08/30/24 TS- multiple quotes on installing a new gas waterheater. Water supply lines need to be replaced. Water shutoff works but needs to be updated. Gas line needs a sediment trap and a new shutoff valve. Waterheater is on a stand but there's no pan.
System down on arrival Original capacitor not in tolerance at 6 of 45 System has 17 delta after capacitor replacement System left in cooling at exit
Tech arrived at a service call. It was very cold outside. The customer mentioned a noise when the outside system was functioning. Upon inspection, the fan motor was fatigued and squealing during operation. The contactor was scorched and audibly buzzing. The pipe temp refrigerant test indicated that the system was low on refrigerant. The filter was clean the blower area and coil was very dirty. There was growth present. The evaporator coil was rusted. There was no observed water safety. The customer was informed of recommendations today. Due to age, condition, price of repairs and presence of R22; it is recommended that the customer speak with a Comfort Advisor about upgrading to something more reliable with warranties behind it. The outside system was left in the off position. The heat strips were heating upon departure.
Upon arrival for service system on and not cooling. Inspected system and found capacitor out of tolerance. Replaced capacitor. System came on and cooled properly. Recommended compressor saver kit to help reduce wear on compressor and capacitor. Left system on and cooling.
