Upon arrival, I found that the low voltage fuse was popped. This indicates there is a short in the system. I performed a quick overview of the low voltage wiring in the attic and found both the wires for the thermostat and condenser to be damaged from a critter chewing on them. I installed my short finder and cycled the unit a couple times in heat mode to ensure the fuse wasn’t going to pop. With approval, I installed a new fuse and tested the components of the furnace to ensure proper operation. I found that the capacitor for the blower is slightly out of range and should likely be replaced soon. Customer approved the replacement of the thermostat wire to the thermostat and condenser. With this repair, we will install a sealtite conduit for the wires once they arrive outside to protect them from the elements. Customer would like to schedule for January 28th for the wiring replacement. Customer needs a new filter as well. Sent payment link for work today.
