HVAC Maintenance Services
When you think of maintaining your home, your first thought may be landscaping, interior or exterior painting or other projects that will maintain your home and increase its value. However, while those things are important, HVAC maintenance services should also be on the list. Easy things can be done to care for your air conditioner and furnace. Routine maintenance services keep your HVAC system running when you need it most and can reduce the need for costly repairs.
Gateway Home Services provides routine maintenance services for air conditioners and furnaces. Some of our services include:
- Changing the filters—Regularly replacing your filters is essential to HVAC maintenance. Filters keep your system clean and remove unwanted particles that make their way into your home. Depending on the traffic in your home, changing your filters every 1-3 months is recommended. During allergy season or if you have pets, you may need to replace them more often. However, depending on where your filters are located, it can be dangerous or difficult for you to change them on your own.
- Cleaning the condensing unit – Most AC units have an outdoor condensing unit/heat pump with a fan to disperse heat. The metal fins on the condensing unit often get clogged with pollen, dirt, and other grime. It’s important to clean the unit’s outside with a hose each season.
- Cleaning up around the unit—It’s important to trim any bushes, trees, and other vegetation so your unit has plenty of space on all sides. Certain trees, like cottonwood trees, can give off excessive pollen, which can clog up the condensing unit. We can ensure that the area around your air conditioner is clear of debris and other things that could interfere with your system.
- Checking the evaporator coil’s drainpipe and drain pan—Mold and algae build up in these areas. We will check your HVAC system’s drainpipe and clear any blockages. A clogged drain line is one of the most common breakdowns during the spring and summer months.
