Performed furnace tuneup

Repairs are for the following. -1st and 2nd floor are getting blower cleanings. -1st floor blower cap is getting replaced. -2nd floor blower motor is getting replaced.

Technician arrived on site and started a 3 unit furnace tune up. Furnaces are located in the attic access in the master closet. Visual inspection revealed the units had not been serviced in awhile. Dust covered both inside and outside of unit. Had to give them a cleaning. Both electrical and burner cabinets were bad. 1st floor unit issues: -temperature rise is close to max -blower wheel is completely covered in dirt. Needs a pull and clean. -hot surface igniter ohms reading high. Indicating the part will fail soon. -blower cap is out of range. Blower motor will not work if this isn’t changed soon. -return duct is undersized. Causing a high temp rise and the blower cap to fail. 2nd floor unit issues: -blower motor amperage is almost exceeding the data plate rating. Indicating the motor is failing. -blower wheel is covered in dirt. Needs pull and clean. -hot surface igniter ohms reading high. - static pressure is over the data plate rating at .6 3rd floor unit: This unit

Performed maintenance on a 2006 Amana heating and air furnace. Further inspection of the electrical components looked to all be within working range at this time. Temperature rise within the system was within range at a 42 degrees difference. The furnace is an up flow in the attic. The condensate lines were free and clear however it is missing a safety float switch. Due to the layout of the up flow it is recommended a float switch is installed to save any drainage damage that can happen in the future.

Performed furnace maintenance on a 2012 Goodman high efficiency furnace. Upon arrival customer informed me she can hear system running despite the system being set in the off position. I found the system had a digital ventilation controller that was set to 35 minutes per hour. Customer was notified and requested to set to 15 minutes per hour. During furnace maintenance I found all electrical components to be in proper working range. I found a decent amount of dust In the blower motor housing which can get into the air stream. Customer was notified of my findings.

Arrived on site to replace U.v light and catalyst kit in system. No work done on system itself and client is aware we just returned just to replace kit. U.V light is operational and lit. System is operational upon departure.

Upon arrival performed maintenance on 2 airflow heating systems. Cycled systems on and off, verified heating order of operations. Found blower wheels to have dust build up. This can cause blower wheel to go off balance. Indoor motors have slight oil leaking. Amperages throughout system good. Temp rise splits in range. Flame sensors cleaned. No distribution boxes on returns, ducts tapped into caging of furnace. Secondary motor controls low & out of range. - dirty blower wheels - no distribution boxes - heat exchangers have major heat spots Advised client that heat exchangers could be damaged, needed to pull heat exchanger to verify crack, client declined. Recommended to get low level co detectors. Systems both reset tested and fully functional.

Arrived on site to perform fall tune on a 2019 Lennox system. System located in attic. client stated no issues. Cycled thermostat and was good. Found some black flex and some new flex ducting. filter was dirty recommended replacing filtration. As it is over due replacement. and should be doing so every 1-2 years. Blower assembly is good. Motor is good. Amp drawls are good. Inducer motor is good and amp draws are in range. Exchanger is good. Evaporator oil was good. Drain lines was good. All safety switches are operational and good. Temperature rise is good and on range and heating home good. Found on protection on either unit would recommend adding surge protectors on system to prevent and protect system from getting damaged from electrical surges and power outages that can damage or even short out system and components. Cycled system to ensure system operating. Went over all findings And recommendations with and would like to sign up on maintenance plan and replace U.v replacement kit

Performed furnace maintenance on 2006 two system Carrier Heaters. During my maintenance I found a few safety concerns and points of failure that may occur. Downstairs furnace- 1. Inspected heat exchanger and found that stamps have cracked due to Airflow restrictions and over heating temperatures over time. Performed hydrotest to confirm that stamps are cracked and verified that all three cells On the heat exchanger assembly are compromised. Due to the heat exchanger becoming compromised there is a potential chance Combustion gases Could enter the airstream once the blower motor turns on. 2. Measure static pressure and found a total of 0.69wc. Recommended manufacture Airflow is rated at 0.50wc. 3. Temperature rise Measured at 57° manufacture specifications rated at 60. 4. Scroll Wheel was covered in dust and debris due to 1 inch filters not being swapped out consistently, recommend to do every one to three months. 5. Indoor blower motor hod oil leakage coming from bearing, The lubrica

Upon arrival performed maintenance on furnace system. Cycled system on and off for heating, went through operations of heat make sure everything was working properly. Found secondary motor control to begin going out of range. Indoor motor is leaking oil with a dirty blower wheel, dirty blower wheel can cause to put weight and make motor work harder then normal. Inducer draft motor is over amping, working harder then what it is specified for. Circuit board and electrical connections good. Evap coil clean. Heat exchanger has a lot of heat marks and weak points, did saftey check to make sure system is not damaged. Did not identify any cracks. Temp rise in range. Return ducting is very undersized. Supply ducting is good. Recommend adding another return ducting to help bring more airflow into system. Client could not go over options due to being at a meeting. Sent over information.

Estimate to reconnect condenser. Deep vacuum for lineset / evaporator coil and compressor. Nitrogen purge and complete recharge.

Arrived on site to perform furnace maintenance on 2 10 year old Bryant furnaces. Cycled systems for heat. Verified proper heating sequence of operations. Tested all heating components and safety equipment. Furnaces do not have sediment traps on gas valves. Cleaned and wiped off furnace exterior as well as blower assemblies and heating compartment. Cleaned flame sensors. Replaced 1 inch filters. Ran systems through 20 point inspection. Indoor blower wheels are both dirty. Secondary motor control for both indoor motors are out of range, and both indoor motors are running hot and have lost a significant amount of oil. Evaporator coils are also both dirty, causing a slight restriction in airflow and causing motors to work harder as well. Pulled off evaporator coil covers to inspect heat exchangers. Heat exchanger chambers do have some hot spots throughout. Went over findings and recommendations with homeowner. Did explain condition of the units, as well as all recommendations. Went over fi

arrived on site to install surge protector on condenser unit. Installed surge protector. Cycled system in cooling and Ac to ensure system operational. System is operational upon departure.

Quality control check and crack verification

Performed furnace maintenance on 2001, 2 system Bryant heater. Upon the maintenance this is turned into a diagnostic duty heaters both being non-operational and tripping on high limit. 1. Found temperature rise was 83° which is incredibly high from what it is specified on the data plate 2. Both high limit switches are going bad due to it consistently in the years before being tripped. 3. Heat exchanger from downstairs was verified cracked. Discovered the crack on a dimple due to high temperature rise and low Airflow. 4. Downstairs blower scroll wheel was off-balance creating a screeching noise readjusted and noise is gone Recommendations- 1. Replace heat exchanger if available 2. Increase airflow by cutting in new return intake 3. Replace both high limits to prevent heating problems 4. System replacement options
