Performed furnace tune-up on Gibson unit. Inspected and verified good flame sensor operation, tested and adjusted gas valve pressure to proper specification. Filter in good condition. Checked pressure switch and inducer motor functionality - both operating correctly. Conducted combustion analysis with Testo 310 II analyzer, confirming safe carbon monoxide levels within acceptable limits. All systems operating normally with no issues or concerns identified.
Completed scheduled repair of water system components following city water shutoff. Replaced both main service valves, pressure reducing valve (PRV), and bathroom toilet shutoff valve as per sold repair agreement. Verified proper operation of all new components after installation.
Successfully completed a code compliance correction by reinstalling the pressure relief valve on the boiler's heating side from a horizontal to vertical position. Took photographic documentation of the completed installation and forwarded images to the permits department as required for the previously failed inspection.
Performed comprehensive furnace tune-up and safety inspection, including testing for gas leaks, verifying pressure switch operation, and checking for carbon monoxide. Tested flame igniter, gas valve solenoid prongs, flame sensor readings, and blower motor capacitor functionality. Verified and adjusted gas pressures for both stage 1 and 2 heating using manometer, then reassembled unit, secured all electrical connections, and confirmed proper system operation.
Performed standard tune-up on 26-year-old Bryant furnace. System inspection revealed good condition of igniter, flame sensor, gas valve, draft motor, blower motor, and control board with temperature rise within specification. Identified a potential crack in heat exchanger that requires attention as a safety concern. Recommended either heat exchanger replacement or new furnace installation to homeowner, who will discuss options with landlord.
Responded to customer residence to advise on installing customer-supplied Nest thermostat for boiler system. Verified unused A terminal wire was not connected to any equipment components. Determined current Nest model requires C wire for proper operation, which is not available in existing wiring configuration. Advised customer on alternative Google thermostat models compatible with no-C-wire installations. Customer elected to obtain compatible model and perform self-installation.
Replaced inverter board on outdoor unit of Lennox heat pump under warranty service; however, system continued to display code regarding relay O engagement failure. Diagnosed compatibility issue between communicating furnace and non-communicating outdoor unit, determining furnace control board replacement needed. Will return to complete repair once replacement part is acquired.
Completed comprehensive furnace tune-up and safety inspection on FRP furnace of unknown age. Performed full diagnostic testing including gas leak detection, combustion safety checks, electrical component testing (flame igniter, gas valve solenoid, flame sensor), and gas pressure verification for both heating stages. System is now operating properly but requires filter replacement.
Responded to service call for boiler system with active leak. Identified faulty packing in radiator valve causing water to escape at the elbow joint. Documented condition with photos and provided customer with estimate for valve replacement. Customer advised to contact when ready to proceed with repairs.
Performed boiler tune-up service on 20-year-old system after customer reported no heat to second floor radiators. Diagnosed airlock in system preventing proper circulation and critically low water pressure. Purged air from the system, restored water pressure to 18psi, verified proper radiator heating throughout the house, and confirmed normal system operation after checking burners, heat exchanger, flue, fresh air intake, pumps, relay controls, gas pressure, and combustion air.
Successfully removed toilet to accommodate radiator installation, inspected flange and waste pipe for any damage, then reinstalled toilet with new wax ring and supply line. Tested for proper operation and water-tightness after reinstallation, ensuring no leaks at the base or supply connections.
Responded to service call for 20-year-old furnace not producing heat. Diagnostic testing revealed error codes 14 and 34. Upon inspection, found failed hot surface igniter, cracked collector box with visible leakage, and deteriorating inducer motor. Due to unit's age and multiple component failures, recommended system replacement rather than repair.
Responded to no-heat call on aging boiler system with CO leak. Diagnosed faulty thermal limit switch as evidenced by inspection of electrical connections within the unit. Performed temporary repair by replacing thermal limit to restore heat functionality while awaiting scheduled complete boiler replacement as agreed upon with homeowner.
Arrived at residence to repair leaking outdoor spigot with defective shutoff valve. Assessed water supply system in basement utility area, identifying the source of the leak. Replaced damaged hose bib assembly and shut-off valve to restore proper functionality and eliminate water leakage.
Returned to resolve an issue with previously installed tub spout that failed to adhere properly to wall. Found spout approximately 2.5 inches from wall with significant leakage due to failed caulking and an improperly pressed coupling. Completely re-piped line from valve to spout, secured spout to wall with proper sealing, and tightened handle assembly to ensure proper function.
