To schedule your maintenance check up in St. Louis and the surrounding areas, contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating and cooling<\/a> experts at Galmiche &amp; Sons today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Routine_HVAC_Maintenance_Checklist\"><\/span>Routine HVAC Maintenance Checklist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The following are some key steps and services that should be included in most routine maintenance checkups.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Assessing_HVAC_Thermostat_Setting\"><\/span>1. Assessing HVAC Thermostat Setting <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A properly functioning thermostat controls the temperature within your home. During routine HVAC maintenance, your thermostat will be inspected to check if it is at the correct setting or not. If it isn&rsquo;t, that might indicate a problem, which will be fixed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Checking_Electrical_Connections\"><\/span>2. Checking Electrical Connections<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Loose or damaged electrical connections can make your entire HVAC system extremely unsafe and vulnerable to sudden fires. Your HVAC professionals will check all the electrical connections to make sure they are okay. If any wiring needs to be changed, repaired, or replaced, they will do it.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Filter_Cleaning_andor_Filter_Replacement\"><\/span>3. Filter Cleaning and\/or Filter Replacement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As your AC filters take in and expel air continuously, they also absorb the dirt, dust, and debris that comes from air in your home. The filters then separate the clean air from these elements and this debris starts to accumulate over time. A clogged filter can lead to an AC malfunction, as your system needs to work harder than it should. During routine HVAC maintenance, your air filters will be cleaned or replaced.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Lubrication_of_Moving_Parts\"><\/span>4. Lubrication of Moving Parts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/how-does-hvac-system-work\/\">HVAC system works<\/a> thanks to multiple components that work together to enable heating, cooling, and ventilation. Without lubrication, these components will start to experience resistance as they move and the friction of rubbing against each other will damage your HVAC from the inside. During a routine HVAC maintenance, your moving parts will be lubricated and checked to ensure they work well.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Examination_of_Condensate_Drain\"><\/span>5. Examination of Condensate Drain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/signs-of-a-clogged-ac-drain-line\/\">clogged condensate drain<\/a> can impact how your HVAC system works. During your maintenance session, your HVAC professional will check and clear your condensate drain completely.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Inspecting_the_Indoor_and_Outdoor_Units\"><\/span>6. Inspecting the Indoor and Outdoor Units<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your indoor HVAC unit can get damaged when you try to clean the HVAC system, by kids and pets playing around the unit, or even with furniture or other items bumping into the indoor unit. The outdoor unit experiences the ravages of the weather and pollution, which can damage it. As part of routine HVAC maintenance, your experts will make sure that no serious damage has occurred to the units. If it has suffered damage, they will recommend a repair or complete HVAC replacement.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Fan_Motor_and_Blade_Assessment\"><\/span>7. Fan Motor and Blade Assessment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-maintenance-2-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Routine HVAC Maintenance Checklist\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11910\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-maintenance-2-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/hvac-maintenance-2-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The fan motor can get overworked when you use your HVAC system for long hours of the day, each day. The blade can get coated in dust and debris, affecting its efficiency. There may be internal technical issues with the fan motor and blade, making them faulty. All of these will be checked and addressed during the routine HVAC maintenance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Refrigerant_Top_Off\"><\/span>8. Refrigerant Top Off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The refrigerant is what cools the air when your HVAC system is functioning. If the refrigerant leaks out, the air stops cooling down. Your HVAC expert should check your refrigerant levels during routine maintenance, and if they notice any problems, they should top off the refrigerant and repair the leak.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Us_to_Schedule_HVAC_Maintenance_in_St_Louis\"><\/span>Contact Us to Schedule HVAC Maintenance in St. Louis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At Galmiche and Sons, we have immense experience providing HVAC system maintenance services to both residential and commercial clients throughout the greater St. Louis area.
