New Furnace Installed Fast in Granbury

During the inspection, I identified multiple areas with insufficient insulation, primarily due to poorly insulated round metal ductwork. To address this, I applied additional insulation on top of and around the ductwork, ensuring it covers the ductwork and near the eaves in the attic. Additionally, the system lacked sufficient return air, so I installed a filter return grille and added a 14 to 16-inch duct to the return plenum. The customer approved the changes and paid for the work. I coordinated with the installation manager, Joe, and scheduled the follow-up work for Thursday, July 23rd.

Upon arrival, the blower was operational, but the outdoor unit was inactive. No error codes were visible on the outdoor unit, and there was no indication of a cooling demand from the control board. I meticulously inspected and tightened all low voltage connections. After restarting the system, it successfully initiated and operated. I monitored the system for an hour, confirming that it was effectively cooling the space.

The customer reported inadequate cooling performance, with minimal airflow during peak heat. Refrigerant levels were normal, but the filter was heavily soiled, likely restricting airflow and causing coil freezing. No replacement filter was available, so the system was left without one temporarily. The evaporator coil, blower wheel, and outdoor unit were all heavily soiled and cleaned. A comprehensive system rejuvenation, including duct cleaning, is recommended for optimal performance.

I conducted a follow-up visit to ensure the electric anode rod was functioning correctly and that any odors in the water had been resolved. Upon inspection, I verified the anode rod's operational status and performed a series of water quality tests to confirm the absence of any lingering odors. Mr. Mitchell reported that the water quality met his expectations, with no detectable issues. I provided additional guidance on maintaining the system to prevent future problems. This visit was conducted at no charge, reflecting our commitment to customer satisfaction and service quality.

I met with the customers to assess their current duct system and discussed potential issues and inefficiencies. I presented various replacement options, including energy-efficient materials and modern designs, tailored to their specific needs. I explained the benefits of each option, such as improved air quality and energy savings. After evaluating their preferences and budget, I recommended the most suitable solution and provided a detailed plan for the replacement process.

Today, I completed a comprehensive tune-up on a Comfortmaker heat pump system installed in 2017. I ensured all electrical connections were secure and free from corrosion. The attic insulation was found to be slightly low, and I recommended adding more to improve home efficiency. Inside the air handler, I discovered biological growth, necessitating a system rejuvenation and duct cleaning, along with the installation of a germicidal light to prevent future growth. Refrigerant levels were within the acceptable range, and both the compressor and condenser fan motor were functioning properly. The outdoor unit was cleaned and treated with a protective wax. The system was operational and effectively cooling the home upon my departure.

Upon arrival, I assessed the issue where the unit had frozen multiple times over the past few days. The customer had already changed the filter and cleaned the coil. I identified that the primary electrical control on the outdoor unit had fused, causing the unit to remain on after the thermostat had shut down the blower. I replaced the faulty electrical control and conducted a function check to ensure proper operation. The system is now running and cooling effectively.

I performed a comprehensive tune-up on the air handler and heat pump. I meticulously checked all electrical connections, ensuring they were secure and free from any signs of burning.

The blower motor operated satisfactorily, and the evaporator coil was in good condition. The Bull Run cap was within the acceptable range, and the primary electrical unit was functioning correctly. The defrost board was also found to be acceptable. The refrigerant level was within the specified range. The condenser coils had accumulated heavy vine and weed growth, which I cleared as much as possible. I highly recommend the customer use a weed eater or mower around the unit to maintain efficiency. Additionally, I recommended the installation of a micro airsoft start kit and a UV system.

On 7/15/26, I addressed a whole house stoppage. The initial inspection revealed an old thin-wall ABS pipe with multiple leaks under the mobile home. To clear the blockage, I used a cable line to navigate through the visible section of the pipe. After successfully clearing the line in both directions, I removed roots that had infiltrated the outgoing sewer and washed away a soft paper stoppage from beneath the home. Although the stoppage was cleared, the condition of the fittings and leaks under the house remains a concern. There is no warranty on the stoppage or the sewer lines. I will return on 7/23/26 for further diagnosis and potential repairs, and assistance will be needed during this appointment.

I conducted a comprehensive system tune-up, ensuring all electrical connections were secure and functioning correctly. Although the customer did not have a filter on hand, the drains were clear and draining effectively. The evaporator coil, blower motor, and wheel were all in acceptable condition. The UV system was operational, and the capacitor was within the specified range. The primary electrical unit and refrigerant levels were also within acceptable parameters. The compressor fan motor and condenser coils were in good working order. The customer was not present, but their daughter and son-in-law were. This will be the final maintenance for the customer as they are relocating. The system is fully functional and operating correctly. No recommendations are necessary at this time.

I addressed the broken overflow tube on the guest bath toilet, ensuring it was fully functional. The toilet tank was securely attached to the wall with a hard substance, which I informed the customer about to avoid any liability. I safely removed the tank, replaced the flush and fill valve, and installed a new flapper. Additionally, I successfully unjammed the disposal, though I advised it lacks warranty and recommended replacement.

On 7/13/26, I was dispatched to address an issue with solar panels that were not connecting to the end phase and producing power. Upon arrival, I began by examining the system and discovered that an internet connectivity problem was preventing the panels from functioning. This issue was impeding any attempts to diagnose or repair the system. I informed the customer that until the internet issue was resolved, we could not determine if any components were faulty. The customer agreed to have an internet specialist inspect the situation. Once the internet is operational, we will return to reconnect the solar panels and ensure they are producing power. The job is currently on hold pending the customer's call.

