Summertime is near!

Heating&Cooling; Maintenance Why you need regular maintenance You wouldn’t drive your car 100,000 miles without changing the oil. The same logic holds true for your home comfort system. Regular preventative maintenance is the best way to ensure trouble-free operation and peak performance. Pre-season maintenance is also important. It can help to avoid a system failure in severe hot or cold weather when you need it most. In most cases, having your system maintained is required under your equipment warranty. The inside scoop on maintenanceYou should expect your service technician to: Do a complete system operation check in both cooling and heating modes Check the defrost operation on the heat pump (if you have one) Check all other major components and safety devices Clean both indoor and outdoor air conditioner coils Clean the indoor blower housing and blower wheel Most modern residential air conditioning and heating fan motors have permanently lubricated bearings so no additional lubrication is needed. Your duct system should also be checked. Inefficient operation can be caused by return air leaks located in non-air conditioned spaces like attics or crawl areas. Hot or cold air is drawn in through the leak, which is then heated or cooled by your system. This decreases your system's ability to heat or cool your home and also increases your energy bill. When to do it If your air conditioning system both heats and cools your home, you should have maintenance performed in the spring and fall. If you have an air conditioning-only or heating-only system, maintenance should be performed at least once a year prior to the heating or air conditioning season. Preventative Maintenance Checklist The old adage is true: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That’s why we encourage all Trane owners to perform preventative maintenance. Below you’ll find our Preventative Maintenance Checklist, which is our proven method to keep your system in the pink and your home in constant comfort.When to schedule maintenance:If your system heats and cools your home:Perform maintenance in the spring and fall.Cooling-only:Perform maintenance at least once a year, before the cooling season.Heating-only:Perform maintenance at least once a year, before the heating season.Outdoor unitsYou should expect your service technician to:Inspect unit for proper refrigerant level and adjust if necessaryClean dirt, leaves and debris from inside cabinetInspect base pan for restricted drain openings—remove obstructions as necessaryInspect coil and cabinet—clean as neededInspect fan motor and fan blades for wear and damage—on older models lubricate as neededInspect control box, associated controls/accessories, wiring and connections. Controls may include contactors, relays, circuit boards, capacitors, sump heat and other accessories. All control box and electrical parts should be checked for wear or damage.Inspect compressor and associated tubing for damage Indoor unitsInspect and clean blower assembly (includes blower housing, blower wheel and motor)On older models, lubricate motor and inspect and replace fan belt if neededCheck combustion blower housing for lint and debris and clean as necessaryInspect evaporator coil, drain pan and condensate drain lines. Clean as neededInspect for gas leaks in gas furnacesInspect burner assembly—clean and adjust as neededInspect ignition system and safety controls—clean and adjust as neededInspect heat exchanger or heating elementsInspect flue system—check for proper attachment to the furnace, any dislocated sections, and for signs of corrosion.

Indoor Air Quality

Read It Now Here Excerpt from our latest newsletter!    Indoor Air QualityWe know you love your home.This is why we know the air your family breathes is important to you.Indoor Air QualityHow clean is the air inside your home?When you breathe in the air in your home, you may be breathing in more than you know. Approximately 87% of American homeowners are unaware of indoor air pollution. Our indoor air facts may surprise you. What's the risk?A serious problemThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health. EPA studies indicate that indoor levels of many pollutants may be 25 times - and occastionally more than 100 times - higher than outdoor levels. Another study by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts shows that indoor air contaminants are responsible for or aggravate half of all illnesses.Many susceptiblePoor indoor air quality negatively affects the health of more than 15 million Americans who have asthma and the 28 million who suffer from hay fever and other allergies.Children especially at riskIt's important to remember that young children breathe faster than adults - inhaling 50% more air per pound of body weight. They're particularly sensitive to indoor air quality problems. Where do pollutants come from?Tobacco smokeTobacco smoke contains over 4,000 compounds, many of which are strong irritants.Ordinary activitiesDaily chores like cooking, cleaning and redecorating can spread pollutants.DustMost homes generate about 40 pounds per year for every 1,500 square feet of space. About 40,000 dust mites, a common cause of household allergies, can be found in just one ounce of dust.PollenFlowers are one source of pollen, but tress are the main culprits for allergy sufferers. Birch, alder and pine trees rely on the wind (instead of inspects) to distribute their pollen.Exposure on the riseExposure to indoor air pollutants has increased for many reasons, including more frequent use of chemically formulated personal care products, household cleaners and synthetic materials. Also, most homes built after 1979 have tighter insulation wraps that trap smoke, odors and other irritants indoors. What can you do?Install Trane CleanEffects™Take action and start cleaning your air.

Maid Easy Cleaning Inc

By Elizabeth B at Customer Lob

The service from Maid Easy Cleaning depends on the girl that comes. The more experienced ones are definitely 5 out of 5, whereas the less experienced ones are like 3. Most of the girls are great though, and Sherry is wonderful. When they come, they do my floors, bathrooms, all the dusting, and my blinds. Some of the girls do the floors wonderfully. I have dogs, so it needs to be vacuumed and cleaned thoroughly, which some of the inexperienced girls do not do as well. But most of the time, it looks great. Sherry sometimes forgets when I make an appointment and there can be some confusion, especially if we had days changed. But lately, she has gotten a lot better at scheduling. I supply the cleaning products just because I know what works best with my floors, and it always smells great after the work is done. I would absolutely recommend them to anybody! ...read more
