Provided maintenance on equipment and verified good operations. Compressor did have a shutter to its start. System is operating good at this time, suction pressure was a bit high for today’s indoor/outdoor temperatures but has good delta t (air temperature split) and good starting and operating amps. Noticed compressor has potentially experienced reverse rotation, would recommend a sure switch smart contactor with surge protection and short cycling protection to help prevent wear and tear on equipment.
The unit was iced over. I shut the compressor down and let the outdoor fan run. I checked the indoor coil and found the insulation for the cabinet had fallen onto the coil restricting the airflow. I spoke with the homeowner about the air filters and she showed me the ones she changed out and they were excessively dirty. These conditions will cause a coil to freeze over. I defrosted the unit and glued the insulation back onto the cabinet Temperature split readings and gauge are good. I found the service valves leaking. I replaced both service valves and added Freon caps. The unit is operating properly at this time.

I found the capacitor for the upstairs unit testing bad. The contactor is burnt from high starting amps. I replaced the capacitor and added a true soft inrush. The inrush bypasses the contactor and starts the compressor itself. The unit is operating properly at this time. Recommended maintenances on both systems to prevent future issues with the systems.
Ductwork replacement and insulation in Avondale
Performed cool home cooling maintenance on 2021 Trane Hp split system. No found issues at time of visit. Rinse outdoor coil. System operating properly at manufacturer specifications.
Condensate leaking from bathroom vent. Air handler and secondary pan both install wrong and not leveled correctly. Condensate from unit not flowing correctly due to unit not being installed properly causing condensation to go into secondary pan. Pan is not installed properly to slope towards drain hole. All condensation is flowing straight to back on pan and overflow into attic causing leak in bathroom. Advised homeowners of findings and best solutions to resolve issue. Homeowner decided to go with new pan and float switch replacement. Also noticed some bad duct work and detached duct work recommend Enery Audit to homeowners. I did get some water out of pan and away from where overflow was coming from.

Air balance. Adjusted dampers to increase air in master bath.
I gave estimates to replace the secondary pan P-trap and add a safety switch. The homeowner wanted to clear the condensate and look over the other estimate, possibly wanting to replace the system.
