Benefits of A Complete System Check
There are many reasons we do this check on every service call…
First, this gives us a more complete picture as to why you had an issue with your HVAC in the first place. More often than not, when a component fails in your air conditioner or heater its is because of some other issue up stream. If we just change the part out without addressing the issue up stream then the new part will fail as well. Doing this check helps us get a complete view of how your system functions.
Second, it gives us a record of performance history for your system. We save these records in your file in our computer system. As we come out through the years to service or maintain your air conditioner or heater we have a record of performance we can use to determine which parts are failing, what extra maintenance needs to be done, etc. It also gives us the record of the model and serial numbers in case we need to order parts.
Third, it helps us determine future failure points so we can prevent breakdowns moving forward. Some people want to wait until a part fails before they replace it. But this means that once the part fails the air conditioner or heater breaks down and is inoperable until a service tech can come, diagnose, order, and replace the part. Others want to prevent breakdowns entirely. This complete system check gives us the ability to prevent many breakdowns before they happen by showing us which parts are failing and giving us the opportunity to recommend replacement. If we replace the parts before they fail the system never breaks down.
Finally, it give you, the homeowner, peace of mind knowing that we did not just swap out a part and leave. You can rest easy knowing we have gone through the entire system and made the necessary recommendations to keep it running.
