Do you suspect your heater or AC unit is failing? Here are some clues.

• An inappropriately hot or cold house is obvious, but does the temperature vary up/down in the same evening?
• Is your system making "new" noises, when the heater or air conditioner cycles on and off?
• On days that are not extremely hot or cold, is the system auto-cycling on and off more often? Does it run constantly?
• Is your house too humid or dry? Are some rooms hotter or colder than others?
• Have you noticed an increase in electric bills, not easily explained by other activities at the home ?
• Has it been more than 2 years, since a standard maintenance service? [ Come on, be honest. We all forget to do it ]
• Does anyone have allergies in your home? Do the symptoms seem to get "worse" on random days?
• Does your A/C thermostat on the wall constantly show the wrong temperature, even when the house is comfortable?

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you need a basic system maintenance check. We all remember to change the oil in our cars and put new batteries in a smoke detector, but yet we neglect to do any maintenance on one of the most complex electrical/mechanical systems in the average home. Done on a regular basis, a basic HVAC check-up is not expensive [ we even offer Coupons and "off-season specials" to save you more money] 3H Heating & Air Conditioning Repair technicians are experts and our system tune-up is only $13 dollars. We recommend it at least one every 20 months. You can save that much money in lower electric bills each year.

There are some preventative maintenance chores you can do to extend the life of the heating system and air conditioner in your home.

• Remember to change your air filters, monthly. All of the "handy-dandy" home repair super stores have the filters that will fit your system. They aren't expensive, so by a full box of 20 and use them.
• Remove and clean the "faceplates" on your ducts regularly. A simple wipe-down with a damp rag will remove the accumulated dust from the inside and out of the faceplate. If they are "disgusting again" in less than 6 months, you may want to have a duct cleaning scheduled. Remember you are breathing that air. Home heating and air conditioning ducts should not be "gross" or disgusting. When you see a sudden increase of dust or mold at any time, your air handling system isn't working correctly. Consider having the ducts in your home professionally cleaned every 5 years as part of a scheduled professional maintenance program.
• Keep your outside compressor "clean" by removing leaves as soon as they accumulate. Use a light spray from a garden house to keep the air-flow fins of the metal cover open and "breathing". Keep other items away from your A/C unit.
• Visually inspect your heaters and A/C units. Look for signs of leakage from all hoses at both ends of the connections. You may not see a leak, but the tell-tale signs of stains and dripping are a tip-off that the system is not up to par..
• Make sure the condensate tube is draining freely. A/C units "drip" as they cool the air. This is normal, but the water collection pan at the bottom of your air conditioner should drain freely. A drain pan full of "standing" water is a sign that the drain plug is clogged. If your A/C unit is running non-stop, and quickly refills that drain pan, it's time for a maintenance check-up.
• Make sure all of the exterior panels are in place and closed tightly. There are no maintenance items a homeowner should attempt INSIDE an A/C unit. DO NOT go poking around, and you sure don't want the neighbor kids doing it. There are high voltage power connections and toxic chemical gases in every home air conditioner. Only a licensed and trained professional should have access to your A/C unit.
• Take the time to REALLY listen to the sounds your mechanical system makes, as it cycles on and off. Stop and listen for any irregular noises. Normal operations should sound quiet and smooth, to the untrained ear. If you hear grinding, clunking, scraping, squeaking, you know that something is out-of-alignment and it's time for a maintenance check-up. Fixing minor problems early prevent larger expenses or system failures later.
• Look around the A/C compressor for ice accumulation. Home air conditioning units should not be making ice cubes for your drinks by the pool. Refrigeration coils covered by ice are also inefficient. Like it or not, ice is a sign that it's time to make the call for a A/C system maintenance check-up.

The average life expectancy of an home air conditioning unit is 15 - 20 years. The lifetime of your system can be severely shortened, without the common, inexpensive maintenance that a complex system, like an air conditioner needs. We have many customers that use our preventive maintenance program and have systems still running perfectly after 20+ years!

Call 813-979-4208 and ask about the 3H Heating & Air Conditioning regular maintenance program. An inefficient system can drastically increase your electricity costs and shorten the working life of important components. Our system "check-up" is a complete review of every component in your heating and air conditioning system, including a cleaning of your coils. Dirty coils can cause your system to age quickly, lose efficiency, and ultimately cause system failure. When we do a system check-up, about once a year is best, you can feel more confident that your heat or air conditioning won't break down during the coldest night or hottest day. Unlike many other A/C repair companies, our preventive maintenance plan not only includes an initial system checkup, FREE, but it also includes a coil cleaning of both the air handler and A/C condenser.

Energy Savings
A poorly maintained system can easily increase your energy bill by as much as 50%. 3H Heating & Air Conditioning Repair uses the "superheat method", when our technicians check/refresh your air conditioning system. It optimizes performance, helps your system run efficiently and ultimately saves you money. Many A/C repair companies do not use the "superheat method", because it's not quick and requires expensive tools. Incorrect maintenance can mask initial problems and slowly create new A/C system problems later.. We locate and clean the sources of air restriction such as dirty coils and heat exchangers, or improperly working fans. Partially blocked, or dirty, sticky, coils and/or heat exchangers put unnecessary stress on other system components. Your system will "wear out" more quickly, lose efficiency each month, and ultimately cause system failure. A simple 3H Heating & Air Conditioning maintenance service can reduce your operating costs by 25% to 50%, starting tomorrow. Call 813-979-4208 to schedule a convenient appointment.
