Hampton, GA Electrical Service And Repairs

Today I came out to a no cool call. The customer informed me that two other HVAC companies had recently been out. One company stated the system had a refrigerant leak, while the other simply added refrigerant. Today, I checked the refrigerant pressures and they did not indicate that the system was low on refrigerant or had signs of a refrigerant leak. After further diagnosis, I found that the blower speed taps were not set correctly. I adjusted the blower speed according to the manufacturer’s installation specifications and then tested the system. The system is now cooling properly with no issues. I also informed the customer that the system has a 1.5-ton air handler paired with a 2-ton evaporator coil and a mismatched outdoor condenser. This type of mismatch can reduce system efficiency, lower cooling performance, affect humidity removal, increase energy consumption, and place additional stress on the blower and compressor over time. At this time, however, the system is operating wit

Today we installed a new 50 gallon electric water heater in the garage, replacing the old leaking one

Arrived on site and met with the homeowner, who directed me to the driveway where water was surfacing on both sides, indicating a leak in the underground water service line. The homeowner advised that the water line had previously been repaired approximately one year ago. After evaluating the condition and history of the line, I explained that another spot repair would likely only provide a temporary solution and recommended replacing the entire water service. This would eliminate the section of piping running beneath the driveway, reducing the likelihood of future leaks and preventing additional damage to the driveway. While discussing improvements to the plumbing system, I also recommended installing a whole-home water filtration system to reduce chlorine and chloramine in the incoming water supply. I explained that this would improve overall water quality while helping protect household plumbing fixtures and appliances from the effects of chemically treated municipal water. After r

Called out for toilet upstairs backing up into tub. Two bathrooms are being affected. Running water from sinks and shower cause water to start coming up through tub the tub drain. Also gurgling and bubbling were observed coming from one of the toilet. Pulled the master bath toilet to run sewer machine to clear blockage. Unknown blockage has been cleared and all fixtures in both upstairs bathrooms are clear and flowing. Thank you for choosing TE Certified!

Found that the upstairs bathroom toilet has a damaged fill valve which does not stop the water flow when the float rises all the way up, still filling the tank with water till it reaches the handle and started overflowing from tank onto the floor and downstairs causing lots of water damage. Homeowner turned off water stop valve but water continued leaking out. Stop valve is old and original and didn’t stop water due to the dried/ cracked rubber seat inside. Homeowner has already filled an insurance claim and mitigation has been started. The toilet is old so the homeowner didn’t want me to reconnect the toilet because they are replacing it. Replaced toilet stop valve and left turned off but turned water back on to home. Tested good, no other leaks.

Came out today to complete quoted estimate. On today’s visit added 8 pounds of 410 a refrigerant to the only system in the home. At this time, there is no warranty for repair due to customer Did nothing to repair a leak. At this time, customer is aware that the refrigerant could leak out at any time in the system would be right back in the same spot. System is now back up and running see any estimates for additional information.

Came out today to preform one system hvac no cool service call. Upon arrival customer stated that the unit would come on but no cool air. Customer approved a full system dianostic. During inspection found 2018 carrier straight ac and gas furnace from 2018. At this time there is no 410a refrigerant in the system. That indicates a leak somewhere. During full inspection also found the contactor to be burnt and pitted, the filter dirty, no te standard flood protection, the blower wheel is dirty, the blower capacitor is weak, all zone dampers are opening and shutting properly, duct is in good condition. Due to being totally out of 410a refrigerant and the system being out of warranty I recommend to update system to get a warranty and ensure no further breakdowns of this system. At this time customer only approved diagnostic. See estimates for further concerns and this system is currently not working properly

Performed diagnostic on 10yr old upstairs carrier heat pump, upon arrival customer stated unit wasn’t putting out cold air only hot air, cycled tstat to ac mode, unit started up, went to attic to inspect air handler, upon going in attic noticed both drain lines not properly installed, also both drain lines have bellys, recommend repairing both drain lines, also recommend added wet switch to both units as well, checked filter , checked ok, blower slightly impacted, evap coil clean, noticed unit in heat mode, checked low voltage wiring, getting 0v between c and o,went back and checked at tstat, still 0volts, jumper wires and unit switched to ac mode, explained to customer tstst now working properly, recommended replacing, customer approved, customer also wanted to replace downstairs tstat as well as add three new smoke detectors, and both wet switches, highly recommended updating drain lines but customer chose to hold off, went to pick up parts and return, installed two new tstats, made

