Information Every Homeowner Should Know

Most homeowners don’t realize the largest investment in their home is in the Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning. Most people take this for granted until something goes wrong. Know where to shut off your water in an emergency situation.  In a lot of cases if you have a well that supplies you water or if you are on public water the water may need to be treated. Hard or acidic water can cause a great deal of damage to the piping system in your home.  The symptoms for hard water are seeing a white film on your shower walls and green staining in your sinks and toilets you will know your water is acidic if you see a blue staining in your bathroom sinks. By letting these symptoms go you will not only do damage to your plumbing system you will shorten the life of your washing machine and your dishwasher,  If you own a well you should have your water tested periodically for bacteria.  Most of these problems can be solved with a softener, neutralizer and  Ultra violet light system.  Bring in a sample of water and we will test the hardness and acidity of your water free of charge.  If you suspect your water may be contaminated  there is a nominal charge to have Young and Bowman come and take a sample of water and have your water sent away and be tested by a lab.

Are you tired of that window A/C but can’t afford Central Air

There are solutions to this problem, they are called Ductless systems or mini splits.  You may have seen them in your favorite restaurant on the wall.  They have been around a long time but the biggest problem is most people thought they were ugly.  The new systems from Bryant are astatically pleasing and you can have one outdoor unit do as many as three rooms.  These units are heat pumps they will also give you another source of heat.  Do you have a sun room that you just can’t stand to be in when it gets to hot or to cold these are a perfect solution. The price is also much less that what a ducted system would cost and they are extremely efficient.   Contact Young and Bowman and see if this may be a great solution for you.

Important Information If You Have A Water Heater

To our valued customers the changes are now in effect in the water heater industry that anyone who has a hot water heater will effect. These changes are from the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act. They have now reintroduced the 80 gallon water heater.  This will not be the only change all water heaters they have been mandated to increase the insulation value for the tanks, this will mean a water heater may be as much as 2″ wider and taller. This will effect all water heaters electric , gas and oil. If you have any questions please give me a call and I will try to answer anything I can.  Please be aware that these changes are in no way brought about by Bradford White or any water heater manufacturer, these are federal mandates brought out by the government.  Warranties have become a little more complicated in the past you were given a new water heater and the warranty only extended to the  remainder of what was left on the original warranty.  Now you will be given a credit toward the cost of the old water heater you will need to pay the difference of the price increase of the old to the new but you will receive a new 6 year warranty on the new water heater.
