Responded to a no-heat call on a 21-year-old furnace that would not fire on a call for heat. Inspection of the burner/combustion area through the sight glass revealed frost and ice buildup, indicating a moisture or condensate issue that was preventing proper ignition. Cleared the affected area, restored operation, and completed the full furnace tune-up, verifying proper ignition sequence, flame, and heat output at completion.

Responded to a no-heat call on a furnace approximately 10+ years old, performing a diagnostic inspection of the heating system and exterior package unit. Inspection of the burner assembly revealed heavy dust and debris accumulation within the burner tubes and surface rust at the mounting plates and burner flanges, conditions that can impair combustion and ignition and contribute to the heating failure. Findings were documented with photos, and no exterior damage, frost, or ice was observed on the outdoor unit.

Performed annual heating tune-up on the furnace, inspecting the draft inducer motor assembly, pressure switches, wiring harness, and terminal connections. All components appeared secure with no visible damage, rust, or corrosion, and wiring and connectors were found in good condition. Unit was left operating properly.

Responded to a water leak reported near the exhaust area of a 10-year-old Payne gas furnace and inspected the PVC exhaust piping, rubber coupling connections, condensate drain line, and overhead PVC runs for leakage or damage. Verified joints, clamps, and hangers were secure with no visible damage or corrosion, and confirmed the condensate drain path was intact and routed properly.

Responded to a recurring leak at a recently repaired shower, removed the overflow cover and confirmed it was properly secured, and inspected the supply manifold, PEX connections, and copper piping in the access cavity, finding all fittings and joints dry with no active leaks or corrosion. Advised the occupant on proper tub filling practices to avoid water entering the overflow, which may be contributing to the reported leakage at the caulk line.

Performed annual heating tune-up on Carrier furnace (7 years old), including inspection of the burner assembly, heat exchanger, ignition system, flame sensor, and safety controls, along with cleaning of components and verification of proper combustion and airflow. Inspected the surrounding crawl space area and observed no frost, ice, or significant rust; furnace operated normally upon completion with no humidifier present.

Performed an on-site estimate for replacement of an 8-year-old Lochinvar gas-fired water heater with no reported symptoms. Inspected the unit's flue draft hood and galvanized vent, flexible gas line, copper supply and outlet piping with isolation valves, and dielectric inlet and outlet fittings, and found no visible leaks, corrosion, or damage. Documented existing conditions with photographs to support replacement scoping.

Inspected the recently repaired shower and found failed caulk seal allowing water intrusion around the valve trim and surrounding wall surface. Removed the compromised caulk, cleaned mineral deposits and residue from the chrome fixture and adjacent surfaces, and allowed the area to dry completely. Applied fresh waterproof silicone sealant to restore a watertight seal and verified no further leakage.

Completed a Furnace Super Tune-up on a Carrier gas furnace, inspecting and verifying operation of the heat exchanger, burners, ignition system, blower assembly, and safety controls. Inspected the supply plenum and ductwork, confirming secure, intact connections and wiring, with no signs of rust, frost, or breakage. Cleaned accumulated dust and debris from the equipment area, and the system was left operating properly through a full heating cycle.

Responded to a no-heat call on a furnace displaying fault code 33. Inspected the thermostat and found dirty, aged batteries and a display stuck in HOLD mode with erratic setpoint readings. Verified low ambient temperature at the thermostat with a pocket thermometer, replaced the batteries, cleaned the unit, and restored normal thermostat operation and call-for-heat control.

Installed a new boiler with integrated control box, pressure/temperature gauge, and circulator pump, connecting it to the existing copper supply and return piping with isolation valves. Completed piping and electrical connections, including flexible conduit routing, and verified proper system operation.

Performed annual heating inspection on a Carrier gas furnace with a whole-house humidifier installed. Inspected the gas valve assembly, regulator, wiring harness connections, and high-limit switch, finding all components dusty but intact with no signs of corrosion, frost, or damage. Cleaned components as needed and verified safe, proper furnace operation.

Performed an on-site sales estimate for a new air conditioning system replacement ahead of the cooling season, including inspection of the existing outdoor condenser unit, its disconnect, and electrical supply, which was found to be covered by a tarp and in generally weathered but intact condition with no visible frost, rust, or major damage. Also evaluated a no-heat complaint with a blank thermostat display despite confirmed power to the home, noting that the cause could be thermostat failure or a related low-voltage or control issue requiring further diagnosis. Reviewed system options, including a 10-year parts and labor coverage plan, and documented the equipment and site conditions with photos for the estimate.

Diagnosed a no-heat condition where the furnace fired briefly then shut down while the blower continued to run. Inspection of the attic ductwork found a torn, frayed flex duct with exposed insulation fibers, causing air leakage and likely contributing to restricted airflow and a limit-related shutdown. Documented the damaged duct section and recommended repair or replacement of the compromised flex duct to restore proper airflow and normal furnace operation.

Completed a furnace and humidifier tune-up on a 13-year-old Carrier furnace, including inspection, cleaning, and performance verification of the heating system and humidifier. During the visit, the run capacitor and its wiring connections in the equipment cabinet were inspected and tested, with terminal connections checked for security and signs of wear.

Installed a new Amana vertical gas furnace with matching evaporator coil cabinet on a drain pan, connecting the PVC vent and combustion air piping, condensate drain with safety switch, gas supply with shutoff valve, and supply plenum ductwork. Verified all connections were secure, affixed the required warning and information labels, and completed the installation documentation, leaving the equipment clean with no visible leaks or damage.

Performed a Super Tune-up on an 11-year-old Carrier furnace and inspected the heat exchanger, which revealed a hole in one of the cells. The unit was shut down and red-tagged per safety protocol, a heat exchanger warning was issued with the Heat Exchanger Diagnosis Guarantee documentation, and the system was left off pending heat exchanger repair or furnace replacement due to carbon monoxide risk.

Responded to a recurring bathroom leak that had saturated and compromised the ceiling drywall below, leaving an open section with peeling paper facing and exposed framing, decking, and electrical cabling. Inspected the affected area to locate the source of the water intrusion and addressed the leak at the plumbing connection. The damaged drywall and loose ceiling paper were identified for removal and repair once the area is fully dry.

Replaced the tub/shower valve trim kit and internal seals to restore proper operation and eliminate leakage at the Delta valve assembly. Reinstalled the chrome tub spout, wall plate, and showerhead, then tested for correct flow and diverter function, with no leaks observed.

Evaluated the electrical service panel and finished basement living area to estimate installation of a new dedicated branch circuit and breaker for an electric fireplace. The panel cover was removed to assess available breaker space, existing wiring condition, and routing options to the planned fireplace location. The estimate was prepared for the dedicated circuit installation.
