Is Your HVAC or Utility Pad Ready for Fall?
The cooler weather is drifting in, the pumpkin spice lattes are heating up, and the turtlenecks have been taken out of their winter storage boxes. Before you know it, you’ll be turning up the heat in the house and closing the windows because it’s getting a bit too cool. You turn it on, though, and the sound isn’t what you were hoping for. It seems like mechanical components are grinding together until they slowly sputter to a stop — no heat for you!
Hopefully, your situation isn’t actually this bad. Perhaps your problem simply comes in the form of bills that are higher than usual even though you’re using what seems to be the same amount of energy. Today’s blog focuses on whether your HVAC or utility pad is ready for fall — most of the time, people are simply making sure their HVAC unit is ready. As experts in concrete floor leveling, however, we see a different problem all the time and aim to help.

The Problem? An Uneven HVAC or Utility Pad
Over time, it’s understandable that your home’s utility pad will sink further and further into the soil it’s on. It just makes sense, especially with the amount of moisture our Nashville properties see annually. When your HVAC or utility pad was first installed, precautions were taken to prevent it from sinking. Over time, however, these measures can be less effective — leading to a pad that settles into the ground, most often at an uneven rate.
So what’s the big deal? Well, even a slight settling under your HVAC pad (such as a 10-degree tilt) can shorten its mechanical life and strain its electrical and plumbing components. At best, this adds up to more expensive electrical bills for you. At worst, it’s dangerous and can risk safety for you and your family. Both options are, of course, undesirable. Here at A-1 Concrete Leveling and Foundation Repair, our concrete contractors will work hard to raise the pad to its correct location and prevent future deterioration.
The Solution? Concrete Floor Leveling
Our concrete contractors will first get you started with a free quote so you know exactly what to expect, estimated costs, and estimated completion times. Then, instead of replacing the HVAC unit pad — which is time-consuming and expensive — our concrete contractors will do concrete lifting, also known at times as concrete raising or concrete floor leveling.
- We’ll drill small holes into the pad and inject a solution beneath the base
- This will quickly level the pad
- Most of the time, we can complete this in only one day
- We can do this without relocating your HVAC unit
Concrete floor leveling works for a variety of applications, but one lesser known one is for utility pads! Don’t add strain to the components or risk safety — let our concrete contractors help.
