Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Performed semiannual maintenance on one AC cooling system and inspected all performance, mechanical, and safety systems. Tested and verified everything was operating within manufacturer specifications for operation. Changed out two 12x24x1" air filters provided by the homeowner. Cleaned and cleared the primary condensate line that runs to the upstairs bathroom sink. I cleaned the outdoor condensing coils to help ensure proper heat transfer. No major issues were found. Everything is working at this time.

Performed a single system AC check on a Lennox system. I found the capacitor was below manufacture specs. I presented the homeowner with repair options. Heather chose to replace the capacitor, and I completed the repair. No other major issues were found. The system is cooling properly at this time.

Performed AC cool check and checked the electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared the drain line and flow tested the drain with two gallons of water. I also treated the drain line. I replaced the air filter with a customer supplied filter. Condenser coil was cleaned. No major issues were found. The system was running at the completion of service.

Performed AC tune-up on a Carrier infinity system and 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. Washed the outdoor coil and verified the compressor wiring is secure. I did find the blower wheel is dirty. No other major issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

I performed an AC tune-up on a 10 year-old horizontal Carrier system. All electrical and mechanical components are within manufacturer specs. No major issues were found. The system is cooling properly at this time.

Performed AC tune-up on a Carrier straight cooling system and 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. Filters were replaced recently and are clean. I washed the outdoor unit and secured the compressor wiring to prevent any electrical rub outs. I did find the outdoor starter was pitted at the contacts. I spoke with the homeowner about repair options, and she agreed to have the starter replaced. I replaced the starter and sprayed residual insecticide around it. I then cycled power at the thermostat. The system is operational at this time.

Performed AC cool check and checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared and treated the drain line and flow tested the drain with two gallons of water. Condenser coil was cleaned. I found that the blower motor capacitor is below value. I presented options for repair to the customer. The system was running at the completion of service.

Installed horizontal Carrier gas furnace 36K BTU. Installed Carrier R-454B evaporator coil with transition to furnace. Installed new return and supply plenums, sealed all connections with mastic and hardcast. Rebuilt condensation drain with SS2 and SS3 safety switches. Cleared drain with CO2 and primed with water. Installed new secondary drain pan. Made new flue pipe connection and installed new gas flex along with sediment trap. Installed Carrier 2.5 ton R-454B condenser. Pressure tested system with nitrogen and pulled vacuum. Installed new disconnect and whip for the outdoor unit. Installed Honeywell T6 thermostat. Tested system operation. The system is running at time of departure.

I performed AC cool check of electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared the drain line and flow tested the drain with two gallons of water. The air filter was clean and had been recently replaced by the homeowner. No major issues were found. The system was running at the completion of service.

Performed service diagnostic and found that the condenser fan motor has failed. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and she chose to have the condenser fan motor replaced and to have surge protection installed on the furnace and condenser unit. I replaced the condenser fan motor with a OEM motor. I installed surge protection on the condenser unit and furnace. I function tested the system and the system is now operational.

On arrival I spoke with the homeowner, and she informed me that she would feel a blast of cold air as the furnace turned on. I first adjusted the “fan control settings” on the Ecobee so that the HVAC system is in control instead of the thermostat. This will allow the furnace to heat up and will give a 90 second delay to the blower to prevent the blast of cold air every time the furnace turns on. I then performed a heater tune-up on a Carrier two stage gas 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. The filter was replaced recently and is still in clean condition. I did upsize the high voltage wire nut at the furnace as well. No major issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Installed a Carrier heat pump system. Installed Honeywell thermostat. Installed new extended supply plenum. Installed new return plenum. Sealed all connections with mastic air lock. Rebuilt and insulated primary drain line. Installed SS-2 and SS-3 safety float switches. Pressure tested line set and pulled a vacuum. Replaced disconnect and whip at outdoor condenser. Tested system operation. The system is running at time of departure.

Installed a 2-ton Carrier air handler and R-454B heat pump. Installed new plywood overlay. Rebuilt drain line, cleared with CO2 and tested/primed with water. Installed new supply plenum/transition and sealed all connections with mastic. Pressure tested line set with nitrogen and pulled a vacuum. Installed Honeywell T6 thermostat. Installed new disconnect for the outdoor condenser. Added 13oz of R-454B charge according to line set length. Tested heating and cooling operation.

Replaced return plenum and ran new 14” flex. Built a custom extended supply plenum and sealed all connections with mastic air lock. Removed satellite plenums and installed sheet metal wyes. Hung all ducting for better air flow. Everything is operational at this time.

Service diagnostic found that the fan relay control board was not consistently running the fan. Further investigation found that the board would run the fan around half the time in auxiliary heating, but most of the time in fan only and not at all in heating with the heat pump. The fan board would also randomly shut down the fan. I traced back the signal voltage to confirm that the board was the issue. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner, and he chose to have the relay board replaced. I replaced the fan relay control board and function tested the system. The fan is now operating normally.
