Parkersburg WV Heating, AC Repair & Plumber

All checks in ac unit look good. TXV bulb was improperly mounted at the indoor coil so I corrected that and insulated with foam tape.

Performed heating and cooling check. Everything operationally looks great. Duct work on the return is very dirty. Quote price for duct cleaning and ionization attached with email.

No issues found with thermostat. Customer had put mercury thermometer beside stat and the readings did not match. I placed my digital temperature probe on the thermostat and it matched. Explained to customer that not every thermometer or temperature probe will register the same exact number. Also the old mercury thermometer are not as accurate as the digital ones. Offered to do a temperature offset on the thermostat but customer declined. They jump wanted to make sure they didn’t have a faulty stat.

Building has two apartments in it. When we replaced the system for the downstairs apt the ac systems got mixed up. The new ac got hooked up to the old furnace that works upstairs. The old ac got hooked up to the new furnace downstairs. I will relay this information to our installation manager so we can get issue resolved.

2020 Comfort Maker split system w/ Skuttle 20x25x5 filter. All checks good at this time. Customer has surge protection for furnace, would recommend if interested to add 240v surge device for a/c as well to further cover equipment.

1999/2000 Heil split system using 16x25x1 filter. Customer mentioned issue with humidity. Continued my cooling check to find 35/3mfd dual cap on a/c well low out of range. Replaced capacitor. Gauges show that system is possibly a slight bit low on r-22, but given age and probable need for replacement in near future customer elects to only swap out capacitor at this time and try to get through this upcoming season before likely full swap. Cleared drains, getting only about a 13 degree temp drop from return to supply, otherwise the outdoor temp at this time is 73 so system is able to properly cool until hotter time in the year and may call in if further attention is needed.

Performed cooling check on equipment. Changed 16-25-1 filter and verified working status of surge protection. System is undersized for size of home but is working at its full capacity at this time with no issues. Left brochure for customer regarding the Halo 5 and new Groggs brochure.

Changed AA413 and 35 filters. Cleaned and checked operation of equipment. Found no issues at this time. Recommended surge protection for equipment. Customer will call in if wanting to have surge protectors installed.

Customer said ac wouldn’t come on a few days ago when they tried it, but the blower would come on. Checked everything over. 40/5 capacitor was good and in range at 40.5/4.95, contactor was in good shape with a 0.01 voltage drop across it. 242v in and 241.9 out. Low voltage was also good at contactor at 27v. Check all electrical connections outside, all were tight and in good shape. Checked 3 amp fuse inside, fuse was still good. All electrical connections inside were in good shape and tight. Turned unit on and off 3 times at stat. Came on without fail each time after 5 minute time delay. System had a 17 degree temp drop with 122 suction and 272 liquid pressures. Could be problem with stat wire out to the ac or thermostat. Customer elected to not have any repairs today.
