SERVICE: VALUE TO YOU:
Condenser Coil - Lines will be straightened and cleaned as required Dirty coils raise refrigerant pressure higher than needed, increasing your electrical bills
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 cost. This is also a major cause of compressor failure. Customers should replace properly sized air filters every month.

Blower Wheels - Will be inspected and cleaned as necessary.

Dirty blower wheels reduce air flow, causing longer operating time and increase cost. This problem can lead to lost comfort and compressor failure.

Refrigerant Charge - Checked by superheat / sub cooling method.

A low or high refrigerant charge can easily go unnoticed and increase operating costs. An improper change can cause compressor shut down.

Air Filter - Will be replace at customers option.

A restricted air filter can cause your air conditioning unit to waste energy and shortened 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 compressor life.

Lubrication - Of motors and bearings.

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 conditioning unit operates below 78 degrees can add 5 to 8% to the costs of cooling.

Controls and Safeties - Will be inspected and tested.

Controls and safeties that do not function properly can increase operating costs and cause other components to fail.

Motors - Will be cleaned and inspected.

Dirty motors are less efficient and will fail sooner.

Capacitors - Will be tested.

Bad capacitors can lead to compressor and motor failure.

Condensate Drain - Will be check to ensure it is open. Algae can plug a condensate drain which can cause expensive water damage.
Crankcase Heater - Will be operationally 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 motors or compressor failure.

Unit Disconnect - Will be inspected. A worn overheated disconnect blows fuses and is dangerous.
Unit Wiring - Will be inspected and loose connections tightened.

Loose connectors can lead to a motor or compressor failure.


















Poorly aligned pulleys cause pre-
mature belt and pulley failure.
