Service call that there was water leaking. Upon arrival, spoke with tenants about issue. Was informed that the Drain Trap which connects to the Main Drain Pipe was overflowing. Blew through all AC Drain Lines and blew through the Main Drain Trap. Poured water through all drain lines to ensure they were clear and to ensure the AC was draining properly. Poured over 10 Gallons of Water through the Drain Trap to ensure it was draining properly. The TEE fitting on the Condensation Drain Pipe was cracked and broken. While this was not the source of the water, it was broken and not glued. To prevent this from leaking cut the drain pipe before the TEE fitting and repiped that section of drain line. Installed a Union Fitting to Access Drain Line. This will allow the drain to be taken apart and removed from the Main Drain Trap it is emptying into without causing stress on any of the Fittings or Pipe.
Performed Six Month Inspection on First Floor System. Changed 16x25x1 Air Filter. Reviewed settings for Air Conditioning. Cleaned Condensation Pump and inspected EZ Trap. Measured Refrigerant Charge on system. Used Charging Jacket to verify Refrigerant levels due to lower Ambient outdoor Temperature. System is operating to standards at this time.
Performed Precision AC Tune Up on Bryant System. Checked 24x30x1 Air Filter in Central Return. Air Filter was clean and in good condition. Due to the size of the Attic and the Configuration of the Flex Ductwork, I was not able to access the Air Handler to inspect. The Auxiliary Drain Pan underneath the Air Handler does have a Float Switch in it which should cut power to the unit if the Auxiliary Drain Pan fills with water. The Condensation Pipe drains into the Outside gutter near the Outdoor Unit. Blew through the Drain Line from the Outside. Inspected Electrical Components on the Outdoor Unit. Measured Refrigerant on System. Do to age of system, 19 Years Old, would recommend begin planning/saving for replacement of the unit. Would recommend installing more plank boards in the Attic to allow easier access to maneuver through attic. The Flex Ducts may need to be disconnected to access the Air Handler and then reinstalled once the Air Handler has been accessed and serviced.
Service call that the Tenant for Apartment 473 has issues with the noise coming from his Air Handler. Spoke with Waylon about issue. Went to Apartment and tested operation of system. Apartment is on the Fourth Floor and directly above the Apartment sits 4 Heat Pump Units. Waylon turned each unit on from the Roof individually and together while I monitored the noise in the Apartment. Some noise can be heard from the Apartment due to the Outdoor Units being directly above on the roof. Tenant says that the noise has been louder at night time. These are Heat Pump Units and when other tenants are home at night they will run more frequently if the temperature is being increased while they are home. If the Outdoor Temperature is colder the Compressors may run louder than when it is a more moderate temperature outside. The sound of the Outdoor Units May be increased if multiple units are running at the same time and/or units are cycling in or out of defrost mode. No issues with the systems we
No heat, found flame rod problem again, replce rod with new LP flame sensor design, new version of sensor withstand propane, cycle and test furnace ok micro amps now at 2.7, heater has now upgraded flame sensor pink/rose would recommend replacing 16x25x1 filter
Service call that the Second Floor Furnace was not maintaining Temperature. Upon arrival, spoke with Homeowner about issue. Furnace was running and was shutting off due to the Temperature being satisfied at the Thermostat. Recalled Error Codes on Control Board which showed a Lockout Error Code and a Low Flame Signal Error Code. Removed the Flame Sensor and cleaned. Flame Sensor was heavily corroded and is becoming pitted. Cleaned Flame Sensor and tested operation of Furnace. Tested Flame Sensor which was reading proper Electrical readings. Cycled System to ensure it was firing off and maintaining Flame. Cleaned Flame Sensor and tested operation of First Floor System also. Both Flame Sensors measured at 2.8 MicroAmps. This is slightly lower than the readings from the previous visit.
Had previously been onsite and replaced the Circulator Pump on the Boiler. Returned to site do to a leak that had started at the Circulator Pump. Found Leak occurring on the Outlet side of the Pump. Attempted to tighten the Flange Bolts which could not be tightened any further. Drained the Boiler and removed the Circulator Pump. Found the Flange Gasket on the Outlet side was damaged and ripped which was causing the leak due to not being properly sealed. Ordered replacement Gasket from Supply House and returned to site to install. Installed new Flange Gaskets on the Inlet and Outlet Side of the Circulator. Put Pump back together and purged the system of Air. Put Boiler back in operation to ensure all zones of the house were Heating and the Circulator was sealed.

Found circulator pump getting 120 v but not running and very hot to the touch. Removed circulator pump and found impeller locked up . Replaced taco 007 and purged and bleed air as good as possible. Boiler is back up and heating again.
Performed Precision Heating Tune Up on Gas Fired Bryant Boiler. Burners were very rusted and full of corrosion. Removed Burners and Cleaned. Found the Thermocouple was excessively corroded as well. The Fitting that connects secures the Thermocouple into the Pilot Assembly was cross threaded. When I attempted to unscrew the Fitting it cracked. Installed a new Pilot Assembly with Pilot Tubing and a new Thermocouple. Performed Combustion Analysis on Boiler. Gas Pressure was set to 4.0" WC which was causing excessive Carbon Monoxide during combustion. Adjusted Gas Pressure Down to 3.1" WC to improve Combustion Levels. Checked Expansion Tank to ensure it was not filled with Water. Visual inspection of the Hot Water Heater shows that it was manufactured in 10/2008. Residential,Water Heaters have an average life between 10-12 Years. Due to age, recommend replacement of the Water before any issues.
We will install a new Aprilaire freestanding dehumidifier in crawlspace. The unit will be installed in the center of the crawlspace. We will install a new power outlet to provide power to the dehumidifier and the condensate pump. We will install a new condensate pump and run vinyl tubing to the standpipe drain that is located in the crawlspace. We will interlock the pump with the dehumidifier. 12/13/18. Installed dehumidifier and all major components and wiring. The circuits in the basement seem overloaded. I could not find a safety entry point for main power. A extension cord was ran to verify operations. The charge for replacing a receptacle was removed. The customer may have to have a certified electrician come and wire the dehumidifier into its own circuit.
Service call that the Trane Gas Furnace for the Second Floor was not working. Arrived onsite and spoke with Homeowner about issue. System was not calling for Heat upon arriving and was in an Idle state. Turned System on to test Operation. The first time the system lit off it shut down and was successful in lighting off on the second attempt. Reviewed the Error codes on the Control Board which showed an E2.1 Code indicated a Flame Error. Removed the Flame Sensor which was heavily corroded. Cleaned Flame Sensor and measured MicroAmps on the Flame Sensor at 3.0 which is the standard. Perforemd Combustion Analysis and measured Outlet Gas Pressure at 10.2" WC. System is operating to standards. The Propane fuel is corroding the Flame Sensor and causing it to not detect the flame properly. The Flame Sensor is slightly pitted but is still in good condition. Recommend Service Membership for both systems which would include an AC Tune a Up and Heat Tune Up on both systems each year.
Found a heat pump thermostat with no Emergency heat setting on thermostat. Verified proper refrigerant temps and pressures.
Proposal to install a dehumidifier for crawlspace area.
