Each of these tasks helps to keep the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/quote-request.php\">HVAC system<\/a> in optimal condition, thereby reducing the chances of a costly breakdown as well as improving overall system efficiency and reducing operating costs. The following are some of the cleaning tasks your technician should include.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filter_Cleaning_and_Replacement\"><\/span>Filter Cleaning and Replacement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The filters are responsible for removing dust and dirt from the air that is circulated by the heating and cooling system.<\/p>\n<p>During HVAC maintenance, cleaning or replacing the filters is necessary. Dirty filters can clog up and jam moving parts such as motors and fans. They also affect the flow of air in the system and could lead to inconsistent heating and cooling, low airflow, or the AC unit blowing warm air.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Air_Conditioner_Coil_Cleaning\"><\/span>Air Conditioner Coil Cleaning<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\/is-hvac-maintenace-worth-it-2-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Benefits of HVAC Maintenance\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-6723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/is-hvac-maintenace-worth-it-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/is-hvac-maintenace-worth-it-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/is-hvac-maintenace-worth-it-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A traditional air conditioning system has two kinds of coils; the evaporator and condenser coils. The coils transfer heat from your space to the outside and help the system to cool your home.<\/p>\n<p>Often, the coils will be found in the outside unit. It is, therefore, common for them to collect debris, dust, and smog. When this dirt accumulates, the coils lose their efficiency, causing trouble for the whole unit. The system will need to work harder to cool your house, which means higher electricity bills.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drain_Pump_and_Pan_Cleaning\"><\/span>Drain, Pump, and Pan Cleaning<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As the system operates, there will be some water collected as a byproduct of removing humidity and heat from the air. Drain lines, condensate pumps, and drain pans help to collect and remove this moisture.<\/p>\n<p>Failure to clean these parts during HVAC maintenance means that leaks can occur. These leaks could damage the ceiling, floors, and d\u00e9cor in your house while inflating your electricity bill at the same time. Cleaning out these parts is much more affordable than the bill you will get if you don&rsquo;t.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Call_Galmiche_Sons_for_Your_HVAC_Maintenance_Service_in_St_Louis\"><\/span>Call Galmiche &amp; Sons for Your HVAC Maintenance Service in St. Louis<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Professional HVAC maintenance can go a long way towards lengthening your unit&rsquo;s life by preventing major breakdowns and repairs.
