Air Conditioning & Heating Services

My annual SRP A/C check-up was scheduled for 4/15/16. I did not select a contractor and this morning Larson A/C showed up even before the scheduled appointment. The two technicians: Joshua and Colorado were very courteous and got right to work on the 4 ton Goodman unit. They opened the panels on the unit and inspected the coils which were found to be in poor condition due to the inlet of the drip line being clogged. This allowed standing water to accumulate causing the base of the coil to start to rust. Joshua unclogged the drip line inlet so this would not happen again. They checked the amperage of the condenser motor which was found to be running at full (2.8 amps) amperage indicating a failing capacitor. They replaced the old capacitor with a new one and the amperage reading decreased. I joined Joshua and Colorado on the roof and they gave me a full explanation of the overall condition of the unit including coils, compressor, condenser motor and temperature split. They were extremely knowledgeable and were able to convey information about the unit in terms I would understand. They pointed out specs that were labelled on the unit and showed the reading on their amp meter and temperature split regulator to point out that the unit is not realizing it's full operating efficiency due to an intake restriction. They were very careful when disconnecting their refrigerant lines so I wouldn't lose much refrigerant. The unit blows too cold as a result of poor airflow over the coils. They pointed out that I was losing a lot CFM as a result of the restrictions in intake and leaks in the duct work. The insulation layer in the attic also is very old and needs new insulation. I couldn't have been in better hands as Joshua and Colorado were thorough, knowledgeable, honest and friendly who also took the time to explain the operation of my system and offered ways to improve the existing unit's efficiency until I can afford a new one as this unit is reaching the end of it's expected lifespan. I will be using Larson going forward for all my A/C needs including unit replacement, duct-work sealing, insulation blowing and the possible addition of new intakes to improve cooling efficiency in the house. I feel VERY lucky to have had Larson come out this morning. They can expect to have me as a repeat customer going forward. Also, and I'm sure it goes without saying that Larson A/C should feel proud of having two employees like Joshua and Colorado.
