Everything Included in VIP’s BAM HVAC Maintenance:
Annual Spring/Summer AC Inspection
Check Inside Cooling Coil, if accessible: Build-up on the coil reduces the system’s ability to cool, making your air conditioning run longer, increasing energy consumption and raising your cooling costs.
Check Primary and Secondary Drains: A clogged condensate drain increases humidity levels and can cause ceiling damage.
Check Outdoor Condenser Coil for Cleanliness: Foreign material on the condenser reduces the system’s cooling capacity. A dirty coil will increase your cooling cost by 50% or more, and can shorten the life of your air conditioner.
Check Operation Pressures for Proper Refrigerant Charge: Improper refrigerant charges – too much or too little – can damage the compressor and will cause high electric bills, and reduced cooling capacity due to efficient equipment operation.
Adjust Blower Components: Proper adjustment of blower and components is necessary for adequate airflow to assure maximum cooling performance.
Monitor AC Cycle: Our trained Technician will assure that the air conditioner is cycling properly.
Monitor Voltage & Amp. Draw on all Motors: Motors are designed to operate at standard voltage and amperage draw. By measuring amperage draw, problems can be identified before the unit fails.
Check and Tighten all Loose Electrical Connections: Loose electrical connections are a common source of problems which cause your electric parts to fail and your air conditioner to become inoperative.
Check Thermostat for Proper Operation: To ensure even temperature control for your environment.
Check Air Filtration: Check the air filter for any debris or excessive amounts of dust accumulation.
Annual Fall/Winter Furnace Inspection
Adjust Blower Components: Adjustment of blower components necessary for adequate airflow to ensure furnace can deliver maximum heating capacity and efficiency.
Check & Test Safety Controls: Essential for proper protection of the unit and home.
Monitor Furnace Cycle: Assure that the system is cycling properly, and that controls are calibrated correctly.
Adjust Gas Pressure, if needed: Proper gas pressure will ensure the most efficient and safe burner operation and reduces energy costs.
Check for Cracked Heat Exchanger: As furnaces age, cracks can develop in the heat exchanger, which can allow dangerous gases (including carbon monoxide) to enter the home & cause danger. Includes heating system inspection to determine any hazard.
Monitor Flue Draft for Safe Operation: An obstructed flue will cause products of combustion to enter home.
Adjust Heat Anticipator Settings: The heat anticipator determines how often your furnace cycles and will affect the cost of operation, as well as the comfort level.
Check & Adjust Ignition Operation: A properly adjusted ignition assures that furnace will start reliably.
Adjust Air Flow for proper Temperature Use, if needed: Properly adjusted blower speed will ensure efficient and reliable furnace operation and comfort.
Check and Tighten all Loose Electrical Connections: Loose electrical connections are a cause of equipment failure.
Monitor Voltage & Amp. Draw on all Motors: Motors are designed to operate at standard voltage and amperage draw. By measuring amperage draw, problems can be identified before the unit fails.
Check Thermostat Operation: To ensure even temperature control throughout home.
Microbial Growth Inspection: Check for any microbial growth around ducts and vents.
CO Check: Check for Carbon Monoxide gas from the running furnace.
Check Air Filtration: Ensure that air filter is clear of debris and dust.
Check for Gas Leak at Furnace: Inspect furnace for any loose gas lines or faulty connections.
