HVAC, Plumbing and Electrical in Detroit

Successfully completed mini-split installation with new circuit, including proper wall penetration sealed with expanding foam and exterior line management. System installed with condensate pump and linehide, with all electrical connections properly secured according to mechanical and electrical permit requirements.

Conducted assessment for potential dual mini-split heat pump system installation. Current gas furnace is operational though age is undetermined. Surveyed basement installation location and documented available utility closet space with adequate wall clearance for indoor air handler mounting. Site appears suitable for mini-split conversion with minimal modifications required.

Performed comprehensive inspection of cast iron piping system requiring replacement from basement to upper level. Examined exposed structural areas with existing galvanized components and identified multiple sections of deteriorated cast iron pipes. Assessed bathroom plumbing configuration including shower valve assembly and access points for integration with new piping system.

Responded to service call for toilet drainage issue. Used snake to clear severe blockage in floor drain that had caused significant water damage, rust staining, and deterioration of surrounding flooring. Successfully restored proper drainage function and documented condition with photos for customer records; invoice sent via email as requested.

Responded to service call regarding no hot water in showers across two bathrooms, despite functioning hot water in sinks. Diagnosed and repaired faulty shower mixing valve that was preventing proper hot water flow to shower fixtures while maintaining appropriate hot water temperature to sink fixtures.

Responded to no hot water call at 8-year-old unit in basement. Installed new Rheem Performance water heater with proper venting system and connected all required supply lines. System now functioning properly with hot water restored.

Cleared significant blockage from washing machine drain line that was causing backup issues. Visual inspection revealed accumulated sediment and mineral deposits in the cast iron pipe, with notable rust streaks and buildup along interior walls. Service restored proper drainage function.

Inspected basement boiler system and identified multiple radiator leaks. Found significant water damage to wooden flooring and wall discoloration beneath affected radiator valves. Observed corrosion and deterioration on brass valves and connecting pipes, which were the source of the leakage.

Completed steam line repairs in confined structural space, addressing deteriorated sections where insulation was compromised. Installed new vertical cast iron pipe with proper connections against brick wall, securing all components with appropriate fasteners and ensuring system integrity for continued operation.

Performed diagnostic service on a 7-year-old NOBLE® Combi Gas Boiler model NKC110N that was operational but not providing adequate heat. Inspected the expansion tank and associated copper piping, finding dust accumulation and potential pressure issues. Cleaned system components, verified thermostat functionality, and restored proper heating operation.

Installed new gas supply line for dryer. Located and connected to existing gas piping system in basement, routing through floor joists and terminating with appropriate shut-off valve at appliance location. Verified connections for proper sealing and tested system for leaks to ensure safe operation.

Responded to water leak complaint from previous service. Inspected area and found corroded metal surface where PVC drain pipe passes through, with visible moisture damage and rust. Resealed pipe penetration and verified proper drainage to resolve persistent leak affecting lower level.

Performed diagnostic assessment on 15+ year-old furnace that failed to maintain operation long enough to heat the residence despite previous repair attempts by another company (inducer motor and gas valve replacement). Inspection revealed a failed blower motor that only activates upon furnace overheating, producing screeching noises and burning odor when operational. Recommended complete system replacement due to age and multiple component failures.

Diagnosed intermittent operation issue on 5-year-old furnace. Performed electrical testing with clamp meter, measuring 0.75A current draw and 3.5Hz frequency on control circuit. Inspected ductwork for proper installation and airflow restrictions. Resolved issue and verified proper system operation.

Performed diagnostic testing on furnace system that was failing to cycle off properly. Used UEi DL369 Phoenix clamp meter to measure electrical current values on blower motor and inducer motor components (readings of 004.1/0.146 and 0.000/15.49 observed). Identified and corrected control circuit issue causing continuous operation.

Completed installation of a complete HVAC system including a 70,000 BTU furnace, 2.5 ton AC unit, new thermostat, condensate pump, and duct liner. Installed new PVC venting with proper support to joists and completed all necessary electrical work including a new dedicated circuit, with all appropriate permits secured for mechanical and electrical components.

Completed diagnostic inspection of 10+ year old Bryant furnace located in basement with failed heat exchanger, which triggered safety alarms and caused system shutdown. Unit has been non-operational for over a month due to possible carbon monoxide leak. Provided replacement estimate for new furnace and humidifier, with additional assessment of electrical concerns including multiple burnt outlets that will require remediation.

Completed full system estimate for existing HVAC installation, examining furnace with connected metallic ductwork, visible seams, and metal tape/sealant work. Inspection included evaluation of water heater with associated copper piping and control components, documenting current system condition through comprehensive photography for quote preparation.

Responded to service call for clogged bathtub drain in second-floor bathroom of historic home (95+ years old). Successfully cleared obstruction using drain snake and verified proper drainage. Inspected PVC drain assembly and flexible drain trap for damage; all components functioning normally after service.

Performed diagnostic assessment of water valve and gas line issues. Inspected aging plumbing infrastructure including corroded copper pipes, deteriorating insulation, and brass valve in utility area. Documented condition of hot water tank connections and surrounding plumbing system to prepare detailed estimate for necessary repairs to address water leak and gas line reconfiguration.
