Upon arrival, I conducted a thorough inspection and identified an unusual noise from the compressor. Further examination revealed signs of refrigerant restriction. After replacing the air filter and cleaning the outdoor unit, the system still seemed low on refrigerant. The customer opted for a diagnostic to pinpoint the issue. The diagnostic confirmed a failed thermal expansion valve (TXV) causing the restriction, supported by ice buildup on the TXV. I also checked the liquid line temperature differences to rule out line set issues. The customer approved the TXV replacement. Additionally, I found a clogged primary drain line but recommended professional cleaning, which the customer declined. The ductwork was also very dirty, but professional cleaning was not pursued at this time. The system still had a refrigerant restriction at departure, and I explained that replacing the TXV should resolve the issue, though additional problems might still exist.

I arrived at the site and assessed the piping system. After identifying the damaged section, I carefully cut it out. I then installed a new section of piping, ensuring it was properly aligned and securely connected. I applied the appropriate adhesive to the joints and advised the customer to allow sufficient time for the glue to set before reactivating the water supply. This ensured a reliable and long-lasting repair.

Upon arrival, I assessed the situation and identified that the necessary fittings were not available. After confirming the required specifications, I returned the following day with the appropriate fittings. I then proceeded to complete the repair, ensuring all components were correctly installed and functioning as intended.

I conducted a comprehensive heating tune-up on a gas package unit. I started by cleaning the outdoor unit and ensuring a proper temperature split between the supply and return plenums. The air filter was not replaced due to unavailability, but the customer plans to order one for a future visit. I inspected system components and found the compressor drawing excessive amperage, recommending a compressor saver or soft start, which the customer declined. Dirt buildup was noted, and I suggested a blower cleaning, though the customer opted out for now. I also provided estimates for the recommended services. I flushed the condensate drain line and confirmed proper drainage. The system was left operating and heating as intended.

Additionally, we installed a ceiling fan in the shop and two outdoor lights, ensuring all connections and installations were performed to the highest standards.

I was tasked with diagnosing an issue with a Cummins generator installed on a 40ft horse trailer equipped with living quarters. The generator showed 12.5 volts at the starter solenoid but dropped to 6.5 volts during startup. Despite all batteries being at a healthy 13.5 volts, I suspected a voltage drop in the wiring. After thorough checks, I concluded that a detailed inspection by a trailer mechanic was necessary to locate and rectify the voltage drop, ensuring the generator operates efficiently.

I arrived to address a hot tub issue involving a relay and fused connections. Upon inspection, the problem was identified as a tripping breaker. After further investigation, it was determined that the pump was the root cause. I discussed pump replacement options with the customer, but they preferred to attempt the repair themselves. I assured them to contact us for any questions or assistance in the future.

I visited the customer's home to perform an electrical inspection and tune-up. Initially, there was a misunderstanding as the customer thought I was there for an AC service. I clarified that I was an electrician and explained the electrical inspection process, which included checking the electrical system for any potential issues and ensuring everything was functioning safely and efficiently. During the inspection, I identified a faulty switch and replaced it with a new one to resolve the customer's concerns. Additionally, I discussed surge protection with the customer, who expressed interest in this service, although it will need to be scheduled for a later date.

I performed a comprehensive super tune-up on the straight electric system. Starting with the outdoor unit, I cleaned the condenser coil, ensuring proper airflow. I checked refrigerant pressures and found them within the manufacturer’s range. The air filters were clean, so I left them in place. I identified excessive amperage draw and recommended a soft start, which the customer declined. The capacitor was out of tolerance, so I replaced it under warranty. Moving indoors, I recorded a 13°F temperature split and explained potential air leakage issues. The evaporator coil and blower wheel were dirty, so I advised on cleaning methods and recommended professional service. The customer declined further services, but the system was operational.

During the heating tuneup, I thoroughly inspected the heating elements and confirmed they were operating within normal limits. While the unit functioned well, I noticed it starts up quite loudly. The homeowners have a compressor saver kit installed, but I recommended a soft start installation to reduce the startup noise and provide brown surge protection. Although they appreciated the information, they chose to keep the current setup. Thank you for choosing our services. We hope you have a great day!
