St. Petersburg, FL

Client states system cool below 78 or 79 at the thermostat. Upon my inspection, found system cooling with a 21° temperature split. Inspected evaporator coils, checked amp draws on the fan motor and compressor. Checked refrigerant pressures and found system 1lb low on refrigerant 410a. Air handler had a debris impacted air filter. Replaced air filter and allowed for system to cool more efficiently. Added 1lb of refrigerant to bring system back to factory spec. System is cooling at this time. Client said that they just had some work done on the addition today and another company that is subcontracted by the builder modified some duct work. System is a 3 ton with original 1500 sqft. The addition is about 400 sqft and the contractor told them that they do not need to increase their hvac system size.

Upon arrival, I checked the temperature split on the main system and recorded a 16° temperature difference. I then inspected the electrical components and found the compressor to be operating, although it is showing signs of age and is nearing the end of its expected lifespan. Overall, the electrical system is functioning properly with no shorts or burnouts present at this time. On the second system, I found that one of the capacitors is weak and should be replaced soon. The system is currently operating, but the capacitor is beginning to fail and may cause future issues if left unattended. I performed a drain line treatment, condenser cleaning, and full air handler inspection. Due to the age of the system being approximately 17 years old, there are multiple underlying concerns present. At this time, I do not recommend making major adjustments or repairs to the equipment, as doing so could lead to additional failures because of the system’s condition and age. If you have any questio

On arrival found unit off. Turned unit on and found capacitor was dead. Replaced part. Start and test. Explained to client that possible compressor issues since he recently replaced contactor. Unit cooling with 20* split.

Client is buying home and has us out to diagnose mini split system for a no cool. Upon my inspection, turned system on and everything started up. Checked system pressures and found system low on refrigerant. The next step is to perform a leak search on the entire system to determine where the refrigerant is leaking. After this finding, we can provide a quote for the repair. This repair could cost around $1000-$1500 plus or minus as a rough estimate. System is not cooling at this time. No repairs made at this time. Sending a quote for a leak search on the system.

Upon arrival, I checked the temperature differential between the supply and return air on both systems and recorded an 18° split on each system, which is within the normal operating range. I then inspected the electrical components on both systems and found all wiring and connections to be secure and functioning properly, with no signs of shorts, burnouts, or electrical concerns. Both compressors were operating within normal amperage range. However, both condenser fan motors were pulling slightly above their rated amperage at this time. During inspection, I found both condenser coils to be dirty and restricting airflow. I performed a water-based condenser coil cleaning on both systems, which improved condenser airflow and overall operation. I also performed a drain line treatment on both systems to help ensure proper drainage. At the air handlers, I inspected both evaporator coils and found them to be slightly dirty, but both air handlers were operating properly at this time with no

Reason for call: No cool Equipment: 2024 ruud 4 ton Vertical in garage Condenser on raised wall mount Summary: Completed diagnosis to find capacitor failed. Replaced contactor today as well.
