Garnet Valley, PA

Completed AC tune up for 4 Ton Trane AC system System was installed 6/7;23 by another contractor 20x25x1 filter Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; left estimates for surge protectors Measured temperature split (15°) target is 18-20°and static pressure (1.2”) Inspected drains; cleared EZ trap, tested pump; pump is outside drain pan. Provided email estimate for WiFi water sensor that will shut equipment down if water is detected on floors around equipment Checked integrity of compressor motor (mega ohm test) Assessed refrigerant charge checked pressures. System is under charged. Running at 34° SH 1.2° Subcooling. Target subcooling is 10°. Suction line is warm to the touch and not condensing at all. *Indoor Fan speed tap is tap 7 which will allow for 1600 CFM at measured static pressure It is undercharged either because when it was first installed the refrigerant that is necessary was never added and/or because t

I arrived to the customers home to install a apco x air cleaner. I started with cutting the hole out of the supply plenum to mount the bracket that would hold the Apco. I installed the site glass in the top side of supply plenum and then mounted the Apco x with the bulb. I Secured it with the screws provided, ran the power wire to the furnace with 40 VA transformer. I mounted and wired the 40 VA transformer to 120 V circuit and then wired into 24 V power for the apco x . I turned the system back on to be sure that the Apco X did turn on and I did check the thermostat to see if the fan is in constant circulation or random circulation. I collected the remaining balance for $613.28 paid by cc.

Luis 6-12-26 Performed ac tune up on heil 3.5 ton system from 2015. Check indoor and outdoor units. Electrical low and high. Check air delivery, drain and refrigeration system. Inspect coils, found condensation pump and vinyl not properly working. Drain trap was partially clogged. I provided estimate to take care of this issues. Indoor unit does not have surge protection. I also provided estimate to replace flex line inside heater cabinet and hard pipe. Check outdoor unit electrical components, check refrigerant levels and pressures. Compressor pulls higher at start up. Provided estimate to add kick start to help compressor start at lower watts. Refrigerant levels are slightly lower than normal based on manufacturer data plate (not urgent at this time). I went up with customer about today visit. I presented repairs options with preventative. I also presented system replacement options. Customer will talk to wife. Office to follow up with customer next week.

Luis 6-8-26 Customer called in for no air flow on one side of the house, inspect ductwork heater is located on second floor with main truck on attic. I inspected ductwork, found 12 in flex duct damper feeding that part of the house not working properly (broken lever) provided estimate to remove damper, customer approved repair, and does not want new damper install (manual). Test airflow after repair ok. Air flow is much better now, customer is satisfied. Indoor unit and water heater are located on second floor condensation pump is on the outside of the auxiliary pan, inside auxiliary pan has float switch. Water heater does have a pan but not an alarm. Provided estimate to add water protection, and thermostat upgrade

Arrived for no cooling. Equipment is 3.5 Ton heat pump installed 8/18/23 by another contractor. The air handler dates to 2011. As I passed by outdoor unit I could hear compressor trying to start. Condenser fan was running. Began diagnostics at the outdoor unit. 45uF capacitor tested within range. Found compressor very hot to the touch. I cooled with water 7 min. Megaohm test: Pass on all (3) compressor windings. Tried (2) different kind of start assists to free compressor but to no avail. Also ran system in both heating and cooling to exercise reversing valve and checked pressures switches. They are in proper closed position. Made sure System has refrigerant (187 psi standing) I do not recommend replacing the compressor as the air handler is 15 years old. After discussing with management our only offer is to replace the HVAC system entirely. There is too much risk in dissatisfaction and equipment failure to offer replacement of the compressor alone. Consultations do new systems ar

Basement 90% furnace/AC-(TRANE) -Arrived on site and spoke with customer -Was told system is running but not blowing out cold air -Verified operation on system and verified pressures -System was severely low on refrigerant (hi-200 lo-190) -A return visit is needed and system will be leak searched & charged properly to insure operation (additional charge if we need to add dye/sealant) -System is currently inoperable and a return visit is needed 5/22/26 Ultimately determined that compressor is not running at all for second floor system (but condenser fan is). 45/5 capacitor Good. Tried (2) different kinds of start kits but to no avail. Outdoor units and furnaces were replaced in 2018 but the original indoor coils were kept! Indoor coils are 20 years old. The only warranty remaining is for furnace heat exchanger Standing pressures 165. There is refrigerant in system. Did a complimentary electronic leak search on indoor coil and brazed joints. Sprayed brazed joints with leak detecti

Completed (2) AC tune ups 1st floor system installed August 18, 2021 4 Ton Heat pump; propane hybrid 2nd Floor system installed April 7, 2016 3.5 Ton heat pump; propane hybrid Replaced 16x25x1 filter in attic Replaced Aprilaire 413 filter in basement provided by homeowner. Homeowners have 4 more filters there For each system: Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; left estimates for surge protector for outdoor unit 2nd Floor system, outdoor capacitor for 2nd floor unit reading very weak (27uF; is a 45uF capacitor). Offered to replace. Homeowner agreed. Complework today. Replaced capacitor and tested. Measured temperature split and static pressure Inspected drains; cleared EZ trap, tested pump in basement added treatment tabs to drain pan. Checked integrity of compressor motor (mega ohm test) Assessed refrigerant charge checked pressures. Both ok. Also sprayed schrader cores with leak detection bubbles to insure no

No cooling 1st floor system 4 Ton Heat pump. Homeowners had turned power off to breaker for outdoor unit. Turned breaker back on. Found system running at very low refrigerant levels. Did a complimentary electronic leak search. Could not pinpoint leak. Recovered and weighed what little refrigerant was in system 24oz (Factor charge is 244oz) so system lost 82% of its charge. Lineset is approximately 15’ Pressurized system to 330 psi with dry nitrogen. System held this pressure 35 min. See photos. After The leak could very well have been a schrader core that re-seated when I put my hoses on. We will leave system under pressure. Return early next week and check pressure. If there are no other leaks we will replace all schrader cores, evacuate then charge the system. Left disconnect to this system outdoor unit off. Second floor system still operating. They can use indoor fan for first floor system.

Loss of power to thermostat was caused by a blocked trap in drain line. There is a float switch in the SpacePak drain pan which when acts on by backed up water from drain, broke power to the thermostat. Cleared drain line easily with brush then flushed line with 1.5 Gal. Water. The drain line terminates at a plastic keg that the previous homeowner used for store the water for gardening After clearing drain I completed AC tune up. Equipment is Bosch heat pump/inverter installed by a contractor during renovations of the house in 2021 Replaced 14x30x1 filter the (2) 14x20x1 filters ok Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; left estimates for surge protectors. 1 for indoor equipment and 1 for outdoor equipment. Measured temperature split and static pressure Inspected drains; cleared trap. Assessed refrigerant charge checked pressures. 8° Subcooling: Perfect AC system operating well at this time.
