Welcome Spring With Open Windows

Cooling Tips

Take the cover off when you start up your air conditioner—leaving it on damages the motor.

Plumbing Tips

Got a leaky faucet that drips every thirty seconds? Fix it and you’ll save a gallon of water every week.

Outdoor Grill Tips

Because grilling gets underway in the springtime, ditch the propane tanks and consider an outdoor gas line to keep you cooking anytime.

SPRING To-Do List

Make sure your air conditioner is in tip-top shape for the season with a professional tuneup—it saves you on costly repairs in the long run.
Time for a sump pump test: pour five gallons of water into the sump pit. If this doesn’t raise the float and activate the pump, schedule a professional repair or replacement.
Keep out pests and hot air by cleaning and replacing torn screens and sealing around your windows.
Lubricate exterior locks, hinges, garage door tracks, and gates.
Sharpen your lawnmower blades and apply fertilizers or weed treatments.
Clean your dryer’s vent pipe to minimize fire risk.

Stay Cool and Save Each Summer

Air Quality Tip

Consider adding a whole-home dehumidifier—your indoor air will feel cooler and help you save on the cost of air conditioning.

Plumbing Tip

Avoid chemical drain cleaners—even just a teaspoonful can ruin a septic field. Instead, use a drain snake on clogs.

Fire Pit Tip

Looking for easy ways to make summer bonfires? Install a gas starter or replace your outdoor fire altogether with a worry-free gas system.

SUMMER To-Do List

To prevent mold and blockages, flush your A/C drain line with bleach every six weeks.
Alleviate summer allergies and cold germs with an air purifier.
For a safer and more enjoyable front- or backyard setting, add outdoor lighting.
Home generators make for great backups when the power goes out.
Preserve your deck and driveway by resealing it every three to five years.

A Feel-Good Fall Starts With These Tips

Heating Tip

Add insulation to your attic—it can save you as much as $600 a year in heating and cooling costs.

Air Quality Tip

If you have mold, don’t reach for bleach—the best defense is a whole-home humidifier.

Plumbing Tip

“Flushable wipes” aren’t actually flushable—stick with toilet paper to avoid clogging your toilet or sewer line.

Fireplace Tip

Have your fireplace cleaned professionally to prevent dangerous buildup and ensure a safe fire-burning season.

FALL To-Do List

Add UV Lights to your heating and cooling system to kill cold and flu viruses. If you already have UV lights, replace the bulbs regularly for maximum air quality.
Clean your gutters each year, even if you have gutter guards.
Annually drain and flush your water heater to maximize its performance and lifespan.
Replace batteries in all your home’s smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and thermostats regularly.
Get all-weather stripping on your doors and windows to prevent drafts and air leaks.
Vacuum your refrigerator coils and clean behind the unit to ensure smooth and efficient operation.

Enjoy a Warm, Toasty Winter

Heating Tips

Want to improve heating and cooling efficiency by 20-30 percent? Have your ducts professionally cleaned and sealed.

Plumbing Tips

Keep cold air out and prevent pipes from freezing by adding a foam protector on your outside spigots.

Air Quality Tips

A whole-home humidifier helps keep your indoor air healthy and prevents the spark of static electricity, which can measure up to 3,000 volts.

WINTER To-Do List

Annual furnace and boiler maintenance helps reduce your heating costs.
Consider a ductless or zoning system to keep heat even in every room.
To keep critters and termites away, store firewood at least 20 feet from your home.
Circulate warm air by setting your ceiling fans to move in a clockwise direction.
Make sure all fire extinguishers in your home are fully charged.
Have your water heater tested to see if a water softener, an iron filter, or reverse osmosis could maximize your heater’s lifespan and reduce energy costs.

FAQs

If your system is older than 10 years and in need of frequent repair, it’s probably time. Replacement should also be considered when major repairs are needed.

Routine maintenance should be done once a year. Most homeowners schedule service in early fall so their systems are ready for the upcoming winter, but it can be done at any time of the year. We recommend getting it done earlier in the year to get ahead of the late-season rush.

Unit age and energy costs are the two biggest signs that your system needs replacing. If your current A/C is 10 or more years old or needs frequent repairs—or your energy bills are sky high—it’s probably time to upgrade it.

There are many factors that can affect the energy consumption of your home, including ductwork leakage and overall ductwork condition. We have ductwork and sheet metal capabilities and offer duct cleaning, duct sealing, air duct repair, and sheet metal installation for a variety of duct systems.

Ideally, your home’s humidity levels should fall between 30 and 50 percent. The easiest way to balance those levels is with a whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier. These systems can help ease problems associated with improper indoor humidity such as dry and itchy skin, allergies and colds, and even static electricity.

There are several products that can help, depending on what you’re allergic to. For example, air cleaners can remove up to 95 percent of dust and pet dander in your home. Air purifiers use UV lights to kill viruses, bacteria, mold, pollen, and more.
