Benbrook, TX

2011 3.5t goodman hp closet upflow. System performance evaluation - Upon inspection of the evaporator coil, at the top of the intake side, on both sides are discoloration which at a glance seems like oil and refrigerant staining. Performed a courtesy leak detection and as soon as I put my detector to the surface the alarm went off. To confirm, I put my refrigerant guages on and checked for proper superheat and subcool; both were outside of the appropriate tolerance range. Leak confirmed. Furthermore, the 45/5 dual run capacitor, when tested underload was over 20% deficient per manufacturers tolerance of 5% - a failing part and extreme stress on systemcomponents. Blower wheel is dirty and indoor cabin is filled with biological growth. DeltaT of 14°. I discussed and shared all information to both homeowners. The Son called and I explained to him as well. Estimates made for system restoration and emailed. CA appointment set for 10/16/24 @10am confirmed. Son will attempt to be avai

For this job I installed a new air handler disconnect. Wired it accordingly and left with the system running and cooling.

Upon arrival tech was shown to the condenser and airhandler tech started at the airhandler. Once tech got all his readings tech went out side where tech found the duel run capacitor was not in range underload test as well as tech found burn marks on the contacter tech washed and waxed the condenser once tech was finished with the condenser tech got his inrush amps and they were at 87.

On arrival system running and cooling with no issues producing a 21 degree delta. Indoor unit clean, outdoor unit passed all electrical testing. I recommended upgrading uv systems to the iaq 200 due to its increase efficiency and effacy. Once installed system back on and cooling.

Upon arrival tech was shown to the condenser and air handler techs started with the condenser unit once tech got done making sure everything was okay with the condenser tech went to the air handler where tech found that the y1 wire was lose and causing the off and on the unit was doing per customer. Tech fixed y1

Upon arrival, tech was shown to the air handler and condenser. Tech started at the condenser with washing and waxing. Once tech was done washing the condenser tech put the condenser back together. After tech got his readings from the condenser, tech went to attic and saw that the drain was having build up tech suggested cleaning the drain tech also saw a UV bolt that was out and was not efficient enough anymore. Homeowners said he would like to look to find 1st and then call us back If he cannot find one. Everything other than the uv bulb and drain the unit looked up to standards

Install 48k heat pump outdoor with disconnect and whip

Upon arrival tech started with the condenser tech took apart the condenser and cleand and waxed it. the inrush amps were at 121 tech got the restoration his readings and headed to the upflow airhandler. Tech took it apart where tech saw that the uv bulb was not working properly it needs to be changed out tech got his deltas as well as everything else tech had suggested a uv bulb replacement and a compressor saver to help with the inrush amps

Upon arrival tech was shown to the air handler and thermostats tech started at the thermostats once tech got all his reading tech moved to the condenser tech had gotten the inrush amps of 127 tech also found a hole in thr condenser coil. Tech talked to home owner about the leak and showed her the leak.

2014 condenser inrush amps are exceeding manufacturers LRA data WITH a compressor saver. Condenser fan motor bearings are compromised, back and forth play on motor shaft. Homeowner claims the refrigerant lines "clank" and are very disruptive. I discussed options of running the refrigerant lines outside of wall to eliminate the issue. Disconnect pull out has arking marks. High voltage coming into primary electrical control contractor wires are compromised. Homeowner agrees it's best not to put any more money into the 2013 condenser unit and that he's "got his monies worth". Upon purchase of a new condenser unit, please pull off compressor saver from old and install in new. CA appointment set for 10/4/24 10am confirmed.

Everything at factory specs clean condenser eating looked good and cooling at a Delta was within parameters

Stu completed, EVAP coil clean, uv light operating properly Blower motor is clean and operating efficiently Refrigerant levels acceptable, electrical connections and components acceptable System is on and operating efficiently

Install Goodman 24k electric hz upstairs and 48k hz heat pump downstairs use current filtration systems, includes code kits, relocate upstairs thermostat to bedroom

Have to figure a good day to do a panel replacement I will call next week on Wednesday to give her an update on some questions she had regarding the other work getting done and the dates for panel replacement

Tech Cody arrived to customer's home and met the homeowner. Furnace is a 14yo Goodman, Outdoor unit data tag was unreadable. INDOORS: Replaced filter, temperature split of20 degrees, blower is extremely dirty I recommended cleaning it, blower capacitor was out of tolerance I recommended replacement. Evaporator coil was clean and the supply plenum was clean. OUTDOORS: data tag was unreadable so I'm not sure if compressor and fan motor were operating within manufacturer range. Compressor on start up pulls 89.6 amps, compressor while running pulls 13amps and the fan motor while running pulls .8 amps. Both motor run capacitors were within tolerance and the primary electrical control was in good condition. System refrigerant charge was low according to my guages, I was unable to pin point the leak point. I shared my findings with the homeowner and recommended repairs needed, he asked me to email him the estimates. System was cooling when I left.

Arrived for service Eval Dual run cap failed Replaced. Added membership Morris and refrigerant fine UV recommended for the growth in the supply plenum

9/20/24 Arrived to Homeowner, some discrepancy about the time frame. I offered to reschedule to allow me to perform the best service and homeowner was very happy with that option due to his schedule and there being two systems. Reschedule for Thursday 9-26-24 1st call

On arrival customer stated condenser wasalong loud rattling noise this morning but has since quit. I found no issues electrically on the outdoor unit. Fan motor is the most likely culprit. If the issue reoccurs he will have us out to do replace the motor. Also discussed the benefits of a soft start kit versus a hard start kit.

Quoted a level 1 24k straight cool horizontal and a level 3 48k heat pump horizontal for $21,660. Customer wants to discuss with wife

Arrive for service Eval Drain line clogged. Soaked the finger and froze the coil Defrosted coil Drain line broke whole clearing it. Rebuilt entire primary drain Replaced both UV bulbs and corrected placement of the UVV bulb System cooling at exit with good refrigerant levels and no leaks on drain line

Arrived for service Eval Filter has been in the unit for several years as Homeowner was unaware it was there Eval Coil leaking refrigerant Comfort Advisor tomorrow 9 am
