Measured blower/inducer motor current (approximately 1.38 A and 6.75 A on monitored circuits) and confirmed readings within normal operating range. Inspected cabinet interiors and wiring, with no signs of corrosion, damage, or frost, and systems were left operating properly.

Performed a fall heating tune-up on one system, inspecting the electric heat strip assembly and confirming the resistance coils were intact, evenly spaced, and properly supported by ceramic insulators with only minor dust accumulation. Verified electrical operation by measuring amp draw at the outdoor unit's electrical compartment with a clamp meter (11.94 A), and checked the contactor and wiring connections for proper condition.

Installed a replacement evaporator coil in the attic air handler and a new condenser fan motor on the outdoor unit. Sealed the air handler cabinet, secured the condensate drain and insulated refrigerant line connections, and terminated the fan motor leads at the condenser. Verified system operation after installation.

Responded to a complaint of the indoor blower motor running continuously and not shutting off after a recent capacitor replacement. Inspection of the air handler blower compartment revealed the motor wiring harness heavily coated in corrosion and mineral buildup, indicating deteriorated conductors and connections at the motor. Verified unit data and warranty coverage (installed 2020), and documented the condition with photos to support the diagnosis and recommended repair of the blower motor wiring and connections.

Performed a seasonal heating tune-up on one system, including inspection of the air handler cabinet, electrical connections, and condensate drain assembly. Measured amperage draw (48.6 A) with a true RMS clamp meter at the electrical connections to verify proper component operation. Identified mineral buildup, moisture residue, and rust/corrosion on the secondary drain pan and PVC condensate fittings, indicating a potential condensate leak or drainage issue that should be addressed.

Performed a fall tune-up on one system, inspecting the evaporator coil and cabinet interior and noting dust buildup, mineral deposits, and surface corrosion on the casing and brackets, along with stained insulation on the refrigerant line. Verified electrical operation by measuring amperage draw (19.35 A) with a true RMS clamp meter and inspecting the low-voltage wiring connections and contactor for proper condition.

Performed an on-site assessment for a complete ductwork replacement, documenting the air handler dimensions (approx. 20.9" x 20.5"), a 12-run duct layout, and room-by-room branch sizing. Developed a room-by-room load and airflow (CFM) layout from the floor plan to support proper duct design and sizing for the replacement estimate.

Responded to a no-cool call for the attic air handler tripping on a full secondary drain pan and shutting down the system. Inspected the condensate drain line and found a blockage at the PVC fitting, which was removed and cleared to restore proper drainage. Also noted a creased, compressed flexible supply duct at the plenum connection, with displaced insulation around the base, and recommended it be corrected to restore proper airflow.

Performed a fall heater tune-up on one system, inspecting the evaporator coil, which showed dust accumulation on the fins along with rust and corrosion on the coil frame and lower drain pan. Inspected the attic ductwork and found heavily soiled, deteriorated duct wrap and insulation with staining consistent with moisture exposure, as well as rusted metal brackets, which are possible contributors to the reported popping noise at startup and shutdown (likely duct expansion and contraction). Recommend further evaluation of the duct insulation and corroded components.
