Documented existing installation configuration and photographed equipment locations to provide accurate replacement estimate for new AC system.

# Summary Completed comprehensive Gold-level preventive maintenance on a 10-year-old residential air conditioning system with outdoor condenser unit and indoor evaporator coil. No operational issues were reported prior to service, and system performed within normal parameters throughout inspection. # Work Performed Conducted thorough inspection of outdoor condenser unit located on concrete pad at side of residence. Removed accumulated debris including pine needles, twigs, and vegetation from around unit base and coil fins to ensure proper airflow. Cleared organic matter and weeds growing near foundation to maintain adequate clearance around equipment. Inspected condenser coil fins for damage and blockage. Cleaned exterior coil surfaces to restore heat transfer efficiency. Verified fan motor operation and checked fan blade condition for proper balance and secure mounting. Examined refrigerant line insulation and electrical conduit routing along foundation wall for signs of deteriora

Corrected mechanical code violation on existing boiler installation by extending copper discharge piping from the backflow preventer and two pressure relief valves to terminate within 4 feet of the floor level. The original installation had inadequate discharge pipe extensions, creating a safety hazard and failing to meet code requirements for proper temperature and pressure relief valve discharge termination. Modified the existing copper piping configuration to ensure all relief valve discharge points now comply with mechanical code standards for safe operation and building inspection approval.

Completed estimate for whole home dehumidification system installation in a 4,400 square foot colonial residence.
