Pressure Tanks Solve Problems with Your Well

Monday, August 29th, 2016

Many homeowners in the Fredericksburg, TX area get their water off the civic grid, from private wells and other sources. It’s often necessary, and it allows the homeowner to address issues directly instead of relying on the city to take care of it. But private wells come with their own array of issues, and when problems crop up, the homeowner is tasked with taking care of them. The good news is that the right plumbing service can do wonders for your home, especially when it comes to specific components either present in your plumbing system already, or ready to be installed should you feel it necessary.

Are Ductless Cooling Systems Right for You?

Monday, March 21st, 2016

Spring is officially here, and while many of us in the Fredericksburg, TX area are still recovering from the winter, now is an excellent time to consider adding a new air conditioner or swapping out an old one whose time has come. Most people tend to think of air conditioners as centralized units, blowing air through a series of ducts to get to the rooms of your home. There is, however, an alternative for those so interested. Ductless air conditioning systems get rid of those ducts in favor of smaller individual units, each controlled separately from the rest and each charged with cooling a single room or section of your home. Ductless systems cost a little more to install than other kinds of air conditioner, so you need to make sure that the benefits they offer match your specific needs. Here’s a few tips to determine whether ductless cooling systems are right for you.

Why You Should Consider an ERV

Monday, December 14th, 2015

Our winters may not be as harsh as others in the Fredericksburg, TX area, but no one here is going to leave a window open during the cold months. With homes becoming more and more airtight, and energy efficiency always a focus for any homeowner, a new problem has emerged: poor ventilation during the winter months. While we would never go so far as to say that drafts serve a purpose (they don’t), you don’t want to sacrifice poor ventilation to have good energy efficiency. So what’s the solution? Consider the installation of an energy recovery ventilator (ERV).
