Inducer has been replaced on crawl space unit left it up and running

Ductwork Repair: A homeowner complained of inconsistent airflow in their central AC system. After testing the duct system, I found several disconnected and crushed ducts in the attic. I repaired the connections, reinforced them with sealant, and added support to prevent future collapse. The homeowner reported a noticeable improvement in cooling efficiency.

Replacing inducer tomorrow on crawl space unit and installed smart ac sensor on main unit

Upon arrival I began the furnace tune ups. This home has two 3 ton systems. Both furnaces are 2014 Lennox so they are both 10+ years old. I started with a static pressure test on the main floor unit. These systems are rated for .8 maximum static pressure and the main unit is testing at .8(right at the max). Next, I did a CO test on the main unit. I got hits of CO on my meter at 129ppm(parts per million). Per EPA rules & regulations we are required by law to shut the units down by shutting the gas valve off. I have done this on both units because the 2nd floor unit was also leaking carbon monoxide. I took pictures of the heat exchanger the best I could. The blower wheel on both units are very dirty. My Field Supervisor Jamie has arrived to help find some solutions for the homeowner. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call us. Your LBA Technician, Tyler Rickard P.S. No payment was due for todays visit, it was covered with your membership. Have a great holiday!

Re piped lavatory sink with new 1-1/4 plastic pee trap and new pop up assembly. Tested for leaks everything looks good.

Arrived for furnace maintenance today. System is one year old. Static pressure is at a .5. Heat exchanger looks good. Carbon monoxide test was 0ppm. Blower wheel is clean. All electrical components are running properly at this time. I changed humidifier pad and made sure water is flowing properly. System is running well. Thanks for choosing LBA.

Upon arrival the homeowner explained that he’s had an ongoing issue with his Lennox AC/Heat Pump making very loud noises. I had the homeowner turn the AC on while I checked things out. I was unable to recreate the loud noise. I then had him switch over to Heat Pump mode and I checked for any noises with the homeowner outside with me. We were unable to recreate that noise but he had a recording on his phone of how loud it gets and it’s very loud. I advised him to try and take another video next time it happens and to call us immediately so we can get back out here and lock in a solution. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call us! Your LBA Technician, Tyler Rickard P.S. No payment was due for todays visit. Have a great rest of the week!

Gas company notified customer of improper flue and advised sealing chimney penetration, I was able to stretch flue to seat in chimney but was unable to seal it during visit, will need return visit to complete repairs.

Air Conditioner Repair Service: Resolved frequent AC unit circuit breaker trips by diagnosing a faulty compressor. Replaced the component to restore cooling efficiency and ensure consistent operation.

Did maintenances on three furnaces today. Started with the upstairs system. Did a static pressure test, it failed. Did a carbon monoxide leak test, there was no leak. After inspecting the heat exchanger, I noticed severe rust, but no cracks. Combustion analysis test passed. Tested for gas leaks there is no leaks. Gas pressure met factory specifications. Pressure switch passed. Temp split between the supply and return duct passed. Inducer motor amperage passed. Blower wheel is clean and blower motor amperage passed. Filter got changed. Next I did the main furnace. Did a static pressure test, it failed. Did a carbon monoxide leak test, there was no leak. Heat exchanger is In ideal condition. Combustion analysis test passed. Tested for gas leaks there is no leaks. Gas pressure met factory specifications. Pressure switch passed. Temp split between the supply and return duct passed. Inducer motor amperage passed. Blower wheel is clean and blower motor amperage passed. Filter got changed.

Increase the size of the boot, and the return to the transition. Install the register backside of platinum alleviate pressure.

Went for a service call today. Diagnosed a bad pressure switch and a bad control board. Thank you for choosing LBA services!

Customer declined water quality inspection and had water heater operating again before we arrived.

Completed 4 system maintenance and inspection. I cleaned up furnaces and flame sensors. I checked all components and amp draws. I tested airflow and temp splits. Airflow pressure on both upstairs systems are failed. I tested carbon monoxide on 3rd floor furnace. After inspection heat exchanger I found where heat exchanger is leaking the carbon monoxide into the home. The exhaust is rusting through and the 3rd floor furnace does not have a designated gas shut off. Exhaust is improperly ran as well. Main floor systems are running within manufacture specifications but do have dust building up on the blower wheels. Talked with customer about systems and they would like some time to decide what to do.

Upon arrival I began the furnace tune ups. This house has a total of 4 systems. I worked on 2 of the furnaces todays using their current membership to cover the cost. I checked the static pressure on both systems. They are both rated for a maximum static pressure of .5. Both systems were testing at the same reading of .68. I turned both of the blower speed taps in heating mode down 1 tap and that brought the static pressure down to .62. I checked the running amps on the inducer and blower motor on both systems and everything was within manufacturer specifications. These systems have a temperature rise rating that should be between 40 & 70 degrees. The main floor unit was testing at 50 degrees and the 2nd floor unit was reading at 45 degrees. I didn’t find any cracks in the Heat Exchangers at this time. I also did a CO test and found Zero PPM(parts per million). Both units had a Zero reading. I thought i smelled some natural gas so I tested each joint on the gas lines but found no leaks

Wasn’t able to speak with husband, asked that I call back tomorrow

Went for a furnace(s) maintenance call today. Started with the downstairs unit. Did a static pressure test, it passed. Changed the filter due to the old one being dirty. When looking at the inside of the duct work, I noticed a severe amount of dirt and debris. Did a carbon monoxide leak test, there was no leaks. Heat exchanger was in ideal condition. Temp split between the supply and return duct passed. Combustion analysis test passed. Inducer amperage and capacitor passed. Checked the gas fittings their was no leaks. Blower wheel was clean and blower motor amperage passed. Went to the upstairs unit. Did a static pressure test, it failed. Changed the filter, due to the old one being dirty.
