Heating, Cooling and Plumbing Services in Waterford, Wisconsin

Performed a furnace and A/C tune-up, including inspection and servicing of the heating and cooling systems. Removed the hot surface igniter (HSI) from the furnace for evaluation and testing of the ignition components, and verified the condensate drain line and associated tubing were properly routed.

Performed a tune-up on a Lennox upflow gas furnace. Removed and serviced the flame sensor, inspected the burner assembly and sight glass, and verified secure wiring connections. Visual inspection of the unit, PVC vent piping, condensate drain, and electrical components showed no signs of rust, frost, or physical damage, and the furnace was reassembled and returned to service.

Replaced the garbage disposal and adjusted the drain line, reconnecting the PVC P-trap and tee assembly to the ABS drain with slip-joint fittings and securing the dishwasher drain hose and supply connections. Noted pre-existing moisture staining and deterioration on the cabinet floor beneath the sink, which may indicate prior leakage.

Performed a seasonal tune-up on a Lennox gas furnace, including inspection of the unit, PVC intake/exhaust venting, flexible vent connection, electrical conduit and junction box, and surrounding ductwork. Verified the 16x25 filter size noted on the return and found no visible rust, cracks, or frost damage, with all connections in place and the system ready for winter operation. Noted minor discoloration near an upper PVC elbow for monitoring.

Performed a furnace tune-up with the upper access panel removed to inspect the draft inducer assembly, gas valve, wiring connections, and PVC venting. Conducted combustion analysis on the natural gas appliance with a flue gas analyzer, recording a stack temperature of 96.9°F, O2 at 13.2%, CO at 8 ppm (22 ppm air-free), CO2 at 4.37%, and a steady-state efficiency of 92.4%, indicating safe and efficient operation within normal parameters.

Performed an on-site estimate for an air conditioning system replacement, inspecting the basement-mounted ductwork, refrigerant line set, and condensate drain piping. Existing galvanized supply trunk, insulated refrigerant lines, and PVC condensate drain were found in serviceable condition with no visible frost, rust, or damage. Customer elected to pour the equipment slab before proceeding with the replacement installation.

Responded to a Carrier furnace showing fault code 33 (limit circuit open) followed by lockout on code 13 (limit circuit lockout). Removed the front panel and inspected the blower compartment, venting, wiring, and limit circuit components to diagnose the cause of the repeated limit trips and restored the unit to normal operation.

Performed a furnace tune-up, inspecting the ignition system and removing the igniter/flame sensor probe for evaluation. Conducted a combustion analysis with a Testo 310 flue gas analyzer on natural gas, recording a stack temperature of 102.3°F, O₂ at 11.9%, CO at 8 ppm (19 ppm air-free), CO₂ at 5.10%, excess air at 117.1%, and combustion efficiency of 92.3%. Readings indicate safe CO levels and efficient operation.

Completed a whole-home plumbing inspection, visually assessing accessible supply and drain piping, including copper supply lines, PVC and ABS drain piping with rubber couplings, and fittings through an open ceiling cavity. Noted staining on concrete block walls and dust accumulation on piping, with no active leaks observed in the documented areas, and photographed all inspected components for the service record.

Responded to a no-heat call on a 15-year-old Armstrong A95UH2V furnace where the hot surface igniter would glow but gas never flowed and ignition did not occur. With the front access panel removed, inspected the gas valve assembly and associated wiring harness, and used a multimeter to test for voltage at the gas valve during the ignition sequence to verify valve operation and control signal. Completed diagnostics and service on the ignition and gas delivery components, restoring the furnace to normal operation.

Performed a complete furnace tune-up on an oil-fired heating system, including inspection and servicing of the burner assembly, fuel filter, and oil supply line connections. Verified proper combustion operation and system performance. The oil storage tank, supply valve, and fuel filter were inspected, with no leaks, rust, or visible damage observed.

Performed an on-site diagnostic of a malfunctioning garbage disposal, inspecting the GE disposal unit, its power connection, the ABS discharge line, and the P-trap assembly with slip-joint connections beneath the sink. Documented the under-sink plumbing configuration and condition to support repair evaluation and recommendations.

Responded to a reported gas leak at the furnace and performed a diagnostic evaluation with the gas supply shut off. Used a Testo 310 II flue gas analyzer to sample the surrounding area, recording CO levels of 7 ppm and 0 ppm with ambient O2 readings of 21.9% and 20.9%, indicating no hazardous combustion byproducts present. Noted soot-like discoloration on the closet interior, and the gas supply remains off pending further inspection and repair of the leak source.

Performed diagnostic evaluation of the gas furnace in response to a reported odor on startup, including inspection of the plenum and supply plenum connection, temperature measurements, and electrical checks of blower motor amperage (1.95 A) with a true RMS clamp meter. Documented system condition and applied a service sticker to the unit for future maintenance reference.

Installed a new toilet flange and bathtub drain, including PVC drain and vent piping routed through the framing with proper support. Pipe runs were connected with couplings, tee fittings, and sweeping elbows, and secured with hanger straps to the framing. A cleanout with a threaded plug was provided for future access, and all connections were completed and inspected for proper fit and alignment.

Performed a furnace tune-up, inspecting the blower assembly, flame sensor, and control wiring within the cabinet and checking system operation with a digital multimeter. Cleaned accumulated dust and debris from the cabinet interior and verified connections and components were in proper working condition.

Assessed a failed cast iron toilet flange showing heavy corrosion, rust scaling, and broken flange ring sections, with moisture-related deterioration of the surrounding subfloor and corroded cast iron drain piping visible in the underfloor area. Prepared an estimate to remove approximately 7–8 feet of deteriorated cast iron drain piping and replace it with PVC, including a new toilet flange, and to include the bathtub drain in the same scope of work.

Performed a furnace replacement estimate after diagnosing a failed control board and pressure switch, along with a faulty T10 module. Inspected the air handler, return filter slot, ductwork connections, and electrical service panels to confirm installation conditions. Documented the unit and surrounding components with photos, and noted that the T10 module repair must be included with the installation, with the part ordered in advance so installers can complete it during the replacement.

Responded to complaint of humming noise audible on main level during heating and cooling system operation. Inspected HVAC equipment and identified source of noise transmission through ductwork. Installed vibration dampening component to isolate mechanical vibrations and eliminate noise transfer to living space.

Responded to service call for furnace fan cycling on and off approximately every 10 seconds. Performed diagnostic inspection of the HVAC system, accessed internal components including blower assembly, control board, and electrical connections. Identified and addressed the intermittent fan operation issue to restore proper system function.
