Drain cleaning. Arrived at a residential home to perform cleaning on their drainage systems. The cleaning will ensure the systems are free of obstructions and functioning well to remove water from the home.

For this job I was showing up because the furnace and AC were not working. Upon checking the unit it is clear that the motor had blown and taken the control board with it. Both will need to be replaced. However, soon after I checked that, I checked the heat exchanger, which had cracks and holes in it, and the capacitor, which is also dead for the blower motor. Because of all these repairs, it is much more beneficial to get a new system with a fresh 10 year warranty rather than replacing all these parts, and paying about the same price anyways.

Customer is happy

Found failed static pressure. I showed customer why static pressure is failed and what that can cause. Customer understood and we are now looking to finance the work that needs done. Once we are approved I will reach out to customer and work out schedule.

Arrived to remedy a leaking humidifier. Opened up the humidifier and found that the panel was excessively covered in calcium buildup. When calcium builds up like this it directs the flow of water away from the panel and drain. Cleaned up the humidifier housing and bracketry and replaced the humidifier panel. Assembled the humidifier and tested system operations. It took some calibrating but we were finally able to get the water to hit the drain and the humidifier to operate properly. Tested the systems static pressure and found that it is operating well beyond the systems maximum rated static pressure. Tried a few different methods to bring the system within spec. Reached out to a field supervisor to finish the diagnosis on the systems static pressure.

Static call

Arrived for an ac tune up. Checked all working components and electrical. At this time found static pressure was failing. Blower wheel was also getting dirty. Nick came out to review and talk with Linda about static pressure. Everything else was looking great.

When I arrived the customer was not home but left the garage door open for me. I jumped the unit into cooling mode and found static pressure to be failing. I checked the electrical components and everything was within spec. I found the blower wheel to be extremely dirty. I moved to the outdoor unit and checked all electrical and refrigerant levels. At this time I found the capacitor to be failing. The outdoor unit is in need of an extensive coil cleaning at this time. I washed the coil off with water to get it as clean as I could. Recommended to get the blower wheel cleaned on the indoor unit, a new capacitor and an extensive coil clean on the outdoor unit.

Upon arrival I put the system into cooling mode. On the indoor unit I checked static pressure which passed, I then checked the electrical components and blower wheel. I did find that the blower wheel was extremely dirty and that the gas valve was leaking slightly. On the out door unit I checked all electrical and refrigerant levels, everything was within spec. I did find that then two wire had been chewed up by an animal and the coil was dirty. Brought the issues and options to fix to the customer and she decided to get the gas valve replaced and fix the wiring on the outdoor unit. I fixed the wiring on the outdoor unit but we will have to come back to replace the gas valve after we get a warrantied one from a distributer. Customer financed the repairs with Service Finance. Credit Application number is #4746053.

Upon arrival I put the system into the heating mode. I checked static pressure and found it to be failing. I checked all electrical components as well as did a combustion analyzer test. Found all levels to be within spec. The only issue found on the indoor unit was a dirty blower wheel. Switched the system to cooling mode, checked all electrical components and refrigerant levels on the outdoor unit. All levels were within spec, only issue found was an extremely dirty coil. Spoke with the customer about issues found and options to fix them. The customer did not want to proceed with fixing them today and is looking to budget to get them done soon. I washed the outdoor coil and the system was running when I left.

During this visit approved repairs were completed. The new parts were checked for proper function before and after installation. System #1 (s/n W1D7618915): A new contactor was installed System #3 (s/n 0807756008): A new run capacitor was installed System #4 (s/n 12126KF43F): A new capacitor was installed The new parts were labeled with todays date and are functioning correctly. Thank you, Jon

4-18-24 Building #2 apartments 306 AC and fan only is not working. This is one of the apartments where they put the wrong size heat package in. Found the thermostat wires and the transfer control wiring all chopped up See pictures I re-landed all the wires from the thermostat to the air handler and transfer box. System is running and all modes. When I checked the outdoor unit, I found the king valve caps, and the service valve loose and also there was oil around that area.

Upon arrival the AC was not cooling the house. At inspection I tested the static pressure which was failing. Lindsey is here working on a solution for the static pressure. The indoor blower runs perfect. I went outside and the unit was not running. I found the error code telling me it was in lockout mode because of a high pressure switch was tripped. I reset the unit and everything started up but because it’s only 47 degrees. I called the Bluon technical support and they assisted me in the diagnosis. They think one of the TXV’s(inside or outside) is not metering the refrigerant properly. I let the customer know all of this info and let her know I will need to return on a warmer day to get the system fixed and locked in properly. She was very nice and understanding when gave her the news. We will schedule to come back out on a warmer day. I will contact scheduling to call and pick a better day with the customer. Customer paid the $59 Trip & Diagnosis fee by card.

4-17-24 Bldg #1 Apartment #308 AC is not working Went through the carrier troubleshooting process concerning communication, the PO and 0U fault code. All the tests actually came out correct and working however, still having a problem with the compressor coming on I did take some resistance readings of the compressor windings and I’m waiting for a call back from Carrier service tech to confirm these are too high or too low. It’s probably been two hours since I called I did not find the compressor show the ground, which is a good thing, but it may have high resistance of the windings, causing this to lock out 4-16-24 Air conditioners not working the following building apartments These are carrier mini split Inverters systems Bldg #3 Apartment # 207 Carrier air handler Model # FMA4X1800AL, Serial # V211461719 Found the system not working Found the evaporator overflow safety switch triggered.
