Fall HVAC Inspection

Why is it so important to have regular maintenance performed on your HVAC system? In Arizona our systems work very hard to keep us comfortable year-round. Regular maintenance helps to ensure that your system is running efficiently during our long summer months. It also reduces the odds that you will come home on a scorching summer’s day to find your home quickly heating up. Having maintenance performed can help prevent costly breakdowns, reduce your energy bills, extend the life of your system, improve indoor air quality, and stay protected under warranty.

Our fall maintenance inspections include the following:

• Indoor blower assembly
• Control box and associated controls, including wiring and connections, contacts, relays, circuit boards, capacitors, sump heat
• Electric heat stages
• Thermostat operation
• Refrigerant levels (heat pump)
• Reversing valve operations (heat pump)
• Defrost cycle (heat pump)
• Exposed duct system and plenums for air leaks
• Burners & flame sensor (furnace)
• Heat exchanger & flue pipe (furnace)
• Gas line (furnace)
• Manifold pressure (furnace)
• Provide system operation report and recommendations as needed

Indoor/Outdoor Coil Cleaning

Why is it important to have your system’s coils cleaned?

The outdoor condenser coil accumulates dirt and debris that affects the cooling efficiency of your unit. Without regular maintenance and cleanings that dirt and debris can cause your coil to freeze up and stop cooling when you need it most, or it may cause the compressor to overheat. To keep your energy consumption and costs down during the summer, we recommend having your condenser coils cleaned every year, early in the year before the summer heat.

The indoor evaporator coil cools the air before it passes through your ductwork and into your home. When the evaporator coil is dirty, it restricts the airflow going into your home. This may not only cause an increase in energy consumption during the cooling cycle, but the refrigerant will not return from a liquid to a vapor. When the liquid form of freon returns to the compressor, it may ruin the valves, resulting in the unit no longer cooling.

Air conditioning and heating costs account for about one-third of your utility bills every month. With that kind of investment, you cannot afford to have a unit that is not operating at peak efficiency. If your system produces inconsistent temperatures, fails to keep the home cool, or your cooling costs are skyrocketing, it might be more cost-effective to purchase a new, more energy-efficient system.

Proper installation and sizing are the two key elements that determine how efficient your air conditioner will be. A unit that is too large will not remove humidity from your home and waste energy. A unit that is too small will not achieve a comfortable, cool temperature on hot days. Improper ductwork installation, a lack of insulation, and incorrect unit placement can also reduce efficiency.

You can trust Brisk Air to help you choose an air conditioner that is properly sized for your home and installed correctly for efficient and effective cooling.
