Completed installation of a four-head ductless mini-split system over a two-day period. Mounted interior air handler units in designated zones throughout the residence, including bedroom areas, with proper wall placement for optimal air distribution. Installed exterior condensing unit with line set routing along building exterior, secured all refrigerant lines and electrical connections, and commissioned system to verify proper operation of all zones.

HVAC installation failed initial inspection due to improper condensate line routing from Aprilaire humidifier making contact with flue pipe, creating a safety hazard. Documented code violation with photographic evidence showing PVC condensate drain line positioned too close to exhaust flue in mechanical space. Job placed on hold pending manager approval for corrective action and re-routing of condensate line to maintain proper clearance from high-temperature flue pipe per manufacturer specifications and local building codes.

Completed electrical estimate and assessment for AC circuit rewiring at residential property. Evaluated exterior electrical infrastructure including existing gray junction box, black and white PVC conduit runs with elbow joints, and weatherproof electrical boxes mounted on building exterior with vinyl siding. Documented current wiring configuration showing black electrical cables connecting to panel and following conduit pathways along exterior wall. Assessed interior electrical requirements in room with popcorn textured ceiling, identifying potential access points and routing options for new circuit installation. Photographed existing conditions of both exterior utility infrastructure and interior spaces to provide comprehensive documentation for rewiring scope and material requirements.

Replaced exterior sillcock with new frost-proof unit to prevent future freeze damage and ensure reliable outdoor water access. Installed new laundry room drain assembly in basement floor, addressing drainage issues and ensuring proper waste water evacuation from laundry area. Both installations completed with proper sealing and tested for leaks to verify functionality.

Completed first installation of Magic Pak HVAC system, including proper mounting of the vertical air handler unit with integrated ductwork and return air assembly. Installed Kidde carbon monoxide alarm in accordance with safety requirements to provide occupant protection for the newly installed heating system.

Diagnosed E1 error code on evaporative cooler system and determined humidity sensor failure in humidistat was causing malfunction and inaccurate readings. Replaced defective humidistat with new unit using inventory from service vehicle. System tested and restored to proper operation with humidity sensor now reading correctly and error code resolved.

# HVAC System Installation Summary Completed full installation of a downflow 80% efficiency furnace with 2-ton air conditioning system.
