Let’s face it: we are all looking for ways to save a few extra bucks each month. In fact, if there is one thing that you’ll often hear HVAC technicians talk about it is energy efficiency and why it is so important. When your home is energy efficient, you’ll spend less time worrying about costly repairs and high energy bills. Of course, winter here in Texas is anything but harsh. However, it is still important to ensure that your HVAC system is as efficient as possible. So, how do you do so?
There are many ways to boost energy efficiency, one of which is to take control of the ways in which you heat and cool your home.

The water coming into your home is quite valuable. You depend on it every day for cleaning, cooking, washing, and drinking, so it is important that it remains safe and clean. Sometimes, however, the water entering your home isn’t exactly what you’d expect. Perhaps it has been contaminated, riddled with sediment, or just doesn’t smell quite right. If this is the case, you need a water treatment system.
We can all admit it: winter here doesn’t exactly require a heavy coat and a pair of mittens. However, the temperature can dip well into the 60s, and for many of us, that is just too cold. During the winter, we turn to our heaters to keep us warm and comfortable. But, what happens if you find yourself dealing with a handful of heater issues? For many homeowners, the decision to replace or repair their older heating system can be quite a difficult one to make. So, what do you do?
We expect that many of you have found yourselves browsing DIY websites for hours on end in search of fun, creative projects you can do at home. Certainly, you can build yourself a new centerpiece or even paint an old coffee table, but there are some projects that are better left to the professionals.
You depend on your water well for clean, usable water, so there is nothing worse than finding out that there is something wrong with your well. Issues with water wells are hard to diagnose, as there are a variety of components where the problem could be occurring. However, there are some definite tell-tale signs that suggest there is a problem with your well.

Do you think that “good enough” is good enough when it comes to the way in which your home heating system operates? If so, think again! You, like any other homeowner, deserve the best performance possible from your home heating system. That simply won’t be your experience, however, if your heater is short cycling.

If you are poking around heating blogs this time of year, you are probably going to encounter quite a few posts telling you what to look out for in terms of red flags that your system is in trouble.

That being said, we are going to take issue if you’re not calling us when the need for a plumber arises. And after today’s post, “Well, I didn’t realize that I really needed to call a professional plumber” will no longer be a valid excuse!
We’re just barely out of the hottest time of the year, and these people want us to start thinking not only about our heaters, but what might go wrong with them? Give us a break, will you?
