Learn about the different types of equipment, the benefits of each, costs, efficiency, lifespan, warranties, and maybe most importantly is your distribution of conditioned air in your living space. Of course by that I am referring to ductwork and how air moves throughout your space. Great airflow is the beginning of comfort, finding someone who understands that is paramount.Earlier this week, not a moment too soon given the extreme heat we are facing in the Susquehanna Valley, we had a Daikin Fit 2 ton heat pump installed at our home. This system is a fully variable speed modulating/communicating system. This system replaces a nearly 30 year old oil forced air furnace and dinosaur of a central AC. No more $1500.00 oil bills at the beginning of the heating season, no more smells of exhaust and carbon monoxide alarms going off on windy days, no more uncertainty of annual costs…just clean, reliable, quiet, energy efficient heating and cooling.Words/phrases like wow, I never thought, I’ve never been so comfortable, and I can’t hear it come to mind when speaking about this new system. To say we are impressed or pleased is a gross under-representation of how happy we are. The humidity in the home is finally under control. The temperature is even in every room. No more noisy floor fans, obnoxious window units, and wildly different temperatures room to room. No more humidifiers sitting around the house in the winter to clean and listen to. This new system does it all, literally everything. A simple command to Alexa, a quick swipe on your smart phone, or a touch of the Daikin One+ thermostat and our adjustments have been made from anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection. A gentle blue glow on the wall indicates the system is actively cooling the home while an orange glow signifies heating is in progress.Jeff, Levi, and the distinguished installers and designers at Warner made it possible. After having other companies quote as any responsible homeowner would do, it was clear within minutes that these were the folks for the job. They were early to their appointment, had clean vehicles, professional, and spelled out exactly what to expect from start to finish. They even got our system installed ahead of schedule. Day one was crazy awesome. The old junk was removed and hauled away and existing duct modifications began. Day two wrapped up the new design changes, the overwhelming remainder of the install, wiring, and other checks. Day three only lasted four hours and consisted of commissioning and startup of the new system. We literally went from old, inefficient, and outdated to modern, sleek, and amazing in about 20-24 hours of total work.Looking back, our biggest regret is waiting so long. For years we dealt with what we had because we didn’t realize we could do this and actually afford it. Call Warner for your home comfort needs, ask about the Daikin Fit for your home, and begin your journey to being part of the Warner family and comfort exceeding your expectations.We even capture our condensate water to water our plants with! A win for us and the environment we cherish.Wanda C.The two reasons I work with Warner Service are: I have never had to have a call back and, more importantly, the talent of the people. Your people are in the top 1% of the many companies I have worked with in both private and commercial repairs and construction.- James D .It's been a great experience, and a vast improvement over our previous service vendor.

Now into its third generation of family ownership, R. W. Warner remains committed to our core values and ensuring that the needs of our customers and clients are our first priority. We are exceptionally proud to share the story of our heritage with you.1937: A Family Business Is BornIn 1937, Reese William Warner and a friend opened a small plumbing business called Warner and Winpigler, which they ran out of the Warner home. The company “headquarters” was his kitchen table, with his wife Mary Jo handling the books. Finding ample work modernizing homes with indoor plumbing and heating systems, they expanded to a shop on South Market Street. Following World War II, R.W. began working for some of the area’s first post-war housing projects.A New Name and FaceThe business name became R.W. Warner Plumbing and Heating in the early 1950s, and R.W.’s young son began working for the company while in high school. In 1960, R.W., Jr. joined the family business full time and the company moved to 5th Street. “Bill” was particularly interested in pursuing commercial, industrial, and government contracts; the firm continued to grow in that direction, incorporating in 1966.The Second Generation Takes the ReinsBill took over as president in 1973, and R.W. became chairman of the board. By following his father’s unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, the enterprise continued its expansion and moved to its current location on Monroe Avenue. Although he retired from daily business operations in the mid-1980s, R.W. continued to serve on the board of directors and was also appointed to the Maryland State Plumbing Board by the Governor.Smart GrowthBy the mid-1980s, R. W. Warner, Inc. had established itself as one of the pre-eminent mechanical contracting companies in the region. Recognizing the value of being able to offer a total mechanical package, Bill elected to grow through acquisition, and in 1986 purchased a long-time subcontractor to the company — Kaempf and Harris, a sheet metal fabrication and installation company. With the ability to control the entire mechanical package from fabrication through installation, the company continued to expand its services to many of the regions most prominent general contractors.A Third Generation of QualityIn 1988, Bill’s son, Matt Warner, started working for the family business full time after earning his Business and Finance degree from Mount St. Mary’s. Matt learned the ropes as a Project Manager and quickly worked his way up to General Manager of R.W. Warner. “One of the reasons our company has succeeded across generations was the relationship my father and I had in the business,” explains Bill. “He always allowed me to move forward and be creative. Now I’m doing this with Matt as he assumes responsibility for the day-to-day operations.” Matt has been instrumental in furthering the company’s growth, having established Warner Construction in 1993 to support the mechanical division, and ensuring the company’s technology remains cutting-edge. By 1998, the transition to the third generation was complete, with Matt being named as CEO.Customer ReviewsView All ReviewsLeave us a ReviewWhen shopping for an HVAC contractor it is imperative that a homeowner educate themselves in advance.

Emergency ServicesHome>Emergency ServicesBook NowSign Up For Maintenance PlanEmergency HVAC and Plumbing Services: Rapid Response for Your Critical NeedsEmergencies strike at the most inconvenient times. These situations can quickly escalate from an inconvenience to a major headache, disrupting your routine and potentially causing damage to your property. But with Warner Service, you're never alone in facing them. Established in 1937 and evolving through three generations of family management, our team offers 24/7 emergency services designed to tackle any and all HVAC and plumbing challenges. Don't wait for a minor issue to become a major problem. Call us today, and let us restore your comfort and peace of mind.What Constitutes an Air Conditioning Emergency?When unexpected issues arise, they can disrupt daily operations in commercial settings and create uncomfortable or even hazardous conditions at home, especially for vulnerable populations such as the elderly or those with health issues. Here are the key indicators that your residential or commercial air conditioning system requires professional repair:Complete System Failure: The most pressing emergency is when your air conditioner ceases to function, particularly during intense heat. This outage could stem from electrical malfunctions, compressor failures, or other significant system breakdowns that demand immediate professional attention.Refrigerant Leaks: Signs of a refrigerant leak, such as hissing sounds, ice formation on evaporator coils, or inadequate cooling performance, should never be ignored. Beyond reducing the efficiency of your system, refrigerant leaks pose environmental risks and could be detrimental to health if not swiftly addressed.Electrical Problems and Burning Smells: Any burning odors emanating from your AC unit could indicate serious electrical issues or overheating components. These problems not only threaten the integrity of your air conditioning system but also present severe fire hazards, making it crucial to address the issue immediately.Water Leaks: While normal levels of condensation are expected in both residential and commercial AC units, excessive water leakage or pooling indicates a drainage system malfunction. Left unattended, this can lead to significant water damage and mold growth, which are costly and disruptive to rectify.Don't let a failing AC system compromise your comfort or safety this summer. Warner Service is here to help with 24/7 emergency AC repair services. Our NATE-certified technicians are ready to respond with speed and professionalism, ensuring your system is diagnosed promptly and restored to peak performance. Contact us anytime—day or night—to get your air conditioning back online. Call now or schedule your appointment online.Identifying Heating Emergencies: When Immediate Action is RequiredDuring the colder months, your heating system becomes a crucial aspect of your safety and well-being. Understanding what constitutes a heating emergency can help you take swift action to prevent property damage and ensure the health and comfort of the occupants. Here are critical signs that indicate your heating system needs immediate professional attention:No Heat Output: If your heating system suddenly stops producing heat, this is an urgent issue, particularly during freezing temperatures. This could stem from a variety of problems, such as thermostat malfunctions, pilot light issues, or mechanical failures within the furnace.Unusual Noises: Any sudden or loud noises coming from your heating unit, like banging, whistling, or grinding, can indicate serious mechanical problems that require immediate attention to prevent further damage or potential safety risks.Carbon Monoxide Alerts: Any indication of carbon monoxide production, such as the activation of your CO detector or signs of soot around the furnace, is a critical emergency. Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that can be lethal, making it essential to address any potential leaks immediately.Persistent and Unusual Smells: A persistent burning smell or any odor of gas (in the case of natural gas heaters) could signify dangerous conditions that might lead to fire hazards or explosions. It's crucial to turn off your heating system immediately and call the professionals.Don't wait for the cold to become unbearable or for hazardous conditions to escalate. Contact us 24/7 for prompt and professional heating services.Critical Signs of a Plumbing EmergencyYour plumbing system is a network of pipes and fixtures that keep your home or business functioning smoothly. When a problem arises, it can quickly disrupt your daily routine and potentially cause significant damage to your property. Here are some signs that you're facing a plumbing emergency:Burst Pipes: One of the most severe emergencies is a burst pipe, which can release gallons of water, leading to substantial property damage and potential flooding. Turn off the water supply and call for emergenc

Learn about the different types of equipment, the benefits of each, costs, efficiency, lifespan, warranties, and maybe most importantly is your distribution of conditioned air in your living space. Of course by that I am referring to ductwork and how air moves throughout your space. Great airflow is the beginning of comfort, finding someone who understands that is paramount.Earlier this week, not a moment too soon given the extreme heat we are facing in the Susquehanna Valley, we had a Daikin Fit 2 ton heat pump installed at our home. This system is a fully variable speed modulating/communicating system. This system replaces a nearly 30 year old oil forced air furnace and dinosaur of a central AC. No more $1500.00 oil bills at the beginning of the heating season, no more smells of exhaust and carbon monoxide alarms going off on windy days, no more uncertainty of annual costs…just clean, reliable, quiet, energy efficient heating and cooling.Words/phrases like wow, I never thought, I’ve never been so comfortable, and I can’t hear it come to mind when speaking about this new system. To say we are impressed or pleased is a gross under-representation of how happy we are. The humidity in the home is finally under control. The temperature is even in every room. No more noisy floor fans, obnoxious window units, and wildly different temperatures room to room. No more humidifiers sitting around the house in the winter to clean and listen to. This new system does it all, literally everything. A simple command to Alexa, a quick swipe on your smart phone, or a touch of the Daikin One+ thermostat and our adjustments have been made from anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection. A gentle blue glow on the wall indicates the system is actively cooling the home while an orange glow signifies heating is in progress.Jeff, Levi, and the distinguished installers and designers at Warner made it possible. After having other companies quote as any responsible homeowner would do, it was clear within minutes that these were the folks for the job. They were early to their appointment, had clean vehicles, professional, and spelled out exactly what to expect from start to finish. They even got our system installed ahead of schedule. Day one was crazy awesome. The old junk was removed and hauled away and existing duct modifications began. Day two wrapped up the new d

Day two wrapped up the new design changes, the overwhelming remainder of the install, wiring, and other checks. Day three only lasted four hours and consisted of commissioning and startup of the new system. We literally went from old, inefficient, and outdated to modern, sleek, and amazing in about 20-24 hours of total work.Looking back, our biggest regret is waiting so long. For years we dealt with what we had because we didn’t realize we could do this and actually afford it. Call Warner for your home comfort needs, ask about the Daikin Fit for your home, and begin your journey to being part of the Warner family and comfort exceeding your expectations.We even capture our condensate water to water our plants with! A win for us and the environment we cherish.Wanda C.The two reasons I work with Warner Service are: I have never had to have a call back and, more importantly, the talent of the people. Your people are in the top 1% of the many companies I have worked with in both private and commercial repairs and construction.- James D .It's been a great experience, and a vast improvement over our previous service vendor. Your staff has been so professional, and really know their stuff!Milt H.As usual the guys who came out were professional and explained what they were doing.

We also offer regular AC maintenance to keep your Daikin system running at peak efficiency for as long as you own it.Do I Need a New Air Conditioner?While having scheduled AC service is normal and beneficial, it's time to consider an air conditioning replacement if any of the following apply to you:Outdated system.Older air conditioners with a SEER rating below 10 are much less efficient than newer models. Since standards have increased, systems installed before 2006 are likely costing you more in energy bills.High electric bills.Inefficient air conditioners can consume a significant part of your monthly energy usage. Upgrading to a modern system with a high SEER rating can reduce your energy costs by up to 30%***.Costly repairs.Continuing to use an aging system without a current service plan may lead to expensive AC repairs. Consider the long-term savings and stability an HVAC replacement could offer.Home repairs.If you're renovating, especially with plans to sell, upgrading your air conditioning can enhance property value. New systems are quieter, more efficient, and improve indoor air quality, making your home more appealing to potential buyers.Different room temperatures.If there's a large difference in temperature when you enter certain rooms in your home, strategic upgrades can often address the problem better than an HVAC repair alone. Mini ductless AC systems are best suited for cooling single rooms, additions, and supplemental support for problem areas in larger homes.Financing Your New AC: Warner Service offers financing options through GreenSky, allowing you to spread the cost over time.We understand that a new air conditioner is an investment; this makes upgrading your system more affordable, and the energy savings can help offset the monthly payments.*Ongoing Maintenance and Repair: You'll stay connected with Warner Service when you get a new HVAC system.

