Maintenance

Your HVAC system plays a crucial role in home comfort. What’s more, your heating and cooling system also impacts your energy bill. To save money and ensure you’re comfortable all year round, you need to have your HVAC system running as efficiently as possible; this is why it’s essential you regularly maintain it.

With regular HVAC maintenance, you’re not just making sure your energy costs are as low as possible; you are also saving money in the long run because you’re preventing any breakdowns of the equipment.

Patriot Air offers high-quality maintenance services at a reasonable price. We guarantee superb customer satisfaction and will never conduct unnecessary maintenance service. During the maintenance or service call, our technician will make any necessary repairs and alert you of a possible situation.

Call Patriot Air to assist you in maintaining any of the following or to answer any questions you may have:

Air Conditioner Maintenance
When it comes to air conditioners, we conduct an annual service tune-up and cleaning. This is usually performed in the spring.

Our professional technician will check and clean the connections, coils, blower components, lines, refrigerant, drain, fuses, and thermostat(s) and lubricate all working parts.

Between maintenance service calls, we recommend you remove any yard debris or vegetation from the top and the sides of your outdoor AC unit, as well as cover it with an AC cover or tarp during winter.

Heat Pump Maintenance
Many people think that heat pumps require a lot of maintenance. This can’t be further from the truth. Heat pumps need an annual service tune-up and cleaning.

During a heat pump maintenance call, our professional technician will check and clean ducts, filters, blower, indoor coil, ducts, refrigerant, electric terminals, connections, motors, and belts, as well as lubricate all working parts.

Between maintenance calls, we recommend you clean the filter every three months and clean the outdoor coils whenever they seem dirty. You should also keep yard debris or vegetation away from the unit to ensure they don’t get into the system.

Water Heater Maintenance
Water heater maintenance is also conducted once a year. One of our experienced technicians will come over and check the water pressure valve and the anode rod for any degradation. They’ll also flush the tank, adjust the temperature, and even insulate the pipes and the tank in between maintenance calls when needed.

Gas Fireplace Maintenance
Gas fireplace maintenance is performed once a year, usually during the fall. During the inspection and service, our professional technician will check and clean the inside combustion chamber, pilot, burners, logs, safety switches, glass doors or lens, wiring, and gas valve.

Our technician will also show you how to clean the glass doors and check their bolts for stability. They’ll also show you how to check the exterior gasket for cracks or missing pieces and check the outside vent for debris and dirt.

Furnace and Boiler Maintenance
Like with all HVAC equipment, furnace and boiler maintenance is conducted once a year. Our technician will check and clean (depending on whether you have a furnace or boiler) all the connections, controls, sensors, drains, ignitor, ducts, pipes, burners, valves, motors, thermostat(s), and smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, and instruct you on anything you could do between our service visits.

Whole-House Humidifier Maintenance
Whole-house humidifier maintenance is usually performed at the same time as furnace tune-up and cleaning. Typically there isn’t much in the way of maintenance; however, our technician will change your humidifier pad and clean any mineral buildup you may have (in the case of hard water).

We’ll also show you how to dissolve the buildup on your own so you can keep your humidifier working at peak efficiency at all times.

Air-Filtration System Maintenance
Air-filtration system maintenance is pretty straightforward and usually means changing or cleaning the filter every three months; hanging or cleaning your filter regularly will ensure the best filtration for your home and extend the life of the system. If you need any assistance or would like to install an air-filtration system, feel free to talk with one of our professionals at Patriot Air.
