Our Sample Maintenance Agreement:
A typical maintenance agreement should include
the following:
 |
1. |
A minimum of two visits per year. Once to evaluate your
heating equipment and once for your cooling equipment. More frequent visits may
be necessary depending on how your equipment is used, or if your equipment is
in a particularly "dirty" environment. |
 |
2. |
Check all electrical connections, measure
voltage and current. Faulty electrical connections can cause unsafe
operation of your system. Incorrect voltage and/or current can cause overload
and equipment burn-out. |
 |
3. |
Lubricate all moving parts. Lubrication
reduces friction. Friction can cause wear and reduce energy efficiency. |
 |
4. |
Inspect and clear the condensate drain. A
plugged drain can cause water damage and potentially create an environment
conducive to mold growth, effecting indoor humidity levels and air quality.
|
 |
5. |
Diagnostic Start and Test. One of the most
important checks, this diagnostic test helps to reveal any irregularities in
system function, BEFORE they result in system downtime, overtime emergency
service, loss of product, etc. |
 |
6. |
Check thermostat settings. To ensure the
proper control of the cooling and heating system. |
 |
7. |
Inspect, clean or change air filters.A dirty filter can
increase energy costs and damage your equipment, leading to early failure.
|
For Cooling Equipment:
 |
1. |
Clean evaporator and condenser air conditioning coils.
Dirty coils reduce air flow, causing the system to run harder and longer,
increasing energy costs and reducing the life of the equipment. |
 |
2. |
Check your refrigerant level. Too much or too little
refrigerant will make your system less efficient increasing energy costs and
reducing the life of the equipment. If low refrigerant levels are discovered, a
leak-check will be performed. |
 |
3. |
Clean and adjust blower components. Airflow problems can
reduce your system's efficiency by up to 15 percent! |
For Heating Equipment:
 |
1. |
Check and clean all gas or oil connections, gas pressure,
burner combustion and heat exchanger. Improperly operating gas or oil
connections and/or a dirty burner or cracked heat exchanger are fire hazards
and can contribute to health problems. Both cause the equipment to operate less
efficiently. |
 |
2. |
Inspect and change, as necessary, all components. |
 |
3. |
Change oil filters and clean filter assembly. |
 |
4. |
Check for leaks on boilers. |
