Today I came out to complete a duct repair. I installed a new 10-inch supply duct directly from the supply plenum to increase airflow into the son’s room. After completing the repair, I performed a two-system inspection. Both systems are cooling properly at this time. I flushed both drain lines, checked all electrical components and airflow settings, and replaced the upstairs system’s filter. Both systems lack an indoor air quality device, and biological growth was found inside the system. The upstairs filter was also heavily restricted. I recommended installing an APCO-X air purification system to help reduce biological growth, odors, airborne contaminants, and buildup inside the HVAC system while improving the home’s overall indoor air quality. There are no other issues at this time. Customer is happy.

Met with the owner on site. They had several things to have looked at today. Firstly, they found the lav drain in the guest bathroom was leaking. I found the slip nut to the galvanized nipple was not tight and had no gasket. I cleaned and replaced the slip nut, washer, reset the plumbing and tested for leaks. In the same bathroom, the toilet was constantly running due to the fill valve not turning off. I replaced the fill valve, tested and confirmed no leaks or errors. In the master bathroom, they had several slow drains. At this time, everything but the tub is draining properly. I ran my Milwaukee cable and was able to remove a large amount of hair. I ran the tub to test and confirmed flow. I also found the right-hand lav faucet drips from the cold stem when the hot water is turned on. I attempted to tighten the packing but it did not resolve the issue. They plan to possibly replace the faucets so we left it for now. Perform draining clearing on tub or shower drain trap. Drain cle

Customer requested to have a gas shut off valve for the fireplace located due to no gas being at the gas logs. I found it in the basement ceiling and tested to make sure there was gas there.

Customer is experiencing a tankless water heater leaking internally Today we performed a troubleshoot for a prestige tankless that was leaking from the mixing valve, contacted Rheem for technical support. This part was not readily available to pick up today so we ordered the part with expedited shipping. Collected a deposit for the order and will return as soon as the parts are delivered. Water pressure is at 55 PSI

Found tripped flood protection; unit not operating. I cleaned the condensation pump; pump was full of debris; previous tech didn't clean during homecare visit. I tested the pump and verified that it was operating. I wired in the water safeties for the pump; previous tech didnt wire them in. I had to replace the older model water safety due to it being wet and tripped (it would not reset). I tested the new flood safety switch and verified that it was operating properly. I ran the unit and verified that it was operating when I left. Conclusion: water was being caused by a leaking joint at the high pressure relief line for the water heater next to the hvac system. Water was running down one of the ducts into the emergency drain pan. The homeowner will call his plumber back out since he was the one that installed the water heater.

No cool: mainfloor 2020 goodman system Issues found: found oversized breaker. The capacitor for the outdoor unit had failed. The contactor had been damaged; probably during the installation process. With the homeowners permission I replaced the contactor and capacitor and the oversized breaker. I ran the system and checked the refrigerant pressures. I found that the refrigerant was contaminated and all new refrigerant will need to be installed to replace the old contaminated refrigerant (a vacuum will need to be pulled before the new refrigerant get installed). The homeowner gave the approval for me to replace the contactor, capacitor and breaker; which I did. I also installed Schrader caps for all of the outdoor unit (no charge); since previous company lost all of them. The systems were operating when I left (see video). I will also email estimate to level the condenser (they are not level) and to install 2 new refrigerant line covers. The condensation pump for the mainfloor syste

Client is have low volume issue when more than one fixture is run at a time. I bypassed the whole home filtration system and that corrected the issue. Client contacted filtration system company who recommended new main filter but changing from .5 microns to 3 micron carbon filtration. They also recommended installing a booster pump. Client is going to order new filters and call us back out to replace them. Client was concerned that the newly installed water heater and ion6 may be contributing to the issue but in bypass mode we ran a shower, a tub and the kitchen sink in hot mode with no issues.

Install a cs garbage disposal Customer called out for a garbage disposal. Upon arrival the customer let me know they were looking to replace their existing garbage disposal. They had a replacement disposal already. We took a look under the sink to ensure the new disposal was going to work and we confirmed it was. We also tested the sink to ensure there was not a blockage present, and after running water we did not get any signs of a blockage. The original garbage disposal is about 14 years old. We gave our customer an estimate and they agreed to replace it. We removed the disposal and the mounting bracket, and we cleaned the area and installed the new collar. We hooked up the new garbage disposal and ensured power to it. We tested for any leaks around our work and made sure everything was functioning properly. The customer is satisfied and thank you for choosing Te Certified!

I performed a troubleshoot on a tripping main breaker. I found that the lugs in the breaker were very loose and the breaker itself was overheating. The overheating on the buzzbar was caused by the poor connections at the main breaker. The lugs on the old main breaker were visibly burnt and arcing at the top. The wiring was overheated, so much so that during replacement the service wiring had started to melt to the sheathing. They have mainly gas appliances and do not have any heavy load running in the house. I replaced the main breaker in the panel and torqued all lugs down to spec. We turned power back on, tested everything and panel is working properly again. I told the homeowners that this repair is a bandaid and we will not be able to warranty it as the panel is already in visibly damaged condition. Estimate was given to replace the panel as well. I also replaced one standard breaker for the garage lights
