SERVICE & PLANNED MAINTENANCE

Our Technicians are licensed Journeyman and service many types of Refrigeration and HVAC equipment for Commercial and Residential Clients.

 

We recommend our Planned Maintenance Program for Commercial Clients.  A planned quarterly service is customized to maximize the technicians time, give extra attention to older units and identify issues before they become an unexpected service call.  Residential Clients, should aim for planned maintenance every six months.
​
We have listed a few common items here that need to be maintained on HVAC equipment.  Homeowners, commercial building maintenance staff and DIY'ers can safely complete, only, visual inspections and filters changes.  
​
*All other maintenance steps should, only, be done by liscensed Technician. Improper service of Mechanical, Electrical and Fossil Fuels systems can cause damage to building systems and is a safety issue. 

Gas Hot Water Boiler

  • ​Inspect exhaust venting for gas leakage, flue gas can contain high levels of CO and can be very corrosive

  • Check Ignition and Burner Sequence for proper operation .  

  • Check any Natural Gas odors in around the manifold and valve train.

  • Check Circulation Pump Operation 

  • Check Automatic Valve Operations - Two Way & Three way Valves positioning.

  • Check Water Flow through the boiler.   Water flow is critical to efficient energy use and the boiler life.

  • Temperature Control of boiler and heating circuits. 

  • There are several system types and additional steps depend on the application.

Gas Furnace

  • Replace Air Filters regularly , 2-4 times per year depending on use.

  • Inspect exhaust venting for gas leakage, flue gas can contain high levels of CO and can be very corrosive.

  • Check Ignition and Burner sequence for proper operation.

  • Check any Natural Gas odors in around the manifold and valve train.

  • Check for proper air flow through the heat exchanger. 

  • Air Flow is critical to efficient energy use. Check Combustion Air intake.  Gas Burners need 10X more air then gas for proper operation. High Efficiency Gas Furnaces require regular combustion analysis as these can produce very high levels of CO if mixture is too lean.

  • Additional steps depending on the type of furnace and application.

Heat Pump - Air Source

  • ​Replace air filters regularly, 2-4 times per year depending on use

  • Inspect Outdoor unit location and condition

  • Inspect drainage around the outdoor unit

  • Clean Condensate Traps 

  • Test operational sequence of defrost system

  • Check Back up heating system if any.

  • Inspect electrical components Electrical Heaters and Compressor

  • Additional testing depending on type of system.  Single Coil, Multi Coil or Central Heat Pumps.
