Routine maintenance is the most important and valuable service we provide. Proper maintenance is the key to low utility bills and long equipment life. Most manufacturers of HVAC equipment will not warranty the system unless it is being serviced on a regular basis.
We have 2 great service plans to choose from:
1. Peak Performance
2. Peak Performance Plus
Peak Performance is our basic plan that includes 2 visits per year and 1 high efficiency pleated air filter per system, per visit.
Peak Performance Plus includes 2 visits per year and 1 high efficiency pleated air filter per system, per visit. This plan also covers the most common parts and the labor to replace these parts.
Take a look at the Comfort Control Peak Performance Program.
AIR CONDITIONING
1. CONDENSER COIL fins will be straightened and cleaned as required.
Dirty condenser coils raise refrigerant pressure higher than needed, increasing your electric bill.
2. EVAPORATOR COIL will be inspected.
Evaporator coils become dirty because air filters only collect a portion of the particles in the air. Even a small amount of dirt can decrease efficiency and increase operating costs. This is also a major cause of compressor failure. Customers should replace properly sized air filter every month.
3. BLOWER WHEELS will be inspected.
Dirty blower wheels reduce air flow, causing longer operating time and increased cost. This problem can lead to lost comfort and compressor failure.”
4. REFRIGERANT CHARGE checked by super-heat / sub-cooling method.
A low or high refrigerant charge can easily go unnoticed and increase operating costs. An improper charge can cause compressor shut-down.
5. AIR FILTER will be replaced.
A restricted air filter can cause your air conditioning unit to waste energy and shorten the compressor's life.
6. BELTS AND PULLEYS will be inspected and adjusted as required.
Loose belts and worn pulleys decrease air flow, increase operating costs and shorten the compressor's life. Belts crack and break with age.
7. LUBRICATION of motors and bearings.
Improperly lubricated rotating equipment will eventually fail.
8. THERMOSTAT will be checked and calibrated as required.
Improperly calibrated thermostats allow the unit to run longer than necessary. Every degree your air conditioning operates below 78 degrees can add 8% to the cost of cooling.
9. CONTROLS & SAFETIES will be inspected and tested.
Control and safeties that do not function properly can increase operation cost and cause other components to fail.
10. MOTORS will be cleaned and inspected.
Dirty motors are less efficient and will fail sooner.
11. CAPACITORS will be tested.
Bad capacitors can lead to compressor and motor failure
12. CONDENSATE DRAIN will be checked to assure it is open.
Algae can plug a condensate drain which can cause expensive water damage.
13. CRANKCASE HEATER will be operational checked.
Crankcase heaters that do not work can lead to a compressor failure.
14. RELAYS AND CONTACTORS will be inspected.
Worn contacts and loose wire connections can lead to a motor or compressor failure.
15. UNIT DISCONNECT will be inspected.
A worn or over heated disconnect blows fuses and is dangerous.
16. UNIT WIRING will be inspected and loose connections inspected.
Loose connections can lead to a motor or compressor failure.
17. TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES will be taken and recorded.
An accurate record or your equipment's vital data can indicate potential problems, which can be eliminated. A record will be kept with the unit which may reduce emergency service time.
18. DUCT WORK will be checked for leaks and proper insulation.
Duct leaks may exist from the time it was installed and insulation can fall off. Unrepaired duct work problems can increase operating costs by 30% or more. Accessible duct work will be inspected at least once during the first year of the agreement.
HEAT PUMPS
HEAT PUMPS WILL RECEIVE ALL OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SERVICES PLUS:
19. DEFROST TIMER will be checked.
A defrost timer that is not working properly can cause a loss of heat and can shorten the compressor's life.
20. REVERSING VALVE will be operationally checked.
A reversing valve that is not operating properly can waste energy and cause a loss of heat.
21. AUXILIARY HEAT STRIPS will be checked.
Heat strips that are not operating properly can cause a loss of heat or increase electric cost higher than necessary.
GAS HEATING SYSTEMS
1. HEAT EXCHANGER will be inspected for cracks and deterioration.
Heat exchanger can develop cracks with age. If they exist, there is a risk of serious illness from the toxic fumes emitted.
2. AIR FILTER will be replaced.
Dirty air filters can increase operating costs.
3. BURNERS will be cleaned.
Dirty burners can cause poor combustion. You pay for useful heat that "goes up the stack"
4. THERMOCOUPLE will be tested.
A defective thermocouple will cause the furnace to shut down. We don't take a chance with your comfort, it will be tested for proper operation.
5. FAN SWITCH will be checked and adjusted as needed.
A fan switch that is not properly adjusted can waste energy or cause nuisance fan cycling.
6. PILOT will be cleaned and adjusted as necessary.
Weak or dirty pilots can easily be extinguished causing the furnace to shut down.
7. SAFETY CONTROLS will be operationally checked.
Safety controls can cause dangerous problems.
8. BLOWER WHEEL will be cleaned and MOTOR lubricated.
Motor will last longer and the temperature will be more comfortable.
9. GAS LINE will be leak checked from the furnace shut off valve to the burners
Undetected gas leaks can be dangerous.
10. COMBUSTION AIR openings will be checked.
Blocked or restricted combustion air openings can be dangerous.
11. FLUE PIPE will be inspected.
Flue pipe corrosion or leaks are dangerous.
12. SECURE ALL PANELS
Loose panels can increase operating costs and cause a dangerous condition.
13. THERMOSTAT will be checked and calibrated as required.
Defective or improperly calibrated thermostats affect comfort and operating costs.
14. TEMPERATURES and PERFORMANCE will be recorded.
An accurate record of vital data can indicate potential problems, which can be eliminated. Weak or dirty pilots can easily be extinguished causing the furnace to shut down.
Heat exchanger can develop cracks with age. If they exist, there is a risk of serious illness from the toxic fumes emitted.
