Choose Your Sump Pump Carefully

September 10th, 2018

waterWhy is it that Florida is such a popular vacation spot? Why is it that so many people decide to spend their golden years down here? It’s because of the weather and the beaches, mostly. You do not need us to tell you that our days are full of plenty of sunshine, and that temperatures stay quite warm for nearly the entire year.

Why Does My AC Turn Off So Quickly?

July 30th, 2018

angry-manThe central air conditioner is a major upgrade from the noisy, ineffective, and inefficient air conditioning systems that so many of us have used in the past—provided that it is working properly. Unfortunately, a lot of homeowners seem to think that, just because their air conditioners are functioning, they are functioning properly. This is not necessarily the case, and that type of thinking can land you in some hot water.

Now, you’ll obviously realize that something is wrong with your air conditioner if it is not pumping out cool air in your home at all. However,  you should also pay attention to the way in which the system is running when it is cooling your home. Does it seem to be starting up, running only for a brief period, and then cycling right back down? If so, then it is short cycling. That is a deceptively serious problem for your air conditioning in Tampa, FL.

What You Should Never Put Down the Disposal

July 2nd, 2018

plumber-kitchen-sinkFor the modern homeowner, the idea of living without indoor plumbing is pretty much unthinkable. Why would anyone choose to live that way? We get all of the potable water that we need from the various faucets throughout the house.

Not a bad deal, eh?

Well, there are upgrades to the plumbing system that may not be quite as essential as, say, a toilet. However, they can really help you to make the most of your plumbing user experience. One such appliance is the garbage disposal. Is it an absolute necessity? Maybe not.

Why Is My Air Conditioner Leaking Water?

May 21st, 2018

AC-technicianIf you know anything about the way that a refrigerant-based air conditioning system operates, then you know your system uses the evaporation of refrigerant in order to remove heat from the air in your home. That refrigerant is condensed outdoors, releasing its heat, before repeating the cycle until desired temperatures are met. At no point in the process does water come into play. So what the heck is going on when your air conditioner starts to leak water?

Well, it’s not really a water leak in the way that a water heater may spring one. No, that does not mean that the water surrounding the unit is a figment of your imagination. It just means that the source of that water is not a ruptured pipe, as is so often the case with plumbing leaks. So read on, learn what could be behind this mysterious phenomenon, and whether it means that you need air conditioning repair in Tampa, FL or not.
