Maintaining a comfortable living environment in Chicago is important to many people. A constant temperature in your home or business will not only keep people happy, but it can also help to keep them healthy. However, keeping your HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) equipment running properly can be a full-time task if the equipment is old or wearing out. Your first step in maintaining your air conditioning or heating system is to have an experienced contractor, such as Heatmasters Heating & Cooling, come out for a thorough inspection and some preventative maintenance.
Most maintenance includes testing the equipment, including all the circuitry, verifying the thermostat functions properly, and cleaning the appliances. The cleaning may be the most difficult job because most A/C’s require the coolant to be removed so the coil in the air exchange can be properly washed. This coil picks up a lot of trash over time, and the homeowner can’t clean it properly, but most air conditioning services will remove the coil and place it in an acid bath to clean off the built-up gunk.
If your system has failed and needs Air Conditioning Repair In Chicago, you may wish to have this maintenance performed when the technician is working on the unit. In most cases, the extra airflow will make you think you got the best job possible. Of course, if the system is severely damaged or simply beyond repair it may be time to consider replacing it.
Most Air Conditioning Repair In Chicago consists of exterior work on the condenser unit or interior work on the blower system. These are the two most heavily used mechanical systems on your HVAC unit. However, the thermostat can also take quite a beating, especially the old-style units that aren’t electronically controlled. Constant switching of the thermostat settings can damage the internal contact switches and cause the thermostat to break down or act erratically. Other possible HVAC failures could be caused by simple storms. For example, a lightning strike could short the circuits in the unit and leave it completely non-functional.
