Unit was in Lennox “watch guard” hard lockout. Reset power and cycled system. Ran for a couple minutes and then shut off on open high limit. Found clogged filter. Inspected heat exchanger. Heat exchanger pitted and rusted pretty bad. Removed filter and tested unit. Unit ran for 20 minutes with no issues. Installed new air filter.

Fully assessed no heating situation. Found indoor unit running but not outdoor unit and Mitsubishi thermostat saying no signal reset power to outdoor disconnect and everything came on. Indoor head had a 30° temperature rise . At this point system just needed a reset and no other issues at this time. System is working fine at time of service.

Modify return air ductwork and remove existing media filter to install Healthway Super V high efficiency filter cabinet in its place for both systems located in the basement. Install new ApcoX air scrubbers in supply air plenum over evaporator coils for maximum effectiveness.

Fully assessed heating situation. Found Mitsubishi Thermostat stuck In wait mode. Found that this is a communication error between outdoor and indoor units. Found 132 psi for standing at outdoor unit. Will need to order all boards inside and out. Also found thermostat terminals at battery. Very corroded. Will also need to get new Mitsubishi thermostat, took photos of thermostat. Our office to provide estimate. Could be further issues after boards are changed.

Heat pump system 6 month check up. Checked the wiring connections on unit set up and inspected the coil and blower on the indoor unit. Checked the air filter . Checked the electric heat operation. Checked my safeties and drain trap . Set the thermostat to heat mode. Went to the outdoor unit. Remove the cover and checked all components. Check voltages and amp draws. The heat pump system is working fine at this time of service. Recommended in an upgrade kit for his Aprilaire 2200 . Quoted $245.50 customer will review.

Assess no heating situation. Found thermostat locked out on UL error code. Looked up error code and found it to be a low refrigerant error code. Put gauges on the system and found 65 psi standing pressure. Found flare fitting leaking at indoor head. Recommend removing all charge and fixing the flare joints Pump system down and add factory charge to get unit back up an operation. Provided estimate to repair.

Fully assessed no heating situation. Found thermostat displaying stuck in wait mode. Them said no signal. Check for 240 V at outdoor disconnect had 240 V and outdoor disconnect. Outdoor boards were not into indoor unit. All boards at outdoor unit and indoor board needs to be replaced. Don’t know if any other further issues Until these boards are replaced. And had 162 psi for a standing pressure at mini split heat pump office to provide repair estimate.

Blower motor of indoor head in sun room is very noisy. Homeowner said it’s been getting gradually worse for a year or so. This sound is internal to the motor and is not caused by anything external. I brake unit down as far needed to check for any obstructions, causes etc We will provide estimate replace both motor and blower wheel. I cleaned filters and I also cleaned all washable filters and vacuumed coil and top of indoor head for the art studio unit. There was a fine dust there. Temperature rise is ok. And system has been performing well otherwise. I asked that they move the furniture, drawers that are directly underneath unit to make it accessible when the time comes. I recorded all equipment info. Our staff will provide estimate ASAP.

Arrived on site to perform 6 month inspection on new Bosch install. Spoke to Zach and he said that everything has been working fine with new system. I tested system in heat pump mode and had a 36° delta t. Showing normal operation. I checked over system and made sure everything looked as it should. I put unit in auxiliary heat mode propane. I had a 49° air temperature rise. I performed a combustion test on unit.

Performed QA on Bosch Heat Pump/Coil install on an existing oil furnace. Homeowner had questions about the scheduling features and the reminders on the thermostat. He said their was an alert the other night for Aux Heat running above 35 Degrees. Found his sleep temp set to 64 and awake temp set to 68. This 4 degrees is over the 2.9 Degrees Auxiliary Heat droop. We went through and adjusted the sleep temperature to 65 degrees to help alleviate the oil furnace from running. Also adjusted the hold setting so it was following the schedule instead of a permanent hold. Tested system in heat pump and turned the Auxiliary Heat on to make sure the oil furnace would run. Tested ez trap safety and filled condensation pump. Completed checklist form in system. No additional follow up needed.

Replace failed blower motor. Found blower motor rocking back-and-forth when I arrived. Turned off power and removed all electrical. Remove blower and blower housing from air handler. Sanded rusted shaft and removed from blower wheel. Installed new X 13 blower motor and tested operation both in heating mode and fan only mode. Heat pump is working fine again at time of service. Temperature rise is 22°.

Discussed goals and concerns with client, completed full assessment of home, took all relevant pictures and measurements, and went over solutions with customer prior to leaving. Was not able to do a proposal in Home due to time constraints with the client and set the expectation that he will receive a proposal by the end of the week.
