Performed diagnostic on 2005 Goodman system. Homeowner states system is not cooling. Indoor unit is blowing air but it is not cold. Outdoor condenser fan motor is not turning on, they had home warranty replace a capacitor last year. Cycled system for cooling. Indoor unit is kicking on normally, outdoor condenser fan motor is unresponsive. Checked outdoor unit electrical and system components. System is recieving proper low voltage command as well as high voltage power, but fan is not kicking on. Found a bad secondary motor control that was not allowing fan to start. Condenser fan motor is completely covered in oil that it has lost, and shaft is fairly hard to spin. This is what could have caused the secondary motor control to wear out prematurely. Went over findings and recommendations with homeowner. System is on the older side and uses older style refrigerant. Discussed the possibility of replacing system. Indoor unit is also the same age as outdoor unit. Being that they just moved i

Performed AC diagnostic on 1999 Lennox condensing unit. Upon my diagnostic I found that indoor blower was on although blowing out hot air. I then proceeded to the outdoor unit and found that the fan motor and compressor were not on but power was present. Further investigation showed that the secondary motor control had been blown on both hermetic and fan side terminals and this was the reason why the system was not pumping refrigerant. Added a new secondary Motor controls and had to put a compressor saver kit to turn the compressor over due to a failing on lock rotor start up. This is an indication that the compressor is on borrowed time and is slowly dying. Upon departure system is fully operational and cooling with a 23° split did notify the Ms. Young that this is a short term repair And mandatory parts needed to at least get system running, Other components were recommended as well 5 ton Lennox- 1. Found that the secondary motor control was completely blown on hermetic and fan side

Arrived on site to diagnose a 2008 system make as its making a loud noise. Condenser located in back yard. Furnace and evaporator coil located in attic. Spoke over with client upon arrival. Client stated a few days back system was running and about 3am they heard system make a loud noise and they shut system off and haven’t ran it since. They did stated they had someone come out last year and charge system up since it was low but they did not know how much he charged it up. Advised since system was already charged up there could be possibility of a leak present. Had them cycled system in cooling both indoor and out door unit were operational. Went and inspect out door unit. Checked electrical compartment and components. Checked fan blades, bearings, and motor. Checked amp drawls on compressor and fan motor. Checked refrigerant pressure. Inspected attic and furnace. Checked electrical wiring, connections, circuit board, and components. Checked blower assembly. Inspected evaporator

Returned to replace communication board for outdoor unit. Removed existing board and wired in new communication board. Programmed board to unit specifications. Cycled system on. System turns on and shuts off. Doing the same exact thing as before. This did not fix problem. Homeowner will be in contact with Justin. Left homeowner a portable AC. He preferred that I did not come into the home, and asked that I leave it outside by the garage and he will bring it up if need be. System not operational upon departure.

Performed diagnostic 30 year old carrier system. Homeowners states that system is not cooling. Believes that his indoor unit is not coming on. Outdoor unit works just fine. They barely use the system only a couple days a year. Cycled system for cooling. Outdoor unit kicks on. Indoor unit is not kicking on indoor blower motor. Checked indoor motor electrical and system Components. System is recieving proper low voltage command as well as high voltage power, indoor motor unresponsive. Secondary motor control is within range. Indoor blower motor is partially seized and no longer operational, would need to get replaced. Cannot further diagnose system without proper working indoor fan motor. Went over findings and recommendations with homeowner. Advised that system is an older unit and could possibly have more issues other than what is showing at the moment. Homeowner wants to move forward with repairs today. With approval went ahead and replaced indoor blower motor, as well as performed th

Performed diagnostic on 2017 Lennox system. System was not installed by us, homeowners purchased the home and have no history on who installed the unit. System is not cooling, for a couple days now the indoor temperature is always above the set point temperature and never reaches goal. When they first moved in unit would blow cold and would blow more amount of air. Cycled system for cooling. System comes on normally, no cold air coming out of vents. Checked outdoor unit electrical and system components. Amp draws on compressor and condenser fan motor are within range. Secondary motor control within range, primary motor control in good condition. Checked refrigerant level and found unit to be low on refrigerant, which is why is not cooling. Refrigerant should never be needed in a system unless a leak has developed. Went over findings and recommendations with homeowner. Homeowner fully understands what is going on with system. With approval, went ahead and added 7 pounds of r410A refrige

Performed diagnostic on commercial unit. System is blowing air but Not cooling. Went up to roof and evaluated system. Compressor is not kicking on. Secondary Motor control for compressor that was replaced is still in range. Found that compressor wire had completely burnt off of the compressor prong. On previous visit Compressor was close to over amping. Compressor could have now been over amping and is what caused the wire to burn up. Prong coming off the compressor is also defected where compressor Plug is connected. Wire could possibly be repaired back into the compressor, but that would be too much liability as it looks like wire has already had to have been repaired. Compressor is basically on its last leg and should be replaced. Business owner has to talk with the landlord to see if they can come to an agreement on repair or replacement. System was left non operational upon departure.

