Clayton NC Heating & Air Conditioning Services

Tech performed ESA, Tech recommended updating thermostat due to age and thermostat being difficult to operate due to buttons sticking or not registering. tech found no other issues with system at todays visit. Compressor is testing good and no leaks have been detected. System is back on and operating properly at this time. Customer renewed service agreement.

-Performed CMA Filter Change on 2 dehumidifiers and 2 rooftop package heat pumps. Performed minor repair on damaged drain line. Primed rooftop drain line traps as appropriate.

-Performed CMA Filter Change at 4 air handler locations.

Tech installed hard start kit with 1-2 ton connectors and found start amps now down to 31. This will prevent overheating on startup.

Tech found contactor pulled in but compressor and fan not running. Tech found 250 v at line side but 0 v at load due to bugs in contactor. Tech replaced contactor and checked other components. System in now operating properly. Customer agreed to premium maintenance agreement.

Performed ESA, tech recommended hard start kit to improve the life of the system. Evaporator coil has signs of rust but found no leaks also ohm’d out compressor and windings are within spec. Tech highly recommends installing a hard start kit. Homeowners stated they will discuss about it together.

Coil replacement 6-7k due to age and condition of system repairs are not recommended. Customer needs to talk it over with wife

Tech performed esa, unit working properly

DELIVERED (2) 12x24 FILTERS.

Tech performed esa, unit is working properly

FOUND SYSTEM ALMOST VOID OF REFRIGERANT. LOCATED LARGE LEAK AT BOTTOM OF HEAVILY RUSTED EVAPORATOR COILS. COMPRESSOR WINDINGS WITHIN CAUTION RANGE. INSTALLED WITH HOME IN 2012 ACCORDING TO MR. NANCE. COSTLY REPAIRS NOT RECOMMENDED DUE TO AGE/OVERALL CONDITION. HANDED OVER TO FIELD SUPERVISOR.

Tech performed esa, replaced capacitor with turbo after customer approval

Performed routine maintenance on 2 systems per energy savings agreement. Upstairs - while servicing air handler, technician discovered a leak in the evaporator coil. Office notified and field supervisor dispatched. After discussing with the customer, the field supervisor notified technician that they would like to monitor this challenge going forward and are not ready to move forward with any repairs or replacements of this system. Downstairs - technician did not find any challenges while servicing this system. The unit is cooling properly and holding a delta t of 20 degrees. Filters - customer changes own filters, none used for this job.

Customer does not use upstairs portion of home. He wants us to monitor system during each tune up and he will call us to add refrigerant and leak freeze once the system stops cooling.

Emailed proposal to customer, he is going to talk everything over with his wife.

Tech replaced compressor and filter drier, pressure tested, pulled a vacuum, recharged system and found system running properly in ac and heat modes.

Upon arrival tech found system not running in either zone due to tripped float switch at furnace. Tech cleared drain line after approval. System is back up and running. Collected $213.77 by card. Recommended investing in service agreement.

Performed ESA, tech found leak inside evaporator coil and compressor in the red. Field supervisor is scheduled to come out tomorrow morning around 8-10am.

Upon arrival customer stated she didn’t realize system was still in heat mode when call was made for system not keeping up in cool mode. Tech checked over system to assure no issues, system is heating properly. Tech put system in cool mode and checked delta t. Delta t is within spec at this time but outdoor temp is only 53 degrees. Tech recommended to have us come back out when weather warms up to accurately check pressures and system operation under a heat load. Collected $87.00 plus tax per house call fee.

Tech found compressor not noisy at this time and recorded several start and stops. Tech recorded normal pressures, superheat and subcooling and normal heat pressures. Tech recorded proper voltage and amp draw. Tech did find high start amps at 61 LRA is 62.9. Tech recommended a hard start to lower start amps.

Performed routine maintenance on 2 systems per energy savings agreement. Upstairs - upon arriving to the outdoor unit, the tech discovered the condenser fan was not running but the compressor was. After an inspection of the electrical compartment, the technician discovered there were 2 dual run capacitors in the space. One was running the compressor and one was running the fan. The one running the fan was dead. Tech moved fan wiring to the other capacitor and the fan started working along with the compressor. Additionally, when power is turned off the the unit, the compressor continues to make a knocking noise (video provided). Megohm test revealed the compressor to be within spec. What appears to be oil is around the base of the compressor (picture provided). Office notified and demand tech will be scheduled to get another set of eyes on this system. Downstairs - tech found no challenges while servicing this system today. System is cooling properly and holding a delta t of 20 degre
