Please add the thermocouple as well. There is pipe dope on the invoice for the truck as well. **please edit notes as you see fit. TY, TY, Jon *)*&)&&;*)&&**(**)*)*))*)*)*)*))*)*)*)*))*)*)*)*))*)(*)*)*))*)*) Today (11/11/25) I arrived and relayed that the gas valve for that we intended to replace the existing one with was no longer available (S.E. Unit heater). Another valve that is an acceptable replacement was sourced and picked up. The manufacturer is the same as the original factory manufacturer however it is slightly more expensive ($19.02). The work was approved and the gas valve was replaced. The old valve was not letting gas pass through the pilot line. Once the new valve was installed the thermocouple was checked and it was underperforming. This was also

Dispatched for no heat. At arrival the system was calling for aux heating. After a thorough inspection of the whole system it was found that the inducer needs replaced, pressure switch’s and the wire harness.

No heat call

Flushed water heater and it needed it. Quoted customer for halo 5 descaler and 2 shut offs needing to updated

Arrived to remedy some inoperable, mini split heads. Upon inspection of the system, found a fault code pertaining to miscommunication between the inside units and the outside unit. Disconnected power for a few minutes to allow system to reset. Connected system to power and set each powerhead to cool the home. Verified that each powerhead is cooling. Switched systems over to heating and verified heating operations. Found that all systems are heating and cooling accordingly. Found that all powerheads are in need of cleaning. Rinsed coils free of debris to ensure the system will continue to operate throughout the winter. Systems are operational upon departure.

Customer called in about boiler leaking. We installed boiler last year. Upon arrival found pressure to boiler to be exceeding 30psi. Started looking at overall system install. Found expansion tank to be set at 70psi. Expansion tank should match system pressure. Lowered prv from 20psi to 10psi. Also found that main pump was set to highest speed. Lowered pump speed to lowest setting after making adjustments, got pressure to go down to 24psi. Typical boiler should be operating 12-18psi. Will discuss with management to see what next steps should be taken to permanently resolve issues.

Cleaned all filters for mini split. As well drain that was causing to over flow and leaking in floor. We will come out tomorrow to fix boiler as well as service mini split for having an out.

11-3-25 Chapel on the left side when you walk in, the two steam radiators closest to the stage. Today I install 2-24 V actuators on the steam valves. Cycled both units working at this time. I also cycled the other heater units on the right side. All six radiators are working.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Set up for combustion analysis temperature split and static pressure tests. Found that the system is operating with excessive static pressure. Verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the furnace. Checked blower for cleanliness and to see if there is any play in the bearings. Found that the fan for heating and cooling is collecting dust. Checked systems heat exchanger to ensure proper venting of flue gas. Found bacterial growth present on the condensation pan for the evaporator coil. Performed an electronic gas leak search. Verified operation of the humidifier. Found that the solenoid valve for the humidifier is clogged with calcium build up. Furnace is operational at this time.

10-29-25 Spoke to Mother Ema Steam boiler tune up Cleaned and checked the low water, condensate safety float Tested both condensate pumps Tested the condensate tank feed water valve Flushed debris from the bottom of the steam boiler tank Flushed out the sightglass Tested the electronic low water safety Clean and tested the fire eye Lubricated the gas train linkage Tested the burner operation from low fire to high fire Check the combustion air dampers they’re working properly Once the boiler ran for a little bit and came up to pressure. The water in the boiler came up over the cycle. I found the 3 inch steam main to the bottom floors,where ties into the trap was full of muck again I had to flush that out again. I did this last year. The system is very old and does have some maintenance issues. I was able to get the steam to return properly and the water level and the tank itself is leveled out. I will come back on on Monday morning next week. I’ve got some isolation valves. I nee
