Upon arrival I began the furnace tune up. First, I did a static pressure test on the unit. This system is rated for a maximum of .5 and your system is testing at .72 which is failing currently. My Field Supervisor is on his way over to figure out why the static pressure is so high. Next, I checked the running amps on the inducer and blower motor and both were testing within manufacturer specifications. I cleaned the flame sensor, replaced the furnace filter, set the humidifier up for this winter. I took a temperature split on the system which should stay between 25 to 55 degrees and when I first tested it, the system was at 57 degrees which was too hot. So, I lowered the gas valve just a tiny bit and now I’ve got it down under the max at 52 degrees which is good. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call us!

Went for a maintenance call today. Tested for static pressure, static is passing. Ductwork is properly sized. Temp split passes for system. All electrical components pass for system. Did a co test no co was detected when testing. Inspected heat exchanger no wear and tear. Blower wheel is collecting dust just something to be aware about. No further wear and tear. Thank you for choosing LBA services-Johann.

Went for a maintenance call today. When going to furnace tested for static pressure. System is passing for static. Did a co test no co was leaking when testing. Inspected heat exchanger no wear and tear. Did a temp split and is passing. All electrical components are passing for manufacture specifications. Drain line, flame sensor, and pressure switch hose are clean. No further wear and tear on system. Thank you for choosing LBA services-Johann.

Upon arrival I began the furnace tune up. First, I ran a static pressure test. Your system is rated for a maximum static pressure of .5 and your system is testing at .48 which is passing. Next, I checked the running amps on the inducer and blower motor and both were within specifications. I cleaned the flame sensor, cleared the hoses and pressure switches. Filter was replaced recently, it’s still very white and clean. I did notice the system has no humidifier and that is something she is interested in. I will send her an email so she can go over that option with her husband. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call us! Your LBA Technician, Tyler Rickard P.S.

Need to increase return and clean and seal.

Clean and seal

Arrived to perform previously diagnosed repairs. Found the thermostat in question. Shut off power to the furnace and dismounted the old thermostat. Mounted and wired in the new thermostat. Turned the furnace on and set the other zones well below the ambient temperature so they will not call for heat. Ran through the set up process on the new thermostat. Set a call for cooling and made sure the furnace is operating according to the commands of the thermostat. System is functioning properly at this time.

Customer called stating furnace would not operate. Upon arrival it was found that inducer motor would not spin on its own accord. Visually inspected heat exchanger and it has signs of severe heat stress. Customer requested quotes for replacement, contacted field supervisor to advise. In order to get customer heat today we contacted distributor for inducer, no distributor had the inducer they only had “parts”. I removed old inducer and oiled impeller shaft and manually spun motor until it spun freely. Reinstalled and system is operating again. Monitored furnace for 2 hrs while running and got a measurement of 3ppm as a high while running. Customer had signed agreement for equipment replacement, waived service fee for visit and repair.

During this visit there were four units (the units outside) that were not functioning. All four were not receiving a 24v signal from the control boxes to run. Each were jumped into operation and confirmed to be functioning properly. The zone boards were checked for proper voltages in from the zone thermostats and the outgoing voltages were correct for two of them. Three units were brought back into service during this visit and they were responding to the thermostats. The fourth unit (unit#4) still was not receiving a signal to heat outside at the unit. I will refer this to Steve for a check next week as he is familiar with this zoning system. Thank you, Jon Tech notes 1,2,3 back functioning with a 24v signal on w.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Set up for combustion analysis temperature split and static pressure tests. Found the system operating with passing static pressure, but the furnace is overheating. Not to the point to where it hits a safety and shuts off, but it is causing premature wear on the heat exchanger. Verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the furnace. Found that the drainage system for the furnace condensation does not have an acid trap, and the inducer is leaking from the rubber fittings inside the furnace. Adjusted the fittings and made sure the system will operate without leaking condensation inside the furnace. Cleaned the flame sensor and retested its performance. Checked blower for cleanliness and to see if there is any play in the bearings. Found the blower wheel is coated in dust debris. Checked systems heat exchanger to ensure proper venting of flue gas. Found heat stress on heat exchanger. Performed an electronic gas leak search. S

Customer stated system not heating, found stored error codes for lockout and tripped high limit. Changed filter, verified blower speeds, opened all registers in home. System did not trip on high limit while being onsite. System would complete heat cycle and begin again while thermostat showed satisfied. Replaced batteries in thermostat and it quit calling while satisfied. System likely continued running even after satisfying and tripped on limit. Showed customer how to reset furnace in case it happens again so they can maintain temps in home.

Customer still hasn’t gotten back

Customer called with furnace out. Upon arrival board was cycling between idl and 888 indicating it had gone bad. I had a board for system on van and swapped out board under warranty as unit is only 2 years old. System is operating normally now.

Failed heat exchanger

Arrived for furnace maintenance today. Checked static pressure and found it is failing. Checked heat exchanger and found a crack in it. Called for field supervisor to verify. Customer would like emails to with quotes. Thanks for choosing LBA.
