Spoke with the homeowner. He mentioned that the upstairs and downstairs zones had gotten extremely warm, and he didn’t feel very much air blowing from the vents. I went into the attic area and found the emergency overflow pan filled with water. I removed the evaporator coil panel and found the coil to be frozen solid on all sides. I tested the blower motor and found that it would only run for a few seconds at a time before shutting off. Tested the motor on multiple speed tap settings and ensured there was a constant supply of 24VAC and a constant supply of 240VAC with a call for the fan motor. I also tested and verified both zone dampers were opening and closing with each call from the zone thermostats. Recommend having the indoor blower motor replaced, and then rechecking over the system to ensure refrigerant levels are within range and both zone areas are operating as designed. I Installed new indoor blower motor. Tested both zones to ensure operation. Checked over the indoo

Performed semiannual maintenance on one gas heating system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Tested and verified everything was operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.

Performed service diagnostic. The diagnostic found that the capacitor on the condenser unit has failed. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and she chose to have the capacitor replaced. I replaced the capacitor and function checked the system. The system is now operational and running normally. At no additional charge, I also cleared the condensation drain line and flow tested the drain with water. I then treated the drain line and rinsed off the condenser coil.

Performed semiannual maintenance on three heat pump cooling systems. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. I did note on the System #2 (kitchen area), the outdoor fan motor run capacitor has failed below value which is causing the condenser fan motor to draw high amp usage. Flushed and treated the primary drain lines. Labeled all indoor air handler units to their corresponding outdoor units. Tested and verified all mechanical components were operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Installed new outdoor run capacitor on the System #2 condenser. Reset power to system and verified system startup. Checked over mechanical components and verified their operation.

Performed semiannual maintenance on two HVAC systems. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. Tested and verified all mechanical components were operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Changed out one 20x20x1 air filter in the kitchen that the homeowner provided. Reset all reminders and alerts on the thermostats and cycled system prior to leaving. Everything is working at this time.

On arrival, I found the weep hole of the internal drain pan dripping water into the return air chase. Went outside and was able to locate the drain line outside buried under a rock out by the propane tank. I found that the drain line necks down to a quarter inch pipe and the hole in the ground is not that big, which caused the water to back up into the air handler. Flushed and treated the primary drain line until the line was clean and clear. Sealed up the overflow weep hole in the pan and reset the system. Everything is working at this time

Performed semiannual maintenance on one straight cool HVAC system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. I did note that the outdoor run capacitor has failed below value across both the HERM & FAN terminals which is currently causing the fan motor to run at a higher amp usage along with running hotter than designed. While on-site, I flushed and treated the primary drain line and ensured the exterior drain exit next to the condensing unit had proper flow Recommend having a new run capacitor installed at the outdoor unit to ensure proper and continuous operating of the AC system. Installed new run capacitor at the outdoor unit, secured all wiring terminals rechecked the system. Ensured refrigerant levels were within operating range of the unit. System currently operational.

Installed new Carrier 2.5-ton gas system. Installed new Ecobee Pro thermostat. Rebuilt and insulated condensate drain line. Added SS2 safety float switch. Cleared drain line with CO2 and flushed drain with water to ensure proper operation. That was then followed by Viper drain treatment. Installed new filter dryer, pressure tested with dry nitrogen and pulled a vacuum on copper line set. Replaced the disconnect and electrical whip. Also ran the low voltage in Seal-Tite. Installed line set cover on the copper coming outside. Put down a plywood overlay. Built a transition to existing supply plenum and sealed with mastic airlock. Charged system to factory spec and performed a benchmark. The system is working properly at the time of departure.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one heat pump cooling system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Tested and verified all mechanical components were operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. I did find that the indoor air handler blower wheel is extremely caked over with dirt, dust and microbial growth. Recommend having the air handler and blower assembly cleaned to help ensure proper airflow from the blower motor and wheel, along with ensuring there are no airflow restriction across the indoor evaporator coil.

Kitchen Area HVAC System: On arrival I went into the attic through the garage, I found that the emergency drain pan was filled with water due to a clogged up primary line. I removed all the water from the secondary drain pan and cleared out the primary line that attaches into one of the Jack and Jill bathroom sinks. I used multiple gallons of hot water to flush out the line and verify it was clean and clear. Added in a drain treatment to the line to help with condensate drainage. Master Area HVAC System: Found the primary drain line restricted so condensate was draining out of the overflow drain near the front door. I cleared out the line that attaches to the laundry room sink and flushed it out with multiple gallons of hot water to ensure like was clean and clear. Added in a drain treatment into the line to help with condensate drainage. Both systems are operational at this time.

Performed semiannual maintenance. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Tested and verified everything was operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.

Sealed all upstairs buckets from the attic. Sealed around all ducts attached to plenum. Replaced all plastic grilles with metal grilles. Sealed all downstairs buckets from downstairs with silicon.

Service diagnostic found that the condensate drain line had a partial clog. Water was tripping the safety switch and turning off power to the thermostat. The system has a filter installed at the return air grille and a filter installed at the filter base of the furnace. I removed the extra filter and instructed the tenant to only use one filter. The condenser capacitor is below value and the condenser coil is not exchanging heat properly due to tall grass and dirt on the coil. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and he chose to have the drain line cleared, the condenser coil cleaned and the capacitor for the condenser unit replaced. I replaced the capacitor on the condenser unit and cleaned the coil. I also dug up the drain line that was buried in the mud and cleared the drain using compressed air and a shop vacuum. I tested the drain with four gallons of water and the drain was flowing water. I function checked the system and the system is running at the
