Malvern, PA

Found auxiliary pan full of water and float switch tripped. Causing loss of power to thermostat. The “rain gutter” tube was detached at the inducer exhaust elbow. I reattached. Removed water from pan (12 gallons) And then tested for any other sources of water. Replaced 16x25x1 filter Combustion and draft tests: Pass Told homeowner to set FAN to “On” at thermostat for a couple days to thoroughly dry the blower compartment. Left estimate for wet switch/flood safety. More effective and reliable water safety. Left estimate for EZ trap for AC drain line, has overfill protection switch, Also recommend and provided estimate for running condensate vinyl discharge to the available standpipe at water softening system drain. See photos. System operating well at this time.

Fully assessed heat pump system. Gave system a call for heat and checked r410a refrigerant pressures. They were 281/72. Found when I tried to put defrost board in test mode system would not go into defrost mode. Defrost board has failed. Replaced defrost board and tested operation. Unit went through defrost cycle correctly. Temperature rise was 19 degrees. Heat pump is working properly at time of service.

Fully assessed heat pump. Checked 410a refrigerant pressures they were 288/71. Checked temperature rise it was 18 degrees. Checked thermostat temperature compared to duct thermometer it was the same. Tennet has a digital thermostat in the room that reads about the same as my duct thermometer. Did find at one point the thermostat did jump up 1 degree. Provided estimate to install a Honeywell t-6 thermostat. Thermostat is working pretty well at this time let maintenance know my findings. Atwater may install their own thermostat.

Luis 1-29-26 tenant called in because they were getting cold coming out of the vents. They also reset breaker at the basement unit. Found unit running upon arrival heating and thermostat satisfied. (No errors showing on HP)I increase temperature on thermostat and test operation, check supply and return air temps ok 25 degrees split on regular heat mode. With electric heat year rise increase to 64 degrees. Check refrigerant levels and pressures on Bosch heat pump ok check transducer for proper operation ok 4.9 dc volts and 2.9 dc head pressure 304. Cycle heat pump ok. No issues were found. I did replace 413 filter, by spring time filter will be super dirty.

Temperature of first floor when I arrived was 69°F Scold floor 70°. 1st floor Propane furnace installed June 2024 (in crawl space) was operating when I arrived. There was 1 error code E5 related to high limit when I arrived. I replaced 20x20x1 filter and extended blower off delay in heating to 180 seconds. Also bumped up the fam speeds by 1 on gas heating Verified Location and made sure exhaust pipe was clear of snow. Also cleared heat pump outdoor units of snow. Told them they will have to check this after every snowfall. Cycled system several times. No issues observed at all. Also tested the heat pump. No issues or error codes. Aux heat lockout 45°F. Compressor lockout 35° Homeowner mentioned that he would be interested in having a 6/2 wire ran to attic air handler for auxiliary electric heat. Took photo of 200A service panel. Panel is maxed out with breakers. 6/2 gauge Wire pull from garage to attic above 2nd floor would be very difficult

Found clogged 3/4” drain line causing WZ trap to shut system down, and severely clogged condensate discharge tubing preventing condensate pump for, being able to pump. Cleared clogged drain line. Installed new 3/8” vinyl discharge tubing Installed new 115V condensate pump. Tested system afterwards. Ran pump System operating well at this time. She paid with check. Would like us to mail hard copy of invoice.

1/13/25. Removed old bypass valve from tankless water heater ( was not an easy job). Installed new bypass valve and bleed air and checked for leaks no leaks found. Cycled both sinks in basement and delivered 120 degree water ever time. Tankless water heater is working properly, no error codes came up on display.

Performed precision heat tune up on (1) 2016 Lennox gas furnace and (1) Lennox heat pump system for loft area. Replace both air filters. Checked all electrical connections and components. Provided options for water protection for both systems. Checked temperature rise. Performed combustion test. Blew out tubing. Cleaned flame sensor. Homeowner wanted an estimate to flush tankless water heater, provided estimate. Found condenser fan motor for loft area bearings are failing, took video. Provided estimate. Both systems are 10 years old would recommend getting a consultation visit.

Fully asssed heat pump making noise situation. Checked temperature rise it was 26 degrees. R410a refrigerant pressures were 366/116 . Found grill outside making some noise put foam tape under grill. Homeowner played a video and it sounded like when the heat pump is running in defrost mode. Did not find any issues at this time. Heat pump is working properly at time of service.

Fully assessed heat pump operation. Checked temperature rise, temperature rise was 32 degrees. Checked 410a refrigerant pressures on the roof they were 333/108. Tested emergency heat. Heat pump is working properly at time of service. No issues at this time. During the cold spell in the 20’s heat pumps do struggle.
