Air Conditioning Maintenance in Palm Beach County, FL

1. 1

   Condensate drain line clear, flush & treat

   We clear and flush the drain line and treat it to slow the algae and sludge that cause clogs and overflows.

2. 2

   Condensate drain pan inspection

   We check the pan for rust, cracks and standing water before a slow leak reaches a ceiling or closet floor.

3. 3

   Float / safety switch test

   We test the safety switch that shuts the system off when water backs up, so a clog doesn't turn into water damage.

4. 4

   Capacitor test (microfarad reading)

   We measure each capacitor against its rating. A weak capacitor is a common reason an AC quits on a hot afternoon.

5. 5

   Contactor inspection & testing

   We check the contactor for pitted or burned contacts that can keep the outdoor unit from starting or shutting off.

6. 6

   Relay and control board check

   We look over the relays and control board for heat damage, loose wiring and stored fault codes.

7. 7

   Tighten all electrical connections

   Heat and vibration loosen connections over time. Tight connections run cooler and protect the parts they feed.

8. 8

   Compressor & motor amp-draw check

   We compare running amps with the nameplate ratings to spot a compressor or motor that is starting to struggle.

9. 9

   Refrigerant pressure check

   We read the system pressures to confirm the charge looks right and to catch the signs of a leak early.

10. 10

    Temperature-split (Delta-T) measurement

    We measure the temperature drop across the indoor coil to confirm the system is cooling the way it should.

11. 11

    Evaporator coil inspection

    We inspect the indoor coil for dirt buildup and corrosion that choke airflow and cut cooling.

12. 12

    Condenser coil inspection & rinse

    We inspect and rinse the outdoor coil to clear dirt, debris and salt so the unit can get rid of heat.

13. 13

    Blower motor & wheel inspection

    We check the indoor blower motor and wheel for dirt and wear, since every room's airflow starts there.

14. 14

    Condenser fan motor & blade check

    We check the outdoor fan motor and blade for wear, noise and damage that make the unit work harder.

15. 15

    Thermostat test & calibration

    We confirm the thermostat reads the room accurately and turns the system on and off when it should.

16. 16

    Air filter condition check

    We check the filter and tell you when it's time for a new one. Filters are billed separately.

17. 17

    Airflow check at supply registers

    We check airflow at the supply registers to catch weak rooms and restrictions before they become comfort problems.

18. 18

    Reversing valve check (heat pump)

    On heat pumps, we confirm the reversing valve shifts cleanly between cooling and heating.

19. 19

    Defrost cycle check (heat pump)

    On heat pumps, we confirm the defrost cycle works so the outdoor coil can't ice up in heating mode.

20. 20

    Compressor start-up & operation test

    We watch the compressor start and run to make sure it comes on smoothly and runs without strain.

21. 21

    Full system safety & operation report

    You get a report on your system's safety and condition, with any recommended repairs priced before work begins.

Bronze includes two of these inspections a year and Gold includes four. Platinum includes two seasonal inspections plus monthly service visits with drain treatment in between.
