Customer called in stating that their Lennox furnace would not come on. Upon arrival, the technician spoke to the customer regarding the issues they were having. The customer told the technician that the thermostat would display "waiting" for extended periods of time and the furnace would not run at all. The technician inspected the furnace and found it to be a Signature Series Lennox 2 stage system. The technician was able to put the control board through a fault recall sequence which produces the most recent error codes that the furnace was displaying. All the error codes that had been displayed were E240 which is low flame signal. Based on this error code, the technician removed the wiring for the flame sensing rod and tested for milliamps. The flame sensing rod is hardly producing any milliamps despite the flame running. The technician noted the furnace is from 2017 and has not had proper maintenance done. At this time, the technician recommended to have a full burner service completed. The technician presented customer with an estimate for the full burner service including a combustion analysis.

A customer called in stating that her boiler was not working. The technician arrived to diagnose the issue with the boiler. At first the technician believed the issue to be related to the thermostat. The technician checked the thermostat and found the batteries to be dead. Batteries were replaced, the thermostat came on and called for heat. Once the unit was running the technician began his inspection of the boiler. The technician found severe rot near the burners and within the heat exchanger. The exhaust pipe to the chimney was also found to be very rotted. The technician also found the boiler roll out switch to be tripped. This happens when the flame rolls out of the front of the boiler. Technician noticed burn marks on the front of the boiler which proves flame roll out occurred. Technician spoke to the home owner and let them know the unit would have to be shut down for safety reasons.  A specialist was dispatched to the property to provide an estimate to replace the boiler. The customer accepted the estimate to replace the boiler. The install team returned a few days later with the new steam boiler. The installers disconnected the old boiler and removed it. They then leveled and set the new unit. The installers re-piped supply and return lines, gas, flue and electric. A new backflow, auto feeder and return vent were installed. The install team sealed up all holes and connections.

The techs sealed all of the holes and connections.

The customer asked if we could put metal tape on all corners of old coil case, so we also applied the tape. The technicians started unit, and everything was working properly.

The customers were very please with the work we performed and service the technicians provided. They also provided us with a great online review explaining their experience working with Pipe Works Services.

Our technician arrived on site and found the tub in master bathroom was getting hot water no matter what handle was turned on. The tech removed the panel to look underneath and found the piping to the mixing valve was done incorrectly. The hot and the cold sides were piped directly to the valve and the mixed side came out and went to both handles.  He cut out piping at the valve and re-routed from the basement up under the tub and properly piped through the mixing valve to the tub filler. He adjusted the temperature so the hot side produced approximately 120° water and the cold side was cold.

Our technician arrived to a home and shut water off to house and drain down system. He removed shelving needed from closet to access Sheetrock.

He turned water on to test all new connections for leaks and proper function. He install all new chrome shower trim along with metal handle and set temperature. He tested for proper function and placed sheetrock back on to the wall along with  the shelving.

Our customer stated his AC unit is not working. After inspection the tech found indoor unit running but nothing working outside. He found the power coming into unit and indoor equipment communicating with condenser. He also found defective capacitor as well as open/broken winding on compressor. Run winding is broken therefore compressor replacement is needed. The outdoor unit has a very dirty condenser coil as well as visual damage to circuit board terminals. He advised the customer due to age unit is ten years old. Repairs are an option but the system is older and a condenser and coil replacement may be more cost effective long term. 

Our electrician arrived to investigate a generator warning signal at a customers home. He found the generator properly set in auto and warning was flashing for maintenance over due.  As per Pablo’s previous visit on 5/10 the generator has low hours and advised customer to push back the service time till the fall. He checked logs, no errors were recorded recently, checked oil level and color, oil was at proper level and of a good color.
Pablo met with the customer and spoke with him about what's going on to make sure he was properly informed and asked if he had any questions.

They also installed a stand pipe for the washing machine that will tie in to the injector pit in the same room.

Our technician inspected the indoor condensate drain, inspected air filters, cleaned dehumidifier filter, inspected refrigeration levels, and electrical outdoor components. The system is operating properly. He briefly inspected the generator run time as customer has generator PSA schedule today as well, found generator with only 20 hrs of run time. It will be beneficial to customer to perform generator PSA on fall maintenance and allow generator to run a bit more. 

Our technician arrived onsite for an underground drain in the garage not draining properly. Upon further inspection, we found the drain had a cap on it. The technician removed the cap and saw it was more of an emergency overflow drain. It is not connected to any kind of piping system, the opening just goes to a stone bed. He explained this to the customer and informed her of how it is supposed to work. The big problem is due to the age of it, the hinged arm that is supposed to be connected to the cap. Additionally, he discussed different ways to leave the drain with the customer, she opted to leave the cap off the but the grid strainer on so any water that gets into the garage will drain.
