Today as we arrived, Mrs. Hotzfeld explained to us that the GFCI outlet controlling power to her HVAC pump has tripped multiple times this week. The GFCI looks to be as old as the home is which was built in 2010. We replaced the existing GFCI outlet and it worked properly once we were finished. It was very nice to meet you today Mrs. Hotzfeld! If we can ever help you with anything else, please feel free to give me a call anytime. Thank you, Brandon

Customer has 20 y/o Carrier system that operates for whole house. System is not cooling properly due to loss of efficiency. Numerous major components are failing. Evaporator coil is rusted. Compressor reading high amperage. Informed customer of all findings. Based on our findings today, it might be time to think about getting a brand new system.

For this job, we worked on installing a subpanel in the detached garage along with running new circuits for outlets and lighting across the three floors. installed customer provided light fixtures as well. Will return one day, possibly two days next week to dig and run the new 100 amp circuit from the home to the garage to energize it.

For this job, I worked on troubleshooting while the GFCI that was protecting the refrigerator kept tripping. I tested voltage on the outlets and checked the connections and tested voltage while the refrigerator was running. The voltage was fine and there were no imbalances of power. Recommend to call an appliance company to see if the refrigerator is going bad

Perform one system no cool. Homeowner states system hasn’t cooled in two weeks. Upon arrival found the condenser to be making noise, but the fan not to be spinning and the top of the condenser extremely hot. Found the capacitor to be reading zero on the fan side and 13 on the compressor side. Explain to the homeowner. We would need to replace the capacitor to see if there are additional issues. I replaced the capacitor. The condenser fan motor still did not turn on. Bad capacitor plus condenser fan motor. Started getting into pricing for repairs with the homeowner explained that I will check the inside unit to see if there are any additional issues. The furnace is from the 70s to 80s. The door for the furnace had fell off. The attic air became the return air. What happened is the AC was running nonstop. Thermostat was never able to achieve the desired temperature. Compressor and fan motor ran nonstop until they both failed completely. It appears whoever installed the condenser from 201
