THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VITO

Arrived on site and met the head engineer if the building he took us inside and showed up multiple areas where there was leaking pipe. after we finished I looked around and started making a material list of the things I needed to complete the job. I told the head engineer that I was going to get material at the supply house and he told me he was going to figure out which valve shuts off the part of the building where we were working at. after I got the material and came back he explained to me that there was no work that was going to be done today and they actually just needed a estimate of what we were going to do. I'm going to upload pictures and whatever is in each picture needs to be replaced and quoted by a estimator. Thank you for choosing vito.

arrived onsite, customer showed me kitchen faucet with low rate of flow. also has other faucets with same issue. intermittent "humming" sound when running water too. went to utility room with water meter and PRV. connected pressure gauge to boiler drain to the left of PRV. pressure reading is 75 psi which is the highest pressure at which the valve can be set. however, turned PRV screw 2 revolutions clockwise to see if pressure increases. by adjusting the PRV, the humming sound should cease. determined that the main issue is not the pressure but the aerators on individual faucets. aerator screens build up debris over time and need to be cleaned or replaced. advised customer that they would need to change kitchen faucet spray head in order to increase flow rate on kitchen faucet. handle on powder room faucet was loose and coming off cartridge when running water. tightened set screw on handle to set it in place and also replaced 2.2 GPM aerator as a courtesy. ran water and noticed increas

Backflow Preventer Replacement: Replaced backcheck 2 with a new one and now it passed the test well, both checks. Tested and will get results submitted.

Commercial Plumbing, Toilet Not Flushing Properly: arrived at the job site and he showed me where was the best way to sneak the line. I looked for a clean out but they didn't have one so I took the toilet on the loading dack out for me to be able to sneak it ... I try multiple times with the heads and with out the head to sneak it but the toilets are back to back with a T so it hard for it to go down the pipe. I as to open the wall to sneak it threw the vent but she need to get approved. so I recommend to open the wall and put a clean out for the future and for it not to have the issue with the T. THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VITO

arrived on site to look at another faucet that was having problems, customer showed me a 3 compartment sink that was constantly running hot water, determined that the stem likely has gone bad and might need to be replaced, possibility the entire faucet needs to be replaced, customer does not know which to go with at the time and will ask the owners what they want to do, customer opted to leave hot water off for now as the building is not being used, cleaned up work area and left

07/11/2024 No AC when I arrived the thermostat was set at 70 and it was reading 72 indoor air temperature. The unit is a YORK PACKAGE UNIT located on the roof with access. I checked the three filters inside the unit and I found them extremely clogged. 2x 15/20/1 and 1x 14/25/1. All three need to be ordered and replaced. also the condenser coil is clogged and in need of a cleaning. After the work is done the temperature is supposed to drop a few degrees lower. Right now the unit is running and providing some AC. We will have to contact owner and get approval for the job and return to do it. dispatch fee $235 3x filters $145 Coil clean $$620 Total $1000.00 I called the owner and he has agreed on the work.

Airflow Issues Not Cooling Properly 07/10/2024 Found system slightly low on 410A, this could be to not properly recharge after coil replacement. added 2 lbs to system and System now has a 20 degree split and unit working better. Temperature in master bedroom is 2 degrees cooler then the thermostat reading. No other concern at this time

06/27/2024 Today, I arrived on site and found the following issues with the system: Recommended Repairs: System needs a charge due to low pressures. Possible leak at the AC unit, but unable to confirm without UV light. Noticable damage to the AC unit's coil. Additional Service: Check if the compressor side has a leak, as the system's evap coil was recently replaced. Overall, the system is currently cooling with a 12 split, but it requires attention to address the low pressures and potential leak. The damage to the AC unit's coil should also be addressed.

06/25/2024 Replaced coil for goodman air handler in attic. Did nitrogen pressure test, pulled a vacuum and recharged system. Tested and now ok, checked temperature differential and ok for now. Customer will be billed. I was dispatched to assist Jaime with an in-attic coil replacement. Old coil was found to have a leak and a replacement was scheduled. The system was off with the fan on when I arrived. After cutting the copper piping and pulling the useless coil out, the new one was installed into the furnace and the copper piping was brazed for reconnection. The new coil and copper connections were checked for leaks, none were discovered. The system was vacuumed down to 500 microns and charged with R-410A.

Air Conditioner Not Cooling 06/18/2024 Upstairs system has no AC, we recently recharge with Leak sealer and dye. Noticed coil upstairs has several leaks. Unit is from 2017 but has been very problematic. Advised customer the cost to change out coil is approximately $3200. The other option is to replace air Handler or even consider full system replacement. Customer said she will speak to Jeremy and husband and let us know which route they want to take. Also advised we have financing available if they were to want to replace system

NO AC CALL ON TWO UNITS. the client advised me that both units in the house were having trouble. I checked the first unit down in the basement, the air handler was on , the filters were a bit clogged but the outdoor unit was not running. I did my diagnosis and I came to a conclusion that that there was some miss wirings . I did the repair and i wired it up correctly and the unit came on. I also recommend client replacing the capacitor due to low capacitance. I checked the temperature split and got a 20 difference. Minor repair, new Capacitor, Plus Diagnostic fee for the first unit. I checked the second unit. both air handler and outdoor unit were running. I checked temperature split and got 12 difference. I checked my pressures outside with my gauges and found low pressures. it is certain that there is a minor leak somewhere. I recommend adding a leak seal and Dye 410A. if the leak is minor than the leak seal should seal it up . if not than the dye will come out i dont know when , I
