Our HVAC make-ready checklist
- Replace the filter and record its size for that unit
- Test cooling and heating in both modes
- Measure the supply and return temperature split
- Flush the condensate drain and test the float switch
- Inspect the indoor coil and drain pan
- Check the outdoor unit: capacitor, contactor, coil, and fan
- Test the thermostat and replace batteries
- Clean or replace registers and grilles as needed
- Look over the air handler closet for leaks and damage
- Write up a pass/fail with photos and any repair quote

How we keep turns moving
- Batching. Send us the turn list and we'll schedule units by building to cut travel time.
- Not-to-exceed approvals. Small fixes found during the check (a capacitor, a drain line) get done on the spot within your limit.
- Clear escalation. When we find a bigger problem, you get the quote the same day we find it, with a repair-vs-replace recommendation.
- Status updates. You'll know which units passed, which ones failed, and why.
Who we work with
Third-party property management companies, owner-operators, single-family rental managers, HOAs, and asset managers across Memphis, Shelby County, and northern DeSoto County. If your portfolio also needs electrical make-ready work, ask us about coordinating with our electrical partner team.
Preventive maintenance + make-ready
The best results come when occupied units get seasonal preventive maintenance and vacant units get a make-ready check. Between the two, your equipment list stays current, and you can see which units are coming due for replacement.
