Why Preventive Maintenance is Essential

Regular maintenance helps:

Best Preventive Maintenance Practices

1. Regular Seasonal Inspections Inspect key components before critical seasons (heating and cooling) to anticipate potential issues.

2. Cleaning of Filters, Coils, and Ductwork Clogged filters and dirty coils reduce system efficiency and increase energy consumption. Schedule regular cleanings.

3. Inspection of Electrical and Mechanical Connections Identify and repair any wear, corrosion, or loose connections to prevent premature failures.

4. Checking Refrigerant Levels Incorrect refrigerant levels directly affect unit performance. Adjust levels as needed.

5. Testing Control Systems Thermostats and automation systems must be properly calibrated and fully operational to ensure optimal performance.
