The homeowner chose to have the contactor replaced as well. Replaced the contactor and cycled power on the system. Repaired some wiring connections that were starting to show signs of overheating. I also cleared and treated both drain lines at no additional charge.

AC cool check was completed on a vertical straight cool system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were checked, along with refrigerant levels. I did find the indoor torque booster below value. I also found the indoor blower motor leaking lubricant. The system was cooling at completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier straight cool system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. Filter was fairly clean and in good shape. No major issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

I flushed and cleared the condensate drain line using hot water and nitrogen. The blower motor was inspected and found to be free of buildup, with no signs of biological growth. The indoor furnace was inspected and no issues were found. I checked the refrigeration charge and confirmed that it was within specifications. The condenser was thoroughly washed inside and out. The contactor was inspected and found to be operating properly. The condenser fan motor showed signs of overheating After completing the maintenance, I restarted the system. The system started and is operating and cooling at this time.

Installed new heat pump single stage system with air handler. Added new filter base and rebuilt drain line with SS2 safety switch. Added new line filter drier and pressure tested system for extensive leak check. Pulled deep vacuum and weighed in factory charge. Installed new upstairs supply air plenum and reattached all ducting. Function checked the system. The system is running at completion of install.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Lennox straight cool system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Trane heat pump system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and replaced the return air filters with client supplied filters. Washed the outdoor coil and replaced the outdoor high voltage wire nut that was starting to crack.

Service diagnostic found the primary drain line was clogged. This was tripping the water safety switch and causing the outdoor system to shut down. Spoke with the homeowner and he chose to have the drain line serviced today. I cleared and treated the drain line and tested it with 3 gallons of water. Verified water was flowing outside and then I function tested the system. The homeowner was concerned about a noise the outdoor system makes when shutting down. I cycled power a few times and was not able to hear any abnormal noises. The system is operational at this time.

Removed the outdoor fan motor. Installed new fan motor and programmed it to the correct speed. Removed the outdoor starter relay. Installed new starter relay and secured all wiring terminals.

Completed the AC cooling check. Performed a complete inspection of the system’s high-voltage and low-voltage electrical wiring and tightened all low-voltage connections as needed. Inspected the blower motor and evaporator coil and found no signs of buildup or biological growth. Flushed the condensate drain line with hot water and used nitrogen to clear and ensure proper drainage. Thoroughly washed the condenser coil from the inside out to remove dirt and debris. Inspected the run capacitor and confirmed it was within manufacturer specifications. The contactor was also inspected and found to be in good condition. Refrigerant pressures were checked and found to be within the manufacturer’s specified operating range. After completing the maintenance, the system was restarted and tested. The system is operating properly and cooling as expected at this time.

AC cool check was completed on a horizontal straight cool system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. Mechanical and electrical components were tested. Refrigerant levels were also checked. I did find the outdoor torque booster well below manufacturers recommended limit. The original contactor to the system is charred and pitted. I did discuss all findings with the homeowner and went over repair options. System was verified on and cooling before departure.

Diagnostics for the system found that the primary condensation drain line was clogged, sending water into the secondary float switch which had killed the power to the heat pump.