That’s right, summer’s coming! Say goodbye to those allergies and hello to barbecues, vacations, and yes, higher temperatures. Warner Service Heating, Cooling, and Plumbing wants to let Frederick and Hagerstown area homeowners know that they are here to help you be more comfortable this year in the heat by giving you these 10 Tips to a more comfortable summer! 1. Test Your Air Conditioning System First, be sure to test your air conditioning system. It may be a while since you’ve had it on, and nothing is worse than first using your system on a 90-degree day to find out there’s a problem. By testing early, you will be ahead of the game and able to resolve any issues before the need for the system arises. In addition to testing the system inside, also be sure to check the unit outside. If there are any dead leaves or debris in or around the unit, be sure to clear it out to extend the life and effectiveness of your unit. 2. Maintain Air Filters Be sure to keep your air filters maintained! The average home should replace their air filters about once every two months, and more often if you have pets in your home. Not only can changing air filters have an effect on your indoor air quality by removing the dust and other particles in an old filter, but new filters also allow air to pass through easier. This means a better airflow in your home with a more refreshing air quality! 3. Schedule an HVAC Tune-Up In addition to checking your air filters for maintenance, be sure to also consider an HVAC tune-up. A qualified technician will be able to diagnose any issues with your home comfort system, as well as fix that issue before it becomes a bigger problem. Also, technicians know about the new technologies in the industry, and will be able to help educate customers on upgrades that may save money in the long run. In fact, a system installed 10 years ago may be costing more to operate than a new system’s installation and operation costs combined. 4. Install a Programmable Thermostat Nothing makes your home feel more comfortable than a few extra dollars in your budget! Save money by using your air conditioning more efficiently with a programmable thermostat. These devices will allow you to schedule the air conditioning operations in your home. By allowing the temperature to rise five or ten degrees while you are not at home, but return to your favorite temperature by the time you return, you will save quite a bit on your energy bill without being able to tell a difference! 5. Turn Off Your System When You Open The Windows Another way to help your air conditioning system is by optimizing your home to work with it! One of the best ways to accomplish this is to keep windows closed while your air conditioner is running. While yes, the air outside is beautiful, you want to keep that nice, cool air conditioning inside in order to keep your whole house feeling comfortable. 6. Install Blinds and Curtains In addition to closing windows, be sure to use blinds and curtains properly to keep the sun’s heat out of your home. By keeping windows facing the sun covered with light-colored curtains or metal blinds, the energy from the sun will be reflected away from the interior of your home, meaning your air conditioning unit doesn’t have to do as much work to keep your home comfortable. 7. Add A Dehumidifier Consider adding a dehumidifier to your home comfort system. Especially in the Mid-Atlantic region, humidity has a huge effect on the comfort level of your home, and by dehumidifying that air, your home will feel cooler even at a higher temperature. 8. Consider Installing Ceiling Fans Utilize ceiling fans! This solution may sound simple, but ceiling fans work wonders when used in combination with a dehumidifier and well-maintained air conditioning system. Be sure to set your fan to spin in a counter-clockwise direction for the best summer use. 9. Keep The Heat Away From Your Thermostat Keep the area around your comfort system optimized! Keep heat-producing items, such as televisions and computers, away from your thermostat to make sure it functions properly. If the thermostat thinks it is hotter in your home than it actually is, it will use more energy than needed, resulting in a higher electric bill. In addition, keep your landscaping away from your exterior AC unit so that if a technician does come to fix a problem, it can be fixed more easily and quickly. 10. Keep The Heat Outside Use the heat to your advantage! Rather than using high-energy appliances like stoves, ovens, and clothes dryers, cook outdoors on a barbecue and use a clothesline to dry your clothes. This will not only save your more money on you

To save money on your next energy bill, follow Warner Service’s air conditioning tips:Your home has poor insulation. This is the biggest energy suck, and it’s the most dangerous to your energy bill because you can’t see where air leaks are coming from, including cracks in the foundation, tiling, and wall corners.To prevent this, get an energy audit. A professional will search for energy wasters around your home and give advice on immediate solutions and preventative HVAC maintenance.Your home has faulty ductwork. Based on Ductwork Design 101, your air ducts should be sealed and well designed at installation. However, if they’re not, it could cost you an increase on your utility bill.Seal your home’s ducts to improve energy efficiency, protect indoor air quality, solve uneven cooling, prevent “backdrafting”, and more.Your home is operating an inefficient unit. Warner Service has covered many ways that your air conditioner costs you, including basic inefficiencies, leaks, and old age.To prevent this, schedule a maintenance visit with each change in season, especially if you live in a climate where seasons are less gradual and harsher.You’re not using “energy-saving mode”. When you’re not at home, use the energy saver option rather than turning your unit off. This keeps your home cool while you’re away, and it means less work for the unit because it doesn’t have to turn back on to cool your home again.You leave doors open. It’s important to understand that heat rises. If you have a first-floor A/C unit, shut the second-floor doors and windows, so your air conditioner has less space to cool.Your unit’s not set at 78 degrees Fahrenheit. This is the sweet spot for an air conditioning unit to optimally run. However, you should keep the A/C lower at night.During this time, your home doesn't require the same level of cooling, so turn your unit down or utilize “sleep mode” (which lowers the output on a timer) when you’re sleeping.Your furniture is in the way. The ideal location for a central air conditioning unit is on the north side of your home. Though that’s not always possible, you can move your furniture. Chairs and couches that obstruct vents means you’re not cooling anything but that spot. Buy plastic pieces for your vents to force air in the right direction, but the easiest way is to just rearrange your furniture -- even if only temporarily.You forgot the fan. Your home relies so much on air conditioners to keep things cool, but having supplemental fans doesn't hurt. Using them helps circulate the cool air, using less energy than your unit.You don’t close the curtains. When no one’s in a room during the day, keep the curtains closed. This is especially true for homes with windows facing east and west. Keeping direct sunlight away reduces the amount of work your air conditioner has.To maximize cooling, open the drapes, blinds, or curtains in the evening to allow heat to escape through the windows.You do every chore during the daytime. It’s known that cooking counteracts a unit’s efforts, but did you know that so does using a clothes dryer and dishwasher? Save your chores for when the sun goes down to get the most out of your air conditioner.If you’d like to keep your energy bill to a minimum, follow these tried-and-true few tricks from our experts.

Dishwashers have made it simple to keep your dishes and kitchen clean without having to spend a lot of time hand-washing each item. However, dishwashers can sometimes make things too easy for us, and we can make mistakes while using them. These mistakes can cost homeowners in many ways, from simply using more energy or water than necessary , to breaking the dishwasher, or even causing water damage or other large damages to your home. That's why Warner Service has put together these 10 dishwashing tips to keep your kitchen running smoothly and safely, just in time for the holidays!Dishwasher Detergent – In addition to choosing the right detergent for your needs, it is also important to follow the directions on the box. Don’t think that adding extra detergent to the dishwasher will get the dishes extra clean. In reality it can leave a film of detergent on the entire contents of the dishwasher that you'll taste later, or worse, it might bubble up and overflow! Use the right detergent and use it the right way. Overfilling – It’s great to maximize space when we fill the dishwasher, but too often we overcrowd our dishes. This not only prevents dishes from getting clean, but this can also damage them as they bump into one another. Space the dishes so that each one has the space it needs to get clean.Too Much Food – Today’s dishwashers are amazing at removing food residue without the need to prewash our dishes, but even the most advanced dishwasher can develop trouble when too much food is left on dishes. While we may not need to prewash our dishes, scraping them is a necessity to keep the dishwasher running smoothly.Non-Dishwasher Safe Items – Even though we might wish that a dishwasher could clean everything, some items just aren't safe to use. Avoid putting wood, copper, cast-iron, delicate glassware and other non-dishwasher safe items in the dishwasher. Wood splits and cracks when exposed to dishwasher temperatures, humidity and water. Delicate glassware can break in a dishwasher, making for a big mess to clean up. Some metals like cast-iron and copper are not meant to be washed in the dishwasher and can become damaged as well as cause damage to other dishes.Top Rack vs. Bottom Rack – It does matter where dishes are placed in the dishwasher. There are a lot of items that are dishwasher-safe only when placed on the top rack. To get thoroughly clean, many other dishes need to be on the bottom rack. Put glasses, bowls, cups, and oversized serving utensils on the top. Plates, pots, pans, and utensils should be on the bottom. Some items can melt, warp, or break if they are put in the wrong places.Blocking the Sprayer – It’s a good idea to know how the sprayer in your dishwasher works. For best results, you want the sprayer to be able to reach every corner of the dishwasher, and clean every dish. If there is a large bowl or pan that blocks the path of the sprayer, the end of a cycle will reveal dirty dishes. Double-check that your sprayer has full range of motion and isn’t being blocked.Over-Packing Utensils – The little tines of forks are notorious for holding onto residue in the dishwasher. Spoons that nest together during a cycle can also remain encrusted with food. You should alternate utensils pointing up and down to prevent this nesting effect and always point knives downward for safety reasons.Partially Filled – While a partially filled dishwasher may seem like a better idea than an overloaded one, it’s a waste of resources. Instead of using twice as much water and detergent over a couple of loads, wait to wash your dishes until you have a full load, or hand wash small loads. Partially full loads also allow dishes to bang and bump into each other and increase the risk of breaking.Unloading – Be sure to unload the bottom rack of the dishwasher first. The tops of cups and bowls on the top rack can sometimes pool water during a cycle. If you move them first, you’ll dump and splash water onto the clean dishes below. Wait and unload the top rack last.Running the Garbage Disposal After the Dishwasher – The dishwasher drains into the same pipe as your sink, so the drain must be clear. Running your garbage disposal before starting the dishwasher clears the pipes and drains. And that's it; you're ready for a smooth post-Thanksgiving clean-up!

Then, you try to think of a solution like unplugging unused phone chargers or turning off the lights more often.To fix the problem at its source, Warner Service has a few spring tips to upgrade your home for the warmer spring days:Tackle critter control. With warmer months ahead, your home’s outdoor HVAC unit can quickly become a second home to a furry rodent or bird’s nest. Check for signs of rabbits, squirrels, birds, stray cats, and insects around the base of your outdoor unit. If you find anything, check out our safe guide to Critter Control 101 .Clean your gutters. Though “ April showers bring May flowers,” Mother Nature still hits Maryland with a few hard summer storms. Clear your gutters of any debris so rain can easily drain from your roof and away from your home’s foundation.Check the attic for leaks . Like we said before, Maryland gets hit with some devastating summer storms, especially Frederick . Check your attic for any signs of leakage , including visible moisture, discoloration, and water damage on the windows and door sills. This will also help you avoid heat waste on those colder spring mornings.Insulate metal ductwork. With the sun beating down on your home, you’ll want to keep your family as cool as possible. To keep the air conditioning’s efforts inside (and save you up to 20 percent on your overall energy usage), insulate any metal ductwork.Replace the air filter. This chore isn’t dependent on the season or where you live because replacing your HVAC filter is something that should be on your to-do list every month, depending on how much hair, smoke, dust, pet dander, mold, and other debris are in your home.Pay attention to the water heater . You should check the temperature setting on the water heater to make sure it’s no higher than 120 degrees Fahrenheit. You should also drain several gallons from the water heater’s tank to flush out any corrosion-causing sediment to increase the appliance’s efficiency and lifespan.Call an expert for spring HVAC maintenance. We advise calling a professional, like Warner Service, to check-up on your home energy usage right before Frederick’s humidity hits.First, the tech will check the thermostat and inspect the controls of your system. Next, they’ll inspect the air filter, condensate drain, blower motor, and more before moving onto cleaning your outdoor unit.For more information about a Warner spring maintenance visit, click here .Revisit the supply hoses. Check the supply hoses for the dishwasher, washing machine, and ice maker for any bulges or leaks. If your supply hoses are more than 10 years old, consider replacing them with stainless steel hoses. They’re more reliable and less prone to bursting than other types of hoses.Test the sump pump . Sump pumps are in charge of flowing water away from your home’s basement and foundation to avoid water damage and flooding. This comes in handy during those April showers, so make sure to perform proper sump pump maintenance yearly.Seal air leaks. To reduce your energy costs, schedule a home energy audit where a technician will specifically check for leaks in the air ducts that could be affecting your overall energy bill.Get a jump start on your spring HVAC maintenance by performing these few chores, and you'll avoid costly utility spending. You can also leave it to the pros by scheduling a visit with Warner Service.Contact us to have a qualified technician examine your home comfort system to ensure you’re prepared for the water heating costs and lower energy consumption.You can also subscribe to our blog for more quick tips on how to reduce your hefty utility bills in your home during the warm spring and summer months:CONTACT WARNER SERVICE(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

Whether you have an older home or a new house, snow, ice and heavy winds know no difference when it comes to causing damage. Homeowners will experience a plethora of potentially destructive weather, from sleet to below-freezing temperatures, in the upcoming months. Because of this, it’s wise to prepare your home before the season drastically changes. To help you out, here are some of Warner Service’s easy-to-follow tips for prepping your home for hibernation: Inspect your HVAC filters weekly for debris and dust, and change the filter monthly for the best results. Check the drain pans in your sump pump system to make sure that it adequately flows away from your home and down a slope. If there is any obstruction preventing a freely flowing stream, remove it. Also remove any debris from your home’s gutters and spouts. Examine all of your home’s pipes for rust. If you find any rust, call a professional for a prompt repair. During your examination, disconnect all hoses (wrap a tarp around them and store in the garage or shed to avoid cracking) and turn off all of your home’s exterior faucets to avoid them freezing over during the winter. Look at your home’s ductwork to ensure that it is free of debris, filtered at the inlet (if necessary) and tightly insulated and connected. Turn on the furnace burner to see if the ignited flame is blue with a yellow tip. If the flame is not this color or the heating unit does not ignite properly, call a seasoned HVAC professional for help. Observe the combustion gas exhaust components, such as chimneys, vents and connective pipes, for proper ventilation of combustion byproducts. If the components are cracked and/or not performing correctly, it can cause health, safety and water management problems due to rising carbon monoxide levels and backflow in your home. To avoid any damage or health concerns, contact an experienced professional for a check-up or repair. Clean the air coils of debris and dust by brushing or vacuuming them. Mulch the leaves, mow the grass and clear vegetation near your home’s outdoor condensing unit. Also, remove any subsequent grass clippings or other natural debris from the area to ensure good airflow and prevent damage. Switch your programmable thermostat to the “heat” setting, and drop the temperature down to 75 degrees. Warm air should begin coming through the vents. If your home has a humidifier, change the water panel to alleviate dry air problems and maintain the proper humidity levels throughout your home. Reverse your ceiling fans to a clockwise direction to push the warm air downward. Hit the roof to look for cracked, missing or loose shingles that may cause leaks from snow or heavy rain. Re-caulk around the windows and doors to make sure you are keeping the warm air inside and the cold air outside. Whether your house is old or new, the bottom line is that it needs to be prepared for the tumultuous winter that Maryland will (no doubt) bestow upon us. With rain, sleet, snow and hail headed our way in the next few months, it’s important to check every nook and cranny of our homes. From the exterior condensing unit and roof to the furnace flame and combustion gas components, check for any signs of leakage, cracks, debris and other damage. If you find anything wrong with your appliances and/or units, contact a professional , like Warner Service, to make an appointment as soon as possible.

