Example AC repair service report
Here is a simple example based on rough technician notes.
AC Repair Service Report Customer / Job: Residential AC repair visit Service Date: [Add date] Reported Issue: Customer reported that the AC system was running but not cooling properly. Equipment / System: Central air conditioning system Technician Findings: The technician found a weak capacitor and a clogged filter. The outdoor coil was dirty. The system was cooling during the visit with an 18-degree temperature split. Work Completed: The weak capacitor was replaced. The technician checked system operation and documented the filter and coil condition. Parts / Materials: - Capacitor replacement, if confirmed by invoice or technician notes System Notes: - Filter was clogged - Outdoor coil was dirty - System was cooling during visit - Temperature split documented as 18 degrees Recommendations: Replace the clogged filter and consider outdoor coil cleaning. Routine maintenance may also be worth discussing if the customer wants regular system checkups. Customer Notes: Customer declined coil cleaning today. Review Notes: Review before sending.
