There was hole in line set penetration where yellow jackets were able to get through. The vinyl tubing was partially cracked and broke when I went to work on sealing. I added barb and new piece of vinyl there. Tested pump afterwards. Also noticed a few exposed parts of sheathing at low voltage wire outside. I brought this to homeowners attention. She agreed to wiring repair. I spliced low voltage wire outside and wrapped in electricaltape then wrapped with double layer foam tape. Tested AC briefly to ensure wiring was good. Left estimate to run new vinyl tubing to sump. Sealed hole completely where any gaps were using silicone. Homeowner paid for invoice today.

Fully assessed no cooling situation. Found system locked out on high-pressure lockout when we arrived. Also, system had a condensate error in the system. Tested condensate drain and found condensate draining correctly. Reset power to system and found compressor starting and making a grinding noise and shutting off within about 30 seconds, not enough time to even diagnose pressures. Explain to customer that the geothermal is 12 years old and there is only two options. Replace compressor, which would be about five to $6000. Or replaced geothermal system. Explain to her that sometimes Geos only last only about 15 years so it would probably be a better investment and replacement of geothermal package unit itself set up appointment with our office to have someone come out to give a replacement quote. We will also provide compressor replacement quote. System is not functioning at time of service.

The a/c system is working fine at this time of service.

Fully assessed no cooling situation. Found geo running when I arrived. Checked 410a refrigerant pressures they were 307/142. Ground loop incoming temperature was 81 degrees. As all 3 geothermal units operate, loop temperature coming into coax will push head pressure way up. This will cause high pressure lock outs on the refrigerant side. Recommended to homeowner to contact powl as they installed the well loops to add check valve on water loop on each geothermal. Homeowner will keep us updated. All geothermal units are operational at this time.

Temperature split 76.5-58= 18.5° Good Reminded customer that in the past we detected refrigerant leaks at coil.

Damper is still not opening from time to time meaning it is beginning to fail entirely. I made sure voltages were correct and wiring connections at damper were secure. Also checked for any additional screws that might be causing the damper to get hung up. It actually worked fine while I was here but it will act up again. Gave customer estimate for replacing 8” Honeywell zone damper. Wired temporarily so this zone remains open until damper can be replaced. Homeowner wants to leave it as it. He may decide to replace damper at a later point. Zone will remain open for now. No charge for diagnostic for today as it was related to previous service call.

Zoning for attic (second floor)system is as follows: 1 Round Honeywell zone dampers is wired as Zone 1 (master bedroom bath thermostat) 3 Round Honeywell zone dampers are wired together as Zone 2. Master bedroom thermostat. When I arrived the 8” round damper that feeds 2 supplies including the bedroom/office t for zone 2 was closed when there was a demand for cooling for this zone. (The other 2 round dampers/takeoffs for zone 2 were open as designed) During troubleshooting process I found that removing a long sheet metal screw allowed the damper to open and close as designed. After removing screw, damper ok. Tested twice and resecured insulation between damper and supply plenum using a cable tie. Zoning is operating well at this time.
