Aaron: Your HVAC equipment needs to have routine maintenance performed to make sure that it’s operating efficiently and continues operating properly long after the warranty expires. Here are several of the things that we do when we come out to perform your maintenance.

Aaron (voice over scene of a technician changing out a filter): We will check your filter and we will replace it if you have one available. Keeping a clean filter keeps your indoor equipment and ductwork clean.
Aaron (voice over scene of a technician blowing out drain lines): We blow out the HVAC drain lines to keep the system from overflowing water into the home. If you do not have a vent and ball valve installed into your drain line, we will install one as part of the maintenance plan,
Aaron (voice over scene of a technician washing outdoor coil): we wash the outdoor coil. Keeping a clean outdoor coil ensures that the system is running at full capacity with the lowest electrical usage.

We will inspect the ductwork and connections to ensure that the system is sealed and achieving proper static pressure.
Aaron (voice over scene of a technician inspecting electrical components):
We will inspect the electrical connections and the electrical components to make sure they’re holding their proper ratings.
Aaron (voice over scene of a technician checking refrigerant pressures):
We will check the refrigerant pressures and temperatures to make sure that the system is operating at maximum capacity.
Aaron (voice over scene of a technician checking air temperature at the vent in a home):

Aaron (voice over scene of a technician checking flame sensor):