Your heating and cooling system plays a vital role in achieving this, yet it often goes unnoticed until a problem arises. Recognizing the warning signs of a failing system is essential for ensuring optimal performance and preventing costly repairs.Inconsistent Temperature RegulationUneven heating and cooling are common signs that your HVAC system may not be functioning correctly. When some areas of your home are too warm while others remain cool, it can be frustrating and uncomfortable. Several factors can contribute to this inconsistency.Causes of uneven heating and cooling include:Blocked Vents or Ducts: Obstructions in your vents or ductwork can prevent air from circulating properly, leading to temperature discrepancies in different areas of your home.Thermostat Issues: A malfunctioning or improperly placed thermostat can cause your system to misread the temperature, resulting in uneven heating or cooling.Insufficient Insulation: Poor insulation allows heat or cold air to escape, making it difficult for your system to maintain a consistent indoor temperature.Identifying the source of inconsistent temperature regulation requires professional evaluation. Our technicians can determine the root cause and make necessary adjustments or repairs. Regular checks ensure that your system distributes air evenly, enhancing overall comfort and reducing energy waste.Unusually High Energy BillsA sudden spike in your energy bills can indicate that your heating and cooling system is not operating efficiently. If you notice significant increases without a change in usage, it may be a sign of underlying issues.Inefficient systems often waste energy for several reasons:Old or Faulty Equipment: Older systems or defective components can place additional stress on your unit, causing it to use more energy and inflate your bills.Poor Maintenance: Lack of regular maintenance often leads to clogged filters, dirty components, or minor issues that escalate over time. These problems make your system work harder than necessary.Leaks or Duct Problems: Air leaks in the ductwork or system can cause significant energy waste as your unit attempts to compensate for the lost air.It's essential to address these concerns promptly. Unchecked inefficiencies can lead to more serious problems and higher costs down the road. A thorough inspection by our professionals can identify areas of concern and recommend solutions to improve system performance and reduce energy use.Strange Noises or OdorsStrange noises or odors coming from your HVAC system can be alarming and often indicate that something isn't functioning as it should. Ignoring these unusual signs can lead to further damage if not addressed promptly.Types of noises and their potential causes include:Banging or Rattling: These sounds might suggest loose parts or debris within the system. It's crucial to have our technicians inspect the unit to prevent further damage.Screeching or Squealing: These noises often come from issues with the belt or motor bearings. They may require lubrication or replacement to ensure smooth operation.Buzzing: This could indicate electrical problems, which need immediate professional attention to avoid safety hazards.In addition to noises, strange odors are a problematic indicator:Musty Smells: These typically suggest mold growth within your ductwork or HVAC system, potentially affecting air quality.Burning Odor: This could signal an overheating component or electrical issue, both of which require urgent inspection.Addressing strange noises and odors with a 24-hour heating and cooling check can help identify and rectify these problems, ensuring your system runs efficiently and safely.Frequent Cycling or Extended Operation TimesFrequent cycling or extended operation times of your HVAC system can signal underlying problems that require immediate professional intervention. These issues can decrease the lifespan of your unit and increase energy costs.The dangers of short cycling include:Increased Wear and Tear: Short cycling, where the system turns on and off frequently, can cause stress on your equipment, leading to more frequent repairs or replacement.Inadequate Temperature Control: The system may be unable to maintain a consistent temperature, leading to discomfort.On the other hand, a system that runs consistently without shutting off may indicate:Thermostat Malfunctions: Issues with the thermostat may cause the system to operate longer than necessary.Refrigerant Leaks: Low refrigerant levels can prevent the system from reaching the set temperature, causing it to run continuously.A 24-hour system evaluation by our profession

Now, it’s time to dive into a few common household laundry products that do way more harm than good for the environment, your energy bill, and your family’s health:1. Bleach: Did you know that “the largest number of hospital occurrences in 1993 were from exposure to cleaning products,” such as bleach and detergents? This startling statistic comes from Educating Wellness, an organization that specializes in natural health and wellness. Chlorine bleach is a strong, corrosive material that can irritate your family’s eyes, skin, and respiratory tracts by merely inhaling the gas. The dangers get even worse when you mix it with other cleaners, like laundry detergent and softeners.If you choose to use bleach, we suggest the following tips:Putting the bleach container in a safe, cool place away from children.Handle the chemical with gloves and protective eyewear, whether used for cleaning or for laundry.Clean up any spills immediately. The longer it lingers, the more likely that side effects will occur.Suppose you would rather ditch laundry products for good. In that case, Warner Service recommends swapping it for an organic mixture of apple cider vinegar, lemon, baking soda, and borax for your loads of clothes.2. Detergent: Researchers from the University of Washington studied top-selling laundry products, and every single one contained at least one chemical flagged as “toxic” or “hazardous” under federal law. What’s worse is that those chemicals weren’t listed on the label.“Five of the six products emitted one or more carcinogenic ‘hazardous air pollutants,’ which the Environmental Protection Agency considers to have no safe exposure level,” said study author Anne Steinemann. This includes artificial fragrances, cleaning agents (also known as surfactants), formula stabilizers, bleach, brighteners, phosphates, and ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA).If you want to stop using detergent and other harsh chemicals, try a few of our natural alternatives:Make your own detergent with washing soda, borax, and unscented bar soap.Buy the safest laundry necessities from the Environmental Working Group, which offers a comprehensive laundry guide where you can find products that scored the lowest hazard rating.Naturally remove stains by pre-treating with a combination of washing soda, baking soda, and water.Try real brightening with a little baking soda, which will naturally brighten colors without the clingy chemicals that irritate your family’s skin.Try a dryer ball instead of static-cling sheets. DIYnatural and Petalstopicots.com have instructions on how to make your own. Another tip, if you miss the fragrance of dryer sheets, add your favorite essential oil to a damp rag and throw it in with the load.Frequently clean out your washer, which helps get rid of any soap scum, bacteria, and other unwanted contaminants that have collected in your machine over time. Simply add white vinegar into a hot water cycle and run.3. Hot water: According to Home Water Works, a project of the Alliance for Water Efficiency, “Washing laundry is a significant use of water in the average home, accounting for 15 to 40 percent of the overall water consumption inside the typical household of four persons.”Considering the average American family washes almost 400 loads of laundry each year, that’s about 12,000 gallons of water annually. That’s no good for the environment, so consider these few tips:Swap the old machine for a high-efficiency oneDo only full loads at night to save energy.If you want to get the cleanest, most natural wash every time, it’s best to scrub down your laundry machine once in awhile.

Now you are probably wondering: How would spending money on a professional air conditioning check save me money? The truth is that the benefits are all long-term. Here are a few of Warner Service’s reasons to schedule a routine maintenance check today: When a professional cleans your air ducts , it increases efficiency. When your unit is dirty, dusty and full of debris from last season, it does not perform to its potential. It is challenging for your unit to operate at a normal level of efficiency unless the component is spotless. Though you can change your filters on your own, a fine tune-up of your system during a routine maintenance appointment will allow everything to function optimally. Your technician should: Check for the correct amount of refrigerant Test for refrigerant leaks Capture any refrigerant that must be evacuated from the system Check for and seal duct leakage in central systems Measure the evaporator coil’s airflow Verify the correct electric control sequence to make sure that the heating system and cooling system cannot operate simultaneously Inspect electric terminals and clean and tighten connections Oil motors and check belts for tightness and wear Check the thermostat’s accuracy This will save you money on your electric and heating bills in the long run, and increasing efficiency also reduces your carbon footprint. To keep up with a go-green approach, you can also ask your consultant about a more eco-friendly, high efficiency system that can possibly cut your bills up to one-third. During an air conditioning consultation, your trusted professional should tell you if your unit has slight kinks that can be fixed on the spot. It may be testing safety features, fixing frayed wires or changing the belt. They may even detect a bigger issue that will require another appointment or replacement, such as noise control or an old pump. (Most professionals would recommend replacing your unit after 7-10 years anyway.) Either way, finding these problems as soon as possible can save you money in repairs and replacements down the road. When your system is stressed and worn out, it can prematurely age. This leads to poor quality and circulation, which means you would have to unnecessarily purchase a new unit. Routine maintenance checks keep your unit clean, up-to-date and optimally operating season after season. This will extend the life of your equipment – and your wallet. Do not fret about scheduling a routine maintenance check. You have to spend only a little on preventative measures to save a lot in the long run. Everyone wants their unit to be energy efficient and fully functioning, so schedule your appointment with Warner Service today. CONTACT WARNER SERVICE(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

The quick shift in degrees can cause your heating and cooling bills to quickly rise, and you end up wasting money on your thermostat — especially while you are away or sleeping.To avoid spending extra money on your energy bills, consider installing a programmable or smart thermostat. Here are some of Warner Service’s favorite benefits of having a programmable thermostat in your home:Programmable thermostats let homeowners fine-tune the temperature in their homes during all hours of the day. This allows for an optimal level of comfort while at home, and saves you money by automatically adjusting the temperature when you're away. For example, you can set your device to warm your home in the winter before you come from work, or put it at a holding temperature while you are on vacation. You can also set separate rooms to different temperatures if your provider installs it correctly. No more sacrificing personal comfort for your wallet.These appliances are easy to read and easy to use, as most are equipped with user-friendly digital displays and run on battery power. The batteries should be changed at least once a year. Some models are also internet and Wi-Fi compatible , so homeowners can change the settings from their computer, smartphone, or tablet. Newer devices even come with microprocessors that alert you when it is time to change your air filter.Programmable thermostats are meant to be energy-saving machines, so homeowners pocket an average of $150 to $200 per year. These devices lower your energy bills by maximizing the HVAC efficiency in the home. However, try not to use the manual override setting, as it could end up costing you more in the long run. Smart thermostats are also highly dependable, so you end up spending less money on replacements and repairs. Homeowners should install the thermostat away from heating or cooling vents, appliances that generate a lot of heat, electronics, open doorways, and direct sunlight for the most effective use.Tip: If your home has zoned cooling and heating , install a programmable thermostat in each zone — especially if you have rooms that are unoccupied for long periods of time, such as an empty spare bedroom or an unfinished basement.Programmable thermostats are safer for your home. Older, non-digital thermostats contain the highest amount of mercury found in any household object. Because programmable thermostats do not contain any mercury, they help reduce the carbon footprint.There are many benefits to installing programmable or smart thermostats throughout your home, including increasing your overall comfort level. These money-saving devices are reliable pieces of hardware that are easy to understand and operate. They are also eco-friendly because they reduce the mercury levels in your home and in landfills.If you have any questions on installation or about your current thermostat or HVAC unit , contact us today.

The Concrete Foundation Association found that 85 percent of structural damage to homes is a result of faulty drainage. This includes foundational cracks that compromise the integrity of your home and lowers its value.Taking care of your home now is beneficial for its future. Your home is an important investment, and doing everything you can to keep it in good shape is vital. Understanding residential plumbing is a good first step in avoiding these plumbing problems.What are the types of drainage systems?Surface Drainage System. If your property is relatively flat, water pooling is more of a concern since the water has nowhere to go. Understanding the foundational layout of your home can be helpful when handling plumbing maintenance.Subsurface Drainage System. When this system is installed, a sturdy pipe is placed underneath the top layer of soil. This has a two-fold benefit because it removes excess water from your property and stops waterlogging.Waterlogging occurs when the soil is too moist for the shrubbery around your home. When roots are oversaturated, they begin to rot, which eventually leads to the foliage dying.To avoid this, a pipe is installed well below the surface. This pipe takes the water away from the property. After the pipe is installed, a layer of gravel is used to fill the trench. This allows the water to seep into the drain, removing the standing water.Plumbing History: This plumbing system is also known as a French drain, named after the inventor Henry Flagg French in 1859.Slope Drainage System. These systems use gravity to its advantage by allowing water to take its natural course. The pipes in this system are anchored on a small incline that allows water to flow away from your property. These pipes are typically gated to ensure nothing falls into them.In this system, a regrading technique may be used to best direct the water. In most cases, the grade is used to drive the water into a storm sewer. Check online for plumbing terms and conditions to ensure the grade is within your building code.Downspout and Gutter Systems. These systems are best for removing roof water. Roof water adds extra weight to your home's roof, which can result in it caving in. While this is an extreme circumstance, it’s important to understand the dangers of inefficient roof drainage.This system uses two primary parts, the downspout and gutter system. Downspouts can be round or rectangular and are usually made of a light, flexible metal.If you’re using a downspout and gutter system, make sure it empties on a slope. This ensures that water doesn't pool at the base of the drain.You want to do everything you can to best manage your home because it's a big investment. By understanding residential plumbing, you can sleep easier next time a storm or heavy snow comes through.Having that peace of mind, knowing you won't wake up to a flooded basement or pooled water makes inclement weather easier to handle.Trying to manage all the needs of your home can be stressful. Luckily Warner Service has made it simpler.

