Found outdoor unit locked out on H5 error code which means “5 times P2 lockout” in 100 minutes. Enabled extended defrost run time dispswitches at outdoor control. Put probes on refrigerant service ports and ran system l monitoring system pressures. Pressure were good and system went into defrost at 64 psi true suction about 25 minutes into run time. 310/86 with outdoor temperature 37°F Setting the defrost dipswitches should prevent this from happening again. Also told them they can select Mode “Emergency heat” in the future to use the propane furnace should the heat pump not be working for any reason. System operating well at this time.

I arrived to the customers home for poor sporadic heat. She says the baseboards will work at one moment and then not work at all now both zones don’t wanna work. I checked both my thermostats. Both are getting a call down to the boiler and turning the circulator on the boiler the heat is holding around 185 190. I tried to bleed zone one and two and the water is barely trickling out of the zones, the supply pipes the boiler are very hot and the returns are cold. This is telling me that my circulator is not moving water. I did amp my circulator was .70 amps and I’m getting a call for the circulator for 120 V from the aqua stat. I did collect 50% for the circulator and the drain down and refill including the diagnostic. Paid by check . She will pay the balance on completion.
