Dave called us in late spring to follow up on a suggestion we made earlier in the year, which was to replace the decades-old, gas-powered heating and cooling system at his parents’ home. At the time, our company recommended that the family upgrade their setup to two modern heat pumps, and now Dave was ready to have the work done. Our team determined the desired heating and cooling capacity for the space and ordered the appropriate system for the customers. The old apparatus was dismantled and replaced with the new one – in the heating closet on the first floor, and on the attic to condition the second floor. With assistance from an electrician who works with our company, we also upgraded the electrical panel breakers to accommodate the new heat pumps. Airflow was adjusted to allow the new system to work at full capacity, and the family was very happy with their purchase.
In the middle of July, Astrid called us complaining of no cooling and an inoperative thermostat in one of the bedrooms of her apartment. When we arrived, we found that the system was an in-wall water-source heat pump, and we confirmed that the thermostat was completely blank. We checked that the system was receiving high voltage from the electrical panel, but the thermostat did not receive the 24-volt signal. Furthermore, the circuit seemed to be interrupted at a malfunctioning additional mini circuit breaker wired into the unit itself. We replaced the part with a new one, and the thermostat turned on, after which the system once again became operational.
One summer day, when it was 90°F outside, Jerry, a local retail business owner, called us to report that there was no cold air coming out from the central air conditioning vents in his retail space. The thermostat was set to cooling mode, there was air moving from the supply ventilation ducts, but the air coming out was warm, suggesting a problem with the condenser unit. The relevant outdoor unit was located on the rooftop, and, after accessing it, we spent about an hour finding a refrigerant leak. The rupture was in the condenser coil, and we very carefully brazed the tiny opening. Afterwards, we verified no additional leaks were present and we evacuated the system prior to filling it with the appropriate amount of the correct refrigerant. The system was placed back into service and cooling was confirmed from the vents in the retail space.
