Air
Conditioning Clean and Check
- 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 an amperage can
reduce significantly the life of the compressor, evaporator and
the condenser motor.
- Check and adjust blower
components
Proper adjustment, cleanliness of
blower and components are necessary for adequate air flow to
assure proper capacity and equipment reliability.
- Check condensate drain
(clean if necessary)
A clogged drain can create
considerable water damage, as well as affect indoor humidity
levels.
- Check operating pressures
for proper refrigerant charge
Improper refrigerant charges
either too much or too little could damage the compressor and
could cause high electric bills through a curtailment of system
efficiency.
A dirty filter can substantially
reduce the air flow 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 more money, the latter will
cost you comfort.
- Lubricate all moving parts
where necessary
Poor lubrication causes drag in
the motor and drive shaft, thereby requiring more electricity to
overcome resistance. The lack of lubrication can ruin
bearings and burn out a motor.
- Check safety controls where
applicable
This is very essential for the
proper protection of the unit!
- Check for correct air flow
One way to assure maximum
efficiency of your cooling unit.
- Check all electrical
connections
Resistance caused by loose
connections will create excessive heat at the point, causing
damage to the unit. Loose connections cause improper
voltage to various components, making them either inoperative or
causing eventual failure.
- Check starting capacities
Assure that your system will
start and operate when needed.
For Air
Conditioning Units ~
-
The temperature must
be at least 68 to 70 degrees in order to clean and check
-
No Rain!!!
-
Any refrigerant (Freon)
is an extra charge, depending on how much is needed.
