Multiple error codes with metering device as possible issue (184.01, 184.02) and refrigerant numbers indicate starving evaporator coil but not airflow or low charge. Checked sensors and all in tact, connections all good. Checked ohms for gas temperature sensor and evaporator temperature sensor and both were at proper readings. Checked stepper motor (FIG 2) and all windings properly read around 48ohms. After checking all stepper motor and sensors, closed up fau and rechecked refrigerant numbers and they were good. After opening fau again to check EVC and sensor locations then closing up and low side was dropping again. Intermittent issue with stepper motor. Will order part from Distributor when they open Monday (8/31).

Upon arrival, found the 5-ton system not operating. Client has a Nest thermostat. Found the contactor pushed in. Checked for high voltage and found no voltage at the condenser. Further inspection found a burnt high-voltage wire. Repaired the burnt section by replacing the damaged high-voltage wire with new wiring. Cycled the system and verified proper operation. System is now operating properly and cooling at the time of service. Recommended upgrading the Nest thermostat to an Ecobee due to intermittent issues with the existing Nest thermostat. Also recommended installing a hard-start kit to assist with compressor startup.

Emailed replacement options.

Replace ecm on condensing unit and wired electrical properly. Tested system operation. Check Freon and pressure. Indoor home tempature 91 degrees spoke with client that home will take a few hours to properly cool down. System is operating and cooling home.

Arrived at customer, location, found a drop neutral opened up all receptacles in the kitchen, and on the second circuit that was tied to the same neutral finally found where it had pulled out of a backstabbed outlet.

Upon arrival, the homeowner stated that the master bedroom was hot. She advised that the thermostat was set to 72°F, but the room temperature would unexpectedly increase to 79°F. I inspected the thermostat and found that there was no schedule programmed; however, Eco Mode was enabled. I disabled Eco Mode and adjusted the supply register to improve airflow into the room. I also advised the homeowner that the master bedroom receives significant afternoon heat gain due to the sliding glass door. I proceeded to inspect the package unit and confirmed that the system was engaging properly in both 1 & 2 stage. I placed a thermometer probe in the supply register and measured approximately 59°F. The unit is operating properly at this time. I recommended replacing the thermostat.

Wants to add 40 amp car charger going to send Fred to quote

Replaced weld-in txv on rooftop package unit. Part warranty for txv, refrigerant and labor charge only. Getting 22° split and refrigerant numbers are good. Informed tenant to give it some time but will definitely be cooling down to thermostat setpoint (78°) now.

Estimate to replace existing large garage cooler with a AS Mitsubishi ductless for garage. Recommended DCS for cooler replacement.

No unusual noise at this time. Verified equipment is operational though advise is in very poor condition. Contacted home owner and advised to turn unit off for now do to not home to prevent concerns of potential damage. Recommend equipment replacement to prevent multiple potential problems. Client requested estimate for replacement. Emailed 3 equipment options also attached equipment options below. 0% financing for 18 months is available.

Bedroom unit S#3597 blower and compressor are running but condenser fan motor was not. Verified motor is getting supplied proper 240v and at board verified proper 24 volts DC. Board is communicating properly and fan motor is getting supplied proper voltage, condenser fan motor has failed. Will call Lennox and order new condenser fan motor and will give client ETA when motor can be picked up as well a give quote to replace motor. Will schedule return once part is in hand.

Returned for repeat condensate drainage concern. On the previous visit, a Jones valve was installed and the primary condensate line was cleared. Upon return, found the primary drain beginning to back up again, causing water to discharge through the secondary drain. Further inspection found water also escaping from the rear portion of the safety/drain pan area. Existing equipment installation and elevation are contributing to improper drainage and water management. Due to the original installation configuration and equipment height, the current setup does not provide proper containment/drainage in the affected area. Primary condensate line was cleared again and drainage was restored. System was monitored and condensate flow was verified. Member was advised that although the drain can be cleared and maintained, the existing installation configuration remains a contributing factor and will require a more permanent correction to prevent recurring water issues.

What I would appreciate from Hyde HVAC is your professional opinion on: 1 whether the current A/C is actually cooling within an acceptable range, • the measured supply/return temperature differential, 2 whether refrigerant pressures or compressor performance indicate a mechanical problem, 3 whether the condenser being out of level is materially affecting operation, 4 whether the return-air plenum simply needs cleaning or requires repair, 5 whether the condensate-drain configuration should be corrected, 6 and most importantly, whether any of these findings justify replacement versus normal service and repair. Visual Inspection 2013 goodman Condenser R22 with Rudd 2015 furnace and evaporator coil Homeowner advised ac maintains temperature, however Hyde's cannot answer question 1 or 2 without demand service from our team to check freon levels and temperature split. #3 the condenser not level has no effect on performance whatsoever. 4 the return plenum was not inspected (remove return gr

Client stated no water dripping out of condensation line for garage ductless unit in a while but recently started to drain. Vacuumed condensation line and water drained out. Removed head cover and inspected interior termination/pan and found no obstructions, cleared with co2 and poured water down into pan. Client watched and stated water drained out with no issues. Ductless unit is slopped correctly. System is cooling and draining properly at this time of service.

Upon arrival, client stated that the AC system was not operating, although the blower motor was running. Diagnosed the system and found a bad, swollen 80 µF capacitor, along with a faulty hard-start kit. Replaced both components. The system was still not operating properly, so I checked the high-voltage power and found approximately 59V at the unit. Checked the breaker and confirmed the same voltage reading. With assistance from Amador, replaced the 45-amp Square D breaker. Found square D breaker had arch will send estimate for panel tune up. After repairs, cycled the system and confirmed proper operation. Followed the sequence of operations, checked compressor amperage, and cleared the condensate line to ensure proper drainage. Changed out 20x25 filter. Washed down condenser coils. Renewed client for comfort plan. System is operating properly at this time of service.

Called client no answer called Lennox to order compressor prices went up sent new estimate if client wants compressor for the price of the compressor. Recommend at least a partial system sent estimates for replacement and compressor as well.

Left message we are issuing refund of emergency Sunday call.

I will get with office to reschedule with homeowner after confirming eta for getting handheld remote. Job paused. Notes. 🧊🧊 Semi annual cooling service on two carrier rooftop package units Replaced customer supplied filter filters 24 x 24 Cycle equipment followed, cooling sequence of operation Check capacitor, fan motor, compressor, amps and voltage Cleared condensation line Checked refrigerant/temperature split Secured and clean electrical connections at condenser and fuse box Thermostat checked out OK Rinse both condenser coils Replaced bedroom thermostat Honeywell 8000 with handheld remote ✅✅ Both units checked out operational and within limits 📆 Booked winter maintenance

Separated all wires at thermostat by kitchen and fau in backyard closet by new condenser. Wasn’t getting any continuity. Did use spare brown wire instead of red wire as it was losing its sheathing. After all that I applied power and as soon as thermostat cover was on it popped. Bad thermostat front, as I used test Honeywell 6000 (discontinued) and system came onl same backplate. No more popping of fuse. Checked charge and it is to specs. Could not get through on phone. Closed up garage and doors, fsu closet. Attached are thermostat quotes.
