Expert HVAC & Plumbing Services in Bloomington, IN

Responded to a no-heat call and found the furnace's service disconnect switch in the OFF position, which was cutting power to the unit. Inspected the control compartment, verified line-voltage and low-voltage thermostat wiring connections were intact, and removed accumulated dust and lint from the cabinet. Restored power at the switch, labeled it for homeowner awareness, and confirmed the furnace returned to normal heating operation.

Installed a Bradford White AeroTherm heat pump water heater in a utility closet, connecting the hot and cold supply lines with flexible connectors, brass fittings, and a ball valve. Installed supply and return air ducting with collars on the unit and a louvered closet vent grille for adequate airflow, and ran the condensate drain line in PVC. Verified all connections were secure and leak-free with no visible damage.

Performed a diagnostic assessment of the electric tank water heater, including electrical testing of the heating element and thermostat circuit with a clamp meter at the exposed access panel. Inspected the adjacent supply piping and valves, noting staining on the pipe near the upper fittings. Measured the furnace room door opening to confirm clearance for replacement equipment.

Performed a monthly heating maintenance inspection on the air handler, including examination of the blower assembly, evaporator coil, and associated wiring. Observed light dust and grime accumulation on the blower wheel blades and minor surface discoloration on the motor shaft, and noted a split in the suction line insulation exposing a short section of bare copper tubing that should be re-insulated to prevent condensation. The 20x20x4 air filter was not included in this service.

Responded to a no-heat call with no system response at the thermostat. Inspected the Honeywell analog thermostat and the furnace control board, verified 24 VAC control voltage and board operation (status LED illuminated), and noted discoloration on the board near the resistors indicating possible heat stress or contamination. Evaluated the control circuit and relay to determine the cause of the heat call failure.

Installed a complete cold climate heat pump system to restore heating, including up to 50' of 6/2 low-voltage control wiring and 10/2 power wiring to the air handler with a new breaker and disconnect. Commissioned the system via the smart thermostat's manual test mode, verifying proper relay operation through cooling second stage (Y1/Y2 closed, W1/W2 open), and confirmed supply air temperature with a digital thermometer to verify system performance.

Responded to a new installation complaint of the furnace failing to raise indoor temperature above 66°F against a 72°F setpoint. Inspected the thermostat wall plate and low-voltage wiring connections, with terminals and conductors showing no visible damage, and measured a temperature reading at the ductwork to evaluate heating output and airflow performance.

Performed a seasonal tune-up and cleaning on the furnace prior to heating season, inspecting the cabinet interior, removing accumulated dust and debris, and verifying the 16x25x1 filter fit, with torn duct tape noted at the filter slot. Conducted a combustion analysis, recording O2 at 8.9%, CO at 35 ppm, CO2 at 7.9%, and flue temperature of 126.2°F, and confirmed the unit was operating safely and ready for use.

Performed a comfort consultation and inspection of the cooling system, including the outdoor condenser unit and the Rheem gas furnace with R-410A evaporator coil cabinet. The system was found to be low on refrigerant and the unit's age was noted as a factor in recommending replacement. The homeowner was unavailable during the visit, so the replacement estimate was scheduled for a later appointment.

Performed seasonal heating maintenance on the Lennox-controlled system under the Basic plan, including installation of a new 16x20x1 air filter and verification of thermostat operation in heat mode. Measured supply duct air temperature at approximately 80.9°F with a digital probe thermometer to confirm heating output, and the system was found operating normally.

Performed A/C diagnostic evaluation on the system, confirming reported issues including a continuously running blower, a line set requiring reset, no emergency shut-off switch installed, and no filter present at the air handler. Inspected the Honeywell thermostat (displaying an alert with no Wi-Fi connectivity) and documented the air handler's condition, noting insulated suction line wear, rust staining at the line set penetration, and staining and moisture near the condensate drain piping. Findings were recorded with photos to support repair estimates, and a follow-up visit is recommended to quote corrective repairs.

Responded to an emergency call for an unresponsive thermostat on a 7-year-old heat pump system and replaced the failed Honeywell wall-mounted digital thermostat. Verified the new unit powered up and completed its date/time configuration, and inspected the indoor air handler and associated flue and wiring connections, finding no visible damage, rust, or frost.

Completed a full Lennox heat pump system installation, including setting the outdoor condenser unit on a level pad and routing insulated refrigerant lines and electrical conduit along the foundation wall with secured clips. Installed a Dwyer Magnehelic differential pressure gauge on the indoor air handling equipment to monitor static pressure and verify airflow performance, with the reading within the normal low-range operating scale at startup.

Responded to a water leak at the base of the indoor unit and diagnosed the condensate drainage issue, referencing the manufacturer's blower data to verify airflow and static pressure performance. Inspected the outdoor condenser and noted overgrown vegetation crowding the unit, restricting airflow and recommending clearance be maintained. Customer was also enrolled in the basic monthly maintenance membership.

Responded to a no-cool complaint on a 5-year-old residential split-system condenser. Inspected the outdoor unit and found the compressor with surface rust and corrosion on the lower end cap, dirt and debris buildup on the housing, and leaf litter around the base. Verified the condenser fan and motor, evaluated the compressor and associated electrical connections and sensor wiring, and checked the refrigerant line set, noting tarnished copper tubing; findings indicate a possible compressor or refrigerant circuit issue contributing to the loss of cooling.

Performed a second-opinion diagnostic on a Bryant Evolution Connex system and reviewed the thermostat fault log, which showed an active 41-Blower Motor Fault preceded by a 210-Excessive Static Pressure event. Documented the fault codes with photos and evaluated the system to provide the customer with repair and replacement options for the unit.

Performed seasonal tune-up on a 2013 model outdoor condensing unit, documenting unit data and condition. Inspection revealed heavy dust, lint, and debris matting on the condenser coil surface, along with leaves and debris on the cabinet floor, restricting airflow; coil and cabinet were cleaned to restore heat transfer. Noted weathered cabinet finish and an umbrella placed over the fan opening, which should be removed to prevent airflow obstruction and fan damage, and checked the electrical disconnect, wiring, and refrigerant line insulation.

Provided estimate for installation of one mini-split system to serve 900 square foot garage space. Assessed existing electrical panel capacity and available breaker positions for new dedicated circuit requirement. Evaluated garage structure including ceiling configuration, garage door opener placement, and optimal equipment mounting locations for both indoor air handler and outdoor condensing unit.

Responded to callback for Mitsubishi Electric mini split system displaying error code and not operating. Upon arrival, inspected unit and Mitsubishi thermostat control, which was previously non-responsive. Performed system diagnostics and cleared error code from controller. Cycled system power and verified thermostat display restored to normal operation showing temperature reading of 76°F. Confirmed all control functions operational and mini split system running properly with no active error codes.

Responded to service call for tankless water heater displaying error code 12. Upon inspection, diagnosed issue with the unit's heating element and flow sensor. Accessed installation location in ceiling cavity between floor joists where unit was mounted alongside existing HVAC ductwork and plumbing lines. Cleared error code, tested water flow and temperature output, and verified proper operation of all safety mechanisms. Unit restored to full functionality with consistent hot water delivery.
