The Colony TX

For this super tune-up I inspected the upstairs and downstairs furnace and condensers. for the most part the equipment was in good working order, however the upstairs fan motor was overamping and the compressor was pulling over the LRA. I discussed with the homeowner what I found and my recommendations however at this time she elected to just add a hard start kit for the upstairs compressor for now. I told her that the longer the fan motor is overamping the more likely it is to fail.

For the evaluation I showed up to the customer's home and she stated the indoor unit was running but the outdoor was not and the system was not cooling. Neither the compressor nor the fan was running when I went outside, I checked voltage and the capacitor and they both were good. I was able to get the compressor running after a number of tries shutting off the high voltage and resetting it. I gauged up and had a 35⁰ SH with a piston metering device but a target SH of 28⁰. This is indicative that the system is undercharged and may be hitting low pressure cutoff, additionally the compressor is failing since it won't come on all the time when there is a call for cooling. Inform the customer of what I found and she would like to talk to a comfort advisor about replacement. Appointment is set for today between 4:00 and 6:00 30 September.

Came out for an evaluation unit is not cooling due to low on refrigerator. Compressor is over amping on. Start up and outdoor coils are severely restricted. Presented the homeowner with his options for repair and replacement. Says he has a home warranty company. He wants to check with but also opted to sit down with a comfort advisor and figure out his options.

Arrived for CTU The customer didn’t answer the door Called dispatch and they said the customer won’t be home until after 2 Will need to schedule for a different day Arrived for CTU All components working and in tolerance The system is a 2 delta and Superheat is at 33 when it’s suppose to be at 25. Recommend Insualtion, re level unit, duct cleaning level 2, leak search, compressor saver, outdoor fan motor, and membership When I went to add Freon the outdoor motor went out Couldn’t add Freon due to fan not working Customer wants to think about recs and look around. System not running when I left

On arrival downstairs unit running and cooling producing a 20 degree delta. Upstairs unit producing a 4 degree delta. Found the upstairs unit with a 9 degree subcool and a 40+ degree superheat indicating a restricted txv. Both furnaces are bypassing dust by the filter for which I recommended April aire filter upgrades and the upstairs system had biological growth in the supply plenum.

On arrival system was running and cooling. Found good air flow from supply ducts on master bedroom system, recommended a water safety and an advanced leak search later in the summer/fall.

On arrival system was running and cooling producing an 18 degree delta. Outdoor units dual run capicator was out of tolerance. Recommended replacing this and adding a compressor saver kit to increase the life of the capicator and compressor. Raining during visit.

Duct cleaning completed

On this job I inspected the cooling side of the system. The freon levels are on point. I changed the filter and washed the condensor. The system could benefit from duct cleaning.

Upon arrival system was off Turned system back on and had good refrigerant levels,cap was within tolerance and coils were clean Delta T was a 12 Spoke to customer and let him know system is cooling but to keep an eye on it and give us a call back if he sees anything else

Upon inspection discovered that cap was below tolerance and was not allowing the compressor to turn on Replaced cap and was supplying 56 degrees out of the vents

For the super tune-up I inspected the furnace and condenser. For the most part everything was measuring with a manufacturer specs and running well, however the blower capacitor was out of tolerance by more than 5%, so I recommend replacing that before it fails. Additionally one of the blower Wheels was pretty dirty, making the blower work harder and putting more stress on it. I recommend replacing that blower capacitor, cleaning the blower wheel, a compressor saver for the condenser, as well as a UV system to kill biological growth and any other pathogens.

Tested all components all measured within ratings and specs. Refrigerant level is normal. Washed and cleaned condenser. Changed filter. Recommend duct cleaning lvl1

On arrival systems were running and cooling producing 18+ degree deltas. Indoor units had clean coils and drain lines but dirty blowers. Supply plenum for upstairs system had large spots of biological growth. Outdoor units passed all electrical testing but were overamping on start up. I recommended compressor saver kits to address this and to reduce wear and tear on the compressor. I recommended an April aire upgrade kit to prevent further dust bypass and I recommended iaq 200 uv systems to prevent further biological growth and improve air quality.

Arrived for STU Recommend refurbishing, IAQ 3000, blower clean and coil clean. Customer would like to have a comfort advisor out on May 2/2024 @12-3

Tested all components all measured within ratings and specs. Refrigerant level is normal. Washed and cleaned condenser. Customer changes filter himself on the 1st every month.

Arrived for Eval of upstairs system. Asked home owners if they wanted their down stairs to be looked at and they said yes. All components were working and in tolerance Recommended IAQ 200, 1000, Blower clean, Coil clean, panstrip for both units. Surge protection for whole house and membership. Relayed Information to customer and told them that their upstairs system was working. Customer wanted to think about recommendations.

Tech arrived at a tune-up/ IAQ estimate. Upon inspection, the capacitor was out of tolerance. The condenser coils were hosed off to assist with air flow across the coils. The refrigerant was within range. The filter was dirty. The blower area was dirty and there was growth present in the system. There was ductwork that was not sealed properly in the attic. Tape was applied to these areas. The Delta was within range. The customer was informed of recommendations today. He is interested in the IAQ 1000 Filter, 200 UVC System / Air Cleaner and Level 2 Duct Cleaning. He will speak with his wife and will call us back. He would like a follow up next week if we haven't heard from him by then. The system was functioning upon departure.

Tech arrived at a complimentary tuneup. Upon inspection, the capacitor was out of tolerance. The condenser coils were hosed off to assist with air flow across the coils. The refrigerant appeared to be overcharged and the TXV was not functioning. The blower area was dirty. The customer was provided with duct cleaning estimates upon request. The customer was informed of recommendations today. He will speak with his wife and will call back in. The tech will follow up at a later date. The system was functioning upon departure.

04/06/24 Tyler - waterheater is new and was expecting an AC check up.

I was told that felt very hard and was causing issues replacement should fix that I also was told of an issue where if he starts up his vacuum a few of the lights dim in the house that one would require a minor diagnostic and I have made an estimate and sent it to the email on phone
