Performed heating tune-up on two 17-year-old Lennox gas furnaces. Inspected and replaced heavily loaded pleated air filters, and checked the burner compartments, where I found significant rust and corrosion on the burner tube ends and scale debris on the compartment floor and insulation block. Systems were operational at arrival; recommend further evaluation of burner and heat exchanger condition due to the corrosion observed.

Performed a heating tune-up on the 9-year-old furnace, including inspection and servicing of the unit and associated components. Inspected the Aprilaire 600 Series whole-home humidifier and found the water supply line and valve intact with no visible damage, rust, or leaks. Removed and replaced the dirty, stained humidifier drain tubing and fitting.

Responded to a no-heat call on a basement gas furnace where the blower operated but no heat was produced. Inspected the burner assembly, gas valve, and inducer motor and found the components dusty with normal wear, and no signs of frost, heavy rust, or breakage. Verified the gas valve wiring and connections and documented the unit's condition for further diagnosis of the heat failure.

Performed a heating tune-up on a 6-year-old furnace, including inspection of the electrical compartment and measurement of component amperage draw with a clamp meter (1.39A reading). Removed and inspected the return air filter, which was heavily loaded with dust and debris, and noted it requires replacement to restore proper airflow and system efficiency.

Responded to a no-heat call on a 10+ year old basement furnace that was failing to ignite and found the inducer/draft motor and surrounding cabinet components heavily corroded, with rust and mineral buildup on the motor housing, mounting brackets, and the flue/vent assembly. The corrosion is consistent with moisture exposure and condensate intrusion and is preventing proper ignition sequence operation. Documented all conditions with photos and advised on the unit's condition and recommended repair or replacement options.

Performed a furnace tune-up on one unit, including inspection of the system, flue piping, and ductwork connections, which showed no rust, damage, or leakage. Removed the heavily soiled 20x25x4 pleated air filter and replaced it to restore proper airflow, and cleared the removed filter and debris from the work area.

Troubleshot a recurring breaker trip on the AC circuit by inspecting the commercial distribution panel and measuring circuit current with a clamp meter, which read 1.7 amps AC under the load tested. Upon removing the breakers, found discoloration and sooty residue on the breaker stab clips and housings, indicating heat-related deterioration at the connection points. Documented the condition of the panel components and breaker connections as the likely cause of the intermittent tripping.

Performed a heating tune-up on one gas furnace, removing the access panel to inspect the burner compartment, gas valve assembly, and wiring connections. Cleaned and serviced the flame sensor and ignition components, and verified proper furnace operation.

Performed comprehensive seasonal tune-up on 12-year-old Bryant gas furnace with no reported operational issues. Conducted complete system inspection including burner assembly operation, heat exchanger examination, gas valve functionality, blower motor performance, electrical connections, and all safety controls. Verified proper flame characteristics, tested temperature rise across heat exchanger, and confirmed all components operating within manufacturer specifications for continued reliable heating performance.

Completed comprehensive heating tune-up on two furnace units located in basement and attic during morning service window. Performed full system diagnostics on both units including inspection of gas valve assemblies, blower motors, electrical connections, and control boards. Verified proper thermostat operation and temperature calibration on smart thermostat system displaying heat settings. All components found operational with no immediate repairs required at this time.

# HVAC Service - Tune Up U10 - Heating Completed comprehensive heating tune-up on furnace unit located in utility closet. Performed full system inspection including internal components, electrical connections, blower motor assembly, and control board functionality. Verified thermostat operation displaying 74°F and confirmed proper communication between thermostat and heating system. All wire connections, relays, and contactors inspected and found secure with no visible wear or damage. Blower motor and wheel examined for proper operation and clearances. System tested and operating within normal parameters with no issues identified.

Completed scheduled heating maintenance tune-up on 7-year-old Heil system. Performed comprehensive inspection of all heating components, verified thermostat operation and calibration, and inspected air filter condition. System tested and confirmed operating properly with all safety controls functioning as designed.

Completed comprehensive preventive maintenance tune-up service on six HVAC units consisting of three air conditioning systems and three furnace units, all under ten years old. Performed standard inspection protocols including electrical measurements with clamp meter, verified amp draws on all units, inspected ductwork connections, checked refrigerant levels on AC units, examined heat exchangers, tested safety controls, and evaluated overall system performance. All units were found to be operating within manufacturer specifications with no immediate repairs required at time of service.

Responded to no-power call affecting living room lighting and patio light on one circuit. Performed diagnostic testing to identify circuit fault causing power loss to multiple fixtures on same branch circuit. Inspected electrical panel and traced affected circuit. Replaced damaged outlet faceplates on three outlets as requested. Discussed pending ceiling fan installation in bedroom and smart thermostat upgrade options for future service.

# HVAC Service Completed Responded to no cooling call for 10+ year old residential unit located on side of home. Upon arrival, performed system diagnostics and inspection of both indoor and outdoor components. Accessed attic space to examine air handler and ductwork connections. Found system had stopped operating due to equipment failure. Inspected flexible ductwork, PVC condensate drain line, and electrical connections in confined attic space.

Tested electrical connections and verified proper voltage at equipment. Inspected condensate pump operation and drainage system functionality, including all piping and fittings. Documented existing conditions with photos showing HVAC components, ductwork configuration, and mechanical equipment layout. System restored to proper cooling operation following diagno

Responded to service call regarding improper flue pipe penetration through wall requiring clearance correction. Upon inspection, identified metal flue pipe penetrating through wall surface with inadequate clearance and significant rust staining indicating long-term corrosion and moisture exposure. Flue pipe lacked proper thimble installation to maintain required clearance from combustible materials per code requirements. Documented existing conditions showing corroded pipe threading, deteriorated wall penetration, and improper installation that poses potential safety hazard. Provided quote for installation of raised thimble assembly to establish proper clearance between flue pipe and surrounding combustible wall materials, ensuring code-compliant installation for real estate transaction requirements.
