IV. Service Description
A. Problem Description
Upon arrival, John Doe reported that the air conditioning system was failing to cool adequately, particularly on the upper floors of the house during hot days. He noted that the system seemed to run continuously without achieving the desired temperature.
B. Diagnostics
To diagnose the issue, I started by checking the thermostat settings and ensuring they were correctly calibrated. I then inspected the air filters, which were found to be clean and in good condition. Moving to the outdoor condenser unit, I observed that it was running but not cooling effectively.
C. Service Procedure
After diagnosing a refrigerant leak in the condenser unit, I proceeded with the following steps:
-
Refrigerant Recovery: I used a refrigerant recovery kit to safely remove the remaining R-410A refrigerant from the system.
-
Condenser Coil Repair: Upon closer inspection, I found a small leak in the condenser coil. I carefully repaired the leak using appropriate soldering materials and ensured a secure seal.
-
Refrigerant Recharge: After the repair, I recharged the system with the manufacturer-recommended amount of R-410A refrigerant.
-
System Testing: Finally, I tested the HVAC system to ensure it was cooling properly and achieving the desired temperature throughout the house.

VI. Technician's Notes
A. Observations
During the service, I noted significant dust accumulation on the condenser coils, which likely contributed to the refrigerant leak. I advised John Doe on the importance of regular maintenance to prevent future issues.
B. Challenges
One of the challenges encountered was sourcing the exact replacement condenser coil due to its specific size and compatibility requirements. This required additional time to locate the correct part.
C. Future Considerations
Based on the age of the HVAC system (over 10 years), I recommended that John Doe consider scheduling bi-annual maintenance visits to ensure optimal performance. Additionally, planning for an upgrade to a newer, more energy-efficient HVAC system within the next 2-3 years would provide improved comfort and energy savings.
VII. Recommendations
Based on my assessment and the service provided, I recommend the following to John Doe:
-
Schedule bi-annual maintenance to keep the HVAC system in peak condition.
-
Consider upgrading to a newer, more energy-efficient HVAC system shortly to enhance comfort and reduce operating costs.
