Tech arrived on site. Found the fan motor to have failed. Capacitor was weak but still within range. Found other issues with system. Compressor had high amps. No secondary drain protection, dirty condenser coil. Went over options with client. Client wants to explore home warranty options. Just had us out to diagnose system. Turned unit off at service disconnect.

Performed diagnostic on 15 year old Lennox system. Met with Trudy. States upstairs system is not cooling. It is blowing air but not cold air. Cycled system for cooling. Indoor unit kicks on. Outdoor fan is kicking on but compressor is not turning over. Checked system electrical and components. Found a weak secondary motor control keeping compressor from turning on. Replaced secondary motor and cycled system to perform thorough evaluation of system. Concerns are as follows: 1. System is cooling, but temperature split is only 15 degrees meaning system is not cooling to its full capacity. 2. Refrigerant pressures are not up to manufacture specs and are out of wack. Almost seems like there is a refrigerant restriction in unit. 3. Compressor amp draws are getting near max allowed capacity. Due to refrigerant readings Compressor is over all starting to work hard and not compressing refrigerant correctly. 4. Opened all supply vents upstairs as there were a couple of vents closed which cause

Tech arrived on site. System was operational. Client said he had removed the filter and it began to cool better. Checked electrical components of condenser. Every component had serious wear on it. Condenser fan motor is over amping. Capacitor is out of range. Compressor drawing high amps. Contractor had heavy carbonation. Refrigerant charge is good at this time. Went into attic sad found the most of the insulation missing. There was a 4in filter that had been installed since 2010 which was restricted. Blower motor was hot to the touch. Went over options with client and informed him of system conditions. Since the unit is operational we just did a maintenance on the system and charged the filter. Client wants to explore new equipment with a comfort advisor.

Collected $5000 for down payment. Balance due will be 15859 upon completion

Performed diagnostic on 2 systems. 1st unit that controls the loft area has a blank thermostat and is not cooling. Found furnace door had come off and was not engaging door switch. Pushed for back in and unit came on and started cooling. Thoroughly evaluated system. Went over findings and recommendations with Erik. Needs quotes emailed so he can go over it with the church board. Back classroom unit is not blowing any air. This is a bard commercial unit. Cycled system for cooling unit is unresponsive. Checked unit and found a bad transformer that was not providing low voltage power to thermostat. Unit has had some work done in the past, and found a jumper clip from Y to R meaning that system was in constant cooling mode at all time, unsure of how long this went on for. Removed jumper. Went over findings and recommendations for this system as well. Needs to meet and see if they want to replace or repair the unit. System was unoperational upon departure.

Upon arrival performed maintenance on two HVAC systems. Opened up condensers outside and washed coils out and inside of condenser cabinet. Replaced three standard filters. Found secondary motor control on smaller unit to be far out of range. Client is aware of part failing. Refrigerant levels are in range. Found that sensor to be thrown on side of the unit but still wired in, advised client that I put sensor back so if she has any issues just to give us a call so we can figure out what was happening when that was taken out. Tested other secondary motor control‘s and found that they are in range. Amperage is throughout systems are in range. Ducting seals are good there is no distribution boxes on return ducting they are stamped on the side of furnace system. Circuit boards are in good condition. Recommended for search protectors for indoor and outdoor systems. Systems were reset tested and fully functional upon departure .

Preformed condensate cut and clear on 2007 Duncane system. Upon arrival I found that the primary condensate line was completely backed up. Vacuumed out all water and residual debris that was inside the lines. Verified that refrigerant pressures were in range. System Had No Secondary float switch, Condensate Lines were installed incorrectly with no breather. Advised that lines are re-done and float switches installed to prevent any flooding. Ultimately System was installed without permits And multiple things weren’t in range for proper operation of the system although it was still cooling and doing the job at this time. Found that one weld on the suction line on outdoor condensing Had a suspicious leaking weld but Wasn’t able to see any with refrigerant bubbles. Signed Michael up on maintenance club to keep system at standard and prevent any further problems. Upon departure System is fully operational and draining out at this time.

