Cooling System

Technician will record make, model and serial numbers
BENEFIT - An record of your equipment in our computer system will help us and help you if your cooling system fails.


CONDENSER COIL fins will be straightened and cleaned as required
BENEFIT - Dirty condenser coils raise refrigerant pressure higher than needed, increasing your electric bill.


EVAPORATOR COIL will be inspected for cleanliness
BENEFIT - Dirty evaporator coils can decrease efficiency and cause higher than normal utility costs. This is also a major cause of compressor failure.


MOTORS will be inspected and oiled
BENEFIT - Checking the amperage draw will detect worn out motors and prevent untimely shut down. Lubricated motors will last much longer.


BLOWER WHEEL will be inspected for cleanliness
BENEFIT - Dirty blower wheels reduce air flow, causing longer operating time and increase cost.


AIR FILTER will be replaced at customer’s option
BENEFIT - A dirty filter can cause an air conditioning unit to waste energy and shorten the compressor’s life.


CONTROLS & SAFETIES will be inspected and tested
BENEFIT - Controls and safeties that don’t function properly can increase operation cost.

THERMOSTAT will be checked and calibrated as required
BENEFIT - An improperly calibrated thermostat will cause the unit to run longer than necessary. Every degree your cooling system operates below 78 degrees can increase your monthly utility costs 5% to 8%.

REFRIGERANT CHARGE will be checked electronically
BENEFIT - A low or high refrigerant charge can easily go unnoticed and cause higher than normal utility costs and can cause compressor failure.

CAPACITORS will be tested
BENEFIT - Bad capacitors can lead to compressor and motor failure.

CONDENSATE DRAIN will be checked to assure it’s clear
BENEFIT - A plugged condensate drain can cause expensive water damage.

SERVICE VALVES will be tested for leaks and proper operation
BENEFIT - Refrigerant leaking from service valves can lead to compressor failure.

RELAYS AND CONTACTORS will be inspected
BENEFIT - Worn contacts and loose wire connections can lead to a motor or compressor failure.

UNIT DISCONNECT will be inspected
BENEFIT - A worn or over heated disconnect blows fuses and is dangerous.

UNIT WIRING will be inspected and loose connections tightened
BENEFIT- Loose connections can lead to a motor or compressor failure.

COMPRESSOR will be inspected for proper amperage, volt draw and wiring connections
BENEFIT- Low voltage and loose connections can lead to compressor failure.

TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES will be taken and recorded
BENEFIT - An accurate record of your equipment’s vital data can eliminate potential problems.

DUCT WORK will be checked for airflow problems and static pressure
BENEFIT - Duct work problems can increase operating costs by 30%.

Heating System

Technician will record make, model and serial numbers
BENEFIT - An record of your equipment in our computer system will help us and help you if your heating system fails.

GAS LINE in and around the furnace area will be soap tested for leaks
BENEFIT - Undetected gas leaks around the furnace can be dangerous.

GAS PRESSURE will be electronic tested to assure proper pressure
BENEFIT - Improper gas pressures can cause delayed ignition and is dangerous.

BURNERS will be cleaned
BENEFIT - Dirty burners can cause poor combustion and you end up paying for useful heat that “goes up the flue.”

PILOT will be cleaned and adjusted as necessary
BENEFIT - A weak or dirty pilot can easily be extinguished causing the furnace to shut down.

FLUE will be inspected
BENEFIT - Flue pipe corrosion or leaks are dangerous and can cause Carbon Monoxide poisoning.

CARBON MONOXIDE will be electronically tested
BENEFIT - Carbon Monoxide is a odorless, colorless gas that can be very dangerous and deadly.

FAN SWITCH will be checked and adjusted as needed
BENEFIT - A fan switch that is not properly adjusted can waste energy or cause nuisance fan cycling.

SAFETY CONTROLS will be operationally checked
BENEFIT - Safety controls that do not operate can cause dangerous problems and furnace shut down.

MOTORS will be inspected and oiled
BENEFIT - Checking the amperage draw will detect worn out motors and prevent untimely shut down. Lubricated motors will last much longer.

BLOWER WHEEL will be inspected for cleanliness
BENEFIT - Dirty blower wheels reduce air flow, causing longer operating time and increased costs.

AIR FILTER will be replaced at customer’s option
BENEFIT - Dirty air filters can increase operating costs and will be replaced at customer’s option.

THERMOSTAT will be checked and calibrated as required
BENEFIT - A defective or improperly calibrated thermostat will affect your comfort and increase operating costs.

THERMOCOUPLE AND FLAME SWITCH will be checked for proper drop out time
BENEFIT - A defective thermocouple and flame switch will cause the furnace to shut down.

SECURE ALL PANELS
BENEFIT- Loose panels can increase operating costs and cause a dangerous condition.

TEMPERATURES AND PERFORMANCE will be taken and recorded
BENEFIT - An accurate record of vital data can indicate potential problems which can be eliminated.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS will be inspected and loose connections tightened
BENEFIT - Loose connections will cause furnace shut down and can be dangerous.

COMBUSTION AIR openings will be checked
BENEFIT - Blocked or restricted combustion air openings for the furnace can be dangerous.

DUCT WORK will be checked for airflow problems and static pressure
BENEFIT - Duct work problems can increase operating costs by 30%
