Documented the installation conditions to support a replacement and repair estimate.

Located the detached louvered exterior vent cover from the recently installed furnace and reinstalled it on the exterior wall at the combustion air/vent termination, securing it with screws. Verified the PVC intake and exhaust terminations were properly seated in the mounting plate and free of obstruction.

Replaced the cast iron main drain stack with PVC from the basement up to the access behind the tub, installed a new toilet flange, and tied back into the existing tub and lavatory drains. Installed a new 40-gallon short water heater with code-required upgrades, including a new expansion tank and updated flue and supply connections. Opened the basement landing wall to gain access for the stack replacement.

Installed a complete 90% AFUE gas furnace and matching air conditioning system, including setup of the outdoor condensing unit with a new exterior electrical disconnect and properly sized 30A Class RK5 time-delay dual-element fuses. Routed and secured flexible conduit and refrigerant lines to the outdoor unit, verified electrical connections, and confirmed the equipment showed no signs of damage or corrosion upon completion.

Performed scheduled annual maintenance on a 22 kW Generac Guardian standby generator, including engine oil and filter service and a general inspection of the unit and surrounding pad area. The generator was found in good working condition with no issues identified, and the unit was left operational and in standby mode.

Performed recurring heating maintenance, inspecting the pleated air filter and finding it clean and in serviceable condition with no tearing or heavy debris loading. Measured system static pressure using a dual-port digital manometer to verify airflow performance, and noted staining on the condensate PVC piping for continued monitoring.

Performed scheduled heating maintenance on a 5-year-old Lennox EL296UH110XV48C gas furnace located in the basement. Inspected the integrated control board, including DIP switch configuration and outdoor/discharge air sensor terminals, and found no signs of burn marks, corrosion, or damage. Inspected the blower wheel, which showed light dust and grime buildup with no rust or physical damage, and verified the unit is operating properly.

Responded to a warranty call to tighten gas line connections at the Lennox gas furnace. Inspected the black iron gas piping, including the ball valve, unions, and tee fittings, and tightened the threaded joints to secure the connections. Leak-tested the fittings to verify a gas-tight installation, with the furnace and surrounding piping left in proper working order.

Performed an estimate for replacement of a 13-year-old Trane gas furnace after diagnosing a cracked heat exchanger, which poses a safety risk and warrants unit replacement. Inspected the existing installation, including PVC condensate/vent piping, flue connections, and the Aprilaire humidifier mounted on the supply plenum, and documented conditions to support the replacement quote.

Performed annual heating maintenance on the furnace, including inspection of the control board, wiring harness connections, relay, and blower compartment for signs of damage or wear. Verified gas valve manifold pressure using a dual port manometer and confirmed proper operation within manufacturer specifications.

Responded to a no-heat complaint on a 9-year-old gas furnace blowing only cold air. Inspected the gas valve, inducer/blower motor, control board, transformer, and low-voltage wiring harnesses to diagnose the ignition and heat-production fault, then completed repairs and cleared accumulated dust and debris from the cabinet interior. Verified proper operation through a full heating cycle with warm air delivery restored.

Performed annual heating maintenance on a 13-year-old gas furnace, including inspection of the gas valve assembly, burner section, inducer motor, and blower compartment, along with wiring, connectors, and limit/rollout switch. Noted accumulated dust and soot on the burners and cabinet floor, heat-discolored ignitor/flame sensor leads, and rust and corrosion on the gas pipe fittings, and recommended continued monitoring given the age of the unit. The customer is eligible to renew their maintenance plan.

Installed nine Xsense wireless interconnected smoke detectors throughout the residence, covering the second-floor bedrooms and hallway, the first floor near the basement stairs, and the basement bedroom, hallway, and playroom. Also installed a carbon monoxide detector adjacent to the furnace, providing interconnected life-safety coverage on all levels.

Performed scheduled heating maintenance on a Lennox gas furnace, inspecting the control board, wiring harnesses, and connectors and verifying electrical operation with a clamp meter. Checked the intake/exhaust PVC venting and condensate neutralizer drain assembly, finding no signs of burning, corrosion, or frost. System components were found in serviceable condition and operating normally.

Responded to a no-heat call on a furnace of unknown age and performed a diagnostic inspection, including a borescope examination of the heat exchanger. The inspection revealed heavy corrosion, rust flaking, and scale buildup on the interior surfaces, indicating heat exchanger deterioration. The unit's condition and age make it unsafe and unreliable to operate, so replacement is recommended.

Conducted an on-site assessment for the installation of one light fixture, two receptacle outlets, and two ceiling fans. Evaluated existing ceiling-mounted fixtures, including a flush-mount dome light and a ceiling fan with light kit, and documented ceiling conditions, including surface cracking, to determine mounting and electrical requirements. Compiled scope-of-work details for quote preparation; no installation work was performed during this visit.

Performed a cooling maintenance inspection on the outdoor condenser unit, including removal of the control panel access cover to inspect the capacitor, contactor, and high- and low-voltage wiring connections, with all components found clean and free of corrosion, damage, or visible wear. Verified the grounding connection, refrigerant line and conduit routing, and the exterior unit housing, finding no signs of frost, rust, or breakage, and the system was left in proper operating condition.

Performed a heating maintenance visit including inspection of the furnace control board and low-voltage wiring, and noted loose, tangled wiring with a frayed braided cable sleeve exposing copper strands that should be secured and repaired to prevent shorting or intermittent faults. Completed combustion analysis on the natural gas appliance, recording O2 at 5.6%, CO at 61 ppm, CO2 at 8.6%, and efficiency at 95.3%. The unit is operating with acceptable combustion efficiency, though CO levels should be monitored at future visits.

Performed annual furnace maintenance, including inspection and cleaning of the flame sensor to remove oxidation and corrosion buildup for reliable flame rectification. Conducted combustion analysis on natural gas operation, recording O2 at 7.1%, CO2 at 7.8%, CO at 16 ppm, and steady-state efficiency of 95.2%, all within acceptable operating parameters.

Inspected the open kitchen ceiling cavity to trace an intermittent leak and found moisture-stained framing around the cast iron drain assembly beneath the upstairs toilet, including the banded coupling and elbow transitions to the PVC drain line. Repaired the leaking connections at the toilet drain pipe and verified the bathtub drain repair, restoring a watertight drain system. Documented the exposed plumbing and water-damaged joists for follow-up ceiling restoration.
