The Technical Side of HVAC Maintenance
One of the most critical aspects of HVAC maintenance is ensuring proper refrigerant charge. Low refrigerant levels can lead to decreased cooling capacity and increased energy consumption. Our technicians use specialized equipment to measure and adjust refrigerant levels precisely, ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency.
Another crucial component is the compressor. This “heart” of your air conditioning system requires regular inspection to prevent potential issues. We check for signs of wear, unusual noises, and proper electrical current draw to catch any problems early on.
Don’t underestimate the importance of clean coils. Dirty evaporator and condenser coils can significantly reduce your system’s efficiency. Our team uses environmentally friendly cleaning solutions to remove dirt and debris, allowing for better heat transfer and improved overall performance.
