Will follow up on Monday with Stacy to see if we can get equipment
Went for a tune up. Did replace 1 filter for customer. Temp split for system is failing. Refrigerant levels were not with manufacture specifications. Did find the txv on system is bad. Causing for coil to leak. All electrical components are passing for system. Evaporator coil does have a lot of rust and recommend a cleaning and to replace txv.
Reclaimed system refrigerant, found there was a leak in system. Repaired leak, vacuumed and recharged. Once charged with factory amount ran unit for 10 minutes per manufacturer charging instructions, adjusted TXV in handler per manufacturer specifications, then added refrigerant until desired subcool. Tested system in cooling and heat pump mode and pressures were within manufacturer specifications.
Went for an air handler inspection today. Did a static pressure test, it passed. Heat kit amperage passed. Contactor passed. Temperature split between the supply and return duct passed. Blower motor amperage passed and blower wheel is clean. Filter got replaced. Thank you for choosing LBA services!
Went for a air handler inspection today. Coil is heavy rusted. Blower motor amperage was high. Blower wheel is clean. Heat kit strips passed. Filter got changed. Thank you for choosing LBA services!
Arrived to perform repairs. Before moving to remove and replace the reversing valve, tried a suggestion from a Goodman representative. Made adjustments to the txv downstairs and estimated the ammount of adjustment it needed. Went outside and started the heat pump. Found pressures were still skyrocketing, but the system was running longer than it has in the past. Determined that the install technician had over charged the system to achieve its supposed proper charge rating, without adjusting the txv as they should have. Started removing refrigerant until the system was balanced and heating effectively. System will need all the refrigerant removed and the txv set back to the factory position, so that it can be charged back to factory specifications. This can not be done until it is 70 degrees outside and equally warm inside.
Arrived to remedy a system that is unable to heat the home. Upon inspection of the system set it for a call for heat. Went downstairs and felt the outside unit attempt to start up and run. Went outside and checked the heat pump. Found that the refrigerant pressures would just skyrocket. Checked operation of the heat pump outside and determined that the reversing valve is not going to the proper position. Will call and order parts and schedule a time for installation.
