Came out today for a hot water heater not operating properly. Upon arrival the homeowner stated that he got the system to ignite but it keeps going out. My recommendation is to replace the 40gal gas hot water heater. See estimate for details and photos. 2 men needed for stairs.

Performed preventative maintenance on Lennox Gas Furnace. Customer stated he has a MERV 11 air filter and will replace it himself when necessary. Cleaned and inspected burners, flame sensor and blower compartment. Completed a combustion analysis and the CO PPM was 4. System is working properly at this time and is ready for the season!

Performed preventative maintenance for a Payne furnace model #pg8maa036110adja, serial #1709a31025. I observed the system starting normally. I took a combustion analysis test and got the following readings, o2 is at 18%, co is at 5ppm and the system is operating at 76% efficiency. I observed the system shut down normally. Removed and cleaned carbon off of the flame sensor. Cleaned out the burners and burner box. Checked all electrical components needed for heating. The amp draw for the inducer is 1.67 amps and it is rated for 1.7amps. This is an indication that the motor is getting ready to go. Replaced the air filter 16x20x1. Homeowner already has an appointment with RC to get a quote for a new system.

Installation complete. Installed new Mitsubishi 18000 btu outdoor unit and air handler. Ran new high voltage, line set, drain, and put outdoor unit up on risers with new pad. Cycled and tested, system working properly at this time.

Customer called for no heat. Upon inspection I found the pilot out and the filter totally blocked up. Replaced the filter and relit the pilot. The thermocouple is 7 years old and should be updated due to age and the pattern that the thermocouple has been replaced. System is operating properly at this time. Due to age and condition system should be replaced in the near future. Water heater is also in poor shape that will most likely fail soon. Attached is an estimate for a new water heater. Recommend a commercial maintenance agreement with filter changes to keep up with filter change. This will prevent system failures due to dirty filters as well as keep the systems running without issue. This is a billout.

Customer called for no heat. Upon inspection I found the pilot was out. Relit the pilot and tested the system. I noticed the water heater was replaced at the end of September. Asked customer if they ran the heat at all yet this season. They just turned it on today. Seems like the pilot went out when they turned the gas off but didn’t relight the pilot. System is operating properly at this time. Did combustion analysis on the furnace as well due to start up smell. System was operating at 79.8% efficiency with a CO level of 21ppm. System is operating properly at this time. The thermocouple was replaced recently as well which wouldn’t have caused the furnace not to run. This is a billout

Performed preventative maintenance for high efficiency furnace. Inspected all the electrical components. Replaced the customer supplied air filter (16x25x1). Cleaned the burners, flame sensor and burner compartment. Confirmed proper high and low voltages. Made sure drain pipe was clear and pump was functioning properly. Performed humidifier service on new power humidifier. Customer replaced #35 water panel due to scaling midway through last season so I made sure humidifier was clean and left a new panel for the customer. Recommend humidifier water filter to prevent scaling and additional panel changes through the season. Performed a combustion analysis on the the furnace. System is operating at 94% efficiency with a CO level of 14ppm. System is operating properly at this time. This is a free with install maintenance,

Performed heating maintenance on condensing furnace in basement. Cleaned flame sensing rod. Customer changed filter prior to my arrival. Performed combustion analysis and furnace is venting properly with no carbon monoxide. Checked operation of condensate pump because furnaces condenser and condensate pump is operating properly. Tested and cycled furnace, furnace is operating properly at this time. Customer requested estimate for single zone ductless mini split for back sunroom.

Customer called for water from the air conditioning system in the basement pouring out water onto the floor and carpet. Upon inspection I found that the condensate pan for the evaporator coil was clogged. Cleared the debris away from the condensate outlet and made sure that the drain pipe is clear. Tested the system for several minutes to make sure everything was operating properly after the drain was clear. System is operating properly at this time.
Frank B.
Performed preventative maintenance for air conditioning system. Customer replaces filter. Inspected all the electrical components. Tested the temperature split between the supply and return. System is operating at a 20° differential. Tested the amp draw from the compressor, blower and fan motor. All were working with the manufacturer specs. Inspected the drain piping for blockage and condensate pump for proper operation. Confirmed necessary high/low voltage. System is operating properly at this time.

Returned to replaced failed TXV metering device. Recovered all the refrigerant. Installed new metering device. Performed a pressure test after repair. System had no signs of leaks. Pulled system down to proper vacuum. Filled system with factory charge 12 pounds of 410 a refrigerant. Tested the system for proper operation system is operating at 144/244 per Lennox chart. With a 6° subcooling and a 20° temperature split. System is operating properly at this time.
Paul A.
Found unit with a blocked air filter. Pulled filter started unit and found suction pressure low. Further investigation determined indoor coil was blocked and needed to be cleaned. Cleaned evaporator coil while in place with no rinse evaporator coil cleaner. Started system and verified split is good to ensure coil will not freeze up. If problem occurs again, we will likely need to pump down refrigerant and pull coil outside to thoroughly clean. Recommend air duct cleaning asap to remove lint from return ducts and supply.

Came out today to perform preventative maintenance for air conditioning system. Customer replaced air filter. Upon arrival customer mentioned that the system isn't cooling properly. Found minor ice buildup on evaporator. Was able to thaw quickly to test the system. On first glance with gauges on the system it looked like it was low on refrigerant. Customer approved the addition of 410A refrigerant. As I started to meter it in the suction pressure would rise but the liquid pressure would not. Found the TXV metering device to be malfunctioning. Will need to replace the 3 ton TXV Device and recheck the system when completed. I also recommend a condenser coil cleaning be done. Coil has heavy buildup and could contribute to other problems later on. See estimate for details. System is not operating properly at this time.
Paul T.
Performed preventative maintenance for a Lennox system. Checked drain pan and drain line for any possible clogs. Checked the evaporator and condenser coils for buildup. Checked all electrical components needed for air conditioning. Replaced Merv11 20x25x1 air filter (customer supplied). The temperature split is at 20+. The system is operating properly at this time and is ready for the summer season.

Performed preventative maintenance for air-conditioning system. Replaced the Merv 11 air filter in the fall of 2020 it’s not due for replacement till fall 2021. Inspected all electrical components. Tested the amp draw from the blower, compressor and fan motor. All are operating within the manufacturer spec. Tested the temperature split between the supply and return. System is operating with a 20° differential on a cooler day. Inspected the gravity drain to the condensate pump for any restrictions. Found no drain blockages at this time and the pump is operating as it should. Inspected all components within the condensing unit. System is operating properly at this time.
