20 point A/C Tune Up
- CHECK THERMOSTAT OPERATIONS (A properly regulated thermostat reduces your energy bills and increases comfort).
- CLEAN OR REPLACE AIR FILTER (Dirty air filters can increase energy bills and cause expensive equipment breakdowns.
- CHECK AND ADJUST AIRFLOW (Having the proper air going across the evaporator coil is key to getting the best comfort and dehumidification).
- CHECK REFRIGERANT CHARGE (Improper refrigerant charges reduce energy efficiency, cooling capacity and shortens equipment life).
- CHECK TEMPERATURE DROP ACROSS EVAPORATOR COIL (A proper temperature drop of fourteen – twenty degrees is critical to staying cool and comfortable).
- CHECK AND CLEAN CONDENSER COIL (A clean coil reduces operating pressures which extend equipment life and increase energy efficiency).
- CHECK AND TIGHTEN ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (Burned or Loose wires can cause costly system breakdowns).
- CHECK VOLT AND AMP DRAW ON MOTORS (This check can find problems inside the windings on the motor or a weak capacitor, giving us a chance to replace the motor or the part before it becomes an emergency call).
- LUBRICATE ALL MOVING PARTS (Poor lubrication causes drag on motors and drive shaft, thereby increasing energy consumption and causing premature motor failure).
- CHECK AND CLEAN CONDENSATE DRAIN (A clogged condensate drain can create considerable water damage).
- CHECK START AND RUN CAPACITORS (Capacitors are critical to your system’s performance).
- VISUALLY INSPECT SYSTEM FOR MINOR REFRIGERANT LEAKS (Refrigerant leaks cause loss of efficiency, cooling capacity and shorten equipment life).
- CHECK TIME DELAY RELAY (if equipped) extends life of compressor.
- CHECK Contactor (The contactor should mechanically open and close smoothly without any chattering).
- CHECK MAIN ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE COMING TO THE EQUIPMENT (This check can protect against overheating of condenser components).
- CHECK COMPONENT TERMINALS (Good power connections at the compressor and motor terminals reduce costly breakdowns).
- CHECK DISCONNECT BOX AND FUSES (Your power disconnect should be clean and dry and show no signs of deterioration and corrosion).
- CHECK AIR CONDITIONING INSTALLATION (A properly designed and installed system provides optimum cooling capacity and reduces energy consumption).
- INSPECT EVAPORATOR COIL ((WHEN ACCESSIBLE) a clean evaporator coil increases cooling capacity).
- TEST EQUIPMENT OPERATION (When we are complete with your tune-up we will test cycle your system to assure proper operation).
