3 Wire Screw

Some people may not appreciate this as much as others, but there are 3 wires under the same screw!! Only 1 wire can go under a screw terminal.

96% Furnace

This is the indoor counterpart to the 16 SEER A/C. This is a Rheem 96% efficient gas furnace with A/C.

Bad Junction Box

There was actually a ceiling fan mounted to this. It’s really a box extension that somebody used as a ceiling box. They even filled the little missing corner with electrical tape.

Bent CSST

Check out the nice sharp bend right at the connector fitting. Not cool.

Clogged Boiler 1

This is a boiler’s heat exchanger before I cleaned it. I had to empty my shop vac twice while cleaning this boiler out.

Clogged Boiler 2

This is what that boiler’s heat exchanger is supposed to look like. Unbelievable!

Clogged Vent Pipe

This is a chimney vent pipe that is almost clogged with scale and dirt.

Commercial Water Heater

Here is a water heater that I installed in a commercial setting.

Coral Element

Here is a new water heater element beside one from a house with hard water. This new one doesn’t have a chance.

Corroded Neutral

The customers were complaining of their lights flickering. If let go any longer, they could’ve started to fry their electronics.

Cat Hair Coil

This is one of my favorites. It is an A/C coil that has cat hair woven into it.

Cracked Service Cable

This is view of the top of a service cable on the side of a house. The weather head cap has been missing for a while, and as a result the sun has destroyed the wire’s insulation.

Dirty Blower 2

Another blower fan that had been “serviced” regularly.

Dirty Evap Coil

This is the underside of an indoor A/C coil. Keeping your filters changed will prevent this.

Dirty Filter

This filter was from a rental house. Don’t rely on the tenants to keep up on this stuff. Make sure the filters are being changed.

Heat Pump Install

I built this nice platform out of treated lumber to get this heat pump unit off the ground.

Insulated Vent Duct

Wrapping this dryer exhaust vent with insulation will keep moisture from condensing inside of it and leaking into the house.

New Furnace

Here is another Rheem furnace install.

Paper In Blower

This is a piece of paper that I found in someone’s blower fan in their furnace. Look at the mold growing on it.

Water Heater Scale

This is looking inside of a water heater from the bottom element hole. The bottom 6 inches of the water heater were filled with scale, essentially rendering the bottom element useless.

Typical Panel

A typical looking panel installation from Sheaffer Mechanical.

Tankless Water Heater

A nice Tankless Water Heater.

Stainless Pump Tank

This is what your well pump pressure tank should look like. Stainless Steel fittings are the only way to go nowadays.

Scaled Element

Here is another classic example of what to expect with hard water.

Pipe Fix 3

I packed small stone dust (cinders) all around the pipes to secure them and to protect them.

Pipe Fix 2

Here I have replaced all of the leaking copper drain pipes. These were about 18 inches down.

Pipe Fix 1

This customer had a leaking pipe underneath the cement floor of his bathroom. So I cut it up and exposed the pipes.
