Warranty coil

Upon arrival, I identified a clog in the humidifier's drain line. The existing Chanel tube drain line was replaced with a more durable PVC piping system to prevent future clogs. After the replacement, I turned on the humidifier to test the water flow. Unfortunately, the solenoid valve became clogged, disrupting the water flow. I promptly replaced the faulty solenoid valve and adjusted the water pressure to ensure optimal performance. With the new valve installed and the pressure adjusted, the humidifier is now running smoothly and efficiently. I left the site confident in the system's functionality.

As part of our service, I conducted a comprehensive plumbing inspection for a customer. During the inspection, I meticulously examined all plumbing systems, including pipes, fixtures, and appliances. I identified several issues, such as leaks, blockages, and potential wear and tear. I provided detailed explanations of each issue, highlighting the importance of timely repairs to prevent further damage. I presented the customer with detailed estimates for the necessary repairs, ensuring transparency and clarity. The customer appreciated the thoroughness of the inspection and the clear presentation of the estimates. She expressed her intention to review the estimates and contact us if she decides to proceed with the repairs.

I arrived to perform the agreed-upon repairs. I carefully disassembled the existing flue pipe, measured, and cut new pieces to the required lengths. After fitting the new pieces together, I ensured they fit perfectly between the water heater and the vent stack. I secured the vent piping, cleaned off hard water deposits, wiped down the water heater, and swept up rust from the floor. I re-lit the water heater and signed the homeowner up for a maintenance plan. The water heater is now venting properly.

Arrived to address an inoperable air conditioning system. Upon inspection, the thermostat was blank and the furnace was idle. While examining the furnace, the homeowner pointed out a leak above the water heater, which had corroded the vent pipe. This made the water heater unsafe due to potential carbon monoxide leakage. Further investigation revealed a blown fuse in the furnace. After replacing the fuse, I tested the system and found a low-voltage short in the outdoor unit. The contactor and capacitor were failing, so I replaced them along with installing a compressor start kit and new electrical connections. The system is now functioning properly. I will return tomorrow to replace the water heater vent pipe.

Upon inspection, it was determined that the evaporator coil had leaked out almost all of its refrigerant. To identify the exact source of the leak, I conducted a thorough leak test, which confirmed that the refrigerant was escaping from the evaporator coil. Given that the coil is still under full warranty, I ordered a replacement part. We have scheduled a return visit on Thursday morning to install the new evaporator coil, ensuring that the system will be fully operational and efficient once again. This proactive approach guarantees that the issue is resolved swiftly and effectively.

Upon receiving a call about a potentially faulty alarm, I inspected the grinder pit and found that the water levels were unusually low, which was the cause of the alarm. I thoroughly checked the wiring and confirmed it was receiving the proper voltage. After further investigation, it was determined that the alarm float needed replacement. The customer mentioned another company would be providing a quote, and they would make a decision based on that information.

We successfully installed a sump pump pit, ensuring it was properly positioned to efficiently manage water drainage. The installation included the addition of a pop-up assembly outside the pit. This assembly allows for easy access and maintenance while providing a secure cover. The pit was carefully excavated, and the sump pump was securely placed to prevent future water accumulation issues. The entire process was completed with precision to ensure optimal performance.

I performed a comprehensive furnace maintenance and inspection, ensuring optimal performance. I began by cleaning the flame sensor to enhance its sensitivity and reliability. The furnace was thoroughly wiped down to remove any accumulated dust and debris, promoting better airflow and efficiency. I meticulously checked the amp draws and all critical components to verify they were functioning correctly. Airflow was tested to ensure it met the manufacturer's specifications, and temperature splits were measured to confirm balanced heating. The furnace is now operating within the manufacturer's guidelines. Additionally, we discussed the possibility of renewing the club membership during the upcoming AC maintenance.

