Responded to a no-heat complaint on a gas furnace that was cycling on and off. Removed the access panel and inspected the burner compartment, confirming ignition and active burner flame while noting heavy corrosion on the burner/inshot ports, along with dust and debris buildup in the cabinet. Verified the flame rollout/limit switch circuit and gas valve wiring; the corroded burners and flame-sensing conditions are the likely cause of the intermittent shutdown and are recommended for cleaning or replacement.

Performed a complete tune-up on a 3-year-old gas furnace, including inspection of the burner assembly, heat exchanger, flue, and safety controls, along with verification of proper operation and airflow. Inspection of the furnace cabinet revealed significant corrosion and rust buildup on the floor beneath the condensate drain tube and fittings, indicating prolonged moisture exposure from a likely drain or condensate leak. Recommend further evaluation and correction of the moisture source to prevent continued deterioration of the cabinet.

Responded to a no-blower complaint on a gas furnace and inspected the blower assembly, motor, and control wiring, noting heavy dust accumulation and loose, tangled low-voltage wiring within the cabinet. Evaluated the blower motor operation and electrical connections to diagnose the failure to energize, and recommended cleaning and further repair or replacement as needed to restore proper airflow.

Removed the existing 90% condensing downflow furnace and installed a new 45K BTU 80% downflow furnace in the attic, reconnecting it to the existing ductwork and electrical disconnect. Because the 80% unit requires different venting, new flue venting and roof flashing were installed to properly exhaust combustion gases. The unit was leveled and secured, and the equipment is ready for startup and operational verification.

Performed annual tune-up on a 6-year-old gas furnace, including combustion analysis with a Testo 310 II analyzer under steady-state operation. Recorded flue gas readings of 4.20% CO₂, 13.5% O₂, 27 ppm CO, 161.1% excess air, 109.1°F stack temperature, and 88.5% combustion efficiency, along with a manifold gas pressure of 3.48 inH₂O measured with a Testo 510i. Furnace is operating within normal parameters.

Performed a complete heating tune-up on the basement furnace, including inspection of the gas valve assembly, control wiring, and connections. Verified manifold gas pressure using a dual-port digital manometer, with readings within normal operating range. The system was found operating properly with no deficiencies noted.

Performed seasonal maintenance on a 5-year-old gas furnace, inspecting the cabinet, internal wiring, blower motor, and condensate tubing, and checking the pleated return air filter, which showed dust loading and discoloration along its edges and should be replaced on a regular schedule. Verified the drain line on the bypass humidifier is routed correctly and free of obstruction. Observed visible mold or mildew staining on pillows stored near the equipment in a damp, cluttered utility area and recommended relocating stored items away from the furnace and humidifier, improving airflow and moisture control, and clearing the equipment area to maintain safe clearances.

Diagnosed a no-heat condition on a 10-15 year old furnace and found significant internal corrosion, with rust deposits and standing acidic-looking condensate in the cabinet bottom, along with moisture at the flue/PVC vent coupling gasket, indicating a condensate or flue leak. Additional contamination and staining were noted on the unit's upper surface and plenum area. The unit's condition and age warrant replacement, and the customer expressed interest in a new furnace installation.

Replaced faulty aqua-stat control on hydronic heating system. Initial service visit required rescheduling due to incorrect part delivery; correct aqua-stat was installed on second appointment, restoring proper boiler temperature control and system operation.

Completed comprehensive heating maintenance on a 15-year-old residential gas furnace system. Performed full system inspection including burner assembly, heat exchanger, blower motor, and all safety controls. Verified proper operation of Aprilaire humidifier unit and tested thermostat functionality. Inspected all electrical connections, gas line integrity, and PVC condensate drainage system. Cleaned and tested ignition system, confirmed proper flame characteristics, and measured temperature rise across heat exchanger within manufacturer specifications. All components found operating within normal parameters with no immediate repairs required.

Replaced water heater per inspection report requirements and addressed multiple plumbing leaks throughout the residence. Installed new Bradford White tanked water heater with recirculation pump system, including copper supply piping, brass fittings, PVC vent piping, temperature/pressure relief valve, and electronic control unit with wall-mounted controller. Completed all connections to existing plumbing infrastructure and verified system operation upon installation.

Completed preventative maintenance tune-up on 10-year-old residential air conditioning system. Performed comprehensive inspection of outdoor condensing unit including capacitor, contactor, and electrical connections; verified proper wiring integrity and component operation. All system components tested and found to be functioning within normal parameters.

Completed comprehensive maintenance tune-up on both air conditioning and furnace systems, both over 20 years old. Performed refrigerant pressure and temperature diagnostics using manifold gauges, verified system performance parameters, and conducted standard preventive maintenance procedures on both heating and cooling equipment to ensure optimal operation for the upcoming season.

Completed preventative maintenance tune-up on 2-year-old air conditioning system. Inspected evaporator coil assembly and interior components, confirmed proper airflow through unit, and verified all mechanical systems operating within normal parameters.

Returned to site to perform leak search on HVAC system. Inspected compressor unit and refrigerant lines, documenting condition of copper tubing and electrical connections with photos. System shows signs of operational wear with visible dust accumulation on components. Leak search in progress; awaiting confirmation on warranty status before ordering replacement parts if needed.

Responded to customer complaint of strong refrigerant odor near AC unit. Performed thorough inspection of indoor evaporator coil assembly and outdoor condensing unit, including all refrigerant line connections and service valves. Visually examined copper line sets, flare connections, and refrigerant piping for signs of leakage or oil residue that would indicate active refrigerant loss. Documented equipment condition with photographs for service records.

Responded to warranty callback for continuously running unit following recent installation. Inspected thermostat wiring and control board connections, verified proper wire terminations at both thermostat and equipment, and corrected control circuit issue preventing unit from cycling off properly.

Completed installation of a 40-gallon power vent water heater in basement utility area. Removed existing unit and installed new water heater on stable base platform, connecting supply and discharge lines with flexible connectors and brass fittings to accommodate existing plumbing infrastructure. Verified level installation, proper venting configuration, and tested all connections for leaks prior to system activation.

Completed callback to upgrade outdoor unit from single-stage ML-13 to two-stage ML-17KC1-036 condenser. Verified all refrigerant line connections, electrical conduit installation, and proper unit placement on concrete pad with secure mounting. System tested and operating within manufacturer specifications.

Completed MVP cooling maintenance on a 3-year-old air conditioning system at 8 AM appointment. Performed standard preventive maintenance procedures on both indoor evaporator coil assembly and outdoor condensing unit, verifying proper operation of all components. System tested and confirmed operating within normal parameters with no service renewals required at this time.