This is not an uncommon occurrence for houses with more than one floor, but most homeowners assume it happens because heat rises, and typically they do not do anything about it.While that may be scientifically true, there is no reason that you should be spending money on air conditioning when it is not effectively working throughout your entire home. Here are some of Warner Service’s tips to solve uneven cooling in your home:The simplest solution is to move any furniture away from the vents or open closed vents. If you are not feeling the air, it might be because the circulation can’t get to you.Clean your air ducts with a detachable vacuum hose or, if you are nervous, call a professional to inspect and clean them. These control and redirect airflow throughout the levels in your home. If they are full of dirt, mold, dust, smoke or hair then the air circulation is blocked. While you are up there, check to see if there are any air leaks. This is when air is trafficked away from the vent and instead it flows downward. You should also change your HVAC filters regularly to ensure clean, healthy air is available in your home. When you are changing the filter, make sure it is the right size for your unit. If not then air could be circulating improperly.Switch your thermostat’s fan from “auto” to “on.” We are debunking a common misconception: robots are not good at everything. When your thermostat is in the auto position, when your cooling cycle is done and the outdoor unit is off, your fan stops. When your thermostat is in the on position, your fan will remain circulating air throughout your home, even when the cooling cycle is done and the outdoor unit is off. The longer it runs, the more evenly distributed the air will be on each level.Pay attention to the attic. It may be seen as a dark, damp place that no one goes to, but it is actually vital to your home’s temperature. Make sure you have enough insulation in the attic to keep the hot air out and the cool air in. You should also double-check the insulation’s proper R-value , which stands for the resistance to heat flow, for your home’s structure and region. For example, higher R-values are recommended for homes that harbor a lot of heat.If your wallet permits it, install an electric zoning system, which zones your home into two sections: the downstairs and upstairs. This allows you and your family to independently control the air conditioning from the main thermostat. It also allows you to directly adjust the heating and cooling on each floor to your comfort level, so no more fighting over control of the thermostat. Electric zoning systems are also quieter than traditional air ducts, and most professionals can install them within a day.There is not a one-size-fits-all solution to this familiar problem, but scheduling a regular HVAC maintenance visit could be the key to avoiding cooling and heating issues with shifts in seasons. Our professionals can perform any repairs on air ducts, air conditioning systems and thermostats during inspection before the seasons’ prime months hit, so feel free to schedule an appointment today.

After trying to locate the clog with a drain snake, the plumbing problem doesn't change. You've exhausted all options -- or have you?Before calling a plumber, try these techniques to relieve the plumbing problem:Clog ComprehensionPlunger PracticeChemical ClearingToilet RemovalYou may be able to avoid calling a plumbing professional by solving the plumbing problem.Clog ComprehensionBefore attacking a stubborn drain, reflect on what's causing the blockage to occur. Different types of material require different tools to remove the clog.For example, if the drain backup occurs in the shower, hair build-up is the culprit. In this situation, a snake (referred to as a "Zip It") is valuable because it's infused with tiny barbs. This version of a drain snake yields better results.It's also important to understand the size of the drain. If the drain is 15 feet long, a shorter drain snake is ineffective. With drains, it's difficult to know where exactly the buildup is. A good rule of thumb is to use a snake that's longer than the drain. Use a snake that has a sharp corkscrew end to power through the blockage.Plunger PracticePlunging isn't always easy. Subtle best practices are the difference between success and failure to unclog the drain.Use the right kind of plunger. A plunger with an extension flange is best for toilets. This round extension provides a seal over the toilet hole. For sinks, bathtubs, and showers, use a cup plunger. This plunger is flat on the bottom. In whichever case, the rubber end of the plunger shouldn't have any slits, cuts, or openings.Adjust the water level before plunging. If excess water is around the appliance, you'll make a bigger mess. Water is necessary for creating that vacuum seal, though. Ensure that the water level is high enough to submerge the cup on the plunger.Remove the air in the plunger cup. Air in the plunger cup causes a collapsing effect and doesn't help suction. Reduce this effect by ensuring that the plunger cup fills with water. This makes it impossible for air to get trapped in the cap. Ensure that the seal around the cap is tight. Any air leaking underneath the cap reduces suction power.Plunge. A correct plunging method is the most important step. When plunging, use vertical movements for the greatest suction. A tilt-in movement may also cause a slip in the plunger seal, which removes all power.Chemical ClearingNote: Never use chemical treatment before attempting to plunge. Plunging after the use of chemicals could result in chemicals damaging skin or eyes.Chemical treatment is useful for breaking up certain types of backups like food and grease. Chemical treatments vary depending on the type of clog. Whenever using chemical cleaners, read the instructions carefully and fully. Since chemical cleaning is dangerous, use home remedies for the same effect without the risk. Use boiling water or baking soda and vinegar.Toilet RemovalBefore taking the bathroom apart, see if the sink and tub are also backed up. If everything's clogged, it's a blockage in the waste line.If so, turn off the water to avoid flooding. When looking at the toilet, notice that it's held in by two bolts on the bottom side of the trim caps. Remove these bolts. Once removed, lift the toilet and place it to the side. Roughhousing the toilet causes a break in the seal or extensive damage to the exterior.At this point, the waste drain is exposed. Clean the sealing ring and inspect the drain. If the clog isn't visible, use the snake again to find it.If you go through these measures and are still searching for the blockage, call a plumber. As humbling as it is, sometimes drains get the best of us.Call a plumbing professional to solve the plumbing problem. It reduces the risk of further damage to the bathroom.

Schools and offices were closed, and Maryland was in a state of emergency for days. Snow crews have worked tirelessly to plow roads and parking areas while homeowners have shoveled out cars and freed sidewalks from the clutches of snow and ice.We hope you took the proper winter precautions before the storm. However, if you have found a problem, we bet it’s most likely your roof. This is because heavy snow, strong winds and unprepared roofs do not mix well, but don’t worry. You’re not alone. Most roofs are built to withstand a one-foot snowfall , but when Jonas dropped more than 2 and a half feet… Well, you can calculate the odds.To help you prevent a roof collapse and prepare you for the next big storm, here’s Warner Service’s take on how to battle heavy snow:Consider all of the factors. Before the storm hits, you should know what your roof is capable of withstanding. Though it should be built to Maryland’s standard, there’s no guarantee. Consider the weight of the potential snow (at its maximum estimation), the strength of your roof’s trusses and rafters, the slope of your roof, any HVAC systems, sun exposure and other factors. To calculate the pressure, use a handy calculator like this. Once you know how much snow your roof is capable of holding, you can adjust accordingly.Shovel or rake the snow off. Whether you shovel it off before the weather is too much or right after the snowstorm ends, homeowners should shovel or rake the snow off of their roof. Remember that the roof has no absolute guaranteed stability, and the weather will change without notice. For example, your roof may be able to hold 20 pounds per foot of powdery snow. That’s great, but if the temperatures drop, it’ll become solid ice or heavy, wet snow. Can your roof withstand all of that pressure?Don’t use heat-powered sources. Using tools like hair dryers, heat guns or other open-flame devices is a bad idea. First of all, it’s extremely dangerous. Secondly, it can lead to severe leaking from possible cracks in your roof.Keep the gutters and drains clean. If the whole roof isn’t your priority at the moment, that’s OK. Just make sure you keep the gutters and drains free of ice and snow . This will help everything flow freely when it begins to melt. Homeowners can perform this task using a simple broomstick, but watch out for icicles . It’s best to wear goggles and protective headgear when doing this to avoid accidents.Call a professional for assistance. If you notice any of these warning signs on your roof before, during or after a snowstorm, call a professional for help:Doors and/or windows that cannot be opened or closedDoors that pop open on their ownCracked or split wood members and other deformities in the roofing structureCreaking, popping or cracking sounds coming from the roofCracks in interior walls and/or exterior masonryBends or ripples in the roof supportsBent or missing framing screws, utility pipes or conduits that are attached at the ceilingSagging ceilingRoof leaks into the interior of the homeTaking care of your roof before a snowstorm is as easy as calculating its pressure capabilities online. Once the storm has passed, rake or shovel the snow off the roof and drains, but do not use a heat-powered source . (It can make things worse.) If this job just isn’t for you, contact Warner Service today. We’ll be happy to help. CONTACT WARNER SERVICE(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

To ensure your system keeps cooling and heating to the proper levels, and to increase its longevity, you need to give it a little TLC every three months. Here is a simple guide by Warner Service on which steps to take to keep up with your HVAC maintenance:Change your HVAC filters. We cannot stress enough that this is so important. Because your unit runs so often, these filters get dirty, clogged and dusty. This can cause your system to prematurely crash, costing you money in repairs and/or replacements. To prevent this, every homeowner should change their unit’s HVAC filters every three months or less.Look for debris inside and out. On your outdoor filters, you should check for debris, such as grass clippings, weeds and vines, when changing or cleaning your unit.Tip: W hen you mow the grass turn off your unit. This will help with keeping your outdoor unit’s filter clean.On your indoor filters, you should double check for the usual suspects of clogging like dust, hair and smoke. If you find any of the above mentioned debris, carefully change your HVAC filter .Clean your coils. Your outdoor coils are just as important as your unit’s HVAC filter. If they are dirty, it could hinder your system's ability to run smoothly. A thorough cleaning involves a good cleaning agent and a garden hose. For a sparkling clean, firmly grip your thumb on your hose tip, and wash from the inside to the outside.Watch your blowers. Your unit’s indoor blower pushes air out into your home, which could be stalled due to a dirty component. This could result in your unit not blowing air out at all, or blowing out unfiltered air. To avoid this, frequently check for dust collection throughout the blower. If you find any, you can clean it by taking a dusting solution and paper towels to the vent.Put your ducts in a row. Make sure you understand which ducts your home needs to function properly. To make your research a little easier, here is Warner Service’s easy to follow guide on ducts:Sheet metal: This is the most durable construction that is least likely to grow moldFiberglass lined: This is used to avoid condensation when the air supply is significantly colder than normal temperatureFiberboard: This type provides acoustic insulation, which means it's soundproof, and has thermal benefitsFlex: This is basically flexible plastic over a metal coil that is relatively inexpensive, lightweight and easy to installEvery three months, you should schedule your HVAC maintenance care along with your regular to-do list of chores. Make sure to include checking the blower, filter and coils, cleaning them if necessary due to debris found inside. While you are checking on your system in general, see if you have the correct coils for your home. If you are unsure, call Warner Service today.Request a service visit(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

Or more importantly, is your home? With the temperatures dropping, there are a few residential chores you need to check off. Warner Service has made it simple with 5 tiny checklists for the ultimate home maintenance guide:Prepare for a critter takeover . With the change in season, many outdoor creatures will begin preparing for hibernation. Birds, rabbits, raccoons, skunks, stray house pets, and squirrels will navigate the cooler weather by hiding in heating and cooling units. This can disrupt the airflow, leaving your home a little chillier than the thermostat reads. Here are a few tips on how to tackle a critter takeover:Get rid of incentive by raking up leaves and fallen berries, trimming tree branches, and closing trash can lids.Install small motion-sensor lights, sound emitters, and a timed or motion-activated sprinkler system to alarm scurrying animals.Relocate garden away from outdoor HVAC unit.Remove bushes from around unit to prevent moisture buildup.Hire a professional to lay concrete around unit to serve as a protective barrier.Sprinkle cayenne chili powder, garlic, jalapeño pepper, pepper, peppermint, or other powerful spice around unit as an organic repellent.Learn how to clean a heat pump . Tune up the outside components using these clear-cut directions .Winterize the heating and cooling system. It is best to get a head start on winterizing your home before the temperatures drop below zero. Follow Warner Service’s professional tricks:Invest in draft snakes to prevent warm air from seeping out and vice versa.Re-caulk gaps and repair weather-stripping on windows, piping, and foundation to save money on heating.Change air filter to alleviate autumn allergens and pathogens .Call an expert to clean vents.Run fans clockwise to reduce heating costs.Lower temperature of water heater to around 170 degrees Fahrenheit.Insulate pipes .Clean and inspect the chimney , or hire a professional to perform the task. Homeowners should:Check firebox for damaged brick and missing or crumbling mortar.Look for broken or damaged flue liners.Ensure damper moves freely and fits snugly against the smoke shelf, and check for cracks, pitting, or rust.Clean debris that restricts airflow.Remove creosote (a dark brown oil distilled from coal tar and used as a wood preservative) deposits greater than 1/8-inch thick.Take care of the lawn. For the front and back lawn:Apply a final coat of fertilizer to prevent the winter weather from doing severe damage.Clean crunchy leaves and other natural debris from gutters and downspouts to help rain flow away from your home’s foundation, which will prevent mold buildup and cracking.Cover and store away outdoor furniture and grills. All of the deck accessories, fire pit, grill, and other outdoor fixtures should be put in a garage or shed for the colder seasons.Schedule a system maintenance check-up . This phone call should be made seasonally (3 to 4 months). For the fall, a professional should perform the following tasks on the central system:Clean air ducts.Check for correct amount of refrigerant.Test for and seal leaks in ducts.Measure evaporator coil’s airflow.Verify correct electric control sequence.Inspect electric terminals, and clean and tighten connections.Oil motors, and check belts for tightness and wear.Check thermostat’s accuracy.All of these chores may seem like a lot, especially when you add the daily to-dos. However, by taking care of these seasonal tasks before autumn arrives, you will save money on potential repairs and replacements for HVAC units, outdoor furniture, the foundation, and more.

