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 then place insulation back into place. * Remove insulation in kneewall, Install new R-13 insulation and 2” Rigid Board insulation. * Add more insulation into attic space with blown in insulation to achieve desired R-60 value. * Perform duct sealing for all accessible ductwork in basement area including register boots. * Air seal rim joist and sill plates, and put insulation back into cavities. * 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.

8/20/25 Tan Performed quality assurance on heat pump with electric heat install done on 7/24/25. Tested electric heat and found operational. 19a at 234v at each strip. I should note that only 10kw is working for now even though it’s rated for 15kw. There was not enough room in the breaker panel to run to supply the additional 5kw. Homeowner is aware until they improve their home electrical system, it will only run with 10kw back up heat. Tested heating mode. Found 30° temp split. Pressures and temperatures look good reading from trane app. I turned on aux lockout at 45° to prevent electric heat from activating above 45° weather unless in defrost. Tested cooling mode. Ductwork was found sealed and properly installed. Condensate drain and ez trap are pitched as well as condensate pump being leveled. Surge protector found on blower motor. Filter is 22x20x1. Showed client how to change in future. Electrical wiring are secure and tight. Checked thermostat settings and found everything set

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,

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.
