Heating System Repair Service: Diagnosing a heating issue, I identified a clogged gas valve as the root cause. A thorough cleaning of the gas valve ensured unobstructed gas flow, restoring efficient operation and guaranteeing consistent and reliable warmth for the residential client.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one cooling system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Verified everything was operating within the manufacture’s specifications for operation. Indoor system drain line cleared and treated and filter changed. Outside condenser refrigerant pressures within range and condenser cleaned. Removed weeds from around the unit. No major issues were found and system running at time of departure.

On arrival, I found that the emergency water safety shutoff was tripped. I found that the primary drain line was clogged up causing water to back up into the indoor system. When I went outside to access the drain line exterior penetration, I found that the low voltage control wiring was all chewed up from what appeared to be a weed-eater. Recommended removing the drain line clog and repairing the low voltage control wiring outside to ensure proper heating and cooling operation from the outdoor heat pump system. Spoke with Mr. Cecil and he decided to move forward with the immediate repairs to get the system back up and running. I flushed and treated the primary drain system and fixed the damaged outdoor control wiring for the outdoor system. Reset the HVAC system and tested cooling operations. Verified everything was operating within manufacture’s specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time. Locked the front door and side gate and placed key back in lockbox an

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the primary condensate drain line was clogged. Water had backed up into the safety switch and shut down the condenser unit. The drain line was cleared and flow tested with 1.5 gallons of water. The drain line was then treated. The system was running at the time of departure.

Replaced all ducting for all three systems. Sealed all pressure points with air lock and installed balancing dampers. Moved upstairs thermostat 4’ over on wall and installed new dryer vent connection. Installed new air purifiers and media filters. Systems operating at this time.

Installed new Stage 2 and Stage 3 Breathe Easy Packages. Sealed return air chase and verified operation. Everything is working at this time.

Performed heat check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. No major issues were found. Drain line cleared and treated. Surge protection is operational. Condenser coil cleaned. Electrical disconnect confirmed in and on. System was running at the time of departure.

On arrival, inspected the Rheem Heat Pump heating system. Checked refrigerant charge of the R-22 system and inspected all electrical controls. Did find the outdoor run capacitor to be below value for what the manufacture states for operation. Performed a full inspection over the indoor air handling unit and the outdoor heat pump. Replaced the outdoor capacitor, verified system startup and upon departure, indoor temperature was 83°

Trip 1- On arrival, homeowners stated that the indoor unit was making a weird “gargling” noise and they noticed ice buildup on their filter. Removed the blower assembly and found the motor to be seized up. Contacted Carrier for repair parts and ordered a new blower motor. Will return once parts have arrived and repair under Garner A/C’s Warranty. I did recommend the installation of a power surge protector on the indoor air handling unit, to give a first line defense towards high voltage surges at the unit. Trip 2 - Went to install new motor and the motor was so seized to the shaft that it was unremovable from the wheel. Ordered new wheel and housing from Carrier. Wheel is in stock but they have to ship in the housing. Once received, will return to complete repair. Trip 4 - Installed new blower motor, wheel, and housing along with a surge suppressor. Verified system operation. Everything working at correctly at this time.

Performed semiannual AC maintenance on one comfort cooling system. Tested all Performance, Mechanical and Safety Systems. Securely fastened all mechanical wiring of the outdoor cooling unit, and verified all wiring and controls were secure. Flushed and treated drain line and secured exterior drain per homeowner’s request.

Performed service diagnostic. Inspection found that the drain line was clogged on the system that services the East side of the house. I cleared and treated drain and vacuumed out the primary drain pan. Also looked over the condenser because customer said she heard a grinding sound from one of the units. I found that the unit that services the West side of the house has a fan motor that has no grease left which is causing the motor to grind. Presented the client with options to replace the motor but she declined.

Performed maintenance on the AC system. I cleaned the condensing coil, cleared the drain line and checked pressure. Also checked electrical systems of the units and found no major issues. JJ did mention a noise during shut down of the condensing unit but after inspection and cleaning of system we found no major issues. System is operational at this time.

Pulled and cleaned to evaporator coil and blower. Once clean, the system was put back together, and a pressure test and vacuum were pulled. With the system back in operation a refrigerant charge check was performed. System is working properly at this time.

Performed service diagnostic. Diagnostic found that the capacitor on the condenser unit for the downstairs system had failed. Options for repair were presented to customer and they chose to replace the capacitor. Electrical disconnect confirmed in and on. System was running at the time of departure.

p 1 - System is low on refrigerant R-22. I have spoken with Susan, and she is selling the house. She said the house will go on the market in a week. I advised her to speak with her real estate agent and figure out what would work for them. She would like me to and a quote to her to replace the system and ductwork so she can factor the price into her decision. Trip 2 – R-22 added. System at 10.5 degrees sub cooling.

Performed heat check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. Blower wheel and evaporator coil where both dirty and in need of cleaning. Blower motor and condenser fan motor where both leaking lubricant and showed signs of overheating. Options for repair were presented to customer they wanted to have the other side of the duplex checked out before deciding on repairs. Electrical disconnect confirmed in and on. System was running at the time of departure.

Performed diagnostic on new Rheem system and found that the auxiliary heat kit was tripping the breaker due to too much current. Auxiliary heating element has current has been adjusted and is now supplying the correct amount of power. Auxiliary heat tested several times after adjustments were made and system is now operational.

Trip 1 - Installed new Rheem system in closet. Added new plywood overlay and sealed chase cavity. Installed new line filter dryer and pressure tested system for extensive leak check. Pulled deep vacuum and installed new Ecobee thermostat. Rebuilt drain line with SS-2 and SS-3 safety switches. Will return for additional return, duct cleaning, and grill replacement Trip 2 - Added new 9” return air duct for second system and replaced all supply registers in home. Performed duct cleaning and verified system operation.

After performing the diagnostic on the room in question that was not getting enough airflow, I found that the duct system is falling apart and in terrible condition. The customer asked me if I would shove the duct to that room into the hole in the plenum because there is not a collar attached to it to bide him time until he replaces the ductwork.

Found TXV valve damaged and not cooling home. Also, outdoor voltage enhancement system under tolerance and dirt buildup present at blower wheel. Options presented to the customer and they have decided to move forward with repairs. New TXV has been installed and secured and filter dryer added. Refrigerant charge on target and clean was conducted at air movement systems. Also, voltage enhancement system and performance system was added. System is now operational.

Performed the AC tune-up and everything is working at this time. I did discuss system upgrades with a customer such as sealing ductwork however the system is 17 years old, and they will be replacing the system in the next year or two.
