All fixtures tested and verified operational with no leaks detected.
Completed annual AC tune-up on 3-year-old system under maintenance agreement. Addressed customer concern regarding water accumulation near furnace, which was determined to be caused by humidifier operating during cooling season. Replaced air filter, performed comprehensive inspection of all system components including electrical connections, refrigerant levels, condensate drainage, and airflow, with all measurements within manufacturer specifications. System tested for 15 minutes showing proper operation with temperature split exceeding 22 degrees across evaporator coil. Advised customer to monitor area with humidifier remaining off and confirmed no further water issues since deactivation. System operating efficiently and ready for cooling season.
Responded to service call for clogged toilet in residential bathroom. Upon arrival, confirmed toilet was not draining properly due to blockage in the drain line. Successfully cleared obstruction using toilet auger, restoring full drainage and proper flushing function. Tested toilet multiple times to verify complete resolution and confirmed fixture operating normally.
Performed preventive maintenance on 9-10 year old central air conditioning system located on ground floor exterior. Upon initial diagnostics, measured 34° superheat indicating low refrigerant charge. Connected manifold gauges and identified system was low on refrigerant, with history of previous refrigerant additions. Located yellow UV dye streak on evaporator coil confirming active refrigerant leak at indoor coil. Attempted refrigerant charge adjustment but encountered challenging conditions with 30 mph winds and 55° ambient temperature affecting microchannel condenser performance. TXV exhibited hunting behavior throughout service, causing subcooling to fluctuate between 4-8° during charging process. Performed condenser coil cleaning, but TXV hunting worsened after washing. Added refrigerant to system but unable to achieve optimal charge due to adverse weather conditions and TXV instability. Conducted thorough leak detection inspection using UV light on evaporator coil and refrigera
Responded to a water leak complaint originating from a tub faucet spraying behind the wall. Accessed the plumbing through an adjacent room opening, where inspection revealed significant water damage to the wooden back panel with extensive dark staining and moisture accumulation, indicating prolonged leakage from the deteriorated tub faucet assembly. The existing two-handle tub faucet without shower capability required replacement. Documented the condition of the plumbing installation, including corroded supply lines and damaged surrounding materials. Provided an estimate for replacing the widespread tub faucet and scheduled a follow-up appointment to present additional options for installing a complete tub and shower surround system with integrated showerhead functionality.
Returned to address misaligned valve handles on a recently installed dual-control outdoor faucet assembly. The hot and cold water handles were positioned at crooked angles when in the closed position due to a factory defect that was not identified during initial installation. Removed mounting screws from both handles and repositioned them to achieve proper alignment, ensuring both valve controls now sit at matching angles when shut off.
Responded to a no-cooling complaint on a 4-year-old Lennox system that was not maintaining desired temperature. Upon inspection, discovered the unit was operating with low refrigerant charge and found hand-tight service caps with oil residue on the suction line, indicating an active leak at that location. Recharged the system to proper levels, added UV dye for future leak detection, and properly torqued all service port caps to manufacturer specifications.
Responded to service call for malfunctioning shower faucet with broken hot/cold control mechanism. Upon inspection, determined that the shower trim and internal valve assembly were both damaged and inoperable. Provided estimate for accessing the valve through wall access opening and installing complete new valve replacement to restore proper shower function.
Responded to service call for residential AC system not maintaining desired temperature setpoint. Upon inspection, discovered minor ice formation on indoor evaporator coil. Switched blower fan to continuous operation mode for approximately 10 minutes to facilitate ice melting and restore proper airflow. After defrost period, tested system operation and confirmed equipment was cooling properly and functioning within normal parameters.
Performed comprehensive air conditioning tune-up on residential Ruud HVAC system with no reported issues. Cleaned outdoor condenser unit and indoor components, inspected all electrical connections and controls, and verified proper refrigerant pressures and temperatures using digital manifold gauges. System tested and confirmed cooling effectively with superheat reading of 33°F and subcooling of 17°F, indicating optimal refrigerant charge and airflow.
Performed preventive maintenance on a 2006 WeatherKing air conditioning system with matching furnace serving an R-22 refrigerant application. Installed new 16x20x1 air filter and cleaned condenser coil. System was operated for approximately 15 minutes and confirmed to be cooling properly with supply air temperature measured at 56°F and return air at 75°F, producing a 19°F temperature split within normal operating range. During inspection, identified that the previously installed condenser fan motor is an aftermarket replacement that appears dimensionally incorrect for this unit. The motor body length causes the fan blade to sit too deep within the shroud, which may restrict condenser airflow and negatively impact head pressure and overall cooling performance. This condition requires verification and possible correction. Outdoor service conditions were compromised by rain and significant ant infestation around the condenser unit, which limited safe access and required intermittent wor
Completed installation of a horizontal dual-handle outdoor faucet with hot and cold water supply lines routed through the kitchen cabinet.
