Air Conditioning
Maintenance & Safety Check:
- Inspect and replace air filters if needed and available
- Measure and record condenser AMP draw for efficiency.
- Verify thermostat functionality and settings.
- Check the fan blades for any damage or imbalance.
- Ensure proper drainage of condensate lines (flush lines).
- Tighten and secure all wiring connections.
- Examine 240V wiring to the outdoor unit.
- Inspect the blower wheel for excessive dust buildup (clean if necessary)
- Clean the evaporator coil (if accessible).
- Test and document the temperature at the coil.
- Access the outdoor coil for cleanliness and functionality.
- Clean the condenser coils.
- Inspect the 24V wiring leading to the exterior wall.
- Inspect and tighten the unit grounding for safety.
- Inspect all 240V electrical connections.
- Check the high-voltage disconnect for secure connections.
- Check wall penetration for properly sealed
- Visually inspect the contactor for signs of wear, burn marks, or pitting (clean the contactor)
- Examine the fan motor for signs of damage or wear
- Test the capacitor and inspect for any signs of failure
Heating
Maintenance & Safety Check:
- Inspect and adjust the thermostat setting for accuracy.
- Verify venting for any rust or corrosion
- Examine burners for rust and ensure proper operation.
- Inspect low and high-voltage wiring for any damage and blockage.
- Test the pressure switch and inspect the tubes for damage and blockage.
- Test gas valve operation, check for leaks, and inspect for signs of corrosion.
- Measure temperature rise across the heat exchanger.
- Measure AMP draw for both the inducer motor and blower motor.
- Verify proper drainage of condensate lines (if applicable).
- Monitor the carbon monoxide levels in the exhaust flue.
- Replace or clean the air filter (if applicable).
- Inspect for rust, cracks, or holes in the heat exchanger.
- Evaluate the burner setup for optimal performance.
- Test the ignition system to confirm the correct functionality.
- Observe the unit’s starting sequence for proper function.
- Check for carbon monoxide presence in the supply air.
- Access control wiring and tighten all loose connections.
- Inspect the blower assembly for dust buildup and vibrations.
- Check the hot surface ignitor or spark igniter for reliability operation (including the flame sensor/thermocouple).
- Examine gas lines for; gas leaks, rust, corrosion, and proper support.
