- Check cooling performance, temperature drop and determine if adjustments are needed … A low or high refrigerant
charge can easily go unnoticed and increase operating costs An improper charge can cause compressor damage - Clean outdoor condenser, remove debris from unit and water clean condenser coil … Dirty condenser coils raise
refrigerant pressure higher than needed, increasing your electrical bill by adding run time. - Inspect condenser fan motor operation and lubricate as necessary … Dirty motors are less efficient and will fail
sooner. - Check amperage of compressor for proper operation … Temperatures and pressures will be recorded
- Test and inspect compressor contactor … Worn contacts and loose wire connections can lead to motor or compressor
failure. - Inspect start/run capacitors and relays … Weak/bad capacitors can lead to motor failure
- Inspect for refrigerant leaks … Additional refrigerant should never need to be added to your system, this can
indicate a larger problem. A leak search will be performed if system is low - Inspect indoor evaporator coil … An inspection can show potential problems such as. mold, mildew. dirt. This will
cause higher electric usage and poor air quality. - Flush condensate drain to protect against overflow and treat with algaecide tablets .. Algae can block a condensate
drain which can cause expensive water damage - Inspect blower assembly operation and lubricate as needed … Dirty blower wheels can cause vibration and will reduce
air volume causing longer operating time and increased cost. - Inspect air filters and other indoor air quality accessories … Dirty air filters can cause your unit to waste energy
and can shorten the compressors life - Test controls for proper operation … Improper functioning controls will cause breakdowns
- Calibrate thermostat and confirm proper operation
- Evaluate overall efficiency and performance of system and inform customer of conditions and/or recommendations
- Your service representative will present a comprehensive tune-up form upon completion of tune-up and share any
concerns or recommendations about your system. A service plan can help ensure you receive regular tune-ups, provide
