Maintenance for home air conditioners and heat pumps

A/C or Heat Pump Tune Up and Inspection Procedures

• Chemically clean and thoroughly wash condenser coils
• Thoroughly clean and/or replace pleated air filter
• Wash and level condensing unit for proper motor and bearing wear
• Lubricate motor and fan bearings as well as other moving parts as necessary
• Clean and inspect evaporator coil and drain pain when readily accessible (additional labor charges may apply for difficult cleaning of evaporator coil)
• Clean and inspect condensation drain lines and fittings
• Clean, level and calibrate thermostat
• Adjust and thoroughly clean blower motor and fan assembly as needed
• Inspect, tighten and test all electrical connections, including disconnect switch
• Inspect all cooling system electrical wires, connectors and terminals
• Test all controls, switches, relays, transformers, contractors, motors and fans
• Measure starting and running amperes, line voltage, and control voltage
• Test system starting capabilities
• Test system for proper air flow and air delivery
• Inspect and adjust all safety controls
• Monitor refrigerant (Freon) pressures and temperatures
• Add up to 1 pound of Freon at no charge
• Test and record superheat and sub cooling. Compare with factory settings.
• Adjust freon metering control device per factor or manufacturers recommendations
• Test and measure air conditioning system for proper production and capacity
• Monitor fan motors and compressor operating temperatures
• Check for code violations
• Check for outside obstructions or insect infestation
• Apply weather resistant protective coating to the outside unit or condenser
• Complete and present a full written report to customer

Furnace Tune Up and Inspection Procedures

• Check and tighten electrical connections, terminals and loose wires
• Remove, inspect, clean, and adjust main gas burners
• Remove, clean and adjust ignition pilot assembly
• Thoroughly brush, vacuum and clean heat exchangers and combustion chambers
• Examine heat exchanger for cracks, rusting or problem areas
• Vacuum out blower compartment, return, airdrop and surrounding area
• Inspect inside of ducts for debris
• Clean all return air grills throughout the home
• Examine flue assembly and test flue gas drafting mechanism
• Test and inspect furnace safety controls
• Test, record and adjust gas pressure as required
• Replace standard filters with special pleated filters (*extra charge for specialty filters)
• Remove and clean blower motor, drive mechanism and fan assembly
• Lubricate all fan motors and applicable moving parts
• Measure and adjust blower for correct airflow
• Inspect heat anticipator settings
• Monitor air and heat cycles
• Adjust all dampers and set proper blower speeds
• Clean, level, test and calibrate thermostat
• Measure and record heating system output
• Inspect and test thermocouple output as well as pilot safety switch
• Measure and record electrical voltage, amperage and component resistance
• Inspect and test all system transformers, relays, contractors and controls
• Repair minor leaks in plenum and return air drop (ask us about duct sealing!)
• Perform a thorough, room-by-room electronic carbon monoxide check of entire house
• Check for code violations
• Advise you about other ways to reduce energy consumption, improve safety and enhance comfort
