Completed (2) heat tune ups for Trane heat pumps Both 20x23x1 filters ok Showed her how to order filters online For Both systems: Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; main system electric heat amps 60A Good. Basement 40A Good Measured temperature rise and static pressure Observed both systems defrost cycle. Assessed refrigerant charge checked R454B pressures. Good Both heat pump systems are operating well at this time.

Noise issue is ticking and banging sounds related to the ductwork expanding. Only happens in heating mode. Static pressure .86” in heating and fan speeds are correct. There is no loud banging close to equipment that is commonly heard when there is a severe underside or an improperly supported return duct. We opened (3) basement supply grilles in an attempt to alleviate sound issue. Unfortunately the ductwork is covered by drywall ceiling can’t assess ductwork orientation 100,000 BTU Gas furnace. . Furnace drain is ran as a tube to a floor drain to the sump and is double trapped draining slowly. The 2” standpipe sticking up leading to sump is too high to allow for hard piping the drain to that point so a condensate pump with receptacle and vinyl discharge tubing and the adapter fitting to go from funace drain tubing to 3/4” pvc would be needed. Provided estimate to pipe furnace drain to the pump and discharge to the floor drain. We can keep the AC drain directly fed to the sump st

Completed (2) heat tune ups for (2) natural gas furnaces. Replaced 20x25x1 filter for first floor system Replaced 16x25x1 filter for second floor system 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 pressures. Inspected drains and pump. Combustion, draft and smoke tests: Pass Gas furnaces operating well at this time. Discussed whole home air treatment systems which will keep indoor coils clean and help with odors, VOCs and allergens. 1 can be installed at each of the 2 systems. Offered to complete humidifier service for both systems. Homeowner agreed: Replaced Aprilaire 45 water panels, cleaned housing, set water feed valves for proper water flow. Opened bypass dampers. Tested Both Humidifiers wor

Completed (3) Heat tune ups Replaced micropowerguard filters and cleaned all washable filters. For furnace: Completed heat tune up for propane furnace. (Installed May 2016) 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. Left estimate for water safety for evaporator drain pan. Combustion, draft and smoke tests: Pass Gas furnace is operating well at this time. For 2 ton Heat pump Carrier for game room (Installed in 2023) Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors; there is 10 or 12 gauge wire feeding the air handler that has 7.5KW electric heat kit. Needs to be 8 gauge to support 7.5KW. I disabled one element. Now pulls 17.3 which is 5K

Estimate

Completed QA for Trane heat pump 3 Tons with 10KW electric heat kit. Filter size 24x24x1 and a 12x12x1 in the basement. Inspected all aspects of install. Made following changes to Thermostat configuration: Minimum system speed Factory>40% Minimum CFM/Ton 400>>350 Max CFM/Ton 450>>370 Minimum indoor coil temp 32°>34° Changed heating and cooling from more comfort to balanced. Enabled AUX heat lockout and set to 38° Set power monitor over-voltage to 257V, open in .5 seconds, Restore power after an event after 180 seconds. 10KW electric heat amps 40: Good Measured temperature split(70-50=20) Good Verified refrigerant charge using test mode: Good

Sunday night 9 pm Luis 9-14-25 customer called in for no cooling upon arrival found up indoor unit running but no outdoor found manual high pressure switch open, reset switch and test operation, check refrigerant levels and pressures, inspect indoor and outdoor coils. I was able to find some signs of dye on indoor coil and outdoor coil as well. Provided estimate for repairs. Would recommend getting an estimate to replace system, customer will need to do repairs or replacement to maintain system working properly. Emailed estimate for repairs. Home comfort consultant to come to provide estimate on a new system.

Homeowner had condensate pump safety issues starting about. 2 Weeks go. Ultimately replaced his own pump. When I arrived today. Found blown 3A fuse. Checked for any shorts. No shorts determined. Replaced 3A fuse Still no LEDs on board. 24V at transformer Made estimate for. New control board under parts warranty+surge protector Homeowner agreed collected for Plan membership renewal PLUS half of the cost of the estimate. Today: 488.16. We will collect balance once work is completed. (299.15) Control board is ordered by our warehouse. We will contact them to schedule as soon as board is in our hands. I also used ECM motor tester to make sure blower motor module is not shorted and powered the thermostat with 24V from thermostat. Thermostat display: Good. There is still a chance that one of the thermostat contacts is fried or shorted. We will determine this once control is replaced.

Installed new Trane TAM air handler with Trane link thermostat and 10 kw heat kit. Adapted to existing electrical and metal. Installed unit in 30x60 pan. Installed EZ Trap, wet switch and blower surge protector. Installed new Trane 3 ton heat pump. Installed on 8” snow legs and new pad. Installed rectorseal power monitoring disconnect. Replaced lineset and reused line hide.

Ducted Mitsubishi Minisplit. Attic Drain pan was full of water. 14x20x1 filter clean (MERV11) Float style safety switch shut equipment down. I used wet vac to remove water from drain pan…approximately 15 gallons h20. Made sure switch contacts closed. Cleared drain line with c02 gun then water as well as using cable tie to clear trap. There is no clean out at coil port and trap is difficult to clean. Left estimate for EZ trap with clean out and float style overfill protection switch. Also added a few rubber pads at a point to give proper pitch to the drain. Rewired system. Had to reset breakers and wait full 5 min before restoring power. Allowed system to run 10 min, Temperature split and refrigerant pressures Good System operating well at this time. Krissy approved repairs and allowed to charge card on file for invoice. Locked both door of area and placed key in envelope where it was when I got here per Krissy request
