Heating Installation & Repair

The way to prevent your residential heater from early decay is to see that it receives annual maintenance from professionals. The same way that you need to care for your car with routine inspections and tune–ups, you must care for your heating system to ensure that it lasts for as long as possible and doesn’t threaten to break down on you when you need it the most. Contact Air Mechanical today and ask about our maintenance program for HVAC systems. The experts at Air Mechanical offer heating maintenance in Elizabeth City, NC and the surrounding areas.

Let an Air Mechanical technician maintain your
HVAC unit

One of the most important things you can do for your Elizabeth City area home, especially as the summer draws near, is schedule air conditioning system maintenance. Each year millions of homeowners neglect a simple checkup and their air conditioners are pushed to the limits. The system might last one more summer, but what about one year from now? Will it hold up on the hottest of days or after a particularly wet and wild spring? The last thing you want is the protective cooling power of your air conditioning unit giving out right as the weather gets warmest. Air Mechanical highly recommends annual checkups on your air conditioning or heating system. You wouldn’t drive your car for 10,000 miles without an oil change – so why would you run your air conditioner for two years without a checkup? For all of our years in business we have provided a full range of AC services including basic checkups and service repairs on damaged units. Please check out our brochure for our service plans.

Why HVAC Unit Maintenance helps

So, what’s so important about air conditioning system maintenance? Again, like your car it might be tempting to try and avoid spending money on something that seems to be functioning well. But, also like your car, if you neglect regular maintenance, your air conditioning system can quickly develop problems that can lead to much more expensive repairs and eventually require full blown replacement.

Freon Phase–Out

Non R-22 Air Conditioning System

At Air Mechanical we are encourging our clients to make the switch to puron related systems

Solve work at the right time

Promoted / demotion can ignite emotion. Being promoted encourages the user to continue excelling, and being demoted encourages hard work to get back

The Results

Freon, once a widely used refrigerant in air conditioning systems, has been found to be detrimental to our environment. Because of this, its use is being phased out. If you have an AC using R–22 refrigerant, you should know that, after 2020, the servicing of such systems will rely entirely on recycled or reclaimed refrigerant. Contact us for more details.

Heater Not Working?
7 Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Check that your thermostat is set to “heat.”
    This may sound like a no-brainer, but more often than not the thermostat is the problem. Programmable thermostats can be confusing and complicated. It’s worth taking a look to see if your thermostat is set correctly before assuming the furnace is the problem.

  • Change the filter.
    Dirty and clogged filters are one of the primary causes of furnace problems and can cause high operating costs.

  • Make sure the gas is on.
    Just like the thermostat, it’s easy for the gas valve to get turned off and forgotten about. To check this, trace the gas line from the furnace back to the meter. If there is a handle that is perpendicular to the gas pipe, turn it to make it parallel.

  • Clear the chimney exhaust flue.
    The problem may be that you have birds or debris in the chimney exhaust flue. To check this, turn the furnace off and the thermostat all the way down. Dismantle the duct and check for debris. Then reassemble the sections in the same order and direction you used to dismantle them.

  • Clean away leaves and debris from exhaust vents.
    If your furnace vents out the side of the house, it’s possible that leaves or debris are blocking the intake or exhaust. If the pipes are covered with screen mesh, replace it with a half-inch mesh hardware cloth.

  • Flush out the drain lines. During the heating season, your furnace can drain off several gallons of water a day.
    The furnace will quit working if the drain lines become filled with sediment or mold growth.

  • Check for blocked ducts restricting airflow.
    If only one or two rooms are cold and your furnace is coming on and working in other rooms, check the ductwork that you can access and look for any gaps between the sections or branching points.


Heating System Maintenance
in Elizabeth City, NC

Each winter in Elizabeth City, NC, we can expect the heating systems in our homes to remain on for a long haul of cold days. Eventually, the heaters will go into hibernation when the spring thaw arrives, but they will have accumulated an enormous amount of strain on their components. It doesn’t matter if you have a furnace, boiler, heat pump, or some other type of heating system: it will start to wear down with all the work, leading to energy inefficiency and a broken heater.
