Preventive Maintenance

Did you know when airborne cottonwood blooms make their way to your condenser coils, they can create significant air restriction? If unattended, the damage will impact your air conditioning the entire summer. Blocked or clogged condenser coils decrease your air flow efficiency by 25% or more which leads to higher cooling bills. Overtime, the overtaxed compressors become damaged forcing you to make costly repairs.In addition to cottonwood, dirt also reduces your system’s efficiency because it creates a barrier between the coils and refrigerants, making it harder for the air conditioning system to eliminate heat.In Indiana, it’s not unusual to experience temperature swings. HVAC systems are especially vulnerable to hail damage. Sometimes hailstones are large enough to dent the fan motor and blades, causing them to [...]

Recently, during a proactive/preventive maintenance (PM) check, our technician reported issues with two aging HVAC units at a customer’s facility. Typically, the average lifespan of an HVAC unit is 10-15 years. However, with Vasey’s PM, we extended the lifespan of each unit to 20 years.
