Responded to a no-heat service call for a 3-year-old furnace exhibiting prolonged heating cycles (one hour to increase one degree). Upon inspection of the system, found the existing 1-inch filter had been recently changed by homeowner. Visual examination of the evaporator coil showed normal condition without obstructions. Verified proper system operation after service, with normal heating performance restored.
Performed comprehensive furnace tune-up including heat exchanger inspection, which revealed rust and buildup on secondary exchanger. Conducted combustion analysis and verified proper gas pressure in both high and low stages. Cleaned flame sensor, burners, pressure switch, and drain trap; inspected blower motor and wheel with no immediate concerns noted. Discussed secondary exchanger condition with homeowner and advised about potential warranty coverage for affected parts.
Responded to no heat complaint on aging furnace. Diagnosed failed inducer motor causing system shutdown and limit switch error code. Dirty filter was restricting airflow, contributing to system failure. Replaced inducer motor to restore proper operation and heating function.
Conducted comprehensive consultation for water heater replacement options, presenting quotes for standard 50-gallon and 80-gallon tanks as well as a 66-gallon heat pump water heater. Also provided information on water softener replacement to supplement existing water treatment system. Customer showed particular interest in heat pump technology specifications and Family Rewards program.
Performed comprehensive furnace tune-up on unit installed approximately one year ago. Inspection included heat exchanger integrity check, combustion analysis testing, gas pressure verification (high/low stage), examination of flame sensor and burners, and blower motor assessment. All components functioning properly with no immediate concerns noted; air filter in moderate condition, pressure switch cleaned, and thermostat operation verified.
Performed comprehensive tune-up on 19-year-old Goodman furnace. Diagnostic testing included combustion analysis via Testo 310 and electrical measurements with Fluke 116 multimeter, confirming proper function of igniter, flame sensor, gas valve, control board, draft motor, and heat exchanger integrity. Replaced blower capacitor which tested below manufacturer specifications. Noted early signs of potential future heat exchanger deterioration that should be monitored.
Returned to install supply volume damper in plenum with cut register. Added new supply in mechanical room with appropriate register installation. Confirmed proper airflow operation after installation.
Responded to a service call for water leaking into basement. Upon inspection, identified a pin hole leak in a water line requiring repair. Completed necessary water line repair work to resolve the active leak, preventing further water damage to the customer's property.
Responded to no heat complaint on 7-year-old Daikin furnace that was lighting but immediately extinguishing. Diagnosed failed flame sensor (reading 0.2 µA) which was not dirty but malfunctioning. Customer supplied replacement sensor which was installed, achieving proper microamp reading of 2.2 µA. System now heating normally after verifying all other components functioning properly.
HVAC service inspection conducted in response to customer concern about uneven airflow following recent residing work. Testing revealed significant temperature differentials between rooms, with some vents discharging air at 90°F while others measured at 108°F as confirmed with digital temperature gauge. Unable to fully diagnose root cause due to finished basement and inaccessible ductwork; recommended further investigation to determine if issue related to siding installation or pre-existing condition.
Responded to service call for leaking meter horn. Upon inspection, found leakage from one of the meter connections. Installed customer-supplied meter horn in place of the previous unit. Post-installation inspection confirmed successful repair with no leaks detected.
Arrived at a customer's home to find that the heat pump was not providing adequate heating, with the system repeatedly tripping the breaker. After a thorough inspection, I discovered that the compressor's capacitor had failed, causing an electrical overload. I replaced the faulty capacitor, reset the system, and ensured the heat pump was running smoothly, restoring efficient heating to the home. The customer was thankful for the repair
Electrical panel installation. We carefully connected circuits to provide reliable power distribution throughout the house, verifying each connection for proper function. After a thorough inspection, we confirmed the panel's operation, leaving the homeowner with a safe and efficient electrical system.
Arrived at a residential home to address a leaky pipe under the kitchen sink that was causing water to pool. Upon inspection, we discovered a cracked pipe joint that required immediate replacement to prevent further leakage. After carefully installing a new joint and securely tightening all connection, we resolved the issue.
The customer contacted me because their furnace was blowing cold air, leaving their home uncomfortable. I started by checking the thermostat settings and inspecting the system components, using my multimeter to test the ignition system. I discovered a faulty igniter that was preventing the furnace from igniting properly. After replacing the igniter and ensuring all connections were secure, I ran the furnace through a full heating cycle to confirm it was working correctly. The heating was restored, and the customer was relieved to have warmth back in their home.
