Client reports that his outdoor unit is not operating. Unhappy with its performance when it was working. Findings: (1) Upon arrival found the unit not working. Opened the service panel and found that the battery cap was fried. (2) Tested the system with a brand new one. The system already contains a hard start kit (done by the previous owners). (3) The condenser fan motor is operational. The compressor’s LRA is within range. The compressor operating amps are extremely high, however. The maximum designed is 28.8 and it is operating at 26.75 amps. This is potentially what caused the cap to fail. The motor is operating very hot and in turn wares out the cap faster. (4) Looked at the indoor unit and found that the blower motor is leaking liquified grease. The battery cap is -14% out of range is causing permanent and irreversible damage to the motor. This also needs to be replaced. Notes: (1) Talked to the client and he would like to replace his system. We will be installing the batt

NO COOL DX/GOOGLE/YELP. Found system non operational upon arrival. Customer stated motor wasn’t running outside. Found motor seized. Replaced motor and motor controls with customer approval. Tested and cycled upon departure. System is slightly low on charge. Highly recommend replacement options. Customer declined at this time. Unit operational and cooling upon departure. 1. System has not had maintenance in years. Highly recommend maintenance program. 2. Line voltage switch shows burning and pitting. May fail soon. Compressor is drawing high power at start up. Recommend adding rebuild kit. 3. Due to the age of the system and condition we recommend replacement options. System is at life expectancy.

PERFORMED AC MAINTENANCE. Found system operational upon arrival. Replaced 12x30x1 standard filter. Blower wheel dirty. Motor is starting to get build up. This may unbalance wheel and cause damage to bearings. Evaporator coil ok. Ductwork is new. Insulation is low. Washed condenser. Amperage within range on both start up and run for compressor. Condenser motor running within range. Freon pressures are in good range. Motor controls in good condition. Unit operational upon departure. 1. Customer interested replacing unit to something that will work better for the home. She states unit is loud and doesn’t cool the house all that well. 2. Tech recommendation is to do xc25 system with at least 3 cut in returns and zoning. Also recommend adding insulation. We recommend to relocate furnace to the attic with a new platform. Customer splits the house in pretty much 3 zones. Left wing, kitchen and living room area, and right wing. They share the home between her and her sisters families. Zoni

Upon arrival performed diagnostic. Right side of home barley getting any air flow. Ducting is very old and inefficient. Customer would like estimate to replace ducting. Plenum looks to be asbestos. Customer would like anytime next week.

Charged system with freon and added leak sealant plus leak detect ant. Need to come back in 4 weeks to trace and locate leak in split system. Unit operational and cooling upon departure.

Performed diagnostic on system. Age unknown, model and serial numbers are no longer visible but unit is old. Business owner states that they just leased the business space not too long ago, and that a month or two ago had someone out to refill it with r-22 refrigerant. Previous business owner left them a full jug of r-22. System has prior history of having a leak. Current owner is aware of it but only wants to do the minimum as he is only leasing the property. After diagnosis, found that compressor was not turning on due to a bad secondary motor control. With approval, went ahead and added new secondary motor control. Cycled system, compressor kicked on normally. System is now cooling and condenser producing good temperature split. Homeowner is aware of the condition of the system, and knows that system will eventually need to be recharged, or replaced. System is fully operational upon departure.

Post job walk

Arrived on site to diagnose a no cooling 2020 Lennox system. Upon arrival client stated system dose work and is just not cooling as good as she thought it would. She cycled cooling mode on indoor unit was operational condenser was operational. Went to check Indoor unit. Checked ducting, filter condition, evaporator coil and all was good and clean. Checked refrigerant pressure and system was low as it was only cooling in a16 degrees split. Advised client I would need to charge system up to get it were data plate specifies. Charged system up with a pound and Half. Got good pressure and got sub cooling up to 7.6 as when I first checked it was at 0.6. Checked temperature split and system is now cooling at a 19 degrees split. Advised client That she dose not have an insulation in attic and the heat load is going into home due to no insulation. Client is also aware her house has a lot of windows and the sun is always hitting house sunrise and sunset and allowing heat load to enter home.

Found system operational upon arrival. Customer washes filter himself and did not want me to wash it. Checked blower. Amperage was ok but motor control is failed and may cause motor to fail. Blower wheel is dirty and accumulating dirt. Evaporator coil is slightly dirty. Washed condenser coil. Checked motor controls. Compressor and condenser fan motor control is rusted. Condenser fan motor is rusted on exterior and leaking at the bearings. Compressor amps are low. After checking freon levels found out the reason why the amp draw is low is because freon pressures are low. With the freon being this low it is highly likely there is a leak somewhere in the system. Found no obvious leaks with a quick leak search. Customer approved adding freon and sealant. Need to come back tomorrow to finish charging system. Ran out of 410 and there was nobody open or near the area to supply me more. Unit running at this time but needs more.

Pull clean and sanitize the indoor blower motor. Replace the outdoor fan motor. Replace the starter and add a compressor assist kit. Replaced outdoor fan motor, starter and added compressor assist kit. Cleaned the outdoor condenser bottom and coils. Blessed blower motor wheel, housing and blower cabinet. Wiped inside cabinet and vacuumed. Wiped motor and circuit board / wiring. Tested system before departure, system functioning properly at this time.

Upon arrival found compressor to be icing up. King valve has restrictions. Have a 13 degree difference from one side of valve to another. Indoor motor leaking oil and covered in dirt and debree. Outdoor fan motor leaking oil. Primary power distributor pitted and burned. Secondary control low. Was not able to do full maintenance due to system not working properly. Customers want to have full system options before going with repairs. Darren to come out tomorrow between 12-2 for replacement options

Found AC maintenance on five-year-old Lennox condensing unit. During my maintenance I came across a few points or concerns: Lennox 3 ton condenser- 1. Found the compressor starter kit no longer reducing lock rotor amps was a previously installed by unknown company. 2. Found that started showing signs of pitting on contact point 3. Disconnect supported by fuses but no surge protection To protect against any type of power outages micro surges or thunderstorms in the future.

This will be a plenum coil and We will reuse the condensation pump

System running on arrival, inspected the thermostat and filter in the hallway and found the filter to be completely clogged and restricted. Removed the hallway filter and found a second filter in the blower motor cabinet.this was replaced with a clean filter. Inspected the outdoor system and determined the system is functional but has a lot of ware and tear, recommending replacement of the equipment, will also provide estimate for repairs.

Checked the system for faults. Found refrigerant leak in the outdoor condenser coil. Darren out to provide estimate.
