Gas furnace tuneup on a 90% furnace . Checked the air filter and replaced and serviced the customer’s humidifier and tested . Checked the wiring connections and the voltages . Flushed the drain lines and furnace traps and inspected the condensate pump. Inspected the burners and flame sensors and cleaned . Inspected the flue pipes for leaks and bellies. checked the thermostat in heating mode and checked the gas pressures and the furnace safeties. checked the motor amps on the inducer operation and blower motors. Took indoor heat temp rise and tested for combustion on the system. The furnace is in good working order at this time of service.

Customer having issues with furnace not working properly. Found furnace on pressure switch error code. Reset unit and checked operation. Check in line vacuum reading 1.45 wc pressure switches rated at 1.27 wc. Tapped on pressure switches and switches closed. Try couple times and all times had to pat in pressure switches to close. Check venting and counted 4 elbows and 2 forty fives, total equivalent lenght is 40 feet. Manufacture call for maximum of 35 feet with the number of fittings. Performed combustion test ok. Would recommend replacement of pressure switches and potentially increasing venting to 3 in.

Inspected the flue pipes for correct pitch. Checked the air filter and found it needs to be replaced customer ordered new filters. checked my temp splits. Outdoor unit checked for sealed penetrations and checked for outdoor unit and disconnect to be leveled . Checked my components and checked the charge. Everything is in good working order.

Discussed goals and concerns with homeowner. Assessed problem areas and took photos and thermal images. Discussed problems and potential solutions. Built proposal in-home, and reviewed together.

Added intake drain and adapted to 3” PVC for venting. Adapted to existing fuel line. Installed blower motor surge protector. Installed new outdoor unit heat pump with new 30x30 pad. Added legs underneath and a new disconnect with surge protector. Replaced 7/8 and 3/8 line set. Sealed sump pump lid and crack in floor with concrete.

Estimate

Performed precision a/c tune up on (2) heat pump systems. (1) Bosch inverter heat pump system and (1) Carrier infinity communicating system. 16x25x4 filter was ok. 1st floor carrier carriage filter to be replaced by homeowner. Checked temperature split on both systems. Found 1st floor system to be low on charge. Temperature split was only 11 degrees and coil was freezing up. Pressures were 183/70. To replace indoor coil would be approximately $4300. System is a 13 years old recommended replacement of system. System at this point will cool slightly but will freeze up pretty quickly.
