During the recent cooling tune-up, I thoroughly inspected all electrical components, finding them to be in good working order with appropriate amp draws. The Freon levels were slightly low, attributed to a dirty and clogged evaporator coil. Additionally, the blower wheel was found to be clogged with heavy debris. I recommend cleaning both the evaporator coil and blower wheel to restore efficiency. The condenser was also cleaned, and the filter was replaced. The temperature split is now optimal. I am preparing estimates for the homeowner, including one for cleaning the coil and blower motor and another for replacing the evaporator coil before the parts warranty expires on 8/5/26. I look forward to discussing these options further.

During the inspection, I examined the cooling system, which was operating at 29 SEER, indicating it was underperforming. The system was found to be low on refrigerant, which was affecting its efficiency. Additionally, the compressor was experiencing hard starts, suggesting the need for a soft start installation. This would help in reducing wear and improving the overall performance of the system.

Upon arrival, I assessed the condenser and identified a weak dual run capacitor. The customer had already reset the breakers, and the unit was operational. I proceeded to replace the capacitor, which was operating below the recommended 6% efficiency. I informed the customer that if the issue recurs, they should refrain from resetting the unit and instead call for a technician to address the problem while it is actively failing. This proactive approach ensures we can diagnose and resolve the issue effectively, with parts covered under the purchase and labor agreement.

During the plumbing tune-up, we assessed the 1985 water heater, which is showing signs of age and should be replaced soon to avoid potential issues. All other plumbing fixtures were inspected and found to be in good working order. Given the water heater's condition, we opted not to perform a flush. Additionally, we examined the new heat and air system installed in March. The outdoor condenser was found to be not level, which could lead to efficiency issues and potential problems in the future. We provided the customer with this information and discussed the importance of addressing the condenser's alignment.

On 6/12/26, I performed a detailed inspection and diagnostic procedure on a toilet that was leaking. The floor was visibly damaged due to prolonged water leakage. I pulled and reset the toilet to run a camera and diagnose the pipe. The customer reported a dripping issue through the ceiling, which I traced to the bathroom above. The toilet tank was improperly installed, causing water to accumulate in a bowl placed next to the toilet. The customer confirmed the toilet was original to the home. I informed the customer about the floor damage and the potential need for additional repairs if the pipe is broken. I paused the job and will return once the restoration is complete.

I arrived with the new compressor to carry out the replacement work. The old compressor was carefully removed and replaced with the new one. I checked for any leaks and found none. A vacuum was pulled to remove any air and moisture from the system. The refrigerant charge was set according to specifications. After testing the system, I confirmed that it was cooling effectively and running smoothly. The job is now complete.

Upon revisiting the site, we identified a significant issue with the condenser, which was emitting an unusually loud noise. A thorough inspection revealed that the compressor was the root cause. We promptly ordered a replacement compressor and communicated the expected timeline for its arrival. We will return once the new part is available to complete the repair.

Upon arrival, I identified that the AC was not cooling due to the compressor being locked out from a high load reduction area (LRA). After discussing the issue with the homeowner, we decided to install a soft start kit on the outdoor system to prevent future lockouts. I meticulously installed the kit and conducted thorough testing to ensure the unit was operating correctly. Additionally, I measured the delta T, checked refrigerant levels, replaced the air filter, and inspected the drain. The system is now cooling effectively. Thank you for the opportunity to assist.

I performed a comprehensive Super Tune-Up on an upflow heat pump system. Starting with the indoor unit, I flushed about 2 gallons of water through the condensate drain line to ensure proper drainage.
