Replaced the 20x20x2 air filter and verified system operation.

Replaced an existing 80-gallon electric water heater with a new 80-gallon Ruud electric unit, reconnecting hot and cold supply lines with brass fittings, isolation ball valve, and insulated PEX, and installing an expansion tank to protect the system from thermal expansion. Installed a new hose bib by cutting into the ceiling and core drilling through the foundation, then patched the affected drywall.

Replaced a failed 50-gallon electric tank water heater (approximately 16+ years old, with a corroded lower heating element that tripped the circuit breaker) and the associated shut-off valve. Installed a new Bradford White electric unit in the closet, connected it to the existing copper supply lines with soldered fittings and brass valves, and reconnected the electrical supply through the wall-mounted disconnect via flexible conduit. Restored hot water service and verified proper operation with no leaks.

Responded to a callback for a recurring drip leak beneath the lavatory following a previous equipment replacement. Inspected the faucet assembly, supply connections, and drain components, including the overflow, to identify the source of the leak. Corrected the leak at the affected connection and verified a dry, watertight system under normal operating conditions.

Responded to a return call for a persistent electrical odor from the steam humidifier while the unit was powered off. Per the manufacturer safety recall bulletin, replaced the original "D"-shaped electrode with the updated "O"-shaped electrode and documented the removed cut electrode wires. During inspection, noted heat-damaged, discolored wire insulation with residue and soot buildup near the circuit breaker and wiring in the electrical cabinet, and recommend further evaluation of the affected conductors and connections.

Performed annual AC tune-up on the Bryant split system, including inspection of the outdoor condensing unit and evaporator coil, and verified proper operation. Inspected the crawlspace furnace and AC coil assembly for drywall dust intrusion per customer concern, and examined the burner assembly, igniter, and wiring, which showed normal flame presentation with light soot discoloration on some burner openings. Confirmed the customer-supplied 14x30x1 floor filter was in place and the system was functioning normally at completion.

Inspected the humidifier system in response to a reported burnt water odor and suspected non-operation following a recent canister replacement. Opened the control cabinet and examined the control board, current sensor (208/240V), and wiring connections, finding no visible damage, burn marks, or corrosion. Diagnosed the issue as likely related to water quality and hard water scale buildup affecting canister performance, and advised that the manufacturer does not warranty the canister under these conditions.

Inspected the 1st floor system ductwork and air handler for the source of a reported rancid odor. Found no evidence of a critter in the accessible supply duct, but the evaporator coil cabinet showed corrosion along the coil base and drain pan edge, dark staining on the coil fins, and dust and possible microbial growth on the insulated surfaces, indicating moisture-related contamination as the likely cause. Recommend coil and drain pan cleaning with condensate drain evaluation to restore indoor air quality.

Performed seasonal preventive maintenance on an approximately 8-year-old heat pump system, including inspection of the air handler and outdoor condenser. Verified electrical operation with a clamp meter, checked control wiring and connections, and confirmed the condenser is properly situated on its pad with clear surrounding airflow. System was found in good condition with no visible damage, corrosion, or frost, and filters will be supplied by the customer.

Removed and disposed of the existing water heater and installed a new Rheem 50-gallon tall gas water heater, reconnecting it to the existing water piping with new piping and fittings and to the existing gas and electrical connections. The installation was completed under permit with the required plumbing inspection, and the unit is backed by a 6-year tank warranty, 6-year parts warranty, and 1-year labor warranty.

Inspected and photo-documented the existing gas-fired Whirlpool tank-style water heater, installed in a metal drain pan with vent piping, copper supply lines, and gas connection in good condition and showing no signs of leaks, rust, or damage. Assessed the installation for a conversion to a tankless unit, noting that the existing tank size was unverified, and prepared the findings for a replacement estimate.

Responded to a no-cool call on an 8-9 year old electric heat pump system with the indoor blower operating and the outdoor unit not running, delivering room-temperature air. Connected a digital refrigerant manifold and vacuum gauge (R454B) to evaluate system pressures and operating conditions, with readings showing approximately 145 psi and 87°F alongside negative pressure readings consistent with a depleted or severely low refrigerant charge. Findings were documented with photos to support further diagnosis and repair recommendations.

Performed an on-site electrical estimate for a standby generator installation, including measuring the proposed generator placement area outdoors to verify clearances and equipment pad location. Inspected the existing main electrical panel, confirming a clean, undamaged enclosure with a main breaker and branch circuits, and assessed its suitability for transfer switch integration and generator connection.
