It's Halloween, so we'll say it: the noise coming from your rooftop unit is not a ghost.

It's a mechanical problem that hasn't failed yet. Equipment usually makes noise before it stops working, and most of the sounds above are early signs of wear. Catching them in that window means a scheduled repair instead of an emergency call.

If you or your tenants hear something new, write down which unit it is, what the sound is, and when it happens (at startup, under load, all the time). That detail shortens the diagnosis.

Happy Halloween from all of us at IAH.

Steven has been part of INTEGRATED since day one, and today marks nine years.

Over that time he’s put as much effort into developing people as into growing the company. He gives the team room to take on more, backs them when they do, and makes sure their work gets noticed.

Thank you, Steven, for nine years of showing up for this team. We’re glad to have you leading into what’s next.

A compressor that fails is often reacting to something upstream, like an electrical fault or poor airflow. Replace it without finding that cause and you may be replacing it again.

Our repair work covers compressors, electrical diagnostics, and airflow corrections for that reason. The goal is a fix that holds, plus a clear answer for the property manager on what went wrong.

When a cooling unit cycles off with no mechanical fault, the drain line is worth checking before anyone orders parts.

A clogged condensate line lets the pan fill, and a float switch cuts power to the unit. Once the water level drops, the unit can restart, which makes the problem look intermittent and hard to pin down.

Our new post covers how the clog forms in Florida's humidity, what to look for around the unit and the ceiling below it, and what to ask your vendor about maintenance scope.

When one suite runs warm and the rest of the building is fine, the equipment is usually working. The cool air just isn't reaching that space in the right amount. A stuck damper, a failed actuator, a restricted duct, or a control that never opens will all do it. Less often, the load has changed, like added equipment or more people in the space, and the system was never sized for it.

To a tenant these look the same, and each has a different fix. Diagnostics finds which one it is before anyone replaces parts on a guess, which keeps you from paying for the same complaint twice.

A unit that's running isn't necessarily a unit that's healthy. Dirty coils and clogged filters restrict airflow and make the equipment work harder to hold the same temperature. That strain usually shows up on the hottest day of the year, when the system has no margin left.

A maintenance visit covers inspections, filter replacement, coil cleaning, and a performance check. The point is to find the problem while it's still a line item on a report and not an outage.

Did you know a unit can shut itself off while every part of it is working?

In humid climates, cooling equipment pulls a lot of water out of the air. That water leaves through a condensate drain line, and algae and sludge build up inside it over time. When the line backs up, the pan fills, and a float switch cuts power to the unit before the pan overflows. The tenant just sees a space that's getting warm.

If the switch doesn't catch it, the water ends up in ceiling tiles and insulation.

During preventative maintenance we clear and treat drain lines, check the pan, and test the float switch. It adds a few minutes per unit and can prevent an outage on the hottest day of the week.

The paper is an airflow indicator. While the unit runs, air pulls it against the return grille. When the detector senses smoke, the unit shuts off and the paper drops.

That shutdown is the detector's whole job. A running unit moves air through the entire building, so in a fire it can carry smoke into occupied spaces and feed the flames. Cutting the fan stops that.

Code requires it, and we don't rely on the detector being wired correctly. We trigger it on site and watch the unit respond, because a detector nobody has tested is an assumption.

It's still close to 90 degrees in Central Florida, so heating isn't on anyone's maintenance list. That's why now is the time to check it.

Heat pumps have been in cooling mode since spring. Heat mode runs the cycle in reverse, and the reversing valve that makes the switch may not have moved in months. A technician puts gauges on the system and compares heat mode refrigerant pressures against what the equipment should be running at. Low charge or a valve that isn't shifting properly will show up in those readings.

Gas and electric heat need their own checks: ignition and heat exchangers on gas-fired units, heat strips and safety limits on electric. A cracked heat exchanger can let carbon monoxide into the airstream while the unit appears to run normally.

Test now and repairs happen on your schedule. Wait for the first cold morning and you're competing with every other building for the same service call.
