Responded to no heat call for natural gas furnace of indeterminate age. Inspection revealed broken ignition box and heat exchanger seal, creating potential for dangerous gas leakage. Additionally, observed significant corrosion throughout system, debris accumulation on burner tubes, and faulty transformer sending only 14V (insufficient for proper operation). Due to multiple critical safety issues and extensive deterioration, complete system replacement was performed rather than attempting repairs on the severely compromised unit.
Responded to service call regarding toilet stoppage. Discovered the issue was related to frozen pipes in the pantry area. After diagnosis, determined pipes had thawed prior to arrival. Inspected water heater and furnace systems to ensure proper operation and prevent future freezing issues. Client was advised on preventive measures to avoid pipe freezing during cold weather.
