Preventive maintenance

All major heating, cooling and indoor air quality equipment manufacturers recommend that regular preventive maintenance be performed on their systems to extend the life of the equipment, maintain warranties and keep them operating at peak efficiency.

Preventive maintenance is simple, straightforward and critical to keeping your equipment running trouble free

When to schedule preventive maintenance

1. If your system heats and cools your home, schedule regular maintenance in both the spring and fall
2. If your system only heats your home, schedule maintenance once a year before wintertime
3. If your system 0nly cools your home, schedule maintenance once a year before summertime

What to expect from a technician performing preventive maintenance

When a technician comes to your home or place of business, they should provide the following services depending on your equipment and time of year:

1. Check, clean or replace the air filter
2. Inspect and check major components and safety devices for heating / cooling systems
3. Clean, adjust, or replace nozzles, fuel filters, burners and air adjustment
4. Check refrigerant charges and pressures
5. Lubricate motors as needed and
6. Check heating and or cooling cycle for proper operation

A more complete listing of the checks and services that Smoky Mountain Heating & Air technicians perform can be found on the Preventive Maintenance Agreement (see below)

Regular ongoing maintenance on your system

While having a technician perform regular maintenance on your system is important from the standpoint of extending equipment life, maintaining your equipment warranty and saving you money, there are some things you can do.

• Replace your filters regularly
• For air conditioners and heat pumps, keep the area around your outdoor unit clear and unobstructed for good airflow.
