How Regular HVAC Services Support Your System's Longevity

Keeping your HVAC system in good condition helps prevent early replacement and costly repairs. Mr. Furnace offers furnace and air conditioning maintenance services that help solve various issues. Here is more information about how regular HVAC services support your system’s longevity:

System Cleaning

Your system’s condenser coil can become clogged with dirt or dust, which can affect the heat transfer process. As part of your contractor’s HVAC services, a team of technicians will turn off the circuit breaker and thoroughly clean your system. This process includes rinsing off the oil with a custom power washer and cleaning the coil vacuum brush. Regular cleanings help the system function efficiently, cool your home, and keep the unit's parts clean.

An HVAC system requires air filters to prevent debris from entering and maintain the air quality inside your home. Every day use results in a buildup on the filters over time. Signs of dirty filters include reduced airflow and increased dust in your house. Our technicians at Mr. Furnace will inspect your air filters and clean them with a soft brush or replace them if needed. Regularly cleaning your air filters prevents your system from having to use more energy to cool.

Issue Repair

Loose wires and broken parts can wear down your system. Scheduling regular servicing allows technicians to perform thorough checks on your furnace and air conditioning unit. They will evaluate its functioning and perform maintenance tasks. This process includes: 

  • Lubricating parts and oiling the motor: Lubricants work to reduce friction for the moving parts of your system, and some motors may require frequent oiling. During the visit, the technicians will oil the motor and check for leaks.
  • Checking the blower belt: Dirt or incorrect tension can damage the blower belt, which connects the blower and motor. The technicians will check the belt's alignment and tension, and replace it if needed.
  • Inspecting electrical parts: Electrical components control the flow of the unit. Technicians can adjust electrical controls and wiring. 

Technicians can also calibrate your thermostat, or install a new one, inspect the safety interlocks, and check the temperatures of the evaporator and condenser coils. These check-ins let the technicians identify and repair minor issues, reducing strain on the system’s parts. This prevents these issues from becoming larger problems that result in early breakdowns and require system replacements. Our team at Mr. Furnace can replace heavily damaged parts or find a new unit that fits your home's specifications.

Heat Exchanger Maintenance

Proper combustion and a healthy heat exchanger are key to your furnace operating safely and efficiently. Soot, dust, and debris will build up inside your furnace over time, which may reduce the heating efficiency or create safety risks. During a maintenance visit, technicians carefully inspect and clean the heat exchanger to make sure it is free from cracks and corrosion. 

Experts also check burners to verify that fuel is burned completely. Properly adjusted burners offer consistent heat and lower the risk of incomplete combustion, which can produce carbon monoxide. By keeping your heat exchanger and burners in good working condition, your furnace will operate safely; it also delivers steady warmth, and you will help extend the life of your system.
