Replaced failed blower motor. Cleaned housing and secondary heat exchanger while housing was removed. I noticed thermostat Y contacts did not close when I first turned on AC. Suggested replacing thermostat. Homeowners agreed The blower motor capacitor was reading 7.5uF. No need to replace at this time. Instead recommended replacing the contactor as it was very rusted and noisy. Refrigerant data indicates a slight overcharge or metering device issue. Temperature split 200 *At one point I accidentally miswired a control wire leading me to believe there was a problem with low voltage wire between outdoor unit and indoor control. But I resolved this by the end. A consultation for new system was made. Homeowners now have concrete options for system replacement. System operating ok at this time, Equipment is propane furnace with 3 ton AC dating to late 1995 early 1996. 30 years old. Homeowner paid balance for new blower motor, P200 thermostat and contactor today.

5/29/26. Fully assessed no cooling situation on 2019 amana heat pump system. Gave system a call for cooling at the thermostat. Found indoor blower running but not outside unit. Found heat pump locked out on an L6 code. Reset system and compressor would not start. Found that after removing hard start kit that was installed by dibiase in April, compressor started smoothly. Tested hard start kit and found start capacitor failed. Explained to Chad that we are just passed the 2 year guarantee for the 1st hard start kit installed. Recommended ordering and installing the factory o.e.m. Hard start kit . Customer agreed over the phone. Performed megometer test over compressor everything checked out fine. Will need to return with replacement oem hard start kit. A/c is working at time of service.

I arrived to the customers home for a no cooling. I found the blower motor is seized, the furnace is 20+ years . I recommended replacing of the furnace and AC , customer does not want to replace it yet. Will like to try to Band-Aid and fix it first . I told her the parts may not be available and, if we do replace the motor that there could be potential issues with the AC side not working properly. On site the wires for outdoor unit for the low volt was chewed by a mouse. I did repair the wires. I did send over a acquisition form for the blower motor to see if it is available for that unit. I quoted out $2,090.00 for the repair. I did collect for $ 304.50 for tonight’s repair .

Luis 5-18-26 customer called in for some rooms getting colder than others ac seems to cool fine. Outside weather 88 degrees. System is zone basement and first floor. First floor controls fielder floor and second floor. All registers are open and blowing cold air. Thermostat location is on first floor and usually set to 74 degrees. Second floor will be usually warmer. If customer want more even temperature they will need to lower temperature in first floor thermostat. I also performed ac inspection during today’s visit. I replaced air filter. 413. Flush drain check airflows. Supply and return air temps. Check all electrical connections and components low and high, check outdoor unit electrical components and refrigerant levels. I noticed capacitor is resist very low on resistance, I provided estimate to replace capacitor, customer approved Replacement of capacitor warranty part test operation after repairs ok During today’s visit I noticed black marks on water heater (soot) probably f
