Performed a diagnostic on a 3-ton ComfortTemp heat pump system after the customer reported that the outdoor unit was not running while the indoor blower was operating. During the inspection, I found that both the dual run capacitor and contactor had failed, preventing the outdoor unit from operating. I explained the necessary repairs to the customer, and they approved replacement of both components. While inspecting the system, I also found that the filter drier is heavily corroded, the compressor shows significant corrosion, and the evaporator coil is also corroded. The system is approximately 13 years old and is no longer under manufacturer warranty. I discussed the overall condition of the equipment with the customer and explained that, due to its age and condition, replacement should be considered. I reviewed the benefits of installing a new high-efficiency system, including improved performance, energy savings, reliability, and the option of an extended labor warranty. The cust

Performed a diagnostic on a 3.5-ton Carrier straight cool system. The air handler was manufactured in 2022, and the condenser was manufactured in 2023. Checked system operation in cooling and found the system to be low on refrigerant. The manufacturer calls for approximately 10°F subcooling, but the system was reading 0°F, confirming a low refrigerant charge. Performed a complete system inspection, including checking blower motor amperage, compressor amperage, condenser fan motor amperage, capacitor, and temperature split. During the inspection, I found the supply plenum leaking as well as the return plenum beneath the air handler leaking, both of which need to be properly sealed to improve system efficiency and airflow. The customer approved adding refrigerant to restore cooling performance. Added 3 lbs of R-410A refrigerant and collected payment for the diagnostic. After charging the system, tested operation again and verified the unit is cooling properly and operating normally at

HVAC Diagnostic Report Performed a diagnostic on the HVAC system. This is a 2023 Carrier heat pump. Checked system operation in cooling mode, including amp draw, refrigerant pressures, and temperature split. During my inspection, I found the evaporator coil at the indoor unit is heavily restricting airflow due to significant dirt accumulation and microbial growth within the coil fins. This buildup is reducing airflow across the coil, causing the system to operate inefficiently. Although the system is still cooling, it is not performing at its full capacity because of the restricted airflow. While at the property, I also observed that two bedroom windows were left open. I took photographs and uploaded them to the work order for documentation. I advised the tenant to close the windows, as the outdoor ambient temperature is approximately 101°F. With the windows open, excessive heat is entering the home, forcing the HVAC system to work continuously and making it difficult to maintain th

Performed a diagnostic on a 5-ton Rheem system. The customer reported that the system is not cooling properly. Upon inspection, I found the system has been poorly maintained. The evaporator coil is heavily impacted with dust, debris, and significant biological growth, severely restricting airflow. The condenser coil is also heavily restricted with dirt and debris, reducing the system’s ability to reject heat efficiently. I checked the system operating pressures, subcooling, superheat, and temperature split to evaluate overall performance. The customer asked for the cost to clean both the evaporator and condenser coils. I provided a quote for both coil cleanings. However, the customer felt the price was higher than expected and declined all recommended repairs at this time. The customer chose to pay only the diagnostic fee and did not authorize any additional work.

Performed a diagnostic on a 2.5-ton Carrier system, approximately 3 years old. Upon arrival, I found the system not cooling properly. During inspection of the thermostat and air handler, I observed water in the safety float switch, causing the outdoor unit to shut down and preventing normal cooling operation. I inspected the condensate drain system and found the primary drain line and safety float switch area full of water. The drain line was draining very poorly due to a blockage. I contacted the homeowner and provided a quote for a drain line cleaning. The homeowner approved the repair by phone. I proceeded with a complete drain cleaning by snaking the drain line, vacuuming the drain, and flushing the system with approximately 4 gallons of hot water until the water flowed clear. I cleaned the drain pan and applied Viper treatment to help prevent future buildup and microbial growth. After completing the drain cleaning, I tested system operation and checked compressor amperage, condens

Performed a diagnostic on a package unit, less than one year old and currently covered under the manufacturer’s parts and labor warranty. Upon arrival, I found the unit in lockout with a four-flash fault code, indicating an R-32 refrigerant sensor fault. I performed a leak inspection of both the evaporator coil and condenser coil using a leak detector and found no signs of a refrigerant leak. I reset the system, but the unit immediately returned to the same four-flash fault code. I contacted the office and spoke with Adam. The system will remain temporarily down while the replacement R-32 sensor is ordered under warranty. The office has scheduled a technician to return later today to replace the faulty sensor. At this time, only the indoor fan is operating, and the unit is not providing cooling. Replaced the faulty R-32 refrigerant sensor on the package unit under the manufacturer’s parts and labor warranty. After installation, I tested the system through a complete cooling cycle. T

PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to warranty or guarantee the addition of refrigerant today as the leak location has not been identified and repaired. This masks an underlying larger issue that must be rectified.

Performed a diagnostic on a 3-ton Carrier system. The customer stated that the outdoor unit has been making excessive noise. I inspected the system and verified operation by checking system pressures, compressor amperage, condenser fan motor amperage, blower motor amperage, capacitor, contactor, and temperature split. During the inspection, I found the following issues: * Contactor is heavily pitted and should be replaced. * Capacitor is out of tolerance and should be replaced. * Condenser fan motor is failing, making excessive noise, and has grease leaking from the bearings. The installed motor is also the incorrect size for the unit and should be replaced. * Condenser coil is dirty and requires a chemical cleaning. * Evaporator coil is heavily corroded, dirty, and covered with bacterial growth. * Air handler cabinet has significant bacterial growth and requires sanitizing. * Blower wheel is heavily compacted with dirt and should be removed and professionally cleaned. * Drain line

Performed a diagnostic on a 4-ton, 12-year-old Lennox system. Upon arrival, I found the suction line completely covered with ice, preventing me from connecting my gauges. The evaporator coil was also completely frozen. I disconnected the condenser to allow the system to defrost so the equipment could be inspected properly. After the ice melted, I performed a complete inspection. The previous technician had already documented several recommendations, and I found the same issues still present due to the lack of proper maintenance. The evaporator coil is severely deteriorated with excessive corrosion and is heavily compacted with dust and debris. Because of the coil’s condition, it is not a candidate for cleaning and should be replaced. The air filter was completely soaked with water, so I removed it and left the system without a filter until it can be replaced. I also inspected the outdoor condenser coil and found it heavily compacted with dirt and debris, restricting airflow. The con

Performed a diagnostic on a newly installed system (approximately one year and few months old). Upon arrival, I found the system locked out due to pressure switch cycling. After resetting the system, I noticed an intermittent issue with the existing Nest thermostat that was likely causing the system to short cycle. While troubleshooting, the thermostat was calling for cooling, but I was not receiving 24 volts at the condenser. I reset the air handler breaker, and the system resumed normal operation. I performed a complete operational check, including testing the capacitor, compressor amperage, condenser fan motor amperage, refrigerant pressures, temperature split, subcooling, and superheat. All readings were within normal operating specifications after the reset. I also tested the condensate drain line and confirmed it was draining properly. Based on the intermittent thermostat issue, I recommended replacing the thermostat. The customer was interested, so I showed him an open-box Ho
