Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Removed all old flex runs and built and installed new supply and return plenums. Installed 3 new buckets and sealed all new and existing buckets with mastic. Ran new flex and installed with dampers at the plenum. Installed new 20x20 return and ran new 16” flex back to the system. The system is cooling at completion of service.

Performed AC cooling check on two systems. 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 filter was replaced with a client supplied filter. The mini split filters were cleaned. I cleaned both condenser coils. No major issues were found. The systems were running at the completion of service.

Installed 3 ton Carrier R-454B heat pump system with electric heat kit. Vertical air handler in closet. Installed EcoBee pro thermostat. Transitioned new air handler to existing supply trunk and sealed connections with mastic/hardcast. Installed new plywood overlay for the air handler to sit on. New disconnect box and wiring for the condenser. Rebuilt primary condensation drain, added secondary safety switch. Cleared with CO2 and primed with water. Pressure tested system with nitrogen and pulled vacuum. Installed new return air filter grill 20x20. Cleaned out return chase underneath the air handler. Charged AC with R-454B refrigerant. Tested operation of new system. Everything is working at completion of install.

Diagnostics found a faulty outdoor torque booster. I went over repair options and the homeowner chose to replace the torque booster today and sign up for our gold membership. I replaced the torque booster and function checked the system. The system was running at completion of service.

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

Installed 4 ton furnace and condenser. Installed Ecobee thermostat. Replaced return and supply plenums. Replaced secondary drain pan. Rebuilt primary and secondary drain lines. Installed SS2 and SS3 safety switches. Cleared drain and verified operation. Installed new disconnect and whip at outdoor condensing system. Reinsulated suction line. Pressurized lineset once it was brazed in and pulled a vacuum on a successful pressure test. Ran low voltage in 1/2 inch seal tite and weighed in additional refrigerant to meet manufacturer specifications. Tested system operation. Everything is working at completion of install.

Diagnosed water in the drain pan from a restricted filter. I went to change the filter but there was not another AprilAire to change it with. Cleared the water out of the drain pan and washed condenser off. Function checked the system and it is cooling.

At the beginning of my diagnostics, I found that the breaker had tripped before I arrived. I disconnected the compressor from the circuit and re-established power. The condenser fan motor came on and ran without tripping the breaker. I ohmed through the compressor leg to leg and each leg to ground. All of those checks came out fine. So I re-attached the compressor wires and reestablished power to the condenser. Nothing tripped so I pulled the disconnect and checked the wiring. The service wire to the disconnect is aluminum and it was loose so I tightened that down. I then went back to the main panel and tightened the wires at the breaker. One wire was tight but the other was loose. I believe the condenser was tripping the breaker due to a loose wire connection and now that problem has been corrected. The system was running at completion of service.

Recovered existing refrigerant from the system. Disassembled the outdoor unit and Installed new condenser coil. Installed new liquid line filter drier. Pressure tested system with nitrogen and pulled vacuum. Cleared primary condensation drain and primed trap. Weighed in factory charge of 6.8 lbs R-410A refrigerant. Charged AC to ~8 degrees subcooling. Tested operation of system. Everything is working at completion of service.

Diagnosed a failed capacitor at the condenser. Fan was running but the compressor was not. Scott chose to have the capacitor replaced. I replaced the capacitor and function checked the system. The system is now working.

Diagnosed a clog in the primary drain line. I cleared, flushed and treated the drain and now the system is operational. I did speak with the homeowner about pouring some drain cleaner in the sink the condensate line goes to to help keep it clear.

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. Replaced the AprilAire 210 filter and washed the outdoor coil. Did find the system airflow was not matched with the system tonnage. I lowered the fan speed and the system static pressure dropped from 1.4 in.w.c to .7 in.w.c. This will help with better humidity removal in the home and reduce stress on system components. Did also find the secondary drain pan is not centered under the evaporator coil. If there is a water leak on the coil and furnace connection the water will fall outside of the secondary pan and could cause water damage in the home 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. Replaced the AprilAire 210 filter and washed the outdoor coil. D

Removed and replaced supply air bull-head T. Reused existing zone dampers and sensor. Also reinstalled home purifier. Removed and replaced return air plenum and added new 20x25 Honeywell media filter. Cleared drain line and verified system operation. Everything is working at this time
