Ben W.
Responded to no cooling complaint on 30+ year-old Amana air conditioning system. Upon arrival, confirmed unit was running but not cooling effectively. Performed diagnostic inspection beginning with indoor components, verifying air filter condition and testing blower capacitor—both found to be in acceptable working condition. Proceeded to outdoor condenser unit and connected refrigerant gauges to measure system pressures. Diagnostic testing revealed critically low refrigerant charge with suction pressure reading only 10 psi during operation, well below manufacturer specifications. Low refrigerant pressure confirmed as primary cause of no cooling condition. Given the advanced age of the system (30+ years) and the refrigerant loss, coordinated follow-up appointment with service advisor to discuss repair options and system replacement recommendations with customer.

Trevor P.
Responded to no cool call on 3-year-old system with complete loss of power to furnace and air conditioning unit. Upon arrival, found Ecobee thermostat display completely dark with no power present at any system components. Diagnosed failed 24V transformer on furnace as primary issue and replaced transformer to restore low voltage power supply. After transformer replacement, conducted system testing and discovered Ecobee thermostat had also failed, specifically the Y terminal which controls compressor operation. Bypassed thermostat and verified air conditioning compressor, condenser fan, and indoor blower motor all operated properly when directly energized, confirming all HVAC equipment functionally sound. Determined faulty thermostat likely caused electrical fault that damaged transformer. System now has proper 24V power supply restored and is ready for operation once new thermostat is installed. Provided thermostat replacement options but customer declined service and elected to self-
