HVAC maintenance helps prepare your air conditioning and heating equipment for the coming seasons. Force Home Services serves homeowners in Denton, Frisco and throughout Denton County. Our maintenance visits check how your system operates, address routine cleaning needs and identify problems that may require attention.
Know what your tune-up includes before you book. If the visit reveals a repair or replacement concern, we’ll explain the findings and your options so you can make an informed decision.
What Does HVAC Maintenance Include?
Your system’s maintenance needs depend on the equipment and the season. For air conditioning, Force Home Services’ checklist includes:
- Electrical components: Inspect the motors, capacitors, contactors and compressor that help your system start and run.
- Safety controls: Check the limits, relays and emergency shutoffs that control operation and help protect the equipment.
- Condensate drain lines: Check and clear the lines that carry away water collected during cooling. A blockage can cause water to back up.
- Moving parts: Lubricate motors and wheels where the equipment requires it.
- Air filters: Replace a standard disposable 1-inch filter or clean an electronic air cleaner, when present. Other filter types may require different care.
- Outdoor coil: Wash the outdoor coil to remove buildup that can interfere with heat release.
- Airflow adjustments: Check air balance and adjust available dampers, which regulate airflow through different ducts.
- Thermostat: Check its calibration and recalibrate as needed so the temperature reading supports proper system operation.
Heating equipment has its own maintenance requirements. When booking, let us know whether you need cooling maintenance, heating maintenance or both.
Seasonal AC and Heating Maintenance
Cooling and heating equipment share some maintenance needs, such as filter, thermostat and electrical checks. Other tasks depend on how the system cools or heats your home.
For a gas furnace, maintenance also includes inspecting the burners, gas supply and vent that carries combustion gases outside. The heat exchanger, which separates those gases from the air circulating through your home, also needs inspection.
Force Home Services offers a furnace tune-up and safety inspection that includes these checks, along with testing for carbon monoxide and gas leaks. If your home has a heat pump or electric heating, let us know when booking so we can discuss the maintenance appropriate for your equipment.
How Often Should You Schedule HVAC Maintenance?
Schedule cooling maintenance in the spring and heating maintenance in the fall, before you begin using each system more heavily. ENERGY STAR recommends annual preseason checkups for heating and cooling equipment.
Your equipment’s maintenance instructions may call for additional care between visits. Filter care, for example, depends on the filter type and conditions in your home.
If your system is already having trouble cooling or heating, making unusual noises or shutting off unexpectedly, describe the problem when you book. You may need a repair visit rather than routine maintenance.
When Maintenance Reveals a Repair or Replacement Need
A maintenance visit may reveal a worn component or an operating problem that needs further attention. That does not automatically mean you need a new system. We’ll explain what we found, how it affects your equipment and the options available.
If repairs are needed, our AC repair or furnace repair services can address the problem. When replacement is worth considering, we’ll discuss the equipment’s condition, repair history and your comfort needs so you can compare your choices.