Came out to a no cool on a Lennox R410A system. After completing a full diagnostic evaluation, we found that the system is severely low on refrigerant. The indoor evaporator coil and filter are both clean, and the condenser coils are clean as well, helping rule out major airflow restrictions as the primary cause of failure. However, the blower wheel does have light dirt buildup that can slightly reduce airflow and efficiency. During testing, the system showed weak indoor cooling capacity along with extremely high compressor amp draw, indicating the compressor is straining due to the low refrigerant condition. Refrigerant readings were far outside manufacturer specifications, with very high superheat and negative subcooling, confirming that the evaporator coil is starving for refrigerant and operating below freezing temperatures. This condition will cause the evaporator coil to freeze over and can eventually damage the compressor if left operating. The outdoor capacitor tested within

As we arrived today Sherina explain to us that she had front porch lights that were very dim and that she needed an upstairs soothing fan replaced in her master bedroom. After doing a troubleshoot on the front porch lights, we found that the front porch light bulbs were defective. We replaced those and everything worked properly again. We went upstairs in the master bedroom and removed the existing ceiling fan and replaced it with a new customer supplied ceiling fan. Once all connections were made the ceiling fan also worked properly. Sherina also talk to us about installing some ring, floodlight cameras on the front and back of her house. I’ve attached an estimate for those lights to be installed along with the new front porch lights. It was great meeting both of you today! If you have any questions about the estimates or need anything else, please feel free to give me a call anytime. Thank you, Brandon and Nylan

As we arrived today, Jonathan explained to me that he’s outside GFI on the front porch and the receipt were right behind it in the stairway we’re not working. After removing receptacles and switches in all of the adjoining rooms on the same floor, downstairs and upstairs, we cannot find the wire feeding power to these two particular receptacles. We put a toner generator on the wire and found a place in between the box in the stairway and the receptacle outside, but it was covered by sheet rock. We checked all the electrical panels and every wire leaving the electrical panel had power on it. After talking with Jonathan, he decided to run power from the existing switches by the door down to the receptacles. Once that was done, power was restored to both receptacles. I also talked to Jonathan about surge protectors. I’ve attached an estimate for that. It was great meeting you today, Jonathan! If you have a question about the estimates or need anything else, please feel free to give me

Came out to a no cool on a 2021 Carrier R-410A heat pump system. Upon diagnosing the system, I found that the indoor unit had frozen over at the evaporator coil due to a completely restricted air filter, which was causing severe airflow restrictions throughout the system. During the inspection, I also found that the home is undersized on return airflow. The home currently has approximately 1,700 CFM of return air but should have closer to 2,200 CFM based on the square footage and system requirements. In addition, there are no return air vents in the bedrooms. This can lead to comfort issues throughout the home because hot air is not being properly pulled out of those rooms, causing uneven temperatures and reduced system efficiency. The outdoor unit was inspected and found to be operating fairly well at this time. The contactor tested within manufacturer specifications, ohming at 16.1. The capacitor is rated for 70/5 and is currently reading 66.3/4.9, showing signs of weakening and be

Came out today due to the main floor system not cooling. Upon arrival found the system completely froze up. Customer is in the process of purchasing the home and is currently living in the home until Wednesday when she closes. Customer stated that she would like to have somebody come out to quote replacement of the system. Also, customer elected to have a little bit of refrigerant put into the system to get by until she can replace it. Customer is aware that upon replacing the system within 30 days of today the total for today will be reimbursed back off of the cell of a complete system. Install 3 pounds of refrigerant. At this time did not perform a leak search due to. I was previously out here in August under a different owner and added 2 pounds of refrigerant. At this time system is cooling. There is no warranty for repair for today. Customer is aware that this is a Band-Aid temporary fix to get by. This is the only system in the home besides mini split for sunroom.

Troubleshooting

Came out for water leaking out of hvac system. System is 2010 Lennox Heat Pump for downstairs. System has pan switch but no other flood protection. Found system low on charge and has been freezing up and thawing out. Also customer let me know condensate line has a history of drain issues. Currently does not have clean out access or a vent. Also found weak indoor and outdoor capacitors. Main recommendation is to have Install Supervisor come out to discuss new system options due to age and condition of current equipment. As for repair, recommend leak search to find bad parts then quote to replace. Also left quote to top off system incase they want to go that route. Customer will hold off on all recommendations for now. System currently not cooling properly
