HVAC

[Tara G.]

HVAC seems to me as the most expensive component to date. I am trying to find out what all do I need to do to reduce costs. Today I am handling problems one at a time.

Here is what I have heard so far but I am looking for more meat on these:

1. Do preventive maintenance before summer and winter. I am looking for what needs to be covered in these maintenance works. How much should this cost? I have received quotes as much as $80/hr of work and low as $30 per unit for preventive maintenance.

2. Here are some of the issues I have faced in one off work orders:
a) Broken solenoid
b) Unclean valves
c) Over heating on upper floors (I have been told that I need to have been told that I need to do rebalancing. I have 2 floor town homes with single HVAC unit).
