Performed precision a/c tune up on 2 amana a/c systems. Replaced 1 Aprilaire 413 air filter and 1 Aprilaire 213 air filter. Checked all electrical conections and components. Blew out both condensate drains. Tested operation of condensation pump in attic. Adjusted back damper feeding second floor bathroom. Checked refrigerant pressures and temperatures at indoor and outdoor units. Both systems are working fine at time of inspection. Homeowner talked about hearing a noise when blower in attic comes on , found metal duct work does flex when blower comes on but nothing to be concerned about.
Service call that there was water coming from the Registers. Spoke with Homeowners and was informed that there was water coming from the vents during the heavy rain storm yesterday. Used Attic access to locate the Registers in the bedroom in the attic. Removed the Insulation from around the Registers and found some signs of water. The one register is behind a wall and cannot be accessed. The insulation was not wet and no visible rain damage was scene from the roof above. The Flex Duct in the Attic is only rated R-4. Standard insulation for attic spaces is R-8. Tested system and found the Air Filter to be extremely dirty. Replaced the 20x25x1 Air Filter and took air temperatures and checked refrigerant pressures. Found no signs of water or condensation while system was operating. System was operating to standards. Do to the issue occurring and stopping during and immediately after the heavy rain storm, Recommend having the Roof inspected to see if there is water leaking through. Wou
Performed heating maintenance on 2 gas furnaces, checked media filters ok. Cleaned burners and flame sensors, inspected heat exchangers. Blew out condensate traps. Checked voltage, amperage and electrical connections. Started gas furnaces, measured fuel pressures. Tested limit and safety switches. Performed combustion test. Checked operation and temperature rise.
Performed Six Month AC Inspection on Amana System. Replaced the 16x25x1 Air Filter. When changing filters, do not recommend going higher than a Merv-8 Rating as this can obstruct AirFlow. Cleaned EZ Trap and Condensation Pump. Installed a Union Fitting onto the AC Condensation Drain Line to allow increased access to the Drain and Pump. Performed Update for Control Board on Cool Cloud App. Reviewed System settings and lowered Air Flow Settings on the system. Measured Refrigerant Charge on system. Measured Supply and Return Air Temperatures. AirFlow issue was mainly during the ramping up process of the Blower Fan. After lowering AirFlow, turned the system on with the Homeowners to ensure that the ramping Profile was quieter. Also spoke with Homeowners about keeping Fan in the Circulate Feature to help move air through the home in between Cooling cycles. Fan will run intermittently at 25% Speed in Circulate.
Performed Precision AC Tune Up on the First Floor and Second Floor System. Replaced the High Efficiency 413 Filter for the First Floor and the 213 Filter for the Second Floor System. Cleaned Drain Lines, Condensation Pump, and EZ Traps on Systems. Inspected Electrical Components on the Furnaces and Outdoor Units. Measured Refrigerant Charge on both Units and took Supply and Return Air Temperature Readings. Both systems are operating to standards at this time.
Removed thermostat from wall and extended wire to relocate thermostat to other side. Completed all connections and tested operation. Removed 2 duct fittings and installed top takeoffs on top of duct and reconnected flex and panned off other openings. Tested operation and ensured thermostat had a program in schedule.
Inspected ductwork in attic space and found one run kinked feeding Father Michaels bedroom. Recommend installing top take off and panning off other supply. Checked all dampers and found only chapel and supply runs where bedroom is located dampened down. Measured airflows to each space. During visit encountered a problem with thermostat no reading correct temperature. Thermostat reading 68 and setpoint at 71 and thermostat not starting. Removed from wall and placed back on wall and temperatures went to 74/74 and unit came on. Replaced thermostat with Honeywell T6 wifi and setup and tested operation. Left fan in On position.
Performed quality assurance inspection on unit. All looks good.
