Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Heat check performed on a horizontal heat pump system. After checking through the entire system, I found that the outdoor capacitor is well below manufacturer specs. I presented an option to replace the capacitor, and the homeowner has accepted. After replacing the capacitor and finishing up the heat check, the system was cycled and is heating properly at this time.

Service diagnostic found that the flame sensor for the furnace was dirty. Buildup on the flame sensor was preventing flame detection and shutting down the system. I function tested the system and the furnace came on. The hot surface igniter achieved flame ignition but the furnace immediately shut down due to the flames not being detected. The system then gave a code of 34 ignition proving failure. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and she chose to have the flame sensor cleaned. I cleaned the flame sensor and the ignition area in the furnace. I then function tested the system again and the system is now operating normally.

Service diagnostic found that the hot surface igniter had rubbed out and shorted. The wiring for the igniter was broken and the igniter tip was cracked. This prevented ignition of the gas for the furnace. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and he chose to have the igniter replaced and to sign up for maintenance. I replaced the hot surface igniter and adjusted the gas pressure to 3.5 WC. The system was running at the completion of service.

On arrival, I found the Ecobee thermostat not properly wired and programmed for the base model heat pump. Corrected programming and fixed wiring at unit. Tested system and verified operation. Everything is working at this time.

Installed new Carrier gas system. Installed Ecobee Pro thermostat. Installed new secondary drain pan. Rebuilt primary drain with p-trap and SS2 safety float switch. Cleared condensate drain and tested with water. Built and installed new supply and return plenums. Sealed all connections and all buckets with mastic. Pressure tested line set and pulled a vacuum. Installed new disconnect/whip. Installed new hood for line set going outside. Added 10oz of R-454B refrigerant to account for line set length.

Upon arrival, the customer stated she was having issues with her furnace. Upon inspection of the furnace, I found an error code stated that the high limit had been tripped. After diagnosing the system, it was determined that one of the wires on the harness from the blower motor is faulty, which was keeping power from reaching the blower motor. I was able to rewire the harness and get the system up and heating. While onsite, I also completed the semiannual heating tune-up and found no other major issues at this time.

On arrival I spoke with Mrs. Young, and she stated that the furnace stopped working overnight. I performed a diagnostic on the system and found that the discharge air temperature sensor has failed. It is reading 195-200 degrees Fahrenheit while my temperature probe is reading 55 degrees. I replaced the sensor and cycled power at both thermostats. I then verified that both zones are opening and closing and there is about a 45-degree temperature rise. The temperature inside the home also increased from 59 degrees to 68 before my departure.

Heater tune-up completed on a vertical heat pump system. No major issues found.

Installed mobile home Payne system. Installed Honeywell T6 thermostat. Pressure tested line set and pulled a vacuum. Installed new disconnect and whip. Cleared condensation drain and tested with water.

Performed heater tune-up. Checked 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 also found that the capacitor on the condenser unit is below value. No other major issues were found.

Performed a heater tune-up on an American Standard 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. I did find the system was moving more airflow than was required for the tonnage of the air conditioning system. I lowered the airflow to the correct setting, and it is now delivering about 1,350 can on a 3.5-ton system. I also found this helped decrease the static pressure of the system from .72 to .53 in.w.c.. I also found the furnace was not receiving enough propane gas. I was reading 7.5 in.w.c at the furnace gas valve outlet so I increased the outlet pressure at the propane tank outside. After doing this the furnace is now operating at about 11 in.w.c. No other major issues were found, and the system is operational at this time.

Performed heater tune-up. Checked 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. The air filters were replaced with customer supplied filters. No major issues were found. The system was set to the customer’s desired temperature and is running at the completion of service.

Heater tune-up completed on a heat pump system. No major issues found at this time.

Heating tune-up completed on a vertical all electric heat system. No major issues found at this time.

Performed a heater tune-up on two Carrier heat pump systems. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and cleaned the exterior of both air handlers. I washed both outdoor coils and verified the compressor wiring is secure. All UV lights and surge protection are on and working. No major issues have been found at this time and both systems are operational.
