Does your HVAC system need acute or preventative care? 

 

Simply put, needing HVAC service is referring to needing repairs done, while HVAC maintenance is referring to preventative measures that help improve performance and extend the life of your system. Think of your heating and cooling system like your car – when you’re having maintenance done, you’re having the oil changed, the tires rotated, and your filters replaced. You know these are necessary for the performance and longevity of your vehicle. It’s the same principle for your HVAC system. When you hear a weird sound coming from your car or you notice something isn’t working correctly, you take it in to be serviced. The mechanic will look at the vehicle and discover what is causing the problem, along with looking for issues that may cause a problem in the future. HVAC service works much the same way.

 

When Should You Get HVAC Maintenance? HVAC maintenance should be done by a professional twice per year to keep it operating effectively and efficiently. This not only helps you stay cooler and more comfortable in your home, but it also reduces your energy costs. One benefit to routine maintenance that is often overlooked is that a professional technician will discover if your unit is in need of repair or is at risk of a breakdown and fix it before your HVAC unit stops working. If you’ve ever suffered through a Raleigh summer without air conditioning, you’ll know how important that is! Routine HVAC maintenance includes... Thorough cleaning of coils drains, and elements, Inspecting connections, motor operations, and thermostat functionality, Monitoring refrigerant pressure, Testing safety controls Lubricating moving parts.

 

If you are experiencing any of these issues with your heating and cooling system, call an experienced technician, such as the team at Quality Comfort Services, Inc. Your home is not maintaining the temperature your thermostat is set at. You hear strange noises when the system turns on or while it’s running. Utility bills that are significantly higher than what you are used to paying during similar times of the year. (For example Most Augusts, you pay $300 per month, but this August, your bill is $700). Airflow is poor or doesn’t blow cold. You notice strange smells or musty odors. An experienced technician will get to the root of the issue, while also looking for any other possible concerns in order to get your system running as smoothly as possible.

 

What does HVAC encompass? An HVAC system maintains a regulated temperature, controls the level of humidity, and ensures optimal air quality. As the HVAC acronym indicates, the system includes the following components:

 

Air conditioning: An HVAC system includes some type of equipment to cool circulating air. The approach to cooling can vary significantly from one commercial space to the next. For example, air conditioning equipment might be located inside the building or on the outside, such as on the roof. It might also use water to control temperatures, rather than coolant. In addition, it might play a role in filtering the air or controlling humidity, working in conjunction with the ventilation system. Data centers rely heavily on air conditioning to ensure that IT infrastructure can operate properly, using a variety of strategies to cool and ventilate their systems.

 

Ventilation: A comprehensive system of ventilation is essential to effective HVAC. Ventilation is a separate mechanism from heating or air conditioning but works in conjunction with both, maintaining the airflow necessary to effectively heat or cool a building. In addition, it exchanges inside air with outside air to ensure a fresh supply. Ventilation can also play a role in filtering the air or maintaining the proper level of humidity, depending on the heating or cooling system. Proper ventilation is especially important in data centers, where it's used in concert with air conditioning to cool IT infrastructure. Data centers employ a variety of strategies to ventilate and cool their systems, depending on the type of equipment and their layout.

 

Heating: An HVAC system includes some type of equipment -- such as a furnace, boiler, or heat pump -- for generating heat that is used to warm an internal space. The equipment might target a room, zone, or entire building. Heating equipment uses different methods to heat a space (conduction, convection, or radiation) and uses different types of resources to generate the heat, such as electricity, propane, heating oil, or natural gas. Although heating is usually not the primary concern in data center HVAC, it's still an important factor, particularly in cold climates, where heat might be needed to protect outdoor equipment or components such as chillers.
