Homeowner stated system blowing warm indoor air but outdoor condenser/unit not running. Found no power, fuses good, fan and compressor capacitors within range. Found 50 amp breaker off but not tripped. Newer breaker, inspected breaker and wiring no damage. Condenser wiring all tight and no damage or burn areas. Reset power and tested system. Compressor amps were fine, fan motor amps ok a little over . Checked temperatures and compressor and fan motor not overheating, motored and nothing shut off in thermal. Refrigerant numbers/pressures were ok, temp split was ok about 17, wet bulb high as they had swamp cooler running as well. 20+ year old Amana r22. Discharge temp was above 225°. Main things were age, compressor is starting to show signs of age and thermal sensitive. Made sure condenser coil was clean, was pretty dirty inbetween fins. Based on findings and age/condition of system and uses r22 which is no longer made and difficult to get and very expensive with price going up and ava

Upon arrival, indoor unit was operational. Only found outdoor unit non-operational.

Found compressor amps over max specifications system calling for 13 was getting 16 at this time inform Client that system is cooling at this time, but it is greatly struggling as compressor is running past the limit.

Today’s first cooling maintenance consisted of one American standard system on the side of home I first replaced all three filters in the home. Honeywell thermostat is properly calling for cooling with no alerts. Condensation line is drained and properly draining. All of the cooling sequence of operations are successfully checking out. Pressures are checking out in the correct range. Blower is checking out. And capacitor is also testing for its rated amount. I thoroughly washed the coils down to remove all debris. Overall system is operating to manufacture specs at this time of service.

I Performed Maintenance on the Cooling System. Also replaced a 23x20 filter. The system is a 2024 American Standard 3.5 ton Heat Pump system located in the hallway and outside on the ground. Verified proper system amperages, as well refrigeration levels. I then verified that run capacitor is testing within proper parameters. I lastly cleaned condenser coils. Client’s current two year labor warranty is set to expire 11-14-26. Sent client two options on extending that labor warranty to align with 10 year part warranty. Extended labor warranty options are attached to today’s receipt for client to consider. At the time of today’s visit the system is performing properly.
