Hurlburt Heating & Plumbing has completed 20 jobs in Altoona, WI in August 2026.
The most recent job was on August 31, 2026.
Completed routine furnace tune-up and maintenance inspection as part of recurring heating system agreement. Performed comprehensive electrical testing with all readings confirming within manufacturer specifications. Cleaned flame sensor, verified all hoses and venting were clear and unobstructed, and replaced air filter with customer-supplied unit. System operating properly with no issues identified.
Performed follow-up inspection on R-410A residential air conditioning system with TXV that was previously found frozen and severely starved of refrigerant. Allowed unit adequate time to defrost from previous service call. Conducted diagnostic evaluation using UV leak detection equipment to identify source of refrigerant loss. System had previously exhibited critically high superheat of 56.4°F and negative subcooling of -0.7°F, indicating evaporator was not receiving proper liquid refrigerant flow. Investigated potential causes including refrigerant leak and liquid line restriction, particularly filter-drier obstruction. Documented equipment conditions with photographic evidence showing refrigerant lines, connections, and system components for further analysis and repair planning.
Performed comprehensive air conditioning maintenance on front residential unit. Equipment had not been serviced since installation three years prior, resulting in completely plugged condenser coil that was restricting airflow and reducing system efficiency. Thoroughly washed condenser coil to remove accumulated dirt, debris, and organic matter. Inspected and verified operation of all system components including compressor, fan motor, capacitor, and refrigerant lines. Customer enrolled in maintenance membership program for ongoing preventive care.
Performed scheduled maintenance visit on Lennox furnace and discovered water dripping from beneath the evaporator pan onto the floor around the condensate pump. Tested condensate pump with 20 oz of water; pump operated normally with proper discharge to wash basin, eliminating pump as source of water issue. Diagnosed water source as A/C evaporator coil, which was found partially frozen and causing condensate overflow at coil section. Connected diagnostic probes and obtained preliminary refrigeration readings on R-410A TXV system while coil remained partially iced. Measured suction pressure 103.6 psig, liquid pressure 232.8 psig, evaporator saturation temperature 33.1°F, condensing saturation temperature 78.9°F, suction line temperature 63.4°F, and liquid line temperature 79.0°F. Calculated superheat at 30.3°F and subcooling at 0.6°F, significantly below rated 10°F subcool target. Readings indicate starved evaporator condition and strongly suggest system is low on refrigerant charge.
Completed comprehensive furnace maintenance and tune-up under membership agreement. Performed thorough system inspection including cleaning of flame sensor, verification of condensate drainage, and confirmation that pressure switch hoses were clear and functioning properly. Inspected air filter and blower wheel, both found to be in clean condition. Conducted electrical component testing with all readings within manufacturer specifications. System startup test confirmed proper heating operation with 60-degree temperature rise across heat exchanger, indicating optimal furnace performance.
Responded to emergency call for non-functional toilet with active leak. Upon inspection, identified severely corroded cast iron flange as primary failure point, with deteriorated wax ring contributing to water intrusion. Removed existing toilet and assessed subfloor damage around drain opening. Extracted compromised cast iron flange showing extensive rust and structural degradation. Prepared drain opening and installed new toilet flange assembly with proper sealing. Installed new wax ring and reset toilet with new closet bolts, ensuring proper seal and stable mounting. Tested system for leaks and verified proper flush operation before returning unit to service.
Responded to a leaking water heater emergency and discovered the 25-year-old unit (installed in 1998) had reached end of service life with active leaks present from pipes above the heater and potentially from the tank itself. Upon inspection, confirmed the overhead plumbing required repair prior to water heater replacement, and submitted recommendation for complete water repipe before proceeding with new unit installation.
Completed comprehensive AC and furnace tune-up on Bryant system. Performed electrical testing on both indoor and outdoor components with all readings within manufacturer specifications. Washed outdoor condenser unit, cleaned flame sensor, verified all hoses were clear of obstructions, and successfully test-ran both heating and cooling systems to confirm proper operation.
Responded to emergency dispatch for leaking ball valve and investigated multiple active leaks throughout the building's plumbing system. Upon inspection, identified several failure points including compromised CPVC fittings, leaking brass ball valves, and defective PEX adapters showing signs of moisture intrusion. Documented all leak locations with photographic evidence showing affected copper piping, gas line connections, and various plumbing components in mechanical spaces. Coordinated with supervisor to prepare comprehensive repair estimate addressing all identified leak points requiring replacement and remediation.
Responded to emergency service call requiring city water shutoff at 8:30am to address failing main water service valve up to 1" before meter. Upon inspection, found severely deteriorated water heater with extensive rust and corrosion on both the unit and primary shutoff valve, indicating age-related failure and potential safety hazards. Performed comprehensive plumbing system upgrade including complete water heater replacement. Installed new main service valves both before and after the water meter to ensure proper isolation capability for future maintenance. Replaced failed backyard hose spigot to restore exterior water access. Completed interior fixture repairs by installing new angle stop valve and fill valve assembly under downstairs toilet to eliminate leaks and ensure proper operation. All copper piping connections secured with appropriate fittings and transitions. System tested for leaks and proper water pressure upon restoration of service. Work completed in crawl space and u

Upon assessment, confirmed active leak from defective side-mounted fitting on softener tank that was causing condensation and mold development. Replaced faulty fitting to resolve leak and restore proper system operation.
Completed annual AC tune-up with no issues found on cooling system. Performed preventive maintenance inspection on 1994 Lennox Pulse furnace and conducted pressure test, which revealed a loss of approximately 1.5 PSI over 10 minutes, indicating a heat exchanger leak. Identified green corrosion on secondary heat exchanger and demonstrated findings to homeowner. Due to failed pressure test and visible deterioration, furnace was red-tagged and taken out of service for safety reasons. Coordinated follow-up appointment for equipment replacement consultation.
Responded to water leak emergency where sink shut-off valve was inoperative and main water line shut-off valve had failed. Upon assessment, determined that the main valve required municipal water shut-off to safely complete repairs. Coordinated with city utility department to shut off water supply at the meter.
