No cool diagnostic Upon arrival found the thermostat calling for cooling and indoor system operational, inspected the air filter then went in the attic to inspect the indoor system then turned the power on at the breaker but the breaker won’t stay on, moved the the outdoor system, inspected the capacitor, the fan motor and the compressor. Found found short to ground, the HVAC. system is 8 years advised the client to have us replace the whole outdoor system or the entire Hvac system, the client thinks that his system is under manufacturer warranty he will be contacting the company who installed it 6 years ago. Diagnostic completed. Please follow up on Wednesday per client’s request.
Performed 2 cooling tune ups. Checked all major components and system operation. Flushed drain lines. Cleaned condenser coils. Recommend replacing upstairs air filters. Found upstairs blower is dirty, pulled and chemically cleaned it. Recommend Teflon treatment for both blowers and evaporator coils to maintain cleanliness. No surge protection, recommend power surge protectors to protect compressors and fan motors. One of the systems is not equipped with a start capacitor, recommend hard start kit for downstairs unit. The systems are operating properly at this time. Found downstairs air scrubber bulb burnt out prematurely, covered by manufacturer warranty. Replaced air scrubber bulb and filled out warranty claim form.
R410a up to specs Hard start kit Capacitor 1)tune up 2) I checked all capacitors and inspected blower wheel assembly I also checked for proper delta t and confirmed system is low on refrigerant and capacitor is weak and advised to install hard start kit, client authorized all repairs. 3)Job complete, left thermostat on desired temperature.
Installed warranty defrost board. Ensured board controls heating and reversing valve properly. The system is operating properly at this time.
Performed cooling tune up. Flushed drain line. Cleaned condenser coil. Checked all major components and system operation. Found that air filter is incorrect size and fell into return duct causing system to have no filtration. Correct size needed is 13x21x1, recommend IAQ 1000 air filter, customer declined IAQ 1000 and will purchase and replace filter themselves. Found evaporator coil very dirty, chemically cleaned it. Applied Teflon treatment to evaporator coil and blower wheel. Found very little insulation on suction line outside, replaced it with new suction line insulation. Found system had no flood protection, installed wet switch flood protection unit. Customer stated that line set would freeze in heating mode over the winter, they pulled disconnect and have been running electric heat only. Turned system to heating and found that it is calling for reversing valve and running in cooling on call for heat. Verified board has failed with AirTemp tech support. Ordered defrost board cov

Heat tune up x2 checked for gas leaks and CO non detected. Checked amps and DT. Checked blower wheel and replaced filters. Cleaned flame sensor. Advised customer to replace Uv bulbs. Cycled systems a couple times. Working normally at this time
Heat inspection found heat pump low on refrigerant customer was aware was running system on emergency heat. Found leak on liquid line on out door unit to heat pump. Did leak search. Pulled fuses for heat pump outside customer will call installer for warranty.
Upon arrival GF inspection system non ops, as I was checking the system notice flame sensor causing system to short cycle, check coil, check filter, check blower amp, ohm igniter. Note sign of CO is leaking at the furnace.
The economy solution is ideal if you want to take care of immediate issues only and plan for any additional needs in the future Fall safety inspection and maintenance on a heating system. Turned the thermostat to heat and raised the temperature to 80* inspected the indoor unit, found burned uv light bulb advised client to get it replaced also found missing refrigerant caps to the outdoor unit. Replaced the uv bulb and installed 2 refrigerant caps on the condenser. Client bought the air scrubber bulb and a dryer vent cleaning this job needs to be done when we come back for spring tune up. The fall inspection and maintenance is completed.
Hvac Diagnostic Service: Heating System Inspection Technician Diagnosis: -Heat System short cycling -Evaporator Coil 90% Restricted: causing the Evaporator Coil to freeze during cooling mode, also causing heating mode to short cycle due to improper air flow, cleaning Advised. -No air filters installed, installation Advised -I contacted Amana Tech Support for Hvac Diagnostic assistance. We changed the temperature limit setting from 80f. To 90f. -Hvac System contains R22 refrigerant (please see attached forms) -Heating Temperature: 120f. -Cooling Temperature: 59f. -Condensate Drain Flush Performed Air Filter Replacement Link: https://www.repairclinic.com/PartDetail/Air-Filter/20415801/2645643
