Berwyn, PA

Performed QA on Goodman Gas Furnace. Reviewed programming and Airflow settings for heating and cooling. Ran system in heating and measured combustion, gas pressure, and static pressure. Adjusted gas pressure to improve combustion. Tenant said the Heater has been working well. Completed checklist form in system. No additional follow up needed.

Arrived for a no heat gas furnace on second floor. Turned up the thermostat and went down to basement to inspect unit. Unit was locked out. Reset unit and watched sequence of operation. Noticed only three of four burners were lighting. Noticed dirty flame sensor too. Turned gas off to unit and unhooked gas line. Disassembled burner assembly. Cleaned burners and flame sensor. Reassembled burner assembly and put unit backed together. Reconnected gas line and performed a gas leak search. Noticed a small crack on heat exchanger and brought to homeowners attention. Performed a combustion test. Let homeowner know it may be time for replacement soon. Inducer is noisy on startup as well.

Arrived for no heat on first floor system. Found the thermostat in a call for heat. I reset the unit found inducer comes on. Igniter comes on gas valve opens. Flames are good but shuts off within 5 to 10 seconds. I did a micro amps test on the flame sensor found flame sensor reads .00 to .01 needs to be 1.4 and higher . Not able to hold the flame I collected half down for the new flame sensor install repair , I waived the diagnostic fee for today since we are just here for maintenance. The customers do have a second-floor system that’s still up and running in a mini split in the basement that’s running. Thermostat is in the position on first floor and the customer has the option to run the fan continuously to help move air.

Returned for banging and ductwork, original tech put a piece of strap across the front side of returned duct, but the backside of returned duct it was still banging so I added another piece of s Clete across the back and put multiple screws in and banging has subsided

Installed new Goodman furnace. New 10x25 return drop and boot. Adapted to existing condensate line. Adapted to 2” vent piping. Adapted to existing gas line and installed new blower motor surge protector. Tested operations and cleaned up.

Replacement of blower motor and drain furnace trap with hoses. After replacement of blower motor perform safety test on furnace combustion results were not as stable as soon as the blower motor comes on you can see flames dancing, and also movement on monoxide levels flue pipe. High co and low co2. These numbers indicate there is a breech on heat exchanger. Performed smoke test and unit failed test. System has been red tagged, repairs are needed for system to be working in safe mode. Called land lord and explained situation. emailed estimate for repairs. Heat exchanger will be under parts only warranty customer is responsible for labor and processing fees. Other parts are non warranty. Office to follow up to customer.

Performed 2 heating maintenance on gas furnace and 1 minisplit heat maintenance, called for heat at thermostats. System came on performed combustion test, checked gas line for leaks, inspected duct work, checked temp rise, checked filters both 413 ok at the this time. Checked drain and checked pressure switches, inspected inducer motor, inspected blower compartment, clean sensor and inspected igniter, tested and checked gas valve and pressure, inspected burner assembly and heat exchanger, system is running at the time of service Checked outdoor unit to mini split, voltage and lineset insulation checked. Clean filter and also outdoor coil for mini split. Service and replace pad for humidifier set to winterb35%.

.

Estimate for boiler mainly and 2 other heat pumps in future

Perform tuneup on Goodman, gas furnace, checked combustion and gas pressures as well as checked temperature split across unit. All related ignition components were checked, including cleaning flame sensor and checking hot surface igniter. Heat exchanger was examined and is in good shape. The only issue I found was with the inducer motor, making a whining sound due to the bearings beginning to fail, an estimate attach for replacement of motor and lead was set for customer to get a price on a new system. She wants a heat pump gas furnace combination. Customer is also having the same issue. She was before with the ductwork banging on the return side tech who came up before strap the front of the unit with S Clete, but the backside of the ductwork closest to the chimney is now making noise.
