Spoke with the homeowner when I arrived. On system startup the outdoor condenser would make a loud rattling noise but he figured it had something to do with the movers the day prior having the house open the complete day. We went outside to take a look at the unit and I pulled the disconnect. The condenser fan motor began to shake turning off. I installed the disconnect back in and did verify the rattling noise. Will need to install a new condenser fan motor at the outdoor condensing unit to return the unit back to designed operation. I went over repair options with the homeowner and he chose to have the condenser fan motor replaced. I installed a new condenser fan motor, programmed the motor for rotation and speed rating, and cycled on high voltage power. Checked over operations and verified everything was operating within manufacturer specifications for operation. Everything was working at completion of service.

After diagnosing system, I found the critical issue being the torque booster. I visited with the homeowner over the phone about options for repair. He has decided to become our newest maintenance member and have the torque booster replaced today. I replaced the torque booster and cycled both thermostats to verify proper operation. The system is cooling at time of departure.

On arrival, I found that the outdoor fan motor was running but the compressor was not pumping any refrigerant. I diagnosed that the outdoor run capacitor had failed across the HERM terminals. I went over my findings with the home owner and he chose to replace the capacitor today. I installed a new run capacitor and all new insulated wiring terminals. Secured all connections and cycled high voltage power. Everything is working at this time.

On arrival, I found that the outdoor fan motor was running, however the compressor was not pumping any refrigerant throughout the refrigerant circuit. I tested the run capacitor and found that it had failed across the HERM terminal. I checked up in the attic and verified the air filter was not dirty and also tested the fresh air damper system as well. I went over my findings with the homeowner and they chose to replace the capacitor. Installed a new run capacitor at the outdoor condenser. Cycled high voltage power and checked over operations. Tested and verified refrigerant was operating at a 13°SH and a 13°SC value. Indoor air temp prior to leaving was around 80° at 80% humidity. I did let them know it would take some time to cool the house down as it has to remove all the heat and humidity from the home. Everything is working at this time.

Service diagnostic found that the capacitor on the condenser unit had failed. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and he chose to have the repair done today. I replaced the capacitor and function tested the system. I also treated the inside of the electrical cabinet on the condenser with insecticide to keep ants away from the contactor. The system was running at the completion of service.

Air Conditioning System Repair: Identified and repaired deteriorated refrigerant line insulation, which was causing energy loss and condensation. Re-wrapped lines with new UV-resistant insulation for improved system efficiency and reliability.

I spoke with homeowner when I arrived. He mentioned that his roommate said the house was getting warmer during the day and since he is heading out for deployment, wanted to get the AC system checked over. I found a 2021 5 ton Trane 2 stage straight cool system installed at the home. The system is currently running low on R-410A charge. System was operating at a 25°SH and 2°SC, with a 72° suction line temperature. I used my electronic leak detector and inspected the indoor evaporator coil in the attic but did not find any refrigerant leaks present during today’s visit. I went over my findings with the homeowner and they chose to move forward with needed repairs. I installed a new outdoor run capacitor at the outdoor unit. I added in 3# of R-410A refrigerant into system, which allowed for a 15°SH and a 10°SC value to be reached, matching the manufacturer specifications for operation. I function tested the system. Everything is working at this time.

Air Conditioning System Repair: Replaced a failed compressor to resolve repeated circuit breaker trips and restore reliable AC performance. This repair improved system safety and efficiency.

AC Repair Service: Replaced a malfunctioning AC contactor to restore consistent system operation. This prevented startup failures and contributed to the unit’s long-term reliability during high-demand periods.
