| Below is a list of
items covered in our semi-annual Energy Service Agreement program. |
|
|
| 1. CONDENSER COIL fins
will be straightened and cleaned as required. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Dirty condensor coils raise refrigerant pressure higher than needed,
increasing your electric bill and decreasing compressor life. |
| 2. EVAPORATOR COIL will be
inspected and cleaned as required. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Evaporator coils become dirty because air filters only collect a portion of
the particles in the air. Even a small amount of dirt can decrease efficiency
and increase operating costs. This is also a major cause of compressor
failure. Customer should replace properly sized air filter each month or
highly consider electronic air filters, or high efficiency pleated filters. |
| 3. BLOWER WHEELS will be
inspected. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Dirty blower wheels reduce air flow, causing longer operating time and
increased cost. This problem can lead to lost comfort and compressor failure. |
| 4. REFRIGERANT CHARGE
checked by superheat/subcooling method. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- A low or high refrigerant charge can easily go unnoticed and increase
operating costs. An improper charge can cause compressor shut down. |
| 5. AIR FILTER will be
replaced/washed with customer provided |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- A restricted air filter can cause your air conditioning unit to waste
energy and shorten the compressor's life. |
| 6. BELTS AND PULLEYS will
be inspected and adjusted as required. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Loose belts and worn pulleys decrease air flow, increase operating costs
and shorten the compressor's life. Belts crack and break with age. |
| 7. LUBRICATION of motors
and bearings. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Improper lubricated rotating equipment will eventually fail. |
| 8. THERMOSTAT will be
checked and calibrated as required. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Improperly calibrated thermostats allow the unit to run longer than
necessary. Every degree your air conditioning operates below 78 degrees can
add 5 to 8% to the cost of cooling. |
| 9. CONTROLS AND SAFETIES
will be inspected and tested |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Controls and safeties that do not function properly can increase operation
cost and cause other components to fail. |
| 10. MOTORS will be cleaned
and inspected. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Dirty motors are less efficient and will fail sooner. |
| 11. CAPACITORS will be
tested. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Bad capacitors can lead to compressor and motor failure. |
| 12. CONDENSATE DRAINS will
be cleaned and algae tabs added. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Algae can plug a condensate drain which can cause expensive water
damage. |
| 13. CRANKCASE HEATER will
be operationally checked. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Crankcase heaters that do not work can lead to compressor failure. |
| 14. RELAYS AND CONTACTORS
will be inspected. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Worn contacts and loose wire connections can lead to a motor or compressor
failure. |
| 15. UNIT DISCONNECT will be
inspected. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- A worn or overheated disconnect blows fuses and is dangerous. |
| 16. UNIT WIRING will be
inspected and loose connections tightened. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Loose connections can lead to a motor or compressor failure. |
| 17. TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES will be taken and recorded. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- An accurate record of your equipment's vital data can indicate potential
problems, which can be eliminated. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| HEAT
PUMPS WILL RECEIVE ALL OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SERVICES (1-17) PLUS: |
|
| 18. DEFROST TIMER will be
checked |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- A defrost timer that is not working properly can cause a loss of heat and
can shorten the compressor's life. |
| 19. REVERSING VALVE will be
operationally checked. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- A reversing valve that is not operating properly can waste energy and cause
a loss of heat. |
| 20. AUXILIARY HEAT STRIPS
will be checked. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Heat strips that are not operating properly can cause a loss of heat or
increase electric costs higher than necessary |
|
|
|
|
|
| 1. HEAT EXCHANGER will be
cleaned and inspected for cracks and deterioration. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Heat exchangers can develop cracks with age. If they exist, there is a risk
of serious illness from the toxic fumes emitted. |
| 2. AIR FILTER will be
replaced/washed with customer provided |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- A restricted air filter can cause your air conditioning unit to waste
energy and shorten the compressor's life. |
| 3. BURNERS will be cleaned
in place. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Dirty burners can cause poor combustion. You pay for useful heat that 'goes
up the stack!' |
| 4. THERMOCOUPLE will be
checked. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- A defective thermocouple will cause the furnace to shut down leaving you
without heat. |
| 5. FAN SWITCH will be
checked and adjusted as needed |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- A fan switch that is not properly adjusted can waste energy or cause
nuissance fan cycling. |
| 6. PILOT will be cleaned
and adjusted as necessary. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Weak or dirty pilots can easily be extinquished causing the furnace to shut
down. |
| 7. SAFETY CONTROLS will be
operationally checked. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Safety controls that do not operate can cause dangerous problems. |
| 8. GAS LINE will be leak
checked from the furnace shut off valve to the burners. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Undetected gas leaks are dangerous. |
| 9. COMBUSTION AIR openings
will be checked. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Blocked or restricted combustion air openings can be dangerous. |
| 10. FLUE PIPE will be
inspected. |
|
VALUE TO YOU -
Flue pipe corrosion or leaks are dangerous. |
| 11. SECURE ALL PANELS |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Loose panels can increase operating costs and cause a dangerous condition. |
| 12. THERMOSTAT will be
checked and calibrated as required. |
|
VALUE TO YOU
- Defective or improperly calibrated thermostats affect comfort and operating
costs. |
| 13. TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES will be checked and recorded. |
|