Saving energy may actually be one of the easiest ways you can save money on monthly expenses. By maintaining your home with energy in mind, you can save up to 30% of your energy bill every month. That adds up to a lot of savings over time that you can use for other things! The best part is that taking advantage of these savings is easy! All you need to do is complete a home energy audit. A home energy audit examines your home for areas where improvements could be made to save on energy. Only a professional auditor can find all the areas for improvement, but you can get a head start on your own energy audit by following these 5 quick tips: Examine the Outside of Your Home: One of the most common problems for energy consumption are air leaks. Air leaks allow the air from inside your home, whether colder or warmer, to mix with outside air. This interaction causes your HVAC system to work extra hard to correct the issue. Your HVAC system then consumes more energy, which costs you more money. The worst air leaks are noticeable from the outside in cracks and small holes. Examine any brick or stone areas of your home to look for cracks leading to the indoors. Especially check mortar, the foundation, siding, and all doors and windows. Once you find an air leak, use caulk to seal it. Seal Indoor Air Leaks: The next place to look for air leaks is indoors. Examine your pipes, faucets, electrical outlets and wiring for these leaks. If you feel air cooler or warmer than room temperature, there is often an air leak to blame. Follow these lines to look for wearing that may allow air to come into your home, and repair as needed with weatherstripping or caulk. Check Insulation: Next, it’s time to examine your insulation. Insulation has a very important job of keeping the outside and inside temperatures separate. When there is a gap in your insulation, or if it was not installed properly, you will experience drafts and/or areas of your house that are difficult to heat or cool. These issues also lead to higher energy bills. If you are able to repair the insulation issues in your home, you will increase the comfort level and the energy efficiency of your home as a whole. If your home needs new insulation, there are new services that will use a special spray form that sticks to the walls and insulates more efficiently than sheet insulation. Rethink Your Lighting: Lighting accounts for about 10% of your energy bill. The technology around home lighting has changed dramatically in the past few years. Not only have new lighting methods like compact florescent and LED bulbs become more common, they have also come down in price! An LED bulb saves energy when compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, and last for years longer. By replacing the lighting in your home with energy conscious options, you can save money and experience better lighting. Maintain or Replace Your Appliances: The biggest appliances in your home also use up the most energy. When considering new appliances, look for models that display the Energy Star Certificate to know that they are designed to energy-saving specifications. Other appliances, like your water heater and furnace, only require some maintenance to save you money. When looking at your furnace, make sure that your air filters have been replaced recently. If there are large amounts of dust on your air filter, not only will it not filter air as well, it will also cause your furnace to work harder to push the air through it. Similarly, when checking your water heater, make sure that sediment has not built up on the bottom of the tank, as it has similar effects. Protect your home and your wallet by performing a Home Energy Audit. If you have any questions about saving money and energy in your home, call Warner Service to have a qualified technician examine your individual HVAC system.

However, even though the humidity and heat index are at an all-time high, you can still keep your home cool without touching the thermostat so often. Here are some of Warner Service’s best tips on how to cool your home: Reverse ceiling blades: If you already have a fan in your home, this is a matter of simply flipping a switch. Reverse techniques blow the air upward instead of downward like typical fans. This redistributes warm air that has risen to the ceiling, which cuts your bills by up to 10 percent. When reversing the ceiling fans, make sure it is on a medium setting to create a nice breeze.Ventilate your attic: By ventilating your home’s attic, you can improve the air circulation, extend the life of your roof and air conditioning unit, remove harmful moisture and mildew and prevent ice damming (if you live in a colder climate. You can call a professional to install a solar-powered attic fan, roof vents or soffit vents for a cooler attic.Open your windows correctly: The operative word for this tip is correctly. Anyone can open windows to air out your home, but opening them correctly and at the right time will ensure that you get the most out of the natural air conditioning. Open only South-facing windows during the evening when temperatures have cooled down for the most effective use.Cook outside: This tip is not for all 4 seasons, but while the sun is still shining, take advantage of the nice weather and cook outside on a grill or over a fire pit. Not only will you and your family enjoy the sun, but you can save up to 15 percent on your bills. By cooking outside, there are no fumes, which create warm air and moisture, rising to your ceiling and throughout your home. This means your air conditioning unit and thermostat do not have to work as hard.Use the correct curtains and blinds: Vertical or horizontal slat types of window blinds are best for reducing summer heat. When completely closed and lowered on a sunny window, highly reflective interior blinds can reduce heat gain by up to 45 percent. You can also consider exterior roller blinds, which are made to provide shade when closed completely. If you prefer draperies in your home, purchase white or medium-colored draperies and close them during warm days to prevent up to 35 percent of heat gain.Instead of adjusting the thermostat every hour, try to get the most out of natural ventilation. Even though it is hot outside, you can open your South-facing windows at night for a cool breeze. You can also close the drapes and blinds during the day to prevent heat gain. To continue keeping a cool home, you can try ventilating your attic, cooking outside and switching to reverse ceiling fan blades. All of these tricks should help reduce your cooling costs for the rest of the summer. For questions or to schedule an appointment, contact Warner Service today.

Discover the Best BlogsStay up to date with our latest and most popular posts.Home>Blog>6 Surefire Ways to Eliminate Allergens and Pathogens in Your Home6 Surefire Ways to Eliminate Allergens and Pathogens in Your HomeAfter a good surface cleaning, you may think you have said good riddance to all of the dirt and grime, but have you thought about what you cannot see? We are talking about what is not noticeable even with a black light: airborne pathogens, and their dangerous companion, allergens.Airborne pathogens are disease- or illness-producing agents, such as viruses or bacteria that float through the air undetected. The viruses and bacteria can cause sickness through inhalation. Rhinovirus is a common contagion that leads to a cold. Streptococcus pneumoniae and parainfluenza virus are more seasonal pathogens that lead to pneumonia and the flu, respectively.Allergens, which is any substance that causes an allergic reaction, can physically be found almost anywhere in your house. Examples include mold, cockroach feces, pet dander, dust and dust mites, and outdoor allergens like pollen. If you or someone in your family is affected, it can cost a significant amount of money for prescription asthma treatments or over-the-counter medication. Do not fret though! Here are some of Warner Service’s solutions on how to control and eliminate allergens and pathogens:Control dust mites by encasing pillows, mattresses and box springs in impermeable zippered plastic coverings. Wash all comforters, sheets and curtains (and stuffed toys, if you have children) in hot water once a week to get rid of any existing allergens and pathogens.Vacuum once or twice per week. Because vacuuming can also sweep up dust particles, consider using an HEPA , small-particle or special double bag filter to trap everything.Should your wallet permit it, replace your carpet with wooden floors if you have furry pets. Every time you walk across that carpet or rug, you re-release the once-stagnant allergens into the air. You should consider keeping doormats on the outside and inside of your front door (and/or politely ask guests to remove their shoes upon arrival) to prevent the spreading of outside irritants.Expert Tip: To prevent pet dander from sticking to ventilation systems, cover vents with a thin, loosely woven cloth like cheesecloth.Opt for turning on your air conditioning instead of opening the windows and doors. This prevents outdoor allergens, such as pollen and mold spores from rotten wood, plants or soil, from lingering into your home. It also reduces humidity, which controls pesky dust mites.Reduce mold spores, moisture and dust mites by having Warner Service install a dehumidifier on your HVAC unit to control areas with constant moisture, such as bathrooms and the kitchen. Also, use an exhaust fan every time the stove is on to decrease kitchen fumes. Make sure to clean both at least once a week for results. You should also try to caulk and quickly repair any source of leaks, most commonly found in bathtubs, sinks and walls, to prevent mold from growing behind the walls.Change the air filters frequently . Follow the directions on the packaging for replacement requirements to get maximum usage. Regularly changing the HVAC filter will help with catching debris, hair, smoke, and dust from around your house.If these recommendations overwhelm you, don’t get stressed. Set aside a day to caulk and repair the damaged walls, order a dehumidifier or two, and schedule regular maintenance for your HVAC unit. You could also simply change your filters, vacuum, encase your mattress and do some hot laundry. Both sets of chores will have a positive impact on eliminating pathogens and allergens from your home.If you need help in determining the largest allergen culprit in your home, contact a specialist who can test dust samples and offer more suggestions on how to create the cleanliest environment for you and your family. At Warner service we want to ensure that you safely eliminate allergens and pathogens in your home.CONTACT WARNER SERVICE(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

Mid-Atlantic plumbing companies start dealing with the implications of cold weather as soon as the temperatures begin to drop. Many customers ask us, “Why did this happen?!”The basic answer is that the water coming in to the house from outside is much colder than it was during the summer months. This colder water causes your pipes to contract, which weakens the material. Whether your plumbing system uses copper pipes or a PVC variant, frozen pipes can still cause huge damages and headaches.Since these bursts are caused by water coming from outside your home, there is little you can do to stop freezing pipes when they're happening. You can, however, take steps to prevent this freezing from occurring in the first place. Our advice is to be mindful of your plumbing system as the temperatures change and check to see if you have any leaks as soon as possible. Use some of these helpful hints to minimize your risk of a frozen or burst pipe:If it is extremely cold outside, keep one or two faucets running slowly at all times. Water moving through the your pipes will not settle in one place and freeze.The pipes that freeze are often located near an outside wall or a window, so be sure to direct warm air to any colder areas of your home . Start in your basement and look for any pipes near the exterior of the home.If your kitchen sink is on an outside wall (it usually is), be sure to leave cabinet doors open to allow warm air into the cabinet . Your kitchen faucet is usually a good faucet to leave on during extremely cold weather.Be sure to disconnect your hose from the outside faucet . If you leave your hose connected, water is not able to drain out of your hose bib and will likely freeze and damage your faucet.There is a product called heat tape that can be installed directly on pipes. This tape will warm pipes as needed during cold weather. Even though this tape is not difficult to install, it is important to place it in the correct locations in your plumbing system. For more information, contact a Warner Service plumber.Seal leaks that allow cold air into your home where pipes are located . Look for air leaks around and in electrical wiring/outlets, dryer vents, and pipes. Use caulk or insulation to keep the cold out. With severe cold, even a tiny opening can let in enough cold air to cause a pipe to freeze.If you still have concerns about your system, call a licensed plumber to have them to come to your home and help prevent your pipes from freezing. Warner Service is available and happy to answer your questions.REQUEST A SERVICE VISIT(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

It keeps you warm when you leave your toasty bed in the morning, and it makes sure that it’s not too cold when you step out of the hot shower. Your relationship with your home’s furnace is one that is going to last a long, long time (or at least until spring, but don’t tell it that).You have every intention of taking care of your precious furnace by following all of the proper maintenance steps, which includes preventative care when your home is being renovated. To ensure that your furnace/best friend is safe and sound, here’s Warner Service’s guide to protecting your furnace during renovations:Talk to an HVAC professional. Before you do anything with your remodel, review all of your renovation plans with an HVAC professional. They will inspect and offer personalized advice about the blower, ductwork and indoor coil of your furnace before anything happens. You should also make an appointment with them for a post-renovation HVAC check-up to make sure everything is still in working order.Turn your furnace off. If there is dust in the air, turn off your furnace. (This rule of thumb should also go for your air conditioning .)Cover up the air ducts. As you can tell, dust particles from your renovation project are your furnace’s worst enemy. It can be pulled back into your heating (or cooling) system, so it is a good idea to close off some registers and vents. Use medium-adhesion painter’s tape to hold down the edges of a thick plastic cover over your vent. Just do not close all of them at once!Keep most of the dusty work outside. If your renovation project involves dust from sawing, cutting or sanding, ask the contractor to move into your yard or your garage to avoid making a mess in your home. If the contractor absolutely has to do the renovation project inside, make sure that the dust and debris is being swept up or vacuumed with an exhaust attachment regularly.Check your HVAC filter more often. Despite your best efforts to keep the dust and debris away from your furnace, it is impossible to keep track of every particle. Check and replace your HVAC filter a few times throughout the renovation project to make sure it is clean enough to continue your home’s constant airflow. Once the renovation is completed, consider asking your HVAC professional during the post-project check-up if you should have the ducts cleaned.Use a window fan. Carefully place a fan in a window before you begin your home renovations. It will create a slight vacuum that will blow dust outside, keeping particle levels down while your renovations are being completed around your home. For the best airflow, open a window or door that’s across the room from the window fan.Lay down plastic tarps or sheets. Like big paint projects, laying down a plastic tarp or sheet will isolate the renovation area. With dusty renovations, it helps keep those pesky dust particles from floating away to the rest of the house.It’s good to get excited about home renovations, but you should make sure that you are taking care of your existing home and its appliances, especially the furnace. Talk to a professional before your project, cover up your HVAC vents and invest in a fan and vacuum during renovations. Once your renovations are completed, contact the HVAC professional again for a check-up.If you’re looking for that HVAC technician for your pre- and post-renovation check-up, contact Warner Service today.CONTACT WARNER SERVICES(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

