This Air Conditioning repair project took place inside a residential attic and on the rooftop package unit. The goal was to restore proper Cooling performance, fix damaged ductwork, seal air leaks, and ensure the HVAC system could deliver reliable comfort again.
Fast Affordable Air serves the whole Clark County area including Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas, and this job is a good example of the careful work needed to keep a central Air Conditioner running the way it should.
Inspection of the Blower Motor and Wheel
One of the first steps in this repair involved opening the rooftop unit to inspect the blower section. The pictures show a clean and shiny blower wheel and a Genteq motor. The blower wheel is the round fan that pulls air through the system. If this wheel gets dirty or damaged, the Air Conditioning system cannot move enough air through the home.
The blower motor wires were checked for proper connections. Any loose or burnt wires can cause weak airflow, longer run times, and higher electric bills.
Coil and Drain Pan Area Cleaning
The evaporator coil inside the package unit was inspected next. This coil is the cold part of the system that removes heat from the air. The photos show a clean, angled coil surface with no heavy dust buildup. A clean coil helps the Central Cooling system work faster and use less power.
The drain pan and surrounding areas were sealed using HVAC-grade mastic. Mastic is a thick, sticky sealant used to stop air leaks. It looks messy, but it creates a strong and airtight seal that lasts for years. Without sealing, cold air can escape and warm air can sneak in, reducing Cooling performance.
Attic Ductwork Repair
Inside the attic, multiple sections of ductwork were inspected. Some ducts had torn insulation and exposed inner liners. Without proper insulation, the cooled air from the AC warms up before it reaches the rooms, which raises energy use and reduces comfort.
Several ducts were reshaped, re-supported, and re-wrapped. Fiberglass insulation was repositioned to cover exposed areas. Proper duct insulation helps the Air Conditioner deliver colder air with less strain on the system.
Duct straps were adjusted to lift sagging ducts. When ducts sag, airflow slows down, which can cause hot and cold spots around the home.
Furnace and Burner Box Check
This rooftop unit also handles the heating portion, so the gas burner area was inspected. The images show the inducer motor, limit switch, burner assembly, and ignition wiring. Even though this project focused on Cooling repair, checking the Heating and Cooling equipment together makes sure nothing is missed.
Electrical wiring was tightened, safety switches were tested, and the burner compartment was cleared of dust. These steps are important for safe furnace operation during winter.
Why This Work Matters
Repairing duct leaks, sealing gaps with mastic, and cleaning the blower and coil all help the system move air more easily. That means:
- Colder air at the supply vents
- Shorter AC run times
- Lower energy usage
- Less stress on the motor and compressor
- A quieter and more comfortable home
This project shows how important it is to keep both the rooftop unit and the attic ductwork in good condition. Even small problems like loose insulation or small gaps in the duct can add up and make the Air Conditioning system work much harder than it should.
