Responded to service call for reported water leak affecting HVAC system. Upon inspection, identified leaking radiant heat PEX piping in crawlspace dripping onto ductwork below, causing rust and corrosion to metal duct surfaces. Documented conditions with photos showing 1-inch red PEX barrier tubing and affected galvanized ductwork with visible moisture staining and deterioration. Coordinated with plumbing contractor for same-day assessment and repair of leaking radiant heat lines, as leak source determined to be plumbing-related rather than HVAC system failure.

Responded to emergency same-day service call for reported bathtub leak and suspected pipe leaks in crawl space. Performed comprehensive diagnostic inspection of plumbing system, including examination of water supply lines, shut-off valves, and distribution piping mounted on interior wall with PVC and metal pipe connections. Assessed crawl space conditions and inspected exposed piping showing signs of moisture infiltration and potential corrosion on horizontal runs beneath insulation. Documented all findings with photographic evidence of plumbing assembly featuring blue wheel-style shut-off valve, brass fittings, and tagged pipes, as well as crawl space infrastructure including aged metal pipes, wiring, and wooden framing. Coordinated with HVAC technician to determine if crawl space leaks were related to climate control systems versus plumbing supply lines.

Installed Weil McLain CGA5 boiler system with complete piping configuration, including copper supply and return lines, expansion tank, pressure relief components, and associated valves and fittings. Connected unit to existing ductwork and verified all electrical connections, pressure settings, and system operation following water heater installation by plumbing contractor.

Installed a new Bradford White 40-gallon natural gas water heater (Model RG1400T6N) with a slim profile design in the utility area. Connected all required copper supply lines and PVC venting, ensuring proper manifold pressure settings and compliance with Category I Natural Draft specifications per manufacturer requirements and ANRI certification standards.

Responded to no heat call for residential boiler system. Upon arrival, found boiler operational with no trouble found at time of inspection. However, documented extensive corrosion on copper supply piping, T-junction fittings, and associated valves in utility area. Noted significant rust deterioration, black mold growth on concrete block walls, and evidence of moisture intrusion throughout mechanical space. System currently functioning but piping infrastructure shows advanced degradation requiring attention to prevent future failures.

Completed comprehensive BFMA tune-up service on residential Lennox air conditioning system and furnace unit, both 3+ years old. Performed full system diagnostics using clamp meter to verify electrical readings, measured operating amperage at 0.38A with temperature readings at 71.6°F, inspected outdoor condenser unit positioned on concrete pad showing normal weathering, checked all electrical connections and disconnect box, verified proper refrigerant line installation and PVC drainage system functionality, and confirmed both heating and cooling systems operating within manufacturer specifications.

Conducted comprehensive assessment of existing hydronic heating system including aged copper manifold piping with visible oxidation, expansion tank, and associated zone valves. Evaluated ductwork routing through attic space and refrigerant line configuration to determine equipment replacement specifications and system upgrade requirements for boiler replacement estimate.

Responded to no-heat call for residential boiler system. Upon arrival, performed comprehensive diagnostic inspection of heating equipment and associated components. Evaluated boiler unit, examined temperature and pressure gauges, inspected copper supply piping showing advanced corrosion and oxidation, and assessed venting system condition. Checked electrical connections, thermostat operation, and fuel supply. No operational faults were identified during testing, and unit functioned properly upon inspection. Documented equipment age and overall condition through photographic records. Given the visible deterioration of piping components and the age of the existing boiler system, provided client with replacement options and recommendations for upgrading to more efficient equipment to prevent future service issues.

Completed comprehensive BFMA tune-up service including furnace and air conditioning system inspection and maintenance. Inspected evaporator coil with pleated fins, confirmed clean condition and proper airflow, and verified all HVAC components operating within manufacturer specifications.
