Responded to a no-heat callback on an electric furnace following a prior repair visit. Inspected the low-voltage control compartment and found thermostat wiring at the terminal block (W1, W2, Y1, Y2) with loose, unterminated spade connectors, indicating a wiring/connection fault as the likely cause of the intermittent system shutdown. Secured and verified low-voltage connections to restore proper control circuit operation.

Installed new warm air exhaust piping for the fans, routing insulated flexible ducting through the attic framing and insulation to the roof penetration. Flashed and sealed the roof access point with roofing tar to ensure a watertight, leak-free termination.

Performed a complimentary second-opinion inspection and a complete duct cleaning on the 5-ton system, including the air handler plenum cabinet, which had accumulated dust and debris. Completed a minor duct modification to install a filter and sealed the ductwork and duct penetration with silicone to reduce air leakage. Inspected the attic-mounted air handler and high-efficiency air cleaner and documented a heavily charred, heat-damaged copper line near the unit's fittings for further evaluation.

Inspected and repaired the flue venting on the tankless water heater, addressing the PVC exhaust piping from the unit's exhaust connection through the elbow and horizontal run in the utility area to the exterior termination beneath the deck structure. Verified secure clamped connections and proper pipe routing and termination, with no visible leaks, cracks, or corrosion observed on the venting or adjacent copper supply line and isolation valve.

Repaired the natural gas supply line at the exterior meter assembly, addressing corroded black iron piping, fittings, and riser with rust and flaking coating. Restored the pipe connections and wall penetration, resealed the siding entry point, and leak-tested the system to confirm a secure, code-compliant gas supply.

Responded to a call for a unit that would not shut off unless the thermostat was removed from the wall. Inspected the ClimateMaster heat pump and the Honeywell wall thermostat, finding the equipment intact with no visible damage, frost, or corrosion. Evaluated the thermostat and its low-voltage control circuit to diagnose the stuck-on call for operation.

Responded to a no-hot-water callback and inspected the Navien tankless water heater. The unit was operating normally, with the control panel showing a 120°F outlet temperature setpoint, active flame indication, and a 4.4 GPM flow rate. Hot water delivery was verified and the system is functioning properly.

Installed a complete Lennox heat pump system with associated electrical wiring, including a new Honeywell Home digital programmable thermostat for system control. Performed static pressure testing with a dual-port digital manometer to verify airflow and ductwork performance, confirming readings within acceptable range before system commissioning.

Installed a 50-gallon Bradford White AeroTherm heat pump water heater, connecting hot and cold supply lines with brass fittings and routing a PVC condensate drain. Supplied power via a cord-and-plug connection from the adjacent electrical panel, and configured the unit's digital controls with the setpoint at 120°F. Verified the installation with no visible leaks, damage, or defects.

Performed an on-site evaluation for a proposed furnace replacement, inspecting the existing Trane gas furnace, associated PVC venting, supply and return ductwork, and plenum connections in the basement utility area. Also inspected the exterior condensing unit and electrical disconnect, noting vegetation and debris encroaching on the unit's required clearance. Documented equipment conditions with photos to support replacement sizing and estimate preparation.

Installed a Bradford White tankless gas water heater, wall-mounted on the masonry wall, with PVC venting, a flexible gas connection, and PEX supply and return piping with isolation valves. Connected all lines in a tight basement mechanical space and secured the piping to the joists.

Installed a new Lennox heat pump system, including approximately 20 feet of electrical wiring to supply power to the new unit. Verified system operation and temperature performance with a digital thermometer, and completed the installation paperwork with the customer's sign-off.

Brought the tankless water heater into compliance with Indiana code and manufacturer specifications by installing isolation valves and a temperature and pressure relief valve to allow proper servicing and overpressure protection. Upsized the gas supply from 1/2" to 3/4" per manufacturer requirements, and reworked the condensate line and discharge to route through a condensate pump. Relocated the exhaust termination away from the egress window to meet the minimum 4' clearance required by the IPC.

Assessed the existing bathroom exhaust lines and scoped the replacement with rigid hard piping to the exterior termination. Inspected and measured the kitchen cooking area, including the clearance between the range surface and the overhead cabinets and microwave, to prepare a quote for a new range hood installation.

Performed a second-opinion evaluation of an existing gas-fired water heater and inspected the installation, including the galvanized flue/vent connection, CPVC and PVC water supply lines, shutoff valve, and tank exterior, finding no visible rust, frost, or leaks. Documented the unit with photos and prepared replacement estimates for both a conventional tank-style and a tankless water heater option for the customer's review.

Responded to a reported sink leak and performed a diagnostic inspection of the fixture and associated supply and drain connections to identify the source of the water loss. The issue was addressed and the area was checked to confirm the leak was resolved; the exterior photos show a dry, intact concrete walkway with no signs of water pooling or damage.

Responded to an emergency no-heat call on a furnace/air handler that produced a clicking noise and failed to start. Inspected the unit, controls, and electrical connections, diagnosed the cause of the startup failure, and performed the necessary repair to restore operation. System was tested through a full heating cycle and is now running normally with heat restored.

Inspected exterior piping at the base of a brick wall and located an open, uncapped PVC pipe stub protruding approximately 1–2 inches above grade, surrounded by loose gravel and dry clay soil. Assessed the condition and exposure of the pipe end to determine scope of work, including capping or sealing, and documented the site conditions to prepare a repair estimate.

Responded to an emergency no-heat call on a gas furnace approximately 6 years old and found the return air filter (Filtrete 16x25x5) heavily loaded with dust and debris, with collapsed pleats restricting airflow. Removed the clogged filter, confirmed the furnace cabinet, PVC intake/exhaust piping, and condensate drain line and pump were intact and free of visible damage, and restored heating operation. Recommended regular filter replacement to prevent airflow restriction and recurrence of the no-heat condition.

Responded to a recurring toilet flushing complaint and inspected the two-piece elongated-bowl toilet, confirming bowl water level, drain opening, and overall fixture condition. Performed diagnostic checks of the flush mechanism and drain flow to address the returned poor-flush condition, and verified the fixture is operating properly after service. Fixture is clean, accessible, and functioning as intended.
