Good Air Tip

The #1 way to prolong the life of your system is to regularly change your furnace filter.

All HVAC systems should be serviced every year by a certified heating and cooling technician.

For furnaces, your service technician should:

• Perform any necessary cleaning, including the burner and heat exchanger.
• Inspect the venting system and verify that it is operating properly.
• Check for leaks, soot, rust, corroded electrical contacts and frayed wires.

For heat pumps and air conditioners, your servicer should:

• Inspect the indoor evaporator coil for cleanliness and clean if necessary.
• Check the system's refrigerant level.
• Check the operation of the compressor and outdoor fan motor.
• Inspect all electrical connections.
• Inspect the furnace or air handler blower assembly for proper operation and cleanliness.

If the heat pump or air conditioning refrigerant level is low, your HVAC technician should perform a proper leak check and either repair the leak or replace the leaking component.
