- What do you do if you find something that isn't on your list?
- It depends what it is. Once we have disconnected the unit, we do as many jobs as we can. If there is something that isn't broken but might cause a problem before the next service then of course we repair it or replace that part. But if it's not urgent, we make a note in the service record to carry out that repair next time.
