Honey Brook, PA

Upon arrival I found blower motor was randomly cutting in and out due to faulty control board. Also found a 10uf capacitor reading 4uf. Gave homeowner estimate to replace capacitor and control board. Homeowner accepted estimate and paid deposit on repair. Control board was order from APR westchester. removed blower motor wires from control board and wired blower to run constantly. This will give them cooling until we are able to come back and perform repair.

Performed 6 month inspection on Bosch heat pump system. Tested in cooling mode. Replaced 18x20x1 air filter. Checked all electrical connections and components. Homeowner purchased room sensors to try to help temperature differences in the home from 1st and 2nd floor. Also turned on dip switch 4 at outdoor unit for accelerated cooling to try to help. Check temperature split. Checked refrigerant pressures and temperatures. Inspected ez trap, a/c is working properly at 6 month inspection.

Installed new trane gas furnace and indoor coil with a new 23x20x1 filter rack. Reconnected existing return duct, adapted to existing supply duct. Adapted to gas piping and leak checked all joints. Installed a new ez trap and condensation pump with new vinyl tubing to the discharge point. Adapted to existing 3 inch vent piping. Installed new trane air conditioner on a new concrete pad and re leveled the ground beneath. Installed a new mars disconnect with a built in surge protector. Installed a new refrigeration line set from outdoor unit to indoor coil, pressure tested to 350 psi leak checked all joints before evacuating system down to 500 microns.

No cooling 3 Ton R410A AC Found micro leak at indoor coil. Bottom right of A-coil. We need to research coil replacement options. I recorded current indoor coil model and serial numbers. It’s 410A Aspen coil, System is completely flat of refrigerant. Jacob Shoemaker was here and had pressurized. Leak rate very small. Confirmed leak is at indoor coil. Charged diagnostic only today. We will provide quote for indoor coil replacement. May have to do new R454B AC system if R410A equipment is not available

Estimate

Fully assessed no cooling situation. Found 2005 r-22 trane system everything running but only had a 14 degree temperature split. When it’s ver hot out a/c is only keeping the home around 80 degrees. Went outside to outdoor unit and checked refrigerant pressures they were 235/59 with 30 superheat, low on charge. Explained to homeowner that we really don’t charge up r-22 systems anymore. Also found contactor and capacitor in rough shape. Recommend replacement of gas furnace a/c. Set up appointment with our office to give a replacement quote.

Made the repair on outdoor fan bracket screw. Replaced with new.

Measurements of current unit so we can provide estimate to upgrade system. I did check all the vents and all the vents are blowing 100%. I talked to Joe on site. He will provide a estimate.

Upon arrival I found suction line was frosting while running in AC. insured there was proper airflow across indoor coil. Checked refrigerant pressures outside and suction crasher at 5 PSI. when I switched reversing valve to heating, I found discharge pressure was at 650 psi causing compressor to rattle. they said the case that there is a refrigerant restriction in system. In order to repair system, we will have to remove refrigerant and replace TXV, filter dryer and piston. We will then have to evacuate system and recharge with new factory which would be 14 lbs of 410 refrigerant. Even though the outdoor unit is from 2022, the indoor air handler is from 2004. I recommended also considering replacing system due to other parts that may fail on air handler and since we are unable to get a 410A air handler, it would have to be the whole system. gave homeowner estimate for repair, but they would like to weigh their option and let us know. parts are quoted under PO at Pierce Phillips Westche

Customer called in for control issue, sometimes temperature would not hold on thermostat will keep flashing cool on. Test operation of unit upon arrival. Check indoor and outdoor unit, based on what customer stated thermostat would not work properly would recommend replacing stat. I also did noticed sub cooling levels were lower. Could be due to original install date not enough refrigerant was added. Provided estimate to add refrigerant and thermostat replacement, customer approved Replacement or thermostat and add refrigerant, test operation of system ok. Customer signed up for service plan. Would want to use first visit for upcoming winter. Customer will be replacing filter soon
