Heating Maintenance: As part of seasonal preventive maintenance, I thoroughly cleaned and inspected the furnace’s burners, blower assembly, and heat exchanger. I checked gas connections, tested safety controls, and calibrated the thermostat. These steps ensured reliable operation, improved fuel efficiency, and minimized the likelihood of emergency repairs during the colder months.
Commercial HVAC Service: At a multi-unit office building, I conducted a full preventive maintenance inspection of all rooftop units and air handling systems. I cleaned condenser and evaporator coils, checked refrigerant levels, inspected electrical components, and tested airflow. By addressing minor issues proactively, I ensured system reliability, energy efficiency, and consistent indoor comfort for employees and clients.
Water Heater Repairs: During a service call for inconsistent hot water, I drained the water heater tank and discovered significant sediment buildup and a failing heating element. I cleaned the tank thoroughly, replaced the defective element, and tested water temperature and pressure. These actions restored reliable hot water supply, improved heating efficiency, and prevented potential tank damage.
Heating Maintenance: During a comprehensive heating system tune-up, I inspected the furnace’s blower assembly, burners, and heat exchanger. I cleaned debris, lubricated moving parts, tightened electrical connections, and verified thermostat accuracy. These proactive measures enhanced energy efficiency, reduced the risk of unexpected failures, and extended the system’s lifespan.
Ductwork Repair: The homeowner complained of uneven heating and noticeably dusty air. After inspecting the duct system, I located a large separation in a main trunk line and several smaller leaks in branch ducts. I resealed the trunk line with reinforced mastic, replaced worn flex duct sections, and balanced the airflow to improve comfort and indoor air quality.
Today, I worked on a Rheem Performance Platinum water heater in Bristol, CT that wasn’t producing enough hot water. After troubleshooting, I found that the heating element had failed and there was sediment buildup in the tank. I flushed the system, replaced the faulty element, and tested the unit. Now, the water heater is working efficiently, and the homeowner has plenty of hot water again.
A customer in Bristol, CT had a York TM9V furnace that was producing a burning smell and shutting off unexpectedly. Upon inspection, I found a failing blower motor that was overheating. I replaced the motor, checked the wiring for damage, and tested the system. The furnace is now running safely and efficiently, keeping the home comfortable.
