Tested system operation and confirmed hot water delivery.

Responded to a no-heat call on a new furnace that would not energize due to an open wet switch (condensate safety) fault. Inspected the PVC condensate drain assembly and found residue and staining at the fittings consistent with a restricted or backed-up drain; cleared the blockage, restored proper condensate drainage, and verified the wet switch reset. Confirmed the furnace powered up and completed a normal heating cycle with no further faults.

Installed a new Amana gas furnace in the utility space and connected it to the existing supply and return ductwork, including the mounted air cleaner/humidifier component. Piped the combustion air and condensate/vent lines in PVC with rubber couplings and secured them with clamps, and connected the gas supply using a flexible gas connector to the black iron gas line with a shutoff valve. Completed the installation, with all connections secured and the unit set in place for operation.

Performed a furnace super tune-up on a 10-year-old Amana furnace, including a visual inspection and borescope examination of the heat exchanger. Inspection camera footage revealed a corroded, jagged crack along a curved section of the heat exchanger, indicating a compromised heat exchanger that poses a potential carbon monoxide risk. Findings were documented with recorded video, and repair or replacement options were recommended.

Performed annual heating tune-up on 11-year-old Goodman furnace, including opening the unit for inspection of internal components and wiring and testing electrical operation with a multimeter. Noted damaged flexible duct with torn, frayed foil layers and dust buildup at a return/supply connection, along with a loose damper flap and cracked sealant at the masonry wall penetration; recommend duct repair or replacement and resealing to restore proper airflow and efficiency. No frost, ice, or rust observed on the equipment.
