Reset GFI receptacle, restoring power to all equipment. Verified operational status of dual-tank water treatment system with digital control heads. Adjusted system parameters by reducing backwash cycle duration on carbon filtration tower and extending regeneration intervals to optimize performance and efficiency.
Performed AC tuneup on older R22 system. During inspection, discovered outdoor unit capacitor had fallen out of specifications and system was low on refrigerant charge. Provided repair estimates to customer, who elected to defer repairs and plan for full system replacement at a later time.
Responded to service call for loud noise and vibration from HVAC system during cooling operation. Upon inspection, discovered entire furnace shaking violently when blower motor engaged. Identified root cause as paper backing from air filter that had not been removed during previous filter change, which was subsequently pulled into blower wheel assembly causing severe imbalance. Removed foreign material from blower wheel, eliminating vibration and noise issue. Verified air conditioning unit operational age at 34 years with newer furnace installation. Connected manifold gauges to refrigeration system and confirmed operating pressures within acceptable parameters. Unit currently cooling effectively following repair. Discussed equipment age and reliability concerns with homeowner given the advanced age of outdoor condensing unit. Scheduled comfort advisor consultation for system replacement evaluation.
Responded to no cooling complaint on kitchen rooftop unit (RTU). Upon inspection, found 5-ton Trane unit operating properly but undersized for the large commercial kitchen space with high heat-generating equipment load. Unit unable to maintain adequate cooling capacity during extreme ambient conditions (95+ degrees), further impacted by makeup air unit introducing additional load. Verified unit maintaining dehumidification function with space temperature at 80 degrees, confirmed system performing at maximum design capacity but inadequate for current application demands.
Responded to water leak complaint originating from bathtub drain assembly and manifesting in basement below. Upon inspection, identified active leak at slip joint fittings on 1-1/4" drain pipe assembly. Determined fittings were inadequately tightened and lacked proper thread sealant.

Verified repair integrity and confirmed leak elimination. Documented plumbing configuration with photographic evidence showing PVC drain assembly and slip joint connections beneath fixture.
Performed comprehensive AC tune-up on 20+ year old Amana system with reported storm damage to condenser coil and excessive runtime concerns. Inspected outdoor unit and found condenser coil fins damaged but insufficient area affected to impact system function; determined fin straightening would cause more harm than good given age and condition of coil. Tested system operation with manifold gauges and identified low R-22 refrigerant charge and severely pitted contactor. Monitored system for 15 minutes during operation, confirming 10-15 degree temperature drop across evaporator. All components functioned properly despite age-related wear. Advised that refrigerant recharge and repairs not recommended due to system age and overall condition; recommended replacement system pricing for consideration.
Responded to no hot water complaint and found tripped breaker with active leak from bottom of existing water heater tank. Removed and disposed of failed unit. Installed new 50-gallon electric Bradford White water heater with proper copper piping connections, dielectric unions, temperature and pressure relief valve, and electrical wiring to code. Tested system operation, verified no leaks, restored hot water service, and confirmed proper breaker function.
Replaced failed kitchen RTU smoke detector that had been installed one month prior. Applied thumb gum sealant around wiring connections and reset port to prevent moisture intrusion. Cleaned condenser coils on all seven rooftop units, which were found to be significantly dirty and may have been missed during spring maintenance.
Responded to report of toilet leak affecting lower level. Upon investigation, determined leak was not originating from toilet fixture but from a hot water line manifold located in the wall cavity behind the toilet. Opened wall to access plumbing assembly and identified corroded copper fittings and compromised pipe connections showing signs of oxidation and verdigris formation. Replaced damaged section of hot water piping and defective fittings with new materials. Secured all connections and tested system for proper operation and leak elimination. Restored wall access opening upon completion of repairs.
Completed comprehensive AC and furnace tune-up for newly occupied residence with reported odor concern during cooling operation. Performed full system inspection and testing of both units, verified all electrical components operating within manufacturer specifications, and pressure-washed outdoor condenser unit to remove debris and ensure optimal airflow. Both heating and cooling systems confirmed functioning properly with no mechanical issues identified at time of service.

Responded to no cooling call on 2022 Goodman AC unit where customer reported breaker was tripping repeatedly before stopping. Upon arrival, discovered no high voltage power to contactor and determined only one leg of power present from breaker panel to outdoor disconnect. Performed ohm checks on compressor and fan motor, confirming both components tested within normal range with no shorts detected. Diagnosed faulty breaker in main electrical panel as root cause of power loss. Recommended electrical service to replace defective breaker; customer elected to perform repair himself.
Responded to no cooling complaint affecting entire residence. Upon inspection, diagnosed failed capacitor on outdoor condensing unit. Discussed system age and R-22 refrigerant considerations with homeowner, explaining potential cost implications of future repairs on aging equipment. Per customer request, proceeded with capacitor replacement. Performed condenser coil cleaning and verified air filter condition was acceptable. Inspected oil furnace and confirmed condensate drain line was clear. Connected manifold gauges to measure refrigerant pressures, which were within acceptable operating range. System tested and confirmed restored to normal cooling operation.
Responded to callback for kitchen RTU not maintaining temperature. Upon inspection, discovered microchannel condenser coil severely plugged with cottonwood debris that was not visible from external view. Purged condenser coil with nitrogen to remove blockage, significantly improving airflow and visibility through coil fins. Unit cooling performance restored and should now maintain setpoint effectively. Noted all rooftop units at location show similar condenser fouling and will require thorough coil cleaning during next scheduled visit for smoke detector service.
Responded to no cooling complaint on 10-year-old residential air conditioning system. Upon inspection, found compressor with blown pins causing immediate breaker trip. Diagnosed failed compressor as root cause of system failure. Discussed findings with homeowner and recommended full unit replacement due to equipment being out of warranty and extent of compressor damage making repair cost-prohibitive. Homeowner declined repair option and requested replacement proposals.
