Replace air filter provided by customer
Value to You: A restricted air filter wastes energy and shortens system life.
-
Check and calibrate thermostat as required
Value to You: Improperly calibrated thermostats can lead to longer run times and increased cooling costs.
-
Inspect controls and safeties
Value to You: Malfunctioning controls and safeties can increase operation costs and cause system failure.
-
Inspect motors
Value to You: Dirty motors use more energy and may fail sooner.
-
Check capacitors
Value to You: Bad capacitors can cause compressor and motor failure.
-
Check condensate drain
Value to You: Algae in the condensate drain can lead to expensive water damage.
-
Check crankcase heater operation
Value to You: An inoperative crankcase heater can cause compressor failure.
-
Inspect relays and contactors
Value to You: Worn contacts and loose wire connections can lead to motor or compressor failure.
-
Inspect unit disconnect
Value to You: Worn or overheated disconnects can cause fuses to blow and circuit breakers to trip.
-
Tighten unit wiring connections as required
Value to You: Loose connections can lead to motor failure, compressor failure, or fire.
-
Take and record temperatures and pressures
Value to You: Accurate records of vital data can indicate potential problems.
-
Check ductwork for leaks and proper insulation as required
Value to You: Unrepaired ductwork problems can increase operating costs by 30% or more.
