Precision heat tuneup on Bosch gas furnace. Switch system over to heat pump and gas furnace mode. Clean flame sensor check resistance of hot surface igniter. Checked all drain tubing. Customer talked about not getting enough airflow to second floor. During install we installed manual dampers in the ductwork. Opened up second floor damper to about 45° angle. Replaced 16 x 25 x 1“ air filter serviced humidifier with number 35 humidifier pad and wipe out tracking. Performed combustion test. Gas furnace is working fine at time of service.

Discussed goals and concerns with the homeowners, reviewed work completed by other contractors and completed full audit of home, including blower door test. May need to return to get remaining data for energy audit, but will try to have the homeowner provide as much as possible to avoid that. He would like to see the report prior to providing payment, so we may want to hold off on batching for this job until that time. The expectation is to have the report completed within one week.

Found system at 45 psi low side pressure. Immediately cuts off on low pressure safety. Head pressure spikes dramatically. These are indications of (1) Serious refrigerant leak and (2) EEV metering device issues. Could not pinkpoint leak using electronic leak detectors. Given age of equipment I encouraged investing in new system. Discussed with homeowners they would like system upgrade quote ASAP. I took all relevant measurements and communicated with Joe. They do not want a separate consultation. Joe will email options ASAP. Equipment is 5 Ton HP with 20KW electric heat kit. 18/10 wire between thermostat and AH.

Oil furnace locked out 1 time 2 weeks ago (homeowner reset primary control)ago and was locked out this morning. History showed “did not light”. I inspected heat exchanger and flues for soot. They are clean. Nozzle in good condition. Electrodes were worn and slightly misaligned. I showed homeowner side by side of the worn electrodes and new and he agreed to replace. I replaced electrodes and tested furnace. Cycled several times and monitored ohm value of cad cell eye as well as “time to light” (ranged between 1 and 3 secomds) Also made slight adjustment to weight of barometric damper. Draft is good -.034>-.04” Combustion tests pass. Furnace operating well at this time.

Arrived for boiler leaking water. Once I got down to the boiler, I did see a trail of water inside the cabinet , found water sitting under the base of the condensate pump boiler seems to be fine. Nothing is leaking from any of the pipes , may have something to do with the condensate pump. I filled the pump up with water to test and found a pinhole in the 3/8 tubing from the condensate pump. I pulled out the failed piece of 3/8 tubing and ran a new section. Once completed. I tested the pump again. No issues also made sure the 3/8 tubing was secured to sidewall away from all the piping. I turned the boiler back on everything is back up and running like normal at this time of service, no charge brand new boiler , u def a year old .

Upon arrival for no hot water customer reset break and water heater is working again. He said that water heater throws two flashes for pressure switch stuck closed. He explained to me that you have to tap power venter and reset breaker for unit to work. I removed venting from power venter to inspect both for debris and both were clean. I took cover off to pressure switch and hose was not kinked and didn’t see any issues. I went outside to check venting outside and it has a screen and 45° elbow for termination as required. I didn’t want to dig too far into power venter without speaking to Rheem since it is 7 months old. Contacted Rheem and they are shipping the entire power venter to Jeremiah. Told Jeremiah to contact us when it came in and we will come and replace it.
