Trusted HVAC Company in Hutto, TX

Performed seasonal preventive maintenance on a 3-year-old attic-mounted air handler system. Inspected the unit cabinet, electrical connections, and wiring, and measured amperage draw with a clamp meter (18.74 A). Checked the condensate drain piping, the pan, and the insulated refrigerant lines and ductwork for proper condition and support. Noted discoloration on the cabinet's foil-faced insulation. Previously identified indoor air quality concerns remain open for the customer's consideration.

Performed a member maintenance inspection on a 6-year-old split system with an attic-mounted air handler and outdoor condenser. Inspected the condenser coil and guard grille, finding no frost, rust, or visible damage, and measured ambient air temperature at the condenser. Used a clamp meter to check electrical operation of the outdoor unit, including amperage draw at the wiring and capacitor/motor section, and verified the line-set conduit and wiring connections were intact.

Performed maintenance on a single-zone split system (attic air handler, outdoor condensing unit) as part of a warranty follow-up for a previously diagnosed control/mitigation board failure. Measured static pressure at the air handler with a digital manometer, reading 0.23 in. WC, within acceptable range. Tested the outdoor unit's run capacitor with a true-RMS clamp meter to verify capacitance values were within manufacturer tolerance. System components checked and operating within specification.

Inspected the main service equipment and distribution panel in response to outlet concerns and a request for a generator inlet. Found the service disconnect and panel interior heavily soiled with dust and debris, with cracked, weathered conductor insulation on the main feeder cables and oxidation on the bus bar lugs and mounting hardware. The Square D distribution panel showed aged, loosely arranged branch wiring. Documented all conditions photographically and evaluated the system's suitability for a generator inlet installation, which will require remediation of the deteriorated feeder conductors and terminations prior to any added equipment.

Performed member maintenance inspection on the attic-mounted HVAC system, including electrical measurements at the air handler (blower motor amp draw recorded at 0.38 A) and verification of gas line, PVC condensate drain, and wiring connections with no frost, ice, rust, or visible damage observed. Inspected attic ductwork and identified torn and peeled foil-faced insulation on the rectangular duct board, exposing fiberglass insulation; surface temperature of approximately 104°F was measured at the duct, and the damaged insulation facing is recommended for repair to restore thermal and vapor barrier integrity.

Returned to the attic-installed air handler with a second technician to replace the secondary drain pan and filter base. Found microbial growth on the cabinet panels, moisture and staining beneath the unit, and condensation present in the plenum. Removed and replaced the deteriorated secondary pan and filter base, reset the unit on a stable support, and confirmed the primary drain line and float switch were properly positioned.
