Randy Newark performed our annual A/C Preventative Maintenance Program. Very Thorough Job. Here about 2.5 hours. Took off outside A/C Metal covers and cleaned our A/C Coils with a hose. They had obtained a lot of Debris/Dirt from Texas wind blowing over Mulch inner shrub bed. I am sure that helped the efficiency of my A/C Compressor. We have had our A/C Lennox High Effiecincy Unit now for 7 years (built this new Drees home in 2012). Randy discovered a Capacitor that controls the A/C Fan and Compressor was 5-7% below normal efficiency. He said he could not determine when it could reach the critical 10% below normal capacity where the unit would not function correctly. He said it may last until next A/C check in 2020. But if that Capacitor went out between now and then it would cost us an extra call out fee of $79 (that is reduced only because of us being on an Annual Preventative Maintenance Program). Also I get about a $30 discount on the part for the same reason. So we decided to Replace the Capacitor for the reduced cost benefit, for peace of mind and to allow our A/C to operate more efficiently. Randy checked on our Coil in the attic and to make sure everything was operating efficiently in that location. I got a copy of all the checklist items performed along with certain specifications maintained He took photos of the A/C coils before he cleaned them and afterwards. My wife and I appreciate the diligent work performed on our A/C giving it a clean bill of health to perform efficiently. Five Stars to Randy! Thanks!!!!
