Ductwork Services in Olivette, MO

Opened supply valves for bubblers one and three and inspected both nozzle heads for debris or concrete obstruction that had been restricting flow. Following the service, the water feature is operating with all bubbler jets discharging and producing normal aerated flow across the trough.

Responded to a bathtub that was draining slowly and cleared the blockage from the drain line. After removing the stopper and accessing the drain, the obstruction was cleared, and the tub was tested with a full flow of water to confirm proper drainage and no leaks at the drain or overflow.

Responded to a recurring squealing noise complaint on the furnace and inspected the blower compartment and cabinet interior, finding heavy dust and debris buildup along the metal channel seams and a loose strip of duct tape on the cabinet floor, likely contributing to the noise through vibration or air disturbance. Removed the tape and cleared the debris from the cabinet, then verified secure fasteners and wiring harness routing along the panel wall. Recommended further evaluation of the blower motor and bearings if the noise persists, as a permanent fix may require lubrication or component replacement.

Performed a heating tune-up on a Lennox upright gas furnace (installed 2022), including inspection of the gas piping, condensate drain line, venting, and electrical connections. Verified proper furnace operation and confirmed thermostat communication with the Nest smart thermostat for correct heating call and system response.

Replaced the defective control board in the outdoor condenser unit under manufacturer warranty, installing the new Daikin board and applying fresh thermal compound to the power semiconductor components. Reconnected all wiring and connectors, then verified proper unit operation. The failed board was retained per customer request.

Performed annual heating tune-up on a 16-year-old furnace, inspecting the air handler cabinet and filter compartment and verifying the system was operating properly. Found the 14x20x1 return filter last dated 5-21-24 and the filter tray heavily loaded with dust and debris; recommended filter replacement and cleaning of the tray. Inspected the Aprilaire 35 whole-house humidifier and its water supply tubing and valve connections, and noted a possible blown fuse requiring a licensed electrician for further diagnosis.

Performed a seasonal tune-up and maintenance inspection on a 10+ year-old gas furnace. Removed the access panels and inspected the draft inducer assembly, gas valve and wiring, pressure switch and tubing, burner compartment, and control board connections, with no visible signs of rust, breakage, or frost. Accessed the blower compartment, cleaned accumulated dust and debris with a brush, and checked the gas supply piping and fittings, noting only minor surface discoloration and grime.

Performed an on-site electrical evaluation for installation of a customer-supplied Kohler standby generator. Inspected the main breaker panel and adjacent subpanel in the basement, along with existing branch wiring, flexible and rigid conduit runs, and overhead routing paths through the joist space to assess panel capacity, transfer switch placement, and feeder routing. Existing equipment was found in good condition with no visible corrosion or damage, and the findings were used to scope the installation requirements.

Responded to a backed-up basement floor drain isolated to a single fixture. Inspected the drain area and observed heavy black, sludge-like residue and discoloration on the concrete floor surrounding the adjacent water heater, indicating sewage or waste backup. Cleared the blockage in the floor drain line to restore proper drainage, and documented the affected area with photos.

Performed seasonal heating maintenance on a Lennox gas furnace, removing the front access panel to inspect the burner compartment, blower motor, wiring connections, gas piping and shutoff valve, flue assembly, and condensate drain line. Verified system operation with a clamp meter and replaced the air filter, with the unit left operating properly.

Responded to a no-heat call on a single unit reported as not turning on and performed a system evaluation. Inspected the mechanical area and the installed bypass-style whole-house humidifier, which was found clean and intact with no visible damage, rust, or frost, and the damper set to the winter (open) position. Confirmed the humidifier is not the cause of the reported concern; further diagnosis of the furnace and its controls is needed to restore heat.

Responded to a mini split in the bedroom reported as not heating or cooling, with only the indoor fan operating. Inspected the outdoor unit's electrical compartment and found the control board with brownish scorch-like residue and heat discoloration around the connector base and electrolytic capacitors, indicating probable heat damage or contamination. The contactor, wiring, and terminal connections appeared intact, so the outdoor control board is the likely cause of the compressor and system failure.

Performed a water test on the fountain supply system, inspecting the exposed valve box, riser, and PVC supply and conduit lines at the excavated site to verify proper operation. Confirmed fittings and piping were intact and the system was ready for continued fountain installation.

Performed a seasonal tune-up on an 11-year-old furnace, inspecting the control board, wiring harness, flue connection, and venting for proper operation and safe connections. Noted heavy rust and corrosion on the lower cabinet panel and blower compartment guard, along with dust and debris buildup on the plenum and surrounding components, and recommended monitoring the corrosion for possible moisture or condensation issues.

Installed a new 50-gallon Ruud Professional Grade gas water heater (Model RUGPRO50D-ePb) in accordance with permit #26PLU-20082. Applied required plumbing identification sticker to the unit and ensured all manufacturer safety labels were properly visible and intact. Installation completed to code specifications with all gas connections, venting, and water supply lines properly configured for safe operation.

Completed comprehensive heating tune-up and safety inspection on two 9-year-old furnace units located in basement mechanical room. Performed full system diagnostics, cleaned burner assemblies, inspected heat exchangers for cracks, tested all safety controls and limit switches, checked gas pressure and combustion efficiency, lubricated blower motors, replaced air filters, and verified proper venting and airflow on both units to ensure optimal performance for the heating season.

Completed comprehensive heating tune-up maintenance on two furnace units located in basement and attic. Performed full system diagnostics including amperage draw testing with clamp meter showing 32 amps, replaced air filter with new pleated media filter, inspected all mechanical components, verified proper electrical connections, and tested system operation. Both units are functioning within normal operating parameters following preventative maintenance service.

Completed comprehensive heating tune-up on 10-year-old furnace unit located in basement. Performed full system inspection including burner assembly, heat exchanger, blower motor, and gas connections. Inspected and documented air filter condition and control board wiring connections. Tested all safety controls, verified proper gas valve operation, checked flue draft, and confirmed system cycling. All components found operating within manufacturer specifications with no immediate repairs required.

Responded to service call for condensation issues on attic ductwork causing water damage and mold growth on interior ceiling. Inspected HVAC system including 8-year-old Lennox unit and attic ductwork installation. Found inadequate insulation on flexible ductwork allowing warm, humid attic air to contact cold supply ducts, resulting in excessive condensation formation. Condensation was dripping through ceiling penetrations at supply register, creating visible water stains, ceiling texture damage, and mold development. Assessed ductwork insulation levels and vapor barrier integrity throughout accessible attic areas. Documented existing damage to ceiling around supply vent showing cracking and deterioration from prolonged moisture exposure. Recommended proper duct insulation upgrade with vapor barrier to eliminate condensation, professional mold remediation for affected ceiling areas, and ceiling repair to restore structural integrity and appearance.

Replaced defective blower motor on HVAC unit serial number 1725F03603 under full warranty coverage. Completed system maintenance and verified proper operation of all components. Removed and disposed of failed blower motor per standard procedures.
