In order to properly, efficiently and safely perform service and repair on heating and air conditioning systems there are several basic rules that should be examined and followed by the service technician: (1) know the system, (2) determine what is or what is not happening in the system, (3) follow an intelligent, logical process of elimination, (4) make the repair, and (5) attempt to determine the cause of the failure. Knowing the system starts with education and training. The service technician must know the system, how it works, what component parts comprise the system, what their function is, how they work, their relationship with other components of the system and the effect on the system should any one component fail. These and other features of a troubleshooting system are discussed.
