Reviewing past electric bills, I noted a typical rise in consumption from April to July due to increased system usage during warmer months. The thermostat was set to and maintained at 73 degrees, with the indoor temperature matching this setting. I explained to the customer that while the system is functioning correctly, it will naturally run more frequently as temperatures rise. I also discussed the benefits of adding insulation, though the customer declined due to upcoming plans to sell the house.

A vulnerable customer reported an issue with their condensate drain, which connects to the main house drain and leads into a closet. I began by pouring a gallon of water into the closet drain, observing that it filled up halfway before draining. I then poured an additional gallon and a half of water into the condensate drain line, which drained smoothly into a bucket. This confirmed that the air conditioning condensate drain was clear. However, the drain in the floor was clogged. I discussed the situation with the customer and arranged for a plumber to clear the blockage. Additionally, I talked about a water heater installed in 2008. I contacted the plumber and scheduled a visit for the same day, which was confirmed by the office.

Upon arrival, the system was non-operational. A friend had been working on it, but it failed to turn on. I identified a loss of low voltage across a relay. I recommended a complete electrical rewire inside the air handler to diagnose the issue and ensure compliance with safety codes. Additionally, I noted that the pass-through breaker had been bypassed and advised on the necessity of installing a breaker for safety. The customer reported that the system previously ran continuously but couldn't maintain the desired temperature. I informed the customer of potential costly repairs post-wiring and scheduled a Comfort Advisor meeting for later that evening.
