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. Consultations for new systems are free from Dibiase.

Luis 7-3-26 Customer called in for water leak. Found condensation pump not working at all times. Provided estimate to replace pump and vinyl customer approved repairs. Install new pump and vinyl test pump operation ok. I would recommend getting system inspected there could be some issues with ac system.

7/2/26 Dan I arrived to the customers home to service her 12 yr old trane a/c system. . I checked the wiring connections and the voltages . I checked and replaced the indoor air filter , filter size is a 16x20x1. I Inspected the indoor coil and tested the primary drain pan with water and flushed the drain line and cleared. I Took indoor temp splits at the return and the supply and checked the blower motor condition and operation. I looked at the outdoor unit wiring connections and voltages . I inspected the outdoor components and checked my unit pressures by using super heat sub cool method. The system is currently operational but past normal life expectancy. Replacement of system is recommended in the near future.

Added 1 bag of “Solar Salt” brand salt to the brine tank of new water softener system. Homeowner has 1 bag remaining. Informed homeowner she will order more. Gas furnace/AC installed 2017 by Dibiase 9 years old Completed AC tune up for 4 Ton Amana AC system Aprilaire 413 filter ok. Provided email estimate to replace for next tune up. Homeowner may decide to buy them herself. Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; offered surge protector for outdoor equipment circuit, the indoor blower motor has surge protector. Homeowner agreed. Completed work today. Both circuits of the HVAC system now have surge protection. Measured temperature split and static pressure Inspected drains; cleared EZ trap, Checked integrity of compressor motor (mega ohm test) Assessed refrigerant charge checked pressures. Closed bypass humidifier damper and set humidistat to OFF for summer (cooling) season. This is all that is needed for humidifi

Completed AC tune up for 3 Ton Amana heat pump system. System was installed by Dibiase 2/22/19 Replaced 20x20x1 filter Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; equipment has surge protection Measured temperature split and static pressure Inspected drains; cleared EZ trap, cleaned and tested condensate pump. Checked integrity of compressor motor (mega ohm test) Assessed refrigerant charge checked pressures. Good AC system operating well at this time.

Installed 5-2-1 hard start kit at outdoor unit for main house system. Tested afterwards. Completed AC tune up for Main house system. 4Ton Heat pump hybrid system installed 6/7/19 7 years old. Aprilaire 213 filter recently replaced by homeowner Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; left estimates for surge protector for indoor blower motor. The outdoor unit has surge protection, Measured temperature split (22°) and static pressure Inspected drains; clears EZ trap, tested pump; added treatment tabs to drain pan. Recommend wet switch: water safety device that will shut equipment down if water is detected on floor near equipment. Provided estimate Checked integrity of compressor motor (mega ohm test) Assessed refrigerant charge checked pressures. Good AC system operating well at this time. Need to decide whether they want to be billed for 1 time tune up ($89) or for plan membership( $189) recommend plan membership

Completed AC tune up for 3 .5 Ton Carrier AC system 2 zones Honeywell zoning. 1st floor and master bedroom thermostats. House was built in 2024 16x25x5 filter ok, recently replaced by homeowner Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; left estimates for surge protectors Measured temperature split (21°) and static pressure Inspected drains; cleared trap. Provided email estimate for EZ trap which is an AC drain trap with cleanout and overfill protection switch. Checked integrity of compressor motor (mega ohm test) Assessed refrigerant charge checked pressures. 14° SC Good *There is a DAS (discharge air sensor) in the supply plenum. Its purpose is to shut off the outdoor unit (compressor) when the temperature drops below 40° and then cut the compressor back in when temperature rises to 45° during cooling operation, This is to avoid freezing indoor coil especially when only 1 zone is calling and to make system more effic
