Heating and AC Repair Baker, Florida

HVAC contractors cover a wide swath of mechanical, electrical, carbon-fuel and water based systems. But what do they do on a regular basis?

​

• MAINTENANCE: Inspection and maintenance services focus on things like checking pipes and tube joints for leakage, testing thermostats, checking and refilling refrigerant levels, testing electric circuits, inspecting fans and motors, cleaning air ducts, troubleshooting various components for optimal efficiency or faults, or changing HVAC air filters.

• REPAIRS: The next step up from maintenance is the actual repair work necessary when problems are discovered. This portion of the job requires installing/repairing/replacing specific faulty parts on a heating or cooling system to get the heat or air conditioning running again. This is where a majority of attention is focused in the average HVAC contractor, as repairs are often on an emergency basis, particularly in the cold of winter or extreme heat of summer.

• INSTALLATION: Tasks included in an HVAC system installation may include surveying/inspecting the current system and set up, taking measurements to ensure a new system is the proper size and capacity for the home; carefully de-installing the existing system, being careful to minimize the disturbance of comfort for the occupants of the home or office; connecting the new units, which can involve installing ductwork, wiring, tubing, pipes, or electrical supply lines; and a final check after installation to ensure the job is completed and the system is safe and ready for the homeowners to use.

 

The job of an HVAC technician is fairly complicated and can vary significantly from one home or office to the next. Every maintenance job and repair is different from the last. Every maintenance job may require totally different steps and processes than the previous, depending on the age and condition of the system being checked. Installations can also vary considerably, depending on the age of the structure and how well the existing system was installed. In some cases, completely new ductwork may need to be installed in a structure that had none before.

​

Experienced, licensed, trained and certified HVAC contractors have all the skills necessary to review the job that needs to be done and to perform each step required to complete a job successfully. The end goal, obviously, is to get the system running as quickly and smoothly as possible and restore environmental comfort to the occupants of the home or office.
