11-20-25 South RTU Performed the refrigerant leak search on the near the compressor piping there. Looks like there is some residue oil on there. However, I cannot pick up a leak. The system is not completely empty. It’s really not that far off actually refrigerant charge. I cleaned up the pipes and then installed a couple paper towels and a couple areas to see if there’s oil when we come back and do the spring tuneup. While on site, I went ahead and replaced the 2- 1” PVC condensate P traps one on each unit. Both of these traps were cracked and leaking. They were on the estimate for the economize repair however, that’s not gonna be done so I replaced the traps today. I did use new PVC fittings however I used most of the existing pipes upon the roof. This is an estimate repair need to locate the refrigerator leak. Then we can quote the actual repair.

Customer called in about bathtub not draining in granddaughters bathroom. Customer said he’s had Anthony’s plumbing come out three times this past week and they couldn’t get the drain open. Went to the basement to look at the plumbing for the bathtub drain and discovered that the customer has a drum trap. educated customer that drum traps are hard to snake and in today’s standard and drum traps are now prohibited, and replaced with regular p traps. Also look at both toilets. Both toilets are original to the house and recommend replacing toilets due to the age. Provided customer with several estimates and customer will take the time to take a look at each estimate and will call us back whenever he is ready to proceed with work. Informed customer that if he calls within 30 days, I’ll be able to apply today’s trip charge towards repairs.

Dispatched for furnace tune-up. The components that are tested during the tuneup are heat exchanger, flame sensor, igniter, blower wheel, inducer, temp split and combustion in the heat exchanger. The furnace is 19 yrs old. There are a few parts that are out of range but still operating. The blower motor is pulling more amps than it is manufactured to withstand. This is indicating that the motor bearing is weak and need more energy to move the motor. The second part that is falling below manufacture specifications is the flame sensor. The flame sensor is the final safety component of the furnace. Once this component complete fails it will not sense the flame and place the furnace in a lockout and will not operate.
