12/15/22: Paper towel was stuffed in the kitchen sink drains, pulled ran and replaced. The toilet in the bathroom behind the kitchen flushed this service call. The HVAC air handler ran during the service call, however the air temperature coming from all of the vents is over 76. This indicates that the system while it does run is not cooling and should be probably looked at by a technician. The humidity level inside your condo is above 66%. I spoke with the client he suggested leaving the system run until his AC people can get here to look at it. I will leave the lockbox at the front door.12/15/22: I moved the thermostat down to degrees from 78° to 76° based on the 61.7% humidity inside. This is a frequent occurrence this time of year when the temperature outside rarely reaches the temperature of the setting of the thermostat inside which means the system does not run. The system needs to run in order to remove the humidity. The system is cooling as I turned it down to make sure each of the vans I checked were in the mid-60s or lower.
12/15/22: The dehumidifier read 45. I poured vinegar down the HVAC condensate tube I then chased it with water. There were dead ants on the master bedroom window sill and I found some along the guest bedroom wall on the floor under the night light, I swept these up.
12/14/22: Shut water off to the pool
12/14/22: The master bathroom sink closest to the toilet has very little water flow. I found no pest or evidence of pest upstairs in the attic. One section of the child safety gate around the pool was not latched, I latched it.
12/14/22: Pool pump draws from the bottom drain per client. Weeds beginning to grow in the cracks of the driveway, reported last service call. The armadillo hole out front is not being used by an armadillo as most of the big stuff is still in front of the hole but it has been moved around a bit. Maybe a rabbit, snake, or other animal but certainly not an armadillo.
12/14/22: I made sure all toilet valves are off, all the faucets and shower heads were off as well. The humidity inside is relatively high but it’s also a very humid day it’s not uncommon for homes to be running a bit high. However your house is running consistently higher than 60% humidity, I believe this is because your fan continues to run on the HVAC air handler even after the system ends the cooling cycle. I looked on the thermostat to see if I could find an auto setting for the fan but there isn’t one that I can see. I can tell you from experience that when a system has the fan running but not cooling humidity will build. Maybe the issue doesn’t present itself in the summer because it runs so frequently but currently it is not running frequently because of the temperature outside. I can’t tell you when the system does run it is cooling well into the lower 60s within the supply vents. Your pool level is very low, so I am running water into it while I go provide service in communities down the street. You are the only house this week in SN so I will have to drive back this direction from Island Walk.

12/14/22: Removed the perishable items from the refrigerator. The humidity level was still over the acceptable level of 60% inside the residence from the ac not turning on enough throughout the day due to lower outside temperatures.

I unlocked the shed so Imperial could put all the storm shutters back inside the shed. They were able to get all the broken wing nuts off & stated that wing nuts tend get brittle over time causing them to break when being fastened. There were messages on the security system keypad concerning one of the sensors on the living room sliding glass doors see photos below. I replaced the battery with a new CR2450 battery provided next to the keypad & the message appeared to go away. I made sure everything was locked up & activated the alarm when leaving. 8:30am-9:30am
