Plumbing & HVAC in Florissant, MO

Performed a heating tune-up on a 6-year-old Lennox gas furnace, including removal of the access panel and inspection of the induced-draft blower motor, pressure switch and hose, gas valve, burner box, and associated wiring. Verified electrical operation by measuring component amperage with a clamp meter and confirmed the unit was operating within normal parameters, with no issues requiring repair.

Performed a seasonal tune-up on a Goodman gas furnace, inspecting the unit, flue venting, gas supply line, and refrigerant line connections for signs of leaks, corrosion, or damage, with none found. Replaced the air filter with a new 16x20x1 MERV 11 pleated filter to restore proper airflow and system efficiency. Unit was left operating normally.

Performed a routine heating system tune-up and inspection on a 20-year-old furnace, with no repair issues reported. Inspected the flue/vent piping and internal heat exchanger and burner-area components, noting minor rust and oxidation on the corrugated vent connector and surrounding metal tubing; no failures were observed at the time of service. Recommend continued monitoring of the aging equipment and periodic professional maintenance.

Evaluated the exterior and interior installation areas for a proposed Blink floodlight and camera install, assessing power sources and routing paths. Noted corrosion and paint deterioration on the exterior service meter enclosure and conduit, along with a loose green wire at the meter base, which should be addressed before any new fixtures are connected. Reviewed the interior garage's exposed rafters and existing cable runs for potential wiring access and prepared the scope for the fixture installation.

Performed a heating tune-up on a Trane gas furnace over 10 years old, inspecting the cabinet, flue vent, and condensate drain line, with no frost, ice, or visible rust on the exterior. Inspected the filter compartment and found an FPR 5 pleated filter dusty and improperly seated at an angle, with light surface rust on the lower filter slot ledge and dust buildup throughout the compartment. Recommended replacing the filter and seating it flat in the correct airflow direction to maintain proper airflow and system efficiency.

Performed a seasonal tune-up on a single gas furnace, inspecting the burner assembly, gas valve, inducer motor, pressure switch, and control board wiring. Noted dust and debris buildup in the lower compartment, loosely routed control wiring, and surface corrosion on the gas piping near the valve. The pleated air filter was found heavily loaded with dust and debris and is due for replacement.

Performed a seasonal heating tune-up on one gas furnace, inspecting the cabinet interior, flue connection, burner compartment wiring, and internal components. The galvanized flue pipe was found securely fastened at the top deck with no separation or corrosion, though dust and paint-like residue were noted on the deck surfaces. Inspected the pleated air filter, which showed moderate particulate loading, and recommended regular filter replacement to maintain proper airflow and system efficiency.

Performed a preventative heating maintenance tune-up on a Carrier gas furnace installed horizontally in the attic, inspecting the cabinet, flue venting, gas piping, condensate drain line, and electrical connections, and verifying proper operation through the Carrier Infinity Touch thermostat in heat mode. The system was operating normally with no visible damage, corrosion, or unusual conditions noted.

Performed a cooling maintenance tune-up on a 15-year-old AC system, inspecting the air handler and outdoor condenser and verifying proper operation. Found the condenser coil heavily matted with lint, fibers, and debris, and the grille panel caked with mud and dust; the air handler cabinet showed heavy dust accumulation on the control board, wiring, and components, with aged wire insulation noted near the left harness. Recommended a coil cleaning, as previously advised, to restore airflow and heat transfer efficiency.

Performed heating tune-up and inspection on two furnaces, including a borescope inspection of the interior heat exchanger and cabinet areas to evaluate internal condition and component integrity. Documented findings with inspection camera imagery and verified both units were evaluated for proper operation.

Tightened loose receptacle connections and device mounting throughout the garage to restore secure, reliable operation. Installed an additional ceiling-mounted light fixture alongside the existing fixture, including wiring, mounting, and functional testing. Verified proper operation of all fixtures and receptacles, and inspected the service entrance equipment and main breaker panel, which appeared intact with no visible damage or hazards.

Technician arrived within the scheduled window to diagnose a reported loud furnace operation and high indoor humidity (muggy conditions) on a basement-installed unit. Despite the customer's request for advance notice, no one was available to grant access, so the diagnostic could not be performed. A "Sorry We Missed You" door hanger was left on the entry door with contact information to reschedule the service visit.

Performed a heating tune-up on one furnace, inspecting the air handler cabinet, blower assembly, and electrical wiring and controls. The blower wheel and housing showed heavy dust and debris buildup along the blades and motor rim, which was documented with photos and addressed as part of the cleaning and inspection. System was left in operational condition following the tune-up.

Performed a heating tune-up on one gas furnace (under 10 years old), removing the access panel to inspect the burner assembly, gas valve, inducer motor, pressure switch, and control board wiring. Inspected and serviced the condensate drain line and clamped connections at the floor drain, and noted dust and soot buildup in the lower cabinet along with loosely bundled control wiring.

Performed a heating tune-up on a furnace under 10 years old, inspecting the cabinet, wiring, and thermostat and verifying the unit was operating properly. Inspected the pleated air filter, which was found clean with no heavy debris or discoloration and in serviceable condition.

Replaced three defective lamp sockets, including the stained, heat-damaged kitchen ceiling fixture, and installed a customer-supplied light fixture. Replaced the bathroom exhaust fan and repaired the exterior electrical loop pole, verifying all connections and operation upon completion.

Responded to a no-heat callback on an 8-year-old furnace following a recent tune-up. Inspected the control board and low-voltage thermostat wiring at the terminal block (R, W, G, Y, C), and secured and verified the connections to restore proper call-for-heat signaling. Tested the system through a full heating cycle and confirmed normal operation.

Responded to a no-heat call on the downstairs furnace that was failing to fire. Performed electrical diagnostics with a true RMS clamp meter, verifying incoming line voltage of approximately 122 VAC at the unit and measuring a secondary reading of 27.5 VAC to evaluate control/low-voltage circuit performance. Testing was conducted to isolate the cause of the ignition failure.

Responded to a no-cool call and inspected the 2-year-old air handler, finding the evaporator coil heavily frosted with thick ice buildup covering the fins and exposed copper tubing, consistent with a refrigerant leak previously identified by the warranty company. Documented the iced coil and unit condition with photos to support a manufacturer warranty claim for coil replacement.

Responded to a no-cool complaint on a single 3-year-old split system, with the outdoor condenser inspected at ground level. Found the refrigerant line set and service valves showing tarnish and discoloration, with a greenish-brown residue at the suction line joint and worn, weathered insulation, indicating a possible refrigerant leak at the connection and contributing to the reduced cooling capacity. Documented the condition of the service valves, ports, and line set insulation, and the unit's placement on uneven ground with vegetation encroaching on the condenser.
