Responded to emergency call for leaking pipe in bathroom of apartment unit. Upon arrival, provided courtesy call 30 minutes prior as requested and accessed the affected area. Inspection revealed aged brass plumbing manifold assembly with multiple connection points showing significant deterioration and active leak. Opened wall cavity to expose full extent of plumbing infrastructure, discovering tarnished brass/bronze pipes with compromised joints and fittings. Wall backing exhibited water staining and extensive moisture damage, indicating prolonged leak condition. Assessed lower plumbing connections including black flexible tubing and dark-colored components at base of assembly. Further investigation revealed additional aged piping in crawl space/basement area with visible corrosion and patina on brass-toned pipe. Wooden framing and structural elements showed water damage and deterioration from moisture exposure. Documented existing conditions through photographs showing compromised d

Completed comprehensive Gold AC inspection on one-year-old system with air handler located in basement. Identified failed TXV requiring replacement; part ordered from Lennox (PO# 1352510-001) with shipment to Madison Heights location. Inspected copper refrigerant lines, evaporator coil, and associated mechanical components; documented existing installation with photos showing coil assembly, copper tubing connections, filter drier, and ductwork configuration within confined utility space.

Responded to a no-cooling complaint on an approximately 30-year-old central air conditioning system that had previously received refrigerant charge and fuse replacement from another contractor. Upon arrival, performed comprehensive system evaluation and second-opinion diagnostic assessment of outdoor condensing unit, which exhibited severe external corrosion, rust deterioration throughout cabinet and top panel, and significant neglect with overgrown vegetation obstructing airflow and service access. Inspected condenser fan motor assembly through heavily corroded access port and confirmed previous diagnosis of failed fan motor. Evaluated compressor operation, electrical components, refrigerant lines, and overall system condition. Documented extensive rust damage to cabinet, heat exchanger surfaces, and mounting hardware indicating prolonged exposure to moisture and lack of preventative maintenance. Given the advanced age of equipment, severity of corrosion, and compromised structural in

Responded to no-heat call on 49-year-old furnace installed in 1977. Upon arrival, unit was shut down due to rumbling sounds reported throughout the day with no heat or airflow to home. Conducted thorough inspection of basement-mounted furnace and found system had reached end of serviceable life with multiple mechanical failures. Unit had history of frequent breakdowns during previous heating season and was previously flagged for replacement. Heat exchanger showed signs of severe deterioration consistent with age, and blower assembly exhibited excessive wear causing abnormal noise during operation. Thermostat malfunction also noted, as home temperature had recently climbed to 82°F despite 72°F setpoint, indicating failed heating/cooling control. Given the age of equipment, extent of mechanical degradation, safety concerns with heat exchanger integrity, and cost of necessary repairs versus replacement, recommended immediate system replacement. Provided customer with options for new high-

Conducted site assessment for Kohler generator installation estimate at residential property. Documented existing natural gas meter and electrical service configuration, including dual digital utility meters with conduit routing on exterior wall. Evaluated gas supply infrastructure and electrical metering setup to determine specifications and requirements for proposed standby generator system integration.

Completed full HVAC system installation including a 110,000 BTU counterflow furnace, 3-ton air conditioning unit with rear discharge configuration, and humidifier. Obtained mechanical and electrical permits prior to installation. Performed system flush, installed condensate pump, and reconnected existing electrical components. Verified proper refrigerant charge and system pressures using manifold gauges, confirmed all operational parameters within manufacturer specifications, and remeasured system performance to ensure optimal efficiency.

Provided estimate for complete HVAC system replacement at residential property with failed equipment. Existing R22 air conditioning unit was empty of refrigerant and inoperable, with furnace of similar age also requiring replacement. Indoor temperature exceeded 90 degrees at time of assessment, creating urgent comfort and safety concerns for occupants. Documented existing exterior equipment location, electrical service routing, refrigerant line sets, and conduit configurations mounted on vinyl siding. Assessed installation requirements including utility connections, condensate drainage, and accessibility for replacement equipment.

Completed comprehensive tune-up inspection on 10+ year old HVAC system located in basement. Performed thorough examination of furnace, humidifier, thermostat, and hot water tank as part of city certification inspection. Documented heavily soiled air filter showing significant dirt accumulation and discoloration, indicating need for immediate replacement to maintain proper airflow and system efficiency.

Responded to service call for 34-year-old air conditioning system not cooling and blowing warm air. Upon inspection, found outdoor condenser unit nearly depleted of R22 refrigerant. Due to the system's age, obsolete refrigerant type, and condition of equipment, provided comprehensive estimate for complete HVAC system replacement including new outdoor condenser unit, indoor air handler, refrigerant lines, electrical disconnect, and thermostat controls.

Responded to no cooling complaint on 34-year-old Amana air conditioning system. Upon arrival, confirmed unit was running but blowing warm air only, with outdoor fan motor operating. Performed diagnostic testing using digital multimeter to check electrical components and system operation. Given the advanced age of the equipment at 34 years—well beyond the typical 15-20 year lifespan of residential AC units—and the complete loss of cooling capacity, recommended system replacement rather than repair due to obsolete parts availability, decreased efficiency, and likelihood of additional imminent failures.

Completed Gold Plan preventative maintenance inspection on 2022 boiler system located in main floor utility room. Performed comprehensive visual inspection of boiler unit, expansion tank, venting system, and all associated piping and connections. Inspected heat exchanger internally for signs of corrosion or debris accumulation, confirmed proper combustion chamber condition, and verified all safety controls and electrical components are functioning correctly. Unit operating within normal parameters with no issues identified at time of service.

Responded to service call for clogged basement shower drain in Mustee fiberglass shower basin. Performed drain cleaning service to remove blockage, successfully restoring proper drainage function. Verified operation with water test and documented condition with photos.
