AC Repair Service: I conducted a detailed inspection of the AC unit's electrical components at the client's home. This included checking wiring, connections, and safety switches. Ensuring the electrical components are in good condition is crucial for the safe and reliable operation of the client’s AC system.

First found a failed fuse running from a 1 of 5 transformers. Tested transformer and it was ground out from hot to neutral. Replace 50va transformer and fuse. Started system and everything is running as it should be no error codes at this time.

Completed full ac maintenance

Upon arrival set thermostat on cool, static was passing, CFM counts were good and temperature split was good as well. Check all electrical connections were good and blower wheel good. On the AC unit outside, we did suggest a hard start kit for compressor since it was drawling an over the amps for start up, also recommended an extensive coil clean. Customer did not want to go with any of the options today. Wash the outside coil with water. All systems are running properly at this time.

Upon arrival we found the contactor was getting proper power but wasn’t closing. Upon customer approval we replaced the contactor and system is up and running properly.

AC System Maintenance: At a scheduled HVAC maintenance appointment, I meticulously examined the residential AC system, cleaning or replacing filters, tightening electrical connections, and calibrating the thermostat.

3/25/24 Sent out today to Rick and Mary’s in regards to a shower with no flow. Upon arrival I was greeted by the two and went over the purpose of the visit and answered any immediate questions they had. Rick led me to the master bathroom explaining they have already cleared the shower head and attempted a shower rebuild and wants to know what needs to be done next. I went over how they did exactly what I would have started with. I then explained the next step would be replacing the shower valve however I wanted to run vital test to see if we could determine why this happened in the first place. Vitals: -Total Dissolved Solids (cold): 435 ppm -Total Dissolved Solids (hot): 537 ppm -Water Pressure Static: 80 psi -Water Pressure Faucet Open: 74 psi (w/ prv) -Water Temp Setting: n/a -Water Temp Output: 120F -Water Hardness: 18 grains of calcium per gallon (extremely hard water) -Water Quality: n/a -Water Heater: installed by LBA in 2019 -Water Lines: cpvc -Drain Lines: pvc Because so

Checked all operations in cooling mode and inspected furnace filter. We checked static pressure which was failing at this time a supervisor will be out to evaluate static pressure. Checked all electrical we found the fan motor is leaking oil and the capacitor is going bad along with the system refrigerant needs recalibrated. We informed the customer but they didn’t want to do anything at this time.

Light maintenance

During this visit Don brought me to the building automation interface in the server room. The unit of concern today is unit# 1-2 Daiken RTU that serves the lower south side of the building (break room). The automation software is reporting that the return temp is 48.7 and the supply temp is 60, the humidity is at 164% and the odt is 621deg. F. In addition to these readings the Econ is reporting 20% open and the max value for the Econ has been set at 5%. The automation software reports the unit as heating at 100% with no error codes. The humidity, outdoor temp, Econ % and heating status of this unit are wrong for the reasons listed below. On the roof I noticed while approaching that the nat gas heater is not functioning at all and the economizer is in roughly a 5% open state. I performed a few tests on the equipment to see if we could return heating function. The voltages were checked and the nat gas heating was checked. The inducer motor was not locked and spun freely, the spa

Performed preventative maintenance on furnace found static was high at over 1.0 removed filter and tested which grout it down quite a bit installed new filter and it rose to .75 which is acceptable beings it is rated for a 1.0 max static all electrical components checked out good blower appeared to be clean humidifier is good as well had to adjust it on the thermostat due to it not coming on at first once it was changed to on it functioned properly advise not to run furnace while your doing Sheetrock sanding in basement as that harms all aspects of your furnace and clogs filters which is hard on furnace wiped entire furnace down to clear of dust and debris I recommend after you get done with your sheet rock to give us a call so we can clean your ducts out get all the sheet rock dust out of there so your not breathing that stuff that stuff furnace is functioning fine at time of departure thank you for being a loyal L.B.A customer we appreciate your business immensely and value you as ou

Company arrived to preform plumbing inspection. Company feels that water quality should be addressed at the test results show that mechanical failure throughout home can be expected. Company informed homeowner appliances are not as durable as the once we’re. Hard water does significantly more damage to newer appliances than old. There are signs of potential issues all throughout home. Homeowners are on a fixed income and are taking the fix it as it breaks approach rather than the fix what makes it break path due to overall financial reasons. LBA will faithfully be here to help address and issues that arise, always striving to provide 5* Customer Service. Thank you for always choosing LBA Services.

12/5/23-performed heating maintenance, mini split filters clean, changed all filters in the rooftop units, recorded amp draws and deltas, ran all systems in heat mode from microtech controller to make gas heat come on, powered fan to 50% for first stage and 85 for second stage gas heat due to discharge air being set to 89° for heat pumps without emergency heat, all seem to be responding ok, no issues found at this time

Assisted Tyler M on cooling PM

During this visit I spoke with Frank and he showed me the Daiken building auto system and directed me to the roof access. Communication has been lost to unit 1-2 and unit 1-1 appears to run past the temp sensor however on the roof the unit has stopped. Frank was referred to Daiken as per Rick and I completely agree. The communicating system is complex and proprietary. There is a large possibility that we can spend hours searching for a ghost in the machine and still not have the passwords and software to correct it. **todays visit was non-invasive. Nothing was changed on the equipment or the bas. This was done so that the Daiken tech will be able to see the state of the equipment and the communications as is. Thank you, Jon Tech notes:

Completed cooling tune up today. Low side refrigerant pressure too low due to system pulling in too cool of air into basement and bypass damper being open. Shut off damper and it increased higher. System static is a bit high. Having supervisor come out Saturday to look into issue further. Cleared drain line. All electrical components tested in manufacturers specifications today. Washed outdoor unit. System operating upon my departure. Thank you for choosing LBA services. Your technician today, Jake.

Arrived to hvac maintenance. Upon arrival I spoke with the customer and was shown the location of the furnace, ac, and corresponding thermostat. At the indoor unit we checked for proper temp split, blower operation, and static pressure. I found the temp split at only 12° when spec is 18°. Later in the call I hooked gauges up to the system and went over calibrating the refrigerant to improve this. I also found the systems static pressure higher than the maximum amount allotted by the system. I calibrated the furnace blower with this still being high. My supervisor will be out tomorrow to verify these readings and find solutions to prevent damage on the equipment. On the outdoor system I checked refrigerant and all electrical. The capacitor that fed the fan and compressor had failed on the fan side and I spoke of replacement of this. I cleaned the outdoor coil with water. System running upon departure.
