Additional findings and recommendations:
One downstairs glycol tank solenoid was found disconnected. Customer advised another contractor will reconnect and further diagnose the glycol tank system.
Glycol concentration tested between approximately 15%–30%. Recommended performing a more accurate glycol concentration test and adjusting glycol levels as needed.
Rooftop glycol supply and return piping insulation was found severely deteriorated, increasing system heat load and reducing efficiency. Recommended professional re-insulation of rooftop piping.
Both compressors currently lack crankcase heaters. Recommended installing crankcase heaters to improve compressor protection and long-term reliability during colder weather conditions.
