Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Service diagnostic found that the system was overcharged with refrigerant. The condenser fan motor is also showing signs of overheating. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and he chose to have refrigerant removed to bring the system into balance. I removed 1.7lb of refrigerant and the system was now cooling at 10 degrees of sub cooling. I also cleared the drain line at no additional charge. I then flow tested the drain with two gallons of water and treated the drain line. Water was observed flowing out of the drain line. The system is running at the time of departure.

Performed AC cool check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. The drain line was cleared, and flow tested with three gallons of water. Water was observed flowing out of the drain line. The drain line was then treated. The evaporator coil and blower wheel are both clean. Some spots of mold/mildew were found inside the air handler. The filter is dirty, and I asked the tenant to replace it as soon as possible. The condenser fan motor is showing signs of overheating. The contactor on the condenser unit is in good condition, and the capacitor for the condenser unit is within value. There are tall weeds growing around the condenser coil and I let the tenant know he needed to get them cut to allow proper airflow across the coil. The condenser coil was cleaned. No other major issues found.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one heat pump cooling system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Tested and verified everything was operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Cleaned and flushed out the primary drain line that runs into the hall bath sink. Cycled system multiple times and reset thermostat back to setpoint. Everything is working at this time.

Cool check completed on a vertical gas system. The blower wheel has a slight build up. The drain line was cleared, and the float switch is operational. I removed a dirty air filter, and the tenant said he would replace it today. Condenser coil was cleaned. I found the condenser capacitor below manufactures specs. The temperature split at 17 degrees. No other major issues found.

Installed Carrier 4 ½ ton gas system. Installed Ecobee Pro thermostat. Installed new supply and return plenums. Ran duct back to main return. Upsized bucket in first bedroom. Installed new supply run in master bedroom. Removed wye and home ran ducts. Replaced disconnect and whip. Replaced secondary drain pan. Rebuilt primary and secondary drain lines. Cleared drain and verified operation. Installed media filter. Pressure tested line set and pulled a vacuum. Weighed in additional charge to meet manufacturers specifications.

Performed a diagnostic on the system and found that the outdoor capacitor for the compressor has failed. In addition, the system does not have a water safety switch, the outdoor condenser fan motor is showing signs of wear and tear, the starter is pitted at the contacts and the system is slightly low on refrigerant. Presented my findings to the homeowner and they chose to have the capacitor replaced only . I replaced both capacitors with a dual capacitor and secured it to prevent any electrical shorts. The system is now cooling with a 17-degree split and 2 degrees of subcooling.

On arrival the homeowner stated that his outdoor fan motor was not working. I performed a diagnostic and found the capacitor has failed on the fan side. This caused the system to overheat the compressor as well. I presented my findings to the homeowner and let him know that we would need to replace the capacitor first in order to check full operation of the system. He agreed to the repair at this time. I cooled off the compressor with a water hose and replaced the outdoor capacitor. I cycled power and at the thermostat and the system is now operational.

Service diagnostic found that the capacitor on the condenser unit has failed. The condenser fan motor is leaking lubricant. The blower wheel is also dirty. There is visible buildup inside the drain line. I replaced the capacitor and ran the system for 45 minutes. The home is under a high heat load, but the system performance is steadily improving. I presented the homeowner with repair options. They chose to have the capacitor and fan motor replaced on the condenser unit. They also chose to have the blower wheel cleaned and to have the drain line cleared. I completed all the repairs. I function tested the system and the system was running at the time of departure. Clear water was observed flowing from the drain as well.

Began service diagnostic by checking the float switch and found it dry, but there was visible buildup inside the drain line. The wiring is tight. The air handler, blower wheel and evaporator coil are all clean. The condenser coil is also clean. I turned the system on, and it started running inside. I went out to the condenser unit and found the condenser fan motor was not running. I checked over the condenser and found that the capacitor has failed on the fan terminal and is below value on the herm terminal. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and David chose to have the capacitor replaced. I replaced the capacitor on the condenser unit and function checked the system. The system is now operational.

Performed cooling maintenance on a mini split system. Checked all electrical mechanical and performance of the system. I cleared the drain line with my vacuum and rinsed both indoor and outdoor coils. I did find some microbial growth on the blower wheel. I presented my findings to the homeowner, and he asked me to send an estimate for the cleaning.

Performed duct sealing on home duct system in attic. Also sealed connections point at equipment. Cleared and treated the condensate drain line at no additional charge. System operational.

Performed AC cool check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. The drain line was cleared, and flow tested with two gallons of water. The drain line was also treated. The wiring was tightened and is in good condition. The blower wheel is clean. The contactor for the condenser unit is in good shape. The refrigerant charge is within factory specifications and the capacitor for the condenser unit is within value. The condenser fan motor is showing signs of overheating. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and he chose to have the condenser fan motor replaced. I replaced the condenser fan motor and function checked the system. The system is running at the time of departure.

Performed AC cool check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared the drain line and flow tested the system with two gallons of water. I then treated the drain line. The blower wheel is clean. The wiring is tight and in good condition. The condenser fan motor and contactor are in good condition. The capacitor for the condenser unit is within value, and the refrigerant charge is within factory specifications. The condenser coil was cleaned. No major issues were found, and the system is running at the time of departure.

Single system cooling tune-up completed on horizontal gas system. The drain line was cleared and treated. The float switch was checked and is working properly. I changed out a customer supplied air filter. The condenser coils were cleaned, and all electrical was checked. The refrigerant charge is below manufacture specs. Leak check performed and a leak was found in the evaporator coil. Presented options to repair the system, and the customer has chosen to have refrigerant added today. The system has been charged to full capacity and is operating properly at the time of departure.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one straight cool HVAC system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Homeowner left us a 4” Honeywell 20x25 media filter in the attic, so I went ahead and had it installed and dated. I also flushed and treated the primary drain line that attaches into the downstairs hall bath sink to ensure proper condensate drainage. Checked over the outdoor unit and found all electrical and mechanical components to be operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.
