Returned to complete previously recommended condensate drainage repairs. During the previous service visit, the equipment’s condensate drain was found connected into multiple existing rooftop condensate lines. The shared drain configuration was creating improper drainage conditions and allowing condensate to encounter resistance and flow/back up toward the equipment. A temporary repair was performed during the previous visit, and installation of a dedicated condensate drain was recommended. Upon today’s return visit, inspected the existing condensate drain configuration and determined the best available route for a dedicated drain from the equipment to the existing exterior termination. Due to corrosion present at the equipment drain connection, the existing P-trap was left in place to prevent unnecessary disturbance or possible damage to the evaporator drain pan connection. Accessed the evaporator compartment and thoroughly cleared the existing P-trap to verify that it was free of res

Upon arrival, inspected Coleman HVAC system, Serial #W1A2515184, for a no-cooling condition. During diagnostics, found the recently replaced 80/7.5 MFD dual run capacitor had failed and was testing outside manufacturer specifications. Capacitor was replaced under the applicable 2-year parts warranty at no charge to the member. After replacing the capacitor, attempted system operation and found the compressor was still having difficulty starting/turning over. Installed a compressor saver/hard-start kit to assist compressor startup. Following installation, cycled and tested equipment and verified compressor and condenser fan motor were starting and operating properly. Verified cooling performance at supply registers with temperatures ranging approximately 61°F–64°F. System was allowed to operate and monitored to confirm proper operation. At completion, equipment was cooling and operating properly. Member was informed that the capacitor replacement was covered under the 2-year warranty an

Removed faulty compressor and installed new replacement compressor. All refrigerant connections were properly brazed and secured. Following installation, refrigeration circuit was pressurized with nitrogen to approximately 500 PSI to verify system integrity and check for leaks. Pressure test was completed successfully with no leaks detected. Nitrogen was released and system was evacuated to 500 microns to remove moisture and non-condensables from the refrigeration circuit. Once proper vacuum was achieved, system was placed back into operation and refrigerant charge was adjusted and verified according to manufacturer specifications. Manufacturer design calls for approximately 10°F subcooling, and refrigerant operation was verified near design conditions. Verified cooling operation throughout the home. Supply-air temperature was approximately 64–65°F. Indoor temperature was approximately 87°F during initial operation and had decreased to 84°F prior to departure, confirming the system w

Upon arrival, inspected equipment and found condensate drainage was not flowing properly. Further inspection found the unit’s condensate drain is tied into multiple other condensate lines on the rooftop. Existing drain configuration does not maintain proper continuous downstream pitch, causing condensate to encounter resistance and flow upstream/back up toward the equipment. Disconnected the affected condensate line in order to properly clear the drainage system. Cleared the condensate line and used a vacuum tool to thoroughly clear and verify the P-trap was free of restrictions. Verified water was able to drain properly following service and reattached the existing condensate piping. Informed members that today’s service should be considered a temporary repair, as the existing shared condensate configuration can allow the drainage issue to reoccur. Recommended installing a dedicated condensate drain line from the equipment to an appropriate termination outlet, maintaining proper conti

Performed a cooling maintenance on two Bryant straight coolers. Washed outdoor units, cleared condensate and replaced filters within blower compartments. Checked duel run/starting capacitors and electric motors. According to refrigerant temperature and pressure, unit #6097 is low on refrigerant. Estimate sent to recharge – may take anywhere from 1 to 3 pounds. Price quoted is price per pound*** Attempted to close with clients to report my findings, but laundry door was locked and I knocked twice. Both systems are cooling the home at the time of maintenance.
