Responded to a no-heat call on a Navien combi boiler installed in June 2025, where the system failed to fire on a call for heat and no heat was reaching the registers. Inspected the boiler, circulator pump, expansion tank, air vent, and associated copper and black iron piping, and verified thermostat calls for heat and system operation, with no frost, heavy rust, or visible equipment damage found. System is within its 1-year Navien coverage and enrolled in the maintenance program.

Performed annual maintenance on a Lennox gas furnace, including inspection of the inducer motor, gas valve, burner box, flue piping, condensate/PVC drain lines, and associated wiring harnesses. Verified safe operation and proper connections with no signs of rust, frost, or component damage, and the unit was left in good working order.

Performed an on-site estimate for a new whole-home standby generator installation with a natural gas connection. Surveyed the exterior of the home to evaluate potential generator placement, taking measurements and documenting clearances along the foundation and adjacent landscaped areas to determine code-compliant setback distances and fuel line routing. Photographed the proposed installation area for use in preparing the quote.

Performed scheduled heating maintenance on a gas furnace, including inspection of the inducer motor assembly, pressure switches, gas valve, venting, wiring harness, and control board, with no visible damage, cracks, or frost observed. Replaced the air filter with a MERV 13 pleated filter and noted oxidation and tarnishing on the copper gas line fittings for continued monitoring. Unit left in proper operating condition.

Performed scheduled heating maintenance on a Lennox gas furnace, including visual inspection of the unit, venting, and condensate and PVC piping, with no signs of damage, rust, or leaks observed. Conducted combustion analysis using a Bacharach analyzer on natural gas, recording CO at 15 ppm, CO2 at 6.6%, and a stack temperature of 81°F, confirming safe and proper operation. Verified the AprilAire 501 media filter on site and confirmed the system is operating normally.

Responded to a tripped breaker that would not reset on the washer and dryer circuit. Inspected the main electrical panel and the associated circuit, and the panel was found with loose wiring and exposed copper conductors near the base. Tested and diagnosed the cause of the fault, and the circuit was left in safe, working condition.

Performed a scheduled seasonal heating maintenance inspection on the upright forced-air furnace, verifying proper operation of the air handler, digital control display, and connected supply ductwork. Inspected the PVC condensate and venting connections, galvanized duct seams and foil-taped joints, and surrounding electrical components, with no deficiencies observed. System was left operating normally and ready for the heating season.

Responded to a noise and vibration complaint on a recently installed furnace and inspected the cabinet-to-ductwork transition. Found poorly sealed, torn foil tape and bunched insulation at the plenum seam, with loose material contributing to rattling and airflow-induced vibration. Removed the damaged tape, secured the connection, and resealed the joint with new foil tape to eliminate the noise and restore a tight, vibration-free duct connection.

Performed scheduled heating system maintenance, including a combustion analysis on the natural gas appliance that recorded O2 at 6.0%, CO at 48 ppm, CO2 at 8.4%, and combustion efficiency of 96.5%, all within acceptable operating parameters. Inspected the control board and low-voltage terminal connections, confirming secure wiring and no signs of frost, rust, or component damage.

Performed annual furnace maintenance, including inspection of the pleated air filter, which was found in good condition with light dust loading and slight pleat bunching, and inspection of the integrated furnace control board and associated wiring harness. The control board showed no evidence of burn marks, corrosion, or physical damage, and all wire connections were secure. The system was verified to be operating properly at completion.

Inspected the two-piece toilet for a continuously running condition and diagnosed the tank's internal flush components as the cause. Adjusted and serviced the fill valve and flapper assembly to restore a proper water seal and shut-off, and verified the supply line and shutoff valve were free of leaks. Tested multiple flush cycles to confirm normal operation, with no running water or leaks observed.

Replaced the existing 40-gallon short gas water heater with a new unit, including the necessary piping modifications to reconnect the tank. The existing ball valve and thermal expansion tank were retained and reconnected, and the flue vent assembly was reinstalled at the draft hood. The new water heater was verified for proper operation with no leaks.

Inspected the approximately 2-year-old tank-style water heater for a bottom leak and found the system pressure gauge pegged near 200 psi, indicating severe over-pressurization and no functioning thermal expansion control. Evidence of prolonged moisture and mineral/rust deposits was present at the base of the unit, consistent with a tank leak caused by excessive pressure. The water heater was documented with photos for replacement/further corrective action, including pressure regulation and an expansion tank.

Cleared a clogged bathtub drain and addressed the broken overflow pipe, which had separated from the tub assembly. Access openings were made in the ceiling below to reach the drain and overflow piping, where heavy corrosion, mineral buildup, and deteriorated framing were found around the connections. The drain and overflow assembly was serviced to restore proper drainage, and the corroded condition of the drain ring and pipe stub was documented for the customer's awareness.

Completed installation of a 90% efficiency furnace and air conditioning system. Installed new valve assemblies with copper tubing connections, filters, and electrical components including relay contactors with proper wiring terminations. All equipment mounted securely within cabinet enclosure and system tested for proper operation.

Completed comprehensive HVAC system assessment for furnace and air conditioning replacement in residential basement installation. Evaluated existing gray metal furnace unit with copper refrigerant lines, water heater configuration, and associated ductwork including parallel gray PVC ducts with white coupling joints supported by metal strapping. Provided detailed estimate for complete furnace and AC system replacement with equipment specifications and installation requirements for the 3-ton capacity system.

Provided estimate for replacement of existing 40-gallon electric water heater with larger capacity unit. Customer expressed interest in upgrading beyond current 40-gallon size and indicated availability for service between 9 AM and 5 PM. Documented existing installation including water heater configuration, copper piping manifold, expansion tank, and associated mechanical components in basement utility area.

Responded to recurring heating service call on a 6-year-old Lennox furnace unit. Confirmed operational status of the system and replaced the air filter per customer request. Inspected furnace components, ductwork connections, and PVC intake/exhaust venting to ensure proper function. All equipment operating within normal parameters at time of departure.

Responded to basement water leak complaint and conducted thorough inspection of plumbing systems.

Inspected exposed plumbing infrastructure in ceiling joists and confirmed no additional active leaks in visible piping systems. Tested all repaired connections under full water pressure to verify leak elimination and proper system operation.

Responded to main drain clog causing water backup in basement. Upon inspection, located heavily corroded floor drain with significant mineral buildup and deterioration at the main drain exit point. Accessed main cleanout assembly, which showed extensive staining and biological growth indicating chronic drainage issues. Cleared blockage from main drain line, restoring proper flow and eliminating standing water condition in basement.
