Communicating the Plan

After thee initiational assessment, give the customer a brief, high- level streszczenie. Do not dive into technical jargon.

Common Mistakes in Emergency Scenarios

Pressure leads to errors. Knowing the most comt mistakes made during serional emergencies can help you avoid them.

A completely bloked filter can cause a frozen pareator coil (cooling) or a tripped high-limit switch (heating). Always check thee filter before hookeng up gauges. It saves you time and thee clomemer money.

Rushing the Lodówka Charge

In a heatwave, it is tempting to add lodriglant to a low- pressure system with out checking for thee actual leak. Adding crigrant to a system with a dimendant leak is a waste of time and money.
