Air Conditioning & Heating For 2012

What a better way to ring in 2012 than by doing all you can to keep your Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system running to the best of its potential. There are unlimited benefits to keeping a well-maintained system.  It has the ability to lower utility costs, increase service life (reducing replacement costs), as well as greater comfort for your family and holiday guests.  Maintaining systems periodically also yields a longer trouble-free service for any system, including duct repair and replacement. This new year, Precision Heating & Air Conditioning Repair , a local dealer of Carrier Corporation, a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX), has some solution guidelines for you to follow for maximum maintenance:
 Make sure you are selecting the Best Filter Capacity - The higher the MERV (or Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating the more efficient the filter. A MERV rating of 11 or above is generally recommended. Filter type can also make a difference in indoor air quality, as pleated filters made of cotton/synthetic fabrics can boost efficiency and increase the effective area.
 Replace Filters (every 1-6 months, depending on the suggested life expectancy)
 Clean Evaporator and Condenser Coils (once or twice a year)
 Treat Coils (after every cleaning)
 Inspect Area Around Air Intake (twice annually)
 Fix Leaks in Cabinet and Supply Duct (annually)
 Clean/Adjust Dampers (annually)
 Inspect Fan, Bearings and Belts (twice annually)
 Check Air Ducts and check for disconnected or crushed ductwork. Disconnected ducts can result in heated/cooled air being distributed outside or in areas of the house where it is not needed and crushed ducts restrict airflow and reduce system efficiency.
Most importantly, have your system inspected by your local Carrier Expert from Precision Heating & Air Conditioning Repair for proper functioning prior to the season of use (air-conditioning should be inspected in the spring, and furnace should be checked in the fall).  Remember to also clean the standard air filters once a month.  When replacing filters, make sure you install a replacement that is the same size as the original.  A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and significantly increase your energy use.  It’s also important to make sure clear away weeds and debris around outside air-conditioning or heat pump units, as air should circulate freely around the unit.
