Regular Maintenance
What to look for
Here are a few things to listen and look for:
- High utility bills
- Unusual noises when the unit starts, stops, or while it’s running
- Water on the floor of your furnace
- Strange odors from your vents
- Little or no airflow
- Your unit runs longer than usual to heat or cool before shutting off
When Should I Do Furnace Maintenance?
The old adage is true: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Below you’ll find our Preventative Maintenance Checklist, which is our proven method to keep your system in the pink and your home in constant comfort.
- For a system that heats and cools: perform maintenance in the spring and fall
- For cooling system maintenance only: perform maintenance at least once a year, before the cooling season
- For furnace maintenance only: perform maintenance at least once a year, before the heating season.

Even though your unit is turning on and the air is blowing out of the vents, that doesn’t mean your unit is operating correctly. Allowing your system to run can increase the cost of repair or even damage it beyond repair. Here are a few things to listen and look for to help determine if you are in need of a repair.
HVAC Preventative Maintenance Checklist
Many dealers provide priority service for their customers who have an annual maintenance or service agreement. Bi-annual preventative maintenance will ensure that your system runs as efficiently as possible. Your local HVAC company will perform the following tasks, depending on the unit:
OUTDOOR UNITS
- Inspect unit for proper refrigerant level and adjust if necessary
- Clean dirt, leaves, and debris from inside cabinet
- Inspect base pan for restricted drain openings—remove obstructions as necessary
- Inspect coil and cabinet—clean as needed
- Inspect fan motor and fan blades for wear and damage—on older models lubricate as needed
- Inspect control box, associated controls/accessories, wiring, and connections. Controls may include contactors, relays, circuit boards, capacitors, sump heat, and other accessories. All control boxes and electrical parts should be checked for wear or damage
- Inspect compressor and associated tubing for damage
INDOOR UNITS
- Inspect and clean blower assembly (includes blower housing, blower wheel, and motor)
- On older models, lubricate motor and inspect and replace fan belt if needed
- Check combustion blower housing for lint and debris and clean as necessary
- Inspect evaporator coil, drain pan, and condensate drain lines. Clean as needed
- Inspect for gas leaks in gas furnaces
- Inspect burner assembly—clean and adjust as needed
- Inspect ignition system and safety controls—clean and adjust as needed
- Inspect heat exchanger or heating elements
- Inspect flue system—check for proper attachment to the furnace, any dislocated sections, and for signs of corrosion. Replace if necessary.
- Inspect control box, associated controls, wiring, and connections
- Clean or replace air filters
- Inspect conditioned airflow system (ductwork)—check for leaks
WHILE YOUR SYSTEM IS OPERATING
- Monitor system starting characteristics and capabilities
- Listen for abnormal noise
- Search for source of unusual odors
- Monitor air conditioning and heat pump systems for correct refrigerant charge
- Measure outdoor dry bulb temperature
- Measure indoor dry and wet bulb temperature
- Measure high and low side system pressures
- Monitor gas furnace for correct line and manifold gas pressure—make adjustments as needed
- Measure temperature rise and adjust airflow as needed
- Check vent system for proper operation
- Monitor system for correct line and load volts/amps
- Monitor system operation per manufacturer’s specifications
- Provide system operation report and recommend repairs or replacement as necessary
Air Conditioning
Maintenance of your air conditioning unit helps ensure efficiency and lowers energy costs. Ensure your filter is changed monthly unless we recommend otherwise. Keep your outside unit free of debris to help ensure smoother operation
When it’s warm outside it should be cool inside!
