Tech did not have materials to make repairs as shown in photos from customer. Did not charge customer as there was no diagnosis needed beyond the information provided by the customer before tech arrived on site. Metal duct trunk line needs to be re-insulated completely. Current insulation is saturated and cannot be repaired. Advised customer that we will contact them on Monday with quote to replace insulation. System is 2006, R22. Customer stated the system has been recharged several times over the past years. Tech offered to do a system operations test and customer declined. PVC drain line also needs to be insulated.

Customer invested in 2 ton Carrier SHP Consultation Code: ENGEMAHCQ
Tech found drain clogged and water in the secondary pan. Tech quoted removing water and clearing drain as well as a maintenance plan that would prevent future issues. Customer declined repair quote. Tech also noted schrader valve missing a cap.
Upon arrival tech began replacing compressor under warranty. Pressure tested to 300psi and held. Pulled vacuum and charged system with factory charge of 5lbs and 13oz R410A. Also replaced filter dryer. Changed disconnect due to pullout being broken. Started system with no challenges. System is operational at this time.
On arrival, tenant reported system not keeping up. Unit is a 9 year old RHEEM 3 ton package heat pump. Suction pressure is excessively high (low side saturation temperature near 60F) but head pressure is not (108 saturation with 86 degree outdoor ambient and 73 indoor temperature). Compressor noise gets louder and quieter every 5 minutes or so. It is a slight low growling. Compression ratio looks low with running pressures at 165/370. Heat strips are not stuck on. Recorded a video of compressor noise. Sounds very rough while starting. Second video is louder. Heat pump non fused disconnect is broken. Tech shut off power with 35 amp breaker on back porch. Tech recommends replacing disconnect. This time last year, we documented compressor grinding sound and also a leak in outdoor coil. Existing compressor in the unit today looks original to the unit. Tech Meg ohmed compressor and compressor windings checked green. Tech leak searched entire unit, indoor coil and outdoor and found no ref
Tech performed esa on 3 systems, found no challenges at todays visit Customer wasn’t home during maintenance, no inside work performed Will have to return to perform esa on air handler in attic
Tech performed one system ESA, tech found no issues at todays visit, system is back on and operating properly at this time. Customer renewed one system ESA. Billed out per office.
Upon arrival tech was informed upstairs system was not cooling. Inspected system and found R22 Freon levels reading low indicating a leak. Will need to return after getting authorization from home warranty to leak search but due to age and type of Freon tech recommends replacing system over repairing. Will email estimate to homeowner to send to home warranty for cost of leak search.
Emailed proposal, customer is getting multiple quotes.
