HVAC & Plumbing Services in Oak Creek, WI Since 1929

Performed a seasonal tune-up on the HVAC system, including electrical diagnostics with a True RMS clamp meter to verify component readings and inspect the control wiring. Used a digital thermometer to measure system temperatures and confirm proper operation. No visible frost, corrosion, or cracking was observed, and the system was left operating normally.

Installed a new furnace and air conditioning condenser as a complete system replacement, with the electrical work and permits handled for the installation. The refrigerant circuit was evacuated with a digital manifold gauge to a deep vacuum of 387 microns to verify it was leak-free and moisture-free before startup. The furnace was set in the basement with new galvanized supply and return ductwork connected to the plenum, and the equipment and ductwork showed no signs of damage, frost, or corrosion.

Performed a seasonal tune-up on the HVAC system, including inspection of the condensate drain line, which the customer reported had a history of clogging, and verification of proper drainage. Inspected the thermostat and the air handler control board, confirming secure wiring connections with no signs of damage, corrosion, or burn marks.

Installed a new Lennox gas furnace with a new thermostat and condensate pump, reusing the existing filter cabinet and adapting the new unit to the existing PVC venting and condensate drain piping. Connected electrical and gas supply, secured and sealed ductwork connections, and completed the installation under permit with electrical work performed. System was started, tested for proper operation, and verified.

Inspected the exterior wall vent serving the customer's Broan-NuTone ventilation system and found the plastic cover severely cracked and broken, with the wire grille exposed and heavily coated in dirt and debris. Verified the associated flexible and rigid galvanized ductwork in the joist bays and found no significant damage, then evaluated replacement options for the 8"x8" opening to restore proper exterior exhaust termination.

Performed the annual furnace tune-up and inspected the air handler cabinet, gas valve assembly, wiring harness connections, and flame sensor, with no signs of rust, frost, or cracking noted. Removed the dirty, debris-laden pleated air filter and replaced it with a new Secure Aire filter to restore proper airflow.

Performed a complete furnace tune-up, inspecting the burner assembly, gas valve, igniter/flame sensor, inducer motor, wiring, and condensate drain connections. Burners displayed active flame with proper ignition, and no signs of rust, cracking, or frost were found; the system was verified to be operating normally.

Responded to a no-heat complaint where the furnace initiates a heat cycle but shuts off prematurely. Inspected the burner compartment and found significant corrosion on the gas supply piping, gas valve fitting, and cabinet floor, indicating moisture exposure or condensate-related issues. Verified the ignition sequence, flame sensing, and pressure switch/inducer operation to identify the cause of the cycling failure, and documented the corrosion findings with photos for further evaluation.

Performed an on-site estimate for replacement of the furnace and air conditioning system; the existing 24-year-old equipment is operational but at the end of its expected service life. Inspected the outdoor condenser, which shows heavy corrosion on the fan guard and fan hub, a weathered and uneven mounting pad, and debris accumulation around the unit, and evaluated the Carrier gas furnace, ductwork, and surrounding utility space for replacement equipment sizing and installation requirements. Documented equipment conditions with photographs, including the electrical disconnect, flexible conduit connection, and unit data plate, in preparation for system replacement recommendations.

Responded to a hot water boiler heating complaint and inspected the basement-installed boiler system, including the zone valve and actuator wiring, supply piping, and gas piping. Observed heavy corrosion and mineral buildup on piping above the zone valve and rust on the gas line union fitting, both of which are noted as conditions requiring further evaluation. Documented system conditions with photos for the service record.

Responded to a Lennox furnace call-in for a thermostat "125 Control Hardware Failure" code preventing heat operation. Performed electrical diagnostics with a digital multimeter on the control circuit and related components to isolate the cause of the hardware fault. Unit is under the 5-year Lennox warranty coverage.

Performed annual tune-up on gas-fired boiler, inspecting the temperature/pressure gauge, expansion tank, and associated copper and brass piping and fittings, with no leaks, corrosion, or damage observed. Verified the flue venting to the chimney and flexible electrical conduit connections were secure and in good condition, and confirmed the unit was operating normally at completion.

Performed a seasonal tune-up on the 15-year-old gas furnace, removing the access panel to inspect the inducer motor and blower assembly, gas valve, control board, wiring connections, and venting. Noted damp staining on the floor near the unit, which should be monitored for a possible condensate or drainage issue.

Performed an on-site evaluation of the existing 80,000 BTU gas furnace and associated ductwork, documenting equipment dimensions, venting, PVC condensate drain routing, and return/supply airflow (CFM) requirements. Prepared replacement options covering blower motor configurations (including variable-speed) and gas valve staging (single-stage, two-stage, and modulating), providing the homeowner with the information needed to compare repair versus replacement.

Responded to a no-heat call on a 10+ year old gas furnace; verified thermostat operation and call for heat, then performed electrical diagnostics with a multimeter on the control circuit, inducer motor, pressure switch, and gas valve circuit to isolate the cause of failure. Inspected the blower assembly, wiring connections, and burner assembly, which appeared dusty and worn but intact with no visible cracks, rust, or damage. Completed diagnostic testing to determine the fault and restore heating operation.

Installed a matte black two-handle, 8-inch widespread faucet with a matching pop-up drain assembly on the vanity's undermount sink, connecting the supply lines and drain and verifying proper flow and leak-free operation. Inspected the under-sink supply and shutoff valve connections, noting rust staining near the chrome supply fittings and valve, and checked the supply and drain connections for tightness. The jetted tub repair was identified as a separate item requiring further diagnosis.

Performed a furnace tune-up, inspecting the air filter in its housing and finding it in serviceable condition with light, even loading and a minor exposed cardboard edge on the frame. Conducted electrical diagnostics with a true RMS clamp meter, measuring a resistance reading of 54.24 ohms to verify component integrity. The unit was left operating properly at completion of the service.

Responded to a no-heat call on a gas furnace under 10 years old and diagnosed the failure as either the control board or the motor, with the necessary replacement parts sourced from local stock. Inspected the unit with the front panel removed, verifying the burner compartment, control wiring, flue venting, and electrical connections to support the repair and restore heating operation.

Performed a complete furnace tune-up, including inspection and cleaning of key components and verification of safe, efficient operation. Used a digital true RMS clamp meter to test electrical operation, measuring amperage draw and component resistance to confirm the system is operating within manufacturer specifications.

Evaluated the existing upright gas furnace in the basement and assessed repair versus replacement options, noting that the draft inducer motor and blower assembly require replacement although the unit remains operational. Inspected the PVC venting, condensate piping, gas connections, and supply plenum and ductwork, then documented the equipment's condition with photographs to support the replacement estimate.
