Every one of us had a powerful argument with friends in the HVAC industry about the need to lubricate your heating system bower weekly.
After our HVAC sessions, we would get together to share experiences as well as laugh about some of the things we witnessed in the line of duty.
Every one of us worked for an established HVAC supplier in the locality as well as were consistently on duty, so we had loads of experiences to share. One time while in our supper split we brought up the subject of oiling the heating system blower; While we often agreed on most things, this seemed to be a subject that most of us had conflicting ideas, clients would call us to handle the annual HVAC maintenance before a significant season sets in. This time around, we were headed to winter, so most of the tuneup sessions revolve around heating units, including heating systems, boilers, as well as heat pumps. So a single of us was asked by the customer to oil the heating system blower while in his session. He was not sure about this since he had never done it, which surprised most of us. He asked the homeowner to allow him to return the next day, pretending that he had forgotten essential items for the tuneup session. He wanted to confirm if oiling the blower was necessary lest he destroy the unit. Surprisingly, several HVAC professionals in our group were clueless about this. I helped them understand why oiling the blower was necessary because it consistently runs to distribute tepid air in the house. Therefore, oiling prolongs its lifespan as well as should be a mandatory maintenance practice when a professional handles such a project.
