Lake Elsinore, CA

During my twenty point inspection, I Started off with hosing down condenser coil of any dirt and debris. Opened condenser cabinet and checked everything thoroughly. Starter (good), fuses (good), dual secondary motor control (good), 24v (good), 120v (good), refrigerant levels sh 3, sc 7, osa 85, delta 20. Then went onto the furnace and checked furnace cabinet thoroughly. Blower motor (good), blower housing (cleaned), single secondary motor control (good), motherboard (good), 24v (good), 120v (good). House cools great and ready for summer.

Arrived on site to replace circuit board under warranty. Replaced and installed new broad In unit cycled unit and unit ran and was operational. Cycled a couple time and unit started to showed error code for indoor blower motor failure. Cycled after that code went away. Advised client and issues going on. Spoke to manager and stated we would not charge today. We would have to come back and add electrical static gel since unit is a ecm variable sped unit. Before doing anything else and moving forward. Told client we would have to come back next week to add the gel. He is aware and okay with so he understands and stated if we can make it for Wednesday as he will not be home Monday or Tuesday. Advise would let the office know. He is okay with soo.

Arrived on site to perform maintenance on 2004 ComfortMaker unit. Cycled system for cooling. Ran system through inspection checklist. Checked indoor unit electrical and system components. Temperature split is within range. Drain lines are not safety switched, and are overhanging above the drywall. This can cause drywall damage in the event of a clogged line. Checked outdoor unit electrical and system components. Primary motor control is in ok condition. Secondary motor control is completely drained, compressor is only turning on due to having a booster kit on it which is not good for the system. Amp draws on compressor are extremely high, and are actually above rated limited. This can cause unit to work inefficiently, and also system is more liable to a breakdown. Pulled condenser motor and thoroughly washed out condenser coil inside and out. Replaced filter. Went over findings and recommendations with homeowner. She understands the condition of the unit and recommendations. Due to age

Upon arrival started charging the unit. Unit took 6lbs of R22 refrigerant. Charged until a 20 sub cooling and 20 degree temperature split. Unit is now cooling properly. Cleaned off condenser coil.

Arrived on site to see unit making loud noise. He stated unit did not sound like this and got louder. Saw unit and cycled and advised unit fine is just old and running hard and just compressor is on borrowed time. Advised replacement would be best. Client is aware.

Arrived on site to diagnose 2 units one 2018 unit and a 2005 Goodman unit. Client stated one doesn’t turn on and other is not cooling. Cy both and one fan only turned on and condenser. Other unit nothing happened. 2018 unit opened up electrical and found secondary motor control bad and not turning on compressor. Replaced and unit was operational. Checked pressure and are good. Other unit opened up unit and found second motor control completely exploded and bad. Cycled unit and was not operational Found no power to unit. Breaker was tripped. Flipped back over. And got power. Cycled condenser with new secondary unit turned on and right away tripped breaker. Started to test compressor and found it grounded. Client is aware compressor is bad and no good. She stated she didn’t want to do big repairs on old unit. Advised her now is the time to consider full system replacement due due to repair and cat of new compressor and r-22. Client would like to have some one come out to go over re

Arrived on site to diagnose a no cooling unit on roof. Spoke over with client and they stated unit is just not cooling they just came back from vacation and noticed unit is not cooling ho down. They know unit is running. As it’s cooling okay just not as good as they like. Inspected unit couch cooling and was operational. Inspected electrical compartment. Secondary has been replaced. Stater is burnt up and original. Fan motor has been leaking oil. Blower assembly and wheel are dirty. Checked pressure and found pressure to be really low on charge of r-22. Advised this not good as the refill has been phased out and no longer in production. Unit is cooling less then half of how it should. Went over all findings and how unit is running. Client is aware unit is low and with r22 is no longer in production. But husband stated he not trying to waist money on refrigerant that can leak out again. So he did declined all repairs and recommendations for now as he is going to start to get quotes to

Arrived on site to diagnose a no cooling unit. Spoke to John when I got here he stated the unit went down again. He stated unit did not turn on at all. Asked him to turn unit on to see what going on. Client turned unit on system was operational and did run in cooling 2nd stage. Unit did not have any error codes tripped or shown. Advised client what happens he stated nothing out of the ordinary unit just stopped when he had family over and unit stopped. Advised him nothing is wrong with unit at This time. No issues or errors codes. Advised him of board being issues from the stater and this could be a intermittent issues and work at time and shut off at time. The bots could’ve gotten messed up or some relays but advised board it the issues. Advised him I would honor a replacing the board for $300 as we have done repairs already. Will be ordering one from lennox and get him back on the schedule to replace board. He is aware and okay with going forward for new board. Unit at this time u