I thoroughly inspected all water fittings to ensure there were no active leaks, confirming the integrity of the plumbing system. I identified potential stress points on the expansion tank and installed a sturdy strap to support it, preventing any unwanted movement or damage. This proactive measure helps maintain the tank's functionality and extends its lifespan. Additionally, I checked for any signs of wear or corrosion on the fittings and tank, ensuring everything was in optimal condition. My attention to detail and commitment to quality ensured the system operates efficiently and safely.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Set up for combustion analysis temperature split and static pressure tests. Found that the system is operating with excessive static pressure. Verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the furnace. Found that the capacitor for the furnace fan is failing. Checked blower for cleanliness and to see if there is any play in the bearings. Found that the urn ace fan is heavily coated in dust debris and the motors bearings are worn allowing excessive play. Checked systems heat exchanger to ensure proper venting of flue gas. Removed the furnace fan to further inspect the rust found on the heat exchanger. Heat exchanger is heavily worn but is safe to operate. Furnace is operational at this time.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Set up for combustion analysis temperature split and static pressure tests. 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. Checked systems heat exchanger to ensure proper venting of flue gas. Verified operation of the humidifier. Relocated the ducting for the humidifier to enable the filter to be easily changed. Spoke with homeowner about recommendations. Suggested the maintenance plan to allow us to keep track of the systems performance. Furnace and humidifier are operational at this time.

Completed furnace maintenance and inspection. I tested components and amp draws. I cleaned flame sensor. I checked air pressure and temp splits. Furnace is currently 14 years old. I performed safety checks to make sure system is still operating safely. Today I found the hot surface igniter is starting to wear down. The blower capacitor is below the manufacturers rating so it is considered failed. This is causing extra strain on the blower motor. The blower wheel is full of dirt and debris. I showed customer findings today and customer decided to leave the system as is for now. The plan right now is to return in the spring and complete work on the system at that time.

Performed plumbing inspection for customer. Customer has no active issues at this time. We did discuss different repairs that can be made. Main recommended recommendation is to replace sump pump due to the age of the pump. Pump looks original to the house. Customer will discuss different estimate with spouse.

Went for a maintenance call today for heat for two systems. All electrical components are passing for manufacture specifications for both systems. Did a combustion test is within range as well, inspected heat exchanger no cracks/leaks were detected for both systems. Checked temp split and is passing for specifications. Did notice blower wheel been collecting dust due to not have filter frequently replaced. Did replace filters for customer. Cleaned flame sensor and pressure switch hose. Both systems are up and running before departure. Thank you for choosing LBA services-Johann

Went over multiple options for duct cleaning, sealing, blower wheel clean and ROM system

Completed two system, furnace, maintenance and inspection. I tested components and amp draws. I tested temp splits and cleaned flame sensors. I wiped both units down. I changed out. Customer provided air filters. I changed out the water panel for the humidifier. The blower wheel on the main floor system is getting layers of dirt built on the fins. I showed customer the current condition and due to it being colder out. I recommended that we revisit the conversation of cleaning the blower wheel in the spring. Both furnaces are operating properly at departure.

Dispatched for furnace not blowing hot air. At arrival Spire the gas company had the power and gas turned off due to the furnace not igniting. After a thorough inspection found the power to the furnace had vibrated out of the wire nut and caused a short in the system. After trimming and reconnected the wires the system is operating and tested amp draw on blower and inducer all components are operating within manufacturer specifications. At departure the system is heating and operating correctly.

Went over multiple different options with equipment replacement

Completed furnace, maintenance and inspection. I checked components and amp draws. I tested air pressure and temp splits. I changed out air filter with customer provided filter. I wiped down furnace and cleaned flame sensor. I tested for carbon monoxide which red at zero PPM. Furnace is operating within manufacturer specifications. I talked with customer and showed them the blower wheel and how it is starting to build up some dust. I recommended that we check it again during the AC maintenance and possibly clean it at that time. We also talked about whole home surge protection as well as individual surge protection for the furnace in AC. Customer would like to wait on that and talk with spouse for now.

Humidifier Installed

Tomorrow around noon

Completed furnace maintenance and inspection. Humidifier isn’t working. Furnace is operating within manufacture specifications. I cleaned unit up and checked components and amp draws. Customer opted to replace humidifier.

Customer called in about having a minor leak by water heater. Upon arrival, found a little water puddle underneath T&P drip tube. Checked inside the insulation of where leak is and it’s dry. Checked drips tube snd drip tub has moisture. T&P valve is leaking from water heater. Checked expansion tank and tank is full of water. This indicates that expansion tank has failed. Checked water pressure and water pressure is at 60psi. Pressure should be between 60-80psi. Educated customer on how each component works on water heater. Due to expansion tank failing, pressure building up inside water heater caused T&P to pop and relief built up pressure in system. Recommended we replace expansion tank and T&P valve as well. Gave customer options and customer opted to go with expansion tank and T&P valve replacement. Went ahead and replaced both components. Noticed lot of calcium build up and showed it to customer. Went ahead and did a courtesy water heater flush for customer to help get rid of as mu
