Ensure your HVAC system remains in top condition with our comprehensive maintenance services in Riverside and San Bernardino County. With a focus on preventive care, we offer two maintenance calls each year – one for the heating season and one for the cooling season. Our goal is to inspect your system thoroughly, advise you of any necessary repairs (with no repairs made without your approval), and prevent breakdowns while maintaining efficiency. During our inspections.
21 POINT INSPECTION FOR COOLING
1. Inspect and rinse the outdoor unit: The outdoor unit can become clogged with debris, which can reduce the system’s efficiency and cause it to work harder than it needs to.
2. Check the thermostat calibration: If the thermostat is not calibrated correctly, it can cause the system to run longer than it needs to, resulting in higher energy bills.
3. Inspect the indoor blower: A dirty blower can reduce the airflow, can ice up, burn motor and compressor.
