Luis 8-4-26 Customer called in for no cooling. Found system off upon arrival. Customer noticed water around indoor unit and air was not cold. Test system operation, check air filter 210 ok. Blower runs. No temperature split difference. Went outside and check refrigerant levels to be low. System is around 2 years old. Indoor coil is showing manufacture date 4/2021 warranty on indoor coil expired this year. I provided estimate to add refrigerant and dye. Adding refrigerant will get the system running again and dye will tell us where the system is leaking it could be indoor or outdoor coils. Refrigerant could last couple weeks, days or years customer is aware this condition. Customer agreed to add refrigerant added 3 lbs of refrigerant, test system operation ok system is now working properly to manufacture specifications. Super heat and sub cooling ok. (Customer declined adding dye and service plan) she will contact original contractor to see if there is any warranty.

I arrived for no AC call on a Miller 24-year-old r22 system. I turn the system on to check operation. Indoor filter look fine. Blower comes on checked my charge outside and found low on suction. I inspected my indoor coil and found it to block ice. I turned the cooling off and pulled the disconnect. Set the fan to fan on at the thermostat to start the process of melting the ice on indoor coil. Luis is coming back about an hour or so to check and recessed the cooling situation. The unit is very old and needs to be replaced.please collect for $99.00 when Luis finishes the call .

Luis 7-6-26 Talk to customer upon arrival he described no cooling situation Saturday midday, customer lost power Friday night. He reset the unit Saturday afternoon and ever since unit has been running. Test system operation indoor outdoor I didn’t see any error codes at the indoor or outdoor unit system is working properly at the time of visit. I did explain to customer. It’s a two-stage communication system sometimes when system lose power. Computers don’t react right away by resetting breakers It automatically resets the unit and start working again.

System not cooling. When I arrived was 78° in living room where thermostat is. Homeowner mentioned and I can confirm that the foyer and dining room in the front of the house are comfortable but where thermo is “living room” it gets as high as 80° Went to indoor equipment and found 20° temperature delta. Fan speed 1050 CFM. We have already experimented by setting fan speed to 1200 and it made this problem worse. See history. I found (2) branch ducts for the area that remains hot closed. They are labeled “ kitchen” and “living room”, the duct labeled “powder room” was also closed but we want to keep that one closed. This was more than likely done to try to force more air to the second floor. Zoning options or adding a (2) head Minisplit should be considered. After opening the dampers labeled kitchen and living room temperature did drop on the living room 1°. Subcooling matches target 10° System operating well at this time.

No cooling. Homeowner described indoor equipment running but no operation from outdoor unit. Found failed dual capacitor at outdoor unit. Homeowner agreed to replace capacitor. Condenser fan motor originally did not start because it was off on internal overload. Once motor came back to temperature it reset closed on internal overload. Refrigerant pressures good 10° Subcooling Temperature split 86-65=21° Good As a reminder the water heater expansion tank is failed. Prof email estimate as well as estimate for new water heater. System operating well at this time. Was installed December 2014. 10 years old. Average lifespan of forced air HVAC equipment is 10-12 years, would strongly consider planning to replace system.