I was called to address an electrical issue where plugs and lights were non-functional. After conducting a thorough diagnostic, I discovered that a specific plug was malfunctioning, providing power only to the top half. By carefully examining and testing, I identified the faulty plug and resolved the issue. The customer is now satisfied with the restored functionality.

Upon arrival, I identified that half of the garage and exterior plugs were non-functional. I explained to the customer that a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) controls these outlets, a safety requirement in every home. I located the GFCI and informed the customer about its importance. Additionally, I noticed multiple broken covers on the exterior plugs, which could cause the GFCI to trip. I explained this possibility and mentioned that the GFCI might also be faulty. I offered to replace the GFCI and repair the covers, but the customer opted to handle the repairs himself. I provided detailed pricing for potential future services.

I arrived promptly and assessed the situation. After a thorough evaluation, I provided a detailed explanation of the required repairs and maintenance. I ensured the customer understood each step of the process and answered all their questions. I coordinated with the customer to schedule the work for a convenient time, pending confirmation from his wife upon her return from her appointment. I left the premises clean and tidy, ensuring all tools and materials were properly stored.

Today, I performed a service on a 4-year-old Goodman straight cool condenser paired with an Evcon downflow air handler. The filters were severely dirty and deteriorating, preventing airflow, so the system is currently running without them. The evaporator coil and blower wheel were also dirty, necessitating a system rejuvenation. The compressor and condenser fan motor were functioning well, but refrigerant levels were slightly low, likely due to the airflow issue. The outdoor unit was cleaned and waxed, and the system is now cooling effectively.

Upon inspection, the primary drain pan appeared to have a crack, allowing water to seep through the ceiling. The insulation inside the air handler was heavily saturated. After blocking the primary drain and pouring water into the pan, the water level dropped slowly, indicating a leak. The emergency drain pan was also severely corroded. Refrigerant levels were normal. An estimate for repairs was provided, and a follow-up meeting is scheduled with the customer.

Recently, I successfully completed the installation of a Level 2 42k heat pump. This involved assessing the existing HVAC system, selecting the appropriate components, and ensuring compatibility. The installation process included mounting the outdoor unit, connecting refrigerant lines, and integrating the indoor unit with the existing ductwork. I also calibrated the thermostat and performed a thorough system test to confirm optimal performance. The client was satisfied with the efficiency and quiet operation of the new heat pump.

Upon arrival, the customer reported that the system struggled to maintain performance during peak daytime temperatures. During the evaluation, I discovered that the refrigerant levels were significantly low. Additionally, the evaporator coil was heavily rusted. I conducted a thorough leak search on the evaporator coil and identified refrigerant leaks. I discussed the findings and recommendations with the customer, who opted for a visit from a comfort advisor. I scheduled the visit for today and confirmed the appointment with the office.

I arrived to address a frequent tripping issue with a GFCI breaker on a fridge circuit. The customer had installed a GFCI breaker for the fridge and another one on the same circuit, which had been functioning well for four years. Recently, the breaker started tripping every week. After replacing the breaker, I explained that if the issue persisted, it was likely a problem with the fridge. I assured the customer that if the first technician found no issue, I would return for free to further investigate.

Upon arrival, the customer reported the system was not cooling effectively. The thermostat was set at 73, but the temperature reached 79. A hearing evaluation revealed a hissing noise at the compressor. Using gauges, I found the suction side at 185 PSI and the liquid side at 335, resulting in a 1.8 compression ratio. This caused refrigerant bypass, elevating suction line pressure. I discussed the system's age, recommended a replacement compressor and refrigerant, and arranged for a Comfort Advisor to compare repair and replacement options.

I ran a camera to locate the stoppage in the line. The initial estimate did not include removing the blockage. After running a 25-foot cable, I discovered a rock obstructing the pipe. I carefully broke the rock loose, ensuring the drain line was clear. This resolved the clog, and the line is now functioning properly. If a larger machine had been needed, the estimate would have increased.

I began by addressing the issue with the shower drain, carefully reconnecting it underneath the house. Next, I pulled the toilet to inspect and reset it properly. After ensuring the toilet was securely in place, I used a camera to thoroughly inspect the main line through the pulled toilet. This allowed me to identify and resolve any potential blockages or issues. The process was completed efficiently, ensuring all plumbing systems were functioning correctly.

We performed a comprehensive inspection and maintenance service on a 2020 Carrier Airhandler and Heatpump system. Starting with the airhandler, we meticulously checked and tightened all electrical connections to ensure optimal performance. The customer had recently changed the filters, which were found to be in good condition. The drain was clear and functioning properly, although it lacks a drain safety feature. The blower motor and wheel, as well as the evaporator coil, were both acceptable. Additionally, the UV system was confirmed to be functional. For the 2020 Carrier Heatpump, we again checked and tightened all electrical connections. The dual run capacitor was within the manufacturer's specified range, and the primary electrical unit was acceptable. The defrost board and refrigerant levels were also within acceptable parameters, and the compressor saver was functional. The fan blades and motor, along with the condenser coils, were found to be in good condition. We cleared debris

Today, I conducted a comprehensive cooling tune-up on a Carrier air handler paired with a straight cool condenser installed in 2020. Despite my efforts, accurate refrigerant readings were hindered by a heavily soiled evaporator coil and a dirty blower wheel. To address this, I scheduled a Level 2 duct cleaning for tomorrow morning, which will include thorough cleaning of the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and ducts. The unit, an upflow model in a 2020 manufactured home, showed tight electrical connections without corrosion. Additionally, the outdoor unit was cleaned and treated with a protective wax. The duct cleaning crew is advised to bring a UV bulb for replacement upon arrival.
