Drain is not plugged and works well. 10. Overall Condition Above average for its age - Deep cleaning with foaming coil cleaner recommended next spring. Main AC System 11. A/C System Operation: Turned on and an well 12. Exterior Unit: Sitting in dirt - Not properly supported 13. Manufacturer: Tempstar 14.

7 Page 6 of 8 Air Conditioning (Continued) 32. Summary Running within manufactures specifications - I added 23 oz of R22 refrigerant. Low refrigerant is usually a sign of a leak in the system. However in this case I believe it was a little low due to its age and should not be anything to worry about. R22 Refrigerant has been discontinued due to the harmful environmental impact it has. R22 has become very expensive and hard to come by in recent years. This unit is 13 years old,typically the life span of this type of unit is 10 to 15 years. The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) rating is 8 which is considered very inefficient by today's standards. New AC units are typically a 13 SEER and go up to 20 SEER. Due to the age of this unit you may see maintenance issues in the near future. It is my recommendation that you consider replacement of this unit rater than paying out for expensive repair costs. Heating System A NP NI M D basement Heating System 1. Heating System Operation: Appear to run well - I turned on the heating system and it fired right up and sounded and felt good. 2.
