I shook it out & left it in the sun on the front porch to dry while driving the vehicle several miles to fully charge the hybrid battery. I replaced the air filter after it was dry before & after photos below. I also measured the ac return vent at 24”x24” so it may be possible have a pleated air filter installed. I also did not find any standing water anywhere in or around the air conditioner in the attic. Client advised the neighbors below the residence were hearing a buzzing sound possibly from the ac system. I talked to the neighbors & did find the ac condenser outside making an intermittent buzzing sound but was still working.

The water main valve was off upon arrival and off upon departure. When I first open the front door I smelled engine fumes so I opened up the back sliders and the garage doors to ventilate those smells. This probably occurred when the Postrio cleaning company ran their hose through the front door to clean the upholstery and we’re running the gasoline pump motor in their trailer or vehicle. The fumes were just being sucked back unfortunately into the house. All the doors to the bedrooms and bathrooms were closed I opened them so that we would get better air circulation going forward.
