Completed PECo tune up for 4 Ton Trane Heat pump. System is 90% efficient propane furnace/heat pump hybrid. Daikin furnace is from 2020 Heat pump and indoor coil from 2009. Configured thermostat in installer setting to lockout propane furnace when it is above 40° outdoor temperature. This will limit propane use to only when it’s necessary. Replaced 20x25x1 filter with 20x25x1 for now. Homeowner will replace. Recommend replacing every 4 months. Indoor and outdoor coils ok condition. Some biological growth. Left estimate for APCOX whole home air treatment system. Inspected drain and safeties. Equipment is in a metal pan. Has wet switch and pump safety but not an a trap. Explained, and left email estimate. Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors. Indoor equipment has surge protection. Outdoor equipment does not. Left estimate for surge protector. Measured temperature split: 20° Good Compressor megaohm test: Pass Checked refrigerant pressures/charge: Good System is operating

Performed QA on Goodman Gas Furnace for the 2nd and 3rd Floor of the home. Tested system in heating mode and performed combustion testing and measured gas pressure. Adjusted gas pressure to improve combustion. Tested the wet switch safety device. Reviewed Dipswitch settings on furnace. Completed checklist form in system. Reviewed installation with homeowner and spoke to him about adding an ez trap to the upstairs system for added water protection. Emailed estimate for the EZ Trap. Also recommended having maintenance done on both the AC systems.

Found failed inducer motor at 75,000 BTU natural gas furnace on third floor. 20 years old manufacturer date DEC 2004 Made sure there were no obstructions and that the inducer motor has truly failed. Inspected heat exchanger. Some rust, especially at eyelets. But passed smoke test. Had conversation with Alex. If he just replaces inducer motor replacement 1. There is a chance when the technician installs it the furnace will not pass a combustion analysis/test 2. Another expensive repair (control board, blower motor) may soon follow in the next few years or 3. Given the rust marks on the exchanger it will fail in a few years. For the sake of peace of mind and warranties I advised to replace the furnace. Set up consultation today for 6PM-8PM. Dillon. AC is 4 years old. An EIM with a 3 wire communicating thermostat is currently being used. Alex wants to use his NEST. There is 18/5 wire between stat and furnace. And 18/5 wire between outdoor unit and furnace. NOTE: blue and yel

Returned to site with replacement dual pressure switch. Upon arrival the system was turned off at the thermostat. Turned to heat mode and went down to the furnace. Found Blower Motor running and unit was in an EE1 Pressure Switch error code. Removed leads from both switches and found one pressure switch was intermittently closing while testing continuity. Reconnected the old pressure switch and tried to replicate issue. Installed new pressure switches and cycled system. Allowed system to run and found no issues. Measured Pressure across the first switch at -1.8” WC with the switch rated for -1.27” WC. The drain switch was pulling around -1.0” WC and it is rated for -0.1” WC. Measured amperage on the inducer motor. Tested combustion and gas pressure.

Performed QA on Goodman gas furnace install. Tested system in heating mode and performed combustion testing and adjusted gas pressure. Tested the condensation pump to make sure it was discharging. Cycled system multiple times. Reviewed programming on system. Completed checklist form in system. We reinstalled the UV Light but it was not wired into the system. The Ballast for the UV Bulb has brown markings on the side. Would recommend replacement of the UV light system. Did not wire the UV light into the system.

Arrived at no heat call for Goodman, gas furnace, turn thermostat on the unit and waited till unit Got a call for heat, unit failed to come on multiple times and was giving an error code. Error code indicated issue with the pressure switch. Pressure switch was taken off cleaned out and reattached and unit is working fine. Unit turned on and off multiple times while I was there and is now heating the home properly no other issues.

Performed gas heat, tuneup, checked electrical connections, low and high voltage ok replaced filter, cleaned sensor and spark igniter. Replaced filter. Performed combustion test check supply and return air. furnace keeps going off on high limit, all vents are close and blower motor is set to high speed. cycle heater couple times ok.
