I performed a single system cooling maintenance on a 2022 zoned gas system. I checked amps, capacitor, filter, drains, electrical, cleanliness, and safeties. The system is currently pulling higher than recommended amps during start up. This leads to part damage on the outdoor unit. To lower this amp draw, it is advised to install a hard start kit. The customer and I discussed adding a return to the garage. I took some photos of the spot the customer would like it to be installed. The return needs to be installed more towards the furnace when connecting it to the plenum. This way the return is not across from the bypass duct on the plenum.
