2015 Waterfurnace 3 series has experienced a compressor internal mechanical failure caused by welded contacts on the starting relay running the compressor non-stop forever. When the thermostat call was satisfied and the water pump and air blowers shut down the compressor continued to pump the refrigerant causing the ice freeze over on the coils. At the same time after a third party plumber replaced one of two flow center pumps, the glycol ground loop was never recharged and is currently at 0 psi Due to the welded contacts on the starting relay the compressor has experienced permanent damage from pumping liquid and will no longer pump refrigerant during today's testing. The refrigerant compressor, discharge line muffler, liquid line filter dryer, TXV, and all refrigerant needs replaced. Nitrogen refrigerant line particulate flush 2 T&P ports, 1 is leaking The failed 2 pole starting relay and 440 volt power supply are required to match the new compressor Glycol ground loop needs to
2012 Rheem heat pump 5 ton r410a Upon arrival homeowner had already had the system r410a refrigerant recharged by Apex pros for emergency reasons however they do not provide a leak stop or leak search service to perform repairs. They will only replace the equipment at 13 years old. Homeowner understands the processes and procedures of leak stop and dye after discussions with JP before today's visit Run test equipment in cooling mode to confirm acceptable running refrigerant pressures at the outdoor heat pump of the main house Perform leak stop/uv die injection Outdoor system is running in good condition and homeowners change the filters religiously No services were performed inside the house today
Per homeowners description of the conditions the house is warm and blowing warm air and ice is freezing at the evaporator coil freon line. Suction line pressure is running at 43. Equipment is 30 plus years old, original to the house, and has developed leaks in a unknown locations. R22 equipment is obsolete and no repairs are available. Recharge only at today's visit Water flush condenser coil Supply temperature at closest floor register 56 Due to the orientation of the service ports on the line set, leak stop injections could not be attached to the equipment. Recommend replacement of the full system
Replace Trane OEM compressor Recover refrigerant, remove failed compressor, purge lines with nitrogen to remove and burnt oil and refrigerant. Replace filter drier, install new oem compressor, nitrogen pressure test for leaks. Pull down to 500 microns with vacuum, inject acid away, charge in 12lbs 12oz of new r410a refrigerant, install new 35uf capacitor, and test run system in cooling mode. Refrigerant pressures are within spec, fan motor and compressor are operating within specs. No other issues found at this time. Inspected ERV and humidifier for any problems. ERV is operational but not operating due to high indoor humidity. Humidifier is operating but was shutoff in thermostat settings. All are operational with no issues suspected.
Initial visual inspection on outdoor unit showed a failed capacitor and mice nest that chewed some wiring. Replaced capacitor and removed damaged wiring in an attempt to get the AC operational. Flipped on breaker downstairs to initiate test run. Immediately there was a visual spark inside of the breaker and it tripped immediately. After further inspection of outdoor unit high wolvage wiring, found that the compessor has internally shorted from leg to leg. Compressor has failed and will need replaced along with Compressor high voltage supply plug/wiring. Trane supply is closed at this time so a call will be made the following morning to get availability, pricing, and to check for warranty status. A quote will be made and emailed over when complete.

2013 Waterfurnace 7 Series geothermal unit running in great condition. 30x32x4 air filter is new today. Visual inspection of air coil. Flush condensation drain pan and drain trap. Run test unit in cooling mode from Aurora Aid Tool. All parameters measured within spec during testing. Photos of Aid Tool uploaded to file for refrigerant, air and water measurements. System is operating properly, efficiently and ready for Summer.
Replace OEM expansion valve and filter drier Repressurize ground loops to 60 PSI maximum house water pressure Confirm stable running refrigerant pressures at 115 and 235 Homeowners will pay via online Link
Install replacement inlet water temperature sensor and suction line thermistor The entering water temperature sensor sent from water furnace warranty department was the incorrect sensor. It is 1 of 2 entering water temperature sensor on the system and leading to the variable speed drive however the one we need is connected to P1 on the AXB board The correct part number needed is 12P560-01 and will need ordered from the water furnace online warranty department Please reschedule with homeowner when parts have arrived 5-27-25 Return and install the correct water temperature sensor attached to P1 on AXB board Confirm correct temperature readings Both sensors are with Seth and will be returned to Ashlea for warranty processing
Water furnace carrier geothermal split system cooling system maintenance, tune up, cleaning, filter rotation, winter shutdown Shut down humidifier for summer, replace 20x25x4 Filtrete filter already on site, flush cooling system drain, perform diagnostic scan on water furnace 1x E8 over or under voltage power supply issue. No other active or stored service code since the last service. Non pressurized flow center two pump running in good condition All equipment is clean safe and ready for summer Vision pro 8000 Wi-Fi. Functioning good, no batteries, no homeowner concerns.
Replace indoor air coil, filter dryer, 144 oz new R410A, oil dye with leak stop, 80uf compressor capacitor, repressurize ground loops ***The job is incomplete The system compressor is not running yet*** After replacement of the blown out air coil and recharging of 144 oz of new R410A the true cause of the original problem is without a doubt a thermostatic expansion valve failure in the 100% closed position causing the head pressure side to reach maximum pressure and blow out the weak points in the coil. Suction pressure is dropping below 60 and cycling on low pressure The air coil replacement is complete however the system now needs a replacement thermostatic expansion valve. And repressurized ground loops after the system is running The system is on, fan mode and emergency heat mode should work normal The CXM is locking out on service code 5 low pressure and freeze protection Seth will prepare repair estimate ASAP

14yo Carrier / United technologies geothermal R410A puron two stage 5 ton system is locked out on low pressure switch due to a complete loss of all refrigerant in the system. Pressure is at zero upon arrival. Nitrogen pressure test at 480 PSI discovered a rotten away indoor air coil. Die staining is visible in multiple areas but the nitrogen pressure test has discovered non-reparable leaks within the cooling fins of the coil. System needs the indoor air coil replaced, liquid line filter dryer, 144 oz new R410A, oil dye conditioner, 80uf capacitor, ground loop repressurize Seth will contact local distributor regarding repair parts and prepare estimate as soon as possible.
Full system inspection. 2022 Waterfurnace 7 series 4 ton equipment is not heating the house Initial walkthrough discovered a intellizone2 3 zone system controlling the 7 series equipment. Six dampers divided between basement zone 3 set at 45%, second floor zone 2 also 45%, first floor zone 1 set to 70%, 2 each zone All set to "comfort mode" with "normal" staging Heating run test discovered several critical issues affecting the operation. -Post winter season should be the highest pressures of the ground loop between 50 and 75 PSI however the horizontal two pump system is barely reading the minimum functioning pressure of 15 PSI -The ground loop inbound water temperature thermistor has randomly fluctuating temperatures between 45 and 21° f. After inspection of the thermistor at the ground loop water line the thermistor failed completely. -suction line thermistor is malfunctioning by reading 10 to 15° higher than the actual temperature. 96psi suction is reading 45°f but should be 31 or
