Completed heat tune up for 80,000 BTU communicating Daikin furnace. Homeowner will order replacement feed tray and housing for Aprilaire 700 humidifier. Replaced 16x25x1 filter Inspected burners, heat exchanger, inducer assembly, pressure switches. Cleaned flame sensor and verified flame rectification circuit Ignitor in good condition verified ohm reading. Confirmed proper manifold gas pressures Inspected wiring, controls blower motor has surge protection. I notic d that because the HVAC drain terminates at the sump and the radon mitigation system is pulling from sump, there is a vacuum on the hvac drain. The homeowner has struggled to keep radon under ideal levels. I left estimate to install 115V condensate pump, add a receptacle for pump, repipe the humidifier to new pump and run new vinyl tubing to the standpipe of water treatment system. See photos. This will isolate the hvac drains from the radon mitigation system. *Because the new pump will be outside the equipment pan I als

Found error code “35” at Bryant communicating propane furnace. Gas Valve fault. There is a 4 pin connector between control board and gas valve. There was corrosion and dirt build up on the back 2 pins on the gas valve wiring connection. The corresponding points on the wiring harness where these pins connect also has some watermarks. See photos. I cleaned the buildup off these pins and tested furnace. The trial for ignition completed normal. I also checked for any other causes of interruptions (open pressure switches, open limits, etc.) Measured inducer draft at all stages of modulation using a manometer tee’d into pressure switch. No other faults observed. Combustion test pass. Although cleaning electrical connections fixed problem and furnace is working now, I would still replace valve considering corrosion and likelihood this could happen again. We will provide gas valve replacement quote ASAP.

Inspected all accessible areas of ductwork for air tightness. Turned fan on. Velocity at supply registers Good The closet attic access was not accessible. They didn’t know we had to get there to truly inspect all the ductwork. Homeowner as busy with work and asked that we reschedule inspection for another time and she will have access ready for us. I made the suggestion to inspect the rest of ductwork during next cooling tune up because that is when the system previously was struggling. She know to have area ready for our access when we notify her.
