Performed cool home maintenance on both gas package units Systems both operating properly at time of visit
Arrived to home and unit was not cooling correctly, when I got on roof I found water pouring down roof due to it thawing from being frozen. My gauges showed unit was extremely low on refrigerant. Unit is 23 years old and I recommend not dumping a bunch of money into this system and to get a comfort consultant out to give him some quotes. Ryan will be out 12-3 today. Unit is not running at departure.
The unit has a bad outdoor fan motor. The unit has been overheating the compressor and the capacitor for the compressor. Tested bad. The contactor switch was burnt and needs replaced. I replaced the 825 outdoor fan motor, capacitor and switch the units operating properly.
No charge flipped it over to Ryan to give a quote. Originally homeowner said that unit would not turn off. The thermostat was having issues when I was there and she has wiring that is really bad and shorting out. When I got there today I found the compressor was overheated. It’s just pulling really high amperage and I don’t have anything to compare it to because the manufacture specs are gone. There’s just too many items that need to be fixed on that unit. I strongly suggested replacing it. Unit is not running at departure.
Arrived to home and homeowners unit was completely down, there was a bad duel cap and burned wiring. got them cooling but there’s other problems that really need to be addressed if they plan on keeping this old unit. The low voltage wire is falling apart and shorted outside and inside unit and Contactor is not in good condition. Also unit is low on refrigerant. I don’t reccomend putting a bunch of money in unit as it’s very old. Homeowner is expecting a call from office to get a comfort consultant out to give a quote on a new unit. Unit running at departure.
Arrive to home and customer said he couldn’t get his unit to go below 78°. I did a temperature differential and had 21° and also pressures and temperatures look correct. Capacitors checked out the only item that concerned me was the condenser fan motor is 170°, it is possible that thing is cutting out in the heat of the day, but it didn’t do it while I was there. Homeowner is not prepared to replace that right now. He is just going to keep an ion it because the unit is old and he’s not sure if he wants to put the money into it . Unit running out departure.
Arrive to home and spoke with customer, she told me a previous company was out and did a bunch of repairs. When I opened the unit up, I found wiring burned that needed to be fixed. Normally this is due to loose connections and heat buildup. Customer told me to only do repair today, however, we did talk about installing a in rush device to lower the starting amps and about doing preventative maintenance. The only other estimate I left was for the Remi halo because homeowner mentioned that his wife has asthma and bad allergies. They are extremely beneficial unit to have in your air conditioning system. Unit running at departure with a 23° temperature differential.
Performed cooling preventative maintenance on both units. The unit on the front of the house was missing service caps. I replaced the caps. the unit on the back of the house had high starting anps. I added an inrush device. I recommended surge protection for both units to protect the control boards and indoor blower motors
