Pleasant Valley, MO HVAC & Plumbing Services

Went for a check in. Talked to customer about our membership. Did the transition. Will have membership for 1 year free. Once membership expires, renewal will have to be made. Installed smart ac sensors. Customer was able to login into account. Checked static pressure static was in factory specifications. System are both running before leaving. Thank you for choosing LBA services.

Went for a maintenance call today. Started at the furnace. Did a static pressure test, it was high. After adjusting the blower speed, it passed. Did a cubic feet per meter count, it passed. Temp split between the supply and return duct passed. Blower motor amperage passed. After analyzing the blower wheel, I noticed it was dirty. Changed filter due to being dirty. Outside unit got washed. The amperage for the compressor and the fan motor passed. The capacitor passed as well. Thank you for choosing LBA Services!

Customer declined

Gary and Cindy said they would have fixed the air flow when the equipment was installed a year and a half ago, but we hadn’t rolled out the airflow program yet. Got approval to offer retroactive airflow pricing, primarily for the 2 and 1 star duct packages. Cindy is diabetic and was hungry and overwhelmed. Following up on Monday so they have the opportunity to settle on their preferred solution.

Arrived for AC maintenance today. Started at furnace and checked static pressure, temperature splits, drains, filter, blower wheel, blower motor. Static is failing at this time, a field supervisor will be out to discuss. Put in our high velocity filter to ease some of the pressure. Wheel is starting to collect dust and could be cleaned. At the ac unit refrigerant was good. Capacitor is reading within specs. Running amps are good. I rinsed coil clean. System is running upon leaving. Thanks for choosing LBA.

Solutions: install new thermal expansion tank, replace under sink p trap Services done today: performed whole home inspection, gave quotes for repairs Thank you for choosing LBA Services Your technician, mick ____

Joy mentioned that the upstairs, particularly the room above the garage, has never really kept up when it is hot out. Her system is pulling in only half of the required air, causing irreversible damage to both her indoor and outdoor systems. The airflow system is broken. The air pressure at the system is so high that it causing the unit to “whistle”. Pulled registers to help relieve some back pressure as a temporary measure and increased the temperature at the thermostat so the system wouldn’t run as often. Joy said she needs to go over a few things. Joy wants to select and schedule her preferred option at that time.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Started inspection inside and measured a temperature split between return and supply air. Measured power consumption of the blower motor and checked system for cleanliness. Found bacterial growth present on the condensation pan for the evaporator coil and the blower wheel is coated in dust debris. Performed a static pressure test and found that the system is operating within manufacturers specifications. Went outside and verified system refrigerant charge. Verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the condenser. Rinsed coil free of debris. Spoke with homeowner about the system. Air conditioning system is operational at this time.

Performed full inspection, presented options for replacing a few issues. Performed water line check and adjusted to different location per request

The airflow packages and pricing vary per job. They also wouldn’t make sense to customers if a customer doesn’t know what’s going on. Only way for customer to understand wahatsngoinf on Andy the pricing included would be if we go over that stuff with them. That said we don’t just email prices because that would be in vain.

Showed customer failed airflow readings and why we were getting those readings. We talked about options and what could be done and what was most cost efficient. Customer would like a second set of eyes on heat exchanager. I left customer my number and set up a follow up call for next week.

Arrived for AC MAINTENANCE. Ran static pressure test and found it to be operating above designer max static. We opened up vents in the home and installed a clean filter. Static pressure dropped some but is still failing. With the inspection camera we found a crack in the heat exchanger. Showed home owner the crack and signed a red tag. Called out supervisor to finish diagnosis on static pressure. Ran amp draw on outdoor unit and everything passed. Good charge on refrigerant. Performed coil cleaning. AC is operating well at this time, furnace is disabled due to unsafe operating conditions.

Ductless System Installation: Responding to a client's need for targeted cooling, we suggested and installed a ductless air conditioning system. This addressed their desire for zone-specific climate control, ensuring customized comfort throughout the home. Routine maintenance checks were recommended to uphold the system's efficiency.

During maintenance I found that the customer flu pipe is in need of change left customer a quote. Everything else checked out nothing in need of attention today except what was explained

Furnace maintenance CO readings 0PPM, cleaned flame sensor, inspected burner compartment, inspected gas valve and pressures, inspected flue pipe, inspected draft inducer motor, inspected limits and safeties, checked all electrical connections, inspected pressure, switch, inspected heat exchanger, inspected blower wheel and blower motor, inspected circuitboard, tested amp draws, checked filter, cycled unit for proper operation

AC Maintenance Service: As part of AC maintenance, I conducted a thorough inspection of the refrigerant levels. I ensured that the refrigerant was at the correct level, which is crucial for optimal cooling performance and preventing potential damage to the system.

Replace the 240,000 btu dual circuit evaporator in the Lennox air handler serial 5616B05048. Price includes the factory replacement evaporator coil, liquid line filter dryers, evacuation, new R410a and labor. New evaporator covered by a one year parts and labor warranty.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Started inspection outside and verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the condenser. Checked the condenser for cleanliness. Moved inspection inside and measured a temperature split between return and supply air. Performed an enthalpy calculation and found that the system was not cooling at maximum capacity. Measured power consumption of the blower motor and checked system for cleanliness. Rinsed coil free of debris. Performed a final calibration on the systems refrigerant charge. See estimates for recommended repairs. Air conditioning system is functioning properly at this time.

Arrived at customers house to perform routine tuneup. Checked all electrical components and they were operating within manufacture specifications. Checked refrigerant levels which appeared low. The outdoor coil was very dirty so I performed an ECC and also re-leveled the unit. After cleaning the outdoor coil, I rechecked the refrigerant levels And they were well within the proper settings. Checked static, which was a bit high however, supervisors will be scheduled to make a visit. Thank you for choosing LBA!

Brought the pressure up to 250lbs, and searched for the leak in the evaporator using bubbles. The evap coil was exposed and the bubbles were applied to everything including both circuits, thermal expansion valves, cap tubes, end elbows, line sets next to the unit and outside at the condenser. I was unable to detect a leak using the bubbles. I did release the nitrogen (down to 50psi equalized) after the leak search and opened the low pressure switch circuit for the #1 compressor. This was done to protect it from starting while it has no refrigerant. AHU m/n TAA240S4D-1Y S/n 5616B05048

During this visit I discovered that compressor #1 was not operating due to a low pressure safety switch (18psi). I checked the schrader valves and braze joints outside. The inside braze joints, capillary tubes and the coil elbows that were accessible were checked. I did find that the evap coil is leaking refrigerant. A video was taken and is in service titan.
