Minisplit Install
After a $2 fix on the customer’s main house AC, he had me install this minisplit to heat and cool his shop. Which was a highly insulated sound-proofed building because my customer is a jazz musician. His “shop” is half tool shed, half high-end recording studio. The Pioneer minisplit is so quiet, the subwoofers emitted more noise than the AC. Comfortable, and unnoticed – that’s air conditioning at its best.
Copper Line Repair in a Condenser
The customer reported an AC failure after a lightning storm. Sure enough about every major electrical component had to be replaced – but even worse, some current had burned a hole in the copper refrigerant lines.
Fortunately the holes could be repaired with a soldered “bandaid” and the unit was able to hold a fresh charge of refrigerant. It’s been running good ever since.
Adding Insulation
The customer’s house wasn’t warm. A brand new heat pump had been installed, but it wasn’t keeping him warm. Mi-Repair performed a complete Manual J assessment and discovered the home was severely under insulated.
It took three days and a couple hundred bales, but he’s warmer and his wife is happier. More insulation means your house stays cool in the summer, and warm in the winter.
Water Treatment
The water from this customer’s country well water was brown. So brown you could count the particles swirling in a cup. Nobody wanted to bathe in it, let alone drink it! On top of that, the county health board detected coliform bacteria – which can be a serious a health issue.
Mi-Repair designed a custom water treatment system that tackled all the problems, softened the water and gave the client first class protection from viruses and other contaminates.
Electrical Repair
It was supposed to be a normal HVAC repair… But lightning made other plans. On top of frying most every electrical component in the outdoor condenser, the strike also fused, melted, or just blew apart the circuit breakers inside the house. No wonder their AC wasn’t working! Fortunately for them, we know a great electrician who bumped his schedule to handle this emergency. While the electrician installed the new panel, Mi-Repair rebuilt the condenser’s electrical components. It was a lot of scrambling, but that customer had cold air by closing hours.
