HVAC Service In Buda, TX

Diagnostics found blower motor faulty which caused a massive amount of ice both on the internal coil and the heat pump unit. I presented options for blower motor replacement to the homeowners. At this time they have selected to replace the faulty blower motor. I replaced the blower motor and cycled the system on to verify the blower motor operating properly.

On arrival I spoke with the homeowners, who informed me that they felt the east side system was blowing warm air at times and was not cooling properly. I found the primary drain line was clogged and the water was tripping the water safety switch. This was shutting down the outdoor unit and preventing the system from running long enough to remove heat and humidity in the home. It was about time for the homeowners summer maintenance so I completed it today. I performed an a/c tune-up on both Carrier heat pump systems. Cleared and treated both drain lines as part of the tune-up and at no charge to the homeowner. Did notice some rust starting to develop at the indoor coils which could be prone to a refrigerant leak in the future. No other issues were found. Both systems are operational at this time.

Installed new single stage variable speed heat pump system. Replaced supply air plenum in attic and rehung and supported ducting. Added plywood overlay and 910 media filter cabinet. Also added new SS-2 safety switch and Installed new Ecobee thermostat and verified system operation. Everything is working at completion of install.

Diagnostics found the primary drain for the main AC unit was clogged, tripping the float switch and preventing the heat pump from coming on. I went over repair options with the homeowner and he chose to have the drain clog removed and the drain line flushed and treated. I cleared, flushed, and treated the drain line and then function checked the system. The system was cooling at completion of service.

AC cool check was completed on the mother-in-law suite system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were found operating within manufacturer specifications. No major issues were found. The system was cooling at completion of service.

Diagnostics found the float switch tripped, which is shutting off power to the system. Kathleen chose to have me clear and treat the drain line. I also went over how to help prevent clogs in the future. After clearing and treating the drain, I cycled the system to verify proper operation. Everything is working at completion of service.

Performed AC cooling checks. Checked the electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the systems. I cleared the condensation drain lines and flow tested the drains with two gallons of water. I also treated the drain lines. The air filters were clean and had been recently replaced by the homeowner. I cleaned the condenser coils. No major issues were found. The systems were running at the completion of service.

Service diagnostic found that the power to the furnace in the attic was off. I restored power to the system and while checking over the rest of the system, I found that the capacitor for the condenser unit was failing. The capacitor was below half value and was not reliably starting the compressor. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and she chose to have the capacitor replaced. I replaced the capacitor and function tested the system. The system was running at the completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Lennox zoned straight cool system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line. Verified outdoor compressor wiring is secure and washed the outdoor coil. Did recommend leaving the fan setting on the thermostat set to auto to help with humidity levels in the home. Also found the air purifier was not plugged into the Solaris power control. I plugged it in and verified all breathe easy systems are working. No major issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Installed SS2 and SS3 safety float switches. Cleared drain and verified operation. Reattached existing duct work and sealed with mastic. Replaced disconnect and whip at outdoor condensing unit. Ran low voltage in 1/2 inch seal tite. Pressure tested system with nitrogen and pulled a vacuum. Weighed in additional charge. Function checked the system. Everything is working at completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier Infinity heat pump system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. Filters were replaced with client supplied filters. Did recommend having a ICM Voltage Monitor installed outside to help protect all the outdoor electrical components. No major issues were found. The system is operational at this time

Diagnostics found the copper line in the attic used as the primary drain coming off the condensation pump had a pinhole leak, which was dripping all the way down to the garage floor next to the unit. I went over my findings and the homeowner has approved the repairs. I cut out a 5 foot section of copper where I believe the leak was starting and replaced 12 foot of clear rubber hose to resolve the issue. Once repairs were done I did have the homeowner pour water into the condensation pump to verify no leaks coming from the repaired section. No issues were found with the air conditioner itself. The system was running at completion of service.

Installed new 2 stage heat 2 stage cool LP gas furnace, cased coil, and outdoor straight AC. Added new return air and supply air plenums. Replaced upstairs iboxes and removed triangles. Sealed connection points and installed registers. Also added 2 new duct runs to the two bedroom closets. Verified system operation in cooling and heat. Everything is working at completion of install.

AC cool check was completed on a horizontal heat pump. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were found operating within manufacturer specifications. The system is cooling properly at time of departure.

AC cool check was completed on a vertical heat pump. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were found within manufacturer specifications. No major issues were found. The system is cooling at completion of service.

System refrigerant empty on arrival. Installed new evaporator coil and new liquid line filter drier in the attic. Insulated the sensing bulb. Sealed new coil to the existing furnace and supply duct work with mastic/hardcast. Cleared primary condensation drain with CO2 and primed with water. Pressure tested system with nitrogen and pulled vacuum. Disassembled the condenser and thoroughly cleaned the condenser coil with Blackhawk and water. Charged AC with 7 lbs 1oz of R-410A refrigerant. Tested operation of system. Everything is working at completion of service.

Pumped down existing refrigerant to the condenser. Removed blower motor and evaporator coil from the air handler. Cleaned the blower motor housing and wheel and reinstalled.
