Top-Notch HVAC, Plumbing & Generator Services in Rockford, MI

Performed annual heating tune-up on two Carrier furnaces (2019 manufacture), inspecting the condensate drain assembly, PVC venting and combustion air piping, gas and refrigerant line connections, and surrounding electrical junction components. Confirmed secure pipe couplings and clamps, verified proper drain routing, and observed no frost, rust, cracks, or other significant anomalies, with systems left in satisfactory operating condition.

Performed annual heating tune-up on gas furnace, including inspection of the cabinet, venting, and condensate drain components. Noted rust-colored staining at the PVC coupling joints on the 3/4" condensate/vent piping, indicating possible minor seepage; recommend monitoring these joints for leaks and corrosion. System operating normally upon completion, with no humidifier present.

Performed a furnace super tune-up, inspecting the blower assembly, electrical connections, and condensate drain system and testing component operation with a multimeter. Found heavy corrosion on the cabinet floor around the condensate drain pan and hose connection, along with rusted fasteners, which were replaced with new zinc-plated hardware. Recommend monitoring the drain line and pan area for ongoing moisture leakage, as the corrosion indicates a prior or recurring condensate issue.

Cleared a clogged toilet caused by a flushed diaper obstruction. Removed the tank lid to inspect the flush valve, flapper, and fill valve assemblies, then cleared the drain line and restored proper flushing and drainage. Verified the tank refilled correctly and the fixture operated normally.

Inspected the furnace for intermittent operation and thermostat errors and found the flame sensor heavily oxidized with carbon buildup, preventing consistent flame proving and causing the unit to shut down mid-cycle. Removed and cleaned the flame sensor, and inspected the burner assembly, noting surface rust and corrosion at the burner flange edges. Reinstalled all components and verified proper ignition, flame signal, and complete heating cycles, with burner corrosion documented for monitoring ahead of peak winter.

Performed scheduled maintenance tune-up on a Generac standby generator, including engine oil and filter service with the oil drain valve and hose inspected for leaks and secure connections. Inspected the engine compartment, intake housing and hose, wiring, and insulation, and found no visible damage, rust, or leaks. Unit is in good working condition following service.

Performed scheduled tune-up on an 8-year-old Generac standby generator, including engine oil and oil filter replacement (filter marked with service hours at 102.8) and inspection of the engine compartment. Verified oil fill cap, wiring harness connections, protective conduit, hoses, clamps, and drain valve for wear, leaks, and secure fitment, and confirmed the unit is in proper working condition.

Performed an on-site assessment of the existing 6.5-year-old tank-style water heater in the basement utility enclosure, documenting the surrounding PVC drain/vent piping, PEX and copper supply lines, and overhead ductwork clearances. Reviewed tankless and heat pump (tank) replacement options with the homeowner, covering installation requirements, venting, condensate drainage, electrical considerations, and available space. No visible rust, frost, or damage was observed, and photos were taken to support the replacement proposal.

Performed an on-site estimate for connecting a 1" polyethylene natural gas line from a detached pole barn to the existing residential gas meter, with the line to be pulled through a directional bore. Inspected the exterior gas meter assembly, which consists of a post-mounted meter with galvanized riser piping and a horizontal run along the foundation, and noted nearby electrical equipment, a generator transfer enclosure, and an A/C condenser that must be accounted for in tie-in routing and clearances. Documented existing conditions with photos to support scope and material planning.

Performed annual heating tune-up on the furnace and humidifier, inspecting the cabinet, wiring, control board, and condensate drain assembly. Noted significant rust and corrosion on the cabinet floor and interior walls consistent with prior moisture exposure, along with matted, deteriorated insulation and staining beneath the condensate line. Recommend monitoring the unit's condition and evaluating condensate drainage and cabinet integrity at future visits, given the age of the equipment.

Performed annual heating maintenance on a 15-year-old Lennox furnace, including a complete tune-up and inspection of key components for safe, efficient operation. Serviced the whole-house humidifier as part of the recurring maintenance plan. Confirmed system performance and left the equipment operating properly.

Inspected newly installed gas furnace for reported burning odor and found moisture and corrosion on the burner compartment floor and near the inducer assembly and wiring connections, along with condensate residue accumulated in the PVC vent piping and rubber coupling. Verified inducer motor, gas valve, pressure switch, and vent connections, and cleared the vent and condensate path to restore proper drainage and eliminate the source of the odor, noting that the installation should be checked for proper condensate routing and vent sealing before inspection.

Updated the well pressure tank assembly, replacing the pressure switch and associated supply piping with new copper pipe and press-style fittings. Reconnected the system to the existing Franklin Electric solid-state control enclosures and brass isolation valve, and verified the installation was secure with no visible leaks at the new connections.

Installed two new two-piece elongated toilets, securing each to the floor flange with closet bolts and finish caps. Connected braided stainless steel supply lines to the shut-off valves, set the tanks, and sealed the base of each unit to the vinyl flooring. Tested for proper flush operation and verified no leaks at the connections.

Performed annual heating tune-up on the furnace, including inspection of the combustion and venting components, and serviced the GeneralAire whole-house humidifier, verifying water supply, drain line, and duct connection. Visually inspected the Bryant outdoor condensing unit, disconnect, and refrigerant line, with no frost, rust, or visible damage observed. Equipment is in good condition and operating properly.

Responded to a no-heat call on an 8-year-old furnace with a non-operational blower and inspected the unit's control board and low-voltage thermostat wiring at the terminal block. Found loose, unsecured thermostat conductors (R, W, G, Y, O, and BK/YLO terminals) and signs of residue or corrosion on the integrated control board, which can interrupt the blower call and heat demand signal. Reseated and secured the low-voltage connections and evaluated the board's condition, with the control board identified as the likely cause of the blower failure.

Removed the existing bathroom sink faucet and installed the customer-supplied widespread brushed nickel faucet with matching lever handles on the vanity. Connected the braided stainless steel supply lines to the shutoff valves and verified the drain assembly and P-trap were secure. Tested hot and cold operation and confirmed proper flow with no leaks at the connections.

Performed annual furnace and humidifier tune-up, inspecting the air handler cabinet, condensate drain pan, and electrical components, and testing system electrical values with a multimeter. Found sludge and debris buildup with standing water in the drain pan, indicating microbial and mineral growth; recommend cleaning and treating the pan to maintain proper drainage. Installed new MERV 8 pleated air filters and verified no signs of frost, rust, or significant damage at the unit and PVC condensate piping.

Performed a complete furnace super tune-up on a 16-year-old Lennox unit, with no humidifier present. Inspected and cleaned the condensate pump, removing heavy sludge and slime buildup from the reservoir and float assemblies, and verified proper float operation and condensate drainage. Replaced condensate pan treatment tablets and confirmed the unit was operating properly at completion.

Performed annual heating tune-up on the boiler and humidifier, and inspected the hydronic system's expansion tank, air purger, and automatic air vent, which showed normal age-related tarnishing with no signs of leaks or heavy corrosion. Serviced two Slant Fin units and two Reznor heaters in the barn. Found that the in-floor heater controller connection had blown off with the valve left open; the client has isolated that zone at the main shutoff valve, and the controller connection will need repair before the zone is returned to service.
