Carrier HVAC Parts & Maintenance in Vancouver
Keeping a Carrier heating and cooling system in good condition requires regular maintenance and timely replacement of wear parts. HeatLand provides Carrier HVAC maintenance services and sources replacement parts for Carrier equipment throughout Greater Vancouver.
Common Carrier Maintenance Items
- Air filters — Carrier furnaces and air handlers use standard 1-inch filters or high-capacity media filters depending on the model. Filter replacement is the most important regular maintenance task for Carrier systems.
- Flame sensors — a Carrier furnace flame sensor (also called a flame rod) should be cleaned annually. A degraded flame sensor causes the furnace to light and then shut off after a few seconds.
- Capacitors — Carrier heat pump and AC outdoor units use run and start capacitors that degrade over time. Capacitor testing is part of every HeatLand maintenance visit on Carrier cooling equipment.
- Contactors — the contactor switches high-voltage power to the Carrier compressor and condenser fan motor. Worn contacts cause voltage drops and compressor damage.
- Refrigerant — if your Carrier heat pump or AC is low on refrigerant, there is a leak that must be found and repaired by a licensed refrigeration mechanic. HeatLand performs leak detection and repair on Carrier refrigerant systems.
