Luis 1-9-26 customer called in for heat pump not working properly. Talk to customer upon arrival. Customer stated she recently had $900 electric bill. Went over system found system running on auxiliary heat only went outside and found system very low on refrigerant low pressure switch open. At this time would recommend system replacement, home comfort consultant to reach out to customer later on today.

Luis 1-9-26 customer called in for heat pump not keeping up found thermostat satisfied at 68 set 71 increased temperature on the thermostat and went outside. Check refrigerant levels on the Bosch heat pump. Noticed couple circuits started to iced up. Pressures were lower, I added 10 ounces 410 and pressures came back to normal. I check temperature rise 36 degrees with no electric heat. Cycle the heat pump couple times and thermostat satisfied at 72°. I also added dye to the system so next time when we come out to do inspection, we will need to check for any signs on an indoor and outside unit. No follow up needed until tuneup unless customer has other issues.

I arrived for a comfort issue. Thermostat wasn’t reaching temperature when I got to the house. Thermostat was set to 68° and was satisfied at 68°. I started with checking the air filter. It was ok but it is getting dirty almost 6 months . I started with the electric heat and that works fine . I started the heat pump and checked the pressures and looked at temp splits. System was running fine also tested in defrost mode. It struggles to run when it gets cold due to the auxiliary being locked out at 15°. Which if the auxiliary isn’t available to help with the heat pump it will drop temp in the house and if the filter is dirt as well. He did Agee to set it at 25° lock out . Collected for 84.15 diagnostic paid by cc.

Performed precision geothermal heat pump tune up on climate master geothermal system. Checked all electrical connections and components. Checked temperature rise it was 23 degrees. Checked water temperature split it was 8 degree which is good. Tested capacitor. Checked loop pressure. Evaporator coil is leaking refrigerant and geothermal will need replacing in the near future. 28x30x2 air filter is ok. Geothermal heat pump is working properly at time of service.

Luis 1-8-26 customer move in couple months ago and wants to go over HVAC system, went trough all systems and explain how they work and also what kind of systems are installed. Provided estimate for service plan. Gas boiler and two ac units. Customer would want to get pricing on new vents we will look into this and get back to customer. No tune up was performed today.

Luis 1-8-26 customer called in for no heat, heat pump with propane back up. Found thermostat calling for heat but no operation from heater, check low voltage connections there is no signal from thermostat,(thermostat is calling for no operation from stat) check voltage at equipment termanls between C and W/Y/G no power across these terminals. I bypassed thermostat and unit came on. Reset thermostat and thermostat started to work. No charge warranty.

Installed new control for the ERV and programmed control. Tested operation.

Fully assessed clicking sound situation. Gave system a call for heat several times and ran the fan in fan on was not able to duplicate the sound. More than likely the sound is the relay pulling in from the pressure switch in the ductwork that brings on the booster fan in the attic. Let Kathryn know that the best thing she could do from here is to video record it with her phone and send it into the shop to see the video and go from there . The system is functioning properly at time of service.

Fully assessed 2025 trane link heat pump. Found settings in the thermostat were good for auxiliary heat. Lock out for aux was 36 degrees. Did find that the thermostat was reading 65 degrees when it was 72 degrees in the home. Calibrated thermostat by 4 degrees to make temperature accurate, this will cause system to run less. Checked temperature rise it was 29 degrees. 454b pressures were good. Heat pump is working properly at time of service.

The return bays and grilles have plenty of drywall dust. Gave her (2) contacts for duct cleaning services ServPro and MoldNMore. Also provided estimate to clean blower wheel. Blower wheel should be cleaned after ducts are cleaned and I spring when we can use a hose to clean. She will contact duct cleaning companies and inform them that the returns specifically need attention. Noticed that there was no wet switch/flood safety in equipment pan. Provided estimate for wet switch/flood safety which will shut equipment down if water is detected in the pan. She will contact duct cleaning companies soon.

Luis 1-6-26 customer called for no heat, blank thermostat. Found open fuse. Check for any shorts loads and wiring. I seen red wire rubbing against metal. As soon as I move the wire fuse open again. Tape wire and test operation ok no other issues found. Heater is working.

Fully assessed no heating situation on recently installed trane 454b inverter. Homeowner mentioned that the breakers in his panel were getting hot and buzzing. Explained to him that he needs to get an electrician to look at that issue. Found 245 v at indoor and outdoor units. Found indoor control board give a refrigerant leak detection error. Found no oil around coil removed into fresh air and still not resetting, need to order a replacement refrigerant leak detection sensor under warranty. Customer is currently using a wood stove. System has 107 standing pressure.

