The Technical Side of HVAC Maintenance
Since 1949, Perry Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing has been the leading HVAC and plumbing company for Tucson, AZ and surrounding communities. With decades of experience, we’ve seen firsthand the importance of regular HVAC maintenance in ensuring optimal performance and longevity of heating and cooling systems.
Why Regular Maintenance Matters
Regular HVAC maintenance is crucial for several reasons:
- Improved energy efficiency
- Extended system lifespan
- Better indoor air quality
- Prevention of costly repairs
Technical Aspects of HVAC Maintenance
During a typical maintenance visit, our technicians at Perry Heating and Cooling perform several important tasks:
1. Inspect and clean condenser coils: This process involves removing debris and dirt from the outdoor unit, which can significantly impact the system’s efficiency.
2. Check refrigerant levels: Proper refrigerant charge is crucial for optimal cooling performance. Low levels can indicate a leak that needs to be addressed.
3. Calibrate thermostat: Ensuring your thermostat is accurately reading temperatures helps maintain comfort and efficiency.
4. Lubricate moving parts: This reduces friction, which can lead to premature wear and tear on components like fan motors and bearings.
5. Inspect electrical connections: Loose connections can cause system failure or even pose safety hazards.
6. Clean or replace air filters: This simple task can dramatically improve air quality and system efficiency.
