What is an HVAC Inspection and Why Do You Need One? 150 150 Lewis Comfort Control

When everything seems to be working correctly in your heating and cooling system, it can be easy to forget that your HVAC is a machine and, similar to your car, needs regular maintenance and tuneups to keep it working its best throughout its lifespan.

Regular HVAC maintenance in Nashville is essential for keeping each part of your system functioning correctly, diagnosing potential issues early, and ensuring you get the expected 15 to 20 years out of your furnace.

What Does the AC Maintenance Process Involved

AC maintenance should always be done by a professional like Lewis Comfort Control who is trained in all the intricacies of HVAC and can safely open up your system without doing any damage. A professional can also spot small issues that may seem unimportant at first glance, but can be an indication of a much larger problem to come.

During an HVAC maintenance service, the technician will:

  • Check output temperatures to be sure they are within the right range of warm and cool.
  • Look for any condensation or leaks.
  • Check for physical damage or corrosion.
  • Test the electrical load.
  • Check the blower fan.
  • Calibrate the thermostat, and more.

This is another reason why it is so important to have a professional perform these tasks since most HVAC maintenance involves several dozen checkpoints.

At the end of the maintenance, the inspector can recommend if any additional repairs should be made, ideally giving you the chance to fix issues before they become a noticeable problem. Prevention is the main goal of HVAC maintenance since, by identifying problems early on, you can prevent larger problems from developing.

It also protects some of the more delicate parts of an AC from wearing out and leading to more aggressive damage. The other focus of HVAC maintenance is an efficient system. When your systems are outputting effectively with the minimal amount of work, you can save on utility bills without sacrificing comfort.

The recommended time for an HVAC inspection is spring for AC maintenance and fall for heater maintenance before you turn on your system for the season. To schedule your HVAC maintenance in Nashville, contact Lewis Comfort Control.
