Arrived to verify a systems need for replacement. Spoke with the homeowner and gathered that there is an internal failure in the compressor. Tested the windings of the compressor and found them failed. Tested to see if the compressor is shorted to ground and unfortunately it is. The heart of the air conditioner is completely failed. Inspected the furnace to ensure that once the ac is repaired or replaced that the system will be able to continue to operate without issue. Found that the furnace fan takes a while to get up to speed, and is making a droning noise while trying to get to speed. Tested the systems airflow and found that the system is operating with failing static pressure. Relayed all information to the field supervisor to build different estimates for different options to address the different issues. Breaker to the ac is left in the off position. Furnace is operational upon departure. Thanks for the cards!
