Kyle TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Upon arrival I found system on and running. I spoke to homeowner about how the unit had been performing. I checked over the system and discovered that the drain line was clogged. The float switch was also installed incorrectly. I went outside and found that the drain tube was buried under the ground. I picked it up and immediately all of the water rushed out. I made the customer an option to replace the float switch and she elected to move forward. I collected for the work and replaced the float switch. I tested it 3 times and it is now working properly. System is in working order at completion of appointment.

Performed cooling maintenance on one straight cool system. Checked all electrical, mechanical and performance of the system. Cleared and treated the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. Customer supplied filter for replacement. I did find that this system requires a hard start kit for the compressor, and it does not have one. I installed a hard start kit for the 3-ton system covered under Garner AC warranty. After I installed it, I cycled power and confirmed the system is operational. No other major issues were found.

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the system was running in heat pump mode. The thermostat had failed and was not sending signal to the reversing valve for AC mode. Options for repair were presented to the customer, and she chose to have the thermostat replaced and to sign up for maintenance. I replaced the thermostat and function checked the system. The system is now running and cooling.

Service diagnostic found that the blower fan was receiving signal to run anytime the power to the furnace was on. I isolated the thermostat, and the fan still ran. Performing wiring checks at the board confirmed a 24v signal was being passed. I traced the thermostat wire though the attic and found a rub out where the wire was pulled tight against a metal one hole strap. Options for repair were presented to the customer and she chose to have the wiring repaired. I cut away the damaged wire and spliced in a new section of good wire. I also wrapped the strap with foam tape to prevent future rub outs. The system was function checked and was running at the time of departure.

Performed AC cool check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. The air purifier is operational. The air handler, evaporator coil and blower wheel are all clean. The drain line was cleared and treated. 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. The refrigerant charge is within factory specifications. The surge protection is also operational. The condenser coil was cleaned. No major issues were found, and the system is running at the time of departure.

Installed Carrier gas system. Installed new supply and return plenums. Sealed all connections with mastic air lock. Replaced secondary drain pan. Rebuilt and insulated primary and secondary drain lines. Installed SS2 and SS3 safety float switches. Cleared drain and verified operation. Installed Honeywell thermostat. Installed new disconnect and whip for condenser. Ran low voltage wire in ½” Seal-Tite. Pressure tested and pulled a vacuum on the line set. Weighed in additional refrigerant to meet manufacturer specifications. Installed hurricane straps.

Performed diagnostic on the system. I found that the primary drain line is clogged causing water to drain out of the secondary drain on the side of the house. I presented my findings to the homeowner, and she chose to have the drain cleared at this time. I cleared and treated the drain line and tested it with two gallons of water. After the drain was cleared, I checked all electrical, mechanical and performance of the system. No other major issues were found, and the system is operational at this time.

Performed cooling maintenance on one straight cool system. Checked all electrical, mechanical and performance of the system. Cleared and treated the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. I did find the starter at the condenser has some wear and tear. I also found the high voltage wire nuts at the furnace are undersized. I replaced the wire nuts and cycled power at the thermostat. No other major issues were found, and the system is operational at this time.

Cool check completed on an up-flow gas system. The indoor unit is clean, and the blower motor looks to be in good shape. The drain line was cleared and treated. The float switch was checked and is operational. The outdoor coils were cleaned. The fan motor and capacitor are within manufacture specs. The contactor is in rough shape, and I recommend replacement. I checked refrigerant levels: the unit calls for a 9° sub cool and my gauges are reading 12.5 to 13 degrees. This indicates that the unit may be slightly over charged but it is within range, so I recommend we monitor on future visits. Presented repair options and the homeowner has opted to have the contactor replaced today. I replaced the contactor and cycled the system. Everything is operational at this time.

Cool check completed on a horizontal gas system. The coil and blower are in good shape. The air filters were changed, and the drain line was cleared and treated. I also checked the float switch and it is operational. The condenser coil was cleaned. The refrigerant level are within spec and the capacitor is within value. The condenser fan motor is leaking grease and showing signs of overheating. The contactor is pitted. Presented the customer with my findings and they chose to have the contactor and fan motor replaced today. I completed the repairs and cycled the system to verify the unit was working properly at time of departure.

Installed 3-ton Carrier gas system. Installed Ecobee Pro thermostat. Installed plywood overlay. Transitioned to existing supply plenum. Rebuilt and insulated primary drain line. Rebuilt drain to go from poly pipe to PVC. Installed SS2 safety float switch. Cleared drain line and verified operation. Rotated condenser to be 6 feet away from the gas main. Ran low voltage in Seal-Tite. Replaced disconnect and whip. Installed hurricane straps. Pressure tested line set and pulled a vacuum on the line set. Sealed all connections with mastic air lock. Verified system charge was at manufacturers specifications.

I arrived at the home to find the system on and running. I spoke to homeowners about how the system had been performing. I checked over the system and discovered the following: the contactor was pitted and charred, the capacitor was starting to get weak, and the bucket in the laundry room wasn’t sealed to the sheetrock. I made the homeowner a few options and she elected to move forward with my best option. Details are below: “Includes replacement of the capacitor, contactor, and silicone sealing of laundry room grille that is sweating.” I sealed the grille with silicone to stop the attic air from coming into the living space. I then went outside and replaced the contactor and the capacitor. I tested the system and everything came on and ran. System is in working order at completion of appointment.
