3. EVAPORATOR COIL
4. HEATER/FURNACE
5. SUPPLY REGISTER AND RETURN AIR GRILLS
6. ATTIC INSULATION & VENTILATION
Also ask for a Mechanical inspection of your system, including but not limited to:
ü CHECK REFRIGERANT LEVELS TO MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS USING SUPERHEAT
OR SUB-COOLING
ü CHECK AMPERAGE DRAW PER UNIT DATA PLATE FOR COMPRESSOR
ü CHECK AMPERAGE DRAW PER UNIT DATA PLATE FOR CONDENSER FAN MOTOR
ü CHECK AMPERAGE DRAW PER UNIT DATA PLATE FOR INDOOR BLOWER MOTOR
ü CHECK AND CLEAR DRAIN LINES
ü CHECK ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ü CHECK AND FUNCTION ALL CONTROLS AND SAFETIES
ü CHECK CONDITION OF HEAT EXCHANGER

ü VISUALLY INSPECT ALL VISIBLE AND ACCESSIBLE SUPPLY DUCTWORK
ü VISUALLY INSPECT RETURN AIR DUCTWORK AND CHASE
Finally,
? CHECK SUPPLY DUCTWORK FOR AIR LEAKS
? CHECK TOTAL SYSTEM STATIC PRESSURE
? CHECK FOR LEAKAGE AROUND ALL ACCESSIBLE SUPPLY REGISTERS
? DETERMINE SYSTEMS FUNCTIONING AIR FLOW CAPACITY
? DETERMINE SYSTEMS FUNCTIONING BTU CAPACITY
? DETERMINE SYSTEMS FUNCTIONING EFFICIENCY RATING
Get a written evaluation of your system. Get a written proposal of any suggested work to be done and always get a second opinion.
