Job Locations and Reviews
Ramon was great, perfect individual in a customer facing business. Very thorough and explained everything so the normal customer can understand

Came out here for a furnace tuneup upon arrival tested static static was passing no carbon monoxide within the ductwork, as well as my combustion analyzer showed me no concerns within the unit clean flame sensor filter had been replaced a day before by customer so it was still clean. Checked all amperage within the unit to make sure that it was working fine. The only concern we came across today was the blower wheel being extremely dirty customer was made aware and was going to think about getting it cleaned. Thank you for choosing LBA

Today the focus was on the rooftop unit that is the furthest to the North. This unit has had a new inducer motor and assembly installed in the recent past. After the motor change the unit ran however today I discovered that the unit would not bring 24v to the ignition module. A limit switch was reset (supply compartment) and the unit was then cycled twice. The temperature split for this unit was checked and is in range. The system was then cycled and left to run via the thermostat. The clearance between the unit and the metal enclosure that shields the equipment from eyesight is shorter than the manufacturer’s specifications. These units have been in place for 7 yrs. This is a new location for my company and I do not have the history of these units. At this time the unit is functioning. Thank you, Jon Tech notes: ZF240N40B4C1AAA1A1//N1L7238332, temp split 63-106, Econ disabled yrs ago, filters recently changed, minimum clearance 3’ (clearance from combustion intake 7.5”, c

Upon arrival I began the furnace tune up. First, I ran a static pressure test. This system has a maximum rating of .5 static pressure. Your system is testing at .44 which is below the max. Next, I checked the running amps on the blower and inducer motor and both were amping within specifications. Cleaned the flame sensor and cleared all the hoses and pressure switches. I took a temperature split on the system which was at 35 degrees which is within manufacturer specifications. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us! Your LBA Technician, Tyler Rickard P.S. No payment was due for todays visit, it was covered by your membership. Have a great New Year!

Happy call

Jackie, Unit #6 that serves the auto shop is the unit located furthest to the North. This unit has an inducer motor that has failed. This motor is necessary for the proper function of this unit in heat mode. It is also needs to function for the burners to light. Due to this the unit cannot be further evaluated until the motor is functioning correctly. There has been previous modifications to the electrical wiring that serves this motor. This repair bid includes a new motor and wheels as well as the time to check the wiring to the motor for any improper wiring. New filters for this unit are also needed and are included in this estimate. Unit#5 is in need of new filters as well. In addition to this a new thermostat will be installed to replace the thermostat that has a damaged screen. This is a time plus materials estimate for the repairs and filters listed above (new filters x 16, new inducer motor and wheels, new thermostat, confirm wiring to inducer motor, check function

Quote drain replacement

DATE: 8/19/24 Detailed description of what was done today: arrived at home and spoke with Brandy about reasons I was called today, which was a kitchen sink drain backing up. After doing full inspection of kitchen, drain and all other plumbing amenities gave her a wear and tear of a drain clearing special. After removing P-trap saw that the street way into the drain line was completely corroded and rusted over and just fell off. and scheduled a follow up for a plumbing service tech to quote and install new piping of kitchen drain. Wear and Tear: -Drain chlorine special. Major pipe repair tier 5. After reviewing the entire house I went over everything with Brandi to ensure they understood everything going on in the house and what could be done to address it.

Tough to do *((()(()((())(((((((())(()(((((() During this visit I replaced the variable pitch pulley that drives the blower motor assembly. The pulley was adjusted and tightened to fit the belt. The belt rests very slightly below even with the outer edge of the pulley. The pulley was aligned with the motor shaft and the height was adjusted to be even with the blower assembly wheel. The set screw was tightened against the shaft key and then the motor was loosened on its sled. The shaft key alignment and proper height took several attempts for proper alignment. A new belt was installed and the tens

Picked up parts

During this visit I I asked to walk the building to observe where the rooftop units enter through the roof as well as the location of the thermostats. During this walk it was determined that cooling was lacking in three sections. These areas are the north paint area, the south paint area and the service bays on the S.W. Side. Rtu #3 was found to have a failed indoor motor pulley and belt. Several attempts to remove the pulley were unsuccessful. The pulley was treated with a penetrating spray for removal. Rtu#4, the thermostat for this unit has a failed screen. Information was gathered from the thermostat for contacting the company that manages the thermostats since this thermostat is communicatig with a third party T-stat managing company. All information needed was gathered. The system was not checked through all functions today and will be checked thoroughly on Friday. Rtu#5, this unit was not checked due to the day ending. I spoke with Jackie and arrangements were made to

Arrived with Fletch to talk options on moving system. Wanting to finish basement. Checked out full system. Rinsed coil clean and replaced filter. Fletch will be presenting with you. Thanks for choosing LBA. ———————————- Blake and Amanda appreciate the information and want some time to speak amongst themselves. We asked them to write down any questions they came up with so we could address them when we return on Wednesday, August 7. They are leaving for a vacation to Branson Missouri and want to put their attention on that and tackle the remodel when they get back. Return visit will be scheduled that morning with a phone call.
Service

At arrival the customer explained that when the guys came to do the duct cleaning they removed the comfort sensor and didn’t put it back. I have replaced it back to where it should go. Bill also explained that the guys also removed a fire detector and put it outside and never put it back in which is dangerous and Bill told me he has written in to the company about this but I wanted it recorded more than one place so nothing like this happens again. Have a nice weekend and call if you need any assistance.
Not the quality of service I’ve come to expect from LBA. I didn’t get a text or email with picture of the personnel prior to their arrival. Furniture was not moved back after service. I got only a partial picture of the full report I expected.

Estimate

Customer stated system is very loud on start up. Made adjustments to system and system seems to be quieter, will need customer to confirm and make sure it is satisfactory.

When I arrived I found that the return temp was very high and are supply was within that target. Found that the economizer was set at 40% min. Position changed to set point 10%. Verified my temps split after and we had 74 return and 55 supply which is within range.

Duct cleaning at a residential home. We meticulously cleared out dust, debris, and allergens from the ventilation system. The thorough cleaning will improving indoor air quality significantly. The customer was pleased with the service.

I was having a problem with a noise in part of my humidifier, and Jesse immediately identified the cause and solution. All the LBA employees I have interfaced with over the years have been polite, respectful, and knowledgeable. They know what they are doing and work quickly and efficiently.
