Upon arrival, I found the torque booster had gone out on the fan side of the torque booster causing the system to not start up. I went over repair options and the homeowner approved replacing the torque booster. I replaced the 35/5 torque booster with the turbo 200. After replacement, I let the system run for 15 minutes. The system was cooling at completion of service.

Pumped down the existing refrigerant. Installed new TXV metering device and heat pump filter drier in the attic. Insulated the sensing bulb. Pressure tested system with nitrogen and pulled vacuum. Cleared primary condensation drain and primed trap with water. Cleaned out the primary drain pan. Charged AC with R-410A refrigerant to ~7-8 subcooling. Tested operation of system. Everything is working at completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Rheem straight cool system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. The air filter is still fairly clean. The system is operational at this time.

The old thermostat screen went blank. Homeowner said he wanted a new thermostat. We went over options and decided on an Ecobee3. I installed the thermostat and set up the new one so that they could run the app as well. The system is operational after installing the new thermostat.

Pumped down existing refrigerant to the condenser. Installed new evaporator coil fitted with new TXV metering device and primary drain pan. Cleared drain and primed with water. Installed new heat pump filter drier. Installed new 70/5 torque booster/capacitor. Pressure tested system with nitrogen and pulled vacuum. Charged AC with R-410A refrigerant. Tested operation of system.

Service diagnostic found that the condensation drain line was clogged. Water had backed up into the safety switch and shut down the system. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and she chose to have the drain line cleared. I cleared the drain line and flow tested the drain with two gallons of water. I also treated the drain line. I function tested the system and rinsed off the condenser coil. Clear water was observed flowing out of the drain line. The system was running at the completion of service.

Diagnostics found the outdoor torque booster had failed on the vertical heat pump. I went over repair options with Will and he chose to have the outdoor torque booster replaced. I replaced the outdoor torque booster and cleaned the coil at no additional cost. After repairs, I function checked the system. The system is cooling at completion of service.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier furnace system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier heat pump system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line. Replaced both return air filters with client supplied filters and washed the outdoor coil. Sealed a drain port on the primary pan with silicone and mastic tape to help prevent any water leaks from the system. Did find the indoor coil is rusting and can be prone to a refrigerant leak in the future. Also found the UV bulbs have failed. At the outdoor system I found the starter is pitted at the contacts. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Performed a/c tune-up on a Carrier Infinity heat pump system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Replaced the return air filter with a client supplied filter. Cleared and flushed the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. Did find the indoor secondary drain pan is developing rust spots. Also looked over the last 10 fault codes on the system since our last visit and the system has not had any faults. No other issues were found. Both surge protection devices are working. System is operational at this time.

Service diagnostic found that the condensation drain line was clogged. Water had backed up into the safety switch and shut down the system. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and she chose to have the drain line cleared. I cleared the drain line and function tested the system. The system was running at the completion of service.

Service diagnostic found that the evaporator coil was dirty. The obstructed evaporator coil was not able to transfer heat and preventing cooling. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and she chose to have the evaporator coil cleaned. I cleaned the evaporator coil and cleared the condensation drain line. I flow tested the drain with water and then treated the drain line. I function tested the system and the system was cooling at the completion of service.

Performed AC cooling checks. Checked the electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the systems. I cleared the condensation drain lines and flow tested the drains with water. I also treated the drain lines. The air filter for the living room/Kitchen system was replaced. The homeowner did not have a replacement filter for the system that conditions the bedrooms. No major issues were found. The systems were running at the completion of service.

Diagnostics found the capacitor on the condenser had failed. I did visit with David about capacitor replacement and maintenance. David chose to replace the capacitor today. Once work was completed, the system was cycled on to verify proper operation before departure. The system is cooling at completion of service.

Removed old duct work and buckets. Installed and upsized new buckets and flex runs. Sealed all connections with mastic. Installed new supply grilles. Everything is working at completion of service.
