West Chester, PA

Arrived for no cooling comfort issue. Indoor unit is good when I went to the outdoor unit the fan would run, but not the compressor found dual capacitor has failed gave pricing in the customer she had approved for the work. I removed the failed capacitor and replaced with new And then tested system operation. Checked my pressures. Everything is back up and running at this time service

Full assessed no cooling situation. Found blower motor no operational. Found weak 10 mfd capacitor tested at 7.7 mfd. recommend to Brad to still replace the blower motor due to wear on the motor windings. Need to order o.e.m blower motor for air handler. System in in operation for now. A/c is working at time of service.

Right for no cooling in the attic. I turned the thermostat to fan on and I could hear the motor trying to start but not moving found variable board is shorted in the motor may have damage as well. There’s water in the pan and there’s water saturated all through the cabinet of the air handler. Unit may be low on charge causing all the water leakage and or may have a leaky pan. system is over 15 years old , customer would rather replace the system instead of putting a Band-Aid on it due to its age.

Checked the AC side of the system . Checked the air filter and replaced. Checked the wiring connections and the voltages on high volt and low volt. Inspected the indoor coil and flushed and tested the drain line. Checked the blower condition and inspected the blower amps and tested for static pressure. Went to the outdoor unit and inspected the wiring connections and the components . Checked and tested the pressures by using superheat and sub cooling methods. Checked the amps for the compressor and the fan motor and checked the indoor cooling temps at the supply and return. The AC system is working fine at this time of service.

Performed precision a/c tune up on trane a/c system. Replaced 16x25x1 air filter. Checked all electrical connections and components. Tested outdoor capacitor. Checked temperature split. Flushed out condensation drain. Checked refrigerant pressures and temperatures at indoor and outdoor units. A/c is working properly at time of service.

Estimate

Arrived to the customer’s home to give him an estimate on a new electric hot water heater. Customer was interested in getting pricing on a hybrid electric. I quoted him for an 80 and a 50 gallon . I also left pricing for a 50 gallon Rheem with water sense and a price for a 50 gallon Bradford white water heater. Prices are in estimates that’s also including the moving of the water heater and modifications to the water pipes.

Fully assessed no cooling situation. Brad installed hard start kit on heat pump system to get it running. Measured the resistance on the windings of the compressor and all 3 values are not the same between 2 legs is 1.9ohms but between other 2 is 3.5 ohms. Compressor is failing. Recommend replacing heat pump system. Brad would like to replace outdoor heat pump only. Let office know the details to give a replacement estimate. System is working for now.

Upon arrival, I cycled system in cooling and found outdoor fan was running, but compressor was not. Gave homeowner estimate to replace capacitor under warranty. Replaced capacitor and cycled system in cooling. Insured proper operation. System is operating appropriately at this time.

*check and adjust charge in warmer weather* Set new coil on existing furnace. Adapted to existing supply metal. Adapted to existing lineset. Adapted to condensate drain and added Ez trap safety switch going to pump and ran new vinyl. Wired in r454b mitigation sensor into existing furnace and added ez trap to existing safety wiring. Reinstalled intake and exhaust vents. Set new unit on new pad and leveled. Hung new disconnect box with surge protector and sealed to wall. Adapted outdoor unit to existing lineset. Brazed pressure tested evacuated and charged system. Made all high and low voltage connections to unit. Performed all test out procedures cleaned all work areas and reviewed installation with homeowner.

Reviewed filter access, filter is being taped on and metal is bent and making it difficult to get filter in and out. Recommend Aprilaire high efficiency media filter 16x25 2410. Need to create new transition to filter in attic space. Replaced filter and sealed when on site. Also recommended 1-2 hours of duct sealing in attic space to reduce air leakage and improve indoor air quality.

PECO Air Sealing and Insulation Project * Perform blower door test and calculate target for the home. * Perform duct sealing for all accessible ductwork in basement area including register boots. * Move insulation in rim joist, air seal rim joist and sill plates, and put insulation back into cavities. * Perform test out blower door test to validate results from air sealing. NOTE FROM INSTALLER: Air sealing reduction achieved (24 percent). Additional $200 in air sealing rebates added to invoice before payment.

6/26/25 Tan and Joe Arrived to address Bosch heat pump systems installed in 2022z Client (Tony) stated house gets humid around this time of year and ever since the system was installed, it never handled the humidity. Recently he discovered mold in basement area. Home has two systems: one for main area of home 1st and 2nd floor with thermostat on 1st floor dining room. Second system does the single room addition in the back of home. Checked settings and wiring for main system. It is a 4ton air handler with 5 ton outdoor. Found first and second stage wired at the same time which made it run at 100% airflow capacity at 1450~ cfm whenever it calls for cooling. We removed and separated the Y1 and Y2 wiring and wired them independently to thermostat. We soon discovered that the thermostat can only be set for 1 stage. We need to replace with a 2 stage thermostat T6Pro Wi-Fi for customer satisfaction. Now with the system calling for Y1 it will deliver about 1100~cfm to run longer and help w

Fully assessed no cooling situation. Found wet switch tripped and would not reset. Replaced water safety with new wet switch and tested operation.

Installed new Ecobee thermostat and wired in low volt with safeties. Adjusted water mixture in well up to manufacture standard. Cleaned up work area and tested out equipment. Could not test back up heat due to generac box not sending power through to the unit. I informed customer she needs to get an electrician to look at the generac box and then we can test out the back up heat.

Customer called for outdoor unit short cycling, found unit satisfied upon arrival, turned thermostat lower to test operation. Check indoor airflow 18 degree split. Check drain pump and trap ok. Connected gauges to check refrigerant levels and pressures ok. System is working normal. No issues found. Told customer to monitor unit next days and if unit keeps doing that we will need to advanced troubleshooting, potentially txv, compression issues or electronic issues. At the time I could not find any issues with unit.
