As a dedicated HVAC company serving homeowners across Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts, Atlantis Comfort Systems frequently emphasizes the value of regular HVAC inspections. Many of our customers wonder what exactly takes place during one of these crucial visits. A professional HVAC inspection is a comprehensive evaluation designed to ensure your home HVAC system operates efficiently, safely, and reliably, ultimately extending its lifespan and preventing unexpected breakdowns. Here’s what you can expect when our HVAC contractors arrive at your home.
What to Expect During a Professional HVAC Inspection
Thorough System Evaluation
Our inspection begins with a thorough visual and operational assessment of your entire HVAC system, including both indoor and outdoor units. We'll check the thermostat calibration, examine electrical connections for safety and wear, and inspect condensate drains for blockages.
Component-Level Inspection and Cleaning
Next, our technicians delve into the specifics. For heating systems, we'll inspect the heat exchanger, burners, and ignition system. For cooling systems, coils are checked for dirt, and refrigerant levels are verified. We also clean vital components, such as the indoor and outdoor coils, and ensure all moving parts are properly lubricated.
Airflow and Ductwork Assessment
We will inspect your air filters and recommend replacements if needed, and assess your ductwork for leaks, obstructions, or poor insulation. Restricted airflow forces your system to work harder, leading to higher energy bills and premature wear. Our HVAC contractors are trained to identify these issues and suggest solutions to optimize your system's performance.
Safety Checks and Performance Testing
Safety is paramount. We conduct essential safety checks, including inspecting for carbon monoxide leaks in heating systems and ensuring all gas and electrical connections are secure. Finally, we perform performance testing, taking readings like temperature splits and pressure levels to confirm your system is operating within manufacturer specifications.
