Tips Before Starting Your HVAC System Up

HVAC Services in Denver

• Inspect the electrical connections. Make sure there are no frayed wires and that breakers and switches are on.
• Reset the thermostat. Make sure it is clean and level. If the unit comes on, let it go through a full cycle. If it does not provide conditioned air, let a professional evaluate the problem.
• Clean the intake vent on a forced-air system. Make sure vents are not blocked by furniture or drapery.
• On gas furnaces, make sure that the ignition switch is functioning. If the switch is not automatic, a professional should be called to start the burner.

If the unit will not start or does not deliver conditioned air after completing these tasks, it’s best to call a professional to inspect the system.

Preventive Maintenance

One of the best ways to ensure that your unit works well is to have a professional tune-up once a year for the furnace and once a year for the air conditioner. Preventive maintenance examines all elements of a system including:

• Lubricate all moving parts
• Clean or replace air filter as needed
• Clean drip pan and hoses
• Inspect electrical connections and wiring
• Check refrigeration levels
• Inspect ignition switches on boilers and furnaces
• Check pipes and fittings for leaking gas
• Check valves, hoses and water pressure for water heaters and boilers
• Check joins around ducts and grilles for leaks or poor fittings
