Driftwood TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Installed new ductless system. Ran new control wire, drain line, and copper tubing in line-hide. Mounted unit to pad and verified system operation. Everything is working at completion of install.

Performed AC cooling check. 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. No major issues were found. The systems were running at the completion of service.

Diagnostics found the in-line float switch was periodically shutting off control voltage to the condenser due to a partial clog in the drain line. I did visit with the homeowner about her critical issue and overall system condition. She chose to have her drain line cleared, flushed, and treated today. I cleared, flushed, and treated the drain line and then cycled the system to verify proper operation. The system is running at completion of service.

Service diagnostic found that the system was low on refrigerant. I performed a leak check and did not find a leak in the system. Options for repair were presented to the homeowners. They chose to add refrigerant to the system and to sign up for maintenance. I added 5 lbs of R-410A to the system and brought the sub cooling up to 10 degrees of sub cooling. The system was running at the completion of service.

Service diagnostic found that the condensation drain line was clogged. Water had backed up into the safety switch and shut down the system. I cleared the drain line and function tested the system. The system is now operational. I performed an AC cool check on two systems. No major issues were found. The systems were running at the 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. I found the capacitor for the condenser unit of system 3 was below value. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and she chose to have the capacitor replaced today. I replaced the capacitor and function tested the system. No other major issues were found. The systems were running at the completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier 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. Replaced the air filter with a client supplied filter. Did find the blower wheel is accumulating dirt/dust. At the outdoor system, I found the capacitor is starting to deplete but is still within range for operation. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

AC cooling maintenance completed on four vertical dual fuel systems. All drain lines were flushed and treated. All outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were checked along with cleanliness of units. I did find that all the furnaces and evaporator coils were coated in what I believe is drywall dust due to the HVAC system running while the house was being built. I went over my findings with the homeowner. No other issues were found. The systems were all running at completion of service.

Built satellite plenum and upsized master bedroom. Tested operation of all systems and equipment. Everything is working

Service diagnostic found the downstairs Lennox system was blank at the thermostat. I found the drain line was clogged and the float switch had tripped and shut off power to the unit. I also found the blower wheel is dirty and blower capacitor is below value. The air handler breaker is also rusted. The outdoor capacitor and starter are also showing wear and tear. I cleared and treated both drain lines for both systems since they are next to each other. Verified both systems are working. I did also adjust the fan setting to the off position on the Ecobee thermostat to help lower humidity in the home for the upstairs system.
