Q & A

What is the purpose of the PM (Preventive Maintenance) mentioned in the transcript?

The purpose of the PM is to perform routine checks and maintenance on HVAC equipment to extend its life and ensure it operates efficiently and effectively.

What are some of the basic maintenance tasks performed during a PM for HVAC systems?

Basic maintenance tasks include checking belts and pulleys, greasing bearings, changing filters when necessary, and checking for loose connections or discolorations in the control box.

How often should filters be changed during PM to prevent them from getting too dirty?

Filters should be changed on a monthly basis to prevent them from getting too dirty, as indicated by the needle going above 0.4 on the static pressure gauge.

What does the speaker mean by 'static pressure' in the context of HVAC maintenance?

Static pressure refers to the resistance that air encounters as it moves through the HVAC system. A reading above 0.4 indicates that the filters are dirty and need to be changed.

What are some of the components checked during the PM of an HVAC system?

Components checked include motor bearings, condenser fans, and controls within the disconnect box, as well as ensuring there are no loose connections or signs of damage.

What is the importance of maintaining HVAC equipment in commercial and industrial settings?

Proper maintenance of HVAC equipment is crucial in commercial and industrial settings to ensure optimal performance, energy efficiency, and to prevent costly breakdowns.

What tools or resources does the speaker mention using for PM tasks?

The speaker mentions using a spreadsheet to keep track of the PM tasks, which likely includes checklists and guidelines for various types of HVAC systems.

What additional services does the speaker offer beyond basic PM tasks?

The speaker offers services for chill water systems, refrigeration sections, and air-water type systems, including checking motor amp draws and blower performance.

How can viewers find more information about the speaker's services and work?

Viewers can visit the speaker's website at www.acpowercomfort.com and follow links to Facebook, Google Plus, and YouTube for videos of the work performed in the HVAC industry.

What is the speaker's brand promise or slogan mentioned in the transcript?

The speaker's brand promise is 'AC Power Comfort - your comfort solution at its best,' emphasizing their commitment to providing high-quality HVAC services.

What types of HVAC systems are mentioned in the transcript that the speaker provides PM services for?
