Niederwald TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

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 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 cool check completed on three year-old horizontal Carrier system. Drain line has been flushed and treated. Condenser coils have been cleaned. I found that the outdoor torque booster was starting to fail. I presented repair options to the homeowner and they chose to have the repair completed today. I replaced the torque booster and function checked the system. All other mechanical and electrical components of the system are within manufacturer specs. No other major issues were found. The system is cooling properly at time of departure.

Performed A/C tune-up on a Carrier straight cool system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Replaced the return air filter. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line. Cleaned the exterior of the furnace and washed the outdoor coil. I replaced the high voltage wire nuts with a Wago wire connector. I found that the thermostat screen is fading and is hard to read. I presented repair options to the homeowner. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

AC cool check completed on 2021 horizontal Carrier furnace system. I found a small gas leak in the attic and fixed it. I tested the static pressure, which was .54. I found that the condenser capacitor was below manufacturer specs. I presented repair options to the homeowner and they decided to replace the outdoor capacitor. I completed the repair and function tested the system. All other mechanical and electrical are within manufacturer specs. The system is cooling properly at this time.

Whole Home Generator Installation: I installed a whole home generator to provide the homeowner with a reliable power source during outages. With a focus on seamless integration, I ensured uninterrupted power supply to essential household systems, offering security and peace of mind.
