Today the A/C that had a refrigerant adjustment last summer and a new evaporator coil installed the year before last summer had a very low charge that is preventing it from cooling properly. I met with Michael after I arrived and he led me to the indoor furnace and evaporator coil. The indoor coil was accessed and checked for signs of leaking. There was no oil present at the indoor coil as well as the thermal expansion valve. The coil was then wetted and checked with a leak detector. The coil did not present any leaking. I then checked the rooftop condenser and discovered refrigeration oil at three different places 1: on the line-set at the first elbow, at a condenser coil u-bend and at the service valve. The unit has been flat and pulls below atmosphereic pressure which allows outside air into the system. While on-site it was discovered that the flue pipe for the furnace and the hot water heater has rusted through and has several large holes as well as split seams at the

4/29/25 - Completed a full cooling maintenance on 3 RTU’s. The filters were changed, the coils were washed, and proper operation was tested. Overall, the units were in good condition, they were all running well, and there were no issues found at this time.

Arrived for ac maintenance today. Started at furnace and checked static pressure, it is passing. I changed furnace filter. Blower motor amps are good. There’s a 24 degree temp split. At the condensing unit pressures and charge look good given the cooler temps. All electrical components are running within specs. I rinsed the coil clean. System is running upon departure. Thanks for choosing LBA.

Customer called for thermostat throwing an alarm for low refrigerant pressure. Customers filter was pretty dirty and restricting airflow enough to reduce suction pressure. Changed filter and checked pressures system operating normally upon departure.

Inspection

Inspection

Completed AC inspection for customer today. All aspects of air conditioning tested within manufacturer specifications with the exception of static pressure. Furnace data tag shows max static pressure of .5inwc and tested at .6inwc which is elevated. Customer did allow a brief safety check of the furnace due to its age, there are visible signs of rust, separation and cracks present, we advised customer that they are safe to use system for cooling but we would very much like to reinspect before heating season.

Base of toilet is solid. No leaks, tank was a little loose. I tightened tank to toilet for more sturdiness.

DATE: 3/11/25 Detailed description of what was done today: Arrived at home and spoke with Ian briefly about expectations and work that was signed off to be completed. Once introduction was completed I started taking our old toilet and PRV assembly. Once that was completed, I install new toilet, tub spout, PVC washers and PRV. Once everything was installed, I ran multiple water test and pressure test to confirm everything was installed properly and in working fashion. Collected signatures and payment and then headed out. After reviewing the entire house I went over everything with Ian to ensure they understood everything going on in the house and what could be done to address it.

My guess is that it is a weak relay or gas valve that hiccups. Just a guess, but if it was newer that’s what I would suggest or a lawn chair and babysit it for a day.

The unit does function in heat mode however there has been outages in the past with this unit. Today the tests performed were used to check the heating components and functions. This includes, gas valve amp draw, inducer motor amp draw, blower motor inspection, heat exchanger inspection, control voltages through the heating circuits, flame sensor, primary voltage, temperature split and the flue gasses were also checked.

1/22/25 - Completed a light heating maintenance on three RTU’s. The filters were changed and operation was tested. Overall, all units were in good condition, they were running well, and there were no issues found at this time.

Unit serial number 0524 was not heating. Found that the pressure switch hose had something blocking. Cleaned hose and ran system. Everything is running at this time

The unit on the front/east had the economizer wide open and frozen bring cold outside air in. Removed ice and open and closed dampers several times. Reset min. Open position. Unit tested fine after with temp. Split

Went for a maintenance call today. Tested for static pressure system is running to close rating. Would like to see where it’s at in summer time. Temp split passes for system. Did a co test no co was detected when testing. Inspected heat exchanger no wear and tear. All electrical components pass for manufacture specifications. No further wear and tear on system. Thank you for choosing LBA services.

Replace the failed heat exchanger in the Lennox package unit serial 5606E12531. Price includes the factory replacement parts, hoisting and labor. The heating mode has been disabled for safety to prevent carbon monoxide from entering the conditioned space. Emailed the photos to the contacts on file.

10/21/24 - Completed a full heating maintenance on three RTU’s. All filters were changed, heat exchangers were checked, and proper operation was tested. RTU 2 does have a bad heat exchanger, so the gas was shut off and it will not be heating until it is replaced. Other than that, the other two units were in good condition, they were running well, and there were no further issues found at this time.

DATE: 8/21/24 Detailed description of what was done today: arrived at home, spoke with Michael about reason I was called today. Which was a wash machine drain that was backing up into kitchen sink. After running inspection of drain lines, I try to run my camera. But was unsuccessful to get around some of the corners, so I grab my backpack auger and ran that down the drain line. Had some hair and some sludge 2530 feet down the line and cleared returning at kitchen sink drain and water drain back to normal flow. Still a little bit of water coming up in the kitchen sink when running a load, but is not backing up nearly as much. Collected signatures and head out. After reviewing the entire house I went over everything with Michael to ensure they understood everything going on in the house and what could be done to address it.