Unit was low on refrigerant when I arrived. My temperature split was above 80. I first started looking for a leak in coil. The system was done three years ago from a side job hvac technician. I saw under the where the piston is at, the coil started freezing over from bottom of coil all the way up. I did a visual inspection and couldn’t see anything but deteriorating at bottom of coil on one end. Leak may be at coil, I let owner know that whatever last technician did could explain for low refrigerant in system. Coil is 2 years old and condenser installed is 3 years old. I got permission to add a leak dye to ensure next visit that we can potentially find leak at coil or condenser. Added leak dye then followed it with 2 lbs of R410A. After adding my temperatures were better, and my delta was now 19. Registers blowing 47 degrees on all of the downstairs. When i was adding refrigerant in system I was feeling a restriction or back pressure in my line set and gauges. I’m not sure if last

Arrived on site to perform diagnostic. Homeowner states system is not cooling. It blows air but air is nowhere near being cold. Had home warranty come out and they told her system is old and needs to be replaced, they will not work on it unless it’s replaced. Cycled system for cooling. Indoor and outdoor unit both came on, system is not producing any temperature split. Checked outdoor unit electrical and components. Gauged up to system and found that unit is extremely low on refrigerant. Low side is about to go into negative pressure, which can suck moisture into the lines. Unit has a leak somewhere in refrigeration cycle. Went over findings and recommendations with homeowners. Went over repairs vs. replacement. Ultimately homeowners would like to go over some replacement options as that is what they decided is the best option. Scheduled replacement options for tomorrow between 9-11. Power was left in off position for outdoor unit to prevent any further damage if unit comes on withou

Upon arrival unit was operational. Started at the indoor unit checked temp split it was in range. Checked amps they were in range and condensation line was clear of debris. Filter was fairly clean. Moved to the outdoor unit checked amps and they were in range washed off the unit. Upon departure unit was operational and cooling.

During my twenty point inspection, I started off with hosing down condenser coil of any dirt and debris. Opened condenser cabinet and checked everything thoroughly. Starter (good), fuses (good), dual secondary motor control (good), 24v (good), 120v (good), refrigerant levels sh 25, sc 17, osa 96, delta 22. Then went onto the furnace and checked furnace cabinet thoroughly. Blower motor (good), single secondary motor control (good), motherboard (good), 24v (good), 120v (good). House cools great and ready for summer.

arrived on site to replace bad blower motor. For a 9 year old lennox unit. Replaced and installed and cycled unit. System was operational and cycled a couple times to ensure unit didn’t stop. Unit stairs running. Talked to Jon and advised him of repairs done. Recommend adding surge protectors to protect systems and all the electrical components in unit from electrical surges and power outages that can damage or even short out systems and components. Advised motors has been operational. If issues happened ahah in told him like he was advised from the beginning it could be the motor or board or even both at time. Advised him due to having a couple power outage reoccurring could haves caused This and with no protection. All electrical components are at risk. He is aware motor is good. Unit is operational upon departure. Collected remaining balance of 370. He is aware and paid over phone with card on file. He is happy we came out.

Upon arrival, only the condenser fan motor was operational on the outdoor unit. Found the motor controller to have failed. Replaced it and tested charge. Found the system was low on R22. Advised client we would have to return to charge system.

-The primary condensation line from both systems are tied into the downstairs sink -The trap underneath the sink was clogged, as soon as I took it apart, water came flooding out because of the built up pressure -The trap and the rubber hose was thoroughly cleaned out, and all the gunk inside was removed -The trap was out back together, as well as the rubber hose which is caulked onto the primary drain line -Water is properly flowing and not backing up

Arrived on site to perform diagnostic on a 9 year old lennox unit. Client stated he’s been having issues with his unit and had WeCare out and been saying a couple things as a board or motor. Came to diagnose unit and I dose motor was not operating. Condenser did turn on. Inspected air handler and found blower motor issues error code. Verified and found voltage going to motor. Unplugged motor and reconnected it and motor turned on. Motor has stayed running for 20 mins didn’t have issues but client stated motor after its starts running then would suddenly stop. Stayed motor could have gotten damage from the power outage client has been having as he had 3 before these issues started and advised to client there is not protection on either unit inside and out. To protect from electrical surges and power outages that can damage or even short out systems and components. Client is aware and will be signing up on the loan plan monthly and would be charging the card on file to be charged for

Client stated water was leaking through ceiling -Technician found the primary and secondary drain lines to be clogged -Drain lines were unclogged with nitrogen -They were also reworked to provide better water flow -A safety switch was installed on the secondary line of the system, so if the primary ever does clog again, the safety switch will kill system and prevent water damage -Water was poured in and tested to make sure it is properly draining -System is currently cooling

Diagnosed defective breaker and incorrect starter installed.

