Raymore, MO HVAC & Plumbing Services

Went for a repair call today. Customer stated house was cooling but not blowing enough air. When checking for blower speeds. Did adjust to the correct speeds. As well as opens the damper. House is cooling at the correct speeds and efficiency. Did sign up for our membership. As well as installed the smart and sensors . Customer was able to sign in. System is up and running thank you for choosing LBA services.

Arrive to customers for AC tuneup and during inspection, received a high-level reading for static pressure, changing the blower speeds to lower static pressure and also came across a dirty evaporator coil and blower wheel. Other than that all of the components and refrigerant levels met factory specs.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Started inspection inside and measured a temperature split between return and supply air. Measured power consumption of the blower motor and checked system for cleanliness. Found that the inducer has been leaking flue condensation. Performed a static pressure test and found that the system is operating well outside manufacturers specifications. Went outside and verified system refrigerant charge. Verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the condenser. Found that the start capacitor for the compressor is right on the cusp of failing and the normal run capacitor is starting to wane in performance. Spoke with homeowner about the system. With homeowners approval performed an extensive coil cleaning to get the double wrapped coil as clean as possible. This allows the system to operate without using so much power and shortens the runtime of the system. Air conditioning system is operational at this time.

Upon arrival Brian and myself spoke with the homeowner about what he is looking to do today. He has a 15 year old system and he doesn’t want to get caught with no AC so he’s doing the smart thing and getting it taken care of now. I checked the system to make sure it was safe for him to keep running and it is ok for now. Temperature split was at 20 degrees after I lowered the blower speed down to the correct speed for a 4 ton AC which is what he has. The guys at A.B. may told him he has a 3 & 1/2 ton AC but that was incorrect info. We explained how we know it’s a 4 ton unit and that made sense to him. I am leaving the homeowner with Brian to go over options with him. Have a great weekend! Call if you have any questions or concerns!

During this visit the indoor blower motor was replaced in unit #10 (the furthest south rtu on the roof). The new motor returned the unit to proper A/C function. The temp split across the unit is in range at 21degf (71-50). The drain was filled with water and confirmed not to be clogged. While on site I checked the A/C function of the new thermostat for unit #9 and discovered that the unit started and was also cooling properly with a 20def temp split across the unit. The drain for this unit was also confirmed to be draining. Thank you, Jon

AC System Repairs: During an inspection of the client’s malfunctioning AC system, I discovered and repaired a malfunctioning fan motor in the client's AC unit. This service included diagnosing the issue, replacing the defective motor, and testing the system to confirm proper airflow. Ensuring the fan motor operates correctly is vital for efficient cooling and preventing overheating.

Today the outdoor fan motors, fan blades and capacitors were installed in units#8 and #9. Both fans were checked after install and are functioning within their manufacturer’s proper amp range. Unit #8 is operating off of the thermostat. Unit#9 is not returning a call for fan nor a call for cooling. I went downstairs and the thermostats are behind a locked in enclosure. I called Mr. Hudson and reported this to him. He wants to replace the thermostat himself. I did check the thermostat wire on r,g,y and white for a short and there was not a short present. He asked if a battery powered thermostat would be an option and I answered yes. He will contact us if there is a problem with the new thermostat. The fan motors and the fan blades are listed as miscellaneous on this invoice. The labor includes picking up the parts, installing and checking the new parts as well as gathering temperatures of the equipment while operating. Thank you, Jon Unit#8: Odf 1.24a (1.5), DT 23 (76-53)

During this visit units #7 through #10 were checked for proper cooling function. Amp draws were checked, primary voltages, voltage across the coil, all motor bearings, checked the condensers for airflow, the evaporators were checked as well as the heat exchangers. The units were visually checked for loose wires etc. Out of the four units only one was functioning enough to gather refrigerant/cooling temp info (#7). I was able to check the temperatures on #9 before the fan slowed down, however the fan may not have been running in full speed. These units are 18yrs old and they do utilize R-22 refrigerant which has been phased out of service. I did recommend replacement due to age and the higher probability of future component failures. Mr. Hudson declined a replacement estimate. The parts were checked for price and availability via Lennox however they were not in stock. I contacted a non factory supplier to try and accommodate the repairs and was able to find the outdoor fan moto

Upon arrival I began the AC tune up. First I tested the static pressure which has a maximum level of .8 and your system tested at .6 which is passing the static pressure test. I checked the running amps on the blower and it was within specs. The outdoor unit refrigerant charge is good. The temperature split is also good at 22 degrees. Supervisor Scott arrived to verify static passing. Customer had one of the return air vents covered with a clothes so we advised her to keep that off of there and have her son get a return air grille to put over that return. Have a great weekend!

Came out here to clean her blower wheel as well as install a UVC germicidal UV lamp, clean the blower installed the UV light. Everything is working properly left the unit running.

Duct clean and water heater sold

Arrived to remedy a system that was unable to keep up in the heat of the day. Performed diagnostic and found that the system is operating with very high static pressure. Found that the fan for both heating and cooling is heavily coated in dust debris. This is impeding the amount of air the system can move. Found that the condenser coil was heavily coated in debris. This impedes the systems ability to release the heat that is absorbed inside. Spoke with homeowner about concerns with the system. With homeowners approval performed a condenser coil cleaning. Once the coil was cleaned double checked the systems refrigerant levels. Found refrigerant levels to be within factory specifications. Reached out to a supervisor to complete the diagnosis on the systems static pressure. Set up the smart ac monitoring system and got the house on the maintenance plan.

Arrive for AC maintenance. Started with static pressure which was extremely high. Lowered the blower wheel speed. Which did reduce some static pressure. However it is still failing. Called out as supervisor to finalize a diagnosis. However, homeowner needs to run to an appointment. appointment will reschedule a visit with supervisor. All indoor and outdoor coil, electrical components testing within manufacture specifications, new filter, added. the proper manufacture specifications. Suggesting a blower wheel pull in clean as well as a few people to keep the system clean and new as possible. Mary with like a callback from us to discuss these upgrades. Thank you Mary. Have a great week.

AC maintenance. Indoor temperature split was a bit low but good. The static pressure was right where it should be. Outdoor unit was operating well, however the fan was almost over amping and this is most likely due to the fact that refrigerant levels are very low. We had 3.2° of sub cooling in May 2023 and we now have 0.7° so there’s definitely a leak in the system. I let the homeowner know and I am attaching the price of a new a coil so that they have a idea of what that might cost. If they want to replace the entire AC we can have a supervisor head out and give them prices on that. In the meantime because they are members, I charged up the system with 1 pound of refrigerant and was able to get the sub cooling to 1.7°. However, this will not last very long with the leak.

Completed A/C tune up, checked pressures, cap, and amps at outdoor, all were good. Inside we found system had high static pressure and discussed options with customer. Blower wheel is starting to accumulate dust, along with outdoor coil, customer declined additional cleaning today. We did complete all of our checks including a basic rinse of the outdoor coil.
