We start by understanding your package unit’s current performance and any comfort issues you’re experiencing. Our technician inspects the rooftop or ground-level unit, checking for obvious signs of wear, damage, or maintenance needs. We examine the unit’s mounting, electrical connections, ductwork connections, and overall condition to get a complete picture of your system’s health.
Package units face unique challenges from weather exposure and integrated heating-cooling operation. We look for common issues like refrigerant leaks, clogged coils, electrical component wear, and ductwork problems that can affect both heating and cooling performance. This initial assessment helps us understand what your system needs most.
- Inspect the package unit cabinet for weather damage, corrosion, or structural issues
- Check electrical connections, controls, and safety devices for proper operation
- Examine ductwork connections and look for air leaks that waste energy
- Test thermostat operation and verify it’s communicating with the package unit
- Review your comfort complaints and identify any problem areas in your home
- Assess the unit’s age, maintenance history, and overall condition
- Document any immediate safety concerns or urgent repair needs
