Performed comprehensive inspections including filter replacement, coil cleaning, refrigerant level verification, electrical connection testing, and thermostat calibration on both systems to ensure optimal performance for the cooling season.

Responded to basement flooding concern to inspect boiler and furnace for water damage and operational safety. Conducted thorough visual inspection of HVAC ductwork system, examining sheet metal ducts, connections, and surrounding mechanical space for signs of water intrusion, moisture damage, or compromised components. Inspected interior duct surfaces for water staining, residue accumulation, and structural integrity. All equipment found to be functioning properly with no immediate safety concerns identified following the flooding incident.

Completed preventive maintenance tune-up on a 9-year-old residential air conditioning unit. Performed comprehensive system inspection, verified unit model CMR38642BCB05 operating specifications at 208V/60/3, checked refrigerant pressures, cleaned condenser coils, and documented equipment condition with photos. All components found operating within normal parameters.

Completed callback for gaps around refrigerant lines entering structure. Inspected exterior and interior penetration points where linesets pass through wall from outdoor unit. Found inadequate sealing at wall penetration allowing air infiltration. Applied appropriate sealant and insulation materials to close gaps around both suction and liquid lines at entry point, ensuring proper weatherproofing and energy efficiency for 10-year-old system.

Completed comprehensive cooling maintenance on a 9-year-old air conditioning system. Performed standard tune-up procedures including inspection of refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and condenser coil cleaning. System tested and confirmed operational with all components functioning within normal parameters.

Installed 50-gallon gas short water heater in basement utility area, securing unit on cinder blocks for proper elevation and clearance.
