Homeowners Heating & Cooling Service Checklist
The best investment you can make to protect your home comfort equipment is a preventive maintenance plan with a certified NATE specialist. Between services you can do your part by watching for potential problems. Early detection and correction of the following may save you discomfort and money:
- Listen for unusual and new noises in the system.
- Watch for a build up of dirt or dust on your grills and registers.
- Watch for a build up of grass clippings or leaves in your outdoor unit.
- Watch for a build up of ice, weeds, or shrubs blocking your outdoor unit.
- Watch for water dripping from the overflow pipe in your attic unit.
- Do you see water marks on your ceilings when no rain was in site?
- Do you suffer from headaches, virus symptoms, or feel weak in the winter (gas & oil Systems)?
- Have you experienced a dramatic increase in your utility bills?
- Dose your home have a musty odor in the summer?
Service Tips:
- If you use LP or fuel oil, do not let your tank run low or run out of fuel.
- If your unit will not start, check your breakers status, thermostat status, and filter.
- Change your filter regularly. It is one of the key factors to maintain system life and potentially your health!
