Keeping It Clean

By nature, some invasive projects create dust and debris. What separates the polished contractor from the amateur is containing the mess. We treat your home as if it were our home. And at the end of the day, not only do you have a difficult repair completed in a thorough and professional manner, but your house is clean. Pictured below are Ernie and Bill erecting an onsite containment tent in a customers’ living room.

Tri-State Award Winner

Proud to be a recipient of two Top Dealer Tri-State Awards for York heating & air conditioning equipment for 2010 & 2012. Presented to us by our friends at Virginia Air Distributors. It’s a nice looking award, but in reality represents an extraordinary amount of hard work from the installers in the field to the office staff and, in particular, focused ownership.

Elementary

Of the roughly 112 elements on the Periodic Chart of Elements one that you are unlikely to see is a heating element for an electric hot water tank.  But if you wake up to a cold shower one morning, it may become the most important element of your day. As evidenced by the adjoining photo, even an electric hot water tank has a weak link. Under a slow daily attack by harsh water conditions, the protective  insulator around the heating element will deteriorate. While the elements are replaceable the cost effectiveness is often a poor choice  when the tank is beyond seven years old.  Simply put, you do not buy a new set of tires for a car that’s on its way to the junk yard.

My Hot Water Isn’t Worth A Dime

Unless you’re a Pioneer, no hot water for your shower first thing in the morning is not a great way to start your day. If the hot water tank is beyond seven years old, then conventional wisdom would dictate you should be installing a new tank. But what if your day starts off with you having an acceptable amount of hot water for your shower? It’s not the ideal volume and temperature, but it’s enough for a quick shower. And a visual inspection indicates the tank is working and it isn’t showing any signs of age. But, as shown in the photo below, the real issue may be a hidden problem inside the tank. A severe buildup of rust caused by a variety of factors but most often a condition of an anode rod exceeding its life expectancy. Without getting overly technical, every conventional hot water tank has  either an aluminum or magnesium sacrificial anode rod inside that helps reduce rust and corrosion. By nature, it deteriorates over time (sacrificial) and consequently its effectiveness is diminished. Time for a new hot water tank. Unless you’re in the mood for a Pioneer shower.

When Trees Are Not Your Friend

While everyone enjoys the beauty and environmental benefits of trees, there are times when trees are not your friend. In fact, they can prove to be a formidable adversary. A tree whose roots have invaded the sewer system of your home is a case in point. It can often lead to excavation of your main sewer line under the basement floor and in worse case scenarios requires additional excavation from the house to the street. And a blocked sewer drain demands immediate attention because it can render your home unlivable.  Main line blockage is a progressive nuisance problem. If you notice irregular drain issues a good diagnostic measure is to have the main line inspected by a camera snake for visual confirmation. As evidenced by the photo below what lurks below your basement floor can be alarming.

Request a serive appointment now.

My Air Conditioner Unit Looks Like It’s Making Ice

Your contacts aren’t dirty and that’s no optical illusion it’s ice. The presence of ice on the air conditioner, refrigeration lines or even inside above the furnace is a visual cue that the system is in need of service. There are numerous issues that can cause the formation of ice. For example, too much or too little refrigerant in the air conditioning system will cause the formation of ice. The presence of ice should be viewed as warning sign to a homeowner. Don’t wait till you “NEED” cooling for the big summer party. Call us today for service to avoid the cold shoulder from your sweating party guests
