Responded to no heat call for 16-year-old Gibson high efficiency furnace that was operational upon arrival. System diagnostics revealed intermittent operation with burning smell. After multiple test cycles, identified furnace tripping on high limit switch. Performed comprehensive system check: verified gas pressure, inspected A-coil, filter, heat exchanger, combustion process, blower motor, and exhaust fan - all functioning properly. Determined failing high limit switch as root cause. Replaced high limit switch, restoring proper system operation and safety parameters.
Repaired a split copper water supply pipe in the laundry room that had caused the homeowner to shut off water to the entire house. After completing the repair, advised homeowners to contact their insurance company regarding potential coverage for associated damages.
Responded to service call for a water leak. Upon inspection, located a pin hole leak in copper water piping with visible green corrosion, indicating deterioration. Successfully replaced the damaged section of water pipe to resolve the issue.
Completed annual plumbing inspection revealing two non-functioning fixtures: kitchen sink spigot and water line to refrigerator. Documented existing water heater installation with copper and PVC connections in utility area, and inspected wall-mounted Water Factory Systems filtration unit with three filter cartridges (blue, green, and yellow tops) that appears to be in working condition.
Diagnosed and replaced failing power vent blower motor on 24-year-old natural gas water heater. Upon inspection, blower motor was making excessive noise during operation. Due to unit age and condition, recommended and installed complete water heater replacement rather than component repair.
Diagnosed unit failure in barn heater due to severe heat exchanger deterioration. Observed significant corrosion with multiple holes in the header pipe and cracking eyelets causing flame extinguishment when blower activates. Performed temperature diagnostics and determined replacement of the hanging heater is required due to unsafe operating condition.
Diagnosed and replaced corroded boiler drain valve for washer that was leaking in basement. Installed new brass shutoff valve with PVC connections to restore proper water flow and eliminate leak.
Performed comprehensive furnace tune-up on forced air system of unknown age. System operating normally except for rattling/wobbling inducer motor with abnormally low resistance readings. Completed full diagnostic sequence including heat exchanger inspection, combustion analysis, gas pressure verification, flame sensor and burner inspection, and blower motor assessment. Cleaned pressure switch and verified proper thermostat operation. Recommended inducer motor replacement and filter change as maintenance priorities.
Diagnosed and repaired a water leak in the guest bathroom caused by a faulty wax ring seal, which had resulted in water damage to the finished basement ceiling below. Rebuilt the toilet flange and properly reset the toilet to eliminate the leak.
Responded to a service call for an in-floor heating system powered by a 19-year-old boiler with diminished heating performance. Diagnosed low water pressure causing system shutdown, restored pressure, and performed comprehensive system check of zone valves, manifolds, pumps, and controls. Identified damaged control board on radiant heat mixing block and noisy air handler relay pump; flushed discolored water from loops and temporarily restored boiler operation while preparing estimate for necessary component replacements including sensors.
Diagnosed Lennox Merit Series furnace with no heat complaint. Verified 24V to gas valve but no gas flow. Visual inspection revealed burn damage on control board at gas valve output connection. Heat exchanger was inspected and cleared. Advised customer that control board replacement is required to restore heating function.
Responded to a no heat service callback where previous service could not identify the issue. Diagnosed furnace failure due to pressure switch activation caused by an obstruction in the exhaust system. Removed rocks from the intake pipe, verified proper pressure readings, and reinstalled exterior components. Unit now operating normally and providing adequate heat to the residence.
Conducted comprehensive furnace tune-up including inspection of burners, gas pressure, flame sensor, and blower wheel motor with no immediate concerns identified. Replaced air filter, cleaned pressure switch, and verified thermostat operation. System is functioning properly with normal air handler operation and heating performance.
Responded to no-heat call for relatively new furnace (< 6 months) exhibiting multiple error codes (E223, E225, E227, E229). Diagnostic testing revealed malfunctioning pressure switches and compromised venting system. Attempted to resolve by forcing system into low-fire mode, but issues persisted. Recommended follow-up service to properly evaluate and correct the venting installation to restore proper operation.
Performed a furnace tune-up on residential system. During heat exchanger inspection, discovered a significant 2-3 inch crack in one combustion chamber. Detected rising carbon monoxide levels with increased temperature operation. Informed customer that heat exchanger replacement or full furnace replacement is required.
