Antelope, CA

Arrived on site performed diagnostic on a 34-year-old air conditioner. Furnace that connects system is a 22-year-old American standard. Outdoor unit is temp star. Upon arrival, contactor is engaged, which should be starting the system as long as the high voltage is present; checked high voltage at bottom of starter assembly, and no voltage was present. Check fuses, and one of the fuses in the safety disconnect was blown. Changed fuses to see further diagnostic. Put new fuses in system and outdoor fan turned on however compressor was whining. Checked capacitor to ensure that it was receiving electricity needed; capacitor is in spec. I then checked the resistance on the compressor and the readings It was giving are indicative of the compressor failing. Due to the age of the system and the cost of the repairs, I recommended replacing the HVAC system. Discussed options for AC only as well as full system replacement as it is best advised to replace the full system at once. Additionally ga

Full System Replacement. SMUD Rebate = $3,000 (Discounted off of the project cost, check received by the contractor) TechCA Rebate = $1,000 (Discounted off of the project cost, check received by the contractor)

Quoted 3 ton HP installing tomorrow.

Provided a quote for a goodman hvac system.

System is operating upon arrival. Doug says that the other day when it was triple digits, the system had a hard time keeping up with cooling the home. He said the cold air didn’t feel as strong. During my thorough evaluation temperature split was still between 18 and 20°. Filter was recently replaced. Air handler is located in attic. No signs of any defective ductwork. I decided to adjust the fan motor speed and added 10% more fan speed to help push the air through the home quicker to cool home quicker. Ran and tested system. Everything is operating normally. Temperature split is still between 18 and 20°. Offered our CCC membership program to Doug so we could come out to check on the system twice a year. He agreed so we got them signed up. System was left running upon departure.

Currently building spread sheet on estimates for pros and cons. Will call back.

Quoted 4 ton system cut in return

Upon arrival system was on but the compressor wasn’t running. I’ve noticed the capacitor was burnt out. I’ve replaced the capacitor and built a new bracket and system began cooling. I’ve also checked compressor and fan amp draw to make sure those components weren’t over amping and they weren’t. System is cooling as of right now.

Customer has a Gas electric system from 1990 not functioning. He is looking at replacing with a Heat pump system. Also interested in upgrading his electrical panel. Will be looking at making a decision this afternoon.

Upon arrival, customer has a 33-year-old 4-ton Goodman unit with original ductwork. After evaluating the system, I would recommend a full replacement of both ductwork and HVAC system. Based on my load calculation, it would make sense for them to upgrade to a 5-ton unit. Customer is going to be changing from a gas and electric system to a full heat pump, split system and replacing duct work.

When I arrived I met with homeowner's douther who explained what her mom was looking for I took all of the necessary measurements and pictures to do load cal and design system, explained that after I go back and work on the customized estimate I will reach out to the home owner.
