Perform two system home care. Resealed furnace base. Re-insulated main trunk line. Mount to condenser to the pad. Adjust gas pressures to 2.0 and 3.5 sealed edges of doghouse cover with weatherproof silicone. Swapped out oversize breaker for AC condenser unit. Found biological growth on the mini split head. Clean filters and wiped off blades with Clorox wipes as a courtesy. Recommended a deep cleaning of the mini split head, also a UV light. I explained to the homeowner this is not a guarantee that it will not come back. Growth is likely stemming from high humidity plus not having the filters cleaned enough. Homeowner signed up for the home care as this was the last of his two visits.

Service visit on Generac home standby generator

Install new outlet for cabinets

Customer called us out for three slow draining toilets. On arrival customer told me the entryway and master toilets were clogging about once a month. The other toilet was slow but hardly used. I tested the toilets and the flush was slower. I gave the customer multiple options and they wanted to see if it could be improved by using a closet auger. I ran the auger down the line but was unable to make any significant change in the flushing. Checked the venting in the attic and did not notice any issues. The third toilet flushes the same. I recommend replacing the toilets with a better quality one. Water heater and water pressure were good.

Today we performed a directional bore from water meter to foundation to depth of no less than 18" up to 100ft. Installed HDPE water service line in bore and connect at both ends. Ran an 2 inch protective sleeve on both ends to protect the pipe, installed appropriate fittings at foundation tailout. If foundation penetration point is damaged, run new section of service line through foundation wall and protect. Seal interior and exterior penetration points with hydraulic cement and tar. Test new line for leaks prior to backfilling and start/end/sight holes to rough grade. Clean work area. Utilities will be marked prior to work. No utilities were harmed during today’s visit.

Removed tub spout in guest bath and installed new spout. Found master shower was dripping and replaced the cartridge. Tested pressure and turned pressure up to a safe range for customer

no findings, customer just had some concerns about his wiring in a light fixture box he wanted me to inspect. So I inspected the wiring in both light fixture boxes in the garage and opened up the switch box and main panel as well. Turns out they pulled a 14/3 and used the red as the switch leg and the black as a constant hot for some garage outlets so when he replaced the light fixtures he just had the switch turned off and thought all wires were completely dead and he got shocked from that constant hot bundle and didn’t know what happened and wanted us to come out and inspect.

Install outlets

Came out today for a leaking basement toilet at a rental property. The tenant reported water leaking from the sides of the toilet when flushed. I flushed the toilet several times and confirmed water was leaking from the base. After removing the bolt caps, I found that the mounting bolts were badly corroded. I explained that the flange might also be damaged. With the tenant’s approval, I removed the toilet and confirmed the flange was broken. I reviewed the findings with the tenant, who approved the flange repair and toilet reset. I showed the tenant the new flange before completing the installation. After resetting the toilet, I flushed it several times and verified there were no leaks. I then caulked around the base of the bowl. The toilet was operating properly at the time of service.

For this job, I worked on installing surge protection for whole home along with electrical inspection of home

Electrical troubleshooting.

The homeowner has a GFCI in the laundry room that the wire goes to first before it hits the washer outlet. the homeowner just got a new washer that is tripping the GFCI in the laundry room so this option is to swap it for a high frequency GFCI, and change the breaker to an safety breaker to mitigate the tripping. I ended up putting it on a dual function breaker because I did not have any arc faults. It will do the same thing, but it’ll just me and the GFI protection on the breaker is redundant.

For this job, I installed a new 50 gallon gas water heater. This water heater has an additional anode rod that extends the warranty to 10 years. We also installed a new hot water recirculation pump. Tested everything thoroughly ensuring no leaks and proper function. Cleaned up work area.

Replaced hose bib on exterior of home with new shut off valve. Installed new vacuum breaker.

For this job, I removed the cpvc going into the water heater and replaced it with copper, along with also replacing and strapping the expansion tank and adding a new shut off valve for the heater. I also installed a sediment trap for the gas control valve. I tested my work thoroughly to ensure proper function

Mainfloor no heat: inducer hose left off inducer housing. I found that the system is short on return duct work. Both indoor and orddor capacitors are near complete failure. The mainfloor system needs better flood protection and both evap coils have black growth on them. I replaced the blower motor capacitor today after getting the homeowners apporval and emailed estimates for the other issues.

Installed secondary cross over recirculation tee under right side master bath sink. This secondary device enables faster hot water to specifically the master bathroom. Tested for leaks and proper operation.

Arrived on site and customer had a yard leak in front of the house , near the tree. I ran some troubleshooting , to determine if the line was irrigation or a mainline issue. After isolating irrigation, it seemed to be coming from the mainline. I offered to dig up the suspected leak and if I could determine the issue I could quote for the repair . After digging up the suspected area , the tree made it difficult to expose appropriate area to determine the lines condition . I spoke with customer and offered a mainline replacement solution or leak detection. Customer already had his irrigation guy scheduled to come out and was going to wait for him to come out with his leak detection gear , and then determine which route to go with .
