Maintenance

Much like your own health, preventative care for your HVAC system will allow it to run more efficiently and have a longer lifetime. At Apple Valley Heating & Air Conditioning, we recommend that people who own homes or businesses in Victorville and throughout the High Desert region have scheduled maintenance performed twice each year. Most often, we recommend that people schedule one preventative maintenance appointment in the spring and another in the fall. This helps to ensure the system works well to cool the property in the summer, and keep it warm throughout the winter months. Spring Scheduled Maintenance During the spring appointment, we will inspect your system to ensure it will work properly throughout the summer months. This will help prevent an unexpected repair during those intolerable warm days when you need your air conditioning the most. At this appointment the following services will be done:

Inspect Compressor Inspect Wiring
Inspect Belts
Inspect Fan Motor Inspect Coils
Inspect Blower Motor
Check Refrigerant Fill
Check Running Pressure
Lubricate Motors
Change Air Filter
Test Thermostat
Test Capacitors
Fall Scheduled Maintenance

Some would say that the fall appointment is even more important than the spring scheduled maintenance. This is because we check the carbon monoxide levels at the fall scheduled maintenance appointment, and we adjust the burners to make sure all emissions are at safe levels. This is crucial to the health and wellness of the people who occupy the property. At this appointment, the following services are performed:

Inspect Heat Exchanger
Inspect Burner and Pilot
Inspect Burner Adjustment
Inspect Fan Operation
Inspect Limit Switch
Inspect Pilot Thermocouple
Inspect Draft Diverter
Test Electronic Ignition
Check Heat Anticipator
Check Temperature Increase
Replace the Air Filter
Inspect and Adjust the Belts
Lubricate Motors
Check for Carbon Monoxide

Scheduled maintenance is extremely valuable not only for the health of your HVAC system but also for the health of the people who live and work in the property. You will find that by having two routine maintenance appointments each year that you will save money, save energy, increase the comfort level of the area and protect those who live and work there.
