Luis 5-14-26 Performed ac tune up on trane 3.5 ton heat pump cooling side. Replacement of customer supplied 413 filter. Indoor coil ok flush drain check supply and return air temps. Blower Motor and coils ok. Humidifier is off. I noticed water heater is old, expansion tanks has failed. Provided information about replacement and repairs. Check outdoor unit electrical components low and high voltage. All electrical parts are old and original to system 12 years. Check refrigerant levels ok at this time. Cycle unit ok. System currently operational but nearing end of normal life expectancy. Due to age, replacement of system should be considered in near future. System does not have water protection/surge protection emailed estimate to add safeties

Arrived for recurring low voltage fuse blowing. Removed low voltage wires from furnace terminal block while leaving wires in the thermostat subbase and tested for any continuity between the low voltage wires. Found No continuity between any of the wires. The thermostat is likely randomly causing the short. Replaced T6 non WiFi thermostat with a FocusPro P200 configured and wired for high efficiency gas heat with AC. This includes pulling back sheathing and stripping to all new conductors at the thermostat. Double checked all wiring connections. Ran system in cooling 10 min from the thermostat Ran system in heating 10 min from thermostat Ran system in fan only 5+ minutes. Low voltage fuse did not pop. System operating well at this time.

No heat: Found blown low voltage 3A fuse This is the 3rd time since 12/22/25. We replaced thermostat 12/23/25 I checked for any shorts or breaks in low voltage wiring. Also arranged low volt wiring so that there is 1 conductor in each terminal on terminal block. Put new fuse in and tested system in heat and cooling. Fuse randomly tripped 2X while testing. Once in heating and once in cooling -Checked outdoor contactor coil 18 ohms Good -Switched low voltage conductors used at AC (from red and white to grey and black. - then tested by physically jumping out wires at system ran in cooling 10 min without any blown fuse this way then in heating for another 10 min. No blown fuses. Then wired thermostat back and placed on wall. Tested from thermostat monitoring for any blown fuses. 3A fuse did not blow after changing conductors used at outdoor (low voltage). Should problem recur I Provided estimate for Honeywell S12000 thermostat with EIM which will allow us to provide controls using on

Luis 5-5-26 found kitchen sink sprayed blocked, clean strainer and test operation, after cleaning screen test operation ok food flow of water now. No charge warranty.

No cooling: homeowners described indoor fan runs but not outdoor equipment Equipment is Heat pump/Gas Furnace hybrid installed by Dibiase June 2019. 7 years old. Made demand for cooling from thermostat Started by checking Equipment interface module @ indoor equipment and making sure there was demand for cooling from thermostat Outdoor equipment control displaying 04 error code “locked rotor” Checked start components: 35/5 capacitor reading perfect. KS1 start assist reading 0 and a burn mark on top near terminal. Was hot to the touch. Hard start Kit has failed. Was installed May 28 2024 so replacement is covered by Dibiase 2-year guarantee. Replaced and tested. Cleaned outdoor coil with nearby hose. (Backside only had layer of dirt) Recommend replacing Aprilaire 213 filter ASAP. Limit use of system until you can replace it. Offered to replace today. Recommend replacing every 6 months. System operating well at this time.

Estimate

4/17/26. Fully assessed no cooling situation on 2016 trane a/c system. Found dirty Aprilaire 413 filter, replaced with one homeowner provided. Found system not cooling at all but compressor was running. R410a refrigerant pressures were 225/208, very high on low side. Compressor was also very loud and failing. Homeowner said that the parts still may be under warranty. Provided estimate to replace compressor and txv under warranty if it is but explained to him that being 10 years old it does not make sense at all to replace the compressor due to the coils can leak at any time. Recommend replacing the a/c system. Need to set up appointment for Monday to give replacement estimate.

Luis 4-16-26 no cooling, water sensor activated, found water source to be leaking toilet non related to installation. Customer will take care of this issue I tested the ac unit ok no issue with ac or ac drain line. Provided estimate to install one in air cleaner 20x20x1

4/15/26 Dan Customer had said his new Trane heat pump system is short cycling and will not come back on , so it’s not cooling. I found my system had very high pressure. System ended up being overcharged. I had to pull some charge out of the system to get back to the nameplate specifications. The system is back up and running as normal . No charge for today recall.