Performed warranty. System is not operating. Error code 426 and 427 are appearing. System is completely locked out and not starting. Reset system and cycled for cool. System immediately went into lockout with same error codes. Replaced inverter board. Tighten all wires and secured nicely. Cycled system back on for cool. System ran for a good while before locking itself out again with code 441 and 427. Checked all electrical systems and components. All amp draws and refrigerant levels are all within Range. Incoming power is normal. Went through full system and commoned out all extra wires to ensure communication was not being interfered with. Reset system a couple times, continues to go into lockout. Tech support thorough Lennox is not available due to time. Reached out to Matt Rogers who was unavailable as well. Going to be ordering outdoor communication board tomorrow through Lennox. Will be updating eta when I get answer from Lennox. System is not operational upon departure.

Performed AC diagnostic on 30 year old payne condensing unit. Upon my diagnostic I found that both indoor blower and outdoor condensing unit were operational although only had a 8° split. Upon further investigation I found that the R 22 refrigerant pressures were very low this is the reason why temperature will not drop in the home due to low refrigerant levels not absorbing heat. Added in approximately 3 pounds of refrigerant and system had an 18° split. Advise customer that if system leaks out again we must drop leaked a test and show that some type of repairs being done. Upon departure system is fully operational and cooling although this is like a big Band-Aid due to this leak not being fixed.

Performed AC diagnostic on 1994 condensing unit. Upon my diagnostic I found that the secondary motor control was blown and this was causing the compressor not to pump refrigerant. Also found that on start up compressor was pulling Incredibly high amps this could’ve been one of the reasons why the problem occurred in the first place. Measured refrigerant pressures and found an R 22 was low and recommend charging to get Proper cooling. Compressor is using lots of power due to age and wear and tear recommended that a compressor saver kit is added to reduce start up amps and add refrigerant in, with a maintenance done to keep the system at a standard before much more damage occurs. Upon departure system Had 16° split and was fully operational and cooling

Performed AC diagnostic on 2001 Rheem condensing unit. Upon my diagnostic homeowner explained that weird odor was admitting from supply vents suspected refrigerant leak. Further investigation showed that under the home contained tons of moisture due to water and dirt collecting under house. Inspected evaporator coil and found no signs of refrigerant leak and refrigerant pressures were fine. Although I did find that evaporator coil was flooding over due to a clogged primary and original compressor saver kit Was no longer functioning properly due to microfarads being weak. Recommended multiple parts on condenser and indoor blower leaking oil. System did contain R22 refrigerant which was phased out January 1, 2020. Performed Mandatory repairs and system is cooling and operating properly upon departure

Performed diagnostic on 11 year old system. Tenants state the system is blowing, but it is not blowing cold air. Outdoor unit kicks on for a couple seconds and then shuts off. Has been doing this for a couple days. Cycled system for cooling. Indoor unit kicks on and blows air, outdoor unit kicks on and shuts off. Checked outdoor unit electrical and system components. System is recieving proper low voltage command as well as high voltage power. Low pressure switch is cutting 24volts To unit. Checked refrigerant pressures and found system to be low on refrigerant. Spoke to homeowner over phone And advised findings. With homeowner approval, went ahead and added 3 pounds of R410a refrigerant as well as leak seal+dye. Cycled system on, system came on and started cooling. Refrigerant pressures are now in range and system is producing proper temperature split. Homeowner was made fully aware that there is no guarantee of how long refrigerant will last in system before it stops working, also no

Performed diagnostic on 2006 Maytag unit. Homeowner states that system is blowing air, but it is not cold. It stopped working sometime last week. She replaced the filter and washed out the condenser coil as recommended online but unit still doesn’t seem to be working. Cycled system for cooling. Indoor unit comes on and blows air, outdoor unit fan motor is turning on but compressor is unresponsive. Checked outdoor unit electrical and system components. System is recieving proper low voltage command, as well as high voltage power but compressor is not kicking on. After further diagnosis, found a dead secondary motor control that was not allowing compressor to turn on. Informed homeowner of findings, and advised I will be putting in a temporary secondary motor control to fully evaluate system. Put in new secondary motor control and cycled for cooling. System came in and started cooling. Refrigerant levels are in range and system is producing proper temperature split. Compressor amp draw

Performed dx, homeowner stated system is not cooling. We relocated his condenser 2 months ago and feels like it may have a leak. Cycled system for cooling. System kicks on normally, but it is not producing cold air. Checked refrigerant levels and found them to be low. Visually inspected welds and coils not pin point leak. Added refrigerant and leak seal under warranty. System is now Recharged and producing proper temperature split. Homeowner would like someone to come out and do leak search in about 3-4 weeks. System is operational upon departure.

NO COOL. Customer stated unit was not cooling the house very well. He said he cleaned the unit out and its still not cooling. Upon inspection found the freon pressures very low. System is also undersized for the size of the home. Unit is a 42 and home is 2800 sq ft. Gave customer options on repair and option to get quoted for upsizing equipment. Customer declined all the options. Says he needs to discuss with his wife before beginning to shop around. No repairs done today. Do not recommend running unit since it has a leak and this strains compressor and may cause additional damage.

Found system low on refrigerant charge. Recharged system with 3 lbs refrigerant.

Inspected air conditioning system for faults and the outdoor fan motor is seized. Inspected electrical controls and these are good, contactor is pitted and should also be replaced.

Deposit of $1000. Balance due will be 9897

Recharged the system and changed the filter. Cleaned the condenser coil.

Inspected the system for faults.
