Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

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 checked. I did find the outdoor fan motor leaking lubricant. I also found in rush amps to the compressor exceeding manufacturers limitations. The system was cooling at completion of service.

Installed 3.5 ton Carrier R-454B heat pump system with electric heat kit. Installed EcoBee pro thermostat. Built and installed new return plenum and extended supply plenum. Sealed all ductwork connections with mastic/hardcast. Rebuilt primary condensation drain line going into a 1.5 inch vent pipe. Added SS2 and SS3 safety switches. Cleared and primed with water. Installed new secondary drain pan and added insulation to the secondary PVC. New disconnect box/wiring and pad for the condenser. Pressure tested system with nitrogen and pulled vacuum. Charged AC with R-454B refrigerant. Tested heating and cooling operation of new system. Everything is working at completion of install.

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 homeowner and they chose to have the system charged with refrigerant. I added 4lbs of R-410A to the system and brought the system up to 10 degrees of sub cooling. The system was running at the completion of service.

Performed AC cool check. Checked the electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared the condensation drain line and flow tested the drain with two gallons of water. I also treated the drain line. The air filters were clean and had been recently replaced by the homeowner. No major issues were found. The system was running at the completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier two stage cooling 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 replaced recently and is clean. No major issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier Infinity 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 replaced recently and is fairly clean. I did find the outdoor fan motor is developing a hot spot. No other issues were found. ICM voltage monitor is on and working. The system is operational at this time.

Performed AC cooling check. Checked the electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared the condensation drain line and flow tested the drain with two gallons of water. I also treated the drain line. The air filters were clean and had been recently replaced by the homeowner. I did find that the ductwork has an extreme airflow restriction on the supply side of the system. Checking the static pressure revealed that the static pressure was .9 and the max stay pressure for the system is .5 I spoke with the homeowners about what I had found and the age of the system. The system was running at the completion of service.

Diagnostics found the outdoor torque booster had failed. I also found a pitted contactor and a dirty condenser coil. I went over my findings with the homeowner and due to the age of the system, she chose to just replace the torque booster today. I replaced the torque booster. I also replaced the air filter. I then function checked the system. The system is cooling at time of departure.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier Infinity straight cooling system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and cleaned the exterior of the furnace. Secured outdoor compressor wiring and washed the outdoor coil. Filters were replaced recently by the homeowner and are clean. Outdoor surge protector is on and working. I did find the condenser breaker is oversized for the system. The system is rated for a maximum size of 40A and currently has a 50A. No other major issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier heat pump system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Replaced the air filter with a client supplied filter. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and cleaned the exterior of the air handler. Verified outdoor compressor wiring is secure and washed the outdoor coil. I did find the indoor coil is developing rust and could be prone to a refrigerant leak in the future. Also found the compressor is rattling intermittently on start up. No other issues were found. All UV lights are working. The system is operational at this time.

Removed existing supply and return plenums. Removed all triangle satellite boxes. Built and installed new extended supply plenum and new return plenums. Made all supply ducts dedicated home runs to the new supply plenum. Reattached all ductwork to the new plenums and sealed all connections with mastic/hardcast. Tested operation of system. Everything is working at completion of service.

Diagnosed that the outdoor unit was not operational due to the float switch filling with water. After testing the condensate drain, I determined it to be clogged. I called the homeowner and received authorization to complete the work. Drain line was cleared, treated, and re-primed with water. The system is operational at the completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on the upstairs Carrier straight cool system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line. Replaced the AprilAire 210 filter with a client supplied filter and washed the outdoor coil. I also took a quick look at the downstairs 2007 Goodman system. I flushed the drain line as well since both systems are next to each other. I did find the outdoor fan motor and starter relay are showing wear and tear. Did also ask the homeowners to keep an eye on this system due to its age. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Performed AC cool check. Checked the electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared the condensation drain line and flow tested the drain with two gallons of water. I also treated the drain line. At the condenser, I found that the capacitor was below value. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and he chose to have the capacitor replaced. I replaced the capacitor and function tested the system. The system was running at the completion of service.
