Majority of us take our heating and cooling system for granted. Why? That’s because it’s a need, our want! We expect our air-conditioners to cool us in summers and supply warm temperatures in winters.
HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems require a control system to control and manage the process of heating and/or cooling system.
Generally the system works with the help of a sensing gadget which is used to compare the temperature with a target state. The control system then decides what to do next. The thermostat basically controls the system which regulates the temperature of the house.
To maintain optimum or desired temperatures you set, the thermostat works to maintain it. 78 degrees is the ideal set point for summers and 68 degrees for winters.
This maintains the quality of air in your home. You should keep a check and maintain your heating/cooling system to avoid any problems with the equipment itself and additional costs. Pre-season checkups are important for good performance.
The following steps should be followed to maintain a good service:
Thermostat set point: Ensure the thermostat setting to avail the benefits of the cooling and heating system.
Inspection of electrical links for proper torque:
Cool Specific System:
The evaporators and condensers of the air conditioners should be cleaned in routine. Dirty coils reduce the ability of the system, causing it to work more and for a longer time. This increases the energy consumption, costs and reduces the overall life of the equipment. The blower components should be cleaned and adjusted for proper airflow. Problems in the airflow can also reduce the efficiency of the system up to 15%.
Heat Specific system:
Ensure all the oil or gas connections, burner combustion, pressures of the gas and heat exchangers and tightly closed. Dirty equipment is less efficient and can increase energy costs, damaging your equipment at the same time. Improper usage of any connection can cause fire.
