Precision Maintenance Checklist

Our comprehensive inspection is designed to mirror the care of a luxury vehicle, ensuring every component of your climate control system is operating at peak efficiency.

The Berkun Difference

A Maintenance Visit is Not a Sales Call.

Many companies use maintenance visits to find “problems” to sell you a new unit. At Berkun Air, our technicians don’t work on commission. Our checklist is designed to do one thing: Keep your current system running perfectly for as long as possible.

1. Electrical & Control Systems

  • Electrical Connections: Tighten all connections and measure voltage/current on motors to prevent electrical failure.
  • Control Sequence: Test the starting cycle and safety controls to ensure the system shuts down correctly if a fault occurs.

2. Mechanical & Cooling Performance

  • Refrigerant Levels: Check for proper “charge” levels; an improper level can reduce efficiency by 20% and damage the compressor.
  • Condenser Coil: Inspect and clean the outdoor coil to ensure maximum heat transfer.
  • Evaporator Coil: Monitor the indoor coil for cleanliness and optimal cooling capacity.
  • Compressor Operation: Measure the amp draw to ensure the “heart” of your system isn’t overworking.

3. Air Quality & Airflow

  • Filter Inspection: Replace or clean air filters to ensure pristine indoor air quality and prevent system strain.
  • Ductwork Audit: Visually inspect accessible ductwork for leaks or energy loss.

4. Drainage & Moisture Management

  • Condensate Line: Clear and flush the drain line to prevent water damage and overflows, a common Florida issue.
  • Drain Pan: Inspect for signs of corrosion or standing water that could lead to mold growth.

5. Lubrication & Wear

  • Moving Parts: Lubricate all motors and bearings to reduce friction and eliminate mechanical noise.
  • Belt Inspection: (If applicable) check for wear, cracks, or tension issues.
