Maintaining a Central Forced-Air System: What Does It Involve?

Did you know that maintaining a central forced-air system actually involves two essential steps: inspection and cleaning?

First, we recommend a complete inspection of your equipment every 2 to 3 years. This step involves having a certified refrigeration technician check your system to ensure everything is functioning properly. Several checks will be performed, including:

• inspecting pressure and amperage, both indoors and outdoors;
• verifying the operation of the thermostat;
• checking the condition of the filters;
• inspecting and cleaning internal components such as the evaporator, the condensate pan, the drain, and the water pump.

The technician can also perform repairs or replace any defective parts as needed.

Second, we recommend a complete cleaning of the ventilation ducts every 5 years. This service is carried out by a team specializing in duct cleaning. It involves removing all accumulated dust, allergens, and bacteria from the system.

Complete maintenance of a central forced-air system relies on these two complementary steps, both equally important to ensure healthy air and optimal performance.
