Madeira Beach, FL

Arrived at the home and began diagnostics to the equipment. Found 40 amp double pole breaker is no good at the sub panel outside by the condenser. One leg has shorted. Contactor and capacitor has salt residue and would need to be replaced. Checked condenser breaker and it is good at this time. Found capacitor and contactor to be corroded by salt water. Found salt water residue on the copper pipes in the condenser. Both parts will need to be replaced. Water level may have began to corrode the compressor terminals. Air handler Found salt water residue on the evaporator pipes and on the coil. Will need to do a complete diagnostics of the equipment due to the unknown of any other affected parts that may have been damaged from the hurricanes. Repairs: 1: replace contactor 2: replace capacitor 3: clean in place evaporator coil. 4: complete diagnostics of the system. 5. Wash down condenser 6: homeowner is fully aware of potential issues in the future o the equipment being submerged

Heavy corrosion & dirt on the condenser fins. Washed condenser coil. UV light still active Checked all amps and voltages. Checked refrigerant charge Clean/flushed drain line. Unit is operating and cooling.

Supply plenum upon arrival, main agree with customer start pumping down unit to take air handler out of closet tear out all ductwork in closet repair return underneath pictures taken of work completed. Paint closet with kills mildew resistant paint let dry, build risers and Plenum offset clean unit. Put unit back in rewire everything seal everything nitrogen test copper line set 400 psi for 30 minutes vacuum down to 500 µm start up check to factory spec 22° split everything is cooling and is complete job done

Customer mentioned after the storm, the thermostat has been a little finicky. It is a Goodman 2008 R22 system. Thermostat is currently working. Customer will hold off on replacing the thermostat. If it happens again, customer said she will replace the thermostat. checked electrical components temperature readings, and refrigerant levels. The unit is cooling well at this time. The indoor unit does have rust. The ductwork is older and has some tears added some tape to a few spots. I would consider investing towards a new system and ductwork. Customer signed up for Total Air membership. Collected today service fee, and membership payment.

Came out here to look at sweating supply vent but upon further inspection, I found that the whole air handler unit had condensation built up all around it on the sides of the air handler all over the supply Plenum running down the return side underneath the air handler. It sits on a piece of plywood that plywood is starting to get wet and running down into the return Plenum. We replaced the duck Work and there’s only one Supply vent condensating, and it’s in the bathroom in the master bedroom it started condensating not even a week ago. Customer said. I opened up the air handler and the air handlers insulation is coming apart. This supply Plenum needs to be replaced. Also, Blair‘s air conditioning installed this unit and when they did they installed the Remi halo UV light. That is also leaking air from where they installed that. The drain line is impacted and I cannot clear it. The AC is set to 72° I had it turned off for five or 10 minutes and it went to 77°. It is very hot upstairs.

Materials added Arrived to install two new turbo capacitors and two Elite Uv Lights in each air handler. Once installed ensured each unit was cooling properly. Attic Ah has a 16° delta Temperature and closet AH has 21°. I replaced both filters for the customer. I did not clear the drain for the mini split due to the rain.

Membership maintenance. 6yr old ICP vertical – garage. A/H- flushed and vacuumed drain line. Tested float switch function. Checked all wiring. Unit has 3 OXY-PURE Air 24v lamps. Last replaced in 2022. Lights are dim and beginning to darken on the inside. I recommend replacement. Blower wheel and coil surface are clean/free of biological growth. Changed customer supplied return filter. Took temperature split at return and supply Plenum. C/U- noticed existing arma flex is dry rotting, and coil is beginning to corrode due to close proximity to the saltwater. Took compressor amp draw. Checked capacitor microfarad reading. Checked refrigerant pressures and temperatures. System is running well at this time. Replaced Armor flex on suction line at condensing unit. Installed corrosion grenade on liquid line at condensing unit.

Called out today to replace the filter drier on the roof. Removed and brazed in new filter drier. Performed a pressure test @450 for 30 minutes. Pulled a vacuumed down to 500 microns. Charged system to proper specifications. Tested equipment. System is cooling properly at this time. Client leaves March 10th for Canada and would like to have his first preventative maintenance performed before then. I will have the office reach out to the client to schedule. Thank you for always choosing Total Air!

