Responded to no heat complaint on 6-year-old furnace blowing cold air. Inspection revealed dirty filter and mouse infestation in unit. Replaced filter to restore proper airflow and heat output. Documented electrical panel condition for reference.
Repaired frozen/burst water supply lines in bathroom with minimal heat. Installed multiple ball valves at strategic points to allow for isolation of this section of the plumbing system, preventing future damage during cold periods when the bathroom isn't in use.
Performed standard furnace tune-up and maintenance inspection. Identified failing flame sensor during diagnostic evaluation and replaced component to restore proper system operation and prevent potential ignition failures.
Responded to no-heat service call for a 10-year-old Burnham boiler system. Upon inspection and testing, confirmed all components were functioning properly with no operational issues found. Systematically verified proper thermostat communication, zone valve operation, and appropriate boiler firing sequence. System pressure readings were within normal parameters and all zones were heating correctly after activation.
Performed comprehensive assessment of 14-year-old leaking A.O. Smith gas water heater for replacement. Evaluated household hot water demands (3 residents with frequent simultaneous usage and extended showers) to determine appropriate sizing for recommended tankless solution. Discussed various options including Rheem Prestige series with built-in recirculation capability and potential addition of outdoor hot water spigot. Documented existing gas line configuration and mechanical room layout for proper installation planning.
Conducted comprehensive plumbing inspection of residential property. Verified water heater installation in utility area with proper copper and PVC connections. All plumbing systems found to be in good working condition with no issues requiring repair.
Diagnosed Rheem Performance Platinum electric water heater displaying a 12-4 error code indicating lower element failure. Determined that the lower element resistor had failed while the heating element itself was still functional. Replaced faulty resistor component to restore proper operation of the water heater system.
Conducted comprehensive tune-up inspection on 15-year-old Goodman furnace. Diagnostic testing revealed weakening blower capacitor, draft motor capacitor, and flame sensor; additionally observed dirty blower wheel and temperature stress on heat exchanger (no cracks or holes present). All other components, including igniter, motor amp draws, and combustion analysis, tested within manufacturer specifications. Customer informed of findings and maintenance options for landlord's consideration.
Performed diagnostics on 8-9 year old furnace reporting no heat output despite thermostat set to 75°F with actual temperature reading 59°F. Discovered multiple closed supply vents restricting proper airflow. Opened all vents to restore proper system airflow and circulation. System now operating within normal parameters and producing appropriate heat.
Inspected furnace exhaust system in response to customer complaint of gurgling sounds. Identified water accumulation in the exhaust pipe and inducer assembly. Corrected the issue by draining collected water and adjusting the exhaust pipe pitch to ensure proper condensate flow and prevent future water buildup.
Diagnosed 25-year-old Trane gas furnace with no heat and burning odor. Found seized blower motor and identified multiple cracks in the heat exchanger via inspection camera. Although cracks were not severe enough to require immediate system shutdown, advised customer of potential carbon monoxide hazard and scheduled follow-up consultation to discuss replacement options.
Completed furnace tune-up maintenance per annual service agreement. Performed comprehensive system inspection including gas pressure verification, heat exchanger examination, and carbon monoxide testing with all readings within normal parameters. Cleaned flame sensor, burners, and orifice; inspected supply/return vents. Noted potential heat loss issues due to 16+ foot ceilings and undersized system (50,000 BTU for 2,600 sq.ft home). Recommended dehumidifier installation to improve comfort on basement level.
Responded to a follow-up service call regarding suspected gas leak. Performed comprehensive inspection of gas supply line behind stove, noting significant corrosion and mineral buildup on pipe fittings and valves. No active gas leak was detected in the supply plumbing; determined issue likely originates from the stove appliance itself.
Completed exhaust system repairs on residential furnace involving replacement of 2-inch PVC venting components. Installed new exhaust mounting bracket flange at furnace connection point and reconstructed PVC exhaust piping with proper connections. Total repair time: 2 hours.
Responded to warranty service call regarding water leakage from recently installed exhaust system. Performed inspection of the exhaust piping in ceiling area, identifying improper drainage at elbow joint connections. Corrected issue by reinstalling affected PVC section with proper primer/cement application and ensuring appropriate pitch for condensate drainage.
