Documented condition of critical components including control board, wiring connections, and blower assembly, with all systems functioning within normal parameters.

Replaced water filters in dual-housing filtration system mounted on basement wall near desk area. System includes copper inlet/outlet piping with shut-off valve. Documented installation with photos showing proper filter placement and system integrity.

Responded to customer call regarding non-functional furnace with suspected carbon monoxide leak. Inspection using borescope revealed extensive interior rust and corrosion throughout the heat exchanger and blower assembly. Furnace determined to be unsafe for operation due to compromised heat exchanger integrity, presenting significant carbon monoxide risk.

Successfully installed a new 90,000 BTU Lennox furnace with all necessary connections and components. Installation included proper venting with PVC pipes, electrical reconnection to the main panel, and addition of a humidifier system. All work was completed with required mechanical and electrical permits, and the system qualifies for utility rebate program.

Responded to no-heat emergency where furnace failure caused connected pipes to burst, resulting in water damage throughout the basement of this 50+ year old two-story brick home. Inspected electrical connections and found weathered outlet plate with oxidation requiring replacement.
