Removed water from both hvac & water heater drain pans…. Attempted to clear primary. Recommend two additional shut off valves where HVAC and water heater drain both tee in together. Unable to perform this recommended repair due to not enough three-quarter inch PVC exposed out of wall cavity. (See photo) Tech/installer Will need to have more Three-quarter inch PVC exposed out of wall. so that existing assembly can be cut out to rebuild junction with two new Jones blow out valves (One for water heater and one for AC ) Already Left estimates for new drain pan. Highly recommend a comfort advisor visit. (Evaporator coil, deteriorating/falling apart unable to threat in PVC fitting into secondary discharge port. Therefore, it is leaking onto makeshift drain pan. Also issues with primary drain where it ties into water heater.)
Performed one system hvac maintenance. - On arrival, found emergency drain pan retaining water and rerouting outside due to a clogged/restricted primary drain that ties in with the water heater.. - Emergency pan is just sitting on like cradling on plumber strap and not actually screwed to the pan. Upon accessing indoor equipment and examining pan water almost rushed out of pan but was able to stop it before it hit the attic floor/ceiling causing damage. - Notified homeowner of critical water issue and homeowner authorized level three drain clearing package, including SS1 float switch, & Jones blowout valve. Perform the service immediately to prevent water damage. - System AC/cooling maintenance: Water rinsed condenser coils. Found compromised capacitor and contactor on condenser. Blower motor wheel dirty. Homeowner authorized bundle package with new contactor, capacitor, and hard start kit to keep old R 22 system alive. - After performing AC diagnostics and repairs. Re-tested syste
Upon arrival homeowner met me in driveway. Explained to me that his thermostat was intermittently powering off. Thermostat was powered on when I walked up to it. Ran a call for cooling from thermostat. At arrival primary drain line & auxiliary/emergency drain pan had no retained water. After a few minutes of operating in cooling mode, primary began to back up due to restriction between hvac and bathroom sink. Indoor blower motor has significant buildup on the blower wheel which negatively affects blower motor and will lead to premature failure….also causes the equipment to perform inadequately with low efficiency. Suction line Armaflex insulation is damaged at indoor air handler and completely missing at the outdoor equipment. Homeowner declined all recommendations for repairs and said he was going to have his friend come perform service. Emailed estimates.
Contactor testing low. Strong possibility of failure. Contactor replaced unit in good working order upon departure.

Measured temperature differential from supply to return. 20 degrees measured. 14. Inspected drain lines and treated to prevent blockages 15. Washed condenser unit to promote heat exchange Blower motor and blower wheel covered and growth. Removed and disassembled blower wheel and housing and thoroughly cleaned with chemicals. Recommend replacing contactor as it is testing low and expected to fail.
Examined the design of the dryer vent, supply registers, return registers, and equipment cleanliness. I provided pricing for duct cleaning, dryer vent, and the blower. I hooked up my air advice and it didn’t send the form to my iPad. I referred to an air advice reading back in 2023. We have t perform any cleaning and informed the customer that would’ve only progressed from that point.
Arrived at the property for ac not cooling properly client stated that issue had been happening for about a week, and periodically working and not working. We initially diagnosed a failed high pressure switch. We did temporarily bypass the switch and were able to get power to the turn the unit on and further diagnosed a failed outdoor fan motor. We brought all our findings to our clients attention. Spoke to client about possibly getting a new unit. Client decided to get second opinion.
Arrived on site customer stated all was well with regards to normal system operation. Started inspection at the air handler. Customer had recently changed filter. Capacitor was testing outside of manufacture specs recommend replacement. Blower motor amps were a little high and it was noticed that there was a good amount of dust accumulation on the blower wheel that could lead to a premature failure of the blower motor. Recommend blower cleaning. Upon inspection of the outdoor unit, it was noticed that both the compressor capacitor and the fan capacitor were testing outside of manufacturer specifications. Recommend replacement to ensure system longevity. Contactor was testing within range. Compressor start amps were slightly high, but not concerning. Compressor and fan run amps were within range. Washed outdoor condenser coils to promote heat exchange and prolong system life. Customer stated he did not have more time as he had an appointment and with call in to the office to get repairs
Performed single system heating maintenance. I checked electrical, cleanliness, drains, filter, and safeties. The system is now heating at full capacity.
Performed single system heating maintenance. Checked amps, capacitor, filter, electrical, cleanliness, drains, and safeties. System is heating to manufacture specifications. Recommendations 1. Performing a cleaning on the blower due to high amount of growth present. 2. Installing a u/v light to sterilize the inside of the airhandler to try and prevent growth from returning (should be done after blower is clean)
2016 train downflow with straight electric heat everything operating with the manufacturing specs heat kit is operational working no heat pump outdoor recently replaced capacitor on condensing unit still within the plus -5% range of recommended changing did send a quote for a pulling clean on the evaporator coil into a little buildup debris
Found the fan set to on with the cycle set to off. This caused the blower to run continuously. I switched the fan to auto and the fan shut off. Cycled the system a couple of times and it shut off normally. I checked the refrigerant pressures and determined the system has a liquid line restriction due to it having low suction pressure, slightly low liquid pressure, high superheat, and high sub cooling. I priced to pump the system down and replace the liquid line drier, purge the line set with nitrogen, check the piston, pressure test, and vacuum the refrigerant lines.
We are not within price range that customer is comfortable with. System has 15 supplies and 2 returns. Blower is dirty and needs cleaning. Customer asked about leveling outdoor system and was not interested in the range I gave her.
Fall PM- Checked: blower motor and wheel, electrical wiring and connections, limit switches and safety controls, airflow, filters, temperature rise, thermostat, amp draws, capacitor, gas line and connections, (no gas leaks), gas flow, burners, orifices, ignitor, heat exchangers, and flame quality. The flame sensor was cleaned.
