HVAC Diagnostic Checklist
Start with the customer’s symptoms, prepare safely, inspect before changing components, follow a documented test sequence, and separate supported findings from possibilities.

For trained HVAC personnel only. Follow manufacturer instructions, applicable codes, licensing requirements, OSHA rules, and company procedures. Use required PPE and lockout/tagout. Stop when conditions are unsafe or work is outside your qualifications.

Make HVAC diagnostics more repeatable
Start with the customer’s symptoms, prepare safely, inspect before changing components, follow a documented test sequence, and separate supported findings from possibilities.
Preserve the evidence
Include test conditions, relevant readings, observations, photos, authorization, and follow-up in the job record. This creates a better handoff than a conclusion alone.
Limitations
