Douglasville, GA Electrician Plumber HVAC Service

Client has us out today because he has a leak around his water heater that’s causing damage, the water heater is a 8 year old Rheem electric water heater. During my inspection I found that the client has high water pressure which has caused the expansion tank to fail and the t&p valve to fail. The t&p is open and is just allowing water to continuously pour out. The t&p is also leaking from the threads which is where the water damage is coming from. I presented options and today we went with replacing the prv, expansion tank and the t&p for the water heater. All work is done and water is back on with no leaks.

Customer called us out for a clog in the washer and dryer hook up. On arrival the upstairs water was draining into the laundry room on the basement. I cleaned up as much water as I could and quoted customer to run a tub gun through the washer drain line to clear it. I was unable to clear the blockage. I attempted to clear it from the clean out located above the washer drain with the k400. The cable kept getting caught in the cast iron and I could not clear the clog. A sewer supervisor came out and I assisted them.

Arrived back on site after picking up the blower motor to replace the failed motor. We began by confirming the correct motor, cutting power to the air handler and carefully removing the old motor. We installed the new motor, being mindful of wire direction and remembering to tighten the set screw and ensuring the wheel was clean and balanced. After we installed it, we began cooling and the new motor on high speed ran at just under 1.5amps, when the previous motor was above 2 amps. We installed a new 10uf capacitor as well. System is fully operational, cooling well with a 20 degree temp split. Payment collected via credit card. Call complete.

Arrived on site to perform a diagnostic for a 2 system home. One system controls upstairs and one controls downstairs. The systems are both Rheem heat pumps from 2012. The upstairs unit wasn’t working sad when client changed his filter he noticed moisture on the filter. I cycled the unit on and when I was checking the outdoor unit I noticed the lineset begin to freeze. This tells me the fan isn’t spinning. Once inside I confirm that and tested the run capacitor for the unit. It was testing at 10 out of 10uf. We cycled the motor and found a ton of bearing resistance and a ton of operational noise indicating bearings are failing. The motor is toast. It runs for 3 minutes then shuts off. Unfortunately the parts houses are closed today but we can call to find the motor first thing Monday morning and will return after we get our hands on the motor. Client also wants pricing on this condensing units fan blade cover. I’ll inquire about both with apex on Monday. System non operational and left
