Responded to no cooling condition on second floor system. Replaced defective hockey puck wet switch that was preventing unit operation. Insulated primary drain pan to prevent condensation issues and improve system efficiency.

Completed preventive maintenance cooling tune-up on a 10-year-old outdoor condensing unit located on the side of the home. Inspected and photographed HVAC air filters and internal control board with wiring connections. All system components checked and serviced per standard maintenance protocol, with unit operating within normal parameters upon completion.

Responded to reported AC system leak in attic location. Upon inspection, identified active water leak originating from the condensate drainage system on HVAC unit less than 10 years old. Examined PVC condensate line configuration and connections for blockages or improper drainage. Documented equipment condition and leak source with photographic evidence showing condensate piping assembly and affected interior areas including ceiling and crown molding where water intrusion was visible. Provided assessment and repair recommendations to resolve drainage issue and prevent further water damage.

Responded to no cooling complaint on U10 system located in attic. Upon inspection, found evaporator coil completely frozen with heavy ice buildup on refrigerant lines and flexible ductwork. System experiencing short cooling cycles followed by shutdown due to ice blockage restricting airflow. Documented frozen coil condition with photos showing extensive frost accumulation on components. Diagnosed issue as restricted airflow causing coil freeze-up, likely due to dirty filter, low refrigerant charge, or blower motor failure requiring further evaluation once coil is thawed.

Responded to callback for AC unit cooling only one room in residence with system under 10 years old located in bedroom. Upon inspection, discovered severely corroded copper refrigerant line connections with heavy oxidation and deterioration at joints. Identified compromised condensate drain line connections at exterior foundation with visible moisture accumulation and improper drainage. Corrosion patterns indicated prolonged exposure to moisture and possible refrigerant leak at connection points. Documented condition of affected components with photographic evidence showing extent of copper pipe deterioration and drain line issues. System requires refrigerant line replacement and condensate drain repair to restore proper operation and prevent further damage.

Replaced defective blower motor module under warranty due to no cooling condition. Retrieved replacement part, completed installation, and retained failed component per warranty requirements.
