Came out today to replace water service to home. Existing service was pvc and dives down off the meter. Was unable to find leak on service line with multiple leak detection attempts.

Today I came out for 3 system Home Care. I inspected all electrical components, checked gas pressures, static pressures, blower wheel, evaporator coils heat exchangers, duct work, cleaned flame sensor, cleaned inducer draft tubing, changed the filter, and cleared drain lines. System 1 is a 2022 Rheem Furnace located in mechanical room servicing main level. There is a humidifier, furnace, and tankless water heater all draining into same condensation pump. Pump is not in a drain pan. The pump was continuously running and this was due to gunk preventing water to drain properly. I cleaned out pump and removed as much gunk as I could. The condenser coil is impacted with debris. System 2 is a 2018 Carrier Furnace located in attic servicing upstairs. Both blower wheel and evaporator coil have debris built up on them. Heat exchanger has several hotspots and a couple areas on the verge of cracking. The secondary drain pan is rusty, but no cracks or holes. The condenser coil is impacted with

We troubleshot the outdoor post light

Today we were called out because the homeowner had no power to his bathroom outlets. There was a GFI outlet in the guest bathroom that was tripped. Today we installed spot GFI outlets in each location to stem this issue from happening again. The homeowner also expressed how him and his wife were tired of an extension cord running through the bathroom so we installed an outlet by the vanity in the bathroom. We also performed a home care inspection.

Arrived on site to troubleshoot a system making noise when the system ramps up. We discovered 2, 9 year old Rheem split systems. They are both communicating and haven’t been deep cleaned for awhile. We found the units were operating well and keeping the home 70 degrees but the outdoor condenser coils were extremely impacted and they didn’t currently have Homecare. We spoke about the systems shortcomings and got approved to complete both condenser coil cleanings and to join Homecare today, we collected payment via credit card and left the system clean, fully operational and without any faults or failures. Call complete.

Upon arrival, met with customer and spoke with him regarding their issue. Customer showed me inside where there are two bathrooms on the main floor. Customer states the hallway bathroom tub drains very slowly and then the master bathroom at the back of the home has a slow draining shower and lavatory sink. The tub drain has a brass waste assembly which then transitions to a copper fixture drain before going into a cast iron p trap and then ties into the rest of the cast iron further downstream. The sink also has a copper drain arm which will eventually drain into cast iron. I spoke to the customer regarding the risks associated with snaking cast iron and copper and I also recommended replacing the tub trap and fixture drain along with the waste assembly for the tub. Gave customer options to snake all of the drains and/or replace the tub drains as well. Customer would only like the drains snaked today and will be emailed a copy of the estimate to replace the tub drain. I began with the

Customers master bath faucet was continuously running on the cold side and would not stop unless she turned off stop valves. We pulled off the handle of the faucet and found that the cartridge had broken into multiple pieces. We ordered 2 new faucets for the bathroom and are gonna come back and install them when they arrive to the customers home.

For this job the customer stated she had a leaking hose bib in the backyard. Further inspection showed a newer hose bib with a plastic connection to a dual port hose. I removed the dual port and put my pressure gauge on it to determine if it leaked which it did not. However, I did notice the pressure to the home was excessive (approximately 100 psi). I informed the customer of my findings and she agreed to replace the pressure regulator. The old one was removed and replaced and set to 65 psi. All work was thoroughly tested for leaks and proper function.

For this job, I repaired a break in the electrical circuit