Performed AC diagnostic on 2006 York condensing unit. Upon my diagnostic client stated That the system is only blowing out hot air and they check the breaker multiple times and still no power at the outdoor unit although it seems like it’s trying to start. During my diagnostic I found multiple points of concerns that were addressed with both homeowners. 1. Duel secondary motor control Has become Defective on both hermetic and fan side terminals. This is due to either a power outage or the compressor fan using too much amps. 2. Starter has significant burning on contact points due to the compressor using too much power over time which is causing the contact point to pit 3. Outdoor condensing fan motor has oil leakage had oil coming from bearing and can lead to premature failure if left in this condition. 4. Removed original compressor saver kit Due to it potentially having it’s relay stuck in place which can also cause high amperage. 5. System Contained R22 refrigerant which was com

Returned to replace drain pan. Removed disassembled duct board plenum. Lifted evap coil removed old primary drain pan. Installed new primary drain pan. Secured evap coil to new drain pan. Reattached plenum and drain lines. Poured water onto drain pan to ensure proper water flow and drainage. Water is draining correctly. With coil compartment opened, found that the TXV metering device has been removed entirely from the system. The system is still operating normally and cooling, but long term the unit can potentially have shortened life span due to refrigerant just free flowing inside the unit. Made homeowner aware of concern. System is operational upon departure.

Collected $1000 deposit. Balance of 13849 due upon completion. Left band aid repair in the unit to hopefully last until Instal

Summer AC Maintenance Performed Upon arrival system is working and operational. I began my maintenance at the outdoor condenser by breaking it down and cleaning with water and coil solution removing dirt and debris. I then tested amp draws on system as well as inspected electrical components. I checked system pressures and charge. Upon inspection of outdoor unit I found the compressor to be pulling high amps on start up, recommended a compressor saver kit to lower amp draws and lessen premature wear, I also found that the fan side of the motor control to be below its rated values. I proceeded to the indoor furnace unit. I swapped filter as it was heavily laden with dirt and debris. I checked condensates for functionality and drainage. Inspected electricals for tight connections and wear. Checked blower compartment dust and dirt as well as balance. Upon departure system is working and operational.

Performed diagnostic on 16 year old unit. Homeowner states that system is not cooling. Has not been cooling since Monday. There is air coming out of the vents but no cold air. Checked. Outdoor unit electrical and system components. Found a dead secondary motor control for compressor that was keeping the compressor from turning on. Put in a temporary secondary motor control to further diagnose system and ensure no other issues. Refrigerant pressures on unit seem within range. Amp draws on compressor are extremely close to going over max rated amps. Cut system off and compressor was extremely hot to the touch. Due to how system is operating, it is very likely that the compressor will not make it much longer. Went over findings and recommendations with homeowners. Due to the age and condition of the system and amount of repairs needed, homeowners decided that they would would like to go over some system replacement options. Turned call over to Darren who will be coming over tomorrow at 8

Performed diagnostic. Homeowner had home warranty tell her the drain pan was cracked, but they did not know from where. They told her she had to replace the whole system and she was not having that. At first glance it appeared like the only issue was a clogged primary drain line. Cut and clear drain line and drain line was super clogged. Water started flowing to drain normally. Upon running unit located water coming from the corner of coil compartment. Opened up evap coil and found crack on primary drain pan. Drain pan needs to be replaced. Homeowner approved repair. Went over possible price depending on work needed to be done on that day. Need to order drain pan and return to replace. System is not operational upon departure.

Upon inspection of system I found the wiring from the furnace linking the thermostat and outdoor unit to not have continuity. Wiring was fixed and now has continuity. Upon departure system is working and operational.

Drain lines were reversed. Corrected drain lines. Cycled system, system is operational upon departure.

Found drain lines revered Causing unit to shut down from emergency drain sensor

Arrived on site to diagnose a no cooling 2004 upstairs unit.
