Springfield, PA

installed new trane tahm airhandler and heat pump outdoor. Built new return and supply. Tapped/caulked return and supply. Ran new power wire and installed new 60amp breaker for air handler. Installed new heat kit and blower surge protector. Installed new condensate line with ez trap and condensate pump. Ran new vinyl tubing from condensate pump to outside. Installed new trane thermostat and wired in low volt with safeties. Reused existing power wire from furnace and installed new outlet for condensate pump. Drilled new line set hole through concrete wall in basement. Ran new line set and connected to new equipment. Installed new trane heat pump on leveled pad and snow legs. Installed new disconnect with surge protector and wired into outdoor unit. Cleaned up work area and tested out equipment. Will have to return to complete ductwork modification and remove oil tank. Customer wanted to pay after we remove both oil tanks and job is complete.

3 Ton Carrier AC No cooling. Found failed dual run capacitor at outdoor unit. Failed on the fan side. So fan was not running. AC would run without outdoor fan. Verified integrity of compressor motor using megaohmeter: Pass Replaced and tested system. Completed AC tune up while on site: Aprilaire 413 filter ok. Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors. There is no surge protection on HVAC equipment. Left estimates for surge protectors Inspected drain and pump. There is no water safeties other than pump safety. Left email estimate for EZ trap and wet switch. Measured temperature split (72-54=18° Good) Checked R410A refrigerant pressures and diagnostics: Ok. There is a lot of fluctuation in head pressures: an indicator that there is noncondensibles in the refrigerant system. The system was more than likely not properly evacuated at install. This is NOT a safety concern at all just a matter of efficiency and performance. Refrigeration and or comfort cooling Systems with noncondens

Leak was at a 3/8” copper piece acting as coupler in the vinyl tubing. Ran new vinyl in one piece. No couplers. From, pump to utility sink Added treatment tabs to pump. Tested pump. Cycled AC. I did not thoroughly test the HVAC equipment today. Discussed options. Left email estimate for plan membership. She decided on diagnostic fee and replace vinyl tubing today,

PECO Air Sealing and Insulation Project * Perform blower door test and calculate target for the home. * Install rafter vents at attic roofline to ensure ventilation is not negatively impacted by adding insulation. * Move insulation and air seal attic plane with single part spray foam and place insulation back into place. * Add more insulation into attic space with blown in insulation to achieve desired value. * Perform duct sealing for all accessible ductwork in mechanical room and crawlsapce area including register boots. * Perform CAZ testing including draft testing of appliances and combustion testing under worst case conditions. * Perform test out blower door test to validate results from air sealing.

Moved trane heat pump over 3ft away from electrical meter. Pumped refrigerant back into outdoor unit and closed the ports. Cut the refrigerant lines and disconnected the low and high volt wiring. Leveled pad in new location and replace paved unit on top with snow legs. Reconnected refrigerant lines and low volt wiring. Installed new whip between disconnect and outdoor unit. Pulled vacuum below 500 microns and released refrigerant charge adding as needed. Reviewed changes with customer and cleaned up work area.

AC tune up on Bosch 3 ton heat pump replace air filter check electrical components and connections. Check supply and return air temps flush drain test pump ok. Check furnace blower motor and cap. Control module is getting warmer. Gas furnace is from 2012. Check outdoor unit refrigerant levels and electrical reading on control inverter board. No error codes showing. Added seal tite to outdoor wire coming from electrical panel. Cycle heat pump ok. Office to follow up with customer in regards home comfort consultant appointment.

Completed AC tune up for 3 Ton Bosch inverter system Replaced 16x20x1 filter Indoor and outdoor coils in good condition Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components; Measured temperature split and static pressure Inspected drains; clears EZ trap, tested pump; added treatment tabs to drain pan. I showed Fran that she can add hire vinegar to the trap and to the pump to help keep it clean. Once per month. Assessed refrigerant charge checked pressures. *Helped Fran replace the supply grille in bathroom. AC system operating well at this time. Fran renewed plan today.

Completed Quality assurance 3.5 Ton Trane R454B system. Air handler in attic. Assessed all aspects of install: mechanical, ductwork connections, wiring, control setting, drain piping. Wrapped EZ trap with foam tape insulation Set refrigerant sensor incorrect spot according to install manual Verified fan speeds. Fan speeds (dipswitches 1-4) were set for 4 tons high. I changed to 3.5 Tons. Went through thermostat configuration. Fossil fuel boiler as aux heat. Aux heat lockout temperature set to 40°F. Heat pump lockout off. Assessed refrigerant charge tested in cooling mode. Add necessary refrigerant to achieve target subcooling. Homeowner believes outdoor unit should be moved. I told him there’s no need to do; so those codes are for gas meters. Told him how involved moving system was. Wants river rock to replace what was used to level unit. Install fails QA inspection.
