San Marcos TX Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Heat check completed on a vertical heat pump. Drain line was flushed and treated. Outdoor coils were cleaned. The outdoor suction line service valve is leaking refrigerant. Indoor evaporator coil is leaking refrigerant. In rush amps to the compressor is above manufacturers limitations. The outdoor torque booster has fallen below manufacturer specifications. There is no float switch on the indoor unit to prevent flooding if the drain backs up. I went over my findings and repair options with the homeowners.

Service diagnostic found that the thermostat had failed. The thermostat was causing the indoor fan to run non stop. It was also not allowing me to set the fan setting on “auto”. The indoor drain line had build up in it. I also found the outdoor starter was pitted at the the contacts. Spoke with the homeowners and they chose to have the thermostat and starter replaced. I replaced both components and cycled power at the thermostat. Also registered the thermostat and showed homeowner how to navigate the Ecobee app. I then performed heater the 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 and cleaned the exterior of the air handler. No other issues found. Surge protection is working.

Diagnostics found a failed transformer and a blown fuse. After the transformer was replaced, the low-voltage fuse continued to pop. I did find a small rub out at the condensing unit. I also found the outdoor fan motor is leaking lubricant, and both float switches have failed. The homeowner chose to take care of the critical issues today to get the system running. I completed the repairs and function tested the system. The system is running at completion of service.

Performed heat check. Checked the electrical, mechanical, safety, and performance of the system. I cleared the condensation drain line and flow tested the drain with two gallons of water. I also treated the drain line. The air filter was clean and had been recently replaced. The secondary condensation drain was set up to dump into the secondary pan. This would allow water to flow into and out of the secondary pan without tripping any safety float switches. Options for repair were presented to the homeowner and he chose to have a float switch installed on the secondary drain line. I installed the float switch and function tested the system. The system was running at the completion of service.
