I performed heating maintenance on the system. The air handler was operating smoothly, but the heat pump was not functioning. Upon inspection, I discovered that the disconnect was faulty, causing a short circuit in the breaker. This issue prevented the heat pump from running. I informed the customer about the problem and the need for a replacement disconnect. The air handler was confirmed to be working correctly before I left the site. The customer requested that the repair be scheduled for April.

Today, I performed a comprehensive heat system tune-up. All electrical components met manufacturer specifications. The combustion test was within the acceptable range. I inspected the heat exchanger, finding no cracks or leaks, but did identify heat stress and a pinpoint issue. I explained these findings to the customer. The temperature split was within specifications, and the filter was replaced. Additionally, I noticed dust buildup on the blower wheel and recommended a cleaning and UV light for maintenance. The flame sensor and pressure switch hose were cleaned. The system is now operational. Thank you for choosing our services.

Our team successfully completed a comprehensive upgrade for a residential air conditioning system. We began by assessing the existing setup and determining the need for an upsized return to enhance airflow efficiency. After selecting the appropriate size and model, we carefully removed the old return and installed the new one, ensuring it was securely connected and properly aligned. Additionally, we added a high-quality supply vent to improve air distribution throughout the home. Throughout the process, we maintained a clean and organized workspace, ensuring minimal disruption to the customer. The final result was a more efficient and effective cooling system, providing enhanced comfort and energy savings.

On Thursday, March 5th, I began by replacing and upsizing the entire ductwork system to enhance airflow efficiency. This involved carefully removing the old ductwork and installing new, larger ducts to ensure optimal performance. Next, I added a new supply duct to improve air distribution throughout the space. Additionally, I replaced the filter return grille with an upsized version to facilitate better air filtration. Finally, I replaced the gas valve and confirmed that the furnace was running smoothly before departure.

Upon inspection, we identified a malfunctioning gas valve as the root cause of the issue. After discussing the situation with the customer, we decided to activate their club membership and proceed with the replacement of the faulty gas valve. The replacement was carried out meticulously, ensuring all connections and safety protocols were followed. Following the replacement, we ran the furnace to confirm that the new gas valve was functioning correctly. However, we noticed that the return air was only providing half the airflow required for optimal furnace operation. We have presented the customer with various options to address this issue, ensuring they are well-informed about the best course of action to restore full functionality.

I responded to a call regarding an air conditioning outage and a potential gas leak. Upon inspection, I identified a gas leak in the furnace, which I promptly addressed by tightening the fitting and resealing it to ensure safety. Additionally, I discovered that the air conditioning system was short cycling due to a malfunctioning fan motor. I replaced the faulty fan motor, and the system is now cooling efficiently. The customer can now enjoy a properly functioning HVAC system. Thank you for choosing our services.

Upon inspection, the humid thermostat was found to be operational but functioning in reverse, a known issue with the new general air humid stats. I informed the customer about this and they agreed to accept it temporarily. The humidifier and furnace were both tested and confirmed to be working correctly. I ensured everything was functioning as expected before leaving the site.

I performed a comprehensive furnace maintenance and inspection. The flame sensor was meticulously cleaned, and the entire furnace was wiped down to ensure cleanliness. I tested all components and measured the amp draws to confirm proper operation. Airflow and temperature splits were checked to ensure efficiency. The customer reported a gas smell, which the gas company attributed to the furnace exhaust. I observed the gas valve opening and closing to verify its proper function, confirming it was operating correctly. The furnace was running within specifications at the time of departure. Additionally, I renewed the customer's club membership during the visit.

Went over Aeroseal and duct cleaning options. The home is brand new , new equipment and all. Ducts are taped on the outside but not sealed from within

Performed plumbing maintenance inspection for customer. Found kitchen sink leaking from to of the base and expansion tank to have failed. Informed customer about highlighted issues. Customer will discuss with spouse about repairs.

Lennox Full System

Will need to replace old fill valve with a new one. The customer had 2 toilets that were running, I managed to fix the other one at no cost and the upstairs toilet we replaced the fill valve along with a new supply line and shut off valve as the old shut off valve was leaking.

Saddle valve on the humidifier was clogged. I was able to get it unclogged and we had proper water flow through the humidifier. Instead of charging for repairs today customer opted to activate club membership. System is working properly at departure.

Completed full system inspection. I started by checking the furnace operation first. After performing the safety checks, the furnace showed that it is still running safely at this time. The inducer motor is starting to whine. This means that the bearings inside the inducer are starting to wear down. I noticed the system was running a little warmer so we checked the airflow static pressure on the system. The static pressure showed a reading of .92. The max static pressure rating should not be above .5. The hot surface igniter resistance is almost double the normal resistance. This means that the igniter is burning hotter than it normally would and could crack at any point. The heat exchanger is still seal tight as far as I could tell after three safety checks. The heat exchanger is charred from running pretty hot over the years. I switched over to checking out the AC/heat pump side of the system. The heat pump is low on refrigerant. Customer mentioned that they have had to have the ref

Performed a complete furnace tune-up on all six (6) systems on site. Of the six systems inspected, two (2) furnaces require extensive repairs. The two furnaces serving the East Wing were found to have failed heat exchangers and will require heat exchanger replacement at a bare minimum. During the inspection, additional contributing factors were identified that led to the premature failure of the heat exchangers. Both furnaces show signs of poor burner performance, including improper flame pattern and uneven heat distribution. A compromised burner can cause hot spots and flame impingement inside the heat exchanger, leading to metal fatigue, cracking, and eventual failure. When combustion is not clean or evenly distributed, the heat exchanger is subjected to excessive stress, which significantly shortens its lifespan and reduces operating efficiency. Additionally, blower assembly issues were noted. Improper airflow across the heat exchanger can cause the heat exchanger to overheat, fu

Completed furnace, maintenance and inspection. I checked all components and amp draws. I wiped system down. I checked wire connections. System is working properly at this time.

Customer called in needing two tankless water heaters replaced. Both tankless are located upstairs in utility room. Spoke with customer and customer has 4 bathrooms and only 3 people live in the house. Got a second opinion from manager and both us believe that customer doesn’t need two tankless and can get away with only having one. We will be providing Navien 240A2 with a built in recirculating pump. Our price includes remove and haul away of old unit and any repiping of the gas, water, & flue.
