You, as a homeowner, have a role to play in keeping your HVAC system healthy. You will likely handle the majority of the standard, day-to-day HVAC maintenance tasks yourself. However, since home heating and cooling systems are complicated, there will be times when you cannot take care of system issues. In those instances, maintenance by a professional HVAC technician is required. The professional maintenance schedule you put in place will depend on a variety of factors, such as the type, size, and age of your HVAC system. Overall, older systems will generally require more frequent maintenance than newer ones.
If you need professional HVAC maintenance, it is important to reach out to a qualified technician. You can help the technician to diagnose any problem(s) your HVAC system has. You’re your help, he can assess the ‘symptoms’ in your case to make an accurate diagnosis. You should be prepared to provide key information to your professional technician about your HVAC system and about any notable issue(s) you are experiencing. As the homeowner, your direct knowledge of and experience with your system is important to understanding it. Your observations and insight are needed to help your technician diagnose and fix any problems as quickly as possible.
Be prepared to tell your HVAC technician:
- The HVAC system brand
- The model number of your unit
- The age of your furnace or air conditioner, and/or date of installation
- The date your system was last serviced (and by whom, if done by a different company)
- When you last changed the filters
- When you first noticed that your system was not working properly or as efficiently as usual
- The frequency of any specific problem(s)
- If you noticed that issues occur at a specific time of day
- If your system made any unusual noises prior to the service call
- If there were any unusual odors detected prior to the service call
- If you noticed any atypical fluids or water leaks around the unit
- Any other related data points you observed before the service call
A certified professional HVAC technician will perform a thorough inspection and evaluation of your home HVAC system. By providing the kind of detailed information noted above, you are helping the technician make his diagnosis and implement solutions to your problems more efficiently and effectively. He will be able to service your HVAC system equipment more easily, allowing you to return to the comfort level you most prefer.
