Upstairs Mini Split: On arrival, I found the indoor head unit blinking an error code. Upon removal of the decorative cover for the condensate pump, I found that it was filled with water due to the pump having failed. I verified the pump fuse was still good, and the pump was receiving 240v. You could feel the pump becoming warm but it was not kicking on to remove the condensate. I recommend having the condensate pump replaced today to ensure all condensate is removed from the unit and pumped out. Installed new condensate pump on the mini split head. Tightened and secured all connections and tested the system. Washed off the outdoor coil and verified everything was operating within manufacturers specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.
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.

On arrival, I spoke with homeowner, and he stated that the indoor blower motor would stay stuck on until he turned the breaker off at the panel for the air handler. I checked over the thermostat and wiring and I found that the indoor relay was stuck closed with constant power being delivered. I stripped back new low voltage wiring and secured wiring terminals at the run capacitor to ensure a proper common path for the high voltage electrical for the blower motor. Tested and verified operation. Everything is working at this time.
On arrival, homeowner stated that the AC went out Sunday morning, but he still had air coming from the supply registers. He turned the system off on the thermostat just in case to prevent further damage. I set the thermostat to COOL mode and went outside; I found the contactor relay engaged but no high voltage going across the set of contacts. Installed a new contactor and restored high voltage power to the system. Checked over the system and verified operation. Everything is working at this time.
I arrived to find the system off and not running. I spoke to homeowner about how the system had been operating. I checked over the unit and discovered the following: The capacitor has failed on the fan side, the contactor is pitted and charred, the condenser fan motor is leaking oil, and the condenser coil could use a good cleaning. I brought all of this to the attention of the customer and made her a few options. She elected to move forward with my Critical Repair option. Details are below: “Includes replacement of the capacitor only.” I got straight to work and replaced the capacitor with an Amrad. I got the system on and running. I did a quick rinse of the outdoor coil and checked the refrigerant pressure to find them to be within range. System is in working order at completion of appointment.

I arrived at the home to find the system on and running. I spoke to homeowner about how the system had been performing. I made sure to rinse the outdoor unit and also clear the drain. I checked over the system and found everything to be in proper working order. All motors are pulling less than rated amps. The capacitor and contactor are both working properly. The refrigerant charge is proper as well. We discovered that the system has a fresh air unit on it which was set too high for the home. I reduced it from 15 minutes per hour down to 6 minutes. The system could use a light cleaning. However, system performance isn’t being affected. Overall, the system is in good shape and working properly. System is in working order at completion of appointment.

Removed the refrigerant from the system and then removed the old line set. Installed the new line set and pressure tested with dry nitrogen. Checked for leaks on the line set connections and found none. Pulled a vacuum on the system and weighed in factory charge with new refrigerant. Checked the operation of the system in heating and cooling. Checked that the drain is draining properly. Washed the outside of the condenser and washed out the condensing coil. Reinstalled the line hide to protect the line set. The system is working properly at this time.
Installed new 2.5-ton Payne furnace and straight cool condenser. Installed new Honeywell T6 thermostat. Rebuilt and insulated condensate drain line. Added SS2 safety float switch. Installed new filter dryer, pressure tested with dry nitrogen and pulled a vacuum on copper line set. Replaced the condenser pad. Replaced the disconnect and ran the low voltage in Seal-Tite. Replaced the supply plenum with a new and improved 8ft plenum. Sealed all of the duct connections and joints with a mastic airlock.
Performed heating maintenance on one heat pump system. Checked all electrical, mechanical and performance of the system. I ran the system in cooling mode to check refrigerant levels because the outdoor temperature is 65°. Refrigerant levels were slightly low, and I also found small amounts of microbial growth on the blower wheel. I informed the customer and presented options for repair. She declined repairs at this time and wants to see how the system looks on her next maintenance visit. No other major issues were found, and the system is operational at this time. See attached checklist for full tune-up details.

Removed power from system, blew out the primary drain line and flushed drain line out. Verified drain had proper flow of water and then treated the primary drain line with a drain treatment. Opened up the indoor air handler and cleaned out the primary drain pan and treated with a drain treatment inside the drain pan. Reset the cooling system and inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Verified everything was operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.
