While most of us don’t spend a lot of time thinking about air quality, it’s paramount to understand how polluted air can affect you. If you suspect poor air quality in your home, don’t hesitate to give our team a call. The HVAC contractors at Parley’s PPM Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning would be glad to listen to your concerns and evaluate your situation.
Each winter, cold temperatures strain your plumbing system. If you’re not careful, you could end up with frozen pipes, poor water heater performance, and clogged drains as icy weather takes its toll. Fortunately, you can prepare your plumbing for dropping temperatures to help prevent many of these issues.
Is your indoor air overly dry? If you live in Utah, the answer is probably yes. Our arid climate means there’s very little moisture in the air, especially in the winter when your furnace saps the air of what little humidity it has. A host of uncomfortable symptoms are associated with dry air. Fortunately, installing a humidifier can help.
Every drain in your home carries wastewater from sinks, bathtubs, and toilets to the main sewer line. This large pipe sends all your waste to the municipal sewer system or your septic tank, depending on your home’s setup.
With your busy schedule and endless to-do list, HVAC maintenance may not be the first thing on your mind. However, if you neglect your furnace and air conditioner, you run the risk of sudden breakdowns, rising repair costs, higher utility bills, and a shorter lifespan for your equipment.
Water leaks of all kinds spell trouble for your plumbing system. A toilet leaking at the base is particularly problematic. If you notice a little water leaking every time you flush, don’t ignore it!
Fall is the ideal time of year for HVAC maintenance. By getting your furnace tuned up before winter arrives, you’ll enter the heating season with complete confidence. Thanks to your efforts, you can expect lower heating costs, fewer unexpected breakdowns, safe and reliable performance, and a longer system lifespan.
If your current heating system leaves you with cold hands and icy toes, it might be time for an upgrade. To avoid incurring high installation costs, most people stick with the same type of heater they already have, be it forced-air or radiant heating.
Rising energy costs and cold weather have made for an expensive home heating season so far. You may have no control over these factors, but there are still plenty of things you can do to promote more efficient heating for the rest of winter.
