Pre-Service Prep
Follow These Steps Before Your Visit
The best way to keep your HVAC system operating the way it should is to contact your Champion® Contractor. Whether it's for regular maintenance or to check on an issue, a little preparation can make those service calls run more smoothly and more efficiently.
By following some simple steps, you can help your Champion® Contractor more quickly identify anything that needs to be addressed.
- Check the troubleshooting guide and write down the issues you're noticing.
- Take a look at your air filter. A dirty air filter can often cause a number of issues.
- Record the model numbers of all your Champion® products.
- Write down approximate dates that your issues started.
- Move anything that could be in the contractor's path to your HVAC equipment.
- If this is your Champion® Contractor's first visit, locate every Champion® HVAC unit so you can direct them.
- Tell your contractor about any smart home connected devices.
- Collect any notes you have from previous service visits/repairs completed.
- Secure pets in a different room to keep them safe.
- Make sure that an adult (18 or over) can be present to give your contractor access.
- Give your contractor your phone number so they can contact you to confirm the appointment.
- If you rent, get your landlord's permission to have your system serviced.
- If your heat pump or air conditioner is frozen, shut it off and let it thaw before the technician arrives.
