over 40% of air conditioning breakdowns are caused because of lack of maintenance. Once dirt gets into the system, parts are more likely to rust and get ruined. By staying on top of HVAC maintenance, you can find problems before they arise.
simple procedures such as changing an air filter or cleaning a coil allows the unit to run much more smoothly. When your air conditioner runs smoothly, it uses less energy. Using less energy saves you a tremendous amount on your utility bill.

When you call Hitech Central Air Inc. (PTAC Experts), we’ll keep your HVAC system running strong with an 18-point inspection that includes:
The single most important part of maintaining you HVAC equipment is to regularly change your air filters. A clogged and dirty air filter not only blocks normal airflow, but reduces your unit’s efficiency while raising your energy bill. Regularly replacing air filters can reduce energy consumption by 5% to 15%. The obstructed air flow places an additional strain on the unit, causing the unit to go into over drive. Replacing the air filters also increases the quality of air flow in the space. A dirty air filter can turn into a health hazard for those with COPD, allergies or asthma.
Did you know that dirt gets stuck inside the fins of the squirrel cage which prevents the blower from pulling a sufficient amount of air? When the blower wheel doesn’t pull enough air the unit keeps running without the space temperature getting satisfied, which leads to much higher energy consumption, and reduced air flow.
Like HVAC filters, belts are a critical part of HVAC maintenance. It’s very common for a belt to be misaligned due to the vibration of the unit. If a belt is misaligned and loosens up, there will be a substantial loss of torque and can wear down the pulley wheel. Why pay thousands of dollars in repairs when the simple act of adjusting or replacing a belt will not only save money, but extend the life of your unit.
All moving parts in your HVAC system require regular lubrication to prevent friction in parts such as a motor. Increased friction leads to the parts working harder increasing energy use while also wearing down the part.
Maintaining a consistent level of refrigerant is the key to proper operation of any HVAC system. If a system is missing refrigerant while the unit is running, the compressor will get damaged which costs a lot to repair. A lack of refrigerant can cause a system failure in 2 ways. The first is that the low pressures will cause the compressor to freeze up. The other form of failure is simply due to the fact that the compressor requires a certain amount of refrigerant to run properly.
Most HVAC service calls we receive are for leaking Air Conditioning units. The main reason a unit leaks is due to a clogged drain line. A professional HVAC contractor will put acid tablets in your drain pan to help reduce the future buildup of dirt, soot, & mold. Don’t let something as simple as standard HVAC maintenance be the reason your ceiling comes caving down due to a water leak. Prevent these issues before they occur.
Why spend $350 on a burnt out contact when you could have prevented the issue during preventive maintenance? Lots of electrical parts burn due to loose connections. We also come across plenty of service calls that had units shut off because the electrical connection in the thermostat was loose. Prevent this issues today with performing maintenance the right way.
We go to hundreds of service calls a year because office buildings & retail stores don’t get the control settings checked. One wrong setting can leave your hanging in the 100 degree heat. Controls should be checked & calibrated at least twice a year to prevent HVAC breakdowns.
If a compressor or motor is on its way out, would you rather take preventive measures and get it replaced before the summer season, or would you rather wait for the heat wave to hit? Businesses fail to understand that being proactive is much cheaper then being reactive. Why wait until customers wont shop due to heat?
Before heating season, it makes perfect sense to close all the gas valves as a safety precaution. What happens when the winter comes and all the sudden your heating system doesn’t turn on? A good AC maintenance company would inspect and adjust all valves & dampers. They should adjust according to seasons and desired conditions.
The best way to assure a client that an HVAC unit is operating correctly is to show the temperature difference between the air being sucked in versus the cold air being distributed.
Both your evaporator & condenser coils are a key component of any AC system. When they are cleaned, your HVAC system will operate at peak efficiency. However, when your coils are dirty, they can cause many problems including:
