Annual Heat Pump & Air Conditioning Service Inspections

Annual air conditioning equipment system inspections should be scheduled well before season changes, and can include many different aspects and tasks. These services extend the life of your equipment by leaps and bounds. Some items that should be addressed are cleaning debris from the fan area, checking refrigerant levels, cleaning and adjusting blower motor and its components, and the cleaning and inspection of the evaporator and condenser coils.

Exterior Condenser Equipment

Keeping direct sunlight off the compressor area of your equipment, can help regulate its efficiency, also leaving a one foot buffer zone around the unit will ensure the unit maintains the proper intake flow.

Ductwork Efficiency

20 percent of your conditioned air can be lost through leaks in ductwork. Use a heavy duty contractor grade metal backed tape or a mastic type product to seal seams and joints in your duct systems. Insulating your ductwork aids in maintaining the required air temperatures while reducing the build up of condensation.

Programmable Thermostats

Programmable thermostats go along way in automating your HVAC system, allowing it to make necessary adjustments to the cooling and heating output based on the a certain programmed demand time.

Air Filter Replacement

The regular replacement of all system filters allows your equipment to take in the proper amount of intake and return air, so it is not straining itself to pull air through. It also eliminates the build up of dirt and debris that can cause problems with all your system components

Equipment Upgrading & Replacement

Heating and cooling equipment replacement should be considered when dealing with units over ten years old. There are now many affordable equipment options that are Energy Star rated, which conserves energy and saves you money. Compatibility should also be considered when shopping for new system components, to ensure maximum efficiency and system performance. The air conditioner, furnace and heat pump must work together and the professional Ft Worth heat pump repair specialist can make sure it will work together.

Room Air Conditioners:
Installing the right room air conditioner is a key to maintaining proper comfortability. Units should be sized to match the capacity and needs of a particular room. Even room air conditioners are available in qualifying Energy Star rated models. Models are available with easy to clean filters, programmable controls, and digital displays. Units should be installed on walls that receive as little direct sunlight as possible. As a resource Energy Star publishes “AC Sizing Guidelines” to assist you in selecting the right unit for the job.
