Conducted non-member tune-up service on a relatively new heat pump system with older backup gas heating. Replaced dirty air filter and performed standard preventive maintenance procedures. Observed and photographed system components including drainage port and ceiling vent for documentation purposes.
Responded to a service call for water leakage in a previously serviced area. Upon inspection of the copper pipe system in the basement/crawlspace, determined the press ball valve had not been fully pressed during prior installation. Corrected the issue by properly pressing the fitting to establish a secure connection, which resolved the leak.
Responded to customer complaint of garbage disposal leaking from disposal unit with drain positioned too high. Removed faulty garbage disposal, installed new drain basket and outlet tee to correct drainage configuration. Completed installation of updated plumbing assembly with proper P-trap configuration to ensure proper function and eliminate leakage.
Successfully installed a 40-gallon natural gas standard vent water heater in place of an existing unit, complete with all required connections and venting. Additionally, replaced the frost free hose bibb with a ball valve, utilizing existing connections. All work was performed according to code with appropriate permit.
Performed comprehensive furnace inspection and tune-up on 7-year-old system. Diagnostic testing revealed expired UV bulb, though still functioning. All critical components (igniter, flame sensor, draft motor, blower motor) were operating properly with clean blower wheel. Combustion analysis confirmed safe and efficient operation despite minor heat exchanger rusting. Temperature and electrical readings were taken with digital thermometer and clamp meter to verify system parameters.
Performed service on bathtub with dual issues: broken stopper mechanism and slow drainage. Diagnostic inspection revealed hair buildup causing significant clog. Removed existing damaged drain assembly, cleared accumulated debris, and installed new pop-up drain system. Tested drainage functionality to confirm proper operation after installation.
Inspected property for reported water leak at washer hookups. Identified multiple leaking gate valves requiring immediate attention. Conducted diagnostic assessment of equipment room plumbing system and documented deteriorated exterior plumbing connections including weathered pipe assembly and improperly sealed wall penetration. Recommended comprehensive equipment room repipe to address systemic valve failures and prevent future leaks.
Installed a new water heater in a customer's home. I carefully removing the old unit and meticulously connected the necessary water and gas lines, verifying that all fittings are secure and meet safety standards. I then tested the system to confirm proper functionality. The new system is working properly for the home.
Job Summary: The customer called me because their furnace wouldn’t turn on, leaving them without heat. I checked the system and found a tripped limit switch due to overheating, likely from blocked airflow. After resetting the switch and advising the customer to keep vents clear, I tested the furnace to ensure it was running smoothly, and heat was fully restored.
