Upon arrival unit was operational and heating. Started by calling for heat went up to the furnace and checked amps the blower amps were in range and tie inducer amps were slightly high but not at the max. Cleared condensation lines and temp split was in range, blower wheel was free of oil.safety switches were working properly. Ducting was R-4 explained to the homeowner that it’s outdated ducting. Upon departure unit was operational and heating.
Technician arrived to perform tune up -Condenser was cleaned out thoroughly -Filter was replaced -Refrigerant levels are within range -Condenser fan motor is in rough condition, drawing very high amps and it isn’t even hot out here yet -Replacement of motor was recommended -Blower motor is also dirty -Safety switch was not wired, just sitting in compartment doing nothing -I wired it up for client -System is currently cooling
Performed maintenance on a 2017 Goodman Condenser. System was chemically cleaned. Compressor can use a compressor assist kit due to the refrigerant line size. Outdoor fan motor has signs of over heating. Refrigerant levels are ok. Filters are clean at this time. Starting components were measured and are ok. Both systems are not electrically protected. Customer will talk to husband regarding further protection. System is operational at end of appointment.
Arrived on site to perform fall tune up on a 1999 American standard system. Furnace located in garage. Blower assembly and wheel dirty creating stress on motor. Recommend cleaning assembly to reduce stress and high amp on motor. Motor is leaking oil from over working And pulling 8 amps when max rated at 12. Indicating Motor has Indefinite wear and could fail in future. Recommend replacing blower motor to extend life. Found igniter really low on rang and could fail in future. Safety flames sensor is Oxidized and has burnt spots from self wear over past years of operation. Could fail due to condition it’s currently in. Recommend replacing flame sensor and igniter to prevent heat not operating properly. Evaporator coil good as it was recently replaced few years back. Drain lines are good and pump is operational. Temperature rise is heating at 55 degrees. No protection unit. Cycled heater on to ensure system is operational. Went over all summary of findings and concerns and as well as
Arrived on site to perform diagnostic on 5 year old Goodman system. System was replaced before homeowners moved in 3 years ago. Homeowner states that system was not cooling on Saturday, but then it started working fine ever since but would still like to get it checked. Cycled system for cooling. Indoor unit kicks on fine, but outdoor compressor was slightly delayed on start up but eventually started up and started cooling. Refrigerant pressures are in range and system is cooling efficiently. Upon evaluation found a low secondary motor control for compressor which was causing it to struggle in start up, which was what could have caused it to not turn on Saturday. Perform attic and duct inspection. Return ducts are not sealed properly and also not designed correctly being placed on top of the furnace instead of on the side with a plenum. Went over all findings and recommendations with homeowner, she is fully aware of the condition of the system. With approval replaced secondary motor con
Arrived on site to perform spring tune up on a 2018 Payne unit. Condenser is located in back yard. Furnace and Evaporator coil is located in garage. Client stated no issues. Cycled both bit and it was operational. Washed condenser coil inside and out. Found primary control good and secondary was in range. Checked start up amps and are in range but would recommend adding a compressor booster kit to help preserve compressor. Run amps are pulling 14 and max rated at 20. Refrigerant pressures are good and cooling hole at 20 degrees. Found no surge protectors on unit. Client stated he would replace filter him self and supply his own and recommend replacing every 3 months. Cycled unit and went over all findings and recommendations with client. Client is aware how unit is running and conditions and did hold off on recommendations for now. Cycled system to ensure system operating. System is operational and cooling upon departure.
Ensured gas line was tightened and bubble tested. Replaced return flat register. Added foam tape to refrigerant entry in return platform.

Motor is leaking oil from over working And pulling 8 amps when max rated at 12. Indicating Motor has Indefinite wear and could fail in future. Recommend replacing blower motor to extend life of system. Heat exchanger has heat impingement at this time no cracks found. Found igniter really low on rang and could fail in future. Safety flames sensor is Oxidized and has burnt spots from self wear over past years of operation. Could fail due to condition it’s currently in. Recommend replacing flame sensor and igniter to prevent heat not operating properly. Evaporator coil good
Include bubble wrap closet walls and sheet metal platform skin.
Upon arrival performed maintenance. Outdoor system was opened up and washed out. Amperages on compressor are good. Refrigerant levels and temp splits are very good. Subcool and superheat in range. Indoor moto lesking oil.customer has home warranties. System is 2 years old. Dusted off and blew out all dust from electrical components. Circuit board good. Secondary motor control good. Primary motor control good. Customer replaced capacitor. 20x25x1 filter was replaced. System was reset tested and fully functional upon departure.
