**Friday Project Spotlight: Compressor Replacement**

This week’s Project Spotlight goes to **Shane and Hoogie** for completing a warranty compressor replacement on **CU-2** after the existing compressor was found grounded.

This repair involved more than simply swapping out a part. The team followed proper service and safety procedures from start to finish, including removing the unit from service, locking out/tagging out electrical service, recovering the existing R-410A refrigerant, flushing the lines, and removing the failed compressor.

As part of the repair, Shane and Hoogie replaced:

- (1) warranty compressor
- (1) liquid line drier core
- (1) contactor

Once the new components were installed, the team pulled a vacuum, completed a pressure test, returned the unit to service, charged the system with new R-410A to factory charge, and tested and logged the unit for proper operation.

Compressor work takes skill, patience, and attention to detail. From refrigerant recovery to final startup, each step matters when bringing equipment safely and reliably back online.

Nice work, Shane and Hoogie. Thank you for representing RPM well in the field and getting this unit back in operation.

Apparently, our scheduling skills could use a little work… because not only did we miss celebrating Andrew’s 5-YEAR WORK ANNIVERSARY, we almost let his birthday sneak past us too! 😂🤦‍♀️

But hey, better late than never, right?!

For 5 YEARS, Andrew has been helping keep our install team on track, leading the crew, getting the job done, and keeping things fun along the way! 🔧💪

When he's not running the install game, you can bet he's cheering on his Dallas Stars 🏒⭐ or rooting for his beloved Texas Longhorns! 🏈🤘 HOOK ’EM HORNS! 🧡

Andrew, we may have fumbled your anniversary and nearly got called for delay of game on your birthday, but one thing's for sure… when it comes to leading the install team, you're our MVP! 🏆

Five years in the league, still putting points on the board, and not headed for the penalty box anytime soon! 😂🏒🏈 (Questionable? HA HA)
Here's to another year of big wins, great installs, plenty of laughs, and hopefully a front office that remembers the important dates! 🤣

🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY & HAPPY 5 YEARS, ANDREW! 🎂⭐🤘

GO STARS! ⭐ HOOK ’EM HORNS! 🤘🧡

Customer Spotlight: Local Property Manager

We’re grateful to support property managers who trust RPM to help keep their facilities running smoothly, comfortably, and reliably.

Here’s what one property manager shared about working with our team:

“The most valuable part of working with RPM has been their reliability, responsiveness, and knowledge. They take the time to identify the problem and provide solutions, rather than just a quick fix. Since working with RPM, we have been able to address several ongoing HVAC issues at our property, improve the overall performance of our systems, and feel confident that we have a dependable vendor we can call when issues arise.”

That kind of feedback means a lot to our team.

At RPM, we know property managers need more than a vendor who simply shows up when something breaks. They need a dependable partner who understands the equipment, communicates clearly, and helps identify solutions that support long-term performance.

Thank you to our customers in property management who trust Reliable Plant Maintenance to help care for their buildings, systems, and tenants.

From the Field: Hoogie & James on the Job

This week’s field spotlight goes to Hoogie and James, who were onsite inspecting two AC units serving the CL1 infeed area and the men’s locker room.

During the visit, the team found RTU 27 low on refrigerant and identified a leak in the condenser coil. At the customer’s request, they injected leak seal and recharged the system with 6.5 lbs of R-410A to help get cooling performance back on track.

The following day, Hoogie and James returned to remove and replace two condenser fan motors, reinstall the existing propellers, start and test the system, and correct motor rotation.

Not every field call is one simple fix. Sometimes it takes troubleshooting, follow-up, coordination, and a little rooftop grit to get the system operating the way it should.

Thank you, Hoogie and James, for the solid field work and for keeping this one moving from inspection to repair.

🏗️ PROJECT SPOTLIGHT | Split-System Replacement

Out with the old. In with a whole new setup. 🔧

Our RPM team recently tackled the replacement of CU-14, an aging Carrier split system, with a new Carrier system featuring one outdoor condensing unit and TWO twinned indoor furnace units.

This one required a little bit of everything:

🏗️ Rigging the new condensing unit onto the roof
🔥 Installing dual furnaces with a twinning kit
❄️ Installing the new cooling coil
🔧 Running and brazing refrigerant piping
💨 Purging the line sets
🛠️ Rebuilding the return-air plenum and setting new filter bases
⚡ Connecting high-voltage electrical
🔥 Running and connecting gas piping
🎛️ Installing head-pressure controls
🔌 Reworking control wiring
🛡️ Installing a condenser hail guard
🌱 Preparing the system for R-454B refrigerant

The crew worked across both the rooftop and second-floor mechanical space to bring all the pieces together.

Projects like this are a good reminder that replacing commercial HVAC equipment involves a lot more than setting a new unit in place. Mechanical, refrigeration, electrical, controls, airflow and rigging all have to come together for the system to operate as designed.

👏 Nice work by the RPM team bringing another commercial HVAC replacement together! Thanks, Andrew, Chase Leo and John!

Keeping your facility running strong.
