AC cool check was completed on a vertical straight cool communicating system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were found within manufacturers specifications. Refrigerant levels were also found at proper levels. After completing the maintenance, I did call the homeowner to visit with her about all findings. The unit was on and cooling properly at time of departure.

I performed an AC cool check on the HVAC system. I inspected all high- and low-voltage electrical connections and verified that they were properly tightened and secure. I inspected the blower wheel and found no significant buildup or signs of biological growth. The condensate drain line was flushed with CO₂ and warm water to ensure proper drainage and verify that there were no blockages. The run capacitor was tested and found to be within the manufacturer’s specifications. The contactor was inspected and showed no signs of excessive pitting or arcing. I cleaned the coil both inside and outside to remove any buildup and help maintain proper airflow and system efficiency. Refrigerant pressures were also checked and found to be within the appropriate operating specifications. After completing the maintenance, I ran the system and verified that it is cooling properly at this time.

Diagnostics found the primary drain line completely clogged, sending water into the float switch which was killing control voltage to the outdoor unit. I also found the outdoor torque booster below manufacturers recommended charge. I did go over all findings with the homeowner and repair options. She chose to have her drain line cleared, flushed, and treated. After clearing, flushing, and treating the drain, I cycled the system on to verify proper operation. The system was cooling at completion of service.

AC cool check was completed on a horizontal straight cool system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were examined. Refrigerant was also checked. I did find the blower motor leaking lubricant. I went over my findings and repair options with the homeowner. At this time, she has opted to have her blower motor replaced. I replaced the blower motor and cycled the system on to verify proper operation. Before leaving, I made sure the disconnect was in and the thermostat was set to the homeowner's preference. The system was cooling at completion of service.

Performed a semi-annual maintenance inspection on the HVAC systems. I inspected all high- and low-voltage electrical connections and verified that they were properly tightened and secure. I inspected the blower wheels and evaporator coils and found no significant buildup or signs of biological growth. The condensate drain lines were flushed . The run capacitors were tested and found to be within the manufacturer’s specifications. The contactors were inspected and showed no signs of excessive pitting or arcing. I cleaned the outdoor condenser coils, both inside and outside to remove any buildup and help maintain proper airflow and system efficiency. Refrigerant pressures were also checked and found to be within the appropriate operating specifications. The systems are cooling at completion of service.

Upon arrival, I found the 24-volt fuse blown. I inspected the system to determine the cause and found that the float switch was functioning properly and the thermostat was operating as intended. While troubleshooting the low-voltage wiring to the condenser, I found that the fuse was blowing when the condenser signal was energized. During a visual inspection of the condenser wiring, I discovered that the pressure switch wiring was arcing against the copper refrigerant line, causing the 24-volt fuse to blow. I repaired the issue by insulating the affected wiring and installing a piece of Armaflex around the copper line to prevent further contact. I then secured the wiring away from the refrigerant line with zip ties. After completing the repair, I restored power and operated the system. I monitored the system operation and checked the refrigerant pressures, which were within the manufacturer’s specified operating range. No additional issues were found.

Diagnostics found the critical issue of a failed outdoor torque booster. While diagnosing system, I did also find a dirty evaporator coil. I went over my findings and repair options with the homeowner and she chose to have the outdoor torque booster replaced today. After the torque booster was replaced, the system was cycled on to verify proper operation. The system is cooling at completion of service.

Arrived to find the emergency drain pan full of water, which was tripping the float switch. I also found a portion of the vapor line without insulation and an air filter that was ready to be replaced. I did visit with the homeowner about all my findings. At this time she has chosen to move forward with the drain line service. I cleared the drain and verified the drain line is clean and clear of obstructions. I also removed all water from the emergency drain pan. The air filter was replaced. I also properly insulated the section of vapor line. Function tested the system and the system is cooling at completion of service.

Installed Carrier 3 ton system. Installed new supply and return plenums. Installed new secondary drain pan. Rebuilt and insulated primary drain. Installed SS2 and SS3 safety float switches. Cleared drain and verified operation. Rebuilt gas sediment trap and installed new gas flex. Reattatched all existing duct work and sealed with mastic. Installed new Ecobee thermostat. Installed new disconnect and whip outside. Ran low voltage in 1/2 inch seal tite. Installed new condenser pad. Pressure tested lineset and pulled a vacuum. Weighed in additional refrigerant to meet manufacturer specifications. Function tested system. Everything is working at completion of install.

Service diagnostic found that the condensation drain line was clogged. Water had backed up into the safety switch and shut down the system. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner, he chose to have the drain line cleared. I cleared the drain line and flow tested the drain with water. I also treated the drain line. I function tested the system and the system was running at the completion of service.

Service diagnostic found that the capacitor on the condenser unit had failed. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and they chose to have the capacitor replaced. I replaced the capacitor and function tested the system. The system was running at the completion of service.

Service diagnostic found that the blower motor had failed. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner. He chose to have the motor replaced. I replaced the blower motor and function tested the system. The system was running at the completion of service.

Removed TXV and old filter drier. Brazed in filter drier and replaced TXV. Pressurized lineset with nitrogen and checked using micro leak detector. Re sealed coil using mastic and hard cast. Upon a successful pressure test, pulled a vacuum on the copper lineset. Weighed in refrigerant to meet manufacturer specifications on the equipment tag. Cleared drain and verified operation. Everything is operational 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. Return air filters are dirty. The blower motor capacitor is below rated value. Also found the indoor coil is rusting and can be prone to a refrigerant leak in the future. No other major issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Service diagnostic found that the capacitor on the condenser unit had failed. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner. 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.
