The Report

What the homeowner told us

Heat pump blows cold air in the morning.

Findings & Work Performed

What Andrew documented during the visit

I added 4.25 pounds of refrigerant to bring the system back to proper charge. I informed the homeowner that the evaporator coil is leaking and the added refrigerant will slowly leak out over time.

The Verification

Verification performed

I verified proper operation after charging with stable pressures and good cooling performance. I advised that performance will decline again as the leak continues.
