You can call us for any problem and trust that we will offer you the best, most cost-effective solutions.
Here is a look at the comprehensive HVAC services we offer.
Start with Our Seasonal Inspections and Tune-Ups
A seasonal inspection and tune-up of your heating and cooling system will prepare your unit for use throughout the months with the harshest temperatures. This is as true for the summer months in West Valley, UT, as it is for the winter season. At each time of year, our HVAC technician will perform maintenance to prepare your system for use.
The Winter Tune-Up
Our technician will inspect and service the components of your HVAC system that are used to heat your home. This includes servicing some components that are also used by your cooling system, such as your blower fan and ducts. They will clean your air filter, lubricate your blower motor, and check the belt that operates the fan.
They will also check your ducts and clean debris from them. If your ducts and registers aren’t cleaned regularly, dust and debris can accumulate and interfere with proper airflow. Blockages or duct damage can force your system to work harder and wear down faster as a result of reduced airflow.
Our technician will also inspect the various components of your furnace to ensure it’s operating efficiently and safely. The technician will check the heat exchanger for cracks and damage that could cause carbon monoxide to leak out into your home. They will also clean the gas valves because carbon residue can accumulate and cause blockages.
The Summer Tune-Up
In the spring, you should call your HVAC contractor for an air conditioning tune-up in your West Valley, UT, home. This is the second time of year when your blower motor and air circulation system should be serviced. This is an important part of each tune-up because it ensures your home is getting the most efficient airflow possible.
As a part of our normal AC services, we will check your air filter, refrigerant levels, and condensation drainage. Checking these systems will prevent damage from occurring to other parts of the cooling system. The technician will also inspect and service the condenser unit, which is located just outside your West Valley, UT, home.
They will remove the exterior housing of the condenser to check the evaporator coils for debris buildup. As the technician cleans the condenser, they will check the hoses and electrical lines for damage.
If your HVAC technician does find damage to any part of your system, they will recommend repairs. Completing these repairs before the damage worsens will help you protect your system and extend its lifetime.
Know When to Call Us for Heating or AC Repairs
Our technicians are certified and experienced in repairing any type of HVAC system. When you experience any problem with the system in your West Valley, UT, home, calling us as early as possible will save you from needing bigger repairs. This is because a minor problem will worsen over time and can cause damage to other components in the system.
Signs that you need professional HVAC repair services include:
- An unexplained rise in energy bills
- Your living space isn’t being properly heated or cooled
- Your system cycles frequently
- Unpleasant odors coming from the ducts
- Unusual noises coming from the blower fan assembly
You should also pay attention to any other unusual changes in your system’s operation. If the system doesn’t seem to be operating properly, call us for an evaluation of your heating and cooling system.
When Is It Time for a New System?
Finally, you should call us when it’s time for a new heating and AC installation in your home. Most systems last for up to 20 years, so you should plan to replace an older system when it reaches the upper limit of its lifespan. Additionally, you should consider replacing your system if you frequently need repairs. You will probably spend less on a new system than you would spend on more repairs for your existing HVAC unit.
Whether you need a seasonal inspection, repairs, or a new system installation, call S.O.S. Heating & Cooling. Our certified technicians will provide you with the professional HVAC care you need to keep your system running efficiently. To schedule an evaluation of your system, call us today!
