Palm Springs, CA

Installing 3 ton American Standard Silver 14 heat pump with Coleman air handler.

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

Condenser fan motor failed. Replaced fan motor and was able to get equipment working. Existing equipment is 2007 in very poor condition with multiple additional potential problems. Will schedule to install new equipment.

Performed annual preventive maintenance on the 2020 American Standard 4-ton straight-cool system. • Replaced the 20” x 30” air filter. • Checked thermostat operation and verified the cooling range; no low voltage thermostat issues were found. • Inspected system operation and refrigerant levels. • Checked compressor amperage and startup operation. • Inspected condenser fan motor operation and amperage. • Tested the dual-run capacitor and verified the rated range of 45/7.5 µF. • Cleaned and organized electrical wiring and connections. • Thoroughly washed and cleaned the condenser coil. • Cleared the condensate drain to ensure proper drainage. • Performed a complete operational check. System is operating properly at the completion of service.

Inspected mini split Condensation leak. Apon inspection diagnosed that air handler was sloping to the left causing all the water to accumulate on the left side of pan causing it to over flow. Switch drain hose from right side to left side

Installed 18' damper as well as return cut in 10x24 in room behind unit .customer is happy with airflow

Adjusted landscape lighting estimate.

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 condenser and dropped off paint color

Spoke with client on the phone informed him that Howard does not have part in stock and that they reached out to American standard for the necessary part needed. Will keep client updated and informed on what’s going on.

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

This call was a cooling maintenance. Upon arrival, client stated that system was blowing hot air and ambient temperature indoors was 90°. Diagnostics revealed a capacitor that had failed (puffy). Client was not interested in repair and wanted quotes for system replacement. Estimates will be sent today and replacement will require a crane. Current system is 3.5 tons heat pump. Client enrolled in club membership.

Arrived to finish work from previous estimate and help customer with new plug in smart devices.

Called two times no answer. Will try again later.

Spoke with h/o City passed roof unit except breaker and label panel 900.00 to relocation unit to the center.

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

Gave customer phone call regarding last visit to send info for insurance claim.

Demand call upon arrival client stated warm air being blown out. Client stated there was a power outage 11 days ago after that FAU was on but outdoor was not. Check system sequence of operation. Checked fuses and disconnect box. Check 24 V on contactor. Checked incoming power to contactor tested zero. Checked panel saw 30 amp breaker was tripped. Took compressor off capacitor and contactor Flipped the breaker back on outdoor fan motor ran. Wired compressor back to contactor and capacitor turn on power breaker tripped again. Compressor grounded, no longer good due to power outage. spoke with client on warranty compressor will need a follow up. Recommended client Eaton breaker style surge protector for home. Client agreed and signed estimate. Installed Eaton surge protector verify green light is on. Will get back with client about compressor.

Client informed me that system is draining properly . I informed client that we will still be sending a two-man squad back out to properly reattach drain. Will get with office to schedule us to come back out.

Performed a cooling maintenance on a split heat pump. Outdoor unit is located on the roof. Indoor air handler is located behind the air filter (stepstool needed). Replaced filter. Checked refrigerant circuit diagnostic, duel run capacitor and electric motors. Thermostat/disconnect box: good. Client renew club membership. System is cooling the home at the time of maintenance.

Arrived to install an ultra surge protector to main panel. Attached surge to bottom of panel and connected to 50 amp breaker.

Upon arrival system, barely dripping Down on wall . Was only able to secure area. It was dripping at this time, inform client that if it continues not to drain properly to turn system off. Already informed supervisor on call and will need to return as soon as possible with another technician so we can properly rerun drain line. also need to bring UV wrap. When we return to wrap up line set on outdoors.

Arrived to provide an estimate to install landscape lights. Smart IQ panel with 2 well lights, 2 flood lights, 1 nano flood light and 4 spot lights color changing.

Cleared drain line and tested operation.. equipment is working properly at this time.

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.
