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.

Opened up sprinkler room door. Found that after leaving door open to outside air, everything came on except thermostat. Checked at back of thermostat and found terminals very corroded.

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.

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.

Performed tuneup on carrier, gas, furnace, tested combustion, and gas pressures for unit as well as checked temperature split. All related ignition components were checked and cleaned including the flame sensor and the hot surface igniter, blower inducer motors were checked an issue with the inducer motor, making a loud whining sound on startup most likely due to bearings failing inside the motor itself amp draw is high for this motor as well and replacement is recommended, no other issues with the unit at this time. Customer was sent an estimate for repairs but we spoke about system replacement due to age and changes that are occurring in the industry, a follow up from a comfort advisor is scheduled for Monday December 9th
