7 Recommended Pre-Winter Heating & Cooling Services

At certain times of the year, it is vital to tune up the heating and cooling system. This is an important part of yearly maintenance for the heating and cooling system in the home or a commercial building. Those that devise a way to handle this concern prolong the life of their systems. Thus, reducing future cost. It is important to hire a professional contractor to take proper care of the systems. Let's take a closer look at a few heating and cooling services that are performed by the professional heating and cooling contractors.

Thermostats

Home and commercial building owners turn on the thermostat and it does not work properly. The thermostat is a very important part of the heating and the cooling system in a building and must be maintained properly. The thermostat controls the heating and cooling elements by switching them to the proper level. Professionals check the thermostat to make sure that it works efficiently to keep the building warm during the day and save energy at night.

Filters

Clogged filers increase the cost to cool or heat the home. The filters should be inspected every season. Change filers as required. Leave this task to a professional contractor or ask them to show you the way to change the filter properly.

Check Connections

Older model heating and cooling systems are often very inefficient. This might be due to a faulty electrical connection. Professional contractors check all connections carefully and look for damage or loose connections.

Lubricate Parts

Surprisingly, a lot of building and home owner's do not check their heating and cooling units for rust. Contractors perform this task. Dry and rusty parts that lack lubrication make the heating and cooling system work much harder. Thus, driving up the electric bill.

Check Other Controls

Check all the controls that have to do with heating or cooling during maintenance. This includes all heat exchanges and burners in the system. They check to make sure that the
controls are in proper working order and are not damaged. Damages might turn to a safety issue and drive up the heating and cooling cost.

Clean

Professionals are able to clean parts to make sure that the air flow is open in the system. Air flow that is clogged leads to inefficient heating and cooling.

Condensers and Heat Pumps

Professionals also inspect the condensers and heat pumps to make sure that they are clog free and working properly.
