Air-Conditioning Tune-Up Procedures Includes, As Needed:
- CONDENSER COIL fins will be cleaned as
required. Dirty condenser coils raise refrigerant pressure higher
than needed, increasing your electric bill.
- EVAPORATOR COIL will be inspected and
cleaned as required. Evaporator coils become dirty because air
filters only collect a portion of the particles in the air. Even a small amount of
dirt can decrease efficiency and increase operating costs. This is also a major
cause of compressor failure. Customers should preplace properly sized air filter
every month.
- BLOWER WHEELS will be inspected and
cleaned as necessary. Dirty blower wheels reduce air flow, causing
longer operating time and increased cost. This problem can lead to lost comfort and
compressor failure.
- REFRIGERANT CHARGE is checked by super
- heat / subcooling method. A low or high refrigerant charge can
easily go unnoticed and increase operating costs. An improper charge can cause
compressor shut down.
- AIR FILTER will be checked and replaced
at customer's option. A restricted air filter can cause your air
conditioning unit to waste energy and shorten the compressor's life.
- BELTS AND PULLEYS will be inspected and
adjusted as required. Loose belts and worn pulleys decrease air
flow, increase operating costs and shorten the compressor's life. Belts crack and
break with age.
- LUBRICATION of motors and bearings as
required. Improperly lubricated rotating equipment will eventually fail.
- THERMOSTAT will be checked and
calibrated as required. Improperly calibrated thermostats allow the
unit to run longer than necessary. Every degree your air conditioner operates below
78 degrees can add 5 to 8% to the cost of cooling.
- CONTROLS AND SAFETIES will be inspected
and tested. Controls and safeties which do not function properly can
increase operation cost and cause other components to fail.
- MOTORS will be cleaned and inspected.
Dirty motors are less efficient and will fail sooner.
- CONDENSATE DRAIN will be checked to
assure it is open. Algae can plug a condensate drain which can cause
expensive water damage.
- CRANKCASE HEATER will be checked.
Crankcase heaters that do not work can lead to a compressor failure.
- RELAYS AND CONTACTORS will be
inspected. Worn contacts and loose wire connections can lead to a
motor or compressor failure.
- UNIT DISCONNECT will be inspected.
A worn or over heated disconnect blows fuses and is dangerous.
- UNIT WIRING will be inspected and loose
connections tightened. Loose connections can lead to a motor or
compressor failure.
- TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES will be
taken and recorded. An accurate record of your equipment's vital
data can indicate potential problems which can be eliminated. A record will be kept
with the unit which may reduce emergency service time.
- DUCT WORK will be checked for leaks and
proper insulation. Upon initial inspection, at customers request.
Duct leaks may exist from the time it was installed and insulation can fall off.
Unrepaired duct work problems can increase operating costs by 30% or more.
Accessible duct work will be inspected at least once during the first year of the
Agreement.

Precision
Tune-Up Procedures For Heat Pumps Include All Of The Above PLUS:
- DEFROST TIMER will be checked.
A defrost timer that is not working properly can cause a loss of heat and can
shorten the compressor's life.
- REVERSING VALVE will be operationally
checked. A reversing valve that is not operating properly can waste
energy and cause a loss of heat.
- AUXILIARY HEAT STRIPS will be checked.
Heat strips that are not operating properly can cause a loss of heat or increase
electric cost higher than necessary.
