Reviewed home to see if consolidating 2 systems into 1 system is possible. Lineset is undersized, will need to run a new lineset with linehide and will need to run new wiring from panel to outdoor unit with new breaker. Ductwork will need to be modified and zoned with (3) trunk dampers. Other option would be to replace 2 systems and keep configuration the way it is. Ductwork is old and insulation is in poor condition but some is inaccessible.

SOLD: 06/23/2025 4:01:32 PM - Best Best system for performance, comfort, and value.

System was struggling to cool Found very dirty outdoor coil. Head pressure high 435 Cleaned with nearby hose. Ran system, after 10 min run time head pressure 350. Left estimate to deep clean including taking frame of unit apart if needed in future. Also noticed system did not engage AC2 or second stage cooling. They had a power outage on Thursday. Reset both circuits. Told them to reset breakers anytime a power outage occurs. Pressures are good. Temp split 87-67.5 Give system time to dehumidify and cool.

Upon arrival I found thermostat was calling for cooling but outdoor unit was not running. Found breaker for AC unit was in the off position but not the tripped position. Reset breaker and cycled cooling while checking amp draws. System had proper amperage, but there were many concerns due to systems age. The top of the unit is made out of plastic, which is shattering and is the only thing holding the condenser fan up. if the fan breaks free, it’ll cause a lot of damage to the system. Recommended getting a quote to replace system as soon as possible.

Performed precision a/c tune up on American standard a/c system. Replaced 16x25x1 air filter. Checked all electrical connections and components. Checked temperature split. Cleaned out ez trap. Tested condensation pump. Checked refrigerant pressures and temperatures at indoor and outdoor units. A/c is working properly at time of service.

Upon arrival I performed diagnostic on a system. I found air filter was extremely restricted, which was not allowing proper airflow. After replacing air filter and establishing proper airflow, I cycled system and cooling. Proceeded to outdoor unit and found wire melted off contactor. Had to replace contactor due to lug terminal being welded. Cycled system several times to ensure proper operation. System is operating appropriately at this time.

Customer had alert on Trane Link thermostat that said call for service” The equipment started working today. Alert history showed condensate switch open. Ther EZ trap, pump safety and wet switch were fine, not tripped or open. I put wet switch on a zip tie to prevent nuisance tripping of the switch. Explained that humidity can sometimes falsely set off wet switch. Also cleared EZ trap and tested pump. Add d treatment tabs to pump. Double checked thermostat configuration/settings. Recommend he replace filter. He agreed. Replaced filter today. Filter is Aprilaire 313. System operating well at this time.
