Ice in your freezer is usually a good sign, especially if you’ve got an ice maker or a few sets of ice cube trays. They’re perfect for those summer drinks that keep you cool and comfortable. However, ice in other areas of your home is usually a bad sign, particularly when it comes to your air conditioner. Your AC isn’t a freezer, and it’s not supposed to cool things down to 32°F or below. If it does, then you’ll start to notice some pretty severe problems that we’ll get to down below.
We want to start this blog post by pointing you in the right direction. If you do have ice growing on your air conditioning system, we urge you to call our team for air conditioning repair in Helotes. Our team can get to work fixing the problem and ensuring that the cool air doesn’t get caught growing ice, and is instead sent through your air ducts where it belongs.
However, there are less obvious situations that might still require emergency plumbing support, but you might not know it at the time. Many plumbing problems are insidious, meaning they’re a lot worse than they seem, and a professional plumber might be your best solution in the moment.
If you peruse online articles regarding the protection of residential plumbing systems, you’ll probably notice that there is a seasonal shift in focus once the winter months begin to approach. “How to Keep Pipes from Bursting this Winter,” “Preventing Frozen Pipes,” and so on. However, we here in Texas deal with more extreme summer heat than we do winter cold. That is why we’re reclaiming the seasonal plumbing topics for ourselves, and putting a hot-weather spin on them!
Heating season has officially arrived, and that means you’ll be running your furnace or your boiler on a regular basis between now and spring. If your system runs into problems, you’re going to want to spot it sooner rather than later. Spotting an issue now and getting it addressed with a repair session from a trained technician can save you money and effort, especially when compared to getting caught flat-footed with a breakdown in the middle of the coldest day of winter. 
Traditional heating and cooling systems tend to follow a few well-defined models: blowing heated or cools air through ducts into your home, for example, or boilers that use steam or heated water to provide warmth for the home. They’re popular and efficient systems and if your home has such a system, there’s no need to change it. (We don’t believe in fixing what isn’t broke around here.)

Hard water is a recurring problem in our neck of the woods, and while it’s not actively dangerous, it can still cause a lot of issues. It’s simply water with an excess mineral content, usually calcium or magnesium, which can be absorbed harmlessly in the human body (as well as the bodies of pets and livestock). Despite that, it can still affect your quality of life in a number of ways.
