De Soto, KS HVAC & Plumbing Services

Upon arrival I began the furnace tune up. First, I ran a static pressure test. This unit is rated for a max of 1.0 and it’s testing at .8 which is right where it should be. Next, I checked the running amps on the inducer and blower motor and both tested within specs. I changed out the filter today with a 20x25x1 inch high velocity filter. Cleaned the flame sensor. Blower wheel is a little dusty but not bad. The flue looks great, it’s double-walled all the way up and out the chimney. Temp rise is within specs at 39 degrees. The CFM count shows the duct work is too small for the system. My Field Supervisor Jamie arrived to discuss with the homeowners. I set them up on a new Club Membership today and installed SmartAC sensors. Got the app downloaded to his phone and it’s working as it should. Lastly, I noticed the humidifier is not working. The drain hose was not connected to the humidifier. No water was making it to the humidifier and the humidistat was working but was not opening and

Arrived to customers for the furnace tuneup, and during the process of the inspection, we received a high call on static pressure along with discovering a dirty blower wheel, and also dirty filter. We’ve also found out that there is a shortage of CFM at the return chain of the system. All other components met within factory specs. Furnace Tune Up

Upon arrival I began the furnace tune up. First, I did a static pressure test. Your system is rated for .5 maximum and your system is testing at 1.1 which is over double the max allowed by the manufacturer. My Field Supervisor Scott is here to find a solution for this high static pressure. I continued my tune up. I found the exhaust flue pipe was cracked and leaking carbon monoxide. I checked the heat exchanger and found lots of rust and cracks starting to open up which is dangerous. When I find a system that is leaking CO I have to shut the gas off and put a “red tag” on the gas line. You can still use the AC portion of the system just not the heat. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call us. Have a great weekend!

Upon arrival talked with homeowner, they are on the same well up the hill with a brand new house, built in 2019 and do not have this sulfuric issue. The most likely culprit is sulfate buildup in deep well lines. Give homeowner option to chlorinate line and treat, homeowner requested a call back at 4 PM when they will be with someone who knows more about the well. If they decide to go through with shock chlorination, we will need to sit down and discuss further before they approve, more than likely the week of Thanksgiving. Cleaned up work area did not collect (reservice)

Working on scheduling return visit to get into attic for CFM measurements. Furnace and maybe full system sale bundled w/plumbing proposal.

arrived for no heat call today. Started furnace and everything came on as should expect the blower. It had a bad capacitor. With customer approval I replaced. Turned system back on and system ran. The static max is .5 and it’s running at .8. It’s failing. The inducer motor is running at max amps. There is rust and hot spots starting to form on the heat exchanger. The evaporator coil is rusting bad too. Informed customer of all the issues. He is going to try to get system through this winter and will look into replacement in the spring.

Customer wants to wait until spring to make a decision.

Changed carbon filter. Warranty. Water tested poorly even with this system.

Inspected halo 3 mini system and will be changing carbon filter under warranty. Found that filtration is not connected to kitchen sink as plumbing is run “funny”. There are 2 shutoffs in the home for the original plumbing and an addition that is plumb separately. Upon opening floor board noticed kitchen sink is disconnected under floor at dwv line. Unable to get into crawl space to see why or how it was disconnected.
