Feel more confident in understanding how your home AC works and learn how to identify and fix issues on your own.
This class is for every homeowner who would like to have a better working understanding of their home AC unit and learn basic troubleshooting and maintenance skills. Learn the steps you can take before you call a company to solve simple issues. We will be working on a demonstration condensing unit and evaporator.
Skills we'll learn in the class together: How does your refrigeration system work? Major components. How to use an electrical meter to look for problems. How to change out the most common components. Summer maintenance items. How to spot an issue that will need a professional. When to change your system.
Participants are welcome to bring pictures and model/serial numbers of their current home systems. You are also welcome to bring your own electrical meter. Fluke is the industry standard but Klein are a good choice for homeowners.
