Arrived to replace a failing furnace control board. System was intermittently not heating. Removed the old control board and traced out each of the wires and landed them on the proper terminals on the new board. Wired in an additional ground and verified there is a common wire to the thermostat. All of this is in an attempt to keep the control board from having a similar failure in 6 months. Fired system up and verified operation. Furnace is operating properly at this time.

1-20-25 Room 312 on the 3rd floor around the steam radiator there is condensation on the ground, and the wood floor is stained. I found the supply steam dielectric union is badly rotted and leaking. Ordered and picked up a new half inch dielectric union. Installed the new union and found the return line after the steam trap which I tested is clogged. This radiator and the one to the north will not work. However, the units on the second floor are working fine. There is a clogged line on the return between the second and third floor right now. At this time I’m not gonna do a repairs per Mother Amy

Upon arrival I began the furnace tune up. First, I ran a static pressure test. Your system is rated for a maximum static pressure of .5 and the test showed the system at .4 which is at 80% of the maximum which is exactly what the manufacturer wants it to be at. Next, I checked the running amps on the inducer and blower motor. The inducer was amping a little high and the blower motor was as well. I found out the reason they are amping higher than normal is because the blower wheel is clogged up with puppy hair and debris which makes it harder for the wheel to spin. This is another reason why the whole home isn’t warming like it should because the blower wheel isn’t spinning fast enough like it should. I took a temperature split on the unit and it was at 139 degrees - 72 degrees = 67 degree temp rise. The manufacturer specs says it should be between 40 & 70 degrees so we are right at the top of the temp rise range. Once the blower wheel is cleaned, it will help with heating the home much

Found hole in hx. Customer has home warranty

Arrived to remedy an inoperable furnace. Upon inspection of the system found it displaying an idle code and would reset the board, despite having a call for heat present. Verified all voltage is in the proper places. Determined there is an internal failure in the control board. Without a supply house open ant this time am unable to perform this repair. After cycling power and cycling through the menu options on the control board the system is responding to commands from the thermostat. Showed homeowner how to reset the system and hopefully get it running if it stops heating again this evening. Will return Monday morning with correct parts to perform repairs.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Verified operation of the heat pump and temperature split. Switched system over to emergency heat for the gas furnace. Set up for combustion analysis temperature split and static pressure tests. Found that the system is operating with higher static pressure than the manufacturer would approve. Verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the furnace. Checked blower for cleanliness and to see if there is any play in the bearings. Found that the fan for both heating and cooling is coated in dust. Checked systems heat exchanger to ensure proper venting of flue gas. Verified operation of the humidifier. Found manual dampers in the ductwork restricting airflow. Spoke with homeowner about the system. Furnace is operational at this time.

Water Heater Replacement: A failing water heater with frequent breakdowns was replaced with an energy-efficient model. The upgrade improved reliability, reduced energy consumption, and provided a steady hot water supply for the homeowner.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Started inspection with the furnace in the basement. Set up for combustion analysis temperature split and static pressure and carbon monoxide tests. Found that the basement system is operating with failing static pressure. When doing this test on the upstairs furnace found dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in the air stream. Reached out to a field supervisor to finish the diagnosis on the basement systems static pressure and verify my carbon monoxide readings. Verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the furnace. Found that the basement systems fan is slow to start and is drawing more power than it should, but still within specifications. It also appears that the motor for the fan has lost the grease to its bearings. Checked blowers for cleanliness and to see if there is any play in the bearings. Found that the fan in each system is coated in dust debris. Checked systems heat exchanger to ensure proper venting of flue

Upon arrival, customer was having intermittent furnace issues. I tested system and found that it was getting hot and the gas valve was intermittently movie and the system was overheating. System was 20 years old and had major thermal stress on heat exchanger. Customer decided to have furnace and AC replaced. I seen that the expansion tank on the water heater was resting and leaking so I recommended getting that fixed before turned into a bigger leak or potentially flooding the basement customer requested that I take a look at the water heater and see if it would be better to replace it. I found that it was 12 years old and had a couple small deep spots so customer decided to replace it. Spoke with manager to see if we could get a discount on getting the full system installed and agreed to give a 20% discount if it is done to fill our spot tomorrow Customer agreed to have that done and also have a humidifier installed. Tried to contact customer son to go over everything but he was unava

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Set up for combustion analysis temperature split and static pressure tests. Found that the system is operating with failing static pressure. Reached out to a field supervisor to finish the diagnosis on the systems static pressure. They are tied up at this time, but set a time for them to finish the diagnosis on Thursday morning. Verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the furnace. Found that the blower motor is drawing its maximum rated amps. This only happens when the motor is close to failure. Checked blower for cleanliness and to see if there is any play in the bearings. Found that the blower wheel is heavily coated in dust debris. Checked systems heat exchanger to ensure proper venting of flue gas. Found hot spots indicating that the system is operating with poor airflow. Furnace is operational at this time.

Preformed plumbing inspection, showed findings to customer, turned over to supervisor

Installed new expansion tank, Air separator,and fill valve

Call not run. Advised cycling power. Still no heat. Will schedule first call.

Came out here for a furnace tuneup. Upon arrival tested static static was passing. No carbon monoxide within the ductwork. Nothing was wrong with the unit. Replaced filter cleaned out flame sensor. Make sure that the unit was running perfectly fine. Did notice that the blower wheel was dirty customer decided to hold off on getting that cleaned. Besides that everything else is looking pretty good on the unit. Thank you for choosing LBA services. - Ramon
