I completed the installation of a new Rheem 4 ton air handler paired with a 3.5 ton air conditioning unit. The project involved installing a new return plenum equipped with a 20x20x1 filter to enhance air quality. Additionally, I installed a new emergency drain pan, a pan safety switch, a coil safety switch, a condensation pump, and a new thermostat to ensure optimal system performance. A composite pad was also installed for the outdoor unit. The supply plenum, high voltage, low voltage, drain line, and return duct were reconnected. After installation, I thoroughly tested the system operations and set the appropriate refrigerant charge to guarantee efficient and reliable performance.
Completed maintenance.
Arrived to system off and flashing code for pressure open. Removed pressure switch hose from inducer port and water started flowing out of inducer port. Water is backing up the drain line and into the inducer causing the inducer port to be clogged not allowing the pressure switch to close. Removed hose at the collector box and tried to blow through drain line. Went outside to check drain line and found that it had frozen not allowing the system to drain properly. Told homeowner that I could try and melt the ice with a hairdryer but more than likely it will freeze again. Other option is to install a condensation pump and run it to the vent stack, told him we would get the estimate sent over to him. Drain line is still clogged.
Arrived to outdoor fan blades rubbing against fan shroud. Removed condenser top and checked fan blades, blades aren’t damaged. Confirmed proper position of blades on motor shaft to make sure blades didn’t slip down. Properly secured fan shroud and tested fan. Fan blades are no longer making contact with shroud. If shroud continues to fall down will need to replace system however system is functioning properly at this time.
