Blown 5A low voltage fuse at air handler. Knick in low voltage wire just behind thermostat sub base. This was installed by us. Ran new 18/10 in one icee between thermostat and air handler. Replaced blown fuse. Tested system afterwards. System operating well at this time.

60A breaker in electrical panel for air handler was tripped when I arrived. Heat Kit is 15KW wired for 10KW. The second air handler breaker is left off. I checked tightness of wires of air handler breaker in panel and air handler breaker itself Also made sure our new breaker was properly connected at bus bar. Amp draw 40A on new 6/2 copper stranded wire: Good However after approximately 5 minutes run time I approached the breaker panel and I could smell a slight electrical burn smell and breaker was getting hot to the touch. I could hear arcing in panel. I decided to take air handler breaker out of the panel altogether and wire nut air handler wires until problems are resolved. The panel is dated 1979 and they no longer make breakers for this panel. An electrician may say there is a compatible 60A breaker or may advise to upgrade panel altogether. There is a fire risk to leave system on for now. I told her to call an electrician ASAP.

SOLD: 10/02/2025 12:48:05 PM - Best Best system for performance, comfort, and value. Installed new Mitsubishi 2 head mini split. Mounted outdoor unit on wall bracket. Installed new 30 amp double pole breaker. Ran new power wire from. Breaker to rector seal disconnect located outside. Wired in high and low voltage on outdoor unit. Ran new line set into the basement and up exterior wall. Covered all external line set with line hide. Mounted one indoor head in living room and ran new condensate line. Mounted 2nd indoor head in dining room and ran new condensate line outside. Cleaned up work area and tested out equipment.

Contacted NOVOSoft rep. System needs maintenance kit. We will email quote for this when we get pricing. It is an HTO system. Brine not being sucked from brine tank. Seals and nozzle are bad. Need maintenance kit. Heat pump is from 2012. Homeowner stated it was charged 2 years ago. R410A. But he had high bills this June and July. But he said this could very well be the fact that his rates changed fairly dramatically Refrigerant charge ok 8SH 6.7SC in cooling. 20° temperature split Completed heat tune up for 3 Ton Carrier heat pump with 10KW electric heat kit. There are (2) ceiling grille return filters. I replaced one he will replace the other very soon. Custom size. Indoor coil has some rust as to be expected based on age. Outdoor coil ok Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; left estimates for surge protectors. Contactor in bad shape. Left email to replace. One thing that happened when I first started system was compressor shut off and there was a “27” e

PECO Air Sealing and Insulation Project * Perform blower door test and calculate target for the home. * Install rafter vents at attic roofline to ensure ventilation is not negatively impacted by adding insulation. * Move insulation and air seal attic plane with single part spray foam then place insulation back into place. * Remove insulation in kneewall, Install new R-13 insulation and 2” Rigid Board insulation. * Add more insulation into attic space with blown in insulation to achieve desired R-60 value. * Perform duct sealing for all accessible ductwork in basement area including register boots. * Air seal rim joist and sill plates, and put insulation back into cavities. * Perform CAZ testing including draft testing of appliances and combustion testing under worst case conditions. * Perform test out blower door test to validate results from air sealing.

8/20/25 Tan Performed quality assurance on heat pump with electric heat install done on 7/24/25. Tested electric heat and found operational. 19a at 234v at each strip. I should note that only 10kw is working for now even though it’s rated for 15kw. There was not enough room in the breaker panel to run to supply the additional 5kw. Homeowner is aware until they improve their home electrical system, it will only run with 10kw back up heat. Tested heating mode. Found 30° temp split. Pressures and temperatures look good reading from trane app. I turned on aux lockout at 45° to prevent electric heat from activating above 45° weather unless in defrost. Tested cooling mode. Ductwork was found sealed and properly installed. Condensate drain and ez trap are pitched as well as condensate pump being leveled. Surge protector found on blower motor. Filter is 22x20x1. Showed client how to change in future. Electrical wiring are secure and tight. Checked thermostat settings and found everything set

installed new trane tahm airhandler and heat pump outdoor. Built new return and supply. Tapped/caulked return and supply. Ran new power wire and installed new 60amp breaker for air handler. Installed new heat kit and blower surge protector. Installed new condensate line with ez trap and condensate pump. Ran new vinyl tubing from condensate pump to outside. Installed new trane thermostat and wired in low volt with safeties. Reused existing power wire from furnace and installed new outlet for condensate pump. Drilled new line set hole through concrete wall in basement. Ran new line set and connected to new equipment. Installed new trane heat pump on leveled pad and snow legs. Installed new disconnect with surge protector and wired into outdoor unit. Cleaned up work area and tested out equipment. Will have to return to complete ductwork modification and remove oil tank. Customer wanted to pay after we remove both oil tanks and job is complete.

3 Ton Carrier AC No cooling. Found failed dual run capacitor at outdoor unit. Failed on the fan side. So fan was not running. AC would run without outdoor fan. Verified integrity of compressor motor using megaohmeter: Pass Replaced and tested system. Completed AC tune up while on site: Aprilaire 413 filter ok. Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors. There is no surge protection on HVAC equipment. Left estimates for surge protectors Inspected drain and pump. There is no water safeties other than pump safety. Left email estimate for EZ trap and wet switch. Measured temperature split (72-54=18° Good) Checked R410A refrigerant pressures and diagnostics: Ok. There is a lot of fluctuation in head pressures: an indicator that there is noncondensibles in the refrigerant system. The system was more than likely not properly evacuated at install. This is NOT a safety concern at all just a matter of efficiency and performance. Refrigeration and or comfort cooling Systems with noncondens
