Austin, TX

Today I arrived in Austin and met with the homeowner. I completed the homes heating evaluation of the HVAC system. I verified system is performing well, and is safe for heating operational in both heat pump heating, and electric/emergency heating. System is very well kept, I checked the filter while in attic and it’s not ready to be changed at this time customer does keep extra filters in attic as well. While in attic I flushed the water removal system and outside I washed the unit using water. Upon departure I left the system in cooling mode set to 74 currently 75 indoors.

Today I met with the homeowner off 3rd street downtown Austin. I evaluated system for performance and safety, system is performing very well and is safe at this time. While completing evaluation I flushed the water removal system and treated it, I washed outdoor unit using water and cleaned dust and cob webs out of the electrical panel. I recommended to John having an ultraviolet light system installed inside unit to prevent bacterial growth, and to have the iFlo Automatic Drain solution dispenser installed as this home has had issues with drain clogs in the past.

Today I arrived in Austin and made entrance into unit number 121 building D. I spoke with the homeowner via phone call once I had completed my inspection. I found that the main comfort control system had failed to communicate with the system. I inspected the inside of the control and found the board had corrosion on the PCB, the shell of the control had obvious paint marks on it, the casing also had dry wall dust all inside of it, it’s obvious that the remodeling contractor removed thermostat from the wall, I believe it may have been contaminated to cause corrosion at that time but cannot say indefinitely. With approval I installed a new EcoBee Pro by carrier, set system up for dehumidify, set schedule to 78 cooling. Upon departure system is set to 78 in cooling, currently cooling and the inside temperature is 82.

Today I met with the homeowners in Austin and evaluated their hvac system. I performed safety and performance evaluation, testing both indoor and outdoor systems. C/s indoor thermostat alarmed on 9/22/24 alarm 72 and 74. The home had experienced a surge at approx 16:54 and lasted 9 seconds before power restored. After customer reset breakers it’s been working. I found the outdoor voltage distribution system is charred and audible when engaged, the starting power is greater than the manufacturer’s maximum rating of 58.3 consuming 66.9amps. I washed outdoor system using water, treated panel using electrical insecticide, and flushed indoor water removal system. Please email estimates to customer as he would like to look over them, he’s not in a rush to make a decision as he currently has a few things going on.

Today I arrived onsite and met with John Armstrong, I verified John’s concern, the HVAC unit up in the attic had a clogged drain line.

Upon departure system is now cooling, currently set to 71 and reading 91 inside the home.

Today I arrived in Austin and met with the homeowner, she showed me the home and how to access each of the unit for my evaluation today. Customer has no major concerns at this time, customer provided me with a new air filter for the upstairs attic unit. I changed the upstairs attic unit filter 20x25x4, I also monitored the power and performance of the unit, while doing so I flushed and treated the drain, I also noticed the heat exchanger upstairs is rusty and leaking oil refrigerant. Downstairs I treated the drain and flushed as well, I also inspected performance and power usage. On the outdoor units starting off with the upstairs unit, this unit is low on refrigerant based upon the pressures and the upstairs heat exchangers condition confirms that, the power consumption of the unit is okay at this time. When inspecting the downstairs outdoor unit I found that the pressure were good, power consumption.

WO-TNFR359123 upon my arrival in Bastrop I performed a diagnostic on system, found that system had no error code and pressures looked good continued to look into system and found that it had a very dirty filter in the return air system, took filter out this will definitely help system move more air into the space, helping it cool better.

Today I arrived in Austin for an evaluation, washed outdoor system, evaluated performed and safety of the system and flushed the water removal system inside. Customer wants to turn the outdoor patio into a conditioned space. She originally wanted to do so by additional ducting, however given the current sizing of the system in combination with the age it’s not recommended to add ducting, it’s better to consider upgrading the current system adding additional ducting at that time so the new system would be equipped to handle that work load, ceiling is 9ft approximately 500sq ft with the exterior being 9ft tall single pane glass panels radiating heat load. Customer would like to receive options of cleaning system, Reme halo with cleanings, and she wants 2 different bids from Daryl for upgrading the system with additional duct, and a quote to add a carrier cassette system for the new conditioned space.
