Estimate

Completed AC tune up for 3.5 Ton Amana Replaced Aprilaire 413 filters provided by home Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; explained and left estimates for surge protectors. 1 for indoor equipment and 1 for outdoor equipment Measured temperature split and static pressure Inspected drain and pump added treatment tabs to drain pan. Checked integrity of compressor motor (mega ohm test) Assessed refrigerant charge checked pressures: Good Homeowner had some concerns with airflow to the supplies in the addition. There are (3) 6” flex runs that are a little kinked/compressed because they mad hard turns in the flex duct itself. It is better to do the sections with turns in hard pipe. I left estimate for this. When I checked velocity at the supply grills in addition they are 307, 307, and 360 fps: Ok AC system operating well at this time.

Performed AC maintenance on trane 3 ton heat pump system checked all electrical connections and components, replaced air filter. Check airflow supply and return ok. Inspect drain ok outdoor unit refrigerant levels and pressures. Check capacitor values ok. Cycle unit ok. During today’s visit noticed some items that will need attention soon. Compressor is making noise and amp draw is not consistent. After minutes compressor came to normal amps but noise continued. Refrigerant appear to be lower than normal. Could see refrigeration oil on drain line for indoor coil. As I was inspecting inner part of coil using camera I noticed a crack on the heat exchanger. Talked to customer about today’s findings. Heat exchanger is under 20 year heat exchanger parts only warranty (not labor). Compressor and indoor coil are both out of warranty. Would consider system upgrade as alternative option. Home comfort consultant to come out this Friday between 10 and 11 am.

Completed AC tune up for 3 Ton Amanda AC system Replaced 16x25x4 filter provided by homeowner Indoor coil in good condition; outdoor coil very dirty, left estimate to clean outdoor coil Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; left estimates for surge protectors Measured temperature rise and static pressure Inspected drain and pump; added treatment tabs to pump checked integrity of compressor motor (mega ohm test) There is a bypass humidifier, the pad will need to be replaced either now or before beginning of next heating season. Left estimate for humidifier service which includes new pad. Pad is Aprilaire 35 water panel. Assessed refrigerant charge checked pressures: Ok System operating well at this time.

Customer has 80% furnace in the basement exhaust goes all the way to the roof termination up in the attic couple years ago She had a leak. Roofer came out and silicon the flue pipe at the roof termination. She thinks it might be leaking again, went up at the attic. Inspect connection did not see any leaks, went up to the roof and inspect roof jacket and storm hood. Reapply silicon around the base and also storm hood. Customer will take a look at the attic when it’s raining.

Arrive for no heat situation. We were out here 2 weeks ago for some repairs. Found unit on a rollout switch open. Reset the rollout and tested operation. Upon duration of test found a burning smell from exhaust pipe. Tried to perform a combustion test, analyzer kept going off for high CO. Removed unit to inspect heat exchanger and found a lot of debris from heat exchanger corroding that is preventing it from burning correctly and venting appropriately which is causing flames to rollback. Also upon inspection it was found that the burner compartment is getting too hot especially to the touch. At this point I will follow up with the manufacture with the heat exchanger being default. Due to age and condition, would recommend getting an estimate to replace system. Office to follow up with customer.

Turn power off to the Rooftop unit. Remove the failing Inducer Motor. Install a new OEM Inducer Motor. Complete all wiring connections. Put the unit into heating mode and perform combustion testing. 12/30/24. Removed existing inducer assembly and installed new inducer. Used high temperature caulk around inducer assembly. Also performed tune up on rooftop system. Installed (4) new 16x20x1 air filters. Installed new A39 belt. Performed combustion test. Inspected burners. Roof top gas furnace is working fine at this time. 2 year guarantee on inducer.

Customers having issues with the heat for about a week now where there’s no ignition right away. Boiler tries to fire, but it doesn’t stay lit check oil pressure coming in 140 psi inspect electro transformer and cad cell. Check igniter seems to be weak and also cad cell is all yellow. Inspect heat exchanger boiler. Will need to get clean soon inform this to customer. Provided estimate to replace those parts transformer and cad cell. Customer approved repairs. Realign electrodes and replace nozzle test transformer and entire boiler. Boiler came on with no problems, test water, pressure and temperature aquastat It’s cutting off at 180 coming back on at 165. Water pressure is 12 psi. Cycle boiler couple times ok. Provided estimate to do service plan and also replace electrodes.

Performed heating tuneup on Concorde gas furnace, unit was ran in heating mode and combustion and gas pressures were checked. Temperature split was checked, flame sensor was cleaned and checked, hot surface igniter was checked, and blower motor and inducer motor were checked. No issues with unit at this time.
