Coatesville, PA – HVAC Contractor

On October 2, I performed a comprehensive heating tuneup on a one-year-old 80% efficient Goodman Natural Gas Furnace. I began by ensuring all electrical connections were secure. I then checked the return and supply temperatures, confirming the temperature split was within the appropriate range. The combustion and combustion levels were also verified to be in the correct range. I inspected the burners, flame sensor, ignitor, and blower motor, all of which were in good condition. Proper drainage was ensured, and a new 413 filter was installed. Humidifier maintenance was completed, and a new S1200 Honeywell thermostat was installed and tested for functionality. The system is now operational.

I performed a comprehensive oil boiler tune-up on a 2001 Peerless boiler. This included standard preventative maintenance, such as cleaning and vacuuming the heat exchanger, flues, and combustion chamber. I replaced the oil burner nozzle and oil filter cartridge, inspected and cleaned the electrodes, and checked the cad cell eye flame detector. Safety controls were tested, including the low water cut-off and emergency shut-off switch. A flue gas analysis was conducted, revealing advanced thermal stress and significant refractory breakdown inside the combustion chamber. Water pressure and temperature were fine, but the water feeder was difficult to open. The boiler showed major wear, with the pressure relief valve and flue pipe exhibiting significant corrosion and rust. The oil canister had substantial sediment and rust. I provided an estimate for necessary repairs and recommended replacing the system due to its current operational status and exceeded life expectancy.

On October 2, I conducted a comprehensive Quality Assurance Inspection on a newly installed 2-stage Goodman 95% gas furnace and A/C system. I began by examining the air filter, confirming it was the correct 4I3 size. I assessed the system's overall neatness and performance, ensuring all accessories were properly installed. I meticulously checked electrical connections and voltages, inspected and tested the burners, flame sensor, and igniter. I performed a water test on all tubing and hoses, ensuring no leaks. I inspected the exhaust and fresh air pipes for any restrictions or abnormalities. The inducer and blower motor operations were tested, and I checked for combustion and temperature splits. The outdoor A/C unit was also inspected, and I verified system levels and disconnect levels. All penetrations were sealed, and electrical connections were double-checked for proper caps. Everything was found to be in excellent working order.

On October 2, I performed a comprehensive service on a 2-year-old 95% gas furnace system. I began by replacing the air filter, which was a 14x14x1 size. I then checked all electrical connections and voltages to ensure proper functionality. The heat exchanger was inspected, and I tested the burners, flame sensor, and igniter to confirm they were operating correctly. I conducted a water test on all tubing and hoses and inspected the collector box for any issues. Additionally, I examined the exhaust and fresh air pipes for any restrictions or abnormalities. The inducer and blower motor were inspected for proper operation. I also checked for proper combustion and took temperature rise splits at the return and supply. All components were found to be functioning correctly, and the system is running efficiently. The service was completed for $189.00, paid via credit card.

I completed an AC tune-up on a 4-ton Rheem AC system installed in 2013. The gas furnace was replaced in April 2026 by another contractor. I installed a new Aprilaire 413 filter, which is in good condition, and set the AC fan speed to 1600 CFM. Both indoor and outdoor coils were inspected and found to be in good condition. I checked the wiring, controls, electric motors, and components, noting that the indoor equipment circuit has surge protection, while the outdoor equipment does not. I provided an email estimate for a surge protector. I measured the temperature split and static pressure, inspected the drains, cleared the trap, and tested the pump. A float assembly/overfill protection switch can be installed, and I provided an email estimate for this. I also checked the integrity of the compressor motor with a mega ohm test. The system is low on R410A refrigerant, and I strongly recommend upgrading the AC system due to its age. I scheduled a consultation for Monday, November 16 at 8 AM

On 9/29/26, I conducted a comprehensive service on a 2012 York gas furnace. I began with a precision heat tune to ensure optimal performance. The old 16x25x1 air filter was replaced with a new one to enhance air quality and efficiency. I meticulously checked all electrical connections and components for any signs of wear or damage. The flame sensor was cleaned to ensure proper ignition. I measured the resistance of the high-speed igniter and verified the gas pressure. A temperature rise test was performed to confirm efficient heat transfer. Finally, a combustion test was conducted to ensure safe and effective operation. The furnace, now 14 years old, is at replacement age but is currently functioning well.

On 9/28, I inspected an outdoor AC unit that was tripping the indoor breaker. The unit, over 15 years old and using R-22 refrigerant, required a thorough examination. After removing the top, I inspected the compressor and found the terminals' pins to be severely degraded. This failure was confirmed by a mega ohm test. I collected my $99 fee via credit card. Bob will present replacement options later.

This customer called with no heat and found their thermostat was off; once we set it to heat, the system came on with no issues, so we proceeded with their annual tune-up. We serviced their 2019 Amana 80% gas furnace: cleaned and adjusted the burners, tested all safety switches, verified proper draft with zero flue spillage, checked electrical connections and blower speed, and confirmed a healthy 47-degree temperature rise with zero carbon monoxide in the living space. We also replaced the 1-inch air filter, leaving the system running safely and efficiently for the heating season.

This customer just purchased their home and asked us to look at the mobile home heater, as they were planning to use electric heaters as the heat source. After troubleshooting, we found the 1998 heater needs major repairs and recommended replacing the system. The customer decided not to replace it at this time and will run wiring for electric heaters instead.

Luis 9-20-26 Customer called after hours for no cooling. Customer stated system is not providing any cool air coming out of the vents check system operation air filter, indoor coil, drain system and supply return air temperatures only 10° split I inspected indoor coil. There’s a big temperature differential on the bottom of the coil versus middle top of the coil. Checked outside unit found system to be running very low on refrigerant. The reason the system is not providing any cooling it’s due to two factors; system is low refrigerant and also there seems to be a restriction with indoor coil. I provided estimate to replace indoor coil as repair option, I also provided estimate to add refrigerant (this could work for couple days). My final recommendation is to get an estimate to replace system.
