Using it on the route
Record supply and return temperatures on every visit; over a few seasons they show which systems are slipping before the customer calls. If you mark a system unsafe, note what you shut off and what you told the customer.
Questions
- What should an HVAC maintenance checklist include?
- The system type, thermostat, filter, coils, condensate drain, electrical connections, refrigerant readings, supply and return temperatures, a carbon monoxide test on fuel-burning equipment, the system's condition and your recommendations.
- Can I change the checklist?
- Print it as is, or copy the items into your own form. In Routova you can edit the same checklist, and changes only apply to new visits: completed visits keep the version they were filled in on.
- Is it free?
- Yes. Print as many copies as you like. No sign-up needed.
