Plumbing, Furnace, & Air Conditioning Services in Ballwin, MO

Performed a heating tune-up on a single furnace, inspecting the heat exchanger and related components. Observed dusty, discolored coil surfaces with no breakage or frost, and noted corrosion and white mineral residue on a flue/venting pipe seam, which should be monitored or addressed to prevent further deterioration.

Responded to a no-cool call on a 9-year-old outdoor central AC system that was completely non-functional. Ongoing basement construction was noted at the property, and photos documented exposed framing with moisture staining on a joist and loose, frayed low-voltage wiring in the work area, which may contribute to the loss of system operation. Recommended further diagnostics on the control wiring and a review of the affected area once construction is complete.

Performed a heating tune-up on the furnace, including inspection of the unit and electrical components with a clamp meter to verify proper operation. Replaced the return air filter with a new 20x25x1 pleated filter, ensuring correct airflow direction and a proper fit in the filter housing.

Performed an electrical inspection of the residence, including a visual examination of a double-gang switch assembly and a kitchen backsplash duplex receptacle. The two Leviton toggle switches were found mounted in a ragged, oversized drywall opening with paint and joint compound buildup on the mounting straps and no cover plate installed, while the kitchen receptacle showed no signs of damage, overheating, or abnormal conditions under normal appliance loading. The switch cutout is recommended for drywall repair and installation of a cover plate to ensure proper protection and code-compliant finish.

Responded to a no-heat complaint on a radiant floor system and inspected the boiler, circulator pump, flue venting, and associated piping and electrical connections in the mechanical area. Documented corrosion, staining, and weathering on the boiler cabinet and flue components, along with aged circulator piping, and evaluated system operation to diagnose why the radiant loop was not delivering heat to the floors.

Performed a preventive maintenance tune-up on a Lennox gas furnace, including inspection of the burner assembly, flue pipe, gas line and shutoff valve, electrical connections, and condensate/drain components. Inspected and serviced the pleated return air filter, which showed dust loading, and confirmed proper airflow and system operation.

Performed a heating tune-up on a gas furnace, inspecting the inducer motor, pressure switch and tubing, gas valve, burner assembly, flue connection, and wiring harnesses. Noted light discoloration and rust staining around the inducer motor housing for monitoring. Inspected the 20x25x1 pleated return air filter, which showed dust loading, and verified the system was operating properly at completion.

Inspected the 2-year-old A/C system in response to reported mold and moisture damage, and examined the exposed ceiling cavity where the supply ductwork and condensate drain piping run. Observed dark mold-like staining and moisture damage on the ceiling drywall directly beneath the galvanized duct and condensate drain line penetration, with torn duct wrap and disturbed insulation and patching at the opening. Documented the affected areas with photos and identified the condensate drain and duct insulation/penetration area as the probable moisture source.

Responded to a no-heat call on a Buderus GC1444II radiant heat boiler (approx. 7 years old) that was cycling on but not delivering heat to the home. Inspected the boiler, circulator, expansion tank, flue venting, and associated copper piping, noting minor oxidation on the vertical copper line but no signs of leaks or major damage. Evaluated system operation in the context of prior circulator pump replacement and boiler service history to diagnose the lack of heat.

Installed a new 40-gallon tall gas tanked water heater, connecting copper hot and cold supply lines with brass fittings and a galvanized flue with proper elbow and upward pitch to the existing vent. Existing expansion tank and overhead supply piping were reconnected, and the installation was completed in accordance with municipal permit requirements.

Responded to a no-heat call on a 10+ year-old basement furnace that would not start. Inspected the flue/vent piping and found corrosion along the seam and collar, with rust streaking and a possible hairline crack that could compromise safe venting. Also noted heavy dust and grime buildup around the unit's housing and penetration, and documented both conditions with photos for repair evaluation.

Performed a seasonal tune-up on a Trane gas furnace, including inspection of the cabinet, flue venting, and control board operation. Took electrical measurements with a clamp meter to verify proper component amperage draw and confirm the unit was operating within normal parameters, with no signs of rust, frost, or visible damage noted.

Responded to a no-heat call on a single furnace reporting an igniter-related error code. Inspected the burner assembly and gas valve area, where the igniter was glowing and the burners were energizing, then checked the integrated control board, its wiring harness, and splice connections, which showed cluttered wiring and wire-nut splices. Verified igniter and ignition-sequence operation and confirmed the furnace was cycling and producing heat at completion.

Responded to a no-heat call with no blower operation on a 15-year-old gas furnace and removed the access panel to perform electrical diagnostics on the control circuit, draft inducer assembly, and low-voltage wiring using a multimeter and clamp meter. Verified the thermostat display was blank, indicating a loss of low-voltage power to the control system, and traced the circuit to isolate the cause of the lack of heating and airflow demand.

Performed a comprehensive Supertune maintenance service on two gas furnace systems under 10 years old, including inspection and replacement of the air filters, evaluation of the burner assembly and manifold, and verification of proper flame characteristics with stable blue flames across all burner tubes. Inspected the gas valve, control wiring, and electrical connections, noting worn wiring insulation and secured harnesses, and checked interior cabinet surfaces for dust buildup, corrosion, and cabinet panel paint deterioration. Systems tested for proper operation with combustion and performance readings taken using test instruments.

Installed a new porch light fixture at the entry, including mounting, wiring connections, and verification of proper operation. Confirmed the supply at the exterior service entrance, and tested the fixture after installation to ensure safe and reliable function.

Responded to a no-heat call on two Lennox gas furnaces (approximately 8 years old) and inspected the burner assembly, flame sensor, pressure switch, gas valve, and associated wiring in the affected unit. Evaluated ignition and safety circuit components to diagnose the cause of the failure to call for and sustain heat, and documented findings with photos. The photos show no identifiable repair performed, so the specific corrective action should be confirmed by the technician before this record is finalized.

Diagnosed a Lennox furnace no-heat condition with a recurring E223 fault code (pressure switch/draft-related lockout). Inspected the flue collar and vent connection and found heavy corrosion and rust pitting at the collar, with sooty debris and a deteriorated baffle bracket inside the opening, indicating restricted or compromised venting. Removed and inspected the flame sensor/ignition probe, cleaned and serviced the components, and reassembled the unit for further testing, with the corroded flue collar recommended for repair or replacement to restore safe, proper draft.

Performed heating tune-ups on two 13-year-old systems, each with a 12-5 PFCC configuration and no accessories installed. Verified thermostat operation at both control points (Aprilaire digital and White Rodgers digital) and confirmed proper heat call and system response.

Responded to a no-cool call with the unit short cycling and failing to reach setpoint. Thermostat notification history showed repeated indoor unit blower motor faults and an unresponsive device alert on the furnace, indicating an air handler blower motor/communication issue causing the system to cycle prematurely. Documented the fault log with photos for warranty review under the unit's parts and labor coverage.
