Aire Serv of Natchitoches FAQs

What’s included with HVAC maintenance?

We follow a checklist to ensure that your entire HVAC system is working properly with each maintenance service we provide.

Your routine air conditioning service will include the following:

• Lubricate motors and bearings for optimal performance
• Remove brush and debris from around your outside unit
• Clear the condensate drain if necessary
• Thorough cleaning of condenser coils in the spring
• Inspect connections for loose contacts
• Ensure that your thermostat is functioning properly
• Measure your refrigerant pressure to ensure it is running your system efficiently and recharge if necessary

If you’re having your heating serviced, maintenance will include:

• Inspect the heat exchanger for cracks, corrosion, or rust
• Inspect gas line
• Inspect safety controls

How often should you have your HVAC serviced?

Maintenance of your HVAC system is needed twice per year for proper maintenance. Each system will have maintenance annually. It is best to have your air conditioner serviced in the spring, and your heating serviced in late summer or early fall.

We recommend this schedule to avoid potential problems that could crop up when you actually need to regularly use each system. It allows us to give you advanced warning if we see something that may need repair sooner rather than later.
