Monday, September 3rd, 2018

plugWe get it—we do not really give our electrical system all that much attention.

Power Levels Are Important with a New Heating System

Tuesday, January 16th, 2018

heating-repairs-repalcementWinters are fairly mild in our neck of the woods, but our heating systems still get called into use on a regular basis. If your heater is on its last legs, you may need to get it replaced before the spring. That can lead to a bit of a scramble as you work to get your new heater put in before the next cold front arrives. That doesn’t mean, however, that you should skimp on the necessary steps toward ensuring that your new heating system is working exactly the way it should.

In particular, you should watch out for the comparative power levels of your new heating system. You’re probably aware that an underpowered heater will not be a good fit for your home. It will run constantly — elevating both the monthly costs and the strain on the system — while never really getting your house warm.  But an overpowered heating system can be just as bad.

Monday, July 24th, 2017

rooftop-commercial-acTexas summers are hot and brutal, which means air conditioners are an absolute necessity on a daily basis. Indeed, they’re as important to your home as plumbing and electricity during the hot summer months, and the same is doubly true if you’re operating a business or managing an office space. Most of us spend the bulk of our days at an office, a retail business, an industrial site, or a school, all of which require commercial AC systems to function.
