Estimate

Performed quality assurance on recently installed Goodman heat pump system. Replaced 16x20x1 air filter. Checked all electrical connections and components. Checked temperature rise. Tested emergency heat. Found condensation drain was going uphill, re pipped condensation drain correctly. Checked r-32 refrigerant pressures. Heat pump is working properly at quality assurance.

I had talked to the customer on the phone. He said he had a power outage and said that the air handler won’t come on or the heat and also said his oven isn’t working . When I arrived I opened up the air handler and didn’t see anything visibly being affected. I checked voltage coming into the air handler And I had 65 Volts power. Customer had told me that he remembers seeing something on the oven that said line power. Customer will contact an electrician to see if it’s something with the panel. He does have space heaters to keep them warm at this time I collected for my diagnostic, please follow up with the customer on Monday to see if he got his electrical issue resolved . I collected for my diagnostic paid by credit card.

Completed heat tune up for 2 ton heat pump with 10KW electric heat kit. System was installed by Dibiase Dec. 2018. Replaced 16x20x1 filter Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition. There is some biological growth on plastic coil pan and sections of indoor coil compartment. I wiped these clean but it will return. Left estimate for UV light system which will control this, Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components. 8KW electric heat kit 35A Good. Recommend replacing thermostat with smart thermostat to allow for more control of electric heat usage. We can lock out electric heat based on outdoor temperature using either of these thermostats. Measured temperature rise and static pressure Inspected drains. Verified integrity of compressor and defrost cycle Checked refrigerant charge/pressures. 319/68 outdoor temperature 26°F Good Heat pump system is operating well at this time, He paid for plan renewal today.

No heat: Furnace was not operational when I arrived. Hard Lock out on multiple pressure switch openings 80% efficiency down flow furnace installed 6/15/07. AC is the same age. Found that the draft pulled by inducer is just under what is required to make the pressure switch. I cleaned the tubing and pulled the heat exchanger cover plate off. Ton of soot and debris. Cleaned this and draft improved slightly. Just enough to make the pressure switch. And furnace would run for 5 min. However the draft randomly drops thereby shutting off the furnace. Switch is rated for .-50”. Draft being pulled is around -.47” There were blockages in the furnace heat exchanger preventing inducer from being able to make adequate draft. Inducer motor is failing, Also noticed the board randomly energizes the second stage of inducer. Need new control board and inducer motor as minimal required repairs. I would not spend any money on this system. Added clean pressure switch tubing and lines to today’s inv

Luis 1-12-26 customer called in for no heat, heat pump from 2019 Lennox. Found blower not running. Thermostat is set for preheat, running electric heat, found blower relay not working properly, I tested x13 motor it works on all taps but the green wire tap. (1) I tested heat pump and come on when there is a call for y motor tap 3 gets power. I look at the diagram, and it doesn’t show any way to interlock fan with there is a call for w and y at the same time. Both taps getting power at the same time. I will need to find about this from tech support no other relays are shown. I provided estimate for repairs. I also provided estimate for new 15 kw heat kit, since there was lot of damage from overheating. Air filter was also super dirty. I was leaving the house. Customer brought to attention outside unit not working. I checked heat pump operation. I noticed the unit after about seven minutes of running. It goes into low pressure. Troubleshooting heat pump found refrigerant blockage outdoor

I arrived for a comfort issue . I checked the air filter and found good . I checked the flame sensor and the gas pressures and found low fire was set to high I adjusted, and high fire was set correctly. I went through the thermostat settings and found good. I checked the thermostat with a thermometer and it matched . I couldn’t replicate an issue . This could be considered an intermittent issue and can take multiple visits to pin point. The tenant will let us know if the unit drops out . The is running behind this time of service. I sent a payment link to the landlord for one $193.55. Also left an estimate for a contract for the landlord to look over contract price is $189.00 this would give you 15% discount on parts and labor and gives you priority service at diagnostics at $ 84.15 to start.

I Arrived to the customers home for a heat pump check up on a 1 yr old system . I checked all electrical connections and voltages . I checked the air filter and replaced, filter size is 20x20x1 . Inspected the indoor coil and inspected electric heat package. Took temp splits for the electric heat and blower motor amperage draws. I looked at the outdoor heat pump and tested for an outdoor btu output. Inspected the outdoor components and unit pressures. Everything is working fine at this time of service.

Installed new Goodman air handler. Reused return drop and made custom supply transition. Installed blower surge protector and EZ trap. Adapted to existing condensate. Installed 10kw heat kit. Reused existing thermostat. Installed new 2.5 ton Goodman heat pump on new pad and snow legs. Installed disconnect with surge protector. Flushed lineset. Tested all operations and cleaned work area.
