2. System Diagnosis
• Visual Inspection: The technician will conduct a thorough visual inspection of the AC unit, both inside and outside, to identify any obvious issues such as leaks, loose wires, or visible damage.
• Testing Electrical Components: The technician will test electrical connections, capacitors, relays, and the thermostat to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
• Checking Refrigerant Levels: The refrigerant levels will be measured to determine if there’s a leak or if the system is undercharged, which can affect cooling efficiency.
• Airflow and Filter Inspection: The technician will check for blockages in the air filters, ducts, or coils that might restrict airflow.
• Compressor and Motor Check: The technician will assess the condition of the compressor, motors, and fans, which are crucial components for cooling.

4. Performing the Repair
• Approval: Once you agree on the repair plan, the technician will proceed with the work. Common repairs include fixing refrigerant leaks, replacing capacitors, repairing or replacing fan motors, or unclogging drainage lines.
• Replacement Parts: If parts need to be replaced, the technician will either have them on hand or will arrange to order them. In some cases, a follow-up visit may be required if parts are not immediately available.
• System Testing: After the repair is completed, the technician will test the system to ensure it’s working properly. They’ll check that the AC is cooling effectively, that there are no unusual noises, and that all components are functioning as they should.