I arrived to the customers home to service their 11 yr old gas furnace system. I started with checking the air filter and found good the filter size is 16x25x1. I checked all my electrical connections and voltages. I inspected and tested the burners , flame sensor and the igniter. 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 operation. I checked and tested for combustion and took temp rise splits at the return and the supply. Everything is running fine at this time of service.

Found failed pressure switch rated at -1.74” Measured draft pulled by inducer to be -2.15” more than enough, however electric Electrical contacts were not closing thereby preventing the trial for ignition of gas furnace from completing. Offered to install, configure universal pressure switch. Afterwards tested system operations. 16x20x1 filter ok Combustion test: Pass Jim is aware of age of system. I told him I would replace before it becomes a headache. Major component breakdowns will be very expensive. System operating well at this time.

No heat. NX Burner locked out at primary control. Found history of high ohms and failure to light in history using Beckett contractor/diagnostic tool. Roth oil tank is new. Tank is close to full. Found carbon buildup on 6-slot retention head also found one of the 3 arms of the retention head misshapen and popped off the head itself. Was able to clean carbon and pop arm back in bit recommend replacing this retention head. Also found burner configured for no post run time. I changed from 0 to 15 seconds. Will allow burner blower and squirrel cage to run for 15 seconds after oil solenoid closes; prevents carbon buildup on retention head and oil drip from occurring. Nozzle size .60 60A. I did not have this size today. Afterwards I bled oil line and allowed system to run. System ran without issues every time I cycled it on. Cad cell ohms are much better than what history showed on previous cycles. They agreed to retention head replace retention head. Collected for oil plan, half hou

Homeowner bought a new Nest learning thermostat. There are 5 wires between thermostat and furnace however the yellow conductor was not used and left behind thermostat and the blue conductor was used for Y1 contact. The yellow conductor is shorted. I had a spare Ecobee wire saver and tried to use with nest thermostat but determined the G contact on nest is shut closed and the settings screen is not accessible. It is possible that when homeowner put thermostat on wall with the shorted wire landed to it, it not only blew the 5A fuse but also it shorted the G (Fan) contact closed. I also took the G from automatic humidistat out of the equation to make sure it was not the cause of the G contact being stuck closed. I replaced fuse and wired original thermostat and powered thermostat back and tested system. Working well. My recommendation would be to install Honeywell smart thermostat with EIM. Provided email estimate for Honeywell S12000 Elite Pro thermostat with EIM. Will allow for use o

I Arrived to the customers home for a heat pump check up on their 6 month old system . I checked all electrical connections and voltages . I checked the air filter and found it needs to be replaced filter size is 20x30x1 . The customer will replace himself. Inspected the indoor coil and tested 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.

Cut access in drywall to open damper based on customers confirmation of location. We are not responsible for patching hole. 12/31/25. Used camera and cut acces holes. Found closed damper for duct run for office. Opened up damper and now there is heat coming out of the register. Vacuumed up drywall dust. Collected ballance.

Fully assessed no heating situation. When I first arrived, came out to the outdoor unit and found it running. Pressures were 348/87 410a very good. Temperature rise was 28°. Checked zoning in attic. Found downstairs zone for basement apartment calling for heat but zone damper was stuck shut forced open. Recommended replacing both zone damper which are older style. (1) zd 18x8, (1) zd10x8. Call distributor for pricing and availability. Oked pricing with homeowner, need to schedule a time to install. Ordered dampers. System is heating at time of service. Attic is small.

Fully assessed heat pump install by another contractor. Found that thermostat was set up correctly. After talking to homeowner the heat pump under about 20 some degrees was not keeping up. Went into cool cloud app, and found that the strip heater was never programmed into the software. Told control board that it has a 10 KW heat strip and tested operation. Strip heater came on correctly. Also checked R 32 refrigerant pressures they were good. Found no surge protection on the system inside or out provided estimates. Also provided information about our membership plan. Heat pump is working correctly at time of service.

Not keeping up. Found the system would go into an error 3.2 pressure switch not closing. I found debris in the inducer pvc shavings and at the port for the 1st stage pressure switch. I removed the debris and tested the pressure and the inducer vacuum pull to be sure the switch was working properly. Everything is back up and running no charge from new install.

Replaced disconnect and checked operation system is running to standards. Supply 100 . Presures 70 low 350 high in heating. 28 degrees outside
