Our technicians installed a whole-home dehumidifier and connected it to the existing HVAC system to help control excess moisture and improve indoor comfort. We completed the necessary connections, checked the drain, and tested the system to make sure it was operating properly. During the visit, we also found that a roof issue was allowing moisture into the home. The roof had been temporarily covered while the homeowners arranged for repairs, and we explained that fixing the roof would help prevent additional moisture from entering the home. We also completed seasonal maintenance on the air conditioning system, checking its operation and inspecting the major components to make sure everything was working properly for the cooling season. The air filter was clean and did not need to be replaced, and the home’s air-cleaning equipment was operating as expected. We did notice some dust in the return ductwork, while the other areas checked were clean. After completing the work, we tested the HVAC systems to confirm they were operating correctly. The homeowners now have better control of indoor humidity and an AC system that is ready for the cooling season.

Handyside Plumbing, HVAC & Electrical provided an evaluation to address the customer's concern that the AC was not keeping up with the temperature setting and confirmed that the system had no AC, with the indoor blower running but the outdoor unit not operating. We checked the breakers and found that the dual capacitor in the outdoor unit had blown. We moved forward by replacing the capacitor, checking the wiring, and running the system through a full cooling cycle. Operation was confirmed and the unit began working properly.
