Arrived on site to perform AC diagnostic on two system ICP condensing unit. Prior to this visit I had been out here last August and found multiple points of concerns within the system but it was operational. Today I am here for the system not cooling upstairs and they state that is only blowing out hot air and will no longer drop temperature. Client also wanted me to look at downstairs unit. Inspected upstairs Condenser in immediately found that refrigerant pressures were low. Visually looking at the outdoor condenser coil I found that there was coil rot and oxidization on the side of it where the refrigerant is potentially leaking out of. Measured refrigerant pressures for downstairs system and found that it was also low as well but not as low as upstairs. Unfortunately this is an indication that there is a leak somewhere within the refrigeration cycle of both system. Advised clients that system can be charged up but it would be considered a Band-Aid and will not guarantee that the sy

Arrived on site to diagnose a no cooling 6 year old unit. Spoke to client And she stated unit just stopped cooling and got hotter. Cycled unit indoor was operational. Out side was not at all.

Arrived on site to perform condensation diagnostic on 2001 ICP unit. Upon arrival March stated that last night flooding occurred and water was dripping from the ceiling. He mentioned that there was a pan tucked under the unit that was not put there by him and he moved into the house in 2013. Began diagnostic and proceeded to attic and found no signs of water flooding in the front of the unit and no water present in both secondary and primary lines. He stated that he slightly blew it out last night but wasn’t sure if it cleared it. When I looked at the back of the unit I found water stains running down in a pan filled to the top which is the location of where the water damaged the ceiling. Revised Mark that the system may potentially have a cracked pan. Client is familiar with HVAC equipment because brother is in the industry and has a good idea How system works. Advised Mark that if primary Pan is cracked this will require replacement of pan or evaporator coil which can be pretty cos

Client would like to hold off on checking indoor unit as he is aware of repairs recommended from previous technicians but would like to hold off at this time. Began maintenance on outdoor unit and performed deep cleaning on condenser coil. Coil was slightly damaged from the years past. Inspected electrical components and found that dual secondary motor control was weak reading under the 5% range of 40 indicating that the compressor could possibly cause this component to fail once again. Starter and compressor saver kit we’re in good condition. New ECM condenser fan motor was installed previously and saw no signs of oil leakage and amps was in range. Measured compressor amps and found that they were extremely high and as a result of this Craig had stated that the energy bill has been above

Arrived on site to perform condensation clear out on downstairs unit. Upon arrival Mr. Perez is not home although I was able to talk to him over the phone. He states that the house is under renovation at this time and they are we doing the concrete and the pool in the backyard. He mentioned that four months ago he had his buddy come out and blow out the condensation lines because it was dripping out of the secondary of the house. Advised that I will go do an inspection in the attic and figure out which unit is clogged and found that the primary drain is backed up and causing water to flow into the secondary pan. Advisory more advanced condensation repairs done or we cut the lines and disassemble the P-trap under the sink although Mr. Perez is not in a position to do this at this time and want to do the bare minimum clear out with only nitrogen. Blew P-trap out at unit And cleared all residual water and secondary pan and inside primary line. Client would like to hold off on membership a

When I arrived, house didn’t cool for last two weeks. I started at the electrical cabinet and checked all components to unit. Starter was working properly, the motor controls was reading 0 on each leg. I recommended a kickstart along with motor control, to keep longevity of system. After installing both components, the system turned on and started cooling immediately. My temperatures were good, also my pressures. System is working efficiently. House cools great now and ready for summer.
