Fan Guards

Completed with ac 1 on a 2015 Lennox gas horizontal in attic 3.5 ton, unit cooling at this time of check up, customer estated that home has been feeling like humid and hot. Found a little bit of water falling from the corner of coil and inside plenum is wet, possible restriction on coil making freeze up and causing water to melt outside coil. Compresor start up amps are very high 170-210 out of 113 Giving the option to do all preventative repairs, minimum repairs or complete unit upgrade. Calles Lennox to check warranty, Lennox told me unit only has 5 year warranty. Customer wants to wait on doing anything at this time.

Performed two system maintenance. 2004 trane single stage furnace. Talked to Mrs. Murphy about concern of busted coil and how it could be a potential problem cooling and freezing up this year or the years to follow and that I recommend getting estimates for replacement to get a feel for what prices are on 2024. The 2020 American standard and the 2004 trane are heating at this time. Cleaned flame sensors. No failures at this time.

Preformed the fall maintenance. Found the unit to be older and nit in the greatest condition. Recommend replacement to prevent future issues and lower electricity bills. See attachment for pricing, if there are any questions feel free to reach out to the technician at 469-931-5277. (Tech Collin/ call or text). No trace of gas leaks or carbon monoxide. The inducer motor is most likely to fail first but the amps on the blower are higher than normal. The hvac systems normally last 10-15 years and the system is currently 22 years old.

Preformed the heating maintenance, the ignitor has some hot spots and the blower wheel is slightly dirty. Other than that all checks are well within manufactory specifications.

Zac found leak in mini split head lower left corner. charged it. office is looking into warranty.

On arrival left pricing to insulate the drain lines and add a ptrap, technically the system is grandfathered in due to the unit being 10 years old. All other checks are good at this time. Left pricing customer will reach out if they are intrepid in moving forward.

Found capacitor bad replaced system is working properly at this time

Master bedroom unit leaking refrigerant from indoor evaporator coil. Air handler from 2016 still under manufacture warranty. Gave homeowner options on how to proceed. Leaving as is for now. Would recommend not running that unit on low refrigerant to preserve the compressor. Will sleep on it and possibly call me back over the weekend with decision.

Upon further inspection. Condenser coil is not leaking. The refrigerant leak is at the 1/2” line exiting the compressor. Refer to photos and videos. 70/7.5 mfd capacitor is below tolerance on the HERM side. Compressor read good from megohmeter check. Will talk to managers on next steps.

When I arrived the system was not receiving 240 volts outside. The breaker is only sending a 110 and I am not receiving that full voltage outside at the Disconcerted. I do not have a breaker to replace to further test. Recommend customer calling an electrician to replace breaker and verifying integrity of lines and wall.

Preformed system maintenance on two systems with climate care discount. The newer American standard has good refrigerant charge and temperature split at the supply and return vents. All electricals are in normal operating range and the system is running smoothly and efficiently. The older trane unit also has good refrigerant charge and temperature split. Its electricals are in normal operating range, though are on the higher end of the scale. Thos is nothing to worry about now but is the 19 year old system showing its age and not running at top efficiency. I also spoke with the homeowner about a lack of float switch on the older unit aswell as a blow out access. Aswell as one room not cooling as effectively on the system.

Apon arrival checked in with customer the following are my findings Found the unit working properly at this time only recommendation is Drains please see pictures attached and estimate

Customer is aware that the system replacement is not an option anymore , has to speak with husband when he gets home . Other two systems are 1 years old .

Diagnose a faulty hot service igniter. Before I installed it I informed Paul that the part was $345. He stated that he found it online at Amazon for $40. He decided to just pay the diagnostic today
