Parkersburg WV Heating, AC Repair & Plumber

Maintenance check on 21 yr old arcoaire system. Repaired damaged stat line going to ac that caused a short. Ac unit is low on r22 refrigerant. Power cord whip was damaged but voltage line is fine for now. Signs of oil inside electrical cabinet from a previous capacitor failure. Furnace has a high heat rise of 80 degrees and blower motor is pulling high amps. Capacitor for blower motor has already been replaced. Customer declined refilling refrigerant for now and has requested an quote for new equipment. Estimate is scheduled tomorrow 3-5pm.

Performed maintenance on equipment. Filter size is a 20-25-1. Changed failing capacitor on blower motor and verified working status of surge protector on new air conditioner. Renewed comfort club for another year and everything is working properly at this time.

Customer said that furnace ran for 5 minutes then quit and had no lights on the control board. When I arrived furnace was still not working, but flashing code 8 for loss of flame. Stored error code was a 12 for loose or missing model plug. Furnace has had flame sensor, gas valve, and control board replaced in the past. Could not reproduce error. Flame sensor wire checked ok at 0.1 ohms. Checked grounding to power cord ground from different places in the furnace. All checked ok. Customer said this started after the ac was changed. On new coil furnace power cord was only long enough to plug into top outlet. Changed receptacle in case it was originally plugged into the bottom outlet and the top one is getting weak. Also noticed in the past customer said it seems to happen when furnace switches from low to high heat. Changed low voltage wiring so that the 8476 operates as a single stage stat and the staging is done at the board in the furnace. If problem persists may need to change wiring

Unit wasn’t running because motor had water in it. There was some gunk in the drain ports keeping water from draining. Did heating maintenance today to clear gunk, also emptied water out of motor. Put everything back together and tested operation of system. Tenants are heavy smokers and you can see build up of tingy brown on unit. Reme halo would help with smoke in the home.

1991 Lennox pulse is putting out carbon monoxide. Customer alarm went off last night and fire department traced it back to furnace. Filter that was in unit had gaps on the edges so dirt was getting past filter and collecting on blower wheel. Customer is getting a quote to replace furnace today 1-3pm.

Customer was not interested in maintenance agreement.

HVAC Maintenance on 2017 York split system using AA413 filter. Owed check, customer is not currently home to discuss option of renewal for recently expired plan. Will leave quote attached to invoice for reference if interested. Outdoor dual capacitor rated for 35/5mfd is reading low however is still currently in range. Noting size in case it drops any lower in the future. All other checks good.

AC maintenance service call. Performed air conditioning tune-up checklist on 2005 Trane split system w/ 16x25x1 filter. All checks good at this time, system is operating properly. Customer has Cozy HVAC Plus monthly

Found two separate leaks. One at suction line service valve and one in liquid line connection. Ordering new valve under warranty. Will repair other leak when we replace service valve. Customer would be responsible for refrigerant cost.

Air conditioning maintenance check on both hvac systems. Performed AC tune-up, Changed both air filters. Surge protection on ac units are still in good condition. Renew maintenance plan.

Coleman modular furnace and Lennox a/c using (2x) 16x20x1 filters. All checks good at this time. Customer noted that about every spring they seem to need r-22 refrigerant added, however as of todays visit I’m finding good pressures, capacitor is in range, cleaned out coil, and about 22 degree temp difference from system. Given age, condition, and refrigerant type, I would highly recommend considering replacement of equipment. Customer said unit kept up well during recent 85+ degree days, but we are just starting the summer season and may expect to return if leak shows more aggressively. Customer will renew Cozy HVAC Plus today.

York split system using washable filter. All checks good at this time. Customer will renew and a bill has been sent.

Mini split system for shop area is not covered under current maintenance agreement. Did not charge anything for diagnostics today but informed customer we can add unit to maintenance plan for $100. Mini split has a code f3 for discharge temperature error. Found that unit is empty of refrigerant. When I disconnected gauge from unit I found that the Schrader valve core was not seated properly. Customer only wanted diagnostic and does not want repair.

20 yr old furnace not heating. Unit flashing code 1 for failed ignition. Reset power and unit fired right up and heated home. Possible flame sensor issue or intermittent gas valve operation. Did heating maintenance check on furnace which includes cleaning the flame sensor. Combustion analysis showed elevated levels of carbon monoxide in the flue(144ppm). Levels are still in safe range but will gradually get worse as unit ages. Installed surge protection on furnace. Condensate pump for furnace is not working and unit was leaking water. Customer has elected to buy another pump and replace themselves. Left quote for pump and gas valve.
