This Fort Smith home is heated and cooled by a package unit, an all in one system that sits outside and holds both the AC and the gas furnace in one cabinet.
What Our Technician Found
Our technician found a heavy layer of dirt built up on the coil (the metal fins that let the system release heat), which makes the system work harder in both seasons. On the heating side, he opened up the burner section and found rust around the burners, which is common on units that live outdoors year round.
What We Completed
- Deep cleaned the coil.
- Completed a furnace tune-up on the gas heating side.
- Checked the burners and flame sensor.
- Checked the refrigerant with gauges and tested the electrical parts.
The Result
The coil is clean and the heating side was checked and is ready for the cold. Learn more about our heating maintenance.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- Outdoor units take a beating. Rain, leaves and dirt all end up inside the cabinet.
- One unit means one tune-up visit can cover both seasons. Ask us to check the AC and the heat together.
- Keep plants trimmed back. Give the unit room to breathe on all sides.
