DID YOU KNOW…….

WHAT TO DO TO GET YOUR HOME "ENERGY READY" FOR SUMMER

Before it gets too hot, it's time to make sure you're ready for hot weather. This doesn't mean running out and buying the latest swim wear but go ahead treat your self. It means checking your home's heat and air-conditioning system.

First, change your filters in your heating/cooling system. Change them regularly - at least monthly. Replace air conditioner filters. Dirty filters restrict airflow and can cause the system to run longer, increasing energy use. Replace filters monthly for maximum benefit. (Save: 1-2 percent)
Next change your thermostat over to "cool" and test the system by turning the temperature down. If the air conditioner does not turn on, first check to make sure no breakers are tripped. If you can't figure out the problem, call us out. Calling early may keep you from making an "emergency" call when the temperatures are soaring and the repair people are too busy.
Turn up your thermostat If your cooling system turns on; make sure it is putting out adequate cooling. If it's not, and you can't figure out the problem, call us out. Make sure you set it at 78 degrees.
Setting your thermostat to 78 degrees when you are home and 85 degrees or off when you are away saves. Using ceiling or room fans allows you to set the thermostat higher because the air movement will cool the room. Always take into account health considerations and be sure to drink plenty of fluids in warm weather. (Save: 1 - 3 percent per degree, for each degree the thermostat is set above 72 degrees)
Invest in a new air-conditioning unit If your air conditioner is on the way out, buy an ENERGY STAR® air conditioner. We install them. (Save: up to 10 percent) If your air conditioner needs replacement do it BEFORE the HOT WEATHER HITS because heating & air conditioning repair people will be very busy. And more than likely, some other things around your home need attention as well. Consider changing your old thermostat to a programmable one. You can save up to $100 a year by using a new set-back thermostat.
Install an ENERGY STAR® programmable thermostat. (Save: 1-3 percent)
Other ideas…..
Clean warm-air registers, baseboard heaters, and radiators as needed; make sure they're not blocked by furniture, carpeting, or drapes.
Keep the window coverings closed during the day to prevent solar gain.
If you cover your air conditioner's condenser unit (the part that is outside the house) for the winter, take off the cover and hose down the coils. Clear areas around the condenser unit so that it has full air flow.
Install ceiling fans or whole house fans to help reduce your need to use the air conditioner.

We are here for you. Just give us a call. 734-259-8732 just a phone call away. 24/7 Emergency Services as well.

With the nice weather today reminds us Spring is finally here (well close 13 more days) and it’s time to make some quick checks around the house spring is Perfect Time for Plumbing Check-ups and Repairs: Here are some quick and immediate plumbing tips for you to consider as the weather starts to warm.

You may have had a pipe that froze during the winter..Check out the faucet and hose bibs to make sure water flows freely and for leaks – this is especially common where hoses have been left on the hose bib for the winter. . If an outdoor faucet drips or if there is leakage inside your home the first time the hose is turned on the water supply pipe could have frozen and the once frozen pipe can be expanded and may have cracked. This pipe will leak and should be replaced as soon as possible before water damage can occur a leak in your home can be associated with the first time you turn the hose on after winter temperatures
Pour a gallon of water into infrequently used drains (including floor drains) to fill the trap and prevent odors from entering the house. Slow floor drains should be snaked to ensure they will carry away water quickly in the event of a flood
Stop Flooding Check Your Sump Pump for Proper Function If your home has a sump pump, make sure it operates properly by pouring a few buckets of water into the sump pit. The pump should quickly turn on, discharge the water then shut off without any problems, allow the flow of water and then it to turn itself off automatically If it does not call us at 734-259-8732– before it completely burns out. March's Special is New Sump Pump Check out our website for details.
Install a backflow valve in the floor drain if you live in an area where sewers sometimes backup into homes. This device will prevent future backups.
Inspect for slow leaks in your home by taking a reading on your water meter before bedtime. The next morning, without using any water overnight, take another reading. If the reading has changed you have a leak that should be repaired.
Install flood alarms. Like a smoke alarm, a flood alarm is a battery-operated device that sounds an alarm when it comes in contact with water. It alerts you to potential flooding or leaks
Make sure yard drains, gutters and downspouts are cleaned out, open, and free of debris example: bird nests leaves, sticks etc. These should be clear and free of debris to ensure proper operation. This time of year we experience a large amount of rainfall and you want to make sure you’re ready.
Check your kitchen and bathroom for faucet leaks. Repairing these will help save water and money. Make sure you have filters on each of your drains. This is to prevent hair, soap and other substances that can block your drains.
Check your toilet for leaks. A quick and cheap way to do it is put a few drops of food coloring in your toilet tank. If there is a leak, the food color will end up in the bowl in half an hour. While you’re at it, check the bowl for any cracks or leaks. Check your toilets to make sure they flush properly. If you must hold or shake the handle, you should replace the parts of the toilet which are responsible for flushing. They do not cost much and in fact will save you money on your water bill.
Finally, clean your shower head with vinegar to remove mineral deposits that can clog.

