This can be beneficial in making sure their home and family stay comfortable during the hotter months of the year and it can often help them save money by avoiding the extra costs and emergency repair call may create.

Since most AC units are split level in design, the technician will need to spend time working on both the unit outside of the home and the one inside as well. The unit housed outside will often have collect a good amount of dirt during the off-season and it will need to be cleaned well before it is put into use.

The housing unit covering the system will often have large debris such as leaves, branches, grass cuttings and trash in and around it, which will need to be removed. Once this is cleaned and the housing removed, a technician will need to spend time cleaning the coils surrounding the unit as well.

It is generally used by the furnace as well as the AC in Sparks. The blower will also need to be cleaned by vacuuming it inside and out. Most air filters are attached to the blower and this should be inspected and replaced if necessary. The motor on this unit is generally hardwired into the electrical system and the technician will need to make sure all the wires are in good condition and connections are secure. If the fan belt or fan is damaged on the unit, they will be replaced at this time.
