Came out to perform preventative maintenance on AC system. Discussed with customer about maintenance being provided, filters, and any issues he was having. Customer needed me to change the filters for him, but other than that, no issues. Changed out filters for customer. Inspected the blower assembly, motor, electrical components, evaporator coil, drain and overall condition of equipment in attic. Washed condenser coil thoroughly. Inspected the compressor, fan motor, capacitor, contactor, hard start kit and electrical wiring. Cycled ac on and checked amps, temperatures and pressures of the system. Found the condenser fan motor running above recommended amp range. Recommended customer have it replaced before it has a possibility of failing this summer. Customer approved the replacement of the fan motor. Replaced the condenser fan motor and installed a new capacitor as well. Cycled ac back on and checked amps and operation of system with new motor. System is cooling properly at this time
Came out to do preventative maintenance on furnace for customer. Customer met me at front door and we discussed maintenance needed, any issues, and filters. Customer stated the furnace has been running fine and that he already took care of the filters. He asked if I could check the AC as well, since I’m here. I started my inspection with the equipment in garage. Inspected the blower assembly, motor, electrical components, inducer motor, pressure switch, gas valve, burners, flame sensor, ignitor, heat exchanger, evaporator coil, drain and overall condition of equipment. Evaporator coil is rusted, heat exchanger also has some hot spots. Checked furnace operation, amps, temperatures and gas pressures. Furnace is heating properly at this time.Cleaned condenser coil thoroughly. Inspected condenser coil, compressors, fan motor, capacitors, contactors and overall operation. Checked thermostat operation, amps, temperatures and pressures in both stages of cooling. Second stage of cooling shows
Came out for an initial Duck cleaning turned into duct, upsizing estimate. Arrived to job site and introduced myself to Mr. and Mrs. Peacock. Mr. Mrs. Peacock property was about 1900 ft.². They were in initially wanting a duct cleaning because the filters in their two returns were constantly being changed, at least once a month and can notice allergy changes as well when changing them out. Property only has two people and two pets, living inside the home. after talking to them about duck cleaning and why they were wanting one, I let them know that I was going to do a thorough inspection and provide them all the information that I find after inspection. Home 11 supplies into returns. took down two supplies and returns and inspected ductwork. House originally had floor vents, but had those capped off with cement and did a flip about five years ago. The peacocks have never had a duck queen while living there for five years, and was now dealing with filtering issues. When I opened up the
Performed preventative maintenance on furnace. Discussed with customer about maintenance needed and how things were going. I changed out customer supplied filters in home. I inspected the ductwork, blower assembly, motor, capacitor, electrical components, heat exchanger, evaporator coil and overall condition of equipment in attic. Bearings seem to be still good on the inducer motor. Heat exchanger does have some significant hot spots, but nothing concerning at this time. Cleaned flame sensor and dust off the burner compartment. Checked thermostat operation, wiring, amps, temperatures and gas pressure of furnace. Dialed gas pressure down a little bit to recommended 3.5 IWC. System is operating properly within manufacturing specs at this time.
Came out to call for a system not cooling properly. Customer stated that the system was running, but the temperature in the home was rising and they couldn’t feel any cool air. I checked the system over and found the fan motor running, but the compressor wasn't operating. Customer cleaned the unit before I arrived and had replaced the capacitor. It was wired up correctly and had the right rating. I checked to see if the compressor was hot and it wasnt, but noticed that there was oil residue on part of the coil. Told customer there’s a good chance he has a leak, but I needed to try and get the compressor operating before I could check pressures. Discussed with customer about trying a hard start kit to get it going and he wanted to try it. The hard start kit got the compressor going and I checked pressures and found the unit low on refrigerant. When discussing options the compressor made a noise and cut out, then wouldn’t come back on. Let customer know that the compressor is failing and
Came out to call for a system not cooling properly. Customer stated that the unit was working fine up until yesterday. He thought that the fan motor or compressor might be out. I cycled the system on from the thermostat and checked it over. I found the units contactor pulled in but nothing coming on. Checked power and found the unit didn’t have power to it. Customer showed me the breaker box for it and the breaker wasn’t tripped. Customer has a main breaker box at a pole in the yard, so we went over to it and found a tripped breaker there. Customer turned it back on and the unit came on with no issues. Double checked system and found no mechanical issues at this time, though the fan motor amps were running at the limit. Capacitor and contactor checked out. Customer was wondering if the storms we had the other night could’ve caused the breaker to trip and I told him it was a possibility. Especially if the system short cycled do to a brief power outage. Customer will monitor the system a