Performed maintenance on Bryant heat pump, found system in dehumidification mode was set to low at 40 degrees system will cause more issues then good at those settings because it will never come out of dehumidification mode, set dehumidification to 60% and system running at full potential created a crisper air and atmosphere right away, found transformer for the ultraviolet light is burned out on the high voltage side, found dual capacitor leaking it’s packing grease wax causing overheating, quoted to install new transformer, capacitor and a compressor hard start kit is recommended with the capacitor replacement to help capacitor and help compressor start up, work was approved, replaced capacitor and installed compressor hard start in conjunction, replaced transformer for the ultraviolet light and that’s working now as well, recommend replacing the air filter at your earliest convenience, system is operational at my departure, thank you for using total air as your hvac company.

Removed old rusted out filter dryer that caused the refrigerant to leak out causing outdoor unit to short cycle on and off, dry fitted new biflow filter dryer for a heat pump and ran nitrogen through the system while brazing the new filter dryer in place, pressure tested system with nitrogen at 300psi and let seat for a while to help dry out any moisture, vacuumed system to desired dehydration levels and recharged system with 8 pounds of refrigerant to manufactures specifications tested both sides of the system in cooling and heating modes, condenser motor starts hard but than it gets quiet, could be a potential issue down the road but will address later on when it becomes an issue as I was informed, everything is working properly at my departure, thank you for letting me work on your system and thank you for using total air as your hvac company.

Customer concerned about unit not turning off the blower motor. Checked the thermostat calibration and thermostat settings. I have checked the low voltage wiring and checked the surge protector the unit. The blower motor is confirmed to be running all the time. The blower motor with module is bad and needs to be replaced with oem motor. Checked the condition of the air handler unit and inspected evaporator coil condition. The evaporator coil is completely rusty and soon to fail and leak refrigerant. The unit has no warranty, installed November 2012 Air handler unit has bad rusty evaporator coil in the unit. The much rust on the evaporator coil is highly recommended to have unit replacement due to aged equipment and failure on components. Strongly recommend new unit replacement x2 upstairs and down stairs. Both units are same model and size outside condenser unit. Customer has been asked about new thermostat that is WiFi compatible. I have placed and estimate for new WiFi thermostat

Below is an estimate for a warranty, evaporator core replacement without refrigerant. It also includes refrigerant. I added 19 pounds of refrigerant back into the system. System is on and cooling properly at this time with a 20° temperature differential. In the process I removed the faulty evaporator coil. The system was completely void of refrigerant. I installed the new evaporator coil and placed the system on a vacuum down to under 500 µm. I charged the refrigerant back into the system and let it run and then tested pressures and temperatures.

Below is an estimate for today’s service call and the renewal. System was not cooling. Found condensing unit completely void of refrigerant. Turn the breaker off at condensing units a unit does not try to continue to come on. Opened up air handler and inspected evaporator coil in primary pan and found evidence of oil in the primary pan on the left side. Quoted repair with customer. We are on schedule to return tomorrow to replace the evaporator coil under warranty. The only additional charge will be for refrigerant..

Upon arrival to the scheduled system maintenance, I was shown to the a/h unit in the closet. Immediately pulled off panel doors to inspect all electrical components connections, collect amp draw/voltage readings off electrical equipment, and check the evaporator coil for cleanliness. The a/h unit is not equipped with a UV light system and the evaporator coil is clean, as well as the cabinet and electrical components. All connections are secure and amp draw/voltage readings are within range of factory specifications. The d/t had a temperature difference of 18° and within normal range. I then went outside to the side of the home to verify the system refrigerant charge, the system was 2 pounds low on 410A. inspect all electrical components connections, collect amp draw/voltage readings, and clear the condensate drain line. All electrical components connections are secure and running within range of factory specifications. The outdoor unit is not equipped with a surge protector. I reco

Indoor fan was running and outdoor fan was running but compressor was not running. The capacitor was measuring below. The rating measurement. At the customers request I changed out the capacitor. I recommend it a maintenance plan to the customer as well as I recommend it a programmable thermostat. Customer said he would consider the membership and at this time, he did not wish to have a programmable thermostat

Arrived at customers house for system not working. On arrival. Customer showed me to air handler unit. Fan was running. Went outside to condenser. Fan was running But compressor was not. Tested capacitor and capacitor was bad. Suggested customer change and customer agreed. Change capacitor in unit started up fine. Noticed customer did not have a surge protector. Explain to customer why surge protectors are important for a unit to live its full life expectancy. Checked over unit and unit is producing proper delta. T. Showed work to customer and customer is very happy. Suggested customer sign up with service plan and customer agreed. Collected payment and signature and left. Thank you for choosing total air!

