Check and clean condenser coil.
Foreign material on the condenser coil reduces the system's capacity to remove heat from the house, so your air conditioning system must run longer, increasing energy consumption.
Check voltage and amperage on motors.
Improper voltage and amperage can reduce the life of the compressor, evaporator, and condenser motors.
Check and adjust blower components.
Proper adjustment and cleanliness of blower and components are necessary for adequate airflow to assure proper capacity of the equipment and its reliability.
Check starting capabilities.
Assures system will start and operate when needed.
Check condensate drain. Clean if necessary.
A clogged condensate drain can create considerable water damage, as well as affect indoor humidity levels.
Check operating pressures for proper refrigerant charge.
Improper refrigerant charges could cause damage to the compressor and result in high electric bills.
Check air filters.
A dirty air filter can substantially reduce the airflow over the evaporator coil, resulting in inadequate cooling of your home. A dirty filter could cause high energy usage and compressor damage.
Check thermostat calibration.
An improperly calibrated thermostat will call for more or less cooling than desired. The former will cost you money; the latter will cost you comfort.
Lubricate all moving parts where necessary.
Poor lubrication causes drag on the motor and drive shaft, thereby requiring more electricity to overcome resistance. Lack of lubrication can ruin the bearings and burn out a motor.
Check safety controls where applicable.
Essential for proper protection of the unit.
Check for correct airflow.
One way to assure maximum efficiency of your cooling unit.
Check all electrical connections.
Resistance caused by loose connections will create excessive heat and send the improper voltage to components, making them inoperative or potentially likely to fail.
