HVAC Maintenance and Tune-Upshvac maintenance

Homeowners in Oklahoma City, OK, and the surrounding areas know how hot summers can get and how frigid winters can be. The temperature swings year-round put your HVAC system through a lot of wear and tear. 

The best way to ensure your HVAC system will keep you comfortable all year is to invest in HVAC maintenance. Scheduling a yearly HVAC tune-up is a great long-term investment in your system and will give you total peace of mind that your system is in top working condition and won’t break down unexpectedly.

What Exactly Is HVAC Maintenance?

In short, HVAC maintenance is a complete checkup on your heating and cooling system. When you call Barnett Electrical for an air conditioner tune-up or a furnace tune-up, we do a complete inspection of your system. 

From there, we make any adjustments that need to be made and can recommend repairs if we uncover any underlying issues.   

During an HVAC tune-up visit, we inspect every part of your system, including:

  • Controls
  • Panels
  • Safety mechanisms
  • Ductwork
  • Wiring
  • Fan switches
  • Thermostats

In addition to inspecting these elements and making adjustments or repairs, we’ll also clean your system, which helps promote air circulation and prevent dust buildup.

Furnace Maintenance

Your furnace works hard during the cold Oklahoma City, OK, winter months. It is important to get a furnace tune-up as you prepare for the winter. Yearly furnace maintenance ensures that your system is ready to go for winter and will be able to keep up with demand.

Air Conditioning Maintenance 

Like furnace maintenance, air conditioning maintenance should be scheduled once a year. During an air conditioning tune-up, an HVAC professional from Barnett Electrical will conduct a thorough inspection of your indoor and outdoor units, making sure that your system is fit for heavy use during the summer.

Air conditioning units are particularly susceptible to particle and dust buildup that can affect the inner parts and components, so it is important to schedule a regular air conditioning maintenance visit.

When to Schedule a Tune-Up

In short, there is really no right or wrong time to get your furnace or AC tune-up. It is more important to remember to schedule your HVAC tune-up once a year. Most manufacturers recommend annual furnace or air conditioning maintenance, and some even require it to maintain the system’s warranty. 

If you haven’t had your HVAC system inspected in a while, you are probably overdue for an AC tune-up. Many breakdowns and repair issues can be traced back to a minor problem that could have been easily fixed during a routine air conditioning tune-up.

Don’t delay your furnace or air conditioner tune-up any longer — call Barnett Electrical today. We’ll ensure that your furnace or AC system is ready for the season.

HVAC Maintenance Tips

Scheduling an HVAC tune-up is a great first step, but not all furnace and air conditioning tune-ups are created equal. If your HVAC professional does not complete a thorough examination of your system, you may be left with problems down the road. 

Here are a few AC and furnace maintenance tips:

  • Book your appointment during the off-season
  • Take a look at the air conditioner tune-up checklist
  • Schedule a visit once a year
  • Get a copy of the AC tune-up inspection report after the visit
  • Address any recommended repairs identified during the visit

If you follow these tips, you ensure that you are getting the most out of your furnace or air conditioning tune-up.

Benefits of HVAC Tune-Ups

It may seem like a hassle to schedule a furnace or AC tune-up if your system seems to be working well. However, most homeowners don’t realize that there is a problem with their system until it has progressed to a more significant issue. 

In addition to uncovering these issues early, regular AC and furnace tune-ups offer many other benefits, including:

Improved Energy Efficiency

Just because your HVAC system is keeping your home cool or warm doesn’t mean that it is doing so efficiently. That’s why it is so important to keep your system in top shape through a furnace or AC tune-up.

During an HVAC tune-up, a trained technician from Barnett Electrical will test the efficiency of your HVAC system and ensure that it is performing as energy-efficiently as possible.

Lower Utility Bills

Energy efficiency goes hand in hand with your monthly energy costs. When your HVAC system is not running efficiently, it is using more energy, which will show up in your monthly bill. 

An air conditioner tune-up ensures that your system is not running harder than it needs to and can make a big difference in energy costs over the course of a year.

Protection of Your HVAC Warranty

Have you ever read the fine print on your HVAC warranty? If not, you may be surprised to learn that many HVAC and furnace manufacturers actually require annual HVAC or furnace maintenance visits to keep the warranty valid. 

If you fail to schedule your furnace tune-up, you may end up invalidating your warranty. At Barnett Electrical, we work with all manufacturers and perform our furnace and AC tune-ups in accordance with the specifics of your warranty.

Fewer Breakdowns

The last thing you want is to come home to a broken-down HVAC system. Most of the time, a breakdown can be traced back to a small issue that could have been addressed weeks or even months ago. A furnace or air conditioner tune-up visit can uncover these small issues before they lead to a breakdown.

Extending the Life of Your System

HVAC systems that receive regular maintenance not only run better, but they can last years longer than systems that are not regularly serviced. 

Regular furnace and air conditioning maintenance ensure that your system is never running with bad or broken parts and will significantly minimize wear and tear, extending the overall life of the system.
