NO AC CALL - Found weak capacitor, after further inspection I also noticed contactor is pitted and also no longer reliable. Moving forward I recommend adding a surge protector to outdoor disconnect box due to entire outdoor unit including board and compressor are exposed to any high voltage power surges. I advised client of today’s findings and recommendations. He has decided that he will purchase part online and replace himself. Will collect dispatch fee.

During the maintenance inspection of the 2023 furnace and air conditioning system, all components were found to be in good working condition with no issues noted. The system was clean overall, including the indoor unit and filters. However, the condenser coil was found to have a buildup of debris and is in need of cleaning. The customer was informed and stated they will take care of washing it off themselves. As part of the ongoing maintenance and to enhance system performance and protection, it is recommended to consider the installation of an air scrubber to improve indoor air quality and a surge protector for the outdoor unit to help safeguard the system against power surges.

AC MAINTENANCE ON ONE UNIT. I checked the filter and replaced it with one that the client provided. She also wanted me to replace water panel for the humidifier. I checked the indoor blower wheel motor housing for any obstructions and found none. Motor Amps are within specs, however the variable speed motor is exposed to any high voltage power surges due to it not containing a surge protector. I checked the evaporator coil and found clean. I flushed condensate line with approx 1 gallon of water and added condensate tablets to ensure proper drainage. I checked the Rmax UV light and found okay. I checked all wiring and connections and all limits and safety’s found okay. I proceeded to check the outdoor condenser coil and found inside of the condenser coil full or leafs causing air flow restriction to compressor. I checked pressures and the looked a little high but also due to dirty coils. I checked parts such as the contactor and the capacitor. The capacitor is reading within manufactu

The customer advised that there’s a crack cast-iron pipe inside of the ceiling inside of a café in the building once in the area I use a 6 foot ladder to get closer look at the size of the cast-iron pipe I discovered that the pipe is 2 inches and I advised a customer that I will have to go to supply house to purchase New pipe and also two new no hub bands to reattach the new pipe. Went out to the supply house to pick up material once I return I took out the old existing pipe and took.measurements so that I can measure the new pipe for proper fitment. The length of the old existing pipe was 44 1/2 inches so I cut the new pipe exactly the same length. I attached brand new, no hub bands to the existing piping and attach my new pipe and made final connections. Had the engineer run upstairs to run water.

System Serviced: 2019 Carrier Furnace with Central Air Conditioning System Overview: Performed routine maintenance on a 2019 Carrier furnace system, including a comprehensive inspection and service of both the indoor and outdoor components. The system is currently operational and cooling adequately; however, several observations and recommendations were noted during the inspection. Indoor Unit (Furnace) Maintenance: Inspected blower motor and wheel: No unusual noises or signs of wear. Motor amperage readings within manufacturer specifications. Checked control board and electrical components for signs of overheating or loose connections – all components functioning properly. Evaluated condition of evaporator coil: No excessive buildup noted; coil remains clean and free of blockage. Verified proper drainage from condensate line: Flow was unobstructed at time of service. System filter was heavily soiled due to ongoing home renovations. Filter was replaced, but increased dust and p

Upon arrival customer concerns system is not cool on unit worked on. Unable to do leak test todo. Need to reschedule for leak test. Arrived to do leak search. Found that there's 2 issues not 1. Downstairs a leak seal was preformed. Downstairs units is cooling. I preformed leak search on Downstairs unit and found no die. I checked all line set exposed. Only lineset I could not check was between the home. System is cooling. The main issue is upstairs unit is aswell not cooling. Found system with charge of 80/290. System low on charge. Added brochure to system. System pressures went to 141/400. I noticed the spike in charge. Went to system found 20⁰ split on one side of coil and 10⁰ split on other. Found leak is at the txv. Thermostat is restricted. One half of coil is not getting charge. Need to replace unit with Smart Thermostat.

During the maintenance visit, I checked over the 2021 heat pump system. It’s currently running well and cooling the home as expected. Most components are in good shape and working properly for a system of this age. I did notice that the blower is dirty, with a good amount of dust and debris starting to build up. This can reduce airflow and make the system work harder than it needs to, which could affect efficiency over time. I recommend having the blower cleaned to help everything run more smoothly. I also found that the UV light is no longer working—it appears the bulb has died. Replacing the UV light will help maintain better air quality by reducing mold and bacteria inside the system. Other than those two issues, the system looks good. I recommend continuing with regular maintenance every 6 to 12 months to keep everything in solid shape.
