Issue is with noise at outdoor unit. 2 ton Goodman r32 When I first arrived the attic system was off. Made demand for cooling and monitored, suction pressure was high 163 but subcooling and superheat were both nearly perfect 10 Temperature split is 12° (78-66) Speed tap was tap 8 1045 CFM (Tap1 jumpered to tap 4) removed jumper so now tap 4 845 CFM. Temperature delta across filter drier 1.8° Good. Temperature split did not improve much and suction pressure while initially was a little better 152. I caught the pressure randomly jump back in to 163. Megaohm test shows initially red and gradually climb to barely acceptable megaohms. See video. I believe it’s a compressor issue. Will relay all info to management They are having issues with the first floor system indoor SpackePak AC/Air handler randomly tripping breaker. Determined that the 15A double pole breaker is for outdoor unit. Went through this system wiring. Compressor megaohms pass. High voltage outdoor and indoor. Ok. I

6/12/26 fully assessed no cooling situation on recently installed trane a/c. Talked to Barbara about the situation and it only shuts off during the hottest times and blower continues to run but not outside unit. When I arrived everything was running fine. Water had drained away correctly. Only thing I found was the a2l sensor was still wet and getting dripped on. Had a new a2l sensor on the truck. Replaced sensor and also moved its location to the vertical drain pan to see if this fixes the situation. Barbara will let us know if this works or not. Issue is a very intermittent problem that is not easy to catch. A/c is working properly at time of service. Replaced part under warranty.

I arrived to look at a newly installed a/c systems. Customer also had said he gas a lot of switches not working. I found his main panel has a failed surged protection. Found both indoor boards with no display . I have 121 volts coming into the unit. I have 24 volts on the transformer, but no display. Also main breaker panel has a failed surged panel protection. I believe we will be coming back control boards Saturday to see if we can get the units back up and running still might be more potential issues due to the surge.

Issue is blank thermostat. I found the EZ trap float switch detached from the top of trap and laying on the floor. This is the cause of no power being present to thermostat. 20x20x1 Filter ok Tested system operations and measured temperature split. 19° Good System operating well at this time.

estimate

Inspected equipment and discussed options with clients. They are very concerned with the noise from the outdoor unit and energy cost. We discsussed options as well to put an auto shutoff on the water heater and a mixing valve to increase capcity.

5/22/26. Recently installed system working properly, found Exsisting thermostat set up to enter a code to unlock. Un locked with Honeywell universal code 1234. Possibly from install could have also been an accident by the customer. Also found an alert on the screen for outside sensor. There is no outside sensor being used by the new system. Went into programming and removed outside sensor. Heat pump is working properly at time of service.

5/22/26. Fully assessed no cooling situation on 13 year old Lennox heat pump system. Found heat pump not running outside. Found circuit board displaying high pressure lock out but not coming out of it after resetting power. Checked and made sure high and low pressure switches were closed and they were. Explained to the homeowner that there is a good chance there is something more wrong with the system past a failed defrost control board. Provided estimate for repair but due to being 13 years old it’s not worth the risk. Recommend replacing heat pump system.
