Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Upon arrival, I noticed that the indoor system was running, as well as outdoor system fan motor. Compressor was not running and therefore not pumping refrigerant. Put gauges on the system and checked all electrical and mechanical components. I found that the capacitor has fallen below value on the compressor side. Presented my findings to the homeowners and they agreed to move forward with repairs. Replaced capacitor and tested system. Everything is working upon completion of repairs.

Upon arrival, I noticed that the outdoor system was not running and the indoor system was. There was a faint, humming sound coming from condenser. Continued diagnostic on the outside system’s mechanical and electrical components. Found that the capacitor, as well as starter, are way below value. Brought to the customer’s attention and they chose to have both components replaced. Repairs completed and system running at time of departure.

Replaced suction line service valve and liquid line filter dryer. Pressure tested with nitrogen and pulled a vacuum on the copper line set. Weighed in factory charge and verified system was to manufacturer specifications. Removed outdoor paneling and cleaned condensing coil. Everything working at this time.

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the condensate drain line was clogged. Options for repair were presented to the customer and they chose to have the drain line cleared and to sign back up for maintenance. Drain line was cleared and flow tested with water. Drain line was treated. System was function checked and was running at the time of departure.

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the blower motor was off balance causing it to vibrate and make noise. I removed the blower housing from the furnace and found a dead mouse inside the blower wheel. Options for repair were presented to the customer and they chose to have the blower wheel and housing cleaned and join our maintenance plan. Mouse was removed, blower wheel was cleaned and the system was function checked. The blower is no longer vibrating and making loud noise. System was running at the time of departure.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one cooling system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Verified everything was operating within the manufacture’s specifications for operation.

Replaced the indoor TXV. Replaced the inline filter dryer, pressure tested with dry nitrogen and pulled a vacuum on the copper line set. Charged system to factory specs and checked operation of the system. The system is working properly at this time.

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the blower wheel is dirty and the condenser fan motor is showing signs of overheating. Options for repair were presented to the customer and they chose to have the condenser fan motor replaced and the blower wheel cleaned. Condenser fan motor was replaced and the blower wheel was cleaned. System was function checked and was running at the time of departure.

Performed diagnostic. I found that the outdoor capacitor has failed on the herm side. I replaced the capacitor and cycled the thermostat. The system is now working.

Performed diagnostic. I found that the primary drain line was clogged and had tripped the float switch. I cleared, treated and tested the drain line with a gallon of water. No other major issues were found. System is on and running at this time.

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the capacitor on the condenser unit has failed. Options for repair were presented to the customer and they chose to have the capacitor replaced today. Capacitor was replaced and the system was function checked. System was running at the time of departure.

Performed the AC tune-up. Cleared and treated the drain line. Condenser coil clean. No major issues found.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one cooling system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Verified everything was operating within the manufacture’s specifications for operation. Outside condenser refrigerant pressures are within range and condenser cleaned. Indoor system drain line cleared and treated. Filters had already been changed by homeowner before arrival

On arrival I found the condensing unit that services the upstairs thermostat failing to pass 240v across the contactor. I opened up the contactor and found ants had gotten inside the contacts preventing power from making a complete path across. Installed new contactor starter and treated the electrical system with ant spray. I then reset the cooling system and tested operations. System is a 16-year-old R-22 system and I did let the homeowner know of the R-22 refrigerant concern. At this time, the suction line is at 55° and the upstairs area is cooling. Did inform her and let her know of any future repairs with the concerns of the age and condition of system. Everything is working at this time.

Found the outdoor run capacitor has failed across all terminals resulting in the compressor not being able to turn on and pump refrigerant throughout the mode fan coil. Recommended replacing the outdoor run capacitor to return the system back to operation and ensure 100% cooling capacity. Installed new outdoor run capacitor and inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Did find the outdoor low voltage wiring connectors to be loose inside the electrical panel. I tightened and secured the wiring to help ensure no electrical shorts with the low voltage system. Verified everything was operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Rinsed out the outdoor unit to ensure proper heat transfer and changed one filter at the filter base with a homeowner supplied filter since the one currently in use had some dust build up which was not allowing for complete airflow across the indoor fan coil. Everything is working at this time.
