THE LEADING UPPER VALLEY PLUMBING, HEATING, AIR & Electric EXPERTS

During this visit, we completed the dishwasher installation, connections, and installed a GFCI for the dishwasher. We also replaced two existing bathroom lavatory faucets to match the existing roman tub faucet, replaced the bathroom tubular P-traps, and replaced the leaking kitchen faucet with a customer-supplied replacement. The dishwasher was connected to the existing water supply, drainage, and electrical connections as applicable, and the GFCI was installed to provide the required electrical protection. Both bathroom lavatory faucets were installed, the existing water supply lines were reconnected, and the tubular P-traps were replaced to ensure proper drainage. The existing kitchen faucet was removed and replaced with the customer-supplied faucet, and the water supply lines were reconnected. All completed installations were tested for proper operation, and the connections were checked for leaks to help ensure reliable performance. Also we replaced the shower head in the secondary

Annual Oil-Fired Furnace Maintenance and Service Report Performed annual maintenance on the oil-fired furnace. Replaced the oil burner nozzle, fuel filter, strainer, fuel pump, cad cell eye, and furnace cleanout covers. Thoroughly vacuumed and cleaned the furnace and smoke pipe. During the inspection, we found the existing smoke pipe to be in very poor condition. With the customer’s approval, we proceeded with replacing the smoke pipe to ensure safe and reliable operation. We inspected the system safeties and performed both a combustion analysis and a draft test. At the time of service, all tests were satisfactory, and the furnace was operating as intended. Return Air Improvements During last year’s annual maintenance, we identified insufficient return airflow to the furnace. With the customer’s approval, we enlarged an existing 12” x 4” return air opening to 12” x 12” and installed new 8” ductwork from the opening to the furnace, upgrading the previous 6” ductwork. These improve

Arrived on site to attempt to find the suspected leak in the Minisplit system. We started by verifying power was off and then recovered the remaining refrigerant in the system. We got about 12-13 pounds out. While that was recovering we measured our liquid linesets lengths to see how much refrigerant should actually be in the system per Mitsubishi. We found that the system requires about 17lbs 2oz of 410a. After the refrigerant was recovered, we pressurized the system with nitrogen to locate the leak. We stabilized at around 435psi with no change in pressure but we were able to locate the leak that did not show up on our digital gauges. It was located at the branch box connection coming from the outdoor unit. We were able to free the flare nut and found that the flare was improperly made and was causing a small leak. We cut the flare off and reflared it. Tightened connection to the proper torque requirement and repressurized the system. This time it held with no leaks. We then pulled

Upon arrival, I spoke with the customer regarding a no-heat concern with his Buderus boiler. I performed a thorough evaluation of the system and restarted the boiler to observe its sequence of operation. The boiler fired and operated properly. All heating zones were calling, and I monitored the system until each zone reached the proper operating temperature. I cycled the boiler several times and did not observe any operational issues related to the original no-heat complaint. I provided the customer with estimates for the Jerms Home Care Club, an annual tune-up of the Buderus boiler, and a flush of the indirect domestic hot water heater. The customer initially approved the tune-up and indirect water heater flush. While accessing the rear of the boiler to shut off the gas, I discovered that the ST-5 expansion tank was waterlogged and the pressure relief valve was dripping. I informed the customer of these findings and presented an estimate to replace both components. The customer app

Brought in more air with a combustion air kit and did a combustion analysis. 12.77 CO2 and 60 CO. everything is operating as it should at this time
