System Maintenance in Beaumont, TX

Comprehensive Maintenance for Home Comfort Systems

At Air Services Unlimited, we maintain a wide variety of HVAC systems. Here are the systems we can provide maintenance on and a brief synopsis of what our Service Technicians do during an HVAC system tune-up.

• Heat Pumps and Mini Splits: We will clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect filters, ensure the reversing valve is functioning properly, inspect the air handlers, clean or replace the filters, check refrigerant levels, and make sure the outdoor unit is free of debris.
• Boilers: During a maintenance visit, we will check the pipes, valves, and boiler components for any signs of wear, corrosion, leaks, or damage. We will clean the boiler’s components and check the pressure gauge to ensure it’s within the recommended range.
• Central Air Conditioners: During maintenance, our Service Technicians will clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, inspect filters, and ensure the system is cooling properly. By addressing small issues early, you can avoid costly repairs down the road and ensure your home stays cool during the hottest part of the year.
• Central Furnaces: Depending on whether you have a gas or electric furnace, furnace maintenance includes inspecting the burners, checking the heat exchangers, cleaning the entire system, and testing for carbon monoxide leaks.

How Does HVAC Maintenance Pay for Itself?

A common misconception about HVAC maintenance is that it isn’t worth the cost and that it’s something HVAC companies try to sell to customers simply to make a profit. However, this is far from the case. In fact, neglecting HVAC maintenance leads to costly consequences such as increased energy bills, unexpected breakdowns, and a reduced lifespan for your system. Studies have determined that regular HVAC maintenance not only covers its cost, but also saves homeowners substantial money in the long run.

The Cost of Skipping HVAC Maintenance

Ignoring HVAC maintenance can end up costing far more than anticipated. Without proper care, your system becomes less efficient, forcing it to work harder to heat or cool your home. This results in higher energy consumption and elevated utility bills.

Skipping maintenance also raises the likelihood of breakdowns and repairs. Research shows that up to 85% of HVAC repairs occur in systems that have not received maintenance. Regular HVAC tune-ups can help homeowners in Beaumont, TX avoid these unnecessary expenses.

Financial Advantages of HVAC Maintenance

• Extended Lifespan: Regular HVAC maintenance is a worthwhile investment that results in lower energy bills and an extended system lifespan. A report by the National Association of Home Builders found that routine maintenance can extend an HVAC system’s lifespan by up to 50%.
• Reduced Energy Use: According to the US Department of Energy, an HVAC system that isn’t serviced regularly can consume up to 25% more energy than one that is properly maintained, leading to substantial costs over time. Maintenance can potentially save homeowners thousands of dollars over the system’s lifespan.
• Reduced Breakdowns: According to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), consistent maintenance can reduce the risk of breakdowns by up to 90%. Preventive maintenance is designed to keep your HVAC system operating efficiently. A small investment in regular service now can prevent costly emergency repairs later.

How Often Should I Get My HVAC Systems Serviced?

Knowing when and how often to schedule HVAC maintenance can be tricky for homeowners who may have had different HVAC systems at one time or another. Here is a timeline of when to schedule service based on the system you own.

Heat Pumps and Mini Splits

When to schedule maintenance: Twice a year, ideally in the spring and fall.

When to schedule heat pump and ductless mini split maintenance can be tricky because they work year-round, undergoing more wear and tear compared to other HVAC systems that operate seasonally. Scheduling maintenance twice a year ensures that your heat pump and mini split can handle the continuous demand for both cooling in the summer and heating in the winter.

Boilers

Boilers are critical for heating homes during the colder months, and they need annual maintenance to operate safely and efficiently. Scheduling maintenance in the fall ensures your boiler is prepared for the demands of winter. Regular maintenance ensures that it is running efficiently and safely.

Central Air Conditioners

Maintenance Tips and Tasks for Homeowners

Although the majority of HVAC maintenance tasks should be left to professionals, these DIY tasks should be included on every homeowner’s checklist.

• Change or Clean Air Filters: One of the easiest and most important things Beaumont, TX homeowners can do is regularly change or clean the air filters in their HVAC systems. Dirty filters restrict airflow, causing the system to work harder, which can lead to higher energy bills and even system breakdowns. Depending on the type of filter and how often the system runs, filters should be replaced every 1–3 months.
• Keep Outdoor Units Clear of Debris: The outdoor unit needs to be free of debris in order for heat pumps, central air conditioners, and furnaces to work efficiently. Leaves, dirt, grass clippings, and other debris can clog the unit and obstruct airflow. Homeowners should regularly check and clean around the outdoor unit, keeping at least two feet of clearance around it for optimal airflow.
• Check Air Vents: Blocked or dirty air vents can reduce the efficiency of your HVAC system. Homeowners should periodically check their vents to ensure they’re clean and free from obstructions like furniture, rugs, or curtains. Vacuuming the vents can help prevent dust buildup that could reduce airflow and strain the system.
