Today’s an annual safety check consisted of one package unit on the roof. I first begin with replacing the 20x25 filter in the room. The thermostat is properly operating. Capacitors in the pack unit checked out. The condensation line is draining off the roof properly. The amps checked out and the temperature supply split is also in the correct range. Overall, the system is operating to the manufacturer specs at this time of service.

Indoor unit safety inspection and maintenance. After checking refrigerant temperature and pressure, found system to be low on refrigerant. Noticed oil and moisture on low side vapor line. I would suspect the Schrader valve to be faulty, leaking refrigerant from the port, so I took the liberty of replacing the Schrader valve with a new one. Charged system with 2 pounds of refrigerant to restore proper subcool temperatures. Checked running/starting capacitors and electrical motors. Washed air filter. Confirmed TXV metering device. Power shut off was through the service panel. Installed Jones valve and cleared primary condensate drain line. Cleaned air handler platform. System is currently servicing the home at the time of maintenance.

Upon arrival blower motor was running condenser was not after diagnostic found defrost board at condenser is faulty bypass defrost board turn system on found out there was air in the system other company pressurized system also found a leak in condenser coil sent estimates replaced coil. Client also wants estimate for a new unit sent estimates

Today’s safety maintenance consisted of one American standard unit located on the roof. I first began with replacing the 20 x 25 filter in the garage to ensure that proper airflow is able to circulate back to the system. The thermostat checked out with no alerts. Amps checked condenser fan checked out amps the pressures on the unit are testing out in the correct range. I clear the condensation line and it is properly draining at this time. Overall system is operating to the manufacture specs at this time of todays Safety check maintenance. I also documented the remainder of photos for the inspector.

Performed annual heating maintenance on 3 split systems. 2 2014 American standard upflow in garage, 2025 ductless mini split for casita. Changed filters, cleared condensation lines. Cycled systems in cooling and heating, checked static pressure, checked temperature split. Cycled systems in heating. Verified sequence of operation is working properly according to manufacturer specifications

Installed new compressor, pressurized system to ensure no leaks, vacuum system, and recharge system to manufacture specifications

Called client to go over repair

Performed indoor and outdoor safety maintenance check for a 2019 Trane heat pump and a 2003 York split system. FAUs are located in master closet attic access. Replaced 2) 20x30 and 14x14 filters. Cleared condensation lines from faus. Followed sequence of operations and checked voltage, condenser fan motor amps, compressor start/run amps, capacitor, temperature splits for both units are in range at 20°, Freon levels, and rinsed condenser coils. Secured all electrical connections. Nest thermostats checked out operational. Both systems are working properly at this time of service. Locked property up and returned key to its original location. Charged CC on file.

Performed annual maintenance on American Standard 5-ton downflow heat pump system. Replaced the existing 20” x 25” air filter. Completed full system inspection and operational check, including: Checked system sequence of operation. * Checked blower motor amperage and operation. * Checked temperature rise. * Inspected electrical components and connections. * Inspected the 24V control circuit and verified proper operation. * Checked capacitors. * Checked blower motor amperage. * Cycled the system through operation and verified proper performance. Ductwork Inspection / Airflow Concern Client stated there is minimal airflow in one room and advised that a duct modification was previously performed when the unit was installed. Inspected the duct system underneath the house and found multiple sections of ductwork with deteriorated insulation and insulation that is falling apart. Also found animal feces throughout the area surrounding the ductwork. Duct is getting 68 degrees still attached.

After Diagnostic found a grounded compressor ordered from Sigler once received for office to schedule

Installed compressor vacuum system, and cleaned bottom of condenser all the dirt systems cooling properly at this time

Estimate on American standard

Heating service and safety check on 2024 equipment. Verified sequence of operation is working properly according to manufacturer specifications. Replaced filter, cleared drain line from attic. Verified ductwork in good condition. Renewed maintenance plan

Putting job on hold waiting for Howard to call me back with compressor ETA. Howard called me back with an ETA. I called client and informed him compressor should be here no later than Thursday.

Called client to go over repair from the weekend. Howard industries is closed today for Yom Kippur.

Arrived for a complimentary safety inspection. During inspection of main sub panel I discovered a Non UL listed twin breaker. Non-UL certified circuit breakers are unsafe because they lack rigorous safety testing, fail to trip during overloads, and use inferior materials. This can lead to severe electrical fires, severe shocks, and equipment destruction. During the inspection of the panel itself I found circuit that were directly connected to the busing as there is limited space in the panel. The panel is around 62 years old and has signs of aging. I recommended replacing and upgrading the sub panel as a safety measure. During inspection of bonding system I found a 12 gauge wire wrapped around the water line. 12 gauge wire is not sufficient for bonding of gas and water lines. I recommend installing a ground rod and bonding gas and water line with proper bonding wires. Gas pipes need to be earthed (or bonded) to prevent dangerous electrical sparks, shocks, and gas leaks caused by stray

Spoke with client and told him I’m unable to get an ETA on compressor due to Howard being closed today. I will call in order compressor tomorrow morning and once I have an ETA I will contact client.

Upon arrival, turn system on and system with not cool properly. But further inspection I discovered system was low on refrigerator. System back to manufactured specifications, using 3 pounds of refrigerant. Performed visual leak inspection at condensing unit and found leak. Compressor will need to be replaced in system recharge. We will order compressor Monday.

Performed a heating maintenance on an ultra Lonox split system unit. Check sequence of operations while system was in heat mode. cleaned out condensation line was getting 100° temperature rise and rising at this time. System is heating up the house properly changed out filter and finished maintenance by making sure system switched back into cool mode correctly.

Emailed heat pump estimates.

Performed an indoor maintenance and safety check. Upon arrival, client stated that furnace would make a whistling noise during the sequence of operation. Cycled system in heating and system did not whistle or make excessive noise. Checked temperature heat rise - no carbon monoxide was detected in the home. Measured static pressure measurements and electric motor readings. ECM blower motor. Installed new P-trap and cleanout for primary drain line – paid via C. C. Pre-booked outdoor maintenance and safety check. System is servicing the home at the time of service.

Demand call performed maintenance on two mini splits. Bedroom unit was not on client was concerned. Further diagnosis disconnect box 15 amp fuse was no longer good. Replaced fuses and system came on unit was cooling bedroom. Client stated they knew what caused the issue. Client has one mini split for living, one wall ac unit for guest room and mini split for main bedroom, had all three on at the same time. Each unit drawing 220amps client stated when all three units are on home would have electrical issues and breakers would trip. Spoked with client and recommended an electrical safety inspection. Bedroom unit is on and cooling properly.
