Performed AC cool check. Checked electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. Blower motor and evaporator coil were found to be dirty. Evaporator coil and blower motor housing was wiped down to facilitate performance check. Electrical disconnect confirmed in and on. Condenser coil clean. System set to 77° per request of the customer. Customer was presented options for cleaning of blower motor and heat transfer media but customer declined at this time. Please see attached checklist for full tune-up details.

1st trip – Performed diagnostic and found mini split blower wheel caked with dust and debris causing lowered cooling efficiencies and drainage issues. Outdoor condenser also building up debris and dust. Customer would like to have wheel head and condenser cleaned. Payment collected and we return next week to complete the repairs. Also, this mini split is on a two-zone head and we will address second head when we return. 2nd trip – While preforming cleaning I found traces of oil. I completed a leak check and found a leak in the coil. I discussed my findings with the customer presented options for head replacement. System has been cleaned and is operational. The replacement head is on backorder with Carrier but if customer moves forward with head replacement, a $200 credit will be issued on the work. We will send an estimate for the work, prior to the credit, to the customer.

Performed the repairs on the water removal system that sits underneath the evaporator coil. We replaced the secondary drain pan and installed two safety float switches. Also replaced the voltage enhancement systems both inside the furnace to the blower motor and outside on the condenser. After performing these repairs everything is coming back on and working at this time.

Performed cooling tune-up on 2 Lennox gas systems. On the upstairs system I found that the voltage enhancement system at outdoor unit was under tolerance. I presented repair options to the customer and they decided to move forward with the work. I replaced the voltage enhancement system to upstairs condenser and voltage performance systems were added to both condensers. Performance and safety tested was performed on both units after repairs completed and I also washed off the outdoor units.
