Luis 1-16-26 return visit to install a drain pan for the humidifier and also installation of wet switch for humidifier pan, brake water safety between humidifier and thermostat this way customer will still have heat and just turn off humidifier. I also replaced feed tube drain spud and tray. Test humidifier operation ok no leaks.

Recovered 2lbs 11ozs of r 454b refrigerant. System holds 7 lbs 2 ounces. Definitely has a leak. When I first arrived found a lot of oil at the true suction line going to compressor. Used soap bubbles and found schrader core was leaking. Pumped up system to 450 psi nitrogen and checked over entire system. Found no leaks at any of the linset connections, or where it passed into a sleeve under ground. Also checked factory connections of txv, no other leaks found. With new schradder core valve in place system held for over 30 minutes. Vacuumed system down to 420 microns. Added in factory charge. Tested operation. Pressures were 283/65 heating test mode. Temperature rise was 18 degrees. Heat pump is working properly at time of service.

I arrived to the customers home for an ongoing noise. I turned on the heat pump system on and went outside to the pump and to me everything sounded normal and the customer said it sounded good. But he had told me that it’s an intermittent noise and it doesn’t happen all the time. So I forced the heat pump into defrost mode and then he said that’s it. That’s the noise. Now the customer is aware and that it is a normal operation for the heat pump to go into defrost mode during cold weather. The unit does sit up against their bedroom wall so they can hear it when they’re sleeping. I had mentioned to them when they are ready to replace the heat pump system that we can possibly move the outdoor unit to the driveway side. No charge for today recall .

Luis 1-16-26 customer called in for one room not getting warm air. Upon arrival test system operation and customer took me to the room she was having issues. I check airflow and I had good flow, Ceiling is 10 feet high and very hard to feel the hot air from ground level. Would recommend leaving door open and increase Temperature on thermostat when ever she has company. Mrs.Anderson uses other company for heating and cooling. She might call us in spring for ac tune up.

Luis 1-16-26 heat pump inspection, Nordyne heat pump from 2007. Talked to tenant upon arrival, I noticed thermostat set point is 78 and room temp 72. Customer stated maximum temperature they can get is 72 and unit runs 24/7. I check system operation, I check airflow and test 10 kw back up heat, check refrigerant levels and pressures, none of the issues found during last couple visits have been fixed. Air handler breaker issue, return duct has major leaks, Temperature reading at the filter box 60 degrees. There are two return grills in first floor that goes trough outside walls. Living room air temp 70 degrees. Tenant states they have to keep thermostat at 78 so the rest of the house stays warm. If they dropped thermostat to 72 house temperature only goes to 65 F. after testing system. Final recommendation will be installing floor grill with some ductwork modifications on the return. This will help eliminate leaks from walls. I would also recommend upgrading system to after and more eff

Wrong humidifier pad was installed. It was a moisture wicking style pad. Consequently the humidifier was leaking. Offered humidifier service. Cleaned housing, verified water flow. Installed new Aprilaire 35 water panel. Humidifier is being fed from the hot water line. We set the humidistat to 46% because he said he struggles to get above low 20s.
