Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Performed a/c tune-up on a Goodman straight cool system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line. Cleaned the exterior of the air handler and washed the outdoor coil. Did find the TXV was installed on the exterior of the evaporator coil cabinet and the condensation was dripping on the furnace and in the closet. I tried insulating the TXV with foam tape insulation to help prevent any sweating. Also found the outdoor capacitor is starting to deplete but still within manufacturer specifications for operation. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

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. Cleaned the exterior of the air handler and washed the outdoor coil. Did find the indoor evaporator coil is rusting and could be prone to a refrigerant leak in the future. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Diagnostic found the primary drain clogged, tripping the float switch and killing voltage to the condenser. Homeowner choose to have the drain flushed, cleared, and treated. After clearing, flushing, and treating the drain the system was cycled on to verify proper operation. This is an upflow system and the drain drops below the pier and beam home. Neither homeowner nor I could locate where the drain terminates. I did inform him that he could continue to have drain issues depending on what condition the drain line under the house is. The system was cooling at completion of service.

Diagnosed a tripped float switch due to an excessive amount of zoogloea buildup in the condensate drain. I cleared the drain and flushed with four gallons of water. I then treated the drain with Viper. I also added a little stick of silver solder into the primary drain to help combat the zoogloea growth. The system is operational at the completion of service.

Service diagnostic found the primary drain line was clogged. This was causing the water safety switch to trip intermittently and send inconsistent voltage to the outdoor system. Spoke with the homeowner and she chose to have the drain line serviced. I cleared and treated the drain line and tested it with two gallons of water. Mrs. Hollis verified the sink was clear and draining. Did inform the homeowner the system was manufactured in 1997 and due to the age of the system there could be major issues in the near future. She is aware of this and will keep an eye on the system. The system is operational at completion of service.

AC cool check was completed on a vertical straight cool system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components are operating within manufacturer specifications. The system was cooling at completion of service.

Diagnosed a shorted fuse in the air handler. While trying to find the issue, I discovered that the thermostat wiring behind the thermostat had not been trimmed down and there was an exposed common wire. I cut that wire down and tucked it back into a spot where it would no longer be a problem. Replaced the fuse and system came on and is operating properly. The system is running at completion of service.

I performed a leak check and did not find a leak in the system. I did find that the capacitor for the blower motor was below value and the insulation on the door panel had come loose and was being sucked into the blower wheel. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and she chose to have the capacitor replaced. I secured the insulation on the door panel and replaced the capacitor for the blower motor. I function tested the system and the system was running at the completion of service.

Service diagnostic found the outdoor disconnect box was not passing power through to the outdoor system. Also found the outdoor capacitor had failed. Spoke with the homeowner on the phone and he chose to have the disconnect box and outdoor capacitor replaced. After replacing both components, I also cleared and treated the drain line at no additional cost to the homeowner. Function tested the system and it is now operational. Did inform the homeowner that the outdoor fan motor is leaking lubricant but still working for now.

Diagnostic found the outdoor torque booster had failed on the downstairs unit. I went over repair options and the homeowner chose to to have the torque booster replaced today and sign up for a two system silver maintenance. I replaced the torque booster and function checked the system. The system was cooling at completion of service.

AC cool check was completed on a horizontal heat pump system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were found within manufacturer specifications. No major issues were found. The system is cooling properly at time of departure.

Service diagnostic found that the capacitor for the condenser unit had failed. The air handler and evaporator coil were also found to be dirty. Options for repair were presented to the homeowners. They 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.

Built and installed new supply plenum with new 16x16 damper fitted inside for zone 1 upstairs. Reconnected existing upstairs supply ductwork to the new plenum and sealed connections with mastic. Rewired the zone control board and new damper. Tested operation of system and all of the zoning equipment. Everything is working at 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 and to sign up for maintenance. I replaced the 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 had been recently replaced by the homeowner. I cleaned the condenser coil. No major issues were found. The system was running at the completion of service.
