Gave trouble code to dispatcher, tech had part and replaced in less than an hour.
Price for service seemed fair ad explained by David.Will be contacting you when service or purchase of new unit needed.
I am a contract customer and, as always, Bay Area gives me prompt service. Rob has been maintaining my unit for at least 15 years. He’s always efficient and personable. The dude knows his stuff!!!
Robert from Bay Area serviced our split A/C system yesterday. He was both professional and personable. The system is running well now and we would recommend Robert, and Bay Area, to anyone in need of A/C service work.
The technician for Bay Area came on time, was both professional and efficient. I would highly recommend Robert Hirsch and Bay Area Air Conditioning.
Mike could not have been nicer. Called this morning, was told They could not be there until afternoon, Mike was there by 11:00!
Excellent help in helping me to select the right product for us and in getting us set up. Really nice to have someon who knows us and our home and and cen give us the right advice. And we were even out of town when the system failed and could not be fixed, but we were up and running 2 days after we got back with a brand new unit.
Gave good recommendations and tips on concerns and questions .
I would certainly give my highest recommendation.
Found system outdoor unit locked out. Power cycled unit and ran in heat mode. Suction pressure drops dramatically and never gets over 55psi, even with the outdoor txv sensing bulb in hand. Followed train troubleshooting guide for their great pumps which led me to verifying the charge before condemning the txv. Preformed leak search and found leaks in evaporator coil. Customer also told me that the unit struggled to cool towards the end of summer. Put in a part quote request form to verify whether or not the unit has a Part warranty. Charged the system with 4 lbs of refrigerant until the system pressures looked normal. Unit is heating fine.
Found air handler breaker tripped. Ran the unit in heat mode and checked heat strip amp draws, which are normal. Visually inspected all electrical components, ask if which were in good shape. Compared the required breaker size with the actual breaker size, they matched up. Checked the electrical connections for the high voltage in the air handler and in the breaker box. Found one leg of power's lug but to be very loose. This will cause overheating and tripped breakers. Tightened it up and unit is running fine.
On arrival found that the thermostat was not properly mounted to the base. Took stat off wall and found that the wires were improperly connected to the base. Rewired the base and installed thermostat. Tested system operations and found no further issues. System is in good operating condition at this time.
System had a blown fuse at time of arrival. Isolated condensing unit and determined the short was there. Found two areas of rubbed out wires. Cut out the bad wire and spliced it together, checked the contactor and float switch to ensure neither were bad. Ran and tested unit which is running fine.
PERFORMED ANNUAL MAINTENANCE. System is operating normally at this time, flushed drain line and pan added Dawn detergent.
Installed new thermostat, replaced failed re-settable fuse, ran system in heat and cool to ensure unit is running properly. System is running fine.
Cleaned indoor and outdoor coils as well as drain line and treated drain pan with antimicrobial agent. Checked all electrical connections and amp draws as well as refrigerant circuit pressures and temperatures. Unit is running fine.

System had a failed relay as well as a weak capacitor not allowing the blower motor to run. Change both and unit is running and cooling fine.
Condensing unit would not kick on due to a weak capacitor. Change capacitor air compressor is pulling 6.7 / 13.5 amps and the fan is pulling 1.2 / 1.4 amps. Unit is Cooling and running fine
System has dirty evaporator coil, restricting dehumidification. Compressor amp draw is 8.9/18 and fan is .9/1.1. Filter was slightly dirty at time of arrival. P Trap was positioned in a way that it would allow air to be ducked in from outside and not dehumidify properly. Adjusted and printed p trap, cleaned coil, and instructed tenant to change filters more frequently. The mini split is operating fine. Pressures and temperature splits are normal and unit is cooling. If customer has issue with heat still, recommend adding fan to better circulate air, and possibly turn in exhaust fan in bathroom to remove warm air sitting near the ceiling.
Sagging overflow kill switch pipe allowed water to travel into that compartment, shutting down system. Checked for blockage just in case. None present. Informed customer of things he can do to check for a problem similar to this one to prevent them in the future. Unit is running fine.
System has a bad compressor with two open windings. Replacement compressor almost impossible to get and not worth the repair. Customer opted out of system replacement. No more I can do today.
Cleaned indoor and outdoor coils as well as drain line and treated drain pan with antimicrobial agent. Checked all electrical connections and amp draws as well as refrigerant circuit pressures and temperatures. Unit is working fine.
