Seymour’s #1 HVAC, Plumbing & Generator Provider

Performed scheduled monthly heating maintenance on a geothermal heat pump system, inspecting the outdoor unit's open access panel, circulator pump, valve assembly, and insulated loop piping and confirming proper connections at the ground loop. Inspected the indoor air handler, refrigerant line insulation, and condensate drain assembly, and replaced the air filter as part of the recurring filter service. Verified system operation and found no issues requiring further repair.

Performed seasonal tune-up and inspection on the heat pump (Daikin DZ14SA0301KE) and gas furnace (approx. 7 years old); both systems were operating properly with no deficiencies found. Inspected the outdoor unit's electrical compartment, verifying contactor, grounding, and wiring connections were secure with no signs of burn damage, rust, or frost, and noted only light dust and debris. Verified supply air temperature at the foil-wrapped duct using a digital pocket thermometer, which read 123.6°F, confirming normal heating performance.

Responded to a flooding downstairs toilet and located the exterior main sewer cleanout, where the open standpipe showed heavy staining and standing sewage, indicating a main drain blockage. Accessed the cleanout to relieve the obstruction and restore proper drainage flow, eliminating the backup at the fixture.

Performed Comfort Care maintenance on both the heating and cooling systems. On the outdoor condensing unit, removed the access panel, connected a manifold gauge set to check refrigerant system operating pressures, and inspected the condenser coil, fan assembly, and unit pad, finding no frost, ice, or rust. On the gas furnace, removed the lower access panel to inspect the burner assembly, inducer/blower motor, wiring, and controls, and checked the condensate drain trap and PVC piping, with no visible damage or deficiencies noted.

Performed seasonal heating maintenance on a York upright air handler/furnace, inspecting the unit's cabinet, controls, wiring, and surrounding area for signs of damage, rust, or frost, with none observed. Filter size could not be determined and requires documentation. Noted that the unit's clearances are restricted by stored materials, including metal panels leaning against the cabinet, which should be relocated to maintain proper airflow and safe service access.

Replaced the failed 35/3 MFD dual-run capacitor in the condenser control section and reconnected the leads to their proper terminals (blue to HERM, brown to FAN, red to common). Cleaned debris from the terminal area and verified secure connections, restoring compressor and condenser fan motor operation.

Performed scheduled heating system maintenance and replaced the return air filter with a new 20x25x1 unit, confirming proper airflow arrow orientation toward the blower motor. Cleaned accumulated dust and debris from the filter slot and surrounding duct surfaces. Verified thermostat operation, with indoor temperature holding at setpoint at 72°F against a 41°F outdoor ambient.

Performed heating-season preventive maintenance on the American Standard vertical air handler, inspecting the cabinet, supply plenum, insulated ductwork, condensate drain piping, refrigerant line connection, and electrical conduit, with no signs of frost, rust, or damage observed. Inspected the 20x25x4 media filter and documented its condition with the service date marked on the filter. The system was left in good operating condition.

Performed a monthly plumbing inspection, including a visual check of the sink drain assembly, P-trap slip-nut connections, angle-stop shutoff valves, and braided supply lines, with no active leaks observed. Noted minor tarnish and discoloration at the drain tailpiece and flange, and sealant at the trap connection near the wall. Also inspected the water heater's supply lines, fittings, and temperature and pressure relief valve labeling, finding all connections intact and in service.

Evaluated the electrical scope for a structure under renovation, including rewiring an existing light fixture to an independent switch, installing a bathroom exhaust fan, and repairing a sump pump receptacle. Assessed the framed wall cavities and existing wiring for routing options and reviewed the feasibility of running a dedicated 240V circuit from the main breaker panel for an EV charging station.

Responded to a clogged kitchen sink complaint on a double-basin stainless steel sink. Cleared the blockage in the drain line and verified proper flow by running water through the right basin, with the drain now evacuating freely. Inspected the cabinet beneath the sink and noted staining and possible moisture marks on the cabinet floor, which may indicate a past or slow leak and should be monitored.

Performed seasonal heating maintenance on the HVAC system, inspecting the air handler and condensing unit components and removing accumulated dust and debris from the blower wheel and housing. Inspected the run capacitor and surrounding wiring, noting corrosion and debris at the terminals and cobweb buildup within the cabinet, and cleared the debris. Filter replacement was not included in this visit.

Replaced the faulty single-handle shower valve cartridge with a Delta Genuine Parts replacement cartridge (RP46463) to restore proper operation of the shower valve. Installed the new OEM cartridge in the existing valve body and confirmed the trim assembly was secure.

Performed seasonal heating maintenance on the heat pump system, including inspection of the air handler, indoor coil, and ductwork connections, with no frost, rust, or visible damage observed. Verified UV lamp operation, confirmed proper airflow components and insulation integrity, and tested thermostat operation in heat mode with the system responding normally. Filter (20x20x4) was not included with this visit.

Performed an on-site evaluation of a non-operational upright furnace and associated galvanized ductwork in a basement mechanical space to scope a full system replacement. Inspected the furnace cabinet, access panel, and supply/return duct runs, including flexible duct and taped duct joints, and documented existing conditions with photos. Prepared a replacement estimate for the failed unit, with scheduling coordinated to accommodate the customer's availability.

Responded to a no-power complaint in an outbuilding where the lighting would not energize and the breaker was reported as not tripped. Inspected the electrical supply and the lighting circuit to determine why power was not reaching the fixtures, and documented the work area with photos. Further repair details were not recorded, so the specific root cause and corrective action should be confirmed by the technician before this record is finalized.

Performed annual maintenance inspection on the unit, including a visual check of the condensate drain piping, cabinet interior, and internal electrical wiring. Documented wet floor conditions and residue at the PVC drain joints, indicating possible condensate leakage, and recommend further evaluation of the drain line connections. Verified hose clamps and fittings were secure and noted loose internal wiring for follow-up.

Performed seasonal maintenance on both the heating and cooling systems, including inspection of the outdoor condenser and indoor equipment. Inspected the dual-run capacitor, verified secure mounting and wiring connections, and confirmed proper condition of the control board and wire harness with no visible corrosion, frost, or physical damage. Noted a 20x20x4 filter size for the system; filter not included in the service.

Replaced defective thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) under manufacturer warranty. Recovered refrigerant, installed new TXV, then evacuated and recharged the system to specification using a calibrated refrigerant charging scale to ensure an accurate charge by weight.

Responded to a no-heat complaint on a split system consisting of an indoor Goodman gas furnace and an outdoor Goodman condenser, where cooling operated normally. Inspection showed the heating source is a gas-fired furnace, not an all-electric heat pump, so the system is a conventional air conditioner and furnace combination; the furnace has an intact gas supply with shutoff valve, PVC vent and drain piping, and no visible corrosion or damage. The outdoor condenser coil was noted to be dirty with debris buildup and leaf accumulation around the pad, and cleaning of the coil and surrounding area is recommended to maintain cooling efficiency.