Arrived onsite to perform Precision Heating Tune Ups for the First Floor System and the Second Floor System. Spoke with Father Micheal upon arrival about issues with the Far rooms on each side of the Second Floor and the First Floor Bedroom that is Supplied by the Second Floor System. Found Thermostat in the Downstairs bedroom was set to "Cool" at 75 Degrees. While this thermostat does not directly Control the System, it does Control the Zone Damper and the Booster Fans. With its setting the Zone Damper was closed causing it to not receive any Heat. After changing Modes to Heating tested, turned the Second Floor System on. Bedroom was at 65 Degrees upon arrival and had reached 72 before leaving. Adjusted the Dampers for the two Far Side Bedrooms/Bathrooms on the Second Floor. Performed Heating Tune Ups on both Systems. Replaced the 213 High Efficiency Filter on the Second Floor Unit and the 413 High Efficiency Filter for the First Floor. Cleaned Drain Lines and inspected Electrical C
Installed new amana outdoor unit on a new plastic pad. Installed new whip and disconnect. Ran new line set into basement of the home. In the basement we installed a new amana gas furnace with a new amana coil on the gas furnace. Adapted to the gas pipe and ran new flue piping to the exterior of the home. We adapted the the return drop and supply plennum. Ran a new condensate drain line to a new condenspump. The pump runs back into the sink but with new vinyl tubing. New outlet and switch was installed onto the side of the new unit. New copper line set was ran. New Honeywell T6 pro thermostat was installed on the first floor. The system was tested in heat and is running to factory standards. *we will need to come back when it’s warmer to test the AC.* Installed a new Bradford white water heater and removed the 3 inch flue piping and capped off the chimney and furnace cemented it so it’s sealed. Water heater was tested and is running to industry standards.
Performed Precision Tune Up on newly installed system which supplies the First Floor of the Home. Chenaged the High Efficiency 213 Air Filter. Performed Humidifier Cleaning and Service. The Humidifier is in very poor Condition. The Humidifier had mold and a lot of corrosion inside. While cleaning the Water Panel Tray, it was breaking due to being brittle. After turning System on tested the Humidifier. The Humidifier is not turning on and is not receiving the proper power. We will have to further diagnose the Humdifier to determine the cause of the issue. When we return to perform the Tune Ups on the other Two Systems we can further troubleshoot the Humdifier. Measured Gas Pressure and Performed Combustion Analysis on further.

Had previously beeen onsite and found system frozen up due to being very low on Refrigerant. Returned to fill system with Refrigerant before the installation of a new system can be installed. Added 6 lbs 8 oz of Refrigerant to system, Charging by Superheat. Temperature Split was at 20 Degrees - Supply 50 Degrees, Return 70 Degrees, and Superheat was at 19 Degrees upon completion.
Service call that the First Floor System was not working properly. Arrived onsite and spoke with Tara about issue. System was set to 68 Degrees and the temperature inside the house on the First Floor was 75. The Compressor and Outdoor Fan we’re running and the Blower Fan was running. The Indoor Coil was completely Frozen solid and the Refrigeration Pipes to the Outdoor Unit and Compressor were completely Frozen. While performing Tune Up in May had found He system was low on Refrigerant and had added 3 lbs. For the Refrigerant to leak out and Freeze the Coil within this short amount of time indicates that there is a significant leak present. Due to the age of the system, 20 Years, and its current condition of loosing refirgerant, recommend replacement of the Furnace and AC. Turned AC off for the First Floor system and put Fan in the On Position. The office will follow up Monday to schedule install for replacement of the Furnace/AC.
Had previously been onsite and found that the Air Conditioner was not working due to the Breaker trippin and had found the Breaker to be failing. Returned to site to install a new Breaker. Homeowner had the replacement breaker. Removed the faulty breaker and installed a new Double 50 Amp Breaker which supplies two Air Conditioning Condenser Units. Turned Both Systems on and tested Operation. Checked Amperage on both Units: The Amana system which is for the Second Floor is drawing 11.4 Amps while in operation. The system for the first Floor of the House is drawing 14.9 Amps while in operation. Turned both systems on multiple times to test operation.
