2. Precision Adjustments
Years of operation naturally loosen components. We don’t just look at your system; we tune it. This phase of maintenance involves:
- Mechanical Tightening: Securing loose screws and adjusting stretched belts.
- Lubrication: Applying high-grade lubricant to ball bearings and joints to reduce friction.
- Fin Straightening: Fixing bent condenser fins to ensure maximum airflow.
- Calibration: Checking the thermostat to ensure it is accurately reading your home’s temperature.