Did you know?

There are many ways to save money in your home....Here are some plumbing ideas to conserve water and save energy.... save money and have less of an impact on the environment

Save hundreds of gallons of water each week. Just install low-flow showerheads and aerator faucets.
Update your toilet. Toilets made before 1993 usually use at least 3.5 gallons per flush, whereas new high-efficiency models use less than 1.3 gallons.
Installing a new toilet could save a family of four more than $90 on their water bill annually, $2,000 over the lifetime of the toilet.
Fix toilet leaks and faucet drips. Did you know a leaky toilet can waste 73,050 gallons of water a year? Or that a faucet dripping at once per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water a year?
Think about investing in a tankless water heater. (See our website for This months special on this) You’ll reduce heating costs and water waste because you won’t have to let the water run while it heats up.
Wash only full loads of laundry. Refer to the appropriate load size selection on the washing machine to save water.
Put some of these simple “green plumbing” ideas to work around your home and you’ll be doing your fair share to protect our environment.

Did you know???? Despite what you may have heard, not everything can go into a garbage disposal. Here are five quick tips :
1. Keep it small – Your garbage disposal does a lot to make work in your kitchen easier. Do it a favor and keep waste small. Break or cut up waste before it goes into the disposal. Small pieces make the disposal’s job easier.
2. Know the No-No’s - Rice and pasta- No matter how much water you run or how long you run the appliance, you can never break rice or pasta down small enough. Both items swell when they are in contact with water, so the small pieces will eventually gather in the trap and swell until it is closed.
Animal bones- The garbage disposal is just not strong enough to break these down small enough to fit through. Animal bones are the most common thing that jams disposals.
Grease- The grease will eventually solidify and clog a portion, or all, of your drain. Avoid pouring fats or cooking oils down the drain. Don’t foget to wipe congealed grease from pots.
Egg shells- Despite what you may have heard, egg shells do not sharpen disposal blades Mostly they just end up clogging the line.
Any kind of stringy or tough-peeled vegetable- This includes asparagus, lettuce, celery and potato peels. Maybe in a small amount the disposal can handle it, but I wouldn’t try it. Never put hard to grind, shredded, stringy fibrous waste poultry skins, carrots, celery, pumpkin pulp, banana peels, coffee grinds, onion skin, artichoke leaves or starchy (potato peelings).
3. Keep it cool - When using your garbage disposal run cool water before, during, and after. Hot water tends to melt any fats that may be present in the waste. While this may sound like a good thing, any residual fat that sticks to the inner lining of your disposal can re-solidify and potentially cause problems for your disposal.
4. Clean it up - Especially before you put it through the pressures of the holiday season, it would be wise to clean your disposal. While running cold water, put a small handful of ice cubes down the disposal and turn it on. This process helps clear unwanted buildup from the inner lining and helps sharpen the blades. You might also want to use a paper towel to wipe of both sides of the rubber drain entrance when the disposal is off.
5. Freshen it up - Cut up a citrus peel and send it through the disposal. The zest will give off a nice sent.
Don’t forget the old adage of “less is more” definitely applies to the garbage disposal. Only small amounts of table scraps should go into the disposal.