Upon arrival to no cool call, the homeowner had concerns about his system not cooling to the desired temperature. Went outside to the C/U to verify refrigerant. I found the system to be low on R410a refrigerant. Added 2lb R410a refrigerant and cycled the system. System is now running well with proper pressures. Spoke to the homeowner about the system leaking from somewhere. Due to oil in the drain pan I was expecting the leak to be in the evaporator coil. Upon leak search I was unable to find the leak at this time. Will need to return later this afternoon with UV dye to add to the system to help find the refrigerant leak. Should be coming back anytime after 2pm. I left the system operating in the cooling mode, collected payement/signatures for work completed and left. Job complete. Thank you for choosing Total Air!

Called out today due to water leaking from the mini split head. Client said he has yet to have maintenance performed. Gave options for preventative maintenance plans and a once time flush of the system. Flushed mini split drain line and vacuumed clear from outside port. Cleaned filters. Checked all other electronics and motor components. Gave options for blower wheel cleanings and explained the difference between our two UV sterilization lights. We will return to perform maintenance on both units. Equipment is operating properly at this time. Thank you for always choosing Total Air!

Complete condenser fan motor replacement. Complete evaporator coil cleaning. Cycle and inspect equipment. Left system in good working order. Photos are added.

Complete no cool call. After inspection I found multiple issues with the package unit. The refrigeration pressures were low. I added (3) lbs of 410a to get the system cooling. Once I finished charging the system the outdoor fan motor died. We will need to contact the homeowner with pricing and availability for the motor. The evaporator coil is also very dirty restricting airflow to the system. We will need to perform a clean in place on the coil to restore proper airflow. Once the coil is cleaned and the motor is replaced the system will be back in normal working order. I talked to the customer about replacing the system. He denied. All equipment info is entered there is also a picture of the data tag. Follow up Monday! Customer is now a prime maintenance member.

System 2 completely out of refrigerant. Will need to return to perform leak search<br> <br> 12/29/22<br> Unit #2<br> Returned to customers home to perform leak search. Filled system up with nitrogen. I did not here any at the condenser. Went to the coil and heard it hissing. Found the leak in the center. The evap coil need to be replaced. Customer has labor warranty. The customer will be responsible for extra Freon if it takes more then what the condenser hold. 12/30/2022 Wadeh Replace air handler evaporator coil on air handler unit #2. Removed and replaced coil and transfer txv. Clean evaporator drain pan and soldering in place. Checked for leaks on copper line and pump down vacuumed system. Added 13 lb r 410a refrigerant and checked unit operation. Unit is cooling well and drains at this time.

Upon arrival customer showed me and area that was growing microbial growth on the ceiling in the air handler room. I went up in the attic to where it was and I found the duct work not sealed and a couple holes. The duct work needs to be replaced I also recommend installing a pure air x and a EAC 20x30x1 filter Talked to customer about signing up for our membership program and all the benefits they get with it. Customer declined at t(is time. He want to wait to see the cost of the duct work.

This motor is at the customers risk- if motor does not work home owner is still responsible to pay- we are UNABLE TO RETURN THIS MOTOR. This motor is based off a model number the customer provided to me. 11/22/2022 Quoted Repair WADE ONLY- install outdoor motor. Fan motor is working and unit is cooling properly. Customer is happy.

Called out today due to no cooling. Upon arrival system was not cooling properly. Both units were running but not removing heat from the home. Outside I found that the refrigerant pressures were low and some hissing from the Schrader valve. Recharged system with a little over 3 pounds of 410A. Performed a soap bubble test on the evaporator coil and a quick leak search of the condenser with a sniffer. Checked over other electronics and motor components. Client is aware that we took care of her today by recharging the system and searching for the leak. If this happens again we will have to dig deeper with a whole system leak search or dye to pinpoint. Equipment is operating properly at this time. Thank you for always choosing Total Air!

Arrived at customer's house for system inspection. On arrival customer showed me to air handler units in attic. Both air handlers were on. Air handler number 2 had some some water in the Pan but not enough to activate the drain Pan switch. Customer already had a vacuum up there. Customer vacuumed out secondary drain and I suggested customer get a drainsolve treatment. Customer agreed. Capped downstairs drain line and applied drain solve. Allowed drain solve to sit for about 20 minutes. Took off cap and ran about 2 gallons of warm water behind. Vacuumed out again and saw no drain debris. Both units air handler cabinets were dirty. Suggested IAQ again but customer currently has the house on the market. Both air handlers are creating proper Delta T. Next went outside to condensers. Opened electric cabinets and all wires were secured. Both electric cabinets have capacitors within acceptable range, and contactors sending proper voltage. Neither unit is equipped with surge protectors but ag
