A Few Things To Check Before HVAC Maintenance Begins

Check and replace the air filter

One of the simplest tasks you can complete on your own. Examine your filter to see if it’s dirty and note the size. Swap your old filter out with a new one you buy from the home improvement or hardware store. Replace every 1 – 3 months.

Ensure vents and registers are open

Uneven heating or cooling? Is your home not reaching the right temperature? Check to make sure all of your registers and vents are open. 

Confirm thermostat settings

Sometimes, your thermostat needs a setting review. Be sure to check that someone hasn’t changed the temperature. Confirm scheduling and that the unit is in auto. If it’s set to “On,” it will run continuously, which is not what you want. 

Inspect the outdoor unit for debris or blockage

HVACs need space to cycle the air from the outside. Never cover your unit and always clean away debris. Fall is a good time to inspect the area around your system to remove blockages or leaves that pile up.

Common HVAC Maintenance Tasks We Perform

SYSTEM CLEANING

Why do we do it?

Dust, dirt, and outdoor debris are the natural enemies of your HVAC. We perform a deep cleaning of both indoor and outdoor units, focusing specifically on fan blades and coils.

What is the benefit?

Clean components allow air to flow freely, which maximizes system performance and reduces energy consumption. Regular cleaning is the easiest way to extend the total lifespan of your equipment.

DUCT & AIRFLOW INSPECTION

Why do we do it?

Our specialists perform a comprehensive check for leaks, blockages, or collapsed sections within your ductwork that might be restricting circulation.

What is the benefit?

By ensuring proper airflow, we reduce the physical strain on your system. This inspection also helps identify the root cause of “hot spots” or temperature fluctuations between different rooms in your home.

ELECTRICAL CHECK

Why do we do it?

We conduct a thorough diagnostic of the “brains” and “nerves” of your unit, including all wiring, controls, capacitors, and terminal connections.

What is the benefit?

Identifying a loose wire or a failing capacitor early prevents a total system shutdown later. Keeping these electrical components tight and functional ensures your HVAC runs at peak efficiency.

REFRIGERANT VERIFICATION

Why do we do it?

We check your system’s refrigerant levels to ensure they match the manufacturer’s specifications and look for any early warning signs of chemical leaks.

What is the benefit?

Correct levels are essential for cooling; improper amounts lead to uneven temperatures and longer run times. Keeping the “charge” accurate prevents the compressor from overworking and failing prematurely.

THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION

Why do we do it?

Our technicians verify that your thermostat is communicating accurately with your HVAC system and that the sensors are reading the room temperature correctly.

What is the benefit?

A poorly calibrated thermostat causes “short cycling” and frustrating temperature swings. Fast calibration ensures your system only runs when it needs to, keeping your home comfortable and your energy bills low.

What Our Clients Say About Us

We were very pleased with Comfort Monster's attention to detail, thorough cleaning, & system check. With other companies, we have never received such detailed reports/explanations. We were also pleased that they reported our old system seems to be in generally good shape. We highly recommend them!

Really impressed with the service I got from Comfort Monster. They were very helpful over the phone and the dispatcher seemed to know a lot about HVAC repair themselves.

We had a bad experience with another company that kept saying that our unit needed to be replaced with no real explanation of why. Comfort Monster not only fixed the unit, but measured its efficiency and recommended that I wait a few years before replacing it.
