Downingtown, PA

Arrived for a comfort issue. Customer showed me a video of the blower motor coming on and off. I went through his thermostat settings and found the thermostat was wired ok . I went down to the furnace and checked the wiring connections, drainage , and blower capacitor. I couldn’t replicate a blower issue at this time. This can be an intermittent issue and can take multiple visits to resolve. I did show the customer how to look for error codes and I showed him his condensation pump and what to look for if it freezes the 3/8 tubing if it indeed goes outside. Possibly could be a thermostat issue dropping the blower motor or the condensation line is freezing causing the safety to trip. The system is running fine at this time of service. I collected for $99.00 paid by cc.

I arrived to replace a customers control board. Last time I was out board was doing all kind of crazy stuff and I could not adjust fan speed was staying at 1900 CFM‘s for high heat is now at 1700 which is fine. Heat is back up and running at this time of service. Customer will monitor new and furnace operation, I collected for $302.81 paid by check .

Estimate

Made some adjustment to the thermostat settings as well as the unit it was a beautiful install and very well put together. The noise was coming from his register vent, vibrating not actual unit Pulled the vent cover off and the noise stopped . change settings in the thermostat so the house would reach temperature. It’s a three ton system heat pump with 10 KW that’s a very small home. No reason why it cannot reach temperature. It was beautiful flawless install . We’re going Friday to remove the tank with a half a tank of oil in it. The issue with that is we do not have anywhere to put the hose in from outside to pump out.

Found outdoor unit locked out on H5 error code (5 times protection in 100 minutes) Before resetting power I enabled to two defrost dipswitches on outdoor unit. Control will check if defrost is needed more often and defrost will run for 60 seconds longe now. Reset power with refrigerant probes and temp clamp on high side pipe. Pressures and temperatures Good. Unit went into defrost once. I also compared my pressure and temperature readings to what the control is identifying the high side temperature and pressure to be (effectively checking the pressure transducer). Control is reading pressure and being 304. Measured pressure is 310. Transducer is good. Unit ran in heat pump mode the entire time I was here 45 mon or so. No issues with pressure lockouts. Temperature rise 68-98=30° Good. System operating well at this time.

I Arrived to the customers home for a heat pump check up on a 4 yr old system . I checked all electrical connections and voltages . I checked the air filter and replaced, filter size is an 413 and serviced the customers 700 humidifier and tested . 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. Will need to price out for an outdoor temp sensor for his Amana inverter. For now I did adjust the sensor and now is reading 23° instead of 71°.collected for 413 air filter and #35 water panel $126.15 paid

Estimate

Fully assessed no heating situation found 2018 Amana heat pump system locked out again on high-pressure lockout. Homeowner had some more information since the last tech was here. He noticed that the airflow to zone two, which is the second floor upstairs was not as good. Went upstairs in the attic And put a meter on the Zone panel and found 24v at panel and at damper but zone 2 10x20 zone damper was stuck closed. Forced damper open 1/2 way for the time being. Zone damper is working intermittently and needs replaced. Provided estimate to replace zone damper. Explained to homeowner that it will probably overheat this zone until zone damper is replaced because air will constantly go there. Reset breaker in basement and checked 410a pressures they were 285/71 very good. Ordered zone damper from distributor ( our warehouse guy) . Homeowner would like zone damper replaced before 12/19/25 they are going away.

Add water and check for leaks ok no leaks present. I bleed all three lines and test operation ok cycle boiler ok. I noticed gas valve assembly leaks gas at some times. Would recommend replacement of gas valve assembly. Quoted for repairs. I will talk to Joe about this call we will send an estimate to replace boiler,

I arrived to the customers home to service their 3 old oil furnace system. I started with checking the air filter , the customer services his air filter. I checked all my electrical connections and voltages. I checked and replaced my strainer and nozzle , and the oil filter. I inspected and set my electrodes for proper gapping for optimal performance. I inspected the flue pipe for corrosion and pitting. Inspected my heat exchanger and the chimney for clearance. I bled the oil burner and tested system for smoke and combustion. I took temp rise splits at the return and the supply. Everything is running fine at this time of service. The calls are covered. Serviced the heat pump side of the system and checked charge and temp splits.

12/8/25 Tan Performed quality assurance on newly installed Trane heat pump from 12/3. Previously an oil system converted to straight heat pump with electric heat back up. 2 stage system with 10kw electric heat stripe. Client stated noise occurs when it changes from 1st stage to 2nd stage. I found vent that comes directly at top of air handler is the source and that’s where client explained the noise comes from. Majority of the air hits that vent first before hitting the other supply duct so I turned damper to reduce airflow. Noise is reduced and client is happy with changes. Wiring was incorrect as Y2 from outdoor was wired to YO indoor and Y1 from outdoor was wired with Y1 indoor. I made the changes so it can properly change stage. Dip switches set for 3ton on system 310cfm. Total static was close to .7”. When I changed to normal rate of 330cfm per ton, noise was excessive and static increased to over 1”. Confirmed all returns and supply vents open and filter was not restricted. I cha

I arrived for no heat. Customer had told me that the furnace had stopped working and wasn’t coming back on went down to the unit. His phone was saying heat was on, but the board wasn’t doing anything. I reset the unit the furnace came on the board was doing some crazy stuff, bringing on the first stage pressure switch second stage lightning igniter far off the burners then shutting off and then it just started to run steady but I could not adjust fan speeds it was running at 1900 and it’s good to run at 1500 1600 . Customer had told me their power had been going on and off in the fall and they had to replace a board in their stove recommending to replace the furnace. Please check for warranties I collected for my time for diagnostics paid by check.

Luis 12-5-25 customer called in for heater not working. Found heater running upon arrival on an error code pressure switch found water inside inducer assembly drain assembly and test system operation after draining assembly system came on properly. I would recommend adding drain kit on exhaust pipe to prevent this from happening again. I’m also included ez trap for ac drain system since is in series with heater drain. I emailed estimate. As I mentioned it during heat tuneup system goes off on high limit at least once every call for heat. I also provided estimate to add return grill near rerun duct and add two supply grills at the mechanical room. This will help the unit breath better.

Luis 12-5-25 customer called in for heat pump not working ndoor unit attic works but no outdoor found unit off on high pressure lockout reset unit and test operation monitor presses for over 45 mins ok unit did not go off on high head, check air filter 313 ok. System is zone two zones. Second floor and addition area. Maybe issue was when small thermostat was calling for heat and created high pressure. At this time not sure what the exact issue was. Unit is working normally at the time is service. Customer will call back if they still have issues with the unit.
