Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Diagnostics found the outdoor torque booster had completely failed. I was able to get a hold of the homeowner, who is currently on vacation. The conversation was cut short due to poor phone service. However, he did give approval to replace the torque booster. I replaced the torque booster and cycled the system on to verify proper operation before departure. At homeowners request, I have set both thermostats to 75°.

I replaced the contactor on the condenser and installed the new soft start kit. The system was then cycled on to verify proper operation. Everything was working at completion of service.

AC cool check was completed on a vertical straight cool 2 zone system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were checked, along with refrigerant levels. No major issues were found. The system was cooling at completion of service.

I cleaned the air handler and evaporator coil. I also cleared the drain line and flow tested the drain with water. The drain line was treated and the air filter was replaced. I function tested the system and the system was running at the completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Lennox 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. No major issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Service diagnostic found that the condenser fan motor had failed. I also found that the contactor in the condenser unit and the capacitor for the condenser unit were below value. Options for repair were presented to the homeowners. They chose to have the condenser fan motor, contactor and capacitor replaced. I installed the new condenser fan motor, contactor, and capacitor and function tested the system. The system was running at the completion of service.

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 filter was replaced with a client supplied filter. The condenser coil was cleaned. No major issues were found. The system was running at the 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. Did find the indoor evaporator coil is extremely rusted out and prone to a refrigerant leak in the future. The outdoor starter relay is also starting to get pitted. Spoke with the homeowner about this and asked him to keep an eye on the system since it could fail at any moment due to the wear and tear on the coil. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Initial diagnostics found an extremely dirty air filter, extremely dirty outdoor condenser coils, and low refrigerant levels. The outdoor torque booster is below manufacturers recommended value. The compressor is also drawing high in rush amps. At this time, the homeowner has chosen to add the proper amount of refrigerant needed for the system and perform a leak search. Before adding refrigerant, I did clean the outdoor coils at no additional charge and I also removed the air filter which was restricting airflow. I was unable to detect a definitive leak anywhere on the system. The system was cooling at 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 to gallons of water. I also treated the drain line. The air filter was replaced with a client supplied filter. The condenser coil was cleaned. No major issues were found. The system was running at the completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on an American Standard 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. Did find the indoor evaporator coil is developing rust spots and is prone to a refrigerant leak in the future. At the outdoor system I found the starter relay is getting pitted at the contacts and the compressor is also developing a hot spot. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

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

erformed 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. Did find the downstairs sink that the primary drain line runs into is clogged up. Recommended having a plumber out to unclog the sink to allow proper drainage for the HVAC system. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Diagnostics found a clogged primary drain with in-line float switch, which was periodically tripping the heat pump. I went over my findings with the homeowner and he chose to have the drain line cleared. I cleared the drain line and cycled the system on and function tested it. Everything is working at completion of service.
