Upon arrival, I noticed that the outdoor system was not running, but the indoor system was. Checked over indoor system in the attic. Found that the float switch on the secondary drain pan was tripped due to excessive water. Brought to homeowner’s attention and she decided to move forward with water removal as well as signing up for our maintenance plan. Completed drain service. System operational at this time.

Replaced the 9” duct that feeds the two bedrooms and a bathroom with a 12” that was reduced to a 10” then split up with wyes to feed the rooms. Replaced and upsized the three I-boxes. Added dampers to the wyes for air balancing.

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the capacitor on the condensing unit has a loose fan wire. The capacitor was left in the box and shoved inside the panel. The condenser fan motor is showing signs of overheating. Customer voiced concerns that the blower was making a loud noise. I was unable to get the system to reproduce the noise after cycling it on and off several times. Options for repair were presented to the customer and they chose to have the condenser fan motor replaced. I replaced the condenser fan motor and properly secured the capacitor. I also tightened the wires on the terminals.

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the condensate drain line was clogged. Water had backed up into the safety switch and shut down the system. In addition, there is a large tree growing between the condenser pad and the house. Options for repair were presented to customer and they chose to have the drain line cleared and to sign up for maintenance. He stated that he will have his landscaper take care of the tree. Drain line was cleared and flow tested with water. Drain line was treated. System was f

Installed new evaporator coil. Installed new inline filter dryer, pressure tested with dry nitrogen and pulled a vacuum on the copper line set. Rebuilt condensate drain line and cleared it out. Also added drain treatment to help minimize clogging. Charged system to factory specs and check operation of the system. Washed out condenser to provide best performance. The system is working properly at this time.

Performed diagnostic. I found that the outdoor capacitor has failed. I also informed the customer that I would like to add a float switch/ceiling saver to the secondary drain line to prevent overflow in case the drain clogs. I presented options to repair, and he chose to have the capacitor replaced today and join our annual Gold maintenance plan. The first maintenance visit will be this Fall/Winter. Repair completed and system is operational.

Installed new filter dryer, pressure tested with dry nitrogen and pulled a vacuum on the copper line set. Installed disconnect and replaced whip at outdoor system. Charged system to factory spec. System is working properly at time of departure.

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the condensate drain line was clogged. The capacitor on the condenser unit is below value and the condenser fan motor is showing signs of overheating. Options for repair were presented to the customer and they chose to have the drain cleared today but declined further repairs. Drain was cleared and flow tested with water. Drain line was treated. System was function checked and was running at the time of departure.

On arrival, I noticed that the zone control board located in the attic was not powered on. I did notice all thermostats were up and running with 24v power. I found that the zone control board has failed internally and is receiving low voltage power, however the board failed to power up. Noted that the upstairs damper wiring was never wired in correctly into the failed board. I installed a new zone control board, wired up all thermostats and dampers correctly, reset the HVAC system and tested the cooling functions. Verified system was operating within manufactures specifications for operation. Everything is operating at this time.

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the capacitor on the condenser unit has failed. Secondary drain line is piped in such a way that water is able to back flow into the secondary pan. Options for repair were presented to the customer and they chose to have the capacitor replaced and a safety switch installed in the secondary drain line. They also decided to sign up for our annual maintenance plan. Capacitor was replaced and a safety switch was installed in the secondary drain line. System was function checked and was running at the time of departure.
