Perform precision heat tuneup on 2006 Columbia oil boiler. Checked all electrical connections and components. Replaced RF two oil filter. Replaced . 75x80 a nozzle. Found electrode tips were burnt off recommended replacing electrodes. Replaced electrodes and tested operation. Brushed so from heat exchanger and smoke pipe found air separator, head clogged up recommended replacement of head of spirovent. Performed combustion test. Oil boiler is at replacement age and would recommend getting a quote on replacement. Oil boiler is working at time of service.

Found 2016 Rudd heat pump system with a call for heat and nothing was running. Had 208 v at the air handler breaker. Gave system a fan on call and the fan did come on. Found that on a heat call nothing ran. Jumped out wiring at thermostat base and everything came on. Recommended replacement of thermostat. They provided me with a pro thermostat. Installed thermostat and tested operation. Checked temperature rise it was 93 degrees supply and return was 71 degrees, 22 degree rise. Tested emergency heat. Heat pump is working properly at time of service.

Completed (2) heat tune ups for propane furnaces 1st Floor system installed 8/8/19 by Dibiase 2nd Floor system (2 zones) Installed 3/10/21 by Dibiase Replaced 20x25x1 filter for 1st Floor system. Replaced 16x25x1 filter for second floor system For each furnace: Inspected heat exchanger, burners, flue pipe, inducer assembly and hoses Inspected hot surface ignitor and verified resistance with meter. Recommend upgrading burners for both furnaces to stainless steel. Propane is a corrosive fuel, it will eat away at burners eventually preventing funace from operating Cleaned flame sensor and verified flame rectification circuit Measured temperature rise and static pressure Checked wiring, controls, electric motors and components; there are no surge protectors; left estimate for a surge protector for each furnace blower motor. Checked manifold gas pressure(s) Inspected drain and pump. There is a condensate pump safety and EZ trap but no wet switch. Left estimates for wet switch/flood s

I arrived to the customers home. He said the furnace wasn’t running at all. He did call before about a noise from His furnace and he said it will come and go. Looking at his furnace in the basement there were no lights on the control board. bottom door of the furnace wasn’t engaged completely I did reset the system and tested system operation. I checked combustion temp splits and monitored the flame. I did tell the customer that he is probably hearing his modulating inducer motor ramping up and down depending on ratio customer did sign up for a $189.00 contract and collected for diagnostic for $84.15 paid by check . Please schedule customer for his first call in the spring for a/c .

On arrival, customer had said the heat is struggling to keep up. We had put in an air handler and heat pump in August 2025 her actual issue wasn’t the air handler or the heat pump. Her boiler was locked out on flame lockout customer had mentioned she was getting low on propane and they were going to come at some point, I had About 9 inches water column coming in and at the igniter, I found a pinched wire that I took care of. I reset the system , and the system did fire back up and at the time that it fired back up, the propane company showed up the fill her tank. I checked the air handler and the coil was getting hot now her upstairs is getting warm again. I collected for diagnostic fees for tonight. She is back up and running at this time of service.

Luis 1-30-26 Performed heat pump tune up, on amana heat pump system. Replaced customer supplied 313 air filter. Checked all electrical conections and Checked temperature rise. Test 10 kw back up ok. Checked refrigerant pressures and temperatures at indoor and outdoor units. Tested defrost operation. Heat pump system is working fine at time of service. I could check back pressure on outdoor heat pump. We will need to fix this issue in spring. I’ll try to fix this issue without removing the refrigerator from system. We would only recover refrigerant if needed. I told customer to schedule AC tuneup sometime for may, pricing to fix this issue will be provided.

2 furnace check ups . I arrived to the customers home to service both their Trane 95% furnaces both are 8 yr old systems. I started with checking the air filters and replaced both , (2) 413 and serviced both their 600 humidifiers . I checked all my electrical connections and voltages. I inspected and tested the burners , flame sensors and the igniters on both units. I water tested all tubing and hoses. I inspected the exhaust and fresh air pipe for restrictions and bellies. I inspected the inducer and the blower motor operations for both units. I checked and tested for combustion and took temp rise splits at the return and the supply's on both systems . Both heat systems are working fine at this time of service. Collected for $252.30 for both air filters and both humidifier services. Paid by cc.

Luis 1-28-26 tenant called in because the heat pump is still not keeping up maximum temperature get it’s about 66° in the house. I went over heat pump, thermostat settings and I was able to see that the thermostat was not energizing auxiliary heat outside Temperature is 19° thermostat is set to lockout electric heat at 40°F. At 19° outside supply temperature it’s 88° and 66 coming back without auxiliary heat. I modify thermostat settings to bring auxiliary heat after 20 minutes of running time if thermostat not satisfied. I told tenant to keep an eye on the thermostat and if he still has issues to call us back. we might have to switch to a different thermostat.

Fully assessed defrost situation. Found thermostat set to 70 degrees when we arrived and calling for heat. Found system was completely defrosted at this time. Looked over install manual for defrost settings. Only two settings could be changed one was to reduce heating run time by 10% turned this dip switch on. Also turned on dip switch to extend defrost by 60 seconds, these are the only settings that can be adjusted. Also checked over all settings in the thermostat from install they were correct. Checked 454b refrigarant pressures on digital read out they were 272/55 very good let homeowner know the changes that were made. No charge due to recent install. Heat pump is working properly at time of service.

Found auxiliary pan full of water and float switch tripped. Causing loss of power to thermostat. The “rain gutter” tube was detached at the inducer exhaust elbow. I reattached. Removed water from pan (12 gallons) And then tested for any other sources of water. Replaced 16x25x1 filter Combustion and draft tests: Pass Told homeowner to set FAN to “On” at thermostat for a couple days to thoroughly dry the blower compartment. Left estimate for wet switch/flood safety. More effective and reliable water safety. Left estimate for EZ trap for AC drain line, has overfill protection switch, Also recommend and provided estimate for running condensate vinyl discharge to the available standpipe at water softening system drain. See photos. System operating well at this time.
