“Hello, Mrs. Wise, this is Michael from Four Seasons Heating and Cooling. It is time for a preventive maintenance check of your Heating and Air Conditioning System. I was wondering what time next week might be most convenient for you. Tuesday? Would that be morning or afternoon? Okay, Tuesday afternoon! Would 3:00 pm work for you? Very good, Mrs. Wise, our technician will be there at 3:00 pm next Tuesday. Thank you!”
Your heating and air conditioning equipment is a major investment. It is sold with a warranty to last for a set period of time.
Some components of that equipment, however, are not guaranteed for the same length of time. One of the major reasons for this difference is that the manufacturer does not know how the equipment owner will take care of that equipment after it is installed.
When the equipment has a breakdown, it can happen on just the wrong day at just the wrong time. And sometimes the repair can be very, very expensive. All because the equipment was not properly maintained!
Here are the major reasons for preventive maintenance (PM) of your heating and air conditioning equipment;
1. PM increases the speed and efficiency of your equipment. 2. PM conserves energy. 3. PM tends to extend the useful life of the equipment. 4. PM can expose parts that are failing and recommend replacement before breakdown. 5. PM can schedule work during regular hours rather than more expensive overtime hours. 6. Dirt can be the biggest enemy of your equipment, and PM can mitigate damage. 7. PM assures that your system is not needlessly producing carbon monoxide, which could lead to a very dangerous situation. 8. PM assures you that vibrations are not damaging your system. 9. PM ssures that sufficient refrigerant is in your system, since studies show that a 10% drop in refrigerant causes a 16% increase in energy costs. 10. PM will discover any return air leaks that increase energy costs. 11. 80% of compressors fail due to lack of preventive maintenance. 12. PM can spot small problems before they become large, expensive problems. 13. A 1/16th inch layer of dirt on your condenser cuts efficiency by 50%. 14. Pm can be scheduled by you; a breakdown is never scheduled. 15. Your PM records will show you and your technicians how key components are performing over time and predict problems prior to their occurrence. 16. PM records will indicate to a new purchaser that the equipment is in good working order. 17. PM records will assist you in any dispute with a manufacturer. 18. PM will discover problems that affect the clean air quality of your home. 19. PM will assist the technician in advising you on correct equipment operation. 20. PM can be a part of your budget. Emergency repairs seldom com inexpensively.
