Paso Robles HVAC Repair

Maintenance steps may differ, depending on the manufacturer. But for most HVAC systems, the typical maintenance steps involve checking the various components of the system and repairing and replacing components as needed.

Typical maintenance includes: 

• Checking both cooling and heating to see if the air is reaching every room and the system cycles according to the thermostat settings.
• Installing new batteries on battery-powered thermostats.
• Check for any signs of leaks or water that may have collected around the unit. 
• Inspect and change filters if needed.
• Inspect the ducts for dust, debris, blockages, evidence of rodents, possible damage, leaks, or cracks.
• Make repairs to the system and ducts as necessary. 

Typically, an inspection is part of the maintenance process, but there are circumstances when an inspection might be a stand-alone service. 

The purpose of an inspection is to identify any problems or potential problems that may result in immediate repairs or recommendations for the future. 

Inspections are appropriate when switching from heat to air conditioning, selling or buying a home, for older systems, after a natural disaster that might have caused damage, or if the HVAC system isn’t performing its best.

Because most of the ductwork is out of sight, it tends to be out of mind, too. Yet, it is a critical part of your heating and cooling system. Warm or cool air travels through the ducting to deliver comfort throughout the home or business. When something goes wrong, the air doesn’t travel efficiently and certainly doesn’t arrive in the condition you are expecting. 

What can go wrong? Here’s a list:

• Over time, dust, dirt, allergens, and even rodent droppings can build up, reducing the quality of air.
• Even though most material used for ducting is rust-resistant, it’s not rust-proof. Over time, exposure to moisture can cause rust, weakening the structure, and leading to cracks and leaks. Things that can lead to rusted ducting include water damage to the structure from storms, undetected water leaks, or even fire suppression activities. 
• Damage from natural disasters such as earthquakes and mudslides, which cause the building to shift, can also damage ducting by twisting it, breaking it, or causing separation at the seams.
• The older the ducting, the higher the chances of some kind of wear and tear. 

On Point Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning can inspect your ducting and make any necessary repairs.
