Install 3 PHASE 5 ton heat pump system paired with 10 kw heat kit. Set condenser and air handler, install or replace refrigerant line set, connect electrical, and thermostat controls. Charge refrigerant, perform system startup and testing, and complete all necessary permitting and inspections. This Project will require drop ceiling in the immediate area to be removed, and it will be down for 2-3 days. Anyone working in this area would want to relocate to a different area during that time.
2nd service Bi annual complete. Tested and verified functionality of transfer switch and electrical system.
For this invoice I came to preform a two system tune up. The downstairs system which I replaced the indoor evaporator coil in august of last year had a leak at the schrader port on the suction line. I tightened it up and added a few ounces to recharge the system. The indoor was at a 9° temp split but is now putting out 50°.
Completed bi annual checks. All checks verified.

Found plugged drain, blew out with nitrogen at high psi. Noise was loose fan mount screws on condensing unit. Simply tightened. Complete. Scott K
Completed annual generator preventative maintenance as well as a check of the electrical system and transfer switch function. All equipment tested properly.
Check voltage in generator. Voltage fluctuates +/- 1.5VAC. Called generac tech support. Tech support stated that the voltage was within range and changing the voltage regulator could potentially fix the flickering lights inside but it is not a guaranteed fix since voltage is within spec. Customer requested a price on replacing control board.
Checked system completely, no issues. Blew out drain as preventive, also washed condensing unit. Complete, Scott K
Tenant had “fixed” (retapped) the large flex back to supply plenum. Pics show where it was moved from being the last tap on the trunk to the 1st tap to gain more airflow by a previous tech several weeks ago. This fed master bedroom 1st floor area that had zero airflow. 3500+ sq ft home, 3 zones. Appears the 2nd flr zone damper ( pic with controller with green light) has failed open allowing majority of air to go to 2nd floor. Stat set on 78- room temp is at 70 with all registers closed. Company last week replaced master damper control board for zone system, wouldn't leave 2nd floor damper manually closed because zero air would reach stat on 2nd flr thus keeping constant call for cooling on single supply AC system. They recommend replacement of entire HVAC system with several systems and get rid of zone system all together. Tenant also thinks they may have bid to just replace damper. HVAC is working fine as entire home is at 70, the problem is the zone system. Note: Gen had light on, h
This job I completed a filter change as well as blew out the drain lines
For this job, I completed a filter swap on the rooftop system I also blew out the drain lines
Arrived at clients home looked at outdoor unit as call stated outdoor fan not running Went outside to check voltage pushed in Contactor tested board then capacitor Found capacitor weak on fan and dead on herm possibly due to compressor over temping Replaced capacitor found fan still locked up replaced with variable speed rescue motor System started was only putting out 82 super heat 11 and subcool 2 Then evened out around 3/2 Checked system for leaks and other variable as well Notified client of restrictions in piston Call back tomorrow after finding price on either a coil or new piston
For this job, I completed a p.m. checking to make sure the system is running and operating correctly for the summertime weather. I checked amp draws between the compressors, contactors fan motors, and capacitor. Also checking the subcool and superheat the refrigerant charge and made sure there was a correct temp split. I did adjust the temperature swing on the thermostat to help. Make sure the system turned off when it needed to.
Brother shop I arrived. It was informed the outside system was not running and the thermostat was not calling for the condensing unit. It was determined I was getting proper voltage and proper low-voltage to the board, but the system still was not working. I checked for a break in the lines in the low voltage side and also checked to make sure our safety switch wasn’t going bad and causing the system to break communication. It was determined a new board for the outdoor condensing unit will need to be ordered and replaced. I spoke with the customer about this and they would like a price on replacing the board on the outdoor condensing unit.
This job I arrived and was informed the system was not running upon getting here. The system was running and seemed to be running correctly. I checked the refrigerant levels, sub cool and superheat, and made sure the charge is correct. I also checked the capacitor to make sure it was not going bad And I checked for a temp split which I got a 17° temp split the system at the time of me being here is running and operating correctly.
For this job, we came back to the apothecary with a new condensate pump with safety switch replacing the old one also rewired the pan switch and main safety switch and tested the system. This system is running at this time accurately with a 17 degree temp split.
For this job I arrived and was informed the system was not cooling upon inspection and getting on the roof, checking pressure levels in the condensing unit. It was determined that the issue lied somewhere inside the air handler located in the ceiling grid upon further inspection I noticed the system was not getting 24 V between yellow and common and I tested for tone between the float switches The secondary float switch was clogged with sludge and causing the system to not run in cool mode I vacuumed out the sludge in the air handler, and the pump in the system is running and operating correctly at this time.
For this job, I done a preventive maintenance on a train package unit located on top of the roof at the secondary restaurant. I swapped out the filters checked blowers motor compressors compressors amp draws, and make sure the system was running. There is a restriction due to the hail damage on the outside condenser coils and it is recommended for a cool replacement. I swapped out filters and blew out drain lines with nitrogen at this point the system is running at the best of its capability due to the hell damage preventing adequate airflow.
For this job, I done a preventive maintenance on three outside condensing units with forehead, mini splits also one package unit on top of the roof, checking all amp draws compressors fan motors and refrigerant levels. All systems are running and operating correctly. Also swapped out filters for the redfish bluefish package unit on top of the roof. It calls for 12 20 x 20 x 2 filters that we will supply.
With this job, I’ve done a preventive maintenance at the R’Celious kidney center here in Gulfbreeze. I swapped out all filter filters. Check systems in both heat and cool mode check temperature split as well as refrigerant charge blew out drain lines and made sure the systems are running and operating correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, we stand behind the quality of our workmanship and offer guarantees on our repair and installation services.
In many cases, replacing an old AC unit is more cost-effective in the long run than repairing it repeatedly.
Older units are often less energy-efficient and more prone to breakdowns, leading to higher energy bills and repair costs over time. Additionally, newer models come with advanced features and technologies that can improve comfort and save money on energy expenses.
Therefore, if the repair costs are significant or if the unit is nearing the end of its lifespan, replacing it with a newer, more efficient model may be the better option.
There are several indicators that it might be time to replace your AC unit. These include…
- Frequent breakdowns
- Rising energy bills
- Inconsistent cooling
- Continual strange odors or noises
Additionally, if your system uses an outdated refrigerant that’s being phased out, such as R-22, replacement might be more cost-effective than repairing.
Repair appointments are made to fix damages or issues to your heating system. At McNorton Mechanical, this includes a professional assessment, transparent conversations, and effective solutions.
