Completed heat tune up for natural gas furnace. Replaced 16x16x1 filter Inspected heat exchanger, burners, flue pipe, inducer assembly and hose Inspected hot surface ignitor and verified resistance with meter Cleaned flame sensor and verified flame rectification circuit Measured temperature rise and static pressure Checked wiring, controls, electric motors and components; there are no surge protectors; left estimate for a surge protector for each of the 2 main circuits Inspected drains. Left estimate for wet switch a water safety device that will shut down equipment if water makes its way on floor near unit. Combustion, draft and smoke tests: Pass Gas furnace is operating well at this time.

Completed heat tune up for 75,000 BTU natural gas furnace. Replaced 16x25x1 filter; recommend replacing every 2-3 months. Left additional on site Inspected burners, heat exchanger, inducer motor, pressure switch. There is one decent rust seam around one of the heat exchanger serpentines (secomd from right) but otherwise heat exchanger in good condition. Cleaned flame sensor, verified flame rectification circuit Ignitor in good condition, reading slightly high in ohm value, recommend replacing, left estimate Checked gas pressure Measured temperature rise and static pressure Combustion and draft tests: Pass *I would plan to replace HVAC system here considering age and the one rust seam on serpentine that could become cracked. System operating well at this time.

Installed new gas furnace and A/C outdoor. Adapted return and supply’s. Placed unit in drain pan with float switch. Tapped/ caulked return and supply. Adapted gas line and flue pipe. Adapted high volt and installed new outlet and switch. Ran new condensate line and installed new ez trap and pump. Reused existing vinyl tubing and thermostat. Wired in low volt with safeties. Flushed line set and connected to new equipment. Installed outdoor on preexisting stone slab. Reused disconnect and ran new whip wire. Cleaned up work area and tested out equipment.

Squirrel cage in inducer assembly for first floor furnace was broken inside from rubbing against housing. (see photos) Sourced part and offered to replace today. Tim approved. Completed work today. Installed new new inducer with new gaskets. The after feed valve for humidifier was closed I opened properly for water flow to humidifier. Humidistat set to 35% Completed heat tune ups for (2) gas furnaces. Replaced 16x25x1 filter @ second floor system Basement furnace filter ok For BOTH furnaces Inspected burners, heat exchanger, inducer assembly and pressure switches Cleaned flame sensors Both carbide ignitors reading within correct ohm range. Confirmed manifold gas pressure Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors Measured temperature rise Combustion and draft tests: Pass Systems operating well at this time.

Found multiple cracks in heat exchanger see photos. Heat exchanger has failed. Furnace is unsafe to operate. I turned gas shut off valve off. Red tagged furnace. Do not operate. Carbon monoxide can make its way into living space. Took dimensions of equipment. Floor to plenum is 53 3/4” 66,000 BTU 80% Efficient furnace with 2.5 Ton R22 AC system. Funace also has weak ignitor. Informed Bill (tenant), Tim Brown and Joe. Joe will email system replacement quotes ASAP. Th size of apartment is the same as Rowan Hall Apt 101 where we installed 60,000 BTU furnace with 2.5 Ton AC in July 2018.

Completed heat tune up for natural gas furnace. Replaced 16x25x1 filter Inspected heat exchanger, burners, flue pipe, inducer assembly and hoses Inspected hot surface ignitor and verified resistance with meter Cleaned flame sensor and verified flame rectification circuit Measured temperature rise and static pressure Checked wiring, controls, electric motors and components; Checked manifold gas pressure Inspected drain and pump. Humidifier was OFF presumably all winter and bypass damper was closed. I replaced Water panel last year. In good condition. Set humidistat to 35% and opened bypass damper. Combustion, draft and smoke tests: Pass Gas furnace is operating well at this time.

Completed heat tune up for Weil McClain gas boiler with 3 zones. Cleaned heat exchanger, burners, and burner compartment Confirmed proper gas pressure Inspected ignition assembly, controls. Checked all hydronic components, expansion tank Good All zones getting hot. Temperature delta between supply and return 18° Combustion and draft tests: Pass System operating well at this time. Also replaced 20x22x1 filter at AC only air handler, vas dirty.

Mr Rounds mentioned the (2) radiators on the 3rd floor were not getting hot. 1 was closed. Both needed to be bled of air. Both now getting hot. Completed tune up for Crown Boiler dating to 2004. Cast iron burners and heat exchanger. Cleaned heat exchanger and burner compartment. Very little debris to speak of. Inspected flue pipe and chimney, clean and intact. Checked thermocouple and pilot assembly. Made demand for heat using relay panel, Monitored boiler temperature pressure and function of aquastat. All radiators are getting hot. Combustion and draft tests: Pass System operating well at this time.

Second floor system is still not operational. See system replacement quotes. Completed tune up for York Natural gas furnace. Replaced 16x25x1 filter; was very dirty recommend replacing every 2 months. Inspected burners, heat exchanger, inducer assembly, pressure switch Cleaned flame sensor and verified flame rectification Ignitor is reading a little high in ohms at room temperature. Norton 271 ignitor range between 40-75 @ room temperature. Is reading 81 ohms. One reason ignitors fail is when they cycle on and off repeatedly which happens when system goes in and out of high limit conditions caused by dirty filters.Left estimate to replace but Tim Fischer replaced himself last year he will do it if it fails. Confirmed proper manifold gas pressure Measured temperature rise Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors Furnace is 14 years old. IMPORTANT: THE AC FOR THIS 1ST FLOOR SYSTEM COMPLETELY EMPTY OF REFRIGERANT. Will not work at all in AC. We have sent system replacement quotes

Completed tune up for gas boiler. 112,000 BTUs Cleaned heat exchanger. Very little debris. Flue piping is cleaned. Cleaned burner compartment. Monitored boiler pressure and temperature 12 psi/aqua stat keeping temperature at 180° Inspected piping. Needs pipe off of relief valve to meet safety standards. Left previous estimate to do this. The water feeder bypass has failed. Left previous estimate for this. Will be needed to fill boiler to correct pressure and purge if repairs are ever needed. Checked circulator amps. Cleaned thermocouple. Combustion and draft tests: Pass. Boiler operating well at this time. Jay had to leave. We’ll have to schedule another time for minisplit tune ups. I checked temperature rise of basement head: Ok