However, what about a few lesser known signs, like ice formation on the outdoor unit? Is it because of the winter weather, or is there an underlying problem? Read on for more of Warner Service’s tell-tale signs the HVAC needs servicing: You have a dusty home. If you feel like there's a constant battle between the Swiffer and dust in your home, a dirty system could be the culprit. Excessive dust buildup in the ductwork can carry particles through the conditioned air throughout your home, making it harder for your family to breathe due to poor indoor air quality . This also leads to an inefficient system and a higher energy bill . If you've noticed that your home is dustier than normal, call an HVAC professional for an inspection. The pilot light isn't a steady blue. If your home has a gas furnace , you should plan to periodically check the pilot light. Ideally, it should burn blue to indicate the correct mixture of air and gas as the furnace creates heat. If the pilot light is yellow or orange, it indicates that this mixture is unbalanced, which can lead to the generation of combustible byproducts like carbon monoxide. If you notice that the pilot light is any other color besides a steady blue flame, call a professional for a furnace maintenance check-up. You can see or feel excess moisture. Inefficient heating or cooling causes your home’s humidity levels to skyrocket, leading to condensation that's most noticeable on glass windows, doors and tile flooring. This excess moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth, which is detrimental to your family’s health. To combat this, call the pros at Warner Service. The thermostat is constantly adjusted. If you feel like you're constantly adjusting the thermostat, your home’s system could be at risk. It's most likely that gradual, everyday wear and tear have taken a toll on the system, and maintenance is required. Once the necessary repairs are made, you can easily heat and cool your home to your comfort level. You feel random cool and hot spots. Problems with the central air ducts can lead to random cold and hot spots throughout your home. While you might go to the thermostat for quick answers, it’s best to call a heating and cooling technician for a long-term solution. The air conditioner or heat pump has ice on it. Severe ice formation on outdoor units is a huge problem for homeowners because it causes water damage to the appliance and your property. Ice can be caused by cold weather and snow, or if the unit has poor airflow caused by dust buildup. A refrigerant leak can also cause ice to form on the outside of the appliance, which requires the removal skills of a trained professional. You've had the equipment for awhile. Every 3 to 5 years, homeowners should consider replacing the outdoor condensing unit. Every 5 to 10 years, you should replace the copper refrigerant tubing, evaporator coil, air handler, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas/electric water heaters. For more information, check out our popular blog, A Comprehensive Timeline Of The HVAC In Your Home . While homeowners should be cautious of adjusting the thermostat too often and feeling random warm spots in your home, not every “off” sign is a call for a full-blown repair. Sometimes, the system needs a little TLC for the change in season .

While you shop around, consider a few qualities of a great contractor . Start your comparison by asking these important questions to plumbing professionals before signing the contract:Are you licensed?Many people assume that all plumbers have licenses, but this isn’t always the case. To avoid failing a home inspection or creating a bigger plumbing problem, ask to see all state and local licensing . For Warner Service’s licensing, scroll to the bottom of this page.How long have you been in business?A more experienced plumber often offers a higher quality final product. They also often have a wider network of subcontractors and suppliers in the area.Who are your suppliers and subcontractors?An upstanding contractor has no problem sharing where their supplies come from or who they hire to help . Whether it’s solid copper pipes or a long-lasting water heater, craftsmanship counts. It begins with trustworthy supplies and employees.Is this an estimate?The difference between an estimate and a fixed price is hundreds of dollars. Be wary of any plumber who gives you an estimate over the phone. The best plumbers visit the job site or your home before calculating anything. Also, inquire about similar past projects. This gives you a clearer understanding of the total estimate. This total estimate should include materials, labor, and a contingency plan.Do you clean up your mess?It seems obvious that every plumber should clean up their mess. Yet, some companies don’t take care of old parts or boxes from new materials after finishing a plumbing job. This leaves you with extra chores even after paying top dollar for a replacement or repair. Always ask to include cleanup. A few plumbing companies may charge extra, but it's worth it.What if something breaks?The final contract should also include a guarantee or warranty. Pay attention to the fine print, though. Most warranties come with certain conditions depending on the plumbing project. At this point, you should also check that the plumbing company is bonded and insured. Look for worker's compensation, liability insurance, property damage coverage, building permits, and zoning laws .Do you have references?An established plumbing company is able to back up their superior reputation. A portfolio of professional plumbing projects is great. A few good reviews are even better. Ask your potential new plumber for a few references. Once you get the necessary contact information, ask past customers the following questions: Why did you hire this company? Were you happy with the plumbing project? Was the plumbing job completed on time? Were there any unexpected expenses? Was the final price reasonable for the job? Would you use this plumber again? Would you recommend this plumber? How was your experience with the technician?How do you expect payment?According to HomeAdvisor , “For larger jobs, most professionals charge per project milestone. If you’re working on a smaller project, most plumbers expect payment upon completion of the task. Never hire a pro who requires upfront payment.” Asking these questions ensures that you hire someone who knows what they're doing. You're hiring a plumber who performs quality work. A plumber who won't leave you with an unfinished project.

From the daily operations to the marketing, budgeting, and so much more, your head is practically spinning 24/7. With all of these responsibilities, it’s difficult to remember that your business facility needs some TLC, too. To help you check one more thing off of your to-do list, here’s Warner Service’s hands-off guide to planning HVAC and plumbing maintenance for your business:Do your research: It’s always best to do thorough research when it comes to planning, especially when it involves interrupting your business’ everyday flow. It’s important to remember that this is necessary maintenance, so only the best practices and contractors should be used. You also want to get familiar with the basics of HVAC and plumbing systems, licensing information, and fair pricing – just so you know what’s best for your business. To help your research along, here are a few of quick tips on when maintenance is typically performed:Create a calendar: When you’ve finished your research, it’s time to make a plan. Grab a blank calendar and a pencil to create a timeline of due dates. Choose a specific day that each maintenance step should be completed by instead of a general block of time, but be flexible with contractors. While you’re filling that in…Interview and hire the right contractors: After you’ve created your almighty calendar, it’s time to act. This means scheduling interviews and reading reviews of local HVAC and plumbing specialists. Think about it: You ask questions about a home’s HVAC and plumbing before you sign the mortgage. Why not use that practice for your business? By talking to multiple local contractors, you’ll get a better idea about what their regular maintenance check-ups look like , how much it’ll cost for repairs and/or replacements, and if their licensing information is up-to-date.Notify your employees: Few people enjoy surprises, especially when it’s a stranger by their cubicle who’s halfway up a ladder into the ceiling or a plumber whose gloved hand is in the company toilet. When you’ve scheduled a contractor to perform maintenance during work hours, the next step is to send out a company-wide email to notify your employees in advance. This gives them time to make proper adjustments to their schedule.Be on time: If you’ve picked a good contractor who promises to be there on time, then you should do the same. Be courteous, attentive, and respectful. With all of your new knowledge on plumbing and HVAC and a great interview with a local expert, this maintenance check-up should be a breeze. We understand what it’s like running a business. When your eyes are racing down your to-do list, you might skip over scheduling a maintenance appointment. However, it’s best to follow the guidelines above and call a specialist as soon as possible. CLICK HERE FOR TEMPLATE(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

What about if you have a better understanding of your home’s plumbing? The pipes burst.Easy: Stop water from flowing out of the hole by closing the main shutoff valve, then call your local technicians.Hard: Turn on the cold-water taps to quickly drain the pipes from trapped water and steam.The pipes are frozen .Easy: Close the main shutoff valve before the frozen pipe splits. Turn on a faucet and keep the water running at a constant slow drip while calling the experts.Hard: Apply heat to only the section of the pipe that’s frozen by using an electric heating pad, hair dryer, portable space heater, or warm water-soaked towels. Apply this heat until water pressure has been fully restored.Warning: Don't use any device that has an open flame or chemically flammable properties to thaw a frozen pipe.The washing machine is dying.Easy: If the washing machine is on the fritz, dial an expert for a maintenance check-up and immediate solution.Hard: In the long run, do smaller loads of laundry, and move the washer a few inches away from the wall to prevent the hose from kinking.A fixture's leaking. Easy: Find the shutoff valve that’s specific to the leaky fixture. Check the fixture’s tap for debris, hair, soap scum, and food particles then remove the obstruction.Hard: Follow our quick 8-step guide to fixing a leak on your own, though we highly suggest you call the pros to handle the rest.The water heater is failing.Easy: If you don’t have hot water, contact a professional for the easiest solution.Hard: If you know that the electric water heater is failing due to an obstruction, turn off its power via the circuit breaker. If you have a gas-powered water heater, turn off the valve on the gas supply line that runs to the tank. Next, follow these instructions: Attach a garden hose to the small drain valve on the bottom of the tank. Run it to the outside to remove sump. Shut off the cold water supply to the heater. Open the drain valve and hot water faucet to help drain the system. Shut off the hot water faucet after it's done draining. Turn on the cold water supply to the heater, and let the water flush out of the tank. Shut the drain valve when the water becomes clear. Disconnect the garden hose to allow the tank to fully fill up again. Turn on the electricity or gas.If you have a tankless water heater, it’s about the relief valve. Follow step-by-step cleaning instructions in Water Heater Maintenance 101 .The toilet’s clogged. Easy: Grab a plunger or drain snake.

This kind of odor usually signals something more than just stale air. Instead of brushing it off or masking it with air fresheners, it’s a good idea to address it directly, because lingering smells may be signs of a deeper problem inside your system.If you’ve turned on your air conditioning and noticed an unpleasant smell wafting through your living room vents, you’re not alone. It’s a common issue that households across Frederick experience during the summer months when AC systems are running daily. The cause is often something that has built up inside over time, and getting to the root of the problem early can help keep your home more comfortable and your unit running more efficiently.Common Causes of Musty SmellsWhen an AC sends out air that smells damp, stale, or moldy, there’s usually an issue causing poor air circulation or excess moisture buildup. These odors do not go away on their own and usually get worse if left untreated. Here are the main reasons an air conditioner might start to smell musty:1. Mold and Mildew BuildupAC systems pull moisture from the air as part of the cooling process. If the system isn’t draining this moisture correctly, it can become a breeding ground for mold or mildew. That growth typically happens near the evaporator coils or inside the air ducts, both of which are areas where condensation forms. Once mold establishes itself in your system, the odor will travel throughout your home via the vents.2. Clogged Condensate Drain LineYour AC has a drain line that helps remove the moisture it pulls from the air. Over time, that line can get clogged with debris, algae, or even mold. When that happens, water backs up and collects in the drain pan or other areas inside the system, creating a musty smell that gets worse the more it's ignored.3. Dirty Air FiltersDirty or old air filters can trap moist particles and dust, creating a stale smell when the air flows through them. They also reduce airflow through the system, which causes more moisture to sit in the ducts or other parts of the AC. It’s one of the simplest causes of odor, and replacing the filter regularly is one of the easiest ways to prevent that musty smell from showing up.Here is a quick checklist of common odor causes related to your AC system:- Water pooling around the base of the indoor unit or near the drip pan- Filters that appear damp or discolored- Mold spots near vents or on surfaces in rooms where the odor is strongest- Inconsistent or weak airflow from one or more vents- AC unit switching on and off frequently, without cooling properlyEach of these signs points to a larger issue happening inside the system. If you’ve noticed any of them, it’s best to get help before the problem spreads or causes damage to your home’s air quality.Health Implications of a Musty ACA musty smell alone is unpleasant, but the consequences go beyond just minor discomfort. That damp odor often comes with microscopic mold spores, which travel into the air and end up in the lungs of everyone in the house. This can become especially concerning for family members with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory sensitivities.Even small traces of mold growth in air ducts can produce airborne spores that circulate each time your AC turns on. In homes with older systems or minimal airflow, that contaminated air lingers longer, making indoor air quality worse as time goes on. For example, if your child often sneezes or coughs more during summer afternoons after the AC has run, but not when you’re outside or away from home, your AC could be the source of the issue.Some of the common health effects connected to musty AC systems can include:- Itchy or watery eyes- Persistent coughing- Sneezing or nasal congestion- Throat irritation- Increased asthma symptomsSafe, breathable indoor air starts with identifying and eliminating whatever is letting microbes settle inside your system. When your AC continuously blows air through damp filters or moldy vents, every breath inside the house brings that contaminated air into the body. Keeping the system clean is not just about efficiency or comfort. It also protects the health of those who live there.Preventive Measures to Avoid Musty SmellsDealing with a musty-smelling AC system in the middle of summer can be frustrating, but much of the problem can be avoided with the right care. Once you understand how humidity, dirt, and clogged parts affect your system’s condition, it becomes easier to keep those odors from coming back. Regular upkeep keeps things running smoothly and helps prevent serious issues before they start.Here are

