Today, I arrived on site for a heating maintenance check. Found the filter slightly dirty and replaced it. Inducer was making a light buzzing noise but amping properly. No condensation was present in the housing. Blower wheel and housing are in good condition at this time. Noted a hard start sound when the blower starts. Blower capacitor is functioning properly. Temperature rise is good, and the furnace is heating effectively. System lacks humidity control. Discovered an object over the duct that was rattling; removed it to eliminate the noise.

Heat Pump Not Working: Today, I arrived on site to address a no heat issue with the heat pump. System Condition: Found a dirty filter. Ducts are dirty and in need of cleaning. Air handler evaporator coil requires cleaning. Blower wheel and housing also need cleaning. Electric heater kit (5kw) is not operating, likely burnt out due to air restrictions. Recommendations: Discussed duct cleaning with the owner. Suggested replacing the electric heat due to the current failure. Recommended a deep clean of the air handler after duct cleaning. Advised adding a surge protector to the unit to prevent further damage from electric heat failure. Heat Pump Observations: Outside heat pump needs cleaning. Pressures are dropping, but head pressures remain stable, possibly due to a dirty evaporator coil. Filter replacement is necessary, considering the outdoor temperature. Capacitor and contactor are functioning but should be replaced every 5 years. Noted that the heat pump lacks surge

No Heat Unit Will Not Turn On: I arrived at my customer home for outdoor heat pump not running I did a full system check and found outdoor fan and compressor not running someone else replaced a 35 UF for a 45 UF dual capacitor customer say system run for 2 days and shut down I recommend a replacement of compressor and outdoor fan or replacement of the entire outdoor unit or the full system customer like an estimate for just the outside unit I provide an estimate for replacement system not working at this time customer will call back when ready.
