One of the most vital air conditioning services you can schedule for your home’s cooling system is annual spring maintenance. Spring is quickly running out, however, so is it too late to arrange for professional air conditioning maintenance?
No, not at all! It’s always better to be late than to skip maintenance entirely—and since it’s still spring, it’s not even “late.” We still encourage you to call as soon as possible for service, since it’ll be easier to arrange for a convenient appointment and you’ll beat out any early heat waves. We have great maintenance plans offered at three different tiers to match your budget!
Leaks in the bathroom are serious problems. You don’t want leaks to occur anywhere in your home, but the concentration of plumbing and fixtures in bathrooms makes leaks there highly urgent. You also don’t want to lose the use of those important fixtures for too long.
When the cold days finally get behind us and the warm mid-year winter settles in is a good time to think about how your home furnace performed. If you encountered no major troubles from your furnace over the winter, your house stayed comfortable, and the utility bills were steady, you’ve probably got a furnace in good shape for next winter.
We advise customers to have their heating systems repaired as soon as they notice anything wrong with them. This applies any time of the year, even during early spring when warmer days are just around the corner (or at least we hope so).
The sewer line may not be a part of your home plumbing you think about much. It’s definitely a part you hope you don’t have to have an “up close and personal” encounter with—because that means something is seriously wrong and your home may become unhygienic.
Are you currently in a situation where you can switch from standard forced-air heating (such as using a furnace or heat pump) to using a boiler system? You may be moving into a new home that doesn’t have ducts already built in, or you are building your own house. In these situations, a boiler is not only a possibility, it may be the best choice to keep you warm winter after winter.
When the winter ends (don’t worry everyone, we’re getting there…), you’ll have an opportunity to make upgrades to your heating system. If you think your heater wasn’t performing as well as you expected it to during the winter, one possible solution is to have a brand-new heating system installed. Does that sound too extreme? It’s not if you have a heater that’s too old.
Nobody wants unpleasant odors drifting through their homes. Unfortunately, sometimes parts of the drain and sewer system in homes can suffer damage and clogs, which then sends sewer gases into the house. Smelly plumbing is an unfortunately common problem, and something our plumbers are often fixing for our customers.
The winters here can be rough, although not at the deep-chill levels of many midwestern and northern states. Our homes absolutely need to have heating systems to manage the winters, but we don’t always have to rely on the natural gas furnaces that are the most common central heaters.
When it comes to debating what type of heating system to use for a new home, you have more options than you would if you were only replacing a current system. You can decide on a forced-air system using ductwork, or a radiant system that sends out heat by warming up objects in the room. The most common type of radiant system is a hydronic system, where water is heated in a boiler tank and then circulated through radiators and baseboard heaters in the various rooms.