But having a new system installed is not just about choosing the right unit. It also means taking the time to prepare your home so everything goes as smoothly as possible. A little planning now can help you avoid delays, lower the chance of installation issues, and keep your new system running better from the start.Without proper preparation, even the best AC unit can run into problems. Wasted energy, poor airflow, and unnecessary repairs often come from poor setup or skipped steps. Getting things ready before installation day makes it easier for our technicians to do the job quickly and properly, with fewer interruptions. It is also a good chance to resolve any issues that might affect performance, like blocked vents or outdated thermostats.Assessing Your Current SystemOne of the most important steps before AC installation in Urbana is looking closely at your current setup. Whether you are replacing an old air conditioner or switching from a different cooling system, clearing out what is already in place is where everything starts.Begin by checking your current unit to determine if it needs to be removed or if it has already been disconnected. If the system is still running, turn it off fully before the installation appointment. Make sure that old wiring, ductwork, or leftover parts are not going to be in the way. This helps our technicians work faster and reduces the chances of mistakes or delays.Next, examine the space where your new system will go. If the indoor and outdoor units are being placed in the same areas as the old system, measure to confirm there is enough room. If it is going in a new area, confirm that nothing is blocking access to vents or work zones. For example, if your last unit struggled with airflow in upstairs rooms, this might be a good time to review the layout and make changes.Also, look at your electrical system. Most newer AC units have specific power needs, so your current breaker panel may need an upgrade. Even if everything looks fine, it is always safer to have this checked. Below are a few things many homes should review before installation:- Confirm if the electrical panel has open space for any needed AC connections- Check for any damage to old wiring, outlets, or connectors near the AC zone- Take a look at insulation near the ducts and piping to see if it needs replacingThese steps help prevent issues that could cause delays during installation. A clean setup leads to better results and fewer complications on the day your new system is installed.Preparing Your HomeOnce your current system has been reviewed, the next step is getting your living space ready for installation day. This does not mean remodeling or making major changes, but small adjustments that help things run more smoothly. Whether the unit will be installed in your basement, attic, or outside near your yard, clearing the space saves both time and trouble.You will want to remove furniture, storage boxes, or anything else blocking access to vents, electrical panels, or areas where work will take place. If there are bushes, branches, or other plants near the outdoor unit, trim those back a few days before the appointment. Giving our technicians enough space to work makes it easier for them to safely set up the system.A few things you can do to prep your home include:1. Clear outdoor areas near where the condenser unit will be placed2. Move any fragile decorations or furniture in paths to ducts or vents3. Remove rugs or runners in high-traffic install zones for safety4. Make sure attic or basement access is open and not obstructed5. Disconnect or turn off any smart home systems linked to your old thermostatAlso, think about your thermostat placement, especially if you are upgrading to a newer model. Placing the thermostat away from heat sources or direct sunlight helps the system read temperatures more accurately. This helps avoid short cycling or uneven cooling throughout the day.Keep small children and pets safely away from the work area. Installation involves tools, electrical work, and possibly sharp parts, so keeping the space clear helps avoid accidents. Moving pets to a separate part of the house and warning children ahead of time keeps everyone safe and helps our technicians focus on the job without surprise distractions.Scheduling and Coordinating With ProfessionalsOnce your home is ready, coordinating the actual installation is the next important step. Most homeowners in Urbana have busy schedules, so it is helpful to plan ahead. Make sure to choose a day and time when you or another adult can be home and available to answer questions. This avoids delays

When the unit starts turning on and off too frequently, struggles to keep your home cool, and runs up your energy bills, it's not something to overlook. This on-and-off behavior is known as short cycling, and it’s a signal that something’s not quite right with the system. Whether you're sitting around your living room hearing the AC restart every few minutes or you're noticing uneven cooling across your home, short cycling can seriously hurt your comfort and your unit’s lifespan.For many homeowners in Middletown, summer brings large temperature swings outdoors and high demand on indoor air conditioning. That means if your system is struggling, it'll show. Short cycling can wear out your AC faster, lead to warm spots around the house, and cause the system to run inefficiently. The sooner you find the source of the problem, the easier it is to stop it from turning into a major issue. Here’s what short cycling means, why it happens, and how to spot it before damage builds up.What Is AC Short Cycling?Short cycling happens when your air conditioning system turns on, runs for a short time, then shuts off before reaching the set temperature. It starts up again within minutes, repeating that cycle much faster than it should. A healthy AC unit typically runs long enough to cool your home evenly and control humidity. But when it short cycles, it struggles to keep a steady temperature and consumes more energy.This constant stopping and starting creates extra wear and tear on parts like the compressor and fan motor. If left unaddressed, it can shorten the system’s lifespan and increase the number of repairs needed over time. Even newer units can face this issue if something is blocking normal operation. You might first notice it as a dip in comfort levels or higher electric bills, even though the AC seems to be running more often than usual.If your Middletown home isn’t staying cool even with the air running, and you notice the system shutting off just a few minutes after starting, short cycling is a likely cause. Quality cooling isn’t just about how cold the air feels. It’s about steady, reliable performance. Without consistent cycles, the AC can’t properly remove moisture from the air or maintain the set temperature.Common Causes of AC Short CyclingSeveral issues can cause your AC to short cycle. Some of them are simple, like a clogged filter, while others involve far more complex components. Here are a few of the most common reasons:1. Thermostat Problems- If the thermostat is placed too close to a vent or window, it can register the room as cooler than it really is. That can make the system shut off too early, starting and stopping over and over.- Incorrect settings or a faulty thermostat sensor can also give false readings, triggering the AC to respond in bursts instead of longer, steady cycles.2. Low Refrigerant- Without enough refrigerant, your system may overheat or freeze up. Both situations can cause the unit to short cycle.- Leaks are a common reason for low refrigerant and require inspection from our technicians right away.3. Dirty Air Filter- A clogged air filter restricts airflow and makes the system work harder than it should. When airflow drops too low, the coils can freeze.- That ice buildup prevents the system from operating normally, leading to short cycling.4. Oversized AC Unit- If the unit is too large for the home, it will cool the space too fast. At first, that sounds like a benefit, but it causes short bursts of operation.- Those quick runs don’t give the AC time to dehumidify or circulate air properly, resulting in temperature swings and higher wear on the system.Short cycling isn’t something to brush aside. Even if your home stays fairly cool, these short bursts can reduce efficiency and increase your chances for future repairs. Homeowners in Middletown often notice these symptoms during peak cooling season, when AC units are under the most pressure. One local customer found their energy bills rising every month despite keeping their thermostat settings the same. After checking the system, it turned out that a poorly placed thermostat was causing rapid cycles throughout the day.Knowing what causes short cycling is the first step in tackling the issue before it turns into a breakdown. Recognizing the warning signs early can help you take the right action before comfort slips and cost jumps.Signs Your AC Is Short CyclingSpotting short cycling early can help avoid bigger, more expensive problems down the road. When an AC system keeps starting and stopping before it finishes a proper cycle, several warning signs begin to show.Here’s what Middletown homeowners should look out for:- Frequent On and Off Cyc

Whether you're taking a shower, washing dishes, or watering your garden, maintaining consistent water flow ensures these tasks are efficient and enjoyable. Homeowners often overlook water pressure issues thinking they're minor, but over time, these can lead to more significant plumbing concerns. Addressing such problems early can save you from future headaches and ensure that your daily routines aren't disrupted.If you've noticed a trickle instead of a steady stream, it might be time to take a closer look at the plumbing in your Urbana home. Low water pressure can be a sign of various underlying issues. Understanding these can not only help you diagnose potential problems but also know when to call our professionals for a trusted solution.Causes of Low Water Pressure1. Mineral Buildup and Sediment in Pipes- Over time, minerals and sediments from the water supply can accumulate in your home's plumbing pipes. This buildup can restrict water flow, leading to noticeably lower pressure. Regular cleaning and maintenance of pipes can help prevent this issue.2. Leaks in the Plumbing System- Leaks are another common culprit. Even a small, unseen leak can cause a significant drop in pressure. Inspecting visible pipes for any dampness or pooling water can help identify potential leaks that need repair.3. Faulty Pressure Regulator- The pressure regulator is a device attached to your plumbing system that keeps water pressure at a safe level. If it's malfunctioning, you might experience unexpectedly low water pressure. Checking and adjusting the pressure regulator can quickly resolve this issue.4. Issues with the Municipal Water Supply- Sometimes, the problem isn't within your home at all. Local water supply issues can also affect the water pressure in your home. Contacting local authorities can provide information on any ongoing supply problems or scheduled maintenance activities that might be causing your pressure troubles.By understanding these common causes, you can better diagnose your specific issue and take appropriate action. If your efforts to adjust and remedy the situation aren’t improving, contacting our technicians to assess and handle more complex repairs is a step in the right direction. Regular maintenance and inspections can also preempt many of these issues, ensuring your home enjoys consistent, reliable water pressure year-round.DIY Solutions for Temporary ReliefWhen faced with low water pressure in your Urbana home, there are a few simple actions you can take to see if they make any difference. These steps aren't permanent solutions, but they might provide short-term relief until more comprehensive measures are taken.- Cleaning Aerators and Showerheads: Over time, mineral deposits can clog the tiny holes in aerators and showerheads, restricting water flow. Removing and soaking them in vinegar can dissolve buildup and improve water flow.- Checking and Addressing Visible Leaks: Inspect all faucets, showerheads, and visible pipes. If you notice any drips or puddles, fixing these leaks might help restore some water pressure.- Adjusting the Pressure Regulator: If your home is equipped with a pressure regulator, ensure it's set correctly. Sometimes, minor adjustments can help improve water pressure.- Removing Any Visible Blockages: Inspect areas where water flow seems weak and clear any visible obstructions that might be causing blockages. This simple act can sometimes make a noticeable difference.When to Call a Professional PlumberEven after trying these temporary solutions, there may come a point when you'll need to rely on expert help. Persistent low water pressure often signals more complex plumbing issues that require a trained eye for proper diagnosis and repair.- Persistent Low Water Pressure: If you continue experiencing low water pressure despite attempting minor fixes, it's time to call our technicians. Continued low pressure can indicate deeper issues within your plumbing system that need comprehensive examination.- Unidentified Leaks or Suspected Hidden Leaks: Not all leaks are easy to spot. If you suspect a hidden leak is affecting your water pressure, our professionals have the tools and expertise to identify and fix these issues.- Issues with the Main Water Supply Line: If problems stem from the main supply line, they will likely need more than just a quick fix. Professionals can evaluate the situation and provide long-term solutions tailored to your specific needs.- Professional Assessment and Repairs: Our plumbers can assess your entire plumbing system to uncover underlying problems that may not be obvious to an untrained eye.

However, with summer's arrival, many people ask about the anatomy of their window and central A/C units. How does a window air conditioner work? Photo courtesy of Green Living Ideas Adjustable Louvers This function helps direct the airflow in the direction of your choice. Most controls have at least up-and-down control of the air. Some units may have left and right louver controls as well. By adjusting these louvers, you can optimize the distribution of cool air throughout the room, ensuring comfort during hot days. Blower The blower is a crucial component that transfers warm air away from a desired location and returns cold air. It ensures that the air in your home remains at a comfortable temperature by circulating the cooled air efficiently. Evaporator Coil Located inside or near the air handler where the blower fan is, evaporator coils are made from copper, steel, or aluminum to help the coolant become gaseous, absorbing heat from the surrounding air. This process is vital for cooling the air, as it removes the heat from the indoor environment and provides a steady supply of cool air. Compressor The compressor pressurizes the gas within the air conditioning system. This pressurization is essential for the refrigeration cycle, allowing the system to absorb heat from indoor air and release it outdoors. Condenser Coil The condenser coil is the area where heated gas becomes a liquid, releasing its heat to the outside air. This process is essential for maintaining the efficiency of the air conditioning unit, as it ensures that the absorbed heat is expelled from the system. Control Panel The control panel allows you to manage the air conditioning functions, from the fan speed and timers to auto random reset and other settings. It is the interface through which you can customize your cooling preferences. Fan The fan inside the window air conditioning unit's assembly is located between the condenser and the evaporator coil. Its double shaft fits the blower on one side and the condenser fan on the other side. This fan plays a vital role in maintaining the flow of air across the coils, ensuring efficient cooling. Filter Air filters prevent dust and grime from building up on air conditioner’s coils and improve indoor air quality by keeping dust out of your home. Regular maintenance of these filters is crucial for the efficiency and longevity of your A/C system. Front Grill The front grill provides a direction to the air that’s being distributed into your home. It also protects you from the mesh filter screen and mechanics of the window air conditioning unit. Proper maintenance of the grill ensures unobstructed airflow and optimal performance. Partition The partition separates the fan from the blower, allowing air to freely flow through the window air conditioning unit. This separation is vital for the efficient operation of the unit, as it prevents the mixing of warm air and cool air within the system. Thermostat Sensor The thermostat sensor detects temperatures and sends a resistance signal to the A/C control panel, allowing automatic adjustments to maintain the correct temperature in your home. This feature enhances comfort by ensuring consistent indoor temperatures. How does a central air conditioner work? It’s important to realize that window A/C units are smaller versions of central air conditioners, which means the latter still contains a compressor, evaporator and condenser coils, fan, thermostat sensor, air filter, and blower. You can see those parts in the diagram below: Photo courtesy of Altitude Comfort Air Duct In a home’s distributed heating and cooling system, air flows through a system of air ducts that evenly distribute heat and air conditioning throughout your home . Proper insulation and maintenance of these ducts are essential for an energy-efficient system. Condensation Drain Tube This part removes condensation produced by the air conditioner's evaporator coil. It prevents the growth of algae and mold, elevated humidity, musty odors, and water damage inside your home. Regular cleaning of the drain tube ensures the proper functioning of the A/C system. Floor Drain A floor drain is a plumbing fixture installed in the floor of your home. It’s designed to remove any standing water near it, preventing water damage from a broken condensation drain tube. This feature is crucial for protecting your home from potential water-related issues. Furnace Blower Switch A furnace’s blower circulates air throughout your home, and the switch controls whether it’s on or off. This switch is an integral part of your heating and cooling systems, allowing for manual control when necessary. Copper Tubes Copper tubes keep the flowing air warm. Copper is used instead of aluminum because of its resistance

