Performed AC Diagnostic on 1985 unit. Upon arrival client stated that the system has been working fine but has recently changed out the capacitor with a bigger sized cap and now the system is acting intermittent and only blowing hot air certain times of the day. During the diagnostic I found multiple points of concern that were addressed with the homeowner. 1985 unit- 1. Client recently replaced dual secondary motor control with an oversized MFD cap. This was causing the compressor to run at higher amps due to it not giving it the proper rating. Once the compressor is running at higher amps just put it at a higher risk of locking out or overheating. 2. Starter is significantly burnt and pitted on contact points due to compressor using high amps overtime 3. Condenser fan motor is heavily rusted out and over amping 4. Compressor is pulling higher amps than what it is designed for due to the deal secondary motor control being undersized and compressor having wear and tear from over the y

Performed diagnostic on 2012 Goodman system. Homeowner states the he was running his system and smelled a burning smell coming from his vents. He shut the system off and has not tried running it since. Opened up furnace and blower compartment. Filter that was inside the cabinet was dirty and wet, meaning water is making its way into the blower compartment and could be causing a electrical short. Poured water into condensation line and found it to be clogged and is backing up water into system, causing it to overflow into the unit. Performed cut and clear and cleared drain thoroughly. Poured water to test drain line and is completely cleared. Tried cycling system on and indoor blower motor immediately started to smoke up. Blower motor is shorted out, needs to be replaced. Went over findings and recommendations with homeowner. Wants to replace with OEM MOTOR. Ordered motor from Goodman Branch in Corona. Need to return for repair of motor.

Summer AC Maintenances Performed Upon arrival systems are 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 inspected electrical components for wear and tight connections. I checked refrigerant pressures and charge. I tested system amperages. I then proceeded to the indoor furnace units. I measured temperature splits. I checked condensates for proper drainage and safety. Inspected electrical to ensure tight connections and monitor wear. Inspected blower compartment for dust and dirt as well as proper balance. Upon inspection of both outdoor units I found both the condenser fan motors to be leaking heavy oil and have shaft play, as well as they are coming close to over amping, upon inspection of the indoor furnace units, I found the blower wheels to be heavily laden with dirt and dust. Recommend motors for outdoor units be replaced and blower wheels be pulled and cleaned.

Performed diagnostic. Tenants states that system is not cooling later in the afternoon. Upon diagnostic found that unit was extremely restricted on airflow causing it not to work properly. Return register had a piece of furniture pressed up directly against it, and there was a filter inside that register that had not been changed out in years and was causing an even bigger restriction. Removed filter from inside register and also pulled furniture away from Register. Airflow on unit increased dramatically and system is cooling correctly. Thoroughly went over system and pointed other concerns out to homeowner over the phone. Homeowner wants to hold off on any repairs for now. System is operational upon departure but concerns with unit can cause issues in the near future.
