Merion Station, PA

3/4” PVC drain piped was smooshed into the ground. Drain line backed up. EZ trap opened thereby keeping equipment shut off. I supported against 4” pvc gutter downspout with cable tie. See photos. And then cleaned out ports and EZ trap on drain line. Flushed with water. Also added clamp to drain against furnace to support proper pitch. Also insulated EZ trap body; it’s in an unconditioned space. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to but a downspout diverter neath the gutter downspout to take water further out. They are affordable at Home Depot. Replaced 20x25x4 filter with 1” equivalent. I told him to replace 20x25x4 filter every 3-4 months. Checked temperature split and refrigerant pressures. Temperature split 77-57=20° 9.8° SC Perfect system operating well at this time. No charge related to AC install May of last year. Left estimate for plan membership for the system. gas Heat+AC. Includes heat tune up, cooling tune up. 15% discount on repairs and accessories.

The thermostat was running according to a schedule. The cooling target of the set point was set at 78° I offered to disable the schedule entirely high he agreed to do. I then showed Frank how to change his set point and mode on the thermostat. I set the cooling setpoints to 65° in the schedule just in case the schedule is ever accidentally enabled. I also double checked the EZ trap and all safeties on the system. Checked over operations. System operating well at this time.

Checked the AC side of the system . Checked the air filter and replaced. Checked the wiring connections and the voltages on high volt and low volt. Inspected the indoor coil and flushed and tested the drain line. Checked the blower condition and inspected the blower amps and tested for static pressure. Went to the outdoor unit and Checked and tested the pressures by using superheat and sub cooling methods. Checked the amps for the compressor and the fan motor and checked the indoor cooling temps at the supply and return. The AC system is working fine at this time of service.

Estimate for steam boiler replacement. Inspected boiler and it was disclosed that low water cutoff had failed and boiler continued to run until boiler was glowing red. Fire department was called due to carbon monoxide or smoke in the home. There is evidence that the boiler is leaking between sections 1 and 2 and possibly 3 on rear end. Boiler replacement nis recommended . Will call Peerless to determine warranty status of boiler cast iron.

Check up on a heat pump system. Checked the air filter and replaced the 213. Checked the wiring connections and the voltages. Checked the thermostat in heating mode. Checked the amps for the heating at the blower. Performed an outdoor check for the pressures. 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.

Water isn’t coming from the actual equipment. They said it came out of the vent in there living room . Equipment is on the opposite side of the house. But the bathroom that they had issues with is above that area in the living room. Couldn’t replicate water through the vent . If it is truly an issue with moisture, we will need to see on a hotter day. Water did come through that day they had the issue with there toilet. Collected for diagnosis.

Arrived With new T10 thermostat. Went over the job with the customer. Had to run a new thermostat five wire and move the new thermostat to inner room wall set up the thermostat and Wi-Fi and help customers with phone app to use the phone. Explain to the customers how to use the the app per room for the third and second first floor system is back up and running customers have both floors set at different temps . The sun is going to mail the check for the balance of 513.06

Upon arrival outdoor was not working. Found bad capacitor for outdoor. Replaced capacitor and tested operations. Inspected heat x and checked pressures. Unit is in normal operation.

To be able to control the temperature of the first and or secomd floor you need a room sensor there. Currently there is 1 thermostat on the third floor about 4’ from the only central return. Temperature of 1st Floor 76.5 Temperature second floor 77.4 Temperature 3rd floor 82.5 Suggested Thermostat with wireless room sensor as an option to control equipment based on the temperature of second or first floor. Switched cooling cycle rate per hour from 3 to 1 in current thermostat T6installer setup. I also turned adaptive capacity output to off at outdoor control (disabled). This will allow for a single constant target indoor coil temperature. Also checked and cleared EZ trap while on site. Our office will email quote for T10 thermostat with room sensor.

This proposal covers the recommendations discussed during the site visit completed on 1/22/24. Based on the observations, it appears that the attic is not properly ventilated. The poor ventilation in combination with air leakage and energy loss is likely leading to the ice damming and potentially moisture and/or mold issues in the attic space. However, the attic was not currently accessible due to all of the ductwork located near the rear access point. An additional attic access would need to be created for further diagnosis and the completion of work. I am suggesting the creation of an additional access point in the ceiling of the laundry room area. Additionally, I could not confirm the presence of insulation in the exterior walls and further diagnosis is needed there, as well. Therefore, some "guesstimating" was required for this estimate. I have tried to build the proposal as a "max" scenario in order to avoid any add on charges due to unseen circumstances. In this way, you should h
