A/C Tune Up Checklist

Summer

• Annual or bi-annual

• Everyone should get a tune up before the summer (for optimal cooling) and in the winter (to inspect heat strips)

• We check operation of your thermostat

• We will check and replace air filters (if you provide your own filters or there is an additional filter fee)

• Check freon pressures

• Check supply/return air flow pressures

• Check contactor

• Check capacitor

• Check unit amperage (which helps see if your fan or compressor is failing)

• Check fan motor and gears, shaft is not loose

• Vacuum out condenser

• Hose off condenser coils, remove debris which causes moisture build up and rust

• Clean drain (condensation) line

• Put in air conditioner drain-pan maintenance algae tablets

• Check fan blowers

• Check indoor air handler (blower wheel and motor) check for mildew, dust, contaminants}

• Advise about U/V light to kill

• Check evaporator coil for debris (can clean for an additional charge)

• If there are high pressures, then we may recommend that evaporator coil be cleaned (additional fee)

 

Winter

• We check everything from the summer tune up, PLUS we check heating strip components
