Top-Notch HVAC, Plumbing & Generator Services in Battle Creek, MI

Installed a P-trap on the condensate drain line per the manufacturer's installation instructions (page 4, figure 2) to correct the inspector's finding. Routed the PVC drain piping from the air handler through the trap to the condensate pump, ensuring proper drainage and preventing air migration through the drain line.

Corrected the inspection deficiency by replacing the non-metallic (Type NM) cable in the exterior wet location with liquid-tight flexible conduit and sealtight fittings from the disconnect to the condenser, secured with conduit straps. The weatherproof connections now comply with code requirements for wet locations, and the installation is ready for re-inspection.

Performed humidifier tune-up on Carrier system, inspecting the internal components, drain hose and clamp connections, and mounting hardware, with no visible damage, cracks, or corrosion noted. Inspected the humidifier filter/water panel and advised the client of its condition relative to the previously reported maintenance, as the furnace tune-up had already been completed.

Responded to a no-heat call on an Amana gas furnace that was clicking at the thermostat but failing to start the blower or ignite. Inspected the unit's ignition sequence, gas supply, flue, and control components to diagnose the cause of the failed call for heat, and verified proper operation after repair, confirming ignition, burner flame, and blower function with the system cycling normally and delivering heat.

Addressed the inspection correction by verifying the condensate drain configuration on the gas furnace and installing a condensate trap within the primary PVC condensate drain line per the manufacturer's installation manual requirements. Confirmed proper drain routing from the furnace to the condensate pump and documented the completed correction with photos for inspector review.

Installed a new Carrier gas furnace in the closet alcove, connecting the flue venting, supply plenum and ductwork, gas and electrical lines, and condensate drain with a condensate pump. Verified all connections, secured the unit, and protected surrounding floors with drop cloths throughout the installation.

Installed new furnace, including removal of the existing unit, setting the replacement in place, and reconnecting gas, electrical, venting, and ductwork. Fabricated and fitted transition and plenum connections to the field-measured dimensions, secured with cleats, then started up the system and verified proper operation.

Performed annual heating tune-up on a 9-year-old furnace, including inspection of the condensate management system. Verified the condensate pump, discharge tubing, and PVC drain piping were properly secured with clamps and fittings in place, and noted surface corrosion and paint wear on the equipment platform for monitoring. No humidifier is installed on the system.

Responded to a no-heat call on a 7-year-old furnace with no heat to the entire home. Performed a visual inspection of the heat exchanger using a borescope, which revealed heavy rust, corrosion, and pitting around a weld joint/opening, indicating heat exchanger failure. Shut off the gas and electrical supply to the furnace, documented the findings with photos, and issued a heat exchanger warning notice outlining the carbon monoxide risk and the need for heat exchanger or furnace replacement; customer acknowledged the notice with a signature.

Performed a complete furnace super tune-up on a Carrier unit, including inspection of the burner assembly, heat exchanger, flame sensor, ignition system, and safety controls, along with cleaning of components and verification of proper combustion and airflow. Inspected the condensate drain and pressure switch tubing, connections, and clamps, as well as the humidifier, finding all in good condition with no frost, rust, cracks, or visible damage. Unit tested through a full heating cycle and is operating normally.

Installed a new Carrier upright gas furnace in the basement, connecting the galvanized flue vent to the existing venting and tying the unit into the supply plenum. Installed a condensate pump with PVC drain line to handle condensate removal, and verified that all connections were secure with no visible leaks.

Performed annual furnace tune-up, including inspection and testing of system components and operation, with no humidifier present on the unit. Inspected the condensate drain pan and fitting, along with the electrical component and wiring at the base of the furnace, and verified safe, proper operation at completion.

Performed drain cleaning on the main sewer line, accessing the system through an excavated cleanout location in the yard to clear the blockage and restore proper flow. Verified drainage from the interior bathroom fixtures after service, with no visible leaks, moisture, or damage observed, and the excavation was marked and covered with a plywood board for safety.

Installed a new gas furnace with matching evaporator coil and AC system, including fabricated galvanized plenum and supply/return duct transitions, flexible duct connections, and refrigerant line set connections. Routed and primed PVC combustion venting and condensate drain piping with a drain pan, connected the black iron gas line with shutoff valve, and completed equipment labeling. Secured Michigan Saves financing and initiated loan documentation.

Responded to a leak under the sink caused by a disconnecting rubber hose and inspected the supply line, shut-off valve, and surrounding connections, including the area of previously completed work. Reseated and secured the disconnected hose fitting at the connection point, then pressure-tested the line to verify a leak-free seal and confirmed no further moisture or damage beneath the fixture.

Installed a new upright gas furnace with matching AC components, connecting the supply plenum and ductwork, galvanized flue vent, and gas and electrical supply through flexible conduit to the junction box. Routed and secured the PVC condensate drain piping to the floor drain, and verified all connections, equipment labeling, and system operation, leaving the unit clean with no visible damage.

Performed a comprehensive tune-up on a 21-year-old gas furnace, including inspection of the cabinet, flue venting, and ductwork connections, and verification of safe operation. Cleaned accumulated dirt and debris from the equipment area, checked gas piping and controls, and confirmed proper flue connection to the chimney/duct system with no visible corrosion or damage. Also inspected the adjacent water heater, noting the T&P relief discharge, gas control valve, and supply connectors in serviceable condition with no leaks or rust observed.

Completed annual heating inspection and tune-up on the Bryant furnace. Performed a visual borescope inspection of the heat exchanger and documented the interior condition with photographs. System checked for proper operation and safe heating performance.

Responded to a washer drain leak and overflow, inspected the PVC drain assembly in the basement, and cleared the blockage in the drain line. Tested the system with water flow and confirmed proper drainage with no leaks or overflow at the standpipe.

Performed a Furnace Super Tune-up on a gas-fired forced-air furnace, including inspection of the burner assembly, heat exchanger, venting, condensate drain, and ductwork connections, with a visual check of the unit's data plate and brand information. Identified heavy corrosion and pitting on the heat exchanger surfaces, including a localized area of possible perforation, which presents a combustion safety concern and should be evaluated further and addressed before continued operation.
