HVAC Service Reviews

Completed a full air conditioning maintenance visit. Checked refrigerant charge, cleaned coils, tested capacitor, inspected all wiring, and flushed the drain line. No mechanical issues found. System is running well, but we advised the homeowner to replace their filter more frequently due to visible dust buildup. Recommended quarterly maintenance for better long-term efficiency.

Customer called due to inconsistent cooling. Found the system’s low-pressure switch had tripped. Reset the switch and confirmed no refrigerant loss. Also noted dirty evaporator coil likely contributing to pressure fluctuations. Scheduled coil cleaning to improve system performance and prevent future shutdowns.

Inspected a non-cooling AC system. Diagnosed failed compressor capacitor, which caused the system to hum but not start. Replaced the capacitor with a manufacturer-approved part, verified amperage draw, and confirmed full system operation after startup. Advised homeowner on signs of capacitor failure for future awareness.

Performed routine maintenance on a package unit today. Inspected the fan motor, cleaned coils, checked amp draw, and verified thermostat function. Also flushed the condensate line to avoid backups. Unit is operating at peak performance with no visible signs of wear or damage.

Responded to a complaint about weak airflow. After testing static pressure and checking return ductwork, found a restriction caused by an undersized return vent. Provided a recommendation to upgrade the return to allow better airflow and reduce strain on the blower motor.

Conducted a seasonal check-up on a heat pump system. Verified reversing valve operation, cleaned outdoor unit, confirmed auxiliary heat strips are functioning, and tested for proper defrost cycle. No immediate issues found, but the contactor shows signs of pitting and may need replacement soon.

Customer experiencing excessive indoor humidity. Evaluated AC system and confirmed short cycling due to incorrect thermostat settings. Adjusted settings, reprogrammed cycle delays, and educated the customer on proper dehumidification. Also verified condensate pump operation. Conditions improved significantly by end of visit.

Replaced a faulty blower motor capacitor after homeowner noticed reduced airflow. Verified resistance values and capacitor specs before installing a new part. Post-installation testing showed correct RPM and airflow output. Unit back to proper function with quieter operation as well.

Investigated noise from outdoor condenser. Found loose fan blade causing intermittent rattling. Tightened mounting hardware and balanced the blade assembly. Also cleaned off leaf buildup around the base of the unit. Sound issue resolved and unit now running smoothly.

Conducted full diagnostic after customer reported AC not turning on. Found a tripped breaker caused by a shorted contactor. Replaced the faulty part, reset the breaker, and tested for further electrical issues. System now functioning safely and reliably.

Serviced a ductless mini split system. Cleaned filters, flushed drain lines, and verified inverter board operation. System is in good condition. Recommended the addition of surge protection to protect sensitive electronics during summer storm activity.

Customer reported high energy bills. Load calculation confirmed system size was appropriate. However, found poor insulation around attic ductwork contributing to temperature loss. Provided quote for duct wrap and additional attic sealing. Advised homeowner on small upgrades to improve energy efficiency.

Inspected a two-zone system. Found one damper stuck closed, causing uneven cooling. Manually opened the damper and tested actuator motor, which had failed. Replaced with new actuator, recalibrated zone controller, and verified airflow balance between zones.

Routine check revealed signs of microbial growth in the drain pan. Cleaned with coil-safe disinfectant and installed pan Pure AirX treatment to prevent recurrence. Recommended ongoing IAQ upgrades, including UV light installation and high-efficiency filter system.

Performed seasonal tune-up and efficiency check. Tested start components, cleaned indoor and outdoor coils, lubricated moving parts, and verified split temperatures. System is clean, stable, and within normal operating range. No repairs needed at this time.

Diagnosed system not cooling efficiently. Found clogged filter and dirty return grille restricting airflow. Replaced filter, cleaned grille, and measured airflow before and after. Homeowner noticed immediate improvement in comfort and airflow at supply vents.

Evaluated whole-home comfort concerns during an HVAC system inspection. Verified that the equipment is running efficiently, but identified uneven airflow to certain rooms. Recommended balancing the ductwork and sealing minor leaks to improve comfort and system performance. Shared findings with the homeowner and outlined next steps for improving air distribution.

Cleaned moldy mini split air handler for garage gym. Removed biological buildup from the blower wheel and coil fins using HVAC-safe cleaner. Advised client to maintain regular cleanings and consider installing a UV air purifier to prevent future issues.

Customer noticed water leaking from ceiling. Traced source to clogged secondary drain pan under air handler. Cleared line and checked float switch operation. No damage to ceiling drywall yet—glad they called quickly. Emphasized importance of regular drain cleaning.

Conducted post-install quality check on recently replaced condenser unit. Verified refrigerant pressures, checked voltage at contactor, confirmed proper coil temperature drop, and ensured drain line was sloped and secured correctly. Unit passed all quality control checks.

Evaluated a 10-year-old system with a failed condenser fan motor. Quoted for motor replacement, capacitor, and labor. Also noted UV damage on the insulation wrap and recommended replacement for efficiency. Provided pricing and repair timeline so the homeowner could make an informed decision.

Replaced old metal ductwork with R-8 insulated flex duct in a home with poor airflow distribution. I calculated proper CFM per room and resized several branches to improve balance. All joints were sealed with mastic and tested for leaks. Final pressure readings confirmed airflow improvement and reduced system static pressure.

Customer had complaints of persistent indoor odors and sinus irritation. I conducted an IAQ inspection and installed a Pure AirX UV light in the air handler to target microbial buildup. Additionally, I treated the drain pan with Pure AirX tablets to prevent bacterial slime and blockages. I also inspected the return plenum for leaks and sealed minor gaps to prevent unfiltered air infiltration. IAQ levels should now improve steadily with active UV sanitation.

Performed spring maintenance and discovered the blower motor capacitor was reading below tolerance. Replaced the capacitor with a new 10 µF model rated for the system’s specs. I also cleaned the blower wheel and verified airflow across the evaporator coil. Refrigerant pressures were within range, and the drain line was flushed to ensure clear flow. The system is now operating safely and efficiently for the season.

Repaired a leaking duct plenum with several gaps around collar connections. Used mastic and mesh tape to seal joints and reinsulated the outer surface. Verified airflow improvements at two supply vents using an anemometer. Reduced conditioned air loss significantly in this zone.
