Rochester Hills is known to be an area with larger homes with many surpassing 2,500 square feet. These homes have vast interior areas requiring larger, more powerful systems to cool the home along with system zones, multiple thermostats, and a more complex duct system. Below, we have explained some important AC repair and maintenance considerations for these homes that we have learned over two decades of experience in Rochester Hills.
Zoning systems work based on dampers in the ductwork opening or closing based on the demands of each zone. During maintenance, these dampers must function correctly relative to the thermostat. If they are not, the thermostat will not be able to control the temperature inside the zone accurately. If necessary, we will lubricate the damper mechanisms, check for obstructions, and replace faulty motor components. We see 15%-30% energy savings for Rochester Hills homes post damper maintenance and repairs.
In up to 30% of Rochester Hills homes that we service, we see airflow imbalance occur as a result of changes in home layout. This can be from a wide variety of changes, such as renovations, furniture rearrangements, or the change in the use of a room (ex: home office to living space). Our technicians ensure that the system settings are updated to accurately reflect how each area of the home is used to ensure maximum comfort and even cooling.
A common maintenance call we receive is from Rochester Hills homeowners with multiple units whose homes are cooling unevenly. There are three common reasons this occurs:
Our technicians check all three of these at each maintenance job to ensure loads are properly balanced, thermostats are calibrated and coordinated, and the interior components of the unit(s) are still functioning properly.
In larger homes like those in Rochester Hills, the ductwork is more complex to accommodate the cooling needs of such a vast indoor area. The source of many cooling issues will be improper duct sealing, ducts that have not been cleaned recently, and obstructions. Issues are more common because the ductwork is longer and more complex in larger homes. We ensure that there are no leaks, the ducts are cleaned, and there are no obstructions as a part of each AC repair and maintenance job.
Because AC systems must operate for longer amounts of time to cool larger homes, more frequent breakdowns are common due to the stress on the compressors, fans, and electronic controls. For these reasons, we perform regular component inspections and lubricate and clean moving parts such as fans and motors to reduce friction and wear. If maintenance is not performed regularly, the system will expend more energy as the strain on the parts increases. We recommend regular maintenance and preventative replacements.
When systems are interconnected, diagnosing system problems can become more difficult. For any of our customers using complex systems, we ensure that communication between the AC system and other home systems is working correctly. We do this by performing regular system audits and ensuring backup systems such as manual AC controls are available, so the home can maintain a comfortable environment even if the integrated system fails.
We are dedicated to providing the highest quality AC repair available in Rochester Hills and pride ourselves on our fast and punctual technicians. If you would like a free quote, feel free to give us a call or contact us on the Contact Us page.
