Performed cooling maintenance on a straight cool system. Checked all electrical, mechanical and performance of the system. Cleared and treated the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. I found the blower wheel has some mildew growth and the outdoor wiring for the compressor is rubbing on the copper line. I insulated the copper and secured the wiring to prevent any electrical shorts in the future. No other major issues were found

Performed AC cool check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. The wiring is tight and in good condition. The drain line was cleared and treated. The air handler, evaporator coil and blower wheel are all clean. The refrigerant charge is within factory specifications. The contactor for the condenser unit is in good condition. The condenser fan motor is showing signs of overheating, and the capacitor on the condenser unit is below value. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and he chose to have the condenser fan motor and condenser capacitor replaced today. I replaced the condenser fan motor and capacitor. I function checked the system and the system is operational.

Upon arrival the customer stated that the system would turn on for a few hours and then shut off for a few hours. They mentioned that it has been happening over the past couple weeks. Went upstairs to inspect the up-flow furnace and found that the in-line float switch had tripped due to a clogged primary drain line. I explained to the homeowner how the float switch works and why it was periodically being tripped. I then cleared out the condensation drain line which terminates in the backyard. Ran a gallon of cleaner through it, verified proper drainage, and cycled system on to verify proper operation.

I arrived to find the outdoor unit on and running with the thermostat set to off. I checked and found that the unit was frozen from the coil all the way to the compressor. I dug in a bit deeper and discovered that the contactor was stuck because it was full of ants. I brought this to the attention of the customer and made him an option to get it taken care of. He elected to move forward with that option. Details are below: “Includes replacement of the failed contactor that is full of ants and stuck shut.”

Installed a two-stage variable speed heat pump system. Fabricated new return and extended supply plenum. Sealed all pressure points with air lock and mastic tape. Rebuilt drain line with SS-2 and SS-3 safety switches. Added filter dryer and pressure tested system for extensive leak check. Pulled deep vacuum and verified charge. System operational.

Performed AC cool check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. The drain line was cleared and treated. The blower wheel and evaporator coil are both clean. The wiring is tight and in good condition. The condenser fan motor is in good condition. The refrigerant charge is within factory specifications. The capacitor for the condenser unit is within value, and the condenser coil was cleaned. The contactor for the condenser unit does have some black marks on the contacts. No other major issues were found.

Cool check completed on 25-year-old horizontal heat pump system. I cleared the drain and ensured the float switch is working. I did find that the blower wheel and housing has some build up on it. The outdoor coils have been cleaned. The capacitor and contactor are within range. The amp draw on the condenser fan is a little high and the motor is leaking lubricant. Refrigerant levels are below manufactures specs. No other major issues found.

I checked over the system and discovered that both blower wheels are coated in gunk. I also found that the drain line is clogged in the room to the right at the top of the stairs. I made the homeowner an option to get the wheels cleaned. He elected to move forward with the work. “Includes pulling and cleaning of both blower wheels.” I made sure to put my Shopvac on the outlet of both drains. I then disassembled the indoor units. I pulled and cleaned both blower wheels with coil cleaner. I re-installed the wheels and tested the systems. Both indoor units came on and ran. They started blowing cold air out before my departure. Both indoor units and the outdoor unit are in working condition at completion of appointment.

Performed AC cool check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. The drain line was cleared and treated. The blower wheel has some buildup on it. The electrical wiring is tight and in good condition. The condenser fan motor and contactor are both in good condition. The capacitor for the condenser unit has a burned terminal on the herm/compressor terminal. I traced the wiring back to the disconnect and all of the connections on the disconnect are loose. The loose wires in the disconnect were tightened down but will need to be monitored on future visits. The condenser coil was cleaned, and the system was function checked. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and the customer chose to have the capacitor replaced. I remade the wiring connection to the capacitor and then replaced the capacitor. The system was running at the time of departure.
