Furnace Maintenance & Inspection
Visual inspection for obvious problems, e.g.
- Benting
that is rotting away
- Water or gas leaks
- Equipment is un-level
- Incorrect installation
Blower Vestibule
- Cleanliness of blower and vestibule
- Condition of filter
- Wheel
balance
- Motor bearings
Combustion
Vestibule
- Cleanliness of burners and vestibule
- Inspect burners
and orifices
- Pilot assembly, thermocouple, spark igniter, hot surface igniter
- Combustion blower, air safety switches, roll out switches
- Mollenex connectors, wire
connections, spade connectors
Cycling of Unit & Testing
- Measure amperage of all motors and hot surface ignition
- Pressure switch measurements
of heat exchanger
- Draft readings of venting
- Combustion testing
to determine: efficiency, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, oxygen, stack temperature, ambient temperature
- Temperature rise across the heat exchanger
- Duct static readings when required
For Hot Water Boilers Add:
- Water fill valve
- Expansion tank
- Auto air vents
- Air cusion tank
- Back check valve
- Purge valves
- Circulators
- Zone
valves
- Pump relays
- Aquastat relay
- Low water cut off
- Flue damper
Air Conditioning Maintenance & Inspection
Indoor Equipment
- Air handler blower, blower motor,
blower wheel, filter
- Condensate drain
- Refrigerant
line insulation
- Temperature ris measurements
- Humidifier bypass damper
Outdoor Equipment
- Visual inspection for level and raised above the ground
- Cleanliness
of the condenser coil and flush
- Electrical compartment cleanliness, controls,
capacitor, contactor, connections, spade connectors
- Refrigerant temperatures
and pressures to determine correct charge
- Condenser delta-t to determine if coil
is clear
