Gas valve and heat exchanger has some issues. Furnace is red tagged. Thank you for choosing LBA services!

Upon arrival I began the furnace tune up. First, I ran a static pressure test. This system is rated for a maximum of .5 static pressure and it is currently testing at .57 which is above the max. Next, I ran a CO test and got a hit for Carbon Monoxide. I took a temperature split on the system. It was at 149 degrees - 72 degrees = 77 degree temp rise and the maximum temp rise should be below 70 degees. I turned your gas valve down a little bit so it’s not burning quite so hot. I checked the running amps on blower and inducer motor. The inducer is amping a little higher than normal which is caused by the static being too high. I looked over the heat exchanger to see if I could find any cracks but I couldn’t find any with my limited reach. We did get consistent CO hits each time I tested it. Per EPA Rules & Regulations we are required to turn the gas to the furnace off and place a “Red Tag” on the system which has been done. My Supervisor Nick will be calling you soon with some answers on

Install PRV and replace water heater shut off. Replace cartridge in upstairs master bathroom shower.

Came out here to test and verify the unit unit was working perfectly fine. Cycled unit multiple times to make sure that it was working perfectly fine out of the many times I cycled it and there was nothing that failed within the cycle operation of the furnace let the customer know that if it happens again, I’m more than likely use a thermostat not sending the correct signal. All wires were tight and getting proper voltage, thank you for choosing LBA

Talk with very good. Homeowner already knew about some of these existing problems when ideal temp brought them to their attention. I explained to the homeowner that the furnace is in rough shape and could need replacement. Also explained that this is a three star ductwork job. I told him we can make a deal bundling them together. Ended up telling him we could do the furnace along with the three star. Homeowner thought the price was reasonable and wants to get the work done. A little while back the homeowner filed for bankruptcy and he will have get a court order to allow them to purchase the system and ductwork. He mentioned having to do the same thing for a car recently and his roof last year. He asked for all the numbers as well as some contact information so he can talk to his lawyer about it on Monday.

Arrived to customer for a furnace tuneup, and during the process of the inspection, we received a high column, static pressure along with discovering CO readings, indicating the crack in the heat exchanger.

Arrived at customers for a furnace tuneup, and during the process of the inspection, we discovered a biological growth inside of the condensation drain pan along with a shortage of CFM account with both supply and return chains of the system. All other components met within factory specs.

Happy call

Arrived for furnace maintenance today. Started by checking static pressure which is running under the max. Ran a carbon monoxide test and it was 0ppm. Heat exchanger looks good with no rust or cracks. There’s a good temperature split between the return air and supply air. All electrical components are running properly at this time. I changed the furnace filter today too. System is running upon departure. Thanks for choosing LBA.

Completed furnace maintenance and inspection. I checked all components and amp draws. I tested airflow and temp splits. I cleaned up furnace and humidifier. I changed out #35 humidifier pad as well since it was left in after spring maintenance and install. Furnace is running within manufacture specifications.

Heat exchanger installed

Arrive customers for a furnace tuneup in during the process of the inspection, We received a high call on static pressure along with discovering a dirty flame sensor. All other components met within factory specs.

Dropped off new 16x25x4 inch Merv 8 Filter. Customer was not home but I spoke to him through his Ring Doorbell. Left filter on the porch for him. Have a great New Years! Be Safe!

Upon arrival I began the furnace tune up. First, I ran a static pressure test. This unit is rated for a max of .5. In 1st stage heating the static is at .43 but in 2nd stage it goes up to .7 which is failing. (The heat exchanger Part#1186218.) I ran a test for any CO leaks and got a hit at 51ppm. Per EPA rules and regulations I am required to add a “Red Tag” and shut the gas to the furnace off. We are working on getting a new heat exchanger which will be covered by warranty for the parts and labor. If we are unable to get a new heat exchanger we will replace the entire furnace and swap it out with a new one. We will call you as soon as we get that information. 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 New Years! Be Safe!

Upon arrival I began the furnace tune up. First, I ran a static pressure test on the system. It has a max rating of .5 static pressure and the system is testing at .73 which is failing currently. Homeowner did mention that Ideal Temp added a new return drop to the system at some point after they moved in back in August 2022. Next, I ran a CO test and my meter has small hits of carbon monoxide. I am having my Field Supervisor come out tomorrow morning to figure out why the static is still failing and to retest for any CO leaks. Next, I checked the running amps on the blower and inducer motor and the blower is testing within specs but the inducer is amping a little too high and this will come down once we get the static pressure lowered. I replaced the filter today with a filter the homeowner provided but it’s a 1 inch filter and he would like to keep the 4 inch filter but I’m out that size. I will have Caden bring one with him in the morning. If you have any questions or concerns please
