Trusted Plumbers in Granbury, Done Right

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.

We undertook a comprehensive redesign of a 42,000 square foot duct system, focusing on enhancing efficiency and performance. Our team meticulously analyzed the existing setup, identifying areas for improvement. We implemented advanced materials and cutting-edge design principles to optimize airflow and reduce energy consumption. The project involved precise measurements, strategic placement of ducts, and integration of modern insulation techniques. Our goal was to ensure a seamless, high-performing system that meets the highest standards of comfort and sustainability.

Upon inspection, the unit was found to be running continuously, struggling to maintain the desired home temperature. Despite the thermostat being set at 74 degrees, the actual temperature was 77 degrees. Further investigation revealed that the refrigerant levels were abnormal due to dirty coils. Both the evaporator and condenser coils were significantly soiled, hindering proper airflow. Unfortunately, the customer was currently without water, preventing the coils from being cleaned. The customer has been advised to contact us once water service is restored.

Upon arrival, I assessed the air conditioning system and found it was not cooling effectively. After a thorough inspection, I identified that the 35/5 microfarad capacitor was the root cause of the issue. I replaced the faulty capacitor with a new one, ensuring it was properly installed and securely connected. Following the replacement, I conducted a comprehensive function check to confirm the system was operating correctly. The air conditioning system was successfully restored, and it began to cool the home efficiently. I took the time to explain the issue and the solution to the customer, who was pleased with the resolution. Additionally, I discussed the benefits of the multi system Comfort Care Club, and the customer decided to sign up for the service.

On June 1, I performed a comprehensive tune-up on both the downstairs and upstairs systems. During the inspection, the customer reported issues with cold air leaking from the upstairs air handler and closet. Upon examination, I identified a loose section of the duct board inside the Blenheim, which was causing the air leakage. Unfortunately, I couldn't resolve the issue during this visit. I discussed the situation with the customer and scheduled a follow-up visit for July 9 to address the plenum problem. The job was paused until the next scheduled visit.

Upon inspection, it was determined that water had seeped through the ceiling. The drains were checked and found to be clear. However, the insulation within the air handler was heavily saturated with water. It is believed that the plastic drain pan has a crack, preventing it from holding water properly. Additionally, the emergency drain pan exhibited significant corrosion. Refrigerant levels were confirmed to be within the acceptable range. An estimate for the necessary repairs was provided to the customer, who is also contacting her home warranty company. A follow-up meeting with the comfort advisor is scheduled for Thursday at approximately 11 a.m.
