What is CheckMe!Ò

Proctor Engineering Group (PEG) has developed CheckMe, a computer software expert system, for air conditioning and duct system diagnostics and repair. CheckMe for Air Conditioners is designed to ensure that both refrigerant charge and airflow through the evaporator coil are properly tested and correctly adjusted. CheckMe for ducts ensures that duct leakage is detected and properly sealed. Since 1998, through application of CheckMe in routine HVAC maintenance and installation procedures, more than 118,000 residential air conditioners and heat pumps in California have been serviced.

IID Energy has contracted with Proctor Engineering Group to bring the success of the CheckMe program to IID Energy’s residential customers. Local air conditioning contractors use CheckMe to verify that your air conditioner and ducts are operating efficiently. Only specially trained and certified contractors can use the CheckMe system.
