Austin TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Service diagnostic found that the blower motor was not constantly running. When in heating or with the fan turned on the motor would only sometimes start. If it did start it would run for a minute or two and then stop. I verified that the blower motor was getting a constant signal to run as well as power. Options for repair were presented to the customer and he chose to have the blower motor replaced. I ordered a new blower motor and went and picked it up. I then replaced the blower motor and function tested the system. The blower motor came on and was running without issue. I watched the system run for fifteen minutes to make sure that the fan stayed on. The system was running at the completion of service.

On arrival I found that the thermostat was set to heating but the furnace was not running. I began the diagnostic by turning off the thermostat and jumping R to W on the furnace control board. The furnace started up and began to run. I then went down to the thermostat and made sure it was receiving power and found that it was. I jumped R to W at the thermostat wires and the furnace again ran. I put the thermostat back on the system and turned the system to cooling. The system began running in cooling mode. By isolating the thermostat, I found that the thermostat was not sending signal on the W wire to run the furnace. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and he chose to have the thermostat replaced. I replaced the thermostat and function tested the system. The furnace is now operational.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one gas furnace heating system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. Tested and verified everything was operating within manufacture specifications for operation. The homeowner did change out the air filter prior to us arriving. Everything is working at this time.

Performed heater check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared the drain line and flow tested the drain with two gallons of water. I also treated the drain line. I treated the inside of the condenser cabinet with JS insecticide to help deter ants. No other major issues were found. The system was running at the completion of service.

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

Performed semiannual maintenance on two Carrier Infinity gas furnaces. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. I did let homeowner know that the AprilAire 416 & 216 filters were restricting the airflow going into the system and causing strain on the blower motor. Everything is working at this time.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one heat pump heating system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. Tested and verified everything was operating within manufacture specifications for operation. Changed out one 24x24x1 air filter and sealed filter inside return air grille to help prevent filter bypass. Everything is working at this time.

Homeowner mentioned that the heater would have to be reset each morning and she would get an error code on the Nest thermostat for no power to the R wire. I went through the system and found everything to be operating within manufacture specifications for operation. I checked the system multiple times and allowed the furnace to run for various time lengths between each zone. While diagnosing the system, I went ahead and completed the furnace maintenance. Tested and verified all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems were operating as designed. Everything is working at this time.

Replaced both supply and return plenums; built new supply and return plenums on site. Replaced all metal collars. Sealed all connections with mastic air lock.

I found that the outdoor defrost board locked out in an error code for a failed defrost mode. I reset the system and sent the unit into defrost mode. During this process, I noticed that the solenoid on the reversing valve was glitching out and not allowing the reversing valve to switch over. Installed new switchover solenoid at the outdoor heat pump. While onsite I also installed new wiring termination at the indoor and outdoor units to ensure a tight and secure fitting of the low voltage and high voltage wiring. Tested both heating and cooling modes to ensure new solenoid was operating as designed. Everything is working at this time.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one gas furnace heating system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. Changed out one 20x30x1 air filter in the ceiling and installed two new AA batteries in the Honeywell thermostat in the hall. Everything is working at this time.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one gas furnace heating system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. I did take apart the condensate pump to clean as it had a significant amount of build up inside. I also added a drain treatment into the pump as well to help with future buildup. Everything is working at this time.

Performed semiannual maintenance on two heat pump heating systems. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. I did note, on the southeast side heat pump system, that the refrigerant levels are lower than where they should be for operation. I changed out two 20x25x4 air filters that were provided by the homeowner during the maintenance visit. Also made sure both return air ionizers were operating as designed. Everything is working at this time.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one gas heating system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. I did change out one 20x25x4 air filter that the homeowner provided me with. I also went through the system and sealed up any air straws that the furnace had to help ensure proper air sealing of the unit. Verified everything was operating within manufacture specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.

Performed a heater tune-up. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared the drain line and flow tested the system with two gallons of water. I also treated the drain line. The control wiring on the furnace control board was tightened. No other major issues were found, and the system is running at the completion of service.

HVAC Installation Service – I installed a new energy-efficient Lennox HVAC system in a client's home, upgrading from an old, inefficient unit. This involved setting up a variable-speed heat pump for optimized temperature control and enhanced comfort. After the installation, I conducted performance checks and set up a smart thermostat to help the homeowner maximize energy savings.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one gas heating system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. Adjusted fuel pressure of the furnace to ensure 100% heating capacity output. Installed new and higher quality wiring connectors on the high voltage line feeding the furnace power. Ran a combustion analysis of the system to ensure the system is running at peak efficiency and is operating within range. I also drew an arrow for the filter direction to ensure that the filter is installed properly facing the correct orientation. Everything is working at this time.

Performed heater tune-up. No major issues found, and the system is operational at this time.
