HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) companies provide a wide range of services for residential and commercial property owners. These services are not only focused on improving equipment performance, but can potentially reduce utility costs as well. The following paragraphs describe some typical HVAC services offered by an HVAC company.

Cleaning and maintaining an oven

Cleaning and repairing the heater regularly can eliminate potential heating problems during cold weather. The air filters of an oven must always be clean so that dirt and dust do not get trapped in the filters, blocking the flow of air. When the airflow becomes obstructed, the oven tends to work harder, resulting in decreased efficiency and production, as well as increased utility bills. A licensed and certified HVAC contractor can verify the AFUE (Annual Fuel Engine Efficiency) of your furnace and advise you on how to manage your heating system and how to reduce your heating bills.

Cleaning and maintenance of air conditioning

An air conditioner that does not cool well but works may have a coil leak problem. HVAC professionals can check for such leaks and recharge the system by constantly turning it on so you don’t increase utility costs. If it is important to replace a cooling system that is not working effectively, the professional would suggest a new cooling system with a high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Index) rating that would not only keep the environment at a suitable temperature, but also it would reduce your utility costs.

Installation of a programmable thermostat.

Turning off the heating and cooling unit when you are away can save you a lot in terms of utility bills. This is where a programmable thermostat comes in handy. HVAC companies can install these devices so that you can configure your HVAC system to turn off the cooling or heating every time you leave the home or office and then turn them on when you are about to return. Therefore, the house or building will be at a suitable temperature when you are there, but save a considerable amount of money while you are away.

Audit the energy used in your home or commercial building

Energy audits are helpful in establishing whether equipment is operating efficiently and profitably. Professional HVAC companies can evaluate heat gain, heat loss, adequate ventilation, and energy efficiency to determine if the equipment can effectively cool and heat your home or building.

Updating of obsolete equipment

When you want to upgrade a broken or outdated HVAC system, professionals can determine the right equipment for your home or office. To cut costs on your utility bills, you should opt for highly efficient equipment.

Finally, seeking the services and advice of HVAC contractors has many advantages. These professionals are trained to assess the needs of your home or building so that they can determine the most energy efficient and cost-effective equipment for you. Also, regular maintenance of your HVAC systems by experienced professionals would make the equipment last longer.
