PSC blower motor and capacitor are acceptable. Compressor and condenser fan motor are acceptable. Gas pressure, igniter and heat exchanger are all in working order. Refrigerant levels are in range. Outdoor unit was washed and waxed. A panel mount surge protector was installed on the main panel outside. An electrician has been scheduled to meet with the customer on the 19th of this month to discuss adding a grounding rod and possibly upgrading from 100amp service to 200amp service and getting everything up to code.

Upon arrival techs were shown to the air handler as well as the condenser. Techs started with the condenser we got our amp draws as well and the inrush amps the inrush amps was at 144. And the running amps on the compressor was at 10. The running amps on the fan motor was 1.5. The capacitor and contractor both gave good readings and looked good. Once done with the readings techs took the top of the condenser and washed the unit and waxed the unit. Then tech hooked up the gages and went inside tech started with the deltas the return was at 71 and the supply was at 61. The blower was in good condition. The evaporator coil was also clean everything was working properly. The blower motor was an ecm and we had a txv. Techs suggested a compressor saver to help with the high inrush amps.

Customer asked for estimate for duct cleaning. Technician found minor dust build up in the ducts. Evaporator coil and blower wheel are clean. Interior of the furnace is clean. Level 1 duct cleaning recommended. Customer states that there is an odor in the home she believes is coming from the air vents. Technician was not able to find the source of any smell however believes that there may have been some moisture build up in the ducts at one time. A UV 300 system is suggested to improve indoor air quality. The UV 300 uses a UV bulb to kill any biological growth inside of the system and releases a small amount of ozone to kill airborne pathogens. Ozone also has the added benefit of capturing any odors within the home.

Arrived to no cool. Customer states that the system has not run in a very long time. Discovered that the 50/7.5 dual run capacitor was weak on the Herm side and completely failed on the fan side. Replaced capacitor and performed function check. Customer did not have an air filter to change while technician was at the job and at needs to be changed as soon as possible. Evaporator coil is very dirty and is restricting air flow. Blower wheel is very dirty and needs to be cleaned as well. System was running and cooling the home upon departure.

Upon arrival system Was off saying no 24v power. Drain was clogged and tripping drain switch. Cleared and treated drain left system in cool mode

Customer states that the cool cap on her condenser was not coming all the way up. Technician found the condenser to be pretty dusty and that it was restricted. Cleaned outdoor coil really well and performed function check. Cool cap was able to come all the way up after the coil was cleaned. Upon further inspection the technician found the primary electrical control to be out of spec. Customer agreed to replace it with a premium electrical control. System running normally upon departure.

Electrical evaluation. Customer education on solar panel. Repaired bad terminations on AC breaker.

Cust stated there is a dryer brush in dryer vent but there is no brush in the pipe the dryer vent is full of water and lint. Vent is running through the slab, pipe is compromised somewhere allowing water to build and eventually going to back up into cust laundry room or ruing cust dryer. Has potential to cause a fire as well. This exposed pipe in the house is also potential access for insects to enter home. Dryer vents are not supposed to be run in PVC through the slab This pipe full of will cause foundation issues as well. I recommend immediate action, recommended installing new dryer vent and capping off old one

Goodman heat pump with air handler installed in 2016. All electrical connections are tight with no corrosion. X13 blower motor is acceptable. Blower wheel and evaporator coil are clean. Compressor and condenser fan motor are acceptable. Refrigerant levels are in range. 35/5 dual run capacitor is within tolerance. Outdoor condenser was washed and waxed to prevent sun damage. Highly suggest adding a compressor saver to the outdoor unit to help with the efficiency and reliability of the system and taking some strain away from the compressor upon start up.

Mark G and Cody B completed service call.

Tech Cody and Mark arrived to customer's home, he told us that the thermostat for upstairs would not adjust temperature or switch between heat and cool mode, this started two days ago. We located the thermostat with frozen screen, we looked up manufacturers literature to reset the thermostat, thermostat would not reset, diagnosed the thermostat had failed, replaced thermostat under warranty.
