Resolved AC screeching by removing the loose blower belt, tightening the motor, and reinstalling the belt. Tested the system to confirm the squealing noise was eliminated, restoring quiet and efficient air conditioner performance.

Followed up on new HVAC installation. Installed thermostat backplate and insulated plenum transition to prevent condensation. Tested furnace and air conditioner pressures, temperatures, and airflow to ensure optimal system performance.

Replaced old garbage disposal and basket strainer with a new Badger 5. Mounted the dishwasher, reconnected the water, and tested all connections to prevent leaking pipes and ensure reliable operation.

Cleaned four mini-split indoor filters and treated condensate pans to ensure proper drainage. Washed outdoor coils, verified electrical voltages, and confirmed an efficient 29°F temperature split for optimal HVAC maintenance.

Replaced the upstairs thermostat and blower capacitor, and replaced a failed basement AC dual run capacitor. Completed system maintenance on both units. Diagnosed extensive water damage on the first-floor system and recommended replacement.

Diagnosed AC not cooling and identified a failed capacitor on the outdoor unit. Replaced the faulty capacitor to restore reliable system operation and proper cooling.

Cleaned furnace burners, flame sensor, and igniter, and tested gas pressures during HVAC maintenance. Inspected plumbing fixtures for leaks, evaluated the aged water heater for a tankless upgrade, and quoted a washer box replacement.

Addressed intermittent AC shutdown and error code 292. Discussed potential blower motor failure and provided a replacement quote. System is currently operating, and customer will monitor for further issues.

Cleared root infiltration in the main sewer line using 80 feet of 3/4" cable with an R4 cutter from the basement cleanout. Successfully removed 95% of roots to prevent backups and noted a potential root entry pinhole in the cast iron pipe.

Replaced the toilet tank-to-bowl gasket and bolts to stop the leak. Replaced the faulty dielectric union to prevent water damage and ensure a secure plumbing repair.

Seasonal HVAC and plumbing maintenance: de-scaled tankless water heater, replaced three filters, cleaned condenser coils, treated drain lines, and replaced unit 3 capacitor. Provided quotes for leaking cartridges and worn toilets.

Resolved a clogged condensate line by replacing the restricted 1/2" drain line with a larger 3/4" line, ensuring proper system drainage and preventing future water leaks.

Resolved ejector pump alarm by removing tangled tethered floats. Installed a new PVC float tree in the pit, secured the floats at the proper height, and cycled the system to verify reliable operation.

Restored power to the RTU to resolve cooling issues, replaced dirty filters clogged with drywall dust, and completed a Nest thermostat replacement. Verified proper system operation.

Cabled 100' of main sewer line to address basement backup. Identified a municipal sewer backup as the root cause of the issue. Contacted public works for emergency city main cleaning and scheduled a follow-up sewer camera inspection.

Checked system pressures and temperatures, identifying an active refrigerant leak with low superheat. Advised against running the system to prevent damage until the AC repair and part installation can be completed.

Resolved basement flooding and water intrusion after rain by replacing a malfunctioning sump pump. Tested the basin and float switch to ensure proper operation and drainage.
