• Refrigerant Charge: High and low refrigerant does not get noticed soon and as a result operation costs increases by 30%. An improper charge will result in compressor shutdown.
• Safeties: If all the controls, as well as safeties of the AC, does not function in the proper manner, then operation cost will surely get increased and it will result in failure of other components of the AC.
• Contractor and Relays are cleaned and inspected. Loose wire connections may lead to compressor and motor failure.
• Crankcase Heater is operationally inspected.
• Temperature and pressures are taken and recorded.
• Capacitors are tested as the bad capacitors result in motor and compressor failure.
• The overheated disconnect can be dangerous. It will blow fuses.
• Worn pulleys and loose belts lead to a decrease in air flow and an increase in operating costs. All these things will shorten the life of the compressor.
• The restricted air filter will result in wasted energy and will shorten the life of the compressor.
• The improperly calibrated thermostat will cause the unit to run for a longer time.
