    Do you have a customer with a problem compressor? Why tear down the entire unit to find the issue if you don’t have to? The solution is at your local Totaline® sales center – the TotalSense fluid analysis kit.

    Do you have a customer with a problem compressor? Why tear down the entire unit to find the issue if you don’t have to? The solution is at your local Totaline® sales center – the TotalSense fluid analysis kit.

    “Contractors can find TotalSense fluid analysis kits at any Totaline sales center,” said Totaline Category Manager Mike Zales, who explained that from there, all contractors need to do is sample the fluid, place it in the provided package, and send it in for analysis. “Oils, refrigerants, water, brines, and more can be analyzed, and are tested by professional scientists in a lab specializing in the HVAC/R industry.”

    Zales explained that within 72 hours of receipt of the sample, a report is generated and sent to the customer via e-mail, fax, or customer website with recommendations for equipment maintenance. Sample reports and data can be seen at www.fluidanalysisservices.com. Rush service is also available for an additional fee.

    Zales said that besides convenience, TotalSense is also an affordable alternative to a teardown. “It’s a cost-effective way to monitor the internal condition and system fluids of HVAC/R equipment,” he said. “TotalSense kits are also a non-invasive testing method, so they’ll save time and money for the contractor. Why tear down a compressor to find a problem if you don’t have to? That’s what Totaline sales centers are all about – providing the contractor with everything they need to save time on the job.”

    Zales added that TotalSense is an invaluable part of any contractor’s annual maintenance contract. “With a staff of engineers behind them to help answer questions about reports and troubleshooting, contractors can perform reliable preventative maintenance and reduce downtime, and possibly even prevent catastrophic failure.”
