I arrived for no cool call. I started with the basement unit. I inspected the coil, the air filter and blower operation. I then went outside and looked at the outdoor unit found outdoor fan would run, but not the compressor. I tested my dual capacitor and found the capacitor is failing, causing the compressor not to run. I got approval from the customer for labor warranty price to replace the capacitor. I removed the old capacitor and replaced with the new one and tested system operation. Everything is back up and running at this time of service. I did leave an estimate for the customer for a contract

Installed new trane airhandler with heat pump outdoor. Reused return and built new transition for supply. Taped/ caulked return and supply. Adapted high volt and installed new heat kit. Adapted condensate line and installed new ez trap. Placed wet switch in existing drain pan. Installed new thermostat and wired in low volt with safeties. Ran new line set and connected to new equipment. Installed new disconnect with surge protector and wired into outdoor unit. Installed new trane heat pump on leveled pad and snow legs. Cleaned up work area and tested out equipment

Customer called if for no cooling also error showing on thermostat. Found one switch for condensation pump. Move pump and started to pump water out, inspect pump pump ok. Did not see any issues with pump, I ended up replacing pump for safety. Test pump after repairs ok. Cycle ac unit and checked operation ok. System is now cooling. No charge warranty

Estimate

Performed AC maintenance on Bosch heat pump system checked all electrical connections, and components performed voltage and amps draws on all electrical components and motors. Replacement f 16x25x1 filter. Flush drain ok check supply and return air temps ok inspect coil, outdoor heat pump ok all settings and numbers within manufacture specifications. Used inverter board to check settings. Cycle ac heat pump ok. Provided estimate to replace filter for humidifier. Customer paid service plan renewal today.

Discussed objectives with Chris and Lisa. There will be an addition started in August for an in law suite. Reviewed equipment to determine possibilities. The oil tank, air conditioner, and heat pump sit on the side of the home where the oil tank is located. They need to be moved. Oil tank is corroded. Neighbor works for PECO and is trying to get gas to the neighborhood. Recommend propane furnace hybrid for now and switch back to natural if it becomes available. Load calculations need to be performed. They currently burn $3000/year in oil cost.

Fully assessed no cooling situation. Gave system a call for cooling from the thermostat. Found system not cooling at all. Went outside to outdoor unit and found system almost completely out of refrigerant which means the system has a very bad refrigerant leak. Explained to landlord that adding refrigarant is not the answer due to a very bad leak. Homeowner would like to be contacted to set up appointment to give a replacement estimate.

Arrived to the customers home for no cooling. I started with the basement unit. I checked the air filter, the indoor coil and the blower operation. I went to the outdoor unit found outdoor dual capacitor was swelled, which is in a failed state according to the customer for a new capacitor he approved the repair. I removed the old capacitor replaced it with the new tested system operation AC system is back up and running at this time of service. I collected for the tool capacitor, repair and diagnostic.

Upon arrival, I checked all wire connections from breaker panel to outdoor unit. Check starting and running amp draw. Checked voltage at panel and outdoor unit. Unfortunately, lights were not flickering at this time. Found one leg had 119 V and the other leg had 122 V so I recommended homeowner talks to peco to see if they have any power issues. System is operating appropriately at this time.

Performed precision a/c tune up on amana heat pump system. Replaced 16x25x1 air filter. Checked all electrical connections and components. Checked temperature split. Flushed condensation drain. Tested both capacitors inside and out. Provided solution to protect system from drain back up on condensate. Checked refrigerant pressures and temperatures at indoor and outdoor units. A/c is working properly at time of service.

Est

Upon arrival, I performed inspection on indoor unit verifying proper airflow across indoor coil. Checked temperature differential and found only a 11°F temp differential. Proceeded to outdoor unit and checked refrigerant pressures. I found super heat at 55° F and rising. This indicates the indoor coil is not receiving enough refrigerant. Unfortunately, since system is R 22 refrigerant I am unable to add refrigerant or make any refrigeration repairs. I recommended homeowner gets estimate to replace system.

6-12-25 Luis Performed ac tune up on 3.5 ton American standard heat pump and trane air handler. Indoor unit is from 2004 heat pump from 2017. Check electrical low and high voltage connections and components. Flush drain test pump noticed drain pan collects lot of water before starts draining. Check supply and return air temperatures. 18 degree split. Air filter would not come out without breaking. Provided estimate to upgrade to 213 filter kit. (We will need to do this when filter gets replaced). Went outside and check heat pump refrigeration levels and pressures ok cap and contactor ok. There is low voltage connections that insulation is breaking, provided estimate to replace low voltage wire from splice to outdoor unit. Customer approved repairs and were completed on today visit. Installation of April air upgrade kit Replacement of low voltage wire on outside unit will need (5 feet)

Performed quality assurance on recently installed unit air handler and AC unit check all settings on indoor and outdoor units inspect water safeties check and inspect drain ok. test performance check air flows supply return air temperatures went outside and check all electrical disconnect concrete pad ok system is running within manufacture specifications.

Reviewed home for energy and comfort solutions. Recommend air sealing and insulating attic space and also replacing hvac system with new system.

Checked the AC side of the system . Checked the air filter and replaced. Checked the wiring connections and the voltages on high volt and low volt. Inspected the indoor coil and flushed and tested the drain line. Checked the blower condition and inspected the blower amps and tested for static pressure. Went to the outdoor unit and inspected the wiring connections and the components . Checked and tested the pressures by using superheat and sub cooling methods. Checked the amps for the compressor and the fan motor and checked the indoor cooling temps at the supply and return. The AC system is working fine at this time of service.

Did a QA on a new trane 2stage gas furnace . Check the cleanliness of all the wires and connections. Inspected the gas line to check for leaks . Checked the flue piping and checked the drain lines. Checked the control board for proper set up and checked the thermostat for set up. Checked outdoor level and the disconnect level and made sure all penetrations are caulked . Tested the a/c system operation, found refrigerant charge was good. Talked with the customer to see if he had any questions. I helped the customer set up her schedule for the thermostat. The new system looks good. It’s up and running at this time of service.

Issue was water leaking on to floor. 3 Ton heat pump with 10KW electric heat. Air handler downflow on second floor. Tested system. Refrigerant levels very low running at 79 psi… Unit has been freezing up as a result of low refrigerant pressures. Blew drain clear and poured water to test. Created estimates for repairs. 1. Charge system up to 3# R410A 2. plan membership, charge system, add leak detection dye, install ez trap 3. Plan membership, charge system, install ez trap, install clean out tee, install hard start kit for outdoor unit. Discussed consultation for system upgrade options. Scheduled consultation for both home performance and HVaC system upgrade 10AM tomorrow Charged diagnostic today.

Return visit to check for refrigeration leaks. I did change filters. And inspected coils indoor and outdoor. Refrigerant pressures are within range. I was not able to see any dye signs. Customer will run unit as normal and would call us when they have an issue.
