Performed a diagnostic on a 3-ton Carrier system. Upon arrival, I found the evaporator coil and suction line freezing due to the indoor blower motor not operating. I performed diagnostic testing on the blower motor and confirmed the motor has failed and will need to be replaced. A proposal was provided for blower motor replacement. During the full system inspection, I found the blower wheel heavily compacted with debris, which places additional stress on the blower motor and reduces airflow. The evaporator coil is also heavily impacted with dirt and debris and requires cleaning. Due to the condition of the coil, I recommended a pull-and-clean evaporator coil cleaning service. I also found the contactor badly pitted and worn. Replacement is recommended to prevent future electrical failures. The system has not received maintenance in approximately two years. I recommended a preventive maintenance service, including cleaning and treating the drain line, cleaning the condenser coil, and

Performed a diagnostic on the downstairs unit. Upon inspection, I found debris in the drain pan, heavy algae buildup inside the drain line, bacterial growth inside the air handler cabinet, and bacteria and debris accumulated on the blower wheel. I also found the condenser coil heavily compacted with dirt and in need of cleaning. I provided an estimate for the recommended repairs, including blower wheel removal and cleaning, microbial treatment, condenser coil cleaning, Drain Line Service Level 3, and the diagnostic service call. The proposal was sent to the property management company, and they will contact the homeowner for approval. At this time, approval was given for the Drain Line Service Level 3 and condenser coil cleaning only. I applied Drain Solve to the drain line and allowed it to work while performing the condenser coil cleaning. I removed the condenser covers, applied coil cleaner, and thoroughly cleaned the condenser coil. Afterward, I vacuumed the drain line to remove

During today’s visit, the drain line was found to be clogged, causing the float switch to trip and shut the system down. A Level 2 drain line service was performed to clear the blockage and restore operation. The system is now running and cooling properly. While inspecting the 2013 Carrier system, several additional recommendations were identified to improve reliability, efficiency, and indoor air quality. These include evaporator coil cleaning, blower wheel cleaning, contactor replacement, capacitor replacement, microbial growth treatment, UV light installation, and surge protection for both the indoor and outdoor equipment. Additionally, slight traces of refrigerant were detected near the evaporator coil area with an electronic leak detector. At this time, the detection was not strong enough to confirm an active refrigerant leak, and system pressures remain stable. Continued monitoring is recommended, and further leak diagnostics may be needed if future refrigerant-related issues d

Performed a diagnostic on a Goodman R-22 air conditioning system 20yrs old. Upon arrival, found the outdoor condenser not receiving 240 volts. Inspected the electrical panel and found the breaker tripped. Reset the breaker and attempted to restart the system; however, the breaker tripped again immediately. Performed electrical testing on the compressor and found the compressor shorted to ground. The grounded compressor is causing the breaker to trip and preventing system operation. Due to compressor failure, the system is unable to operate properly. Notified property management of the findings and advised that the system will require replacement due to the failed compressor and the age of the R-22 equipment. Contacted the office and created a lead for a new system replacement estimate. There were communication difficulties with the customer on site. Per Adam and Heather, the invoice will be sent directly for billing. Findings: * Outdoor condenser not receiving 240 volts. * Breaker

Performed a diagnostic on a 10-year-old Carrier 3-ton system due to the unit freezing up. Upon arrival, the tenant had already defrosted most of the ice buildup; however, ice was still present on the capillary tube. Tested system operation and found the unit running with extremely low suction pressure of approximately 60 PSI, indicating the system is significantly low on refrigerant. To verify the condition, the system was also operated in heating mode and suction pressure remained at approximately 60 PSI, confirming a low refrigerant charge condition. Contacted the customer and provided options for refrigerant recharge and leak detection services. The customer approved the complementary leaking search and adding refrigerant. As a courtesy, I performed a complimentary leak inspection of the evaporator coil and confirmed the evaporator coil is leaking refrigerant. While beginning to add refrigerant to improve operation, approximately 8 ounces of refrigerant were added, the customer c

Performed preventive comfort maintenance on the upstairs 2.5-ton system, approximately 7 years old. During the inspection, the blower wheel was found to be heavily contaminated with dirt and debris. Removal and professional cleaning of the blower wheel is recommended to restore proper airflow and system efficiency. The return plenum requires vacuuming and sanitization due to the accumulation of contaminants. Additionally, bacterial growth was observed inside the air handler cabinet. A complete sanitization treatment is recommended to help improve indoor air quality and prevent further microbial growth. The existing UV light system is currently powered from the equipment transformer. It is recommended to install a dedicated transformer for the UV light to prevent unnecessary strain on the system’s electrical components and improve long-term reliability. No surge protection was found on either the condenser or air handler. Surge protectors are highly recommended to help protect the e

Performed comfort maintenance on the downstairs 2.5-ton system 7 yrs old. During the inspection, I found the blower wheel heavily impacted with dirt and debris. The blower wheel should be removed and professionally cleaned to restore proper airflow and system efficiency. I also found the evaporator coil compacted with debris, restricting airflow through the coil. I recommend removing and cleaning the evaporator coil. Additionally, bacterial growth was observed inside the air handler cabinet. I recommend performing a complete coil and cabinet sanitizing treatment to help improve indoor air quality and prevent further biological growth. The UV light currently installed is not operating on a dedicated transformer. I recommend installing a separate transformer for the UV light to prevent unnecessary strain on the HVAC equipment’s electrical components and ensure proper UV system operation. No surge protection was found on either the condenser or air handler. I recommend installing surg

Seal duct leakage above garage and passive return to the son's room, and inspect the ductwork over the rest of the home. Cut plywood sheathing as needed.

Performed a diagnostic on a 5-ton Goodman system 5yrs old. Upon inspection, I found the dual capacitor for the compressor was out of tolerance and the contactor was badly pitted. The condenser coil is dirty and requires cleaning. During the inspection, I also found the safety float switch installed in a higher-than-normal position. The customer stated that a previous company had recommended placing it there. I explained that when the float switch is installed too high, it may not properly perform its intended safety function. I left the switch in its current position. I recommended a drain line cleaning with Drain Sol treatment; however, the customer declined this service at this time. I also discussed the benefits of a maintenance agreement with the customer. The customer approved the replacement of the dual capacitor and contactor only. After completing the repairs, I tested the system in cooling mode and checked system pressures, subcooling, superheat, temperature split, compress

Performed a diagnostic on the pool heater and found a failed capacitor and a badly pitted contactor. I contacted the customer, explained the findings, and received approval for the recommended repairs. The customer also requested preventive maintenance on the pool heater. I replaced the defective capacitor and contactor, then completed a full maintenance service. Maintenance included rinsing the condenser coil, removing debris from inside the condenser cabinet, checking system pressures, inspecting electrical components, and verifying compressor amps, fan motor amps, contactor operation, and capacitor performance. After completing the repairs and maintenance, I tested the system thoroughly. The pool heater is operating properly at this time, and all readings are within normal operating ranges. System is running correctly with no issues found after repairs.
