Upon inspection, the AC unit exhibited a leak at the vapor line solder joint near the condensing unit. Additionally, the liquid line's Schrader core required replacement. The issue was promptly identified and scheduled for repair on Wednesday morning. However, the office has inquired if the task could be expedited to tomorrow. The work was meticulously planned to ensure all necessary repairs are completed efficiently, maintaining the unit's optimal performance.

I arrived to address an inoperable system. The furnace showed no lights and was completely inactive, suggesting a power issue. After confirming the breakers were reset, I tested the disconnect switch and found 120 V. A diagnostic on the control board revealed it was losing voltage, damaging the transformer. The system requires a new control board and transformer. Additionally, the furnace fan capacitor is failing. I provided two estimates, one including the capacitor. The homeowner declined repairs and I left the furnace power off.

augering the line to clear the clog or performing a floor break to address the underlying issue. I provided her with pricing for both options and explained the discounts available based on her choice.

Clean and fan motot

Blower was very hot and not running when I arrived. The furnace was showing a code error for overheating. I spun the fan blades to see if the motor was locked up. It was not. The blower had tripped into thermal limit from overheating. This can be caused when the system is running really hard due to being oversized. I was able to get the blower running again today, however since it did overheat, I’m not sure exactly how long it will last.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Set up for combustion analysis temperature split and static pressure tests. Found that the system is operating hotter than the recommended temperature range. Verified operation of all mechanical and electronic components of the furnace. Found that the capacitor for the fan motor is failing. Checked blower for cleanliness and to see if there is any play in the bearings. Furnace fan is heavily coated in debris and bearings are loose. Checked systems heat exchanger to ensure proper venting of flue gas. Found large hotspots from the system operating beyond its heating range. Verified operation of the humidifier. Humidifier panel needs replaced. Spoke with homeowner about the system. With homeowners approval collected for the membership and replaced the humidifier panel. Set up for a duct cleaning and blower cleaning with fan motor (new motor comes with a new capacitor) replacement for tomorrow morning. Furnace and humidifier are operational at this

In this project, we will be breaking up the concrete floor around the area where the main stack penetrates the slab. From there, we will install new PVC piping beneath the concrete and run individual lines up to each fixture as required. The existing laundry drain will be rerouted and connected to the kitchen stack, as the current branch line located beneath the slab is no longer operational. Additionally, we will replace the home’s main emergency shut-off valve and permanently abandon the existing ice maker water line.

Completed furnace, maintenance and inspection. I cleaned flame sensor and wiped down furnace. I tested amp draws and components. I checked air pressure and temp splits. While checking out the furnace I found that the furnace is well oversized for this home. This has caused a lot of damage to the furnace. The heat exchanger that has already been replaced once is already rusting and has potential holes. With proper sizing, this system could have lasted much longer. I showed customer the damage on the system and explained the safety concerns with the gas line and heat exchanger. Customer asked to see pricing for replacement. I was able to get one of our supervisors to the home to size the equipment and get pricing for the customer. Furnace is operating at departure.

Customer lives in Michigan, wants pricing for system replacement

Completed furnace, maintenance and inspection. I cleaned flame sensor and wiped down furnace. I tested amp draws and components. I checked air pressure and temp splits. When I arrived, customer had some questions about the airflow and comfort of their home. After looking at the set up of the returns and vents, I was able to diagnose the issues they were having with comfort. The air pressure on their system is well over max. I explained how that can damage and shorten the lifespan of their system as well. We talked about options to correct the airflow, pressure and comfort of their home. I offered our membership as well. Furnace is operational at departure.

Inspection of the plumbing system revealed multiple failures resulting in active sewage leakage. A cracked 90-degree bend at the toilet flange is causing sewage spillage. Additionally, the above-ground cast iron plumbing stack has multiple cracks and is leaking. A broken drain line beneath the slab was also identified, affecting the laundry and kitchen lines. The condition of the piping is consistent with material deterioration and structural failure. Repairs will require removal and replacement of the damaged cast iron piping with new Schedule 40 PVC piping, replacement of the cracked toilet flange fitting, installation of new laundry and kitchen drain lines, and elimination of the broken pipe beneath the slab to restore proper function and sanitary conditions. Immediate repair is recommended to prevent further damage and health hazards.

Arrived to remedy an inoperable system. Upon inspection of the system found the thermostat display screen blank. Turned the furnace off and replaced the AAA batteries in the thermostat.

We first proceeded downstairs to assess the reported leak and found that the drainage pipe was completely cracked, which is the source of the leakage. We then inspected the upstairs bathrooms, where the customer reported leaks around both toilets. After further investigation, we discovered that both toilet flanges were completely cracked, contributing to the leaking issues. Additionally, the customer reported a problem with the emergency shut-off valve. Upon inspection, we found that the valve was leaking and not fully shutting off as intended.

Arrived to do a performance maintenance. Set up for combustion analysis temperature split and static pressure tests. Determined the cause of the elevated carbon monoxide in the units exhaust is caused by the cleaning supplies, paints and litter box.

Per customer request I installed a new thermostat and made sure system is working properly. All three furnaces are operating properly at departure.

After customer told me about how the system was running, I turned on the system and when we went downstairs, I found multiple vents closed. The dampers that are in the vents are original to the house so they are not marked nor do they have a handle to indicate which direction the damper is facing. I showed customer how the Line in the screw where a flathead screwdriver would go coordinates with the direction of the damper. We opened all the vents and I let system run for over 20 minutes. Furnace is running properly at departure.
