Tech was out today for upstairs level having a weird smell. Performed 2 inspections. Upstairs level system was installed by a home warranty company. New 2025 carrier. While checking system tech seen the following. Return plenum was not sealed . This is pulling in hot attic air into return Plenum. There is no filter rack in Plenum, not even a filter. Supply Plenum is not sealed this needs to be mastic, sealed to keep it air tight. Reason for dirty sock smell in system is due to Plenum’s are not sealed correctly. Also, there is bacteria growing on the evaporator coil. A UV light needs to be installed to kill the bacteria. Tech recommends duct cleaning to also eliminate smell and have better air quality. Please note that adding a new return plenum is not going to get rid of the smell. You will still need to get the ducts cleaned and add a Uv light to kill the bacteria that is growing on the evaporator coil. There is no safety switches on the evaporator coil. Drain line needs to be clear

Tech was out for no cooling. Found system not coming on. Checked voltage found light switch to furnace bad. Checked and found light switch broken with wire detached. Hooked wire back up for testing. Checked system found capacitor failing. Please note that with the capacitor failing it is causing the blower to overwork , over heat and over amp. This will also cause premature failure to the blower. No safety switch on evaporator coil. On condenser low voltage was bear at any time the wire will touch will cause a fuse to blow. Contactor is pitted and making loud noise. Spoke with customer about repairs that needed to be done. Customer stated that they will change out the light switch as well as capacitor. Customer declined other repairs expected for contactor and low voltage wire. Tech made repairs checked work before leaving. At this time system is operating.

Today I replaced a total of 10 devices. There were five outlets, three single pole switches and two three-way switches. Three of the switches are located on your right hand side before you enter the living room from the hallway in a three gang switch box. The other two switches are located by the back door. The outlets are located as follows; one down to your right in the hallway on the main level, one under the window on the back wall, one on each side of the TV on the left hand wall and one down to your left as you enter the living room from the hallway. The diagnosis on circuit number 11 was waived due to more work being performed. Note: The outlets were replaced due to the stab in the back method of installation. Which can easily trip a dual function breaker. TE certified is not responsible for existing wiring in the home tripping the new dual function breakers?

Today we came out for high energy bills. Evaluated complete 4 ton rheem 2012 with matching furnace. Found completely impacted condenser coil, weak duel capacitor, system low on refrigerant due to leaking evaporator coil. In addition found flue piping not up to current code and minimal flood protection. Compressor is over amping and could fail at anytime and there is no warranty on refrigerant and it could leak out at anytime.

Upon arrival the homeowner showed us to the crawlspace where Atlanta gas light had located a gas leak at a union on the 1/2” gas branch. We turned on the gas to the home in order to test and confirm the leak. With the home owners approval we removed 2 sections of pipe and installed a new section of 1/2” black iron and union. After installing the new pipe and fittings we tested to confirm proper function and relit the water heater. No further issues detected at this time.

Main level not cooling due to a bad dual capacitor. Replaced capacitor, and system works. Checked entire system, cleared drain line and filter is clean (customer just replaced). No other issue with the system. System is well maintained, heating and cooling properly. Recommend to sign up for home care maintenance. Most of this kind of issues can be caught on home care inspection visits.

I was called out to Bob’s house to replace the thermostat. Once I began replacing the thermostat I saw that the flue pipe was badly corroded and had visible holes making it unsafe to use. I replaced the flue pipe with b vent to get the system safely working. Bob mentioned he wanted a bath fan as well but we will need to get electrical out to install the fan and the appropriate electrical to go with it and then I would finish the install by installing the vent piping.

No cooling on upstairs system. Checked system seen no safety switch on drain line , drain would need to be cleared to verify proper drainage , drain pan has a safe guard float switch but only will detect water once drain pan is full then it will shut system checked outdoor is low on Freon. Also while checking outdoor unit tech noticed compressor amps are extremely high . Capacitor is failing. Contactor is pitted , condenser is needing a chemical cleaning. Checked for leak found leak in the Evaporator coil . Spoke with customer about repairs that needed to be made. Customer declined repairs and wants a quote on partial system, We will credit back 98$ towards system. Based on our findings today, it might be time to think about getting a brand new system.

Make all repairs necessary to restore the unit to full health and eliminate all other concerns. Installed 8” return to the upstairs room. System is working properly. It should move the air better in the room and make it more comfortable.
