Performed scheduled heating maintenance on a 16-year-old furnace, including inspection of the air handler cabinet, control board wiring, and filter assembly. Removed and serviced the heavily dust-laden filter, and inspected the condensate pump and drain line connections for proper operation.

Performed seasonal heating maintenance on two furnace systems, including electrical diagnostics with a clamp meter to verify component resistance and circuit integrity. Inspected and tested the Aprilaire Model 60 automatic humidifier control on the supply plenum, confirming proper operation with the humidifier active and no service or water panel replacement alerts. Systems were left operating normally.

Performed annual furnace maintenance, including inspection of the blower assembly, which showed a heavy accumulation of dust and debris on the squirrel-cage fan wheel blades. Cleaned the blower wheel and housing to restore proper airflow and motor efficiency. Inspected the burner and heat exchanger area, noting heat-tinted discoloration on the metal component, and verified safe, normal operation of the heating system.

Installed a new whole-house water softener system consisting of a fiberglass resin tank with digital control head, a separate brine tank, and a cartridge filter housing, all plumbed with copper piping, brass fittings, and a bypass valve. Connected the drain and brine lines, loaded the brine tank with water softener salt, and programmed the controller. Verified all connections were secure with no leaks present.

Inspected the water softener brine tank in response to reported black sludge following a previous repair. Found chalky white mineral and salt residue coating the interior tank walls, with a clean bed of coarse salt at the base and no visible sludge or contamination. The brine well and fittings were intact and properly positioned, and the system was verified to be in normal working condition.

Performed a furnace tune-up, including inspection of the gas supply line and verification of the manual gas shutoff valve for proper operation. Noted corrosion (verdigris) at the copper-to-brass fitting junction on the gas line and recommend monitoring the connection for leaks or further deterioration. Cleaned and inspected components, including use of a cleaning rod for the burner/flue passages, and confirmed the system is operating safely.

Connected a manometer-style pressure gauge to the exterior gas piping to perform a pressure test, and the gauge held steady at approximately 10 oz/sq in. while the system was monitored. Returned at the end of the day to retrieve the test equipment, with the service disconnect and surrounding conduit and control components remaining intact.

Performed a routine heating system maintenance inspection, including electrical diagnostics on the gas valve and associated wiring using a True RMS clamp meter to verify proper voltage and circuit continuity. Inspected the control board, relays, wiring harnesses, and blower assembly, confirming secure connections and proper wire routing with no visible corrosion, rust, or component damage.

Responded to a leak at the Nelson air injection filter system installed in 2021. Inspection revealed mineral and salt deposit buildup with active seepage along the dome and side of the fiberglass-wrapped pressure tank near the control valve connection. Documented the affected tank and fittings with photos to support evaluation of the tank and valve connection for repair or replacement.

Installed a new Lennox 90%+ high-efficiency gas furnace in the basement, connecting it to the existing galvanized supply plenum and ductwork with a sealed transition. Piped the PVC intake and exhaust venting, routed the condensate drain line to the floor drain, and reconnected the gas supply with black iron piping and fittings. Completed electrical connections and verified proper startup, combustion, and operation.

Replaced the existing basement gas water heater with a new 40-gallon short-profile unit, including installation of a new thermal expansion tank to protect the closed-loop system from pressure buildup. Reconnected the water supply, gas, and flue venting using the water heater installation kit, reused the serviceable shutoff ball valve, and confirmed proper operation with no leaks.

Performed annual maintenance on a 2-year-old natural gas furnace, including inspection of the gas valve assembly, wiring connections, and cabinet interior, and noted light dust and lint accumulation and minor surface rust on the cabinet. Conducted combustion analysis, which showed stable, safe operation with CO at 26 ppm, CO2 at 7.5%, stack temperature of 105°F, and combustion efficiency of 95.2%.

Performed annual maintenance tune-up on a Lennox gas furnace less than one year old, inspecting the control compartment, integrated control board, wiring connections, and splices for secure terminations. Verified the flue piping, gas line and shutoff valve, condensate/PVC drain piping, and electrical disconnect were properly installed with no visible leaks, corrosion, or damage. Unit is in good condition and operating normally.

Provided an estimate for replacement of the existing gas-fired tank-style water heater, inspecting the unit, its galvanized flue venting, gas supply with shutoff valve, copper supply piping, and existing expansion tank. The heater and associated components showed no visible signs of leaks, corrosion, or frost damage, and the installation was documented photographically to support the replacement quote.

Performed a recurring seasonal heating maintenance visit on a Trane XR80 gas furnace, including inspection of the cabinet, flue connection, and control board wiring harness. Observed dust and debris buildup on interior surfaces and the blower/filter section, and verified the integrity of the electrical connections and safety labeling. Unit was left in operational condition.

Performed an on-site estimate for replacement of an existing Lennox Elite Series upright gas furnace, documenting the unit's data plate, gas piping, PVC condensate/venting, and surrounding ductwork configuration. Assessed the unfinished basement installation, noting adequate clearances, exposed overhead duct and piping runs, and signs of moisture on the adjacent block wall, and photographed all conditions to support equipment sizing and replacement scope.

Performed scheduled heating maintenance on a 2-year-old furnace, including inspection of the AprilAire 413 pleated media air filter, which was found mostly clean and intact with no visible damage. Inspected the furnace control compartment, including the control board, power module, and wiring harness, and found all connections secure with no signs of burn marks, rust, or damage. Equipment is operating normally.

Inspected the existing three-stage reverse osmosis filtration system, mounted beneath the floor joists, to assess replacement filter requirements. Documented the filter housing configuration and confirmed required replacement cartridges, which will be ordered and quoted to the customer for a follow-up installation visit.

Performed scheduled heating maintenance, including electrical testing of the ignition circuit with a digital clamp meter and inspection of the igniter and terminal hardware. Measured gas manifold pressure with a digital manometer (reading approximately 7.5 in. w.c.) to verify proper burner operation, and checked the PVC condensate and vent piping connections.

Performed an on-site evaluation of a 25-year-old gas furnace in the basement to provide a replacement estimate. Inspected the open burner compartment, gas valve and igniter assembly, blower motor, wiring, flue venting, PVC condensate/intake piping, and supply plenum, documenting rust and corrosion on the burner and gas valve components along with general age-related wear. Documented the existing equipment configuration and noted the customer's budget constraints so replacement and assistance options can be reviewed.
