Few things can have your stomach sinking as easily as realizing your HVAC system is on the fritz. At best, you are looking at an unexpected bill. At worst, you home may be unlivable until it is fixed. One of the best ways to avoid such a situation is through routine HVAC maintenance service, also called an annual or twice-a-year HVAC service plan. No matter the type of size of your HVAC system, routine maintenance will extend its lifespan, help it perform better in general, and save you money on energy bills. At Moncrief Air, we offer difference maintenance service packages that you can choose from, paying in advance to receive regular checkups and certain repairs and replacements covered in the yearly fee.

Elements Included in Your HVAC Annual Maintenance

The terms of your HVAC service plan will vary depending on which Atlanta HVAC service you work with. When you choose us, you get two visits each year, one before the summer months and one before winter hits, ensuring your system is geared up for the temperature changes. You do not need to call us to set up these appointments either; when you sign up for the service plan, we contact you. No matter the company you choose, the plan should cover the complete HVAC maintenance checklist. Which items are on this?

Thermostat Settings: Your contractor should assess your settings to ensure that they are suited to your home and conserving power when possible.
Electrical Connection Check: The technician will go over all the connections making certain they are secure and the voltage and currents read correctly.
Lubrication: Certain parts of your HVAC system need lubrication so they can move properly without causing wear and tear.
Drain Cleaning: The condensate drain should have all clogs and other obstructions removed.
Unit Inspection: The furnace and AC units should both be thoroughly inspected for any visible issues.
Air Filter Cleaning or Replacement: Depending on the type of air filter you have, it will either be cleaned or replaced.

Of course, maintenance service is not limited to just these items. In fact, ours usually goes further, looking at smaller components as well. With any service, the goal is to extend the life of your system, improve performance, and save you money in the long run.
