This is important, as your air-conditioner starts and stops approximately 25,000 times per year. It is equally important that an extensive safety inspection be completed annually. Tune-ups reduce the number of emergency call by revealing problems that can be corrected inexpensively before causing major repair bills. Tune-ups reduce fuel consumption by keeping the equipment running at peak efficiency. You will experience more comfort, and your systems will last much longer.

The Worry Free Maintenance Service Plan includes:

1. Check all Air Filters – A dirty air filter in your air conditioning can reduce the airflow over the
evaporator coil resulting in inadequate cooling of your home and high energy bills. A dirty air filter in your heating system can reduce heating efficiency, increase costly energy usage, and affect the reliability of the equipment.

2. Check and Recalibrate Thermostat - An improperly calibrated thermostat will call more or less heating and cooling than desired, costing you both money and comfort.

3. Check Heat Anticipator – Located in the thermostat, it insures that the furnace will supply the heat when necessary.

4. Check Batteries in Thermostat (programmable) – change if required. Weak batteries can
cause the thermostat to malfunction and loose its program. Most programmable thermostats
require annual battery replacement.

5. Check and Adjust Air Flow for Proper Temperature Drop – By checking the actual degrees of temperature rise throughout your system, our technician can pinpoint whether or not your system is actually cooling your home properly.

6. Check Amperage on Blower Motor – Improper voltage and amperage can significantly reduce the life of the blower, and ventor motors.

7. Close Humidifier By-Pass – Closing this damper ensures complete air flow across evaporator
coil. No efficiency losses due to air-flow by-passing cooling coil.

8. Check Blower Wheel and its Components – Proper adjustment and cleanliness of the blower and its components are necessary for adequate airflow. This saves you money on fuel, increases your comfort, and extends the life of your system.

9. Check and Clean Condensate Drain – A clogged condensate drain can cause severe water damage to the furnace as well as affect indoor humidity levels and cause intermittent furnace operation.

10. Visual Inspection of Refrigerant Tubing & Insulation – checking for indication of leaks or damage or pinched tubing accounting for losses in efficiency or refrigerant leaks.

11. Check for air leakage in plenum – Excess air leakage around plenum results in efficiency losses due to air loss.

12. Adjust Plenum Dampers if Necessary – Ensures proper air distribution to areas throughout the home for better comfort levels.

13. Check Fuse/Breaker and Mark Panel if Required – Ensures proper sizing of breaker for
system and for safety concerns.

14. Check Starting Capabilities – Assures system will start and operate when needed, saving you money on utility costs and extending the life of your system.

Central Air Conditioning Zones Explained
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=James_Fletcher]James Fletcher

Central air conditioning systems (or ducted systems as they are also know) often contain a series of different zones. So what is a zone in regards to air conditioning? The following article describes what zones are, what they do and why they are so important to include in your air conditioning system.

1) What Zones Do - Zones are basically little junction boxes that can either open or close sections of the ducting. These zones allow the user to direct what rooms the air conditioner can blow into. Most air conditioners can only run about half the home at any one time, and zones allow you to choose which rooms to have on and which ones to have off.

2) Flexibility - The main advantage of zones is that they give your cooling system flexibility. Zones allow you to choose which rooms you want to heat/cool and allows you to turn off rooms that you don't want to be serviced.

3) Reduce Power Usage - By only running the zones you need, you can actually save a lot of money. Running rooms that have no one in is a waste of money. Zoning however lets you cool/heat only the rooms you are in which will save power.

4) Save Money - Saving on power means you are also saving money. Using less zones means you will have more money in your back pocket.

So that is what a zone is. Next time you get a hvac quote, be sure to tell the contractor that you want lots of zones because of the reasons outlined above.