Performed preventative maintenance on AC system for customer. Customer met me at front door and we discussed maintenance needed, any issues, and filters. Customer stated the system is running fine and that he would be taking care of the filters. I started my inspection with the equipment in garage. Inspected the blower assembly, motor, electrical components, evaporator coil, drain and overall condition and operation of equipment. Evaporator coil is rusted, signs of aging. Cleaned condenser coil thoroughly. Inspected condenser coil, compressors, fan motor, capacitors, contactors and overall operation. Checked thermostat operation, amps, temperatures and pressures in both stages of cooling. Second stage of cooling shows system to be running just a tad under charged. Brought this to customers attention. After discussing the matter, customer wanted to leave as is for now. I let him know that the system may run longer in order to sustain temperatures in home when the system isn’t properly c
No cool. Joe(JC)Ritchal. 06/22/2023 I arrived call with the customer said that blowing air inside and the condenser fan was running. I found that the who run capacitor had gone week and needed to be replaced. Instead of replacing it with one capacitor I put two separate capacitors one for the compressor and one for the fan. The system is operating correctly at this time. Also please send a physical paper copy of the invoice to this customer
09JUN2023 Jason Brown Arrived for new customer not cooling well. Spoke with homeowners about their systems performance. We moved in about 2 years ago and the AC has never kept up. We’d like to either have it fixed or get it replaced. Inspected equipment found a 2018 Carrier furnace and coil. Found blower wheel and coil clean. Inspected ductwork and found there to be both a return under furnace platform and a ducted return in the attic. Return drop is in insulated hard pipe. Supply plenum is remote. Found the system to have adequate airflow and the filter clean. Inspected AC found the charge low and system dirty. Spoke with homeowners about my findings. We decided to charge it up without a leak search. Made homeowners aware that without a leak search we cannot warranty the refrigerant. Weighed in 5lbs 1 oz of 410a and cycled equipment. System is cooling with a 14 degree delta. Lower delta is likely due to high attic temps and humidity in the home. Please allow the system to run for a da
I arrived for a previous customer buying a new home. I inspected the system and found the indoor air handler to be 16 years old. I found the outdoor system to be 10 years old. I first cycled the system on in emergency heating and found the blower motor to be pulling 2.8 amps and it is not raited to run more than 3.3 amps per manufacture specifications. The blower wheel is dirty and I recommend to have it cleaned. The system is being double filtered and should only use one set of filters at the filter grill on the ceiling or one at the air handler in the closet but not both at the same time. The filter sixes are 14X24X1 =2 and 20X20X1 =1. The blower motor capacitor has been replaced and is reading 9.9MFD out of 10MFD. The range it is aloud to work in is 9.4MFD and 10.6MFD. I then checked all 3 heat strips and found the first heat strips to be running at 24.0 amps. The 2nd to be running at 23.4 amps and the 3rd to be running at 20.1 amps. The heat strips are not recommended to run more t

Came out to call for a second opinion on customers system. They had another company out to check the unit and made a repair, and the unit worked for a little bit then failed again. After checking system over I found a failed gas valve. I picked up gas valve and came back to install it. After installation of gas valve system started to fault at the control board. Control board is intermittently failing as well. Discussed with customer about repair and also replacement options. Customer wanted to replace the unit.
Performed preventative maintenance on furnace. Customer changed filters in home recently. I inspected the ductwork, blower assembly, motor, capacitor, electrical components, heat exchanger, evaporator coil and overall condition of equipment in attic. Cleaned flame sensor and burner compartment. Checked thermostat operation, wiring, amps, temperatures and gas pressure of furnace. Furnace is heating properly within manufactured specifications at this time. No issues were found with system operation.
Came out for a second opinion of hooking up lines to a mini split system and starting it up. Customer had done most of the installation himself, but needed someone to hook up the lines to the condenser, pull vacuum and start up system for him. All the electrical and drains were already done. Customer already had another company quote him, but wanted a second opinion. Gave customer estimate and discussed a fair price for the work needed. Customer had me do the work while I’m here. Connected pre-ran refrigerant lines to the condenser unit. Then nitrogen tested lineset to check for leaks, and pulled vacuum. Started unit up to make sure system was operational. Unit is cooling properly. Seeing we did not install the systems ourselves, there is no warranty on the unit itself through Interstate. The only warranty is a one year craftsmanship warranty on the connections I made. Thank you for choosing Interstate Heat and Air!
