Verified condensate drain assembly, PVC piping, and condensate pump were intact and properly connected, with no signs of leaks, significant corrosion, or frost buildup. System operation was checked and left in working condition.

Installed a new Bradford White gas water heater in the basement utility area, connecting the copper supply lines with shut-off valves, the gas control assembly, and the flexible vent connector to the existing venting. The unit is set in a drip pan on the concrete floor, with connections secured and the system returned to service. Damp staining was noted on the floor near the unit's right side, which may indicate prior moisture or spillage.

Performed annual furnace tune-up on the EnergiAir system, inspecting and servicing components for safe, efficient operation; no humidifier is installed. Photos taken during the visit documented a heavily corroded garbage disposal under the kitchen sink, with rust staining, mineral buildup, and a small hole in the housing, indicating a likely leak and need for replacement.

Performed an on-site estimate for replacement of an approximately 12-year-old gas-fired power-vent water heater. Inspected the unit, its PVC power-vent assembly, gas supply and control valve, and copper supply lines with isolation ball valves, and documented existing conditions with photographs. Observed no visible leaks, corrosion, or damage to the tank or piping, and assessed the installation for replacement scope and options.

Installed a ceiling fan with light kit in the living room, including mounting, wiring, and operational testing of the fan and pull-chain controls. Ran and terminated dedicated electrical circuits in the garage using metal conduit, junction boxes, and secured wiring, ensuring proper connections and code-compliant installation.

Installed a new add-on air conditioning system, setting the outdoor condenser on a level concrete pad and connecting it to the existing Payne gas furnace with a new evaporator coil cabinet. Ran the refrigerant line set and electrical connections, and tied the condensate drain into the existing PVC drain line routed to the condensate pump. Unit appears clean and undamaged with no visible leaks, frost, or defects.

Completed warranty replacement of the gas furnace with a new upright Energi Elite Series unit, installed on a drain pan with PVC condensate and venting routed to the floor drain. Connected the unit to the existing galvanized plenum and ductwork with sealed seams, and verified the filter cabinet and gas piping connections are secure. Equipment is installed cleanly with no visible damage, rust, or leaks.

Performed annual heating tune-up on the furnace, inspecting and verifying proper operation of the unit and its condensate removal system. The condensate pump, drain piping, and trap were checked and found in good condition, with no signs of leaks, rust, frost, or damage. The system was left operating normally, with no humidifier present and the energy-air filtration maintenance current.
