Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Installed Payne heat pump. Installed Ecobee thermostat. Installed Plywood overlay. Installed new supply plenum. Installed new exterior disconnect and whip. Pressure tested lineset and pulled a vacuum. Rebuilt and identified primary drain line. Weighed in additional refrigerant as needed. Tested system operation. Everything is working at completion of install.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier heat pump system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and cleaned the exterior of the air handler. Verified outdoor compressor wiring is secure and washed the outdoor coil. I did find the system has high return air static. The outdoor fan motor has a hotspot and the compressor is pulling high amps on start up. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

During the diagnostic, I found the contactor low voltage coil had shorted. Because the coil was shorted, the low voltage fuse had failed and nothing would come on. I replaced the contactor with a brand new one and tested the system. The system came on and was working. I did find biological growth on the air handler and recommend getting that cleaned. Everything is working at completion of service.

Cool check completed on a horizontal straight cool system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were checked. I did find high amps on the outdoor condenser fan motor exceeding manufacturers limitations. I also noticed there is no surge protection on the indoor or outdoor unit. I spoke with the customer about repair options. The system was working 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 two gallons of water. I also treated the drain line. The air filters were replaced with client supplied filters. No major issues were found. The system was running at the completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier heat pump system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and the primary pan. Secured outdoor compressor wiring and washed the outdoor coil. I did find the indoor coil is extremely rusted and prone to a refrigerant leak in the future. At the outdoor system I found the starter is pitted at the contacts and the disconnect switch is arcing at times when it’s pushed in. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Trane straight cool system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and cleaned the exterior of the furnace. I did find the static pressure on the return side ducting is higher than recommended. Due to the location of the system there is not a lot of room for ducting improvements. No other issues were found. All UV lights, air ionizers and surge protection devices are working. The system is operational at this time.

Pumped down and removed old condenser, re ran the route of the copper and reinsulated the suction line. Brazed in new copper while flowing nitrogen and pressure tested the system after. Pulled a vacuum and passed decay test then released refrigerant. Installed new disconnect along with the 1/2” whip and also ran low voltage in 1/2” seal tight. Installed new indoor furnace and case coil with new supply plenum. Also replaced old wood return box and fixed combustion air. Added new filter base, and rebuilt drain line with SS-2 safety switch. Performed duct cleaning on whole home, and verified system operation. Everything working at this time.

Performed heat 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 filters were clean and had been recently replaced by the homeowner. No major issues were found. 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 and cleaned the exterior of the furnace. Secured outdoor compressor wiring to prevent any wire rub outs and washed the outdoor coil. I did find the outdoor capacitor had failed on the herm side preventing the compressor from running. I also found the system has high static pressure but due to the location of the system there is no space for improvements. Spoke with the homeowner and she chose to have the capacitor replaced. I replaced the outdoor capacitor and function tested the system. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Performed heater tune-up on a two stage Carrier furnace system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and cleaned the exterior of the furnace. At the outdoor system, I found the outdoor fan motor has a hot spot and the compressor is pulling high amps on start up. No other issues were found. The system is operational.

Service diagnostic found that the low voltage fuse was blown. I went through the system and found that the contactor on the condenser unit was shorting when it received signal to run. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and she chose to have the contractor replaced and to sign up for maintenance. I replaced the contractor and function tested the system. The system was running at the completion of service.

Performed heat 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 filters were replaced with client supplied filters. No major issues were found. The system was running at the completion of service.

On arrival, I found the attic tent is coming apart around the zipper area which is preventing access to the attic. I cut the tent in order to access the attic and taped it back to prevent any heat gain in the home. Performed heater tune-up on a Carrier furnace system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and cleaned the exterior of the air handler. Spoke with the homeowner about the attic tent and she chose to have the attic tent replaced. Removed old attic tent. Installed new attic tent. Homeowner had purchased a new return air grille and I replaced it at no additional cost. I also sealed around the air filter to prevent any filter bypass. The system is operational at this time.

Heat check completed on a vertical heat pump system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were checked. The system does not have surge protection. I also found in rush amps to the compressor exceeding manufacturers limitations. No other issues were found. The system is working at completion of service.
