HVAC Replacement Services in Southern Maryland

“HVAC” stands for Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. An HVAC system is responsible for heating and cooling the different parts of your home or business and monitoring the humidity level, as well as filtering and improving the overall indoor air quality.

There are four main types of HVAC systems available today:

• Standard Split: Standard split systems are the most common type of residential HVAC system today. A standard split system consists of two parts: one part is indoors, the other is outside. Depending on your climate, some variations of standard split HVAC systems include the traditional furnace and air conditioner, an air handler and heat pump, or a furnace and heat pump.
• Ductless Split: Ductless split systems consist of an outdoor air conditioner or heat pump and an indoor fan that disperses air into the home. The ductless split system is the perfect choice for a home or business without pre-existing ductwork.
• Packaged: A packaged HVAC system is one where all parts of the HVAC system exist inside a cabinet found outside the home or business. Packaged systems have a blower that distributes the air inside. Packaged systems may include gas and electric, heat pumps or some combination of the two.
• Geothermal: Although typically involving a higher up-front cost, geothermal HVAC systems are known for their energy-efficiency. They rely on the earth’s natural temperatures to regulate your home or business, often using refrigerant water.

There are many factors to consider when choosing the right type of HVAC system for your home or business, including the type and size of the structure, local climate, existing ductwork and your budget. SMO Energy will send a certified technician to your home or business to help you make the best decision.

A certified heating and cooling technician will inspect your HVAC for many different things, all of which promote the performance and longevity of your HVAC system. Although certainly not an exhaustive list, some of the things your HVAC technician will check for include:

• The functionality of the system: This includes — but is not limited to — checking for the correct temperature, adequate airflow and thermostat functionality.
• Quality of filters: Our certified technicians will check the quality of your air conditioning filters and replace them as needed.
• Connection and performance of wiring: Checking and testing the safety, connectivity and performance of wiring.
• Lubrication of any moving parts: If your HVAC system has moving parts, regular lubrication is key to ensuring smooth performance.
• Pressure check: Pressure checks include checking the pressure levels of refrigerant and piping, when applicable.
• Clogs and blockages: Your HVAC technician will search your HVAC unit for any signs of clogs or leakage. Should they find any signs of these common issues, your technician will clear the blockage and help you decide the best course of action in the event of any needed repairs.

When it comes to HVAC inspection or repair, it is best to always consult a professional. In the long run, do-it-yourself fixes can be dangerous may end up costing you more money and might make the problem worse.
