3 Problems Winter Could’ve Caused to Your AC

April 19th, 2021

AC condenser unit — An air conditioner unit outside a brick home in a residential neighborhood. The air conditioner is in a back yard in the hot summer season. Service industry, working class.

It might not seem like it, but winter took a long time. We’re enjoying living in the moment, as temperatures start to warm up and the flowers begin to bloom. But let’s not forget the harsh winter temperatures, the problems we had with indoor air quality, and everything else that occurred this winter.

Sometimes homeowners forget that their air conditioners were sitting in the garage, basement, or crawlspace for the whole winter. Likewise, they believe their system will just magically turn on the way it did months ago, like nothing has changed. While we wish this were the case, some AC systems require air conditioning repair in Slidell, LA or some kind of maintenance because of the wintertime wear and tear.

Let’s talk about a few problems that the stale, winter air could have cause your AC system and what you can do to mitigate the damage.

It’s Time to Take Your AC Out of Retirement

April 5th, 2021

Down here in the Bayou, we get a lot of mileage out of our air conditioners. It shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that the season for bringing our AC systems out of retirement is already well underway. We’ve had some freak-cold weather for a few weeks, but now it’s time to prepare for the heat.

Wait, don’t just run the system willy-nilly! Just like a car or a different appliance that’s been in retirement for a few months, there will be some things you’ll want to do to make sure it runs optimally. After all, running your system incorrectly now, before the heat has arrived, could cause a breakdown when you need it the most.

Today, we’ll go through and mention why Gretna air conditioning maintenance is so vital during the spring, as well as talk about some best practices for taking your AC out of retirement.

Why We Do The Right Thing for Plumbing Systems

March 22nd, 2021

When it comes to quality plumbing services there are two options—service that works completely and service that doesn’t. The reason why our team focuses on “service honoring the golden rule” is because we’re committed to treating your plumbing system as if it were our own.

Sometimes homeowners get caught in a loop where they’re constantly paying a plumber who they think is helping them with quick plumbing fixes. What’s actually going on, is that this plumber is doing the bare minimum in order to score a few extra bucks from a homeowner that they really don’t care about. It’s despicable, and it’s ultimately why we got into this business in the first place.

When it comes to things like Metairie, LA drain cleaning services—there should really only be one team to call. We’re going to explain why we do the right thing every time, no matter what plumbing work you need to be done.

That being said, there are absolutely things that we can talk about that can better inform you against hazardous DIY projects or that can steer you away from amateur plumbers.

This is information that every master plumber, and even journeyman plumbers will know like the back of their hands. This is why it’s so important to have a proper professional at your side for any plumbing in Mandeville, LA. Only a licensed plumber with the right experience will know how to get these necessary jobs done right.

Let’s get into some ways you can notice if your plumbing system isn’t up to code.

The Benefit of a Consultative Electrical Approach

That being said, there’s a big difference between calling a handyman for some electrical repair and working with a team that provides a consultative approach.

What are the benefits to working with a team that’s going to consult with you? Read on and we’ll talk about why a professional electrician who communicates with you is always going to be worth more than the opposite.
