Upon arrival I began the furnace tune up. This house has 2 systems total. One controls the left side of the home and the other, the right side of the home. I am starting with the left hand side unit. I did a static pressure test on this unit. It has a max rating of .8 and the unit is testing at .85 which is above the max. Customer is aware and doesn’t wish to make any further changes with the static pressure on either unit. We have made airflow improvements to both systems. The right hand side unit has a static rating of .8 also but it is testing at .78 which is high but not failing. I checked the running amps on the inducer and blower motor on both units. The inducer motors were both within specs. The blower motor on both units were overamping the rating of 6.6amps. They were both amping around 7.5amps and this is due to the high static pressure. Everything else checked out with both units. They are both safe to operate at this time. If you have any questions or concerns please feel

Arrived for ac tuneup today for two systems. There was a concern about the humidity in the home, a field supervisor was routed out to discuss this issue. Checked all electrical and running operations on both systems. All operations are within specs at this time. Rinsed coils clean of debris. Systems running upon departure. Thanks for choosing LBA.

Arrived for an tune up on two systems. Tested static on both systems and found them failing. Jill has already done work to help the static and did not want anyone out today. Both inside units tested within specs and are in good shape. The outside units are testing within specs to. The coils were dirty on both and I recommended an Ecc on both. I also recommended a hard start kit on the 2016 Lennox unit to,help the compressor. Both were declined at this time. Systems running upon leaving.

AC Repair Service: I cleared a clogged condensate drain line at the client's residence. This involved removing blockages, cleaning the drain pan, and ensuring proper drainage to prevent water damage and mold growth. Keeping the drain line clear is essential for maintaining the system's efficiency and indoor air quality.

Arrived at the customers home for no cool over the weekend. Customer told me after switching from heating to cooling her thermostat set point would not go below 90 degrees. She called Honeywell and they got the thermostat reset and the set point for cooling lowered. Over the weekend the system would not cool below 81 degrees. I put the system into cooling mode and began by checking static pressure. I found static pressure to be failing at this time with the system having a max static of .8 and I got a reading of .76. I changed the furnace filters, and verified all vents and dampers were open and retested the system. Static pressure was still failing. I performed a temperature split between the supply and return air which was 20 degrees. I moved to the outdoor unit and checked all electrical and refrigerant levels which were all within manufacture specifications today. System is operating and cooling properly at this time. I spoke with the customer about monitoring the system for now a

Indoor Air Purification System Installation: Dedicated to enhancing indoor air quality, we collaborated with a residential client to install an advanced indoor air purification system.

3/19/24 Sent out today to Connie’s for their annual membership plumbing inspection. Upon arrival I was greeted by Connie who I went over the purpose of today’s visit with and answered any questions they had to help set expectations. Vitals: -Total Dissolved Solids: 278 ppm -Water Pressure Static: 110 psi -Water Pressure Faucet Open: 57 psi (w/o prv) -Water Temp Setting: -Water Temp Output: 135F -Water Hardness: 10 grains of calcium per gallon -Water Quality: filter -Water Heater: 1- AO Smith, gas 2019, expansion tank, 50 gallon 1- State, electric 2015, 50 gallon -Water Lines: copper, pex -Drain Lines: pvc, abs Wear and Tear: -no pressure regulator, extremely high pressure After reviewing the entire house I went over everything with Connie covering options for: -install pressure regulator and set pressure to 75psi I made sure to go over everything and answer any questions to ensure they understood what was going on in the house and what we could do fo

Upon arrival customer was concerned because one of her vents was whistling pretty loud high pitch. I was able to open that register and the sound stopped. Checked static pressure which was failing at a .9 when rated for .8. We have already made improvements twice for the static and she doesn’t want to spend anymore money on it.

Heating System Noise Resolution: Investigating a heating system emitting strange noises, we identified a malfunctioning blower motor. Replacing the motor ensured proper airflow and resolved the noise issue. Post-repair, we discussed maintenance plans for ongoing efficiency and noise prevention, emphasizing the importance of regular checks.

Arrived to install a condensate pump up, installed new condensate pump, brand new waterline and installed a new drain, dumped 3 gallons of water through the condensate pump ensure no leaks at this time. Ran furnace for 15 to 20 minutes without it shutting down when it did shut down, it did satisfy the thermostat. Also put a 45 at the end of the pipe outside to ensure easy flow for the water to get out. System is heating like it should at this time.

Spoke with Mike on this call. Customer found out that the condensate line is freezing Nothing we can do about it until Thursday. When we put a condensate pump in to force the water out. Spoke with customer let her know.

Arrived to find drain to furnace frozen, Cleared drain for now. Talked to customer about a condensate pump to allow all the water to go out at once, instead of slowly trickling out In freezing as it’s coming out. Will need to return Thursday, January 18 afternoon to install condensate pump. Customer will not be home Tuesday or Wednesday. furnace is running at this time, but cannot guarantee the drain will not freeze again due to the location of where the drain is. System is heating at this time.

Airflow

For this job, I was arriving because the system was short cycling. I diagnose the problem and figured out it was because the furnace had two dampeners on it that were controlled by two separate thermostats. The thermostats were off by 1° and they were running a schedule. Because of this, they kept meeting the desired temperature in one room, and then cycling off only to cycle back on a few minutes later, to correct the temperature in a second room. While I was fixing this, I checked for static pressure and it was extremely high. The system is rated for .8 so we want to see a .6. However, we are seeing 1.5 because of this I called a supervisor out to diagnose the problem and come up with solutions to fix this. With static pressure that high the system will undoubtedly have issues in the coming years. Because this is a new system, we want to protect it for as long as possible .
