Changed second stage back to auto on York unit in attic. Checked fault history and got codes of 11 and 4. This would be from blower not starting. Customer says fan won’t run when they switch fan setting on stat from auto to on. I verified that by jumping g and y terminal on board, blower does not come on. I will order a new blower motor and wheel under warranty. Parts are covered, customer will be responsible for labor charge. I Will also get the control board just in case. While checking the furnace I noticed the bulb has expired in the Reme halo air cleaner. Quoted $400 to replace bulb or $500 to put in a plasma pure air cleaner. Customer also wishes to change out their current thermostat upstairs to just a basic thermostat without programming. Quoted $99 for new stat.

System runs now after second stage kicks in after pressure switch was replaced but will only run for about 5 minutes before shutting off and restarting. I added a coffee stirrer in port for collector box and pressure switch tubing to eliminate the possibility of water droplet blocking port hole. Control board would be the next step of replacing to see if that would fix issue but can’t guarantee it would. Customer has had issues with system in the past and have elected to get new equipment rather than continue spending money on this one. Appointment is scheduled tomorrow morning at 9 for an estimate to replace equipment.

Drain trap on Lennox furnace is damaged and leaking water. Ordering a new trap and will return to replace when we receive part.
