Air Conditioning
An air conditioner is able to cool a building
because it removes heat from the indoor air
and transfers it outdoors. A chemical
refrigerant in the system absorbs the
unwanted heat and pumps it through a
system of piping to the outside coil. The
fan, located in the outside unit, blows
outside air over the hot coil, transferring
heat from the refrigerant to the outdoor air.

Conditioning
- Pressure check
- Visual inspection of wiring for loose or corroded connections
- Visual inspection for presence of oil which may indicate the need for repairs (*caution)
- Oil motor bearings
- Tightening all hardware
- Current draw, excessive amperage is damaging to the compressor.
- Visual inspection of condenser coils for damage and restrictions
Duct System
The entire duct system should be checked at least once a year for leaks
and damage. If you are pulling in attic air, the cooling efficiency will be lost and the evaporator coils will become dirty.

Air Handler/ Evaporator
- Visual inspection of wiring for loose or corroded connections (minor repairs should be included at no extra cost)
- Oil motor bearings
- Clean or replace filter
- Tightening all hardware
- Condensation drain, pan, pump, auxiliary pan.
- Evaporator coils need to be free of damage and clean (*Caution)
Over All
Make sure you are getting what you're paying for. A good company
will not do you wrong. Be careful, and be aware of what the technician
is doing. Always get a second opinion if repairs will cost more than
$150 especially if it is working. And always have it justified and explained.
