Preventive Maintenance (PM)

Preventive Maintenance is the best way to assure that your HVAC system will not let you down.  If you choose to put off regular maintenance, it can lead to problems in the future. Your heating and cooling equipment should be serviced annually to achieve the best performance.  HVAC maintenance enables you to begin the heating or cooling season with reliable and efficient service from your home comfort equipment.  With preventive maintenance, you will have improved efficiency of your system, identification of faulty parts which allows for broken or worn out parts to be repaired or replaced as needed.  Regular maintenance can reduce the potential for a later breakdown by as much as 95%.  While it is impossible to avoid eventual HVAC repair, preventive care can detect some problems before they become too severe and expensive.  You should be able to expect about 14 years of service from a heat pump or air conditioner and approximately 20 good years of service from a furnace.  An HVAC preventive maintenance plan involves a thorough inspection of your system; cleaning blower motors and parts, cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, testing refrigerant levels, inspecting the pilot and igniter, evaluating air flow, tightening loose fittings and connections and more.  If you are interested in signing up for an HVAC preventive maintenance plan, call 785-341-4193.  De Hart Plumbing Heating and Cooling, serving Manhattan Kansas, Junction City Kansas and Topeka Kansas and some surrounding areas.
