Martindale TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

HVAC System Replacement: Replaced an aging HVAC system with a new, high-efficiency unit. The upgrade increased overall comfort, reduced energy consumption, and lowered future repair costs.

AC Refrigerant Leak Repair: Located and repaired a refrigerant leak, then recharged the system to proper levels. This restored cooling capacity, improved energy efficiency, and prevented further compressor strain.

Diagnostic found that the secondary drain line would get water in it every time the system cycled off. This would trip the safety switch and shutoff the system. The current p-trap is not deep enough to allow the water to drain out the primary drain line. I spoke with the homeowner and she agreed to have the drain line rebuilt. I removed the safety switch from the secondary drain and installed it on the primary drain. I then dropped the p-trap 2inches and verified the drain line is leak free. Cycled power on the system a few times with no issues. I did also find the ducting is not sealed. The blower wheel is dirty and the outdoor fan motor is showing wear and tear. The system is operational at this time.

Air Conditioning System Repairs: While inspecting the client's HVAC system, I discovered a malfunctioning defrost control board that was disrupting defrost cycles and reducing efficiency. I replaced the faulty board, restoring proper defrost functionality and optimizing system performance.

Air Conditioning System Repairs: A homeowner reported weak airflow from their AC system. Upon inspection, I discovered a misaligned blower fan. I carefully adjusted and realigned the fan, ensuring consistent and efficient air circulation throughout the home, leading to improved cooling performance.

Heat check completed on a horizontal heat pump system. Outside dual capacitor should be monitored as it is in the bottom of the manufacture spec range. No other major issues found, and the system is operating properly at this time.

Heating tune-up completed on a vertical heat pump system. Upon arrival, the homeowner stated they had been getting an alert saying the heat strips have been running too long. During maintenance I found that the primary drain is clogged which was cutting off power to the heat pump unit. I was able to clear the drain line and verify heat pump came on during a call for heat. No other major issues found.

HVAC Duct Repair: A client reported fluctuating temperatures throughout their home. Upon inspection, we identified loose and damaged ductwork as the issue. After carefully repairing and sealing the ducts, airflow and temperature consistency were restored, creating a comfortable living space.

Performed semiannual maintenance on one heat pump heating system. Inspected all Performance, Mechanical and Safety systems. Tested and verified everything was operating within manufacture specifications for operation. Everything is working at this time.

Performed the heater tune-up on two Carrier heat pump systems. Checked electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the units. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and cleaned the exterior of the air handler. Replaced all filters for the homeowner and sealed them with tape to prevent any air bypass. I verified static pressure is within range on both systems. Secured the compressor wiring at both outdoor units. I did find the outdoor capacitor for the system that controls the bedrooms was below value. Homeowner chose to have the capacitor replaced at this time. I replaced the outdoor capacitor for the system that controls the bedrooms and the cycled power. Both systems are operational at the time of departure.

Air Conditioning Repair Service – I responded to a call about an air conditioner that would not turn on. Upon inspection, I discovered a faulty contactor switch, which was preventing the unit from receiving power. After replacing the contactor, I tested the system to ensure it cycled on and off correctly. This repair restored the cooling capabilities of the unit and the homeowner's comfort.

Completed duct work. Installed new supply and return plenums. Ran new flex ducts. Installed new buckets and sealed with mastic air lock. Sealed return to the existing return air filter grille. System operational.

HVAC System Repairs: I was called to inspect a heating system that wasn’t providing adequate warmth. I discovered the system’s heat exchanger was cracked, posing both efficiency and safety risks. After replacing the heat exchanger, I restored safe and efficient heating just in time for the colder autumn months.

HVAC System Repair: After investigating temperature inconsistencies in the client’s HVAC system, I calibrated the thermostat to ensure accurate readings. This adjustment resolved the temperature irregularities and improved energy efficiency, keeping the home comfortable throughout the autumn months.

Performed a diagnostic on the system and I found that the drain line is clogged which tripped the water safety switch and shut off the outdoor unit. I presented options for repair, and the homeowner chose to have the drain cleared at this time. I cleared the drain and tested it with two gallons of hot water. I also treated the drain line. I did notice the sink it runs into is not draining properly and water is backing up at the sink. I recommended that they have a plumber come out and clear the sink drain. I also replaced the air filter for the homeowner.

Whole Home Generator Installation: Installed a whole home generator to ensure an uninterrupted power supply during outages, safeguarding essential systems.

Cool check completed on a horizontal heat pump system. The blower wheel and evaporator coil are both clean. The UV lights and surge protection are both working. The drain line was cleared and treated. The float switch was checked and is operational. The air filter was replaced. The condenser coils were cleaned, and the refrigerant level was checked.

Comprehensive Indoor Air Quality Improvement: Installed a whole-home air purification system to reduce allergens and contaminants, creating a healthier living environment.

HVAC System Replacement: Replaced an old HVAC system with a high-efficiency unit to improve comfort and reduce energy consumption.

Performed cooling maintenance on one heat pump system. Checked all electrical, mechanical and performance of the system. I did find that the primary drain line was clogged. I was able to clear the drain line by connecting my vacuum to the drain line outside and used the duct straps to loosen any blockage in the drain at the air handler. I then tested the drain with two gallons of water and confirmed it was draining properly. Both UV lights and the air purifier are on and working properly. No other major issues were found, and the system is operational at this time.
