Performed A/C tune-up on a Trane straight cooling system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and cleaned the exterior of the furnace. Replaced the high voltage wire nuts with wago wire connectors. I did find there is no water safety switch on the secondary drain line and the outdoor fan motor is showing some wear and tear. I spoke with Ms. Carrick and presented repair options. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Performed A/C tune-up on a mobile home straight cool system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleaned the drain line as best as possible with my shop vac and treated the drain line as well. Secured the outdoor compressor wiring and washed the outdoor coil. I found the system was low on refrigerant and the blower wheel was dirty. I spoke with Nick and he chose to have the blower assembly cleaned and add refrigerant to the system. I added 2lbs of refrigerant and performed a leak search. I was unable to find a leak at this time. I then pulled and cleaned the blower wheel and blower housing. After completing the work I reset the breakers and verified the system is operational. The system was running at completion of service.

Installed new ductless system in garage space above window. Ran wiring, copper tubing, and drain line along interior wall until penetration. Pressure tested line-set and pulled deep vacuum. Verified system operation. Everything working at completion of service.

Ductwork Inspection and Repair: Performed a comprehensive duct inspection, locating and sealing multiple air leaks using mastic and foil tape. This repair improved system airflow, balanced room temperatures, and increased HVAC efficiency.

Summertime Air Conditioning System Tune-Up: Performed a thorough AC tune-up by cleaning both evaporator and condenser coils, checking and adjusting refrigerant levels, calibrating the thermostat, and inspecting all electrical components to maximize system efficiency and lifespan.

AC cool check completed on one horizontal Lennox system. Drain line was flushed and treated. Condenser coils were cleaned. I found the contactor charred and pitted. The slab of the condenser is in poor shape. I went over my findings with the homeowner. No other major issues were found. The system is cooling properly at time of departure.

Performed diagnostic on the Carrier straight cool system. I found the primary drain line was clogged. I spoke with homeowner and he chose to have the drain line cleared.

Arrived to complete repairs and began digging out the trench to install new lineset. We found there is a water line that runs on top of the old copper lineset and a large tree root that runs on top as well. Spoke to the homeowner and decided moving the condenser would be the best option. We moved the condenser over to the side of the house and ran new copper out of the exterior penetration and across the attic into the furnace closet. Connected all refrigerant piping and installed new high and low voltage electrical lines. Pressure tested system and pulled a triple evacuation on refrigerant circuit down to 300 microns. Recharged system to factory specifications and verified operation. Everything is working at completion of service.
