Evaluated a system in Pinellas Park where a customer's thermostat went completely blank after an autumn rainstorm moved through the area. We tested the low-voltage control circuit on an American Standard system and found a blown 3-amp fuse caused by a shorted wire near the outdoor unit casing. We repaired the damaged wire insulation, replaced the fuse, and installed a low-voltage surge protector to guard the electronic controls against future voltage spikes.

Arrived at a home in Gulfport to troubleshoot a heat pump that was short-cycling whenever the evening temperature dropped into the mid-60s. Diagnostics on a Goodman unit revealed a faulty defrost control board that was failing to sequence proper cycles between cooling and heating modes. We replaced the defrost board, checked sensor calibration, and verified that the compressor maintained full, stable heating cycles without rapid tripping.

I addressed moisture issues in a home with a Trane heat pump system, focusing on the crawlspace and main air ducts. High seasonal tides and coastal humidity had led to moisture buildup. I inspected the duct network, identified a torn insulation jacket on the main trunk line, and repaired it. Additionally, I re-sealed all connections using foil-backed mastic tape. These repairs effectively prevented warm, moist crawlspace air from entering the system, ensuring the supply air remained clean and dry. The work improved indoor air quality and system efficiency.

I addressed an issue with an indoor air handler affected by early autumn humidity. Upon inspection of the Rheem unit's drain assembly, I discovered a significant algae buildup obstructing the main drain line. I employed pressurized nitrogen to thoroughly clean the line, ensuring proper drainage. Additionally, I treated the drain pan with anti-algae tablets to prevent future growth. To safeguard against potential overflow, I installed a secondary float switch, enhancing the system's reliability and protecting the surrounding area.

Dispatched to a property in Oldsmar where a customer reported noisy, rattling ductwork whenever their heat pump transitioned between cycles during cool fall mornings. We inspected the attic ductwork connected to a York air handler and found several loose flex-duct support straps that were allowing ductwork to vibrate against ceiling joists. We re-secured the duct runs with heavy-duty nylon strapping and sealed all plenum joints with mastic, eliminating the noise completely.

Completed a duct repair on a sheet metal duct system.

Completed the Maintenance visit to this customer home. Clean drain line and check the system Freon due the last visit the system was low. This time the system do not need Freon. Left the system working in good order.

Completed an air-duct sealing job in Indian Rocks Beach to stop cooling loss in a coastal home. Sealed the leaky connections and checked airflow room by room. The homeowner immediately noticed stronger, more even airflow in the back bedrooms and should see lower cooling bills.

Completed a ductless mini-split repair in Indian Rocks Beach. The Mitsubishi wall unit was short-cycling and not cooling evenly. Cleaned the indoor coil and blower wheel, cleared the condensate line, and verified operation across all the heads. The system is cooling quietly and evenly again.

I was called to resolve a no-cooling issue with an HVAC system. Upon inspection, the outdoor coil was severely corroded and clogged from salt air exposure.
