Professional HVAC Services in Davenport, FL

Performed a diagnostic on the Pioneer mini-split system. Tested system operation and found the unit running. Checked system pressures and measured only 36 PSI on the suction side, indicating the system is significantly low on refrigerant. Contacted property management and explained the findings, including the potential difficulty of sourcing replacement parts for this system. Recommended considering a complete system replacement due to possible parts availability issues. Property management requested a replacement proposal, and I forwarded the call to Kenneth, who will handle the proposal for the new system. I also offered a refrigerant leak search; however, Jimmy declined authorization at this time, as he is considering system replacement and needs to discuss the options with the homeowner. System Status: The unit has been temporarily taken out of service pending the homeowner’s decision regarding repair or replacement.

Performed a diagnostic on the downstairs HVAC system. The air handler was operating, and the thermostat had a display, but the outdoor unit was not running. Upon inspection, I found the contactor was receiving a call for the compressor, but no 240V high-voltage power was present. I inspected the pull-out disconnect and found that it sparked when touched, indicating a poor electrical connection. For safety, I turned off the breaker and removed the pull-out disconnect. I tightened the contact points inside the disconnect and applied dielectric grease to help improve electrical contact. After reinstalling the disconnect and restoring power, I tested the system and confirmed that the outdoor unit started and operated normally. I checked the compressor amps, condenser fan motor amps, system pressures, subcooling, superheat, and temperature split. The system is back up and running normally at this time. Maintenance Agreement and Payment: The customer signed up for a Cub Club maintenance

Performed a diagnostic on the Raypak pool heater and found that the unit was not igniting. The control display was locked, preventing access to the heater settings. I contacted the customer to obtain the access code, but she did not have it. The customer authorized removal of the lock so I could access the controls and continue troubleshooting. Upon further inspection, I found that the pilot igniter assembly was severely corroded and deteriorating. The heat exchanger was also severely corroded and falling apart. I explained the condition of the heater to the customer and advised that replacing the damaged components would likely cost more than installing a new unit. The customer declined replacement at this time. I collected the $79 diagnostic fee. For safety reasons, I left the electrical breaker in the OFF position and shut off the gas supply. The heater remains completely out of service until the customer decides how to proceed. I contacted the office to request a follow-up call

Performed a diagnostic on the downstairs unit after finding the thermostat blank. Inspected the system safety float switch and found it activated due to a drain pan filled with water. Further inspection revealed a clogged condensate drain line. Cleared the drain line using a drain snake, flushed the line with four gallons of hot water, and applied Viper drain treatment. After completing the drain cleaning, I tested the condensate drainage and checked the system temperature split to verify proper operation. The unit is back up and running, cooling and draining properly at this time.

Performed preventive maintenance in accordance with the maintenance agreement. Operated the system in cooling mode and inspected system performance, including compressor amperage, condenser fan motor amperage, blower motor amperage, temperature split, subcooling, and superheat. Removed and thoroughly cleaned the condensate pump, then applied Viper treatment to help prevent biological buildup. Disconnected and flushed the main condensate drain line to remove potential obstructions. Rinsed the condenser coil to remove accumulated debris and flushed one gallon of water through the condensate pump to verify proper drainage and operation. Upon completion of maintenance, the system was tested and confirmed to be cooling and draining properly at this time.

Performed a diagnostic on the Carrier heat pump system the air handler is 2.5 to and condenser is 3.5 ton. Upon inspection, I found the evaporator coil, suction line, and compressor area completely covered in solid ice. I shut down the compressor and allowed the system to thaw. After returning from lunch, I checked the system pressures and found the suction pressure extremely low at 48 PSI, indicating a severe refrigerant shortage. I contacted the office to report the findings and performed a complementary leak search on the evaporator coil. A leak had been detected in this coil several years ago, and the current inspection confirmed that the leak has worsened. I contacted the office, and property management approved adding refrigerant as a temporary measure. I added 5 pounds of R-410A refrigerant. After charging the system, it was operating temporarily at this time. Unit conditions are critical. Property management also requested a proposal for complete system replacement. I collec
