Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Performed heater tune-up. I found that the flame rod had some carbon build up, so I cleaned it off with steel wool. I also cleaned out some debris that was inside of the furnace. No other major issues found.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one high efficiency gas system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. Changed out one 16x25x1 filter provided by the homeowners. Adjusted fuel pressure to match the 40kBTU furnace to ensure 100% heating capacity. Verified all other mechanical components were operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.

Heating tune-up completed on a horizontal gas system. The drain line has been cleared, treated, and primed. The draws on both motors are within range, and the flame sensor was cleaned. Gas pressures are within range. The system was cycled and is heating properly at this time.

Heating tune-up completed on a horizontal gas system. The drain line has been cleared and treated. Performed visual inspection of unit, checked gas pressures, and tightened all wiring from control board. All safety switches checked. Flame sensor cleaned. Temperature rise verified. System is operating within normal parameters. No major issues found.

Performed heating maintenance on a 90% furnace system. Checked all electrical, mechanical, safeties and performance of the system. Cleared and treated the drain line and cleaned the indoor closet area. I did find that if the drain line were to back up, it would drain out of the furnace collector box and would not reach the water safety to shut off the system as designed. No other major issues were found, and the system is operational at this time.

On arrival, I spoke with homeowner , and he stated that the air coming from the supply vents was no longer cold the day prior. He said he opened the air handler to make sure everything was clean, but wanted to get it checked out to be sure. I set the thermostat to cool mode and went outside where I found that only the condenser fan motor was running, and the compressor was not. I removed the run capacitor and checked across all terminals. Found the HERM side reading 0.0 out of 35mfd, and the fan side reading 2.9 out of 5mfd. I also noted that the outdoor condenser exhaust fan motor has overheated. Recommend replacing the outdoor run capacitor and outdoor condenser fan motor to ensure unit continues to operate at 100% cooling capacity. Installed a new outdoor run capacitor and reset power to the system. Checked operation and everything is working at this time.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one gas furnace heating system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. Spoke with the customer and she showed me the inspection report from the buyer home inspector. The inspector mentioned in the report he noticed some air leakage from the supply air plenum where it connects to the evaporator coil. Upon inspection, I did find a small 1.5” slit of the mastic air sealant that had come loose. Securely sealed up air leak and checked the rest of the system for any other issues. Adjusted fuel pressure of the gas furnace to match within manufacture’s nominal range. Tested and verified everything was operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation.

Upon arrival, the customer stated that unit has not been cooling for the last 36 hours. I began the diagnostic and verified the unit was blowing air indoors. I continued outside to the condenser and found a faulty capacitor. With the customer’s approval I replaced the capacitor. Cycled system to verify the unit is working properly.

Performed cooling maintenance on a heat pump system. Checked all electrical, mechanical and performance of the system. Cleared and treated the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. I found that the outdoor condenser fan motor is showing signs of overheating. No other major issues found.

Upon arrival I found that the outdoor unit was not running, but the indoor blower motor was. During my inspection of the heat pump, I found that the capacitor had failed. I also noticed that the condenser fan motor is showing signs of severe overheating. Lastly, I found that the breaker in the control panel is 5A over the maximum according to the nameplate. Presented multiple options for repair, and the homeowner has chosen to only have the capacitor replaced today due to the age of the system. Replaced the capacitor and the system is cooling at time of departure.

Performed cooling maintenance on a heat pump system. Checked all electrical mechanical and performance of the system. Cleared and treated the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. All UV lights and surge protectors are operational. I secured the wiring at the compressor to prevent any run outs in the future. No other major issues were found, and the system is operational at this time.

Performed the diagnostic and I found that the outdoor run capacitor has failed below value across both the HERM & FAN terminals. I installed a new run capacitor at the outdoor unit and tested the system. Cleaned and washed the outdoor condensing coils (at no extra charge) and checked over the unit again. Verified everything was operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.

Service diagnostic found that the capacitor on the condenser unit has failed. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and she chose have the capacitor replaced on the condenser unit. I replaced the capacitor and function tested the system. The system is now operational and cooling with a 17-degree temperature split.

Performed duct cleaning and verified system operation. Replaced the outdoor condenser fan motor. We then pulled and disassembled the blower housing and cage. Took them outside and thoroughly cleaned them. Re-installed both and verified system operation. Cleared drain line with CO2 and tested with water. We then treated the drain. Everything is working at this time.

Service diagnostic found that the low voltage wiring to the condenser unit had come apart at the wire nuts. The wiring had frayed sections as well. I also found that the evaporator coil is dirty, and the blower wheel was also dirty. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and she chose to have the wiring repaired today. I cut out the bad section of wire and ran new wire into the condenser unit making fresh connections. I strapped the wiring and treated the electrical cabinet with JS insecticide to combat ants getting into the contactor. I function checked the system and the system is running at the time of departure.
