Removed and replaced the existing 50-gallon electric water heater with a new Bradford White unit, reconnecting the copper supply piping, expansion tank, and electrical supply, then tested for proper operation with no leaks. Also verified the water pressure reducing valve and shutoff valve assembly accessed through the wall opening.
Responded to a no-heat call and inspected the gas furnace/air handler installation, including the refrigerant line set, condensate drain piping with condensate pump, and surrounding utility space. Evaluated the unit's condition and provided a furnace replacement estimate.
Performed an on-site evaluation of an electric tank-style water heater in the basement utility area and found corrosion streaking along the tank exterior, along with moisture staining on the floor at the base, indicating a probable tank leak and end of service life. Inspected the copper supply piping, soldered fittings, and wall-mounted expansion tank, and documented the condition with photos to support replacement of the unit.
Performed annual maintenance on the gas furnace, inspecting the burner compartment, igniter and flame sensor wiring, gas valve, and PVC vent connections, with no visible rust, frost, or damage found. Verified a stable blue burner flame and conducted a combustion analysis, recording 8.0% O2 and 32 ppm CO, which is within acceptable limits. Noted dark residue staining on the flue piping and couplings, and the system is operating normally at completion.
Responded to a no-heat call on a gas-fired storage water heater with a pilot that would not stay lit. Inspected the unit, gas control valve, and burner compartment, and verified the supply piping and flue connections were intact with no signs of leaks or rust. Checked system water pressure at the utility sink gauge to confirm the water supply was within normal operating range.
Performed a heating system maintenance inspection on a gas furnace, verifying burner ignition with a clean, stable blue flame and inspecting the gas valve, manifold, and wiring for damage, with no visible rust, frost, or breakage. Conducted combustion analysis with a Testo 310, recording Oâ‚‚ at 8.9% and CO at 49 ppm, and the system remains operational with combustion readings documented for ongoing monitoring.
Responded to active water leak originating from shower valve assembly with visible water damage to dining room ceiling below. Upon inspection, identified significant moisture intrusion evidenced by brown discoloration and staining pattern on ceiling surface. Created access opening in wall to expose shower mixing valve and supply lines. Discovered failed connection at shower valve causing water to leak through wall cavity and penetrate dining room ceiling. Repaired compromised plumbing connection and addressed copper supply line configuration to restore proper water flow and eliminate leak source.
Responded to service call for 6-year-old furnace experiencing delayed ignition requiring multiple start attempts. Inspected ignition system, flame sensor, and control board for proper operation. Cleaned flame sensor rod to remove carbon buildup causing intermittent flame detection failure, verified proper ignition sequence, and tested unit through multiple heating cycles to confirm reliable startup and normal operation.
Completed routine heating system maintenance and tune-up on residential furnace unit. Performed comprehensive inspection of blower assembly, including fan wheel and motor components, confirming proper operation and structural integrity. All system components tested and operating within manufacturer specifications, with membership maintenance plan active through 2026.
Conducted furnace and air conditioning replacement estimate for residential HVAC system over 16 years old. Evaluated existing Carrier equipment and ductwork configuration in basement utility area, documented current system condition through photographs, and discussed available replacement options including current promotional offerings with homeowner.
Completed full HVAC system replacement including removal of existing equipment and installation of new Bryant furnace, evaporator coil, and outdoor condensing unit. Installed new furnace in basement mechanical room with proper venting through existing exhaust duct penetration. Mounted evaporator coil on top of furnace plenum and connected refrigerant lines to outdoor condenser. Verified all electrical connections to furnace control board and condensing unit per manufacturer specifications. Performed system startup procedures and confirmed proper airflow by measuring static pressure at 150 pascals using digital manometer. Tested heating and cooling cycles to ensure equipment operates within normal parameters. Customer was informed that existing thermostat may not be compatible with new system but will attempt programming if possible.
Completed scheduled heating maintenance tune-up on 3-year-old Carrier furnace system. Performed comprehensive inspection of all internal components including blower motor assembly, electrical connections, gas valve, heat exchanger, venting system, and control wiring. Verified proper operation of ignition system, flame sensor, and all safety controls. No issues or deficiencies identified during inspection; system operating within manufacturer specifications.
Conducted furnace replacement estimate in basement mechanical room. Inspected existing vertically-oriented furnace unit with open access panel, evaluating internal components including burners, blower assembly, wiring, valves, and mechanical connections. Assessed condition of gray metal ductwork extending from unit and connecting supply/return air distribution system. Documented equipment specifications from manufacturer labels and data plates. Photographed installation location, existing ductwork configuration, electrical connections, and overall mechanical room layout to prepare comprehensive replacement proposal.
Responded to no cooling complaint on residential air conditioning system over 10 years old. Upon arrival, performed diagnostic inspection of outdoor condensing unit and found system inoperative due to age-related component failure and deteriorated electrical connections beneath unit platform, which showed significant weather damage and corrosion to mounting hardware and wiring conduits.
Responded to service call for two separate faucet issues. Replaced worn cartridge in bathroom faucet to resolve active leak. Repaired leaking hot water valve on garage faucet, addressing shut-off valve malfunction at washing machine supply connections. Both fixtures tested and verified operational with no further leakage upon completion.
Installed wireless thermostat system in suitable location for optimal climate control. Successfully mounted PRO wireless access system receiver unit and completed all necessary wiring connections to integrate with existing HVAC infrastructure in basement mechanical area.
Completed scheduled cooling maintenance visit on residential air conditioning system. Performed comprehensive system diagnostics using digital manifold gauges, measuring refrigerant pressures and temperatures to verify proper operation. System readings showed 103.7 PSI low side pressure, 199.6 PSI high side pressure, with temperatures of 130°F and 110.8°F, indicating normal operating parameters for R-410A refrigerant. All measurements confirmed system is functioning within manufacturer specifications.
Performed preventative maintenance on a 6-year-old Carrier/BDP condensing unit, model CNPVP36017ALAAAAA, utilizing R-410A refrigerant. Measured and recorded system pressures and temperatures using digital manifold gauges, confirming proper operating conditions and refrigerant charge levels. Inspected condenser coil fins, manufacturer labels, and safety documentation, verifying all components were functioning within normal parameters.
Completed A/C system startup and addressed exterior penetration sealing as identified during inspection. Properly caulked and sealed the wall penetration where refrigerant line set passes through vinyl siding to prevent air and moisture infiltration, ensuring code compliance and system protection.
Completed comprehensive Home Plan cooling tune-up maintenance on two HVAC systems. Performed standard preventive maintenance procedures including system diagnostics, airflow measurements using digital manometer registering 15.3 inches of water column static pressure, and electrical testing with multimeter to verify proper voltage and amperage readings. All systems operational and running within manufacturer specifications upon completion.
