09/06/2024 Today, I arrived on site for cooling maintenance and found the following issues: The filter is slightly dirty, but the owner will replace it with a reminder. The condensate pump safety end has been snipped off, which is a potential flood risk if the pump fails. I put the pump on operating mode only, not safety mode. There is no water alarm in the space. I recommend installing one in case the condensate pump fails. The condensate pump line is brown and hard. No condensate treatment has been done. I recommend using vinegar to preserve the drain line or replacing the pump and line for safety. I checked the AC unit outside and the pressures are okay. The outdoor unit is not badly dirty and the capacitor is okay. The contactor should be replaced due to burn marks, but the contactor ohms are good and there is no voltage drop across it. The units are 14 years old and at the end of their life. I recommend speaking with a comfort advisor to assess the need for a system replace

NO Air Conditioning: Today, I arrived on site to address the customer's complaint of no AC. After inspecting the system, I found that the capacitor on the 5mfd terminal was bad. To resolve this issue, I replaced the faulty turbo capacitor with a new one. As a result, the system is now on and running smoothly. The pressures of the system are currently at a good level. However, during my inspection, I noticed that the fan motor is making a loud noise. Based on this observation, I recommend replacing the entire unit to ensure optimal performance and to eliminate any potential future issues.

Replacements: Recommend unit replacement due to the loud noise from the fan motor. Additional Service: None mentioned in the notes.
