Job Locations and Reviews
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.

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.

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.

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.
