Upon arrival client stated she checked nest app and system is set to 90 but reading 99 in home. Found both systems not cooling. Found both systems not cooling due to nest thermostats have intermittent issue were the thermostat says it’s calling for cooling however only the blower runs due to thermostat not sending a y1 signal to system. Turned system off and on and system started to cool. Checked both systems capacitor and found both capacitor well outside their range and very hot. Called client to go over the multiple issues. Replaced both capacitors and tested. Client would like to address thermostat issues when they return. Advised to monitor systems and if system is above desired temperature to turn system off and on.

Upon arrival, system was not cooling. Verified 24 VAC present between R and C at the thermostat. Verified thermostat had proper low-voltage power. Checked for cooling signal and found no 24 VAC being sent to the condensing unit during a call for cooling. Removed and reterminated thermostat wiring to eliminate the possibility of a loose connection and retested with the same results. Bypassed the thermostat to simulate a cooling call, and the indoor and outdoor equipment energized and operated normally, confirming the remainder of the low-voltage control circuit was functional. Based on testing, diagnosed thermostat as failed and recommended replacement. Customer approved thermostat replacement. Installed and tested new Honeywell focus pro P200. System is now cooling and operating properly.
