Brian was on time, friendly, thorough, and professional.
Reviewed jobsite and walked entire house. Performed thermal imaging and reviewed hvac system. Hvac design is poor. Need to perform load calc.
Home Performance Estimate, King of Prussia, PA Reviewed home for areas that would benefit from home performance upgrades. Reviewed attic and basement areas. Made recommendations for air sealing and adding insulation to attic spaces.
Train Station Estimate to replace 4 ton heat pump system on the roof. Valley Forge, PA Reviewed spec sheets, no site visit granted, put together a proposal to replace the heat pump and air handler for building. Emailed proposal.
Condenser still had cover on it. Unit tripped off on compressor lockout. Compressor was on thermal overload. Cooled down compressor and tested system.
Reviewed return duct for safe installation. There is an opportunity to better seal duct at ceiling level which we can complete in the fall.
The recommendations on this proposal were provided during the site visit conducted on 2/6/24. We will provide these home performance services to improve your home's safety, comfort, efficiency, and durability, while improving the occupants' health. The recommendations are also prioritized to best address your concerns and help achieve your goals. Please let us know if you have any questions at any time!
Met with customer and discussed concerns. Reviewed home to provide PECO estimate on home improvements. Talked to customer about fuel switching to natural gas for heating. Need to follow up regarding energy savings calculations.
Completed (2) plan member AC Tune Ups: 1st floor System 3 Tons; Second floor 3.5 Tons; Both located in basement. Both filters in good condition. Measured temperature split Checked condition of each coil. Inspected wiring, controls, electric motors and components. Left email estimates for surge protection devices. Up to (4) Intermatic surge protectors can be installed. Left email estimates for hard start kits. Reduces energy required to start AC. Increases starting torque. Checked drains and condensate pumps. First floor system has wet switch installed. Second floor system does not. Left previously quoted estimate for wet switch. Monitored R410A refrigerant pressures and diagnostics: Good.
Took measurements, prepared and sold proposal. Will get them another proposal for new roof and ventilation later in the week. Schedule of install TBD.
Performed cooling maintenance, checked air filter. Cleaned condensate trap and drain. Checked voltage, amperage and electrical connections, measured capacitor values. Started air conditioner, checked refrigerant charge and drop across coil.
Performed heating maintenance on 2 gas furnaces, replaced air filters, cleaned burners and flame sensors, inspected heat exchangers. Blew out condensate traps and drains. Checked voltage, amperage and electrical connections, tested limit and safety switches. Started gas furnace, performed combustion test and checked temperature rise.
AC Tune Up 2 Ton Lennox AC system Made call for cooling from thermostat. Checked 401 Filter:OK. Checked all electric motors and components. Measured refrigerant pressures; measured temperature split. Checked drain. Checked wiring. Checked compressor amps. Found weak blower capacitor. Called Carl who approved replacement of capacitor. Completed AC tune Up Form AC system is operating well at the time of this maintenance.
After assessing the situation with the 700m Aprilaire humidifier found no good place to mount the existing humidifier. Gave homeowner the option to have the side of the new coil cut out to install the humidifier but told her that I definitely do not recommend this option. After explaining everything thoroughly to the customer she decided that the better option would be to disconnect the existing water line and leave the humidifier on site but not install it at this time. Sealed up exsisting hole in return duct where low voltage wire for humidistat was. System is working fine at time of service.
Heat Tune Ups for (2) 80K BTU propane furnaces. Cleaned flame sensors. Checked hot surface ignitors (condition and ohm reading). Measured temperature rise. Checked inlet and out leak gas pressures Cleaned humidifier housing. Performed combustion test. Replaced 413 Filters. Verified thermostat operation. Completed Gas Furnace Inspection. Provided estimate for (2) REME Whole Home Air apurification Systems Furnaces are operating safely at design conditions at the time of this maintenance.
