No cooling 1st Floor system 4Ton AC with 100,000BTU natural gas furnace 90+% efficiency. Found failed 70uF capacitor at outdoor unit. Condenser fan motor is ECM. Wire between contactor and capacitor burnt and disconnected. Post on capacitor melted. Offered to replace failed capacitor, and install hard start assist. Start assist is a start capacitor with built in relay. helps compressor overcome starting torque, reduces inrush current at system start up. Homeowners agreed. Installed new 70uF capacitor, replaced wire between contactor terminal and common of capacitor with 10 gauge THHN wire and new connectors. Replaced compressor start winding connector at capacitor, installed SPP6 hard start. Tested system. Refrigerant pressures excellent: 321/128 8.4 SH 9.0°SC. Subcooling matches manufacturer target. Temperature split 18° (71-53) Good Also brushed out EZ trap. Homeowners paid for invoice today. Had discussion about age of equipment and replacing/upgrading equipment. Info

Only error codes present at outdoor control were 08 “no line voltage” and H8 “High line voltage” Those are related to power that is supplied to the unit. Verified correct voltage. 223.9V Offered a hard start kit. Explained what it does to minimize starting amps of compressor. It is a communicating system both circuits need to be reset whenever there is a power outage. There also will be a 5-10 min period where thermostat will display “waiting for equipment” anytime power is removed and restored. Steve agreed to install start kit for 1st Floor AC today. Completed work today. Tested. Steve said at one point stucco remediation company found high voltage wires exposed behind stucco. They had an electrician fix issues and presumably installed the AG3000 that is on the first floor AC circuit at that time. He says he has voltage spikes. I told him he wants to have an electrician look over panel and service wire. Bus bars..etc. Left estimates for power monitor system for each outdoor uni

Completed (2) AC tune ups BOTH filters very dirty if you don’t replace them every 2 months you will have service calls and performance issue with equipment Replaced 16x20x1 filter for second floor system. Replaced 16x25x1 filter for 1st floor system For each system: Indoor coil ok. outdoor coils both VERY dirty. Cleaned as best as possible with hardware in place. Will require deep cleaning at some point left estimate to thoroughly clean both outdoor coils. Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components. Here are no surge protectors. Left estimates. Inspected drains: Cleared EZ traps tested pumps. Added treatment tabs. There are no wet switches. Left estimates. Recommend considering nearby rooms are finished. Measured temperature split Verified refrigerant charge. Both systems operating ok at this time. Wants to schedule heat tune up end of October. Wednesday 10/29 if possible. Called office and scheduled it for then.

Performed tune up on carrier ac, checked indoor blower and temperature split. Tested outdoor units electrical components, tested compressor, fan motor and refrigerant levels, found a completely dead capacitor and a fan motor that was over double the rated amperage. Fan motor and capacitor need to be replaced to prevent a breakdown. Spoke with customer about repairs and she agreed.

Mike had already determined the cause of blank thermostat. An AC drain pipe close to the first floor system drain pan had broken los so that when he ran second floor AC the condensate water leaked there tripping the wet switch. I repaired this tidy, new elbow, union and piece of 3/4” pvc. *This was an old fitting not from our furnace install 2 years ago. I dried the pan as best as possible. Recommend putting a fan to dry pan. Completed (2) tune ups. Replaced 16x25x1 filter for first floor (4 Ton R410A piston microchannel AC) Replaced 16x20x1 filter second floor system (3 Ton R410A piston microchannel AC) For BOTH systems: Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition. Checked second floor coil with UB light only a small amount of dye in pan but this was there from install. Inspected drains. Made sure there were no other lose fittings. Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components. Measured temperature split Checked refrigerant charge. The second floor system was a litt

Completed heat tune up for 100,000 BTU Bryant furnace: Replaced 16x25x1 filter Inspected burners, heat exchanger, inducer assembly, pressure switches Cleaned flame sensor with fine steel wool, verified flame rectification circuit Inspected ignitor, measured ohm reading Confirmed correct manifold natural gas pressure Inspected wiring, controls, fan speeds; furnace has surge protection Measured temperature rise and static pressure Checked drain and condensate pump; left previous estimate for EZ trap. (Overfill drain protection) Combustion and draft tests pass. System operating well at this time Homeowner renewed plan today.

Completed (2) Heat tune ups Both filters in good condition; Mike replaces often For both systems: Inspected burners, heat exchanger, inducer assembly. Second floor furnace has areas of concern on heat exchanger, showed homeowner and during discussion we decided to schedule a consultation to upgrade furnace. I also strongly recommend upgrading the AC at the same time considering there is a refrigerant leak. Office to follow up to determine date and time. He is available Monday or Tuesday of next week mornings First floor system Good Cleaned flame sensor and verified flame rectification circuit. Ignitors on good condition, measured correct ohms Confirmed proper manifold gas pressure Inspected wiring and controls. Left estimates for surge protectors for each indoor equipment circuit. Combustion smoke and draft tests pass. The corrosion and beginnings of cracks on second floor furnace could become an issue at any time. Homeowners have installed CO detectors on second floor. First f

Arrived at call for water leak and found humidifier was set to 50% and running nonstop pad in the humidifier was very deteriorated and clogged the bottom orifice that allows it to drain and overflow into the return duct and then onto the floor, customer shown what was going on and Given options for repair both humidifiers were serviced and pads replaced and cleaned out. Pump was taken apart and cleaned as well and everything was tested upon completion. Customer sign up for a membership for both systems.

Perform precision heat tuneup on Lennox high-efficiency gas furnace. Checked 20 x 25 x 5“ air filter, air filter OK. Checked all electrical connections and components. Clean flame sensor. Blew out pressure switch tubing. Customer does not use humidifier so not servicing at this time. Control board was replaced a few years back recommended installing an AG 3000 surge protector. rise. Put tabs in condensate pump. Performed combustion test. Gas furnace is working fine at time of service.
