What should you expect your Cold Plus, LLC technician to do during a PM visit?
-
Check system functions, safety controls, and adjust the operating sequence where appropriate.
-
Inspect electrical components and connections and repair/replace or tighten as required.
-
Ensure proper airflow and change dirty air filters.
-
Inspect pumps, lubricate, and check flow rates where appropriate.
-
Clean and lubricate motors as required.
-
Examine belts, adjust and align as required.
-
Inspect, clean and balance blowers as required.
Spring Visit (preparation for summer season):
-
Clean inside coil, condensate pans, condensate traps, and condensate lines to prevent obstructions.
-
Clean outside coil and straighten fins for efficient operation.
-
Check refrigerant levels and if low, find the leak. (According to many equipment manufacturers, a 10% refrigerant loss will result in a 20% decrease in system efficiency!)
Fall Visit (preparation for winter season):
-
Clean the burner assembly.
-
Remove soot from fireside of burner.
-
Clean and check operation of humidifier.
-
Visually or with remote camera, inspect heat exchanger for cracks.
-
Adjust air/fuel ratio of burner and perform combustion analysis. (Instrumentation used for combustion analysis is a means of fine-tuning a burner to achieve maximum fuel efficiency and “optimum firing.”)
Note: For heat pump applications, winter season inspections repeat a number of the summer procedures plus several additional checks. Maintaining semi-annual PMAs for heatpumps is also important.
