Installed a 2.5-ton heat pump with matching evaporator coil, integrating it with the existing gas furnace and supply plenum in a dual-fuel configuration. Connected the line set, condensate drain, and low-voltage controls, and verified startup of the Lennox touchscreen thermostat for proper system communication and operation.

Responded to a no-operation complaint and verified the thermostat was functioning properly. Inspected the gas furnace, including the control board, 24V low-voltage circuit and fuse, transformer, and wiring connections, and performed electrical diagnostics with a clamp meter. Unit components showed no visible damage, frost, or corrosion.

Performed prepaid maintenance on both the furnace and AC system, both two years old and operating properly. Inspected electrical components at the outdoor unit, including the dual-run capacitor (35+5 MFD, 440 VAC) and wiring connections, with no signs of rust, frost, or damage observed. Verified filter size of 13 x 21.5 x 1 per equipment records; both systems were left in proper working condition.

Diagnosed leaking fixtures at the kitchen sink, bathroom sink, and tub, and found heavy mineral scale and corrosion buildup in the tub faucet handle assembly, with worn, tarnished trim and a tape-repaired area on the tub surface. Evaluated the failed garbage disposal for replacement and assessed the installation requirements for the customer's newly ordered dishwasher.

Inspected the vertical air handler following a prior repair and found the refrigerant line had been bent into position without a system pump-down, creating a risk of cracking the line. Also found a disconnect installed inside the cabinet that was difficult to access and unnecessary due to the nearby service breaker, along with disorganized low-voltage control wiring. Documented the unit condition and wiring, and noted the corrective work required to properly address the refrigerant line, wiring, and unneeded disconnect.

Responded to a leaking commercial main sewer line and excavated the affected section adjacent to the building, establishing a cordoned safety perimeter with caution tape and traffic cones. Exposed the line and identified active leakage, evidenced by standing foamy water and mineral deposits beneath the concrete slab and stacked corrugated pipe sections. The main line was repaired to stop the leak.

Replaced the failed blower motor on the Bryant air handler. The existing motor and blower assembly was removed from the unit, and a new ECM-style blower motor was installed and secured to the housing bracket arms. Reassembled the cabinet and access panel, then verified proper blower operation.

Inspected the leaking commercial toilet and found a cracked and chipped porcelain section at the closet bolt flange, with corroded closet bolt hardware and the wax/rubber seal exposed through the fracture. The damaged porcelain and compromised seal were identified as the source of the leak, and the fixture is not repairable. Documented the condition with photos and prepared a detailed estimate for fixture replacement and new bolt and seal hardware for review and approval.

Completed a 200 amp service panel upgrade, installing a new flush-mounted distribution panel with a main breaker and a digital monitoring module, and landing all branch circuits on properly sized breakers. Circuits were identified with handwritten directory labels and the panel schedule was posted inside the door. Wall cutouts were opened to set the enclosure, with surrounding drywall and insulation left exposed for patch and finish work.

Performed a monthly heating maintenance visit on the Trane KX95 gas furnace, including removal and inspection of the 16x20x1 return air filter and a general system check in the equipment closet. Inspected the air handler's A-coil and found notable rust staining along the coil face, with corrosion and discoloration on the cabinet floor near the condensate piping and refrigerant lines, indicating possible moisture or leakage issues. Recommend further evaluation of the evaporator coil and condensate drainage to prevent further deterioration.

Performed a seasonal HVAC tune-up, inspecting system operation and verifying thermostat function. Confirmed the Honeywell digital thermostat powers on, displays the current temperature reading, and responds to the system selector (Heat/Off/Cool) and fan selector (Auto/On) settings. Noted cosmetic wear and staining on the thermostat housing, with no operational deficiencies identified.

Responded to an install callback for a missing wire connection and a reported sewer odor at the water heater. Opened the drywall at the electrical panel, exposing the breaker box with the cover removed, to access and add the required wiring at the panel. Water heater odor complaint was documented for follow-up evaluation, including drain trap and venting inspection.

Performed seasonal heating maintenance on the gas furnace, including inspection of the burner assembly, heat exchanger, gas connections, venting, and condensate/PVC drain components, and installed a new 16x25x5 air filter. Verified proper furnace operation, inspected the flexible gas lines and shutoff valves for integrity, and confirmed the adjacent water heater gas connections were secure. The outdoor condenser was inspected and found clean and intact with no visible damage, and the system was left operating normally.

Repaired the heat kit and modified the lineset to allow proper installation of the air filter in the unit. Inspected the electrical panel and the 40A/double-pole breaker serving the heat kit, verified breaker condition and wiring connections, and confirmed the system was restored to proper operation.

Completed installation of a Lennox heat pump system, including the indoor air handler with insulated flex duct and foil-wrapped supply plenum connections, secured with zip ties, and PVC condensate drain routing with elbow fittings. Installed and configured a Honeywell Home ProSeries digital thermostat, which is operating properly and displaying a 67°F reading. Verified the system showed no signs of frost, rust, or visible damage at completion.

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.
