During my inspection today, the customer greeted me at the front door. They allowed me to come inside and they showed me around to all the equipment. They showed me the air filter(s). It was a 12 x 20. They then showed me the thermostat. It was a Honeywell Nonprogrammable. They then showed me the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. I got started by turning the system off at the thermostat and made my way to the air handler. I inspected multiple different components on the system, including the blower wheel/motor, evaporator coil, drain line, ductwork, electrical connections/components, etc. I checked all of these components for proper operation and cleanliness. As well as to make sure that nothing was damaged. I made my way to the outdoor unit. On the outdoor unit I inspected multiple different components as well, including electrical connections/components, Condenser fan motor, Compressor, Motor amp draws, Refrigerant pressures(good), And the outdoor unit coil(clean).
