Arrived at call for second opinion on fail, blower motor, confirmed, blower motor and board were both failed and called the manufacturer for pricing and availability on parts. The board is available, but the motor is two weeks out and is a special order. Estimate was left with customer to replace both parts under warranty the contractor who installed it is going to replace both parts at no charge of the customer so he’s going to go with the original installation contractor. Advise customer to get a search protector at least and send him an estimate on all repairs, he will contact us if he decides to go with us.

Completed quality assurance for Bosch Hybrid system. Inspected all aspects of install: mechanical, ductwork connections, wiring, drain, flue and gas piping. Verified control settings Confirmed proper low and high fire manifold propane pressures. Checked ignitor, flame sensor, inducer draft (measured at pressure switch) Measured temperature rise in heat pump and gas furnace operation. Combustion and draft tests: Pass Install passes quality assurance inspections.

Aux heat lockout was set to 50° Considering the aux heat is propane furnace and the heat pump is an 20 SEER inverter we can set that to 30° or 35°. I set to 30° today. Aux heat will not run when outdoor temperature is above 30° I set compressor minimum outdoor temperature to 25° Afterwards made demand for heat and checked heat pump temperature rise. (72-104 =32°) Good System operating well at this time.

Removed old equipment. Installed new Bosch heat pump on risers, new concrete pad, new copper lineset, and energy monitoring disconnect. Installed new Bosch 100kbtu propane furnace and coil in drain pan, built custom plenum and new return drop with Aprilaire 413 filter. Adapted to existing gas line, added condensate pump, ez trap, pan switch, and vynal tubing to sump pump. Wired all safeties. Installed new ecobee lite thermostat.

Arrived at call for no heat, found the outlet on the condensate trap for the furnace was off and caused water to leak into furnace. Re attached fitting onto trap and tested drain. Furnace runs great with the door off but when the door is reinstalled the furnace codes out after a time, went under deck and felt intake pipe that isn’t pulling as much as it should. Told home owner of issues and sent estimate on repair but he said he will look into repairing it himself.

Arrived for no heat . They ran out of oil and got it filled recently but the heater won’t run. On arrival found the heater burner was locked out . I quoted to replace the oil filter and inspect the nozzle and prime the burner . I tested combustion, the oil furnace is back up and running at this time of service. I did leave an estimate for a contract for a/c and oil furnace for 349.00 .

Estimate

Completed tankless water heater service. Cleaned cold water inlet screen. Isolated and flushed heat exchanger with descaling solution 45 minutes, then with water only 10 minutes. Inspected and cleaned ignition assembly. Needs to be replaced. There is no longer a gasket. There is some buildup on burners. Afterwards set system back into operation and trial for ignition completed first time. Combustion tests pass Mad an estimate to replac flame rod and ignitor assembly with gasket and the gaskets necessary to remove cover plates and brush out burner compartment. Homeowner agreed. We will contact when parts are delivered to do work on estimate. Collected for tankless service and estimate for gaskets, clean burner compartment and install new ignition assembly today.

Performed tune up on trance heat pump, tested unit in emergency heat mode and checked heat strips, checked blower motor and coil, as well as all electrical connections. Went to outdoor unit and checked all electrical and mechanical components in the outdoor unit and checked refrigerant levels,capacitor, and compressor and fan motor. No issues with unit at this time.

Performed heat tune up on icp gas furnace, tested system in heat mode and tested combustion levels, gas pressure,heat exchanger, and hot surface igniter. Tested inducer and blower motor, tested temperature split and cleaned drains. No issues with unit at this time.
