2.  Clean Dirty Refrigeration Condenser Coils!

 
Refrigeration Coils Should be Cleaned At Least Once a Quarter!

Dirty coils cause:
  1. Increased Energy Use
  2. Unnecessary Service Calls
  3. Premature Compressor Failure

Quoting from a major manufacturer's literature:
"Dirty condenser coils are the main reason for service calls."

Remember to clean coils with a vacuum or
coil brush... no brooms or caustic chemicals!
