Performed single system cooling maintenance. I checked amps, capacitor, filter, cleanliness, ducts, drains, electrical, temperature differential, and refrigerant temperature. The system is cooling mostly within manufacture specifications. I noticed some issues with the system that can cause harm to the equipment and home. The ducts could use some cleaning. Excessive dust in the duct system causes other components to become dirty. This will make the system inefficient and start to strain to perform its normal duties by clogging the filter faster, making the blower motor dirty, and clogging the evaporator coil. The current float switch the system has is near useless. The design of the drains will bypass it until it has a major drain issue. I suggest that a float be added on the primary drain to detect clogging earlier. This would allow us to address it while it’s still a small issue. The blower motor has some build up present. This results in the blower having to work harder and can cau

I arrived at our clients home for a single system cooling maintenance inspection. I began by looking at the indoor unit and discussing the potential lack of return air in the closet unit. We also discussed hot/cold spots in the home. I proceeded outside and began to test the electrical components of the heat pump. I found the capacitor to be below manufacture specifications for the compressor and subsequently it is causing the unit to have very high start amps. The start amps are exceeding the manufacture limit. It is also causing the contactor to have burn/arching on the connection points. I also showed this to our client and we discussed the option of replacing these components under warranty. The unit was manufactured in May and only has a 5 yr limited warranty. We also discussed adding a hard start kit onto the compressor to help reduce the amount of start amps and help the performance of the compressor motor. I went back inside and tested the blower motor amps and temperature

Reformed single system cooling maintenance. I checked amps, capacitor, filter, cleanliness, drains, ducts, safeties, temperature differential, and refrigerant temperature. The system is cooling mostly in manufacture specifications. The compressor is over amping on start up. This leads to internal damage over years resulting in the compressor failing. The ducts are poorly designed. This is causing poor airflow to the master portion of the house and a whistling noise coming from one of the return. The duct to the master area is a 9” that feeds 2 - 7” ducts. We need to upsize the duct to a 12”. This would allow us to supply the 7s with appropriate air flow. The systems are designed to have so much return air. The system currently does not have enough. This causes high static pressure and it is one of the leading causes of system failure. High static pressure strains all of the major parts of an air conditioner. Provided pricing to address noticed issues.

Performed a 1 system spring maintenance ( ). Tasks performed. 1. Visually inspected condenser coil for debris/ dirty. 2. Inspected condenser fan motor. 3. Inspected condenser fan blades. 4. Inspected/ cleaned wiring connections. 5. Tested compressor/ condenser fan motor capacitor,,,,, highly recommend a surge protector for the outdoor unit to protect it against over current. 6. Checked refrigerant pressures. 7. Checked compressor amp draw. 8. Checked condenser fan motor amp draw. 9. Inspected / replaced return filter. 10. Inspected return plenum for debris/ dirty,,,return plenum/ ductwork are dusty, recommended a duct cleaning. 11. Inspected evaporator coil. 12. Inspected blower motor/ blower wheel. 13. Checked blower amp draw. 14. Measured temperature differential . 15. Inspected drain lines. 16. Washed condenser unit. Found no issues/ concerns at this time , unit is working properly.

Arrived on site, customer stated all is well in regards to normal unit operation however, she has not turned the system onto AC for the year. Began system inspection at the air handler. Upon initial inspection, it was noticed that the air filter had a poor fit, allowing dust past the filter. Lower motor amps were testing within range. Blower motor is beginning to accumulate a decent amount of dust which will shorten the life of the motor. Also noticed bacterial growth inside the unit. Tested drain line and float switch everything working fine. However there is no float. Switch on the primary drain line or blowout valve. On the outdoor unit contactor was testing within range. Capacitor was testing just below range on both fan and compressor. Start and run amps were within range. Washed outdoor unit to promote heat exchange and unit efficiency. Recommendations: 1. Replace capacitor testing outside range expected to fail soon Causing premature system Failure 2. blower motor Cleaning to r

Performed a 1 system spring maintenance (gas). Tasks performed. 1. Visually inspected condenser coil for debris/ dirty. 2. Inspected condenser fan motor. 3. Inspected condenser fan blades. 4. Inspected/ cleaned wiring connections. 5. Tested compressor/ condenser fan motor capacitor. 6. Checked refrigerant pressures. 7. Checked compressor amp draw,,, recommended a surge protector to prevent any over current damage to the condenser unit. 8. Checked condenser fan motor amp draw. 9. Inspected / replaced return filter. 10. Inspected return plenum for debris/ dirty,,, return plenum/ ductwork are very dirty, highly recommended a duct cleaning. 11. Inspected evaporator coil. 12. Inspected blower motor/ blower wheel,,both are dusty highly recommended a blower cleaning. 13. Checked blower amp draw. 14. Measured temperature differential . 15. Inspected drain lines,,,there is an overflow switch installed on the emergency drain pan but we recommend to install a different overflow switch on the mai

Install to be scheduled once part and materials are collected.

Arrived at our clients home for a single system cooling maintenance inspection. Our client had one last filter in the attic which I replaced today. Once replaced I proceeded outside to test and inspect the electrical components of the condenser unit. The capacitor is showing early signs of failure and I did find the compressor to have extremely high start amps. I showed this to our client and we discussed the option of adding a hard start kit. I then went into the attic and tested the blower motor amps and ensured the unit was cooling properly. The secondary drain pan is very rusted with small rust spots penetrating through. The unit is also without a blow out valve and water safety switch. I showed this to our client and he elected to replace and install a new drain pan with flex seal, a ball valve and float switch. He also elected to install the hard start kit today. Once installed I showed him how much the unit start amps had dropped. I then scheduled the replacement drain pan for n

Arrived for a single system maintenance inspection. Our client provided a filter to be replaced today. Once replaced I proceeded outside to test and inspect the outdoor heat pump. I tested all the electrical components and ensured everything was within manufacture specifications. Everything passed today. I then went into the attic and checked the blower motor and supply temperature. Inside everything also passed inspection. The only item that concerned me was that the system does not have a water safety switch to shutoff the system if there is a clog in the drain line. I showed this to our client and she requested an estimate for the float switch. The unit is otherwise cooling properly.

Attempted to locate the source of the leak. The source could not be determined at the time of service due to the gas metering being locked out. We need the ability to turn it on to find the source of the leak. Collected service fee and reached out to the CFO to have her reach out to the gas company. While on the roof, I shut the gas cocks in what appears to be off. We will return once we have the ability to turn on the gas when needed.
