Responded to ongoing no cooling complaint on unit U10 in side yard. Previous technicians had rewired thermostat, but system continued to fail to produce cold air since late April/early May. Upon arrival, performed comprehensive diagnostic evaluation of air conditioning system. Inspection revealed severely compromised airflow due to extensive contamination of critical heat exchange components. Evaporator coil showed heavy accumulation of dust, dirt, and biological growth throughout fin surfaces, significantly restricting air passage and heat transfer capability. Condenser coil similarly affected with dense particulate matter lodged between fins, creating blockage that prevented proper heat rejection. Ductwork exhibited substantial debris buildup along seams and interior surfaces, indicating poor air quality and inadequate system maintenance over extended period. Documented conditions with photographic evidence showing extent of contamination on both evaporator and condenser coils. The

Responded to kitchen sink clog on main living level. Upon arrival, discovered the drainage issue was related to severely corroded vertical plumbing stack visible in lower level beneath kitchen. The deteriorated metal pipe showed extensive rust and corrosion throughout, with active water leakage at base requiring bucket placement for containment. Assessed pipe condition and cleared obstruction in drainage system to restore proper flow. Documented extensive corrosion damage to vertical stack for future repair recommendations, as pipe replacement will be necessary to prevent continued leakage and potential water damage to surrounding areas.

Responded to service call for non-functional thermostat. Upon arrival, discovered severe electrical damage to ceiling-mounted wiring with evidence of arcing, charring, and burn-through at wire connection point above thermostat location. Replaced damaged White-Rodgers digital thermostat (model 80P21-0401) with new non-smart traditional thermostat per customer request. Repaired compromised electrical wiring, secured all connections, and verified proper system operation and temperature control functionality.
