Inspected entire system and found the tape plugging the test hole for combustion had fallen off, I then used rtv silicone to plug the hole and tested the furnace and ensure the smell coming from the unit was taken care of. Showed customer issue and how I resolved it and she was ok with the repair.

Check up on a heat pump system. Checked the air filter and replaced , supplied by the customer. Checked the wiring connections and the voltages. Checked the thermostat in all heating modes, started with electric heat. Inspected the amps for the heating elements and checked the blower amps and the operation. Took electric heat temps at the return and supply. Performed a outdoor BTU output for the heat pump. Checked the outdoor unit, wire connections and the voltages. Inspected the components and tested the amps draws for the compressor and the fan motor. The heat pump is in good working order.

Performed tune up on Bosch heat pump, ran unit in emergency heat mode, tested heat strips and checked indoor blower motor and coil. Went to outdoor unit and tested all electrical and mechanical components, including compressor, refrigeration, levels, and fan motor as well as inverter condition. No issues with unit at this time, went into attic and spent about 25 minutes clear across the attic to locate the proper vent that goes in the wall, flex duct goes into very narrow wall about 3 inches wide so the flex up is smashed and is not allowing the proper airflow, customer would have to tear the wall up to run a new line. He said he will let us know what he wants to do.

Performed tune up on Amana gas furnace, checked unit in heat mode and tested combustion and gas pressure. Checked inducer motor, blower motor, hot surface igniter, temperature split, and checked and cleaned flame sensor. Customer replaced his own air filter and no issues were observed with furnace at this time.

Found zone board had a call from both thermostats . 27 volts between c&w. Found no power coming thru zone board to equipment side of zone board. Flexed electronic board inside and board then sent 27 v thru board and turned on furnace. Explained to homeowner that the zone board was failing and needed to be replaced. Called our office and had zone board ran out to job. Installed new zone board and tested operation. Gas furnace is working properly at time of service.

Removed old air handler and heat pump, installed new heat pump and air handler, Flushed lineset, installed single point entry and 15kw heat kit, built new supply plenum and return drop, installed motor surge protector, installed 30x60 drain pan, 115V condensate pump with ez trap, wet switch, and vinyl tubing. Removed old pad and installed new 30x30x3 concrete pad, installed disconnect with surge protector, installed snow legs under unit, connected high and low volt wiring, cleaned work area and tested out.

Completed heat tune up for 100,000 BTU natural gas furnace. Filter was very dirty. Last replaced June 2022. Recommend replacing every 6 months. Humidifier pad was in bad shape. Completed humidifier service. Replaced pad (Aprilaire 35 water panel) checked drain. Tests operations. Set humidistat to 35%. Inspected burners, heat exchanger, inducer assembly, pressure switches Cleaned flame sensor and verified flame rectification circuit Ignitor measuring correct ohms Confirmed manifold gas pressures Inspected wiring, controls, and electric motors. Left estimate for blower motor surge protector Measured temperature rise and static pressure Inspected drain and pump, cleared debris for, EZ trap. Combustion and draft tests pass System operating well at this time. Gave plan membership options but Nicole said she may be moved out of the house by then. Tried to get ahold of Nicole at the end for payment but went to voicemail. Our staff will be in touch for payment.

Check up on a heat pump system (Peco assessment) Checked the air filter and found good . Checked the wiring connections and the voltages. Checked the thermostat in all heating modes, started with electric heat. Inspected the amps for the heating elements and checked the blower amps and the operation. Took electric heat temps at the return and supply. Performed an outdoor BTU output for the heat pump. Found temps to be low and could hear the outdoor unit short cycling. I Checked the outdoor unit, wire connections and the voltages. Inspected the components and tested the amps draws for the compressor and the fan motor. When checking my pressures found the system to be low on charge, which was causing the short cycling. The system is over 14 yrs old recommended replacement. To repair the system would be costly and would be beneficial for replacement. Customer is scheduled for estimate for new equipment.

Found condensate pump running continuously, removed tiles from drop ceiling and located final tubing and began searching for obstruction, found a clog in the line before the turn out of the ceiling, cleared said clog and ran a gallon of hot water through the pump and ensured proper operation. Told customer if issue presents itself pump will have to have a new vinyl tube ran.
