I arrived at our clients home to preform a system inspection. This is a 2.5 ton straight ac with electric heat system. I first began by testing and checking the indoor unit and putting a heat load on the home. I increased the temperature to 74° and ensured the electric heat was working properly. The blower motor capacitor is near failure and the blower motor is visibly failing with oil coming from the motor. It is also pulling in more than double the recommended manufacturer amperage. I proceeded to place the unit to cool the home and found the pressures to be low. When I shut the unit off I could also see visible signs that the indoor coils were beginning to freeze over. I did. To preform a leak search on the system today and when attempting to contact our client I was only able to leave a voice mail.
