Went for a maintenance call today. Upon arrival customer stated house was cooling properly. Did have water leaks before arriving. Both furnace did have failing static. As well as blower wheels were dirty. But both furnace did have passing amperage. Drain lines were clean as well. One system was leaking into the filter. Did vacuum it out and put a filter in for. Reason for leakage was water panel needed to be replaced. Did have a supervisor come out for high static and water leakage. Once assessing problem customer approved for both humidifiers on the water panels. When checking outdoor unit. Did clean out both condenser units. Both passing on refrigerant. As well as the capacitor for both unit. When checking amperage for fan and compressor both were passing. Both systems up and running thank you for choosing LBA services.

Came out here for an AC tuneup on both of her units noticed at the main unit itself was really low on refrigerant. Customer decided to add 2 pounds to the system. Customer did have failed static But due to her moving and selling the home she doesn’t wanna do anything about it put those 2 pounds in unit is up and running of the unit checked out as well. Watch both of the unit outside free of debris, change both filters. Thank you for choosing LBA

Arrived to finish out diagnosing a system with a Ferguson representative. Inspected the unit inside and lineset leading out to the outside unit. Went outside and inspected the outside unit. Checked system charge. Inspected the protrusion through the wall. Everything is up to manufacturers specifications as far as the installation goes. After referencing equipment details from the manufacturers perspective, determined that the condenser is in need of a suction line dampener. This will alleviate any vibration and noise. Ordered the part and let homeowner know it will not be in until next week. Air conditioning system is operational upon departure.

Unit #10 was also relayed to me as having a blank thermostat. Unit# 13 was also not cooling. Unit#13 was not in cooling mode at the thermostat. I set the thermostat to cooling mode and the system returned to cooling. Unit# 10 had a blank thermostat. The breaker for unit#18 was labeled wrong. It was actually for unit# 10. When unit#18 was turned off at the breaker, unit #10 was shut off instead. This breaker has been relabeled correctly. While checking unit#10 I did notice a belt that needed replaced. This belt was replaced with an emergency belt hat we keep on-site. Unit #18 was checked thoroughly for any signs of a smoke or fire source. This unit was functioning without a smoke alarm alerting when I arrived. The wiring was checked for burnt marks and loose connections. Th

Arrived for ac maintenance today. System is 2 years old. Started at furnace and checked static pressure, temperature splits, drains, filter, blower motor amps, and blower wheel. Found static was failing and outside of manufacturing specs. A field supervisor was out to diagnose. I changed out the filter. And found the blower wheel was dirty and needed to be cleaned. All other operations are working properly. At the ac unit I checked refrigerant levels, capacitor, contactor, running amps, and coil. All checked out good here. Joel signed up for the membership and the blower wheel clean. I cleaned the wheel and ran system to make sure everything was working. System running upon leaving. Thanks for choosing LBA.

On arrival, I found that the system was not operating Correctly, due to extremely dirty system and air filter from the sheet rock dust. I gave customer estimates to clean all this up and perform a duct cleaning, and they will be following up with us on their decision shortly. Thanks for having me out today, Eli.

Arrived to remedy a noisy system. Homeowner showed me around and started the unit to better explain the noise. Outside the unit sounds relatively normal. Went inside and could hear a droning noise. Went over to the laundry room by the condenser and the noise was significantly louder. Went down to the basement and checked the area where the refrigerant lineset comes into the house. Found that the lineset has essentially been wedged between the protrusion through the wall and the floor joist. Tried to move refrigerant lines around to alleviate this noise, but was unable to get the right angle. Reached out to a field supervisor for design help. With field supervisor, came to the conclusion that the line set may need re-run. Field supervisor is reaching out to a representative from Goodman for further diagnosis.

Contacted customer. Will update slack when I receive a response

Completed AC inspections for customers two systems. All aspects of systems are within manufacturer specifications aside from the upstairs unit which has failing static pressure. Turned over to field supervisor to contact customer. Both systems operating normally upon departure.

