HVAC / Filters
NOTE: Images are typical and don't reflect actual ones where you live.

En Español

Prior to each season (when getting close to the use of Heating or Cooling) turn the system on to ensure it operates properly. If your system uses natural or propane gas, make sure you have such service connected before you turn system on.

Reminder: If you're in charge of replacing the HVAC filter, ensure you replace it once per month. If you use a 90 days filter, replace it prior to 90 days. Use your cell phone calendar to set reminders. It is very important that you replace the filter with the proper size. Most of the time the size required is handwritten where it is installed. However, you may reach out to me if you can't find that information or want to double check.

This is not only for overall cleaner and healthier air for all occupants, but it will use less electricity and reduce the wear and tear on the system which could cause inconvenience, monetary costs for you to fix it as a result of such negligence, and breakdown when the system is mostly needed.

Note: It is your responsibility to maintain the exterior unit free from any obstruction which either grows naturally or items placed on top or around it. Such obstructions can limit air flow and make the unit (condenser) over work/heat and eventually fail. If the thermostat uses batteries to operate, you should change them annually (before they fail) with good, fresh, and a quality brand (Duracell or Eveready). DO NOT use old batteries such as form a "working" TV remote control (or such) and ensure they are placed with the right polarity (+ -). You are welcome to ask for assistance in replacing them should you not be able to do it yourself..


*** IF ANY OF THE ABOVE REASONS OR OTHER NEGLECT FROM YOU CAUSES A SERVICE CALL (EITHER FROM A PROFESSIONAL OR RICKY), IT WILL BE AT YOUR COST AND TIME. ***

Your Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning system (HVAC) can give you comfort year round. However, like everything that's man made, it will eventually fail. Pay attention when something either doesn't seem right or you hear strange sounds from it. Getting attention to the system ASAP can both mean that it will be usable sooner than later and possibly cost less than if you push it and it breaks down even further. If you decide to wait days before giving it attention, don't expect a faster repair. Especially during the weekend, nights, during bad weather, or holidays as neither service professionals nor us can "jump" on it right away. Plus if parts are required, it will likely be during the week that they can be acquired or ordered.
