Arrived and found the primary and secondary pan filled with water. The float switch did turn the system off but water was coming out of one if the caps on the ez trap. Cleared the drain and the water started to drain out of the primary pan. Had to remove 20-25 gallons of water out of the secondary pan and pour it out outside. Tested the system operation after. After the 3rd floor repair Amy had found one of the air handlers in the basement was leaking water. Found that condensate drain clogged as well. Cleared it and the water drained from the primary pan. These systems need annual maintenance done each year so these issues don’t continue to happen.

The return grill in the dining room is undersized. The system includes cutting an additional return grill into the floor of the first floor. Ductwork modifications at the furnace will be made. The breaker in the electrical panel will need to be upgraded, not included. Note: the system is also available and heil, a United Technologies company, for the same price. Identical technology with 10 year no hassle replacement guarantee on the compressor.

Arrived and found the first floor system off. Opened the side door to find the system tripped on a 6 flash error code. It was for missing phase. There was some thunderstorms earlier that could have caused this, unsure. Reset and the system started operating normally.
Noah D.
Arrived and the customer stated with the thermostat off the outdoor condenser would still run. Pulled the cover off and found the contactor pulled in. Tested for voltage between the coil terminals and had no voltage. The contactor was very burnt up and was sticking. Once I tapped on the contactor it opened the contact. Replaced the contactor under warranty. The indoor coil is still pretty frozen since the condenser was running without the blower on. The customer is gonna leave it off for a couple hours until it thaws and will test it. Operation most likely will be okay since the contactor was the issue. He will call if it is not working properly when he starts it.

Arrived at customer home to inspect a leak coming from first floor lav drain. Upon arriving I noticed customer had a special style of sink that I was unfamiliar with I asked customer if they knew how to remove the vanity covering the pipe. CUSTOMER TOUCHED SINK WALL AND WALL CAME APART. I then inspected the sink more and noticed that a section of the sink just comes up. Removed top section of the sink and disconnected drain and teflon every thread and applied plumbers putting to sink drain. I then out every back together and tested drain. Drain wasn’t leaking. Customer will get a contractor to make repair to sink wall.

Replaced the blower motor belt on the first floor system. Tightened the motor down after adjusting the tension and tested the system. System is operating properly n

All equipment is three phase power. Building lost one leg of power and no equipment will work. Need to return in morning once power is restored to building 8/20/21. Found third floor unit completely empty on refrigerant. Per Walters instructions charged system to get by for the weekend. Also. We’d to pressure test exposed equipment and piping. A lot of lineset is underground. Also need to see why arris unit is so follow service call needs to be set for Tuesday. Arrived Tuesday 8/25/21. The second floor unit BCU-5 has a burnt out contactor relay on the air handler. Spoke with N&S to get pricing and availability on the part. Waiting for a call back from Rob. Went downstairs to one of the first floor systems to find the belt very loose. The belt is the wrong size. Spoke with many hvac suppliers and even auto parts stores to search for the belt. Earliest we can get it is tomorrow morning from Hopewell auto. Amy will be picking up the belt Thursday morning at 9am for us to install it.

Found failed expansion tank causing relief to leak. Replaced extrol 60#, air vent and relief valve. Flushed all antifreeze from zones, and checked hot water operation and pressure never exceeded 20psi. *****boiler needs to be antifreezed before winter. Bill from office.

Completed annual maintenance on 5 ac systems.

Found condenser locked out on low pressure fault code. Found system pressures dropping after a few minutes of operation. Found high side king valve had a slow leak. Recharged system to proper operating pressures and temperatures.
Noah D.
Arrived and heard a slight whistle coming from the return. From previous calls and experience this has happened due to the way the air passes over the return grill. I removed the grill and the sound stopped. Simply flipped the grill the opposite way and the noise stopped. The system is operating normally.
Noah D.
Performed ac tune up x2. Replaced the filters and cleared the drains. Both the systems are in rough condition. Went over the systems with the customer. They are 20 years old. I would not recommend putting any money into the systems. Replacement is the best option at this point. The customer will wait till they break down to replace them.
Tony P.
Found dirty fingerprint marks on both attic hatches. Repainted with customer supplied paint. (She had very little paint, hardly any). Covered fingerprints up and customer is satisfied. Also examined hard wood floors upstairs for any signs of dirt, scuffs or scratches. Customer states we dragged a ladder across her newly finished floors during last service. I found absolutely no scratches or scuffs anywhere on hard floors. Customer states she cleaned the scuffs upon my arrival. Attached are several photos of paint and floors.
Greg M.
Completed installation of communicating system thermostat. Performed installer configuration and start up of system. System cycled in first and second stage. Checked pressures and temperatures. Emergency drain pan in attic tilted to side. Not sure of reason but no water in pan at the moment. Took pictures. Need to call customer for balance payment in morning. Customer was not home.

Re-routed 16x8 supply truck coming off front of plenum. Trunk now runs along outside wall. Moved supply on other trunk from endcap to side for clearance. Changed 8†return to flex from hard pipe, all modifications were to create more space and ceiling height as they are finishing the basement.

Noah D.
Arrived and found power to the air handler. Had 24v to the thermostat but the thermostat was not coming on. The thermostat is specific for this unit. We would have to order the thermostat. We need to replace the thermostat to have the screen come on to see if there are any other issues. The customer is ordering the thermostat herself with amazon. She will call if it does not work.
Noah D.
