We use a lot of split systems here, which means the condensers are smaller, and frequently they will be mounted rooftop, or second story height.

That means if it's a bad thermostat, exhaust fan motor or contactor I'm doing that myself.all cash

That is why there is mounting support to reform AGI as it no longer makes sense compared to why it was put in place.John Corey

It taught us basic troubleshooting techniques.If you are in any way handy at all, and can operate a Volt/Ohmmeter you can troubleshoot the system and you'll discover that many, if not most problems are NOT air conditioning problems but ELECTRICAL problems.By knowing how to troubleshoot here's some of the things that I found bad and replaced myself:Bad exhaust fan motor, the one on the outside unit.

I have had one tenant burn out a ceiling fan because it was so dusty that when it was cleaned enough dirt went in the motor to stop it from working.We use Home Depot life time warantee paint so if a tenant puts holes in our walls it's a 25 dollar fee per hole and if it's scratched or dirty they are charged regardless of how old the paint is because it's warranted as long as I own the home and it's not damaged. ( The tenants are told to hang items on the wall with Command strips ) I use them in my own home and they work well.Our laminate floors carry a lifetime warantee as well so if there is wear or damage from not caring for it the tenant is buying a new floor.