Customer not home. Contacting to see when we could meet up to go over airflow situation

DUCT SERVICES ESTIMATE: Carlus mentioned that he has allergies, gets sinus infections, and his wife gets sinus headaches. They say that there is very low airflow to the upstairs and uneven cooling/heating in the home. Furnace heat exchanger is compromised. A crack has formed on the “bell” portion of the heat exchanger inlet, viewable with an inspection camera and pulling the high limit safety. Per code requirements, gas is off to the furnace. Either the heat exchanger or furnace will need to be replaced before operating the furnace in heating mode. System reading low on refrigerant. Indoor coil was consistently under 32 degrees (freezing temperature) while operating. Ductwork in the home is inadequate for the system’s airflow needs. Offered various solutions. Carlus said that he wanted to get some additional estimates. Follow-up call is scheduled for next Friday morning at 8am. Reprogrammed the indoor fan to a lower speed to alleviate the already excessive air pressure.

Arrived to do a pre cleaning inspection to establish a baseline for the system. Started with the furnace. Tested systems static pressure and found that the system is operating well outside manufacturers specifications. Tested electronic components of the furnace. Found parts are worn but nothing indicated failure. Used inspection camera to do a visual inspection of the inside of the unit. Found bacterial growth present on the condensation pan for the evaporator and debris collecting on the blower wheel. Also, found that the heat exchanger for the furnace is cracked. This makes the furnace unsafe to heat the home. Turned off the gas to the unit and had homeowner sign the red tag. Went outside and inspected the outside unit. Verified operation of the electronic components and found them worn but not failing. Checked the systems charge and found that our low side pressures are right at freezing. This is an indication of the system being under charged. With this being a sealed system there

Completed AC inspection, there were several items of concern found during inspection. Due to age of unit we inspected the heat exchanger for cracks it does appear to have cracks and is very rusty in several places causing a safety risk. The blower wheel is very dirty causing additional wear to blower motor. Blower motor was found to be pulling high amps, most likely due to additional weight and balance of wheel as well as age. Customers zone dampers are malfunctioning and have failed to the open position and they are unable to utilize the zoning. Refrigerant charge was low, suspected leak as customer stated they had refrigerant added two years ago, evaporator coil original to home is 20+ years old and condenser is 6 years old. Previous homeowner had condenser replaced but not coil, suspecting coil of having leak. Customer opted to not do any repairs today and waiting until he can speak with field supervisor.

Went for a maintenance call today on arrival. Customer stated house was cooling properly. When checking furnace did check for static. static pressure was failing. Did adjust blower speeds and opened up dampers. static was still feeling after that.Did recommend to have a supervisor out customer agreed. Blower wheel was dirty did recommend for a clean. other than that blower amps were good as well as the capacitor. when checking outdoor unit. Did give the unit a clean. Refrigerant levels were good. Capacitor was running at max rating. Other than that fan and compressor amperage was good. Did note to customer on schedule for repair for the heat pump. System is up and running. Thank you for choosing LBA services.

7/17/24 - Completed a site survey and completed a cooling maintenance on 4 RTU’s. All filters were changed, belts were checks, and operation was tested. Units 1 and 2 are the bigger units and they both seemed to be working properly at this time. The two smaller units that are caged together seem to not be working at this time. They both appear to have a bad condenser fan, as well as some other issues, so they will both need to be looked into further.

Found that the 4 ton system had a bad thermostat, replaced with a 8444 non programmable stat system is run and dropped 5 degrees when I was there. Tested all functions and amp draws for this system. Unit is running as it should be.

During this visit the new blower motor was installed with a new matching capacitor in the furnace that serves the break room and is located on the mezzanine. The blower wheel was difficult to remove from the shaft however after several attempts it did break free and was in a reusable condition. After the motor was replaced the system was checked for proper function. It was discovered that the control board was sending line voltage to the motor on both the heating and cooling taps. I relayed the cost for a new board (288.20) and Sherry verbally approved it. The repair for the control board was made today as well. The system returned to cooling and is functioning off of the thermostat. The motor, capacitor and the control board are warrantied for one year from today. The original estimate is below for reference. Thank you, Jon Sherry, I have received the price for the blower motor that has failed in the Lennox furnace that is located on the mezzanine above the mechanics
