Cathedral City, CA

Homeowner noticed water dripping from ceiling return right before main bedroom door when it rained recently. He then noticed from looking at roof outside that the flue pipe was showing about 2 feet of unpainted sheet metal section. Top half with slanted cover painted a brownish red and had concern if we had moved it during maintenance or demand. Flu was no longer used as system was previously a gas furnace and a company replaced with a heat pump. I was able to pull it down til no more exposed sheet metal section was visible from street. I showed homeowner pictures from when I was in attic and vent was always like it was today upon arrival. Recommended maybe reaching out to a contractor about how it should be to prevent any rain coming in.

Arrived at customer’s home to diagnose outlet falling out of wall. Found that an outlet in kitchen had pulled out of the box screws. Used longer screws to re attach outlet to the box and secured cover to outlet. Customer also expressed concern for the garbage disposal and dishwasher circuits, so I checked the wiring out for both those circuits as well. Found that both circuits were separate from outlet that pulled out of the wall. Wiring for both garbage disposal and dishwasher tested out to be correct. Informed customer of my findings to complete scope of work for today.

Today’s demand called consistent of one American standard no cooling. After turning the thermostat on cooling condenser fan motor was operating compressor turned on blower motor did not turn on. I replaced the filter. It was not too dirty amps at the condenser checked out in the correct range, capacitor checked out. System was running suction line began to freeze blower. Motor was still not running and there was an error code for the blower motor on the communication board. Attempted to check static pressure, but since the blower motor was not running, I was not able to confirm the static pressure at this time of service until motor has been replaced.Check voltage to blower motor voltage checked out blower motor has failed. Motor will be replaced under warranty. Waiting for home owner to approve repair..

Today’s safety maintenance check consisted of one American standard package unit located on the roof. I ensure that the 20 x 30 filter had been replaced. The Honeywell thermostat is properly calling for cooling and heating at this time of service. Fan amps checked out on the package unit blower amps also checked out in the correct range. Following with the capacitor tested out safely. Condensation line is draining off the roof properly with no obstructions to the line. Temperature split from the supply and return checked out. Overall system is operating to the manufacture specs at this time of today’s service.
