Looking at the pictures more closely it is not even the date of when they were here. I had a small locally owned independent company come out to give me their opinion. They found NO cracks and stated the duct work is totally sufficient for my home. I feel I was perhaps scammed. Independent contactor restarted furnace and ran carbon monoxide test and detected absolutely no carbon monoxide. I hesitate but am inclined to inform authorities of possible deceptive business practice.

Technician showed up an hour and 15 min late, shrugged shoulders saying he had a long drive across town. Said it would take him an hour for the check-up on the AC, but he'd try to hurry. He was done in less than 15 minutes so I question how thorough he was. Did not review any of his findings. Did not ask if I had any questions, but asked if I wanted to renew my yearly check-up ... and I said definitely not. Also, was not contacted about my yearly AC check-up until August ... at the tail end of the summer. If I had problems with my AC, they should have been doing check-ups early in the season. In the past, the technicians have been wonderful, but this guy was awful.

It's very nice to have someone sit down and explain things to me, he didn't rush and I felt like he cared about the service he was providing, he's great

Went for a check in. Talked to customer about our membership. Did the transition. Will have membership for 1 year free. Once membership expires, renewal will have to be made. Installed smart ac sensors. Customer was able to login into account. Checked static pressure static was in factory specifications. System are both running before leaving. Thank you for choosing LBA services.
Went for a maintenance call today. Started at the furnace. Did a static pressure test, it was high. After adjusting the blower speed, it passed. Did a cubic feet per meter count, it passed. Temp split between the supply and return duct passed. Blower motor amperage passed. After analyzing the blower wheel, I noticed it was dirty. Changed filter due to being dirty. Outside unit got washed. The amperage for the compressor and the fan motor passed. The capacitor passed as well. Thank you for choosing LBA Services!
Gary and Cindy said they would have fixed the air flow when the equipment was installed a year and a half ago, but we hadn’t rolled out the airflow program yet. Got approval to offer retroactive airflow pricing, primarily for the 2 and 1 star duct packages. Cindy is diabetic and was hungry and overwhelmed. Following up on Monday so they have the opportunity to settle on their preferred solution.
Arrived for AC maintenance today. Started at furnace and checked static pressure, temperature splits, drains, filter, blower wheel, blower motor. Static is failing at this time, a field supervisor will be out to discuss. Put in our high velocity filter to ease some of the pressure. Wheel is starting to collect dust and could be cleaned. At the ac unit refrigerant was good. Capacitor is reading within specs. Running amps are good. I rinsed coil clean. System is running upon leaving. Thanks for choosing LBA.

Joy mentioned that the upstairs, particularly the room above the garage, has never really kept up when it is hot out. Her system is pulling in only half of the required air, causing irreversible damage to both her indoor and outdoor systems. The airflow system is broken. The air pressure at the system is so high that it causing the unit to “whistle”. Pulled registers to help relieve some back pressure as a temporary measure and increased the temperature at the thermostat so the system wouldn’t run as often. Joy said she needs to go over a few things. Joy wants to select and schedule her preferred option at that time.
Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Started inspection inside and measured a temperature split between return and supply air. Measured power consumption of the blower motor and checked system for cleanliness. Found bacterial growth present on the condensation pan for the evaporator coil and the blower wheel is coated in dust debris. Performed a static pressure test and found that the system is operating within manufacturers specifications. Went outside and verified system refrigerant charge. Verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the condenser. Rinsed coil free of debris. Spoke with homeowner about the system. Air conditioning system is operational at this time.
Performed full inspection, presented options for replacing a few issues. Performed water line check and adjusted to different location per request
The airflow packages and pricing vary per job. They also wouldn’t make sense to customers if a customer doesn’t know what’s going on. Only way for customer to understand wahatsngoinf on Andy the pricing included would be if we go over that stuff with them. That said we don’t just email prices because that would be in vain.
Showed customer failed airflow readings and why we were getting those readings. We talked about options and what could be done and what was most cost efficient. Customer would like a second set of eyes on heat exchanager. I left customer my number and set up a follow up call for next week.
Arrived for AC MAINTENANCE. Ran static pressure test and found it to be operating above designer max static. We opened up vents in the home and installed a clean filter. Static pressure dropped some but is still failing. With the inspection camera we found a crack in the heat exchanger. Showed home owner the crack and signed a red tag. Called out supervisor to finish diagnosis on static pressure. Ran amp draw on outdoor unit and everything passed. Good charge on refrigerant. Performed coil cleaning. AC is operating well at this time, furnace is disabled due to unsafe operating conditions.
Ductless System Installation: Responding to a client's need for targeted cooling, we suggested and installed a ductless air conditioning system. This addressed their desire for zone-specific climate control, ensuring customized comfort throughout the home. Routine maintenance checks were recommended to uphold the system's efficiency.
During maintenance I found that the customer flu pipe is in need of change left customer a quote. Everything else checked out nothing in need of attention today except what was explained
