Super tune up performed today on a Trane heat pump with air handler installed in 2019. All electrical connections are tight with no corrosion. Blower wheel has some slight build up starting to form. Biological growth is present inside of the air handler. Suggest adding UV to sterilize the air handler and keep it clean. Compressor and condenser fan motor are acceptable. Fan capacitor is weak and needs to be replaced. Primary electrical control is showing a voltage drop across the coil and needs to be replaced. Refrigerant levels are in range. Outdoor unit was washed and waxed. Suggest adding a compressor saver to help with the efficiency and reliability of the system. Customer declined any repairs at this time.

Tech Cody arrived to customer's home and met the homeowners. The homeowner showed my where the unit's emergency drain line terminates outside. The line was dripping and the ground beneath it was stained with rust. Indoors I found the emergency drain pan filled and the drain switch not seated all the way so it wasn't able to trip and shut off the unit. The primary drain line was clogged. The system had a temperature split of 19 degrees, the coil was clean, the blower was clean, the heat strips functioned properly and the static pressures were good. Outside I washed the coil and waxed it, the compressor and fan motor were operating within manufacturer range, the refrigerant levels were within tolerable levels after the washing and the auxiliary and primary motor starters were in good condition. I shared my findings with the homeowner and they wanted me to clear the clog. I cleared the clog out of the primary drain, installed a antimicrobial pan treatment bar into the drain pan and vacuum

Upon arrival techs Cody & Hunter where shown to the thermostats, units and the condenser. Tech hunter went out side and hooked up the guages once the guages where hooked up tech noticed that the unit was low on r-22. Tech Cody found the leak in the coil. When we went to look at the wiring tech hunter found three rats in the wiring. We hooked the gauges up to the second unit the supper heat was at 2 due to the strain on the unit trying to keep up with the heat. Comfort Advisor coming out nest Saturday. The homeowner would like for the office to call and set a time for a electrician to come out.
