I will review the load calculations for the home to address this issue. The outdoor unit was thoroughly cleaned, including washing and waxing. The system is now running efficiently, effectively cooling the entire residence.

I successfully completed a comprehensive ductwork installation project. This involved installing 25 feet of 12-inch diameter ductwork to ensure efficient airflow and optimal ventilation. Additionally, I installed 12 feet of 7-inch diameter ductwork to cater to specific needs. The project also included the installation of an in-floor supply register, which was carefully positioned to provide balanced air distribution throughout the area. The ducts were meticulously measured, cut, and connected, ensuring a seamless and professional finish. The in-floor supply register was installed with precision, enhancing the overall comfort and efficiency of the system.

Upon arrival, the customer identified specific areas that were not cooling effectively. During the evaluation, I discovered that the ductwork was suspended in the attic, which significantly reduces efficiency due to exposure to hot air. Optimal ductwork performance is achieved when it is run within or beneath the attic insulation. Additionally, one bedroom had the longest duct run, with the ductwork splitting three times before reaching the bedroom, leading to inefficient airflow. I explained to the customer the ideal configuration for ductwork and recommended a visit from a Comfort Advisor to discuss potential upgrades. The customer agreed, and I arranged for the Comfort Advisor to visit and set up the necessary improvements.
