Heating and Cooling in Berkley

Conducted estimate appointment for replacement of 11-year-old air conditioning system with outdoor unit located at side of house and indoor components in basement. Assessed existing HVAC equipment including green sheet metal ductwork, electrical controls, and air handler with motor assembly in mechanical room. Evaluated current thermostat operation displaying cooling setpoint of 74 degrees and documented system configuration for replacement proposal.

Responded to service call for central air conditioning system with no cooling capacity and minimal airflow despite unit operation. Upon inspection of the indoor air handler unit and system components, assessed the condition of the existing HVAC equipment including ductwork connections, refrigerant lines, condensate drainage, and electrical connections. Documented equipment specifications and provided estimate for complete system replacement due to system failure and inability to maintain adequate cooling performance.

Responded to service call for central air conditioning system running but producing little to no airflow through vents with no cooling capacity. Upon inspection, discovered severely clogged evaporator drain pan with excessive accumulation of dirt, biological growth, and sediment blocking proper drainage and restricting airflow. Cleaned and cleared drain pan assembly, removed debris buildup from drain opening, and restored proper condensate drainage function. Verified system operation with adequate airflow restored through all vents and cooling capacity returned to normal parameters.

Conducted comprehensive on-site evaluation for complete HVAC system replacement including 2-ton furnace, air conditioning unit, and hot water heater. Inspected existing outdoor condenser unit mounted on concrete pad with vibration dampening base, assessed refrigerant line penetrations through exterior wall, and verified electrical disconnect box configuration. Documented current system specifications and photographed equipment condition for replacement estimate preparation. Evaluated utility service connections including electric and gas meter locations to determine installation requirements for new equipment. Provided customer with detailed replacement options and system specifications for complete system upgrade.

Completed AC system startup on basement coil and outdoor condensing unit. Performed initial system inspection, verified proper refrigerant connections at evaporator coil, checked electrical connections and condensate drainage, and confirmed operational status of both indoor and outdoor equipment components.

Responded to service call for loud banging noise coming from furnace air duct during system startup on unit previously installed in December. Performed diagnostic testing using digital manometer to measure static pressures and airflow characteristics throughout the duct system. Reviewed manufacturer specifications and switch configuration tables to verify proper blower speed settings and operational parameters. Measurements indicated pressure imbalances consistent with duct expansion/contraction noise during heating cycle initiation, a common occurrence in new installations as materials settle and adjust to temperature cycling.

Completed estimate for replacement of 22-year-old natural gas furnace located in basement. Current Bryant furnace is operational but at end of service life. Assessed existing electrical panel, ductwork connections, and humidifier system; recommended retaining existing Aprilaire humidifier unit and integrating with new furnace installation.

# Service Report: Toilet Repair Responded to service call for toilet not holding water in tank. Upon arrival, inspected toilet tank and found discolored water with significant rust and mineral buildup throughout interior. Assessed internal flush valve assembly, fill valve with red cap, flapper mechanism, and overflow tube. Tank components showed signs of age and corrosion but were mechanically functional. Diagnosed issue with water retention and identified necessary repairs to restore proper tank fill and flush operation. Documented tank condition with photographs showing extent of discoloration and component wear for service records.

Responded to service call for a 12-year-old Empire Comfort Systems heating unit not providing adequate heat. Diagnostic testing revealed significantly low supply air temperature (23.6°F), indicating insufficient heat production. Performed system inspection, cleaned components, and adjusted the wall-mounted manual thermostat for proper calibration. Unit now functioning within normal operating parameters with appropriate temperature output.

Performed diagnostic inspection on furnace chimney exhaust system located in basement. Identified and secured loose chimney top cap that was hanging over, which posed a potential safety hazard and could lead to improper venting. Verified proper exhaust flow and secure connection of all ductwork components to ensure safe and efficient operation of the 10+ year old furnace system.

Successfully rerouted sump pump discharge line from exterior to basement laundry sink to prevent outdoor freezing and mess issues. Installed new PVC piping system along ceiling joists with proper connections and fittings to ensure effective drainage and compliance with plumbing codes.

Conducted inspection of 30-year-old non-operational furnace with confirmed cracked heat exchanger on both sides. System requires full replacement of both furnace and AC units. Current installation includes outdated ductwork with multiple connection points that would benefit from modernization during equipment replacement.

Responded to warranty service call for Lennox furnace under 1 year old producing loud buzzing noise while still operational. Upon inspection of the basement unit, determined the AprilAire humidifier mounted to the furnace was causing the noise due to a faulty solenoid valve. Replaced defective valve under warranty, tested system operation, and verified proper functionality with noise eliminated.

Responded to service call for Bryant furnace (2021 model) leaking water. Performed diagnostic inspection on the unit, which included checking the PVC ventilation system and drain pipe connections. Adjusted thermostat settings from 70° to 68° and confirmed proper system operation after repair.

Diagnosed and serviced furnace reporting D4 error code and unusual odor from vents. Inspected gas valve and burner assembly, confirming proper flame pattern and gas flow. System is operational with normal combustion and no visible issues in the ductwork or connections to water heater.

Responded to no heat call for furnace less than one year old with reported error codes. Upon inspection of the unit, found inducer motor was malfunctioning as customer suspected. Replaced faulty inducer motor and verified proper system operation; unit should be covered under manufacturer warranty as this is a recent installation.
