Marietta, GA – Electricians, Plumbers & HVAC Service

For this call, homeowner was wanting to see about getting prices for repair or replacement for water heater as their Vortex AO Smith water heater kept throwing error codes and not heating their water consistently. Upon inspection, we called tech support and tried to resolve the issue but could not get the heater to fire up. We found the exhaust pipe was full of rust sediment indicating it was nearing the end of its life even if we replaced a part for the heater. Gave multiple options from repair up to replacement. Homeowner chose to go with the tankless and ION-6. Went to get materials and came back and competed the install. Checked all of our work for any leaks and that everything was working properly. Everything is working as it should at this time. We will return next week to finish up some final touches and cosmetic work. Thank you for trusting TE Certified with all your plumbing needs.

Run new circuit and outdoor outlet

Troubleshoot power outage for the bathroom and patio outlets.

No cool due to a bad dual capacitor. Replaced capacitor and system works. Checked amperage on motor and compressor, filter, pressures, temperature differential, cleared drain line, and visual inspection. System is working properly at this time with no other issue. Recommend to replace filter (AprilAire 413) every 6 months .

For this job, the customer called us out to see why her bath fan was not working and to solve why three of her outlets were reading open ground. I inspected the outlets and found that one of them did not have the ground hooked up and the other two had bad connections and paint on the ground. I also inspected the bath fan and found bad connections in the fan causing it to not work. I replaced the three outlets and installed a whole home surge protector. The bath fan is now working and I offered to replace the fan but the customer does not want to at this time since she does not use the bathroom much. Thank you for choosing TE Certified Electricians!

During this visit I completed the installation of 2 LED lights in the garage. Each light requires the installation of an old work box.

Upon arrival there was a flagged area next to a large tree where leak detection determined the leak would be. Dug down 3ft and no piping or signs of water were found. Leak detection will be rescheduled. Took partial payment for my time digging today and will charge remaining balance when the line is able to be repaired.

Full system zoning

Came out for a no-cool call on the upstairs system. Upon inspection, I found the condenser coil was heavily impacted with dirt and debris, restricting heat transfer, along with an undersized return causing low airflow. Initial testing showed a 10°F temperature split and 1°F subcooling, while the manufacturer calls for approximately 7–8°F subcooling. I informed the homeowner of my findings and explained how the dirty condenser coil, low refrigerant charge, and restricted return airflow were negatively affecting the system’s cooling performance. The homeowner approved a condenser coil cleaning and refrigerant adjustment. I thoroughly cleaned the condenser coil and allowed the system to operate for approximately 15 minutes before rechecking refrigerant pressures. I then adjusted the refrigerant charge to achieve the manufacturer’s target subcooling and verified proper system operation. The system’s temperature split remained slightly lower than normal, which is expected due to the elev

Main level system not working due to a broken low voltage wire outside, by the condenser. I was able to reconnect the wires and system works. Checked amperage on motor and compressor, capacitor, filter, temperature differential, drain line (clear) and visual inspection. System is cooling at this time but compressor has little high amperage (8.84 amps ) ne pressures little high, as well. System is 20 years old and not efficient anymore. This can affect the humidity level in the hose, specially on hotter days. System already has a kick start capacitor installed, to help compressor to start. Due to the be of the system, recommend to upgrade the system, be bring savings, comfort and efficiency back to the house. New system come with 10 years warranty and WiFi thermostat.

Based on our findings today, it might be time to think about getting a brand new system. System Information: Inspected second-floor HVAC system consisting of a furnace, air conditioner, and evaporator coil. Based on the equipment information provided, the system is approximately 15–16 years old (2009/2010). Summary of Today's Visit: Technician responded to evaluate a system that was not cooling properly. After completing diagnostic testing, the technician found the system has a restriction in the refrigerant circuit, preventing the air conditioner from operating efficiently. Due to the age and overall condition of the equipment, the technician does not recommend investing in major repairs on this system. In addition to the refrigerant issue, the technician found the equipment appears to be undersized and under-insulated ductwork, which can negatively affect airflow, comfort, and overall system performance. Because of the system's age and condition, any major repair performed cannot be

Came on 07/01/26 for no cool Found bad outdoor capacitor, dirty condenser coil, clogged up drain line. Gave option replace the capacitor. Homeowner declined saying capacitor is expensive, so they will purchase a capacitor and replace it themselves. I also gave option to clean condenser coil due to high head pressure. Option approved. Properly cleaned the condenser coil. Also cleaned the drain line at no cost since homeowner is a Homecare member. Ductwork are in poor condition Contactor is making a humming noise.

Repair refrigerant leak

Drains for powder room addition installed incorrectly. No venting provided, s-trapped sink, double trapped fixtures, and draining to pump rather than gravity. Removed all drains for bathroom. Pulled toilet and removed flange. Replaced the sewage ejector lid to remove the 3” line running into the top. Ran new drains for the sink and toilet and tied them into the 3” cast iron fixture branch. Both fixtures are vented through a Studor vent located under the sink.

Today I came out due to Goodman system not working. Goodman furnace is located in attic servicing upstairs level. Upon arrival I found the float switch was full of water due to a clogged drain line. I unclogged the line, dumped 4 pounds of water in to drain line, and it’s draining. Drain line is a long run with a couple of bellies in it not allowing it to drain properly. Blower wheel is impacted with dust and debris on fan blades. Condenser coils are heavily impacted with debris. I cleaned the condenser coils and tested work. There is a faulty switch at the furnace as it won’t turn off when switch is flipped. I recommend one of our electricians come out to look at it.

Heather called us out to her home because she just recently bought a wall connector and wanted it installed. The previous tenant had the circuit ran for the EV so all we did today was installed. The customer supplied car charger.
