Heating & AC Maintenance Checklist

  • Inspect All Filters: This includes media and whole-home air filters to ensure indoor air quality.

  • Inspect the Blower Wheel: Check for cleanliness and proper function.

  • Inspect and Test the Condensate Drain Line: Ensure it is clear and functioning correctly.

  • Inspect the Outdoor (Condenser) Coil: Check if accessible for cleanliness and condition.

  • Visually Check for Refrigerant Leaks: Look for signs of leakage in the system.

  • Check and Clean Thermostat: Test its operation for accurate temperature control.

  • Check Metering Device: Assess if accessible for proper function.

  • Measure Return Air Temperature: Ensure correct air temperature is being returned to the system.

  • Measure Supply Air Temperature: Confirm the temperature of the air being supplied.

  • Measure Wet Tub Temperature (if applicable): Check temperature for any wet or cooling tubes.

  • Check Temperature Drop(s): Evaluate the difference between return and supply air temperatures.

  • Check Disconnect Box and Wire Sizes: Tighten any loose connections and ensure proper wire sizing.

  • Check Operation of Service Valves: Ensure all service valves are functioning properly.

  • Test and Measure Capacitor Voltage and Start Component: Verify proper voltage and component operation.

  • Test the Amperage of Your Compressor: Measure the compressor’s amperage for correct operation.

  • Check Contactor and Relays: Inspect for proper operation and any signs of wear.

  • Check Compressor and Fan Motor Current: Measure current draw to ensure efficient operation.

  • Measure Suction Line Temperature: Ensure proper temperature for the suction line.

  • Measure Suction Pressure: Verify the pressure in the suction line.

  • Measure Superheat/Subcool: Check superheat and subcool measurements for proper refrigerant levels.

  • Measure the Air Entering the Outdoor Coil: Ensure correct air temperature entering the coil.

  • Measure Discharge Temperature: Check the temperature of the air coming out of the discharge.

  • Measure Discharge Pressure: Verify the pressure at the discharge line.

  • Check Refrigerant Charge: Ensure the system has the correct amount of refrigerant.

  • Evaluate Equipment Condition and Efficiency: Assess the overall condition and efficiency of the equipment.

  • Visually Inspect Insulation: Check for proper insulation levels and conditioning.

  • Visually Inspect Air Ducts: Look for correct sizing and any signs of leakage.

  • Water Wash Condensing Coil: Clean the condenser coil.

Cleaning your condenser coil will extend the life of your unit. A dirty condenser coil will cause high head pressure which then causes unnecessary added stress and makes your entire system work harder than it needs to. This causes the system to over-amp and uses more electricity than it was designed to and this result if high electricity bills and premature part failures.