Customer called to have his condenser checked out because he had a fire near it and wanted diagnostic. I checked dual motor control (good), starter (good). When I checked condenser fan motor amps it was reaching at full amps. Compressor is maxed out on amps and is supposed to be drawing less than 25 amps. Compressor is drawing 29 amps, compressor is failing. I made owner aware of the compressor and showed him. He would like to speak with supervisor to discuss replacement options. Charging today for diagnostic on compressor.

House wasnt cooling upon arrival. I Found the unit was low on refrigerant of r410a. I added 4 lbs of r410a to system. I got new readings of sh 35, sc 6, osa 98, delta 23. One thing I want to bring up is the package unit is on wood 2*4s, which is illegal. I would recommend when he wants new system to get the correct platform to hold up package unit. Once the wood rots from weather, the unit will collapse into home. When I went to check out duct work. I found that all ducting was properly sized for a 1 1/2 ton. Ducting needs to be all re done so house cool more efficient. Return was detached from cannon and I re attached it. Heat load is now being pulled out from house. House cools great now and ready for summer. There is a leak in system, owner is aware. He didn’t want to proceed with leak dye, instead wanted refrigerant and duct attached only.

Checked system for uv dye. Opened evaporator coil and inspected inside and outside fins. Checked the txv and the welds. Found no evidence of dye at this time and system is cooling very well. The leak is very slow and may take more time to leak out. The dye will not leave the system without the refrigerant. Client will inform us of the equipment behind to struggle.

Client stated no cooling -Maintenance has never been done to the AC system -Secondary motor control had gone bad, reason being, condenser coil was completely plugged up, preventing the compressor to breath and fan motor having to work extra hard -Turbo 200x cap with 5 year warranty was installed -Condenser coil was thoroughly cleaned out with chemicals, and rinsed off with water for maximum cleanliness -System is cooling properly and refrigerant levels are good

Client stated no cooling -Home warranty/solo contractor tampered with a portion of the system -Contactor was being held in by a screw, giving constant power 24/7 -A 410a refrigerant condenser was installed, however the r22 coil was not changed out, which really needs to be and client is aware of this -Having a 410a condenser with an r22 coil can cause irreversible damage to the condenser’s compressor -The condenser fan motor was replaced by this contractor but the wrong rpm was installed, so it was amping very high -A new condenser fan motor was installed with the correct specs -The old 30 amp disconnect was too small for the new condenser, causing the fuses to blow -A 60 amp disconnect was installed because the condenser needs 45 amp fuses to run properly -Exposed low voltage wiring was repaired -Systems are cooling, however coil replacement is a must if they want to protect the new condenser and get a more efficient system

Arrived on site to perform AC diagnostic on 2008 carrier condensing unit. Upon arrival client stated that system made very loud noise in backyard and did not work soon after that then Began to blow hot air. Client just moved in a year ago and has had no maintenance done. Began diagnostic at outdoor unit and found that breaker was tripped for condensing unit. Reset breaker and found that door secondary motor control was defective on compressor side. Compressor was pulling High amperage And starter was burned and pitted. Fan motor wires were corroded and exposed also measured amps for the fan and found that it was pulling 2 amps. System contain phased out refrigerant call R 22 which is no longer manufactured as of two years ago. Client is trying to salvage the unit for the meanwhile Auntie she’s ready to replace next year because she is not in a position to at this time due to budget. She has authorized for the Mandatory repair to get system up and running and would like to sign up on

Upon arrival i was told the house wasn't cooling. I hooked up my gauges and got a degree split of 50 degrees. I then checked amps on compressor and its at max amps. I showed owner what issue was, I couldn't add a kick start because someone did previously. Compressor is going out, dual secondary motor control is reading low as well. I spoke with owner about potential replacement of system. He said he needs to speak with wife first to schedule a perfect day for supervisor to come out. Today just charging for diagnostic
