Reviewed installation for attic gas furnace and ac installation. Trunk system is bubble wrapped and could not see how well sealed the main trunk is. Flex ducts come off of system, most likely there is wall stack feeding the first floor. Covered all of the supply vents for registers and connected the fan to the return. Turned on system and ramped up the pressure to 25 Pascals. Measured duct leakage. Found several areas of leakage around cabinet and return connections. Sealed with tape. Remeasured at 181 cfm25.
Duct leakage test being performed in Wallingford Pa to ensure the ductwork is air tight per the energy code

Reviewed home and system with Dan. Measured equipment and walked through estimate options. Reviewed home for home performace upgrades using peco program.
Installed new Bosch boiler. Installed new piping for return and supply. Installed new zone valve and purge station for return. Installed new Spyrovent and expansion tank and pump for supply. Installed new flo check for supply. Installed new intake and exhaust for boiler. Installed new Zone panel for system. Installed new 1in gas line and manifold. Pressure tested system, peco hung new meter. Tested system in heating for both zones. Work area cleaned.
Installed ecobee thermostat, tested operation.
Heat Tune Up for 2.5 Ton Heat Pump Stystem. Replaced 16x25x1 filter. Made call for heat from thermostat 4 degrees above room temp. Strip heater and HP energized. Estimate for T10 stat is still there for upgrade. Checked strip heater amps. Made call for heat 1 degree higher than room temp. Checked temp rise. Checked static pressure. Total static is a little high .78†Checked refrigerant pressures. Checked all electric motors and components. Checked defrost. Water hardness test 9 gpg. Completed AC/HP Tune Up Form Provided estimates for NOVO Filtration and softening. Heat Pump is operating well at the time of maintenance
Performed heating and cooling maintenance, checked air filters ok. Blew out condensate trap and drain. Cleaned burners and flame sensor, inspected heat exchanger. Checked voltage, amperage and electrical connections, measured capacitor values. Started air conditioner, checked refrigerant charge and temperature drop across coil
PECO HP tune up for 2.5 ton Amana system. Changed filter. Cleaned and primed EZ trap. All electric motors and components ok. Both coils are in good condition. 17F temperature split. Refrigerant pressures/superheat/subcooling ok. Verified cycling/tstat operation. System is operating well at the time of this maintenance. Provided estimate for plan Membership and an estimate for thermostat upgrade.
Performed Precision PECO Heat Tune Up on system. Replaced the 16x20x1 Air Filter. Inspected Indoor and Outdoor Coils. Coils were clean and did not need a cleaning. Inspected Blower Motor and Blower Motor Bearings. Motor is an encased motor and no lubrication was needed. Inspected Electrical Components on Air Handler and Outdoor Unit. Dual Capacitor for the Outdoor Unit is testing below rating on the Fan Motor Side. Recommend replacement of the Dual Capacitor before damage to the Outdoor Fan Motor occurs. Measured Refrigerant charge in Heating Mode and verified refrigerant charge with Manufacturer charging chart. Tested Auxiliary Heat Kit on system. Completed PECO Checklist Form in system.
Performed heating maintenance, checked media air filter ok. Serviced humidifier, cleaned and replaced water panel. Cleaned burners and flame sensor, inspected heat exchanger. Checked voltage, amperage and electrical connections, measured capacitor values ok. Started gas furnace, tested limit and safety switches, measured fuel pressures. Performed combustion test and checked temperature rise.
Checked no cooling complaint, checked air filter ok. Started air conditioner, air conditioner started and runs, checked temperature drop across coil, found only a 8 degree drop. Checked refrigerant charge, found low on charge. Topped off refrigerant charge and balanced by superheat. Checked operation and temperature drop across coil. Recommend replacing system due to age and obsolete R-22 refrigerant. Home warranty company to repair or replace system.
Service call that there was a noise coming from the AC. Upon arrival spoke with homeowner about issue. Turned AC on to test operation. Found a popping sound coming from the breaker panel. Removed Panel cover and cycled outdoor unit. Sparking and smoke was coming from the Breaker for the Outdoor Unit. Attempted to remove the Breaker and it appears to be seized into the panel. Turned Breaker off for the Outdoor Unit and spoke with homeowner about not using the AC until the Breaker is repaired due to not being safe. Would recommend calling an electrician to inspect the panel and remove/replace the Double Pole 20 Amp Breaker. After the Breaker is replaced if there is an issue with the AC we can return to diagnose.
