At Caledonian Mechanical Inc., we take pride in delivering comprehensive planned HVAC maintenance to ensure that commercial heating systems operate at their peak efficiency. A properly maintained heating system not only ensures optimal comfort for your building but also reduces energy consumption, lowers repair costs, and extends equipment lifespan. Our Planned Maintenance (PM) Program includes two heating and two cooling checks annually, ensuring year-round system reliability. Each service visit involves detailed inspections, testing, cleaning, and documentation to identify and prevent potential issues before they lead to costly breakdowns. After each maintenance visit, our customers receive a digital checklist report with photos of any discovered issues, along with a clear breakdown of recommended repairs or solutions. Step-by-Step Breakdown of Our Heating Planned Maintenance Each heating maintenance visit includes critical tests, inspections, and adjustments to keep your system running efficiently. 1. Heat Exchanger & Combustion Analysis Measure and record the temperature rise across the heat exchanger to confirm proper heat transfer. Conduct a combustion analysis to ensure there are no cracks or corrosion in the heat exchanger, preventing potential carbon monoxide leaks. 2. Static Pressure & Airflow Testing Measure and record static pressure differentials to verify the system is operating within manufacturer specifications. Ensure proper airflow distribution to maximize efficiency and prevent overheating. 3. Gas System Testing & Calibration Inspect, test, and record: • Burners and flame sensor for cleanliness and function. • Gas valve manifold pressure to confirm proper gas flow. • Inlet gas pressure from the building supply to prevent excessive fuel consumption or underheating. Adjust gas flow to maintain proper combustion efficiency. 4. Blower Motor & Fan Belt Inspection Inspect and record blower motor voltage and current readings to detect early signs of failure. Check and replace fan belts, ensuring correct tension and torque calibration. 5. Economizer Testing & Fresh Air Intake Inspection Test fresh air economizer functionality, verifying operation from 10% to 100% fresh air demand. Inspect and clean economizer steel filters to maintain indoor air quality and efficiency. 6. Electrical Safety & Component Testing Inspect electrical connections for overheating, dark marks, or loose terminals. Measure voltage and current readings for all major electrical components: • Blower motor • Inducer motor • Other components involved in the heating cycle Test and record run and start capacitors to ensure proper electrical efficiency. 7. Ignition System & Safety Controls Testing Ohm out hot surface ignition or spark ignition to confirm proper function. Test pressure switches and high-temperature safety switches to ensure they properly shut down the unit if overheating occurs. 8. Air Filter Replacement & Ductwork Inspection Replace air filters and clean fresh air economizer filters. Conduct a ductwork inspection to check for leaks, poor insulation, or blockages affecting efficiency. 9. Thermostat & Sensor Calibration Verify proper thermostat and sensor calibration for accurate temperature control. Test the functionality of all climate control sensors. 10. Unit Labeling & Documentation for Future Service Label each rooftop unit (RTU) with its location and unit number for easy identification in future maintenance or repairs.

At Caledonian Mechanical Inc., we are committed to delivering in-depth, professional, and efficient commercial HVAC maintenance services. A well-maintained cooling system is essential for energy efficiency, equipment longevity, and uninterrupted operation—especially in commercial spaces where a sudden breakdown can lead to costly downtime. Our Planned Maintenance (PM) program is designed to prevent unexpected failures, reduce excessive power usage, and maximize system efficiency. We typically recommend two cooling and two heating maintenance visits per year, ensuring that every component is operating at peak performance before the start of each season. With each visit, our trained technicians follow a structured and detailed checklist, carefully inspecting, testing, and recording critical system parameters. After each service, our customers receive a digital maintenance checklist with pictures of discovered issues, along with a detailed breakdown of proposed repairs or solutions. Step-by-Step Breakdown of Our Cooling Planned Maintenance Each cooling maintenance check consists of several key tests, inspections, and cleanings to keep your HVAC system running at its best. 1. Temperature & Refrigerant Charge Verification Measure and record the cooling temperature differential across the evaporator coil. Check and record superheat or subcooling to verify the correct refrigerant charge (if ambient temperatures are above 68°F). Ensure refrigerant levels are within manufacturer specifications to avoid efficiency losses or compressor strain. 2. Electrical Component Testing & Safety Inspection Measure voltage and current readings for all major electrical components: • Blower motor • Compressor • Condenser fan motors Inspect all electrical connections for signs of overheating, dark marks, or loose wires. Perform a smoke detector test to ensure compliance with safety regulations. 3. Airflow & Static Pressure Testing Measure static pressure to confirm proper airflow through the system and ductwork. Identify and address any excessive friction or restrictions that may be affecting performance. 4. Coil Cleaning & Condensate Drain Maintenance Clean both evaporator and condenser coils with water (additional chemical cleaning available if required). Flush and clear the condensate drain pan and pipe, ensuring proper drainage and preventing water damage. Insert condensate pan treatment capsules to prevent bacteria growth in stagnant water. 5. Economizer Testing & Lubrication Inspect, test, and lubricate the economizer motor to ensure proper fresh air intake and ventilation. Verify that the economizer operates from 0% to 100%, adjusting as necessary for efficiency. 6. Capacitor & Fan Belt Inspection Test all run and start capacitors—capacitors under 6% of their rated value are recommended for replacement. Check and replace fan belts, ensuring correct tension and torque calibration on the blower motor. 7. Air Filter Replacement & Ductwork Inspection Replace air filters and clean any fresh air filters.
