San Marcos TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Performed a/c tune-up on an American Standard heat pump system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line. Cleaned the exterior of the air handler and washed the outdoor coil. The homeowner did inform me the thermostat backlight is not working. The only fix for this is to replace the thermostat. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Diagnosed a failed blower motor. Motor had 24v and 130v going to it but it failed to start. Bearings feel locked up on the motor and it was pulling very low amps. Joshua chose to have the motor replaced. I removed the old one and cleaned the housing and wheel for him as well while it was apart. I then installed the new motor and function tested the system. The system is operational at the completion of the service.

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 and cleaned the exterior of the air handler. Secured outdoor compressor wiring and washed the outdoor coil. Replaced the AprilAire 410 filter with a client supplier filter. Did also find the outdoor fan motor is starting to show signs of overheating and is developing a hot spot (rust spot). It is still within range for operation. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Service diagnostic found that the condensation drain line was clogged. Water had backed up and spilled out of 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 water. I also treated the drain line. I function tested the system and the system was running at the completion of service.

Diagnosed a corroded battery terminal on the thermostat. I cleaned it and changed the batteries. I also found that the condenser fan motor was overheated and pulling higher amps. Cecilia decided to have the motor replaced. I replaced the motor and function checked the system. The system is working at the completion of the service.

Removed the existing secondary drain pan from underneath the evaporator coil. Installed new secondary drain pan with new foam blocks for the coil to sit on. Cut out 10 feet of the existing primary condensation drain line which had dirt built up inside of it. Rebuilt the primary condensation drain line with a new P-trap and insulated the entire drain line. Added SS2 and SS3 secondary safety switches to the system. Cleared the primary drain with CO2 and primed with water. Sealed up ductwork connections to the coil which were leaking air. Tested operation of system. Everything is working at completion of service.

Completed coil replacement on a Lennox system. Removed charge and installed new line filter drier. Pressure tested system for extensive leak check and pulled deep vacuum. Weighed new charge. Tested system operation. The system is running at completion of service.

Diagnosed a tripped float switch due to a clog in the primary condensate drain line. I cleaned the drain, drain pan and condensate line. Then I cleared through the line with nitrogen. I then checked the operation of the drain using water. Then cleaned the drain with Viper. The system is working at the completion of the service.

The condensate pump and drain had a blockage in them. I went over my findings with the homeowner and based on the age of the pump, they decided to replace the pump rather than clean it. The new pump has been installed and tested. The system is working at the completion of the service.

Service diagnostic found the blower motor relay was backfeeding over 100 volts into the low voltage side of the system. This was preventing the blower motor from kicking on when the a/c would turn on. I did also notice the air handler breakers would sometimes not pass power through when being reset. Also informed the homeowner there could be other low voltage components that could go out in the future but are still working at this time. At the outdoor system I found the outdoor contactor and fan motor are showing wear and tear. Spoke with the homeowner and he chose to have the blower motor relay replaced. I replaced the relay and reset the air handler breakers. The system is operational at this time.

Installed new 2.5 Carrier heat pump system. Built level platform for A/H and placed down plywood decking for safe servicing. Rebuilt drain lines and added SS-2 and SS-3 safety switches. Installed new line filter drier, and pressure tested system for extensive leak check. Pulled deep vacuum and weighed in factory charge. Upsized both guest bedrooms and added 12x12 RAFG in them for added return. Function checked the system. Everything is running at completion of install

AC cool check completed on a straight cool system. Drain was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. All mechanical and electrical components were checked. A leak search for refrigerant was also performed. I did find the outdoor torque booster below manufacturer specifications. The contactor is charred and needing to be replaced. The in rush amps to the compressor are exceeding manufactures recommended limitations. No other issues were found. Thermostats were reset and the system is cooling at time of departure.

Cool check has been completed on horizontal straight cool system. Drain line has been flushed and treated. Outdoor coils have been cleaned. During maintenance all mechanical and electrical components were checked. I did find that the outdoor condenser fan motor is leaking lubricant. I also found in rush amps to compressor exceeding manufacturers limitations. System was verified cooling before departure.

Diagnostics found that the outdoor torque booster has failed. After discussing repair options with the homeowner, he has approved having the torque booster replaced today. Once repairs were completed, the system was cycled on to verify proper operation. System is cooling at time of departure.

Diagnostics found a clogged primary drain line backing up and spilling over the internal drain pan lip. I presented options to the homeowner for repairs to the drain line and she agreed. I flushed the line, vacuumed it out and then treated it. I also cleaned and rinsed out the part of the internal drain pan I could get to. Unit was verified cooling at time of departure.

Performed a/c tune-up on a American Standard heat pump system. Checked the electrical, mechanical and performance systems of the unit. Cleared, cleaned, flushed and treated the drain line and washed the outdoor coil. Replaced return air filter with a client supplied filter. Also found the thermostat indoor temperature was off by 4 degrees. I changed the temperature offset on the Ecobee thermostat so it is now reading the correct indoor temperature. No other issues were found. The system is operational at this time.

Replaced and supported new supply plenum. Cleared drain line and replaced outdoor contactor. Verified system operation. Everything is working at completion of service.

Diagnosed a failed thermostat. I offered the option to install a new Ecobee and they chose to have it replaced. After replacing the thermostat, I function tested the system. The system is operational at the completion of service.

Pumped down and removed the old unit by disconnecting high and low voltage and cutting the copper. Installed new disconnect and followed it with the low voltage. Placed the new system. Ran the pressure test and the vacuum and decay test. Put down new plywood to level the drain pan. Installed new 210 media cabinet. Rebuilt drain lines with SS-2 and SS-3 safety switches. Installed UV lights and power pack into air handler. Removed all existing hard duct. Added on to flex duct to extend on to new trunk line. Also added new RA to dining room. Verified system performance and operation. Everything is working at this time.

Diagnostics found the mini split for the guest house extremely low on refrigerant. I added the proper amount of refrigerant to get the system back up and cooling. I then performed a refrigerant leak search and was unable to pinpoint any type of leak. The system was cooling at completion of service.
