Dispatched for ac not cooling properly. After a thorough inspection my finding point at a dirty blower, dirty coil and starting to rust at joints, a clogged condenser coil and low on refrigerant. With a dirty blower wheel makes the blower motor to over amp and at points not be able to move enough air through the system. The other issue is the coil inside. When this coil has blockage the system cannot pull air through and transfer heat to the outdoor unit. It will cause the coil to buildup with ice and make the compressor to over work. Also with the rust buildup on the coil there could be a small refrigerant leak which could be why the system is low. A clogged outdoor unit also makes the compressor to over work in the process to release heat and that’s why on really hot day the system will not satisfy and possibly shut the unit down.

Determined system has about $3000 in repairs snd is slightly oversized for the house. Scheduled a RTP for Friday 5/23 at 3pm.

Upon arrival I checked in and was told that the front half of the office that has the cubicles was not staying at 70. At the unit responsible for this area I read off a contactor #1 failure. The contactor was function checked and the control voltage to it was also checked. The A/C functions all started and remained operating until the set-point was reached. Temperatures and amp draws were gathered. The unit was cycled several times from the thermostat without a failure. At this time the unit is functioning in cooling mode. During this visit there were no malfunctions observed.

5-15-25 First floor HVA system condenser is tripping the breaker. This is the carrier unit. Spoke to Bob on site Found #4 condenser fan motor is locked up, causing theocircuit breaker the trip. As a temporary repair, I disabled number four condenser fan motor. I will order a new fan motor. Also I’m gonna order the contactors for the other condenser fan motors and the compressor. They are all pretty pitted up right now. Bob also had me take a look at the cafeteria systems. They don’t seem to be working. The south system number one the evaporator is frozen up again. This is the one that I found the fire damper closed. Today I found the blower motor is locked up, ordered and picked up a new blower motor then installed with a new capacitor. The #2 system is an old R 22 system. It’s acting like it’s low Freon. I didn’t install my gauges today. We’re gonna kinda see how it goes. If it’s a major repair Bob does not want repaired.

System is cooling

Customer called for no cooling. Upon review of records multiple pieces of equipment have been put in and taken out until we have what sits here today. Equipment was originally installed as communicating but thermostat was unable to connect to customers internet. We installed a non communicating smart thermostat and at time of change outdoor unit wiring was not revised to match. Unfortunately due to lack of control wires available system was field converted to a single stage unit until we can return and install compatible thermostat that will communicate and connect to customers internet.

Today I arrived and met Brittany. She led me to the equipment and had a concern about the A/C not working and water dripping below the furnace as well as the warehouse being cooled when it is not supposed to be. I diagnosed a clogged condensation drain line. The emergency drain pan was full of water and the cut out float switch had opened. The drain was cleared using nitrogen and the water in the drain pan was vacuumed out. The system resumed operation. The blower compartment was inspected for water damage and found to be dry. The floor drain that this unit uses to drain water is currently backed up. I referred Brittany to A-1 commercial plumbers. The ductwork was found to have an unused elbow ontop of the plenum that was sending cold air into the warehouse. This was remediated by capping the elbow. The blower motor amps and temperatures were rechecked after capping the unused elbow. The temperatures are in proper range with a 20deg differential (55-75). This

5-13-25 Office split system is not cooling correctly. Upon arrival, found the compressor and suction line were frosted over. Also there was no airflow. Blower is working however I’m pretty sure the evaporator is frozen shut the unit down. I’m gonna be back in the morning to diagnose system. Possibly add a free statin timer.