When it comes to air duct cleaning, you’re likely to hear a lot of opposing views.Some techs believe that it’s necessary while others believe it doesn’t hurt nor help your HVAC system. We’ll meet you in the middle:Who should clean your air ducts?According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency , this isn't a DIY project. They suggest contacting the National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) for local recommendations. Here are a few tips from the EPA when looking to hire:Don’t hire anyone who make claims about the health benefits of duct cleaning as such claims are unsubstantiated.Don’t hire those who recommend air cleaning as a routine part of HVAC maintenance.Be wary of those who claim to be EPA certified because the organization neither establishes duct cleaning standards nor certifies, endorses, or approves companies.Contact the local Better Business Bureau to determine if complaints exist against any company you’re considering.Check references to be sure others were satisfied.Ensure that they: some textsome textAre experienced in air duct cleaningUse protective proceduresComply with NADCA air duct cleaning standardsUnderstand North American Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) recommendations if you have fiberglass duct board or insulated internally with fiber glass duct linerProvide a written agreement outlining the total cost, duration, and scope of work prior to startingWhat are air ducts?When you install a distributed heating and cooling system, it works via a system of air ducts that evenly distribute heat and air conditioning throughout your home.When should you schedule an appointment?According to Angie’s List , “NADCA experts argue the need for cleaning depends on a variety of factors, including pets, smoking, recent renovations, local weather conditions and overall home cleanliness.”However, it shouldn't be part of regular or seasonal HVAC maintenance.Why should you get the ducts cleaned?The EPA highly suggests air duct cleaning only if you can see or smell:Substantial visible mold growthVermin like insects and rodentsExcessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particlesLingering odors from cigarettesPet hairFire or flood residueYou might also consider it because it's logical that they’ll get dirty over time. Provided that the cleaning is done properly, no evidence suggests that such cleaning would be detrimental.Otherwise, “research suggests that cleaning heating and cooling system components...may improve the efficiency of your system, resulting in a longer operating life, as well as some energy and maintenance cost savings. However, little evidence exists that cleaning only the ducts will improve the efficiency of the system.”Where are the benefits if no evidence exists?Air cleaning cleaning could result in:Increased respiratory healthIncreased air conditioner efficiencyDecreased mold growth and offensive odorsHow does a professional clean air ducts?It depends on the size of your HVAC system, accessibility, climatic region, and level of contamination.A professional usually cleans various components of forced air systems, including supply and return air ducts and registers, grilles and diffusers, heat exchangers, coils, condensate drain/drip pans, fan motor and housing, and air handling unit housing.Methods vary, but standards have been established by industry associations. Typically, a service provider will use specialized rotary brushes to dislodge dirt and debris, then suck everything out with a high-powered vacuum cleaner.In conclusion, you should avoid companies that suggest doing this regularly because there's no evidence that only air duct cleaning is beneficial to your system or indoor air quality -- unless you have one of the six reasons above.If you want to substantially improve your indoor air quality right away, download Warner Service’s Indoor Air Quality Guide by clicking below: CONTACT WARNER SERVICE(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

Discover the Best BlogsStay up to date with our latest and most popular posts.Home>Blog>Air Filter BasicsAir Filter BasicsAir filters are a critical part of your home’s air conditioning unit -- and keeping your family breathing quality indoor air. To better understand this component, check out Warner Service’s 101 guide:Types Of FiltersDisposable Air FiltersDisposable filters are more conventional and common than reusable filters. Disposable filters are more user-friendly, as you simply install the filter in your HVAC system then, in one to three months (depending on your home’s indoor air quality), remove the filter. Throw the filter away, and replace it.The downsides to disposable air filters include cost and environmental impact. Because disposable filters must be replaced at least 12 times per year, the cost adds up quickly. In addition, disposable filters have a negative impact on the environment, as they often pile up in landfills.Reusable FiltersReusable filters are more appealing to homes that value cost savings and environmental friendliness. They’re generally thicker than disposable filters, and in turn, last longer.However, they must be maintained on a regular basis. Once every three to four months, reusable filters must be washed to clean off dust and dirt to improve your home’s indoor air quality. Keeping reusable filters clean also extends their life beyond disposable filters, but dirt can still form permanently over time, which means that performance will begin to suffer. Because of this, reusable filters should be replaced about once every five years.Despite their higher price upfront, the overall lifespan of these filters ends up saving you money in the long run. Plus, because they’re disposed of only once every five years, the waste produced by reusable filters is minimal in comparison.Energy EfficiencyAfter deciding on which type of filter is right for your home, you should consider the energy efficiency you’ll need. Filters, both disposable and reusable, are rated according to the size of the particles they can filter.These ratings are according to the Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) scale. A lower MERV value means that the filter is more effective at removing large particles, such as pollen, dust mites, and carpet fibers. A higher MERV rating means that the filter is better at catching small particles like bacteria, viruses, and smoke.Another acronym that matters is HEPA, also known as High Efficiency Particulate Air filters. These filters use static electricity to catch particles in the air. The correct energy efficiency will depend on where the filter is located. HEPA filters and those with high MERV ratings can potentially restrict airflow, whereas filters with low MERV ratings don’t filter particles as well.A compromise may be to install a UV (ultraviolet) Light Filter system to be used with a HEPA filter, separated from the main ductwork. This setup will allow for optimal filtering without sacrificing airflow performance.MaintenanceWhen it comes to how and when to change your home’s air filter, most homeowners will need to change their air filters once per month. If you have reusable filters, replace it every five years and wash it about once per three to four months.Common ProblemsCommon air conditioning problems include a loud or leaky unit, or one that blows hot air. For more details on the worst A/C problems, check out Warner Service’s Why Your Air Conditioning Won’t Start When You Need It Most or 20 Things That Could Be Wrong With Your Air Conditioner.Who To CallIf you find that your home has air conditioning problems often, call a local HVAC technician as soon as possible for an HVAC maintenance check-up. Explain the sounds you hear and how often, how your home has been affected, and other noteworthy details.Changing and maintaining your home’s air conditioning air filters is only one part of crucial HVAC maintenance.

## Main Content:
Discover the Best BlogsStay up to date with our latest and most popular posts.Home>Blog>Are Copper Pipes Still The Right Choice?Are Copper Pipes Still The Right Choice? When the move was first made from using lead pipes in homes to copper plumbing, it was thought that these pipes would last much longer. Most experts predicted that these pipes would continue to work well for up to 20 to 25 years. There are two factors that were not considered by these experts, however: the quality of the copper pipes and the quality of the water. For the most part, copper plumbing quality has been acceptable and has not resulted in early breakdown of the pipes since its adoption. However, homes built in 2004 and later that used copper plumbing pipes shipped from China have experienced some issues with their build quiality. Just as we came to hear about the dangers of Chinese drywall, it is also becoming evident that much of their copper plumbing is also defective. Homes are experiencing failures as early as 2 years after installation, resulting in the need for entirely new plumbing systems for those homes. Although this piping is not being shipped into the country at the rate it once was, it is still available, so new home builders should be careful that it is not being used in their home. The next issue regarding copper plumbing is the quality of the water. If your water contains many minerals (hard water), it can result in buildup in the pipes and lead to pinhole leaks as early as two years after installation. Water chemistry is very important to understand, and getting your water tested and putting in a water conditioner just might save you the expense of replacing your plumbing system far sooner than expected. So if you are in the process of building a new home or replacing an old plumbing system, what should you do to prevent the issues associated with these copper pipes? First, check the quality of those pipes, as copper is still the standard for piping and can offer a long-lasting plumbing system if the pipe is well made. Obviously be warry of copper pipes manufactured in China, but regardless of the manufacturer be sure to do your research now to save yourself from headaches and expenses later. If you are looking for another option, a growing number of homes in the US have started using Polypropylene Pipe. Best for water safety: Polypropylene pipe (PP) Strengths: It hasen't gotten much attention in the U.S. until recently, but PP has a 30-year history in Europe, where it enjoys an unblemished record for durability and health safety. It’s a rigid plastic pipe, like CPVC, but it’s not joined together with chemicals. Instead, heat is used to melt the mating ends and fuse them permanently together. Enviro factor: If you want to go green, this is the best option. There are no safety concerns about chemicals leaching from PP, and there’s no reason the pipes shouldn’t last practically forever. PP is the future of water pipes. Cost: Installing it requires specialty tools that are cost-prohibitive for a small DIY plumbing project, but that aren’t a burdensome investment for a professional plumber who’ll use them again and again. $110 for 100 feet. Because many homes' pipes are under slab and unseen, it isn’t always immediately apparent when there is a problem with copper plumbing. There may be obvious water leaks or there just may be higher than normal water bills. Many plumbers are equipped with testing devices that can locate water leaks, so if you are concerned you may have a problem, you can schedule a service visit to find out for sure. If you need help with your personal plumbing system, give Warner Service a call to have a Qualified Technician inspect and address your plumbing needs.

A clogged dryer vent can lead to reduced performance, higher energy costs, and a serious fire hazard. Even though it is often overlooked, regular dryer vent cleaning is a necessary step to ensure your dryer functions safely and optimally.The Importance of Dryer Vent CleaningDryer vent cleaning is a critical aspect of home maintenance, yet it's often overlooked by many homeowners. Neglecting this task can lead to significant risks, with the potential for severe consequences. One of the primary dangers of not cleaning your dryer vent is the increased risk of fire. Lint accumulates inside the vent system over time and can become a significant fire hazard. As the dryer operates, the heat it produces can ignite this trapped lint, potentially causing a house fire. Regular cleaning reduces this risk, offering peace of mind and safety for your household.Besides the fire hazard, clogged dryer vents can severely impact your appliance's performance. A blocked vent forces the dryer to work harder to expel moisture and heat, leading to decreased efficiency. This inefficiency not only extends drying times but also increases energy consumption. Consequently, you'll notice higher utility bills, which can strain your household budget over time. Furthermore, overworking the dryer can lead to premature wear and tear, shortening its lifespan and necessitating costly repairs or replacements.Reduced airflow from a clogged dryer vent can also contribute to increased indoor humidity. This excess moisture can create an ideal environment for mold and mildew, posing health risks. Regular vent cleaning ensures that your dryer operates smoothly, maintaining optimal airflow and preserving indoor air quality. By committing to routine dryer vent cleaning, you protect your home from potential hazards and help your appliances run more efficiently, ultimately saving you money and ensuring a safer living environment.Key Signs Your Dryer Vent Needs CleaningRecognizing when your dryer vent needs cleaning is essential for maintaining efficient operation and preventing potential hazards. Certain telltale signs can indicate it's time for this crucial maintenance task. One of the most common indicators is longer drying times. If your clothes are taking more than a single cycle to dry, it might be due to a blocked vent restricting airflow. This inefficiency not only wastes energy but also signals that the vent needs attention.Another sign is a burning smell during or after using the dryer. This odor can occur when trapped lint gets too hot, posing a fire risk. If this burning smell is present, it is important to stop using the dryer and seek professional cleaning immediately to prevent potential fire hazards.Excessive heat in the laundry room or on the dryer itself is another red flag. If the exterior of the dryer feels hotter than usual or the laundry room becomes noticeably warmer, it may indicate poor vent airflow. This can cause the dryer to overheat, increasing the risk of a malfunction.Visible lint accumulation around the dryer vent or duct is another sign that cleaning is overdue. Lint should be confined to the lint trap; seeing it outside the usual areas implies that the vent is clogged. Inspecting the vent occasionally for visible build-up can help you stay ahead of maintenance needs.Increased presence of dust in the laundry area can also signal a dirty vent. When the vent is clogged, it can allow lint and dust to escape into your home's air, detracting from air quality and cleanliness. Observing these signs will help ensure that your dryer vent remains efficient and safe, highlighting the need for professional cleaning when necessary.The Dryer Vent Cleaning ProcessThe dryer vent cleaning process is a methodical approach undertaken by our technicians to ensure safety and efficiency. This process begins with an initial inspection to assess the current condition of the vent. Our professionals use specialized cameras and tools to detect any obstructions or issues that may not be visible from the outside. This initial assessment guides the cleaning strategy and helps identify potential problem areas.Once the inspection is complete, technicians employ various tools designed to thoroughly clean the vent system. High-powered vacuums and rotary brushes are used to dislodge and remove extensive lint build-up. Rotary brushes scrub the interior surfaces of the vent, breaking down stubborn deposits that can accumulate over time. These tools ensure that the vent is free of blockages, improving the airflow and functionality of the dryer.In addition to mechanical cleaning, the process involves checking and cleaning the vent cap outside your home. Weather and environmental factors can cause

Though you could look for alternatives without touching the thermostat, it is easy to find the few culprits to this muggy crime. The good news is that most of them are solved with an easy fix. Here is Warner Service’s guide to finding and fixing your hot air conditioner: Problem: Poor airflow can cause a series of problems, including debris and dirt circulating throughout your home. This build-up in a clogged air filter can lead to reduced cooling as well as allergies and asthma. Solution: Replace your air filter regularly. You can also inspect your outdoor unit for grass clippings and other outdoor debris on the fins, which can be cleaned with a soft brush. Problem: Dusty evaporator coils on your indoor air conditioning unit interferes with your A/C’s ability to cool your home, which can potentially make it seem like the unit is blowing hot air. Solution: Clean the component by first turning off the air conditioning unit at the thermostat and shutting off the electricity to the air handler. Next, remove the evaporator coil access panel with a socket wrench. You can now blow compressed air over the coils, clean it with a soft brush (which should be done every 3 to 4 months for maintenance) or use a foam cleanser into the drain pan. If you do not feel comfortable attempting any of these methods, contact a professional right away.Problem: The power switch may have accidentally been off, or the plug could have gotten loose on the outdoor condenser. Even though your indoor fan may continue to run, the system will not cool the air. Solution: Simply plug the unit back in or turn it on again. While you are at it, if you have a heat pump, check your thermostat settings to make sure your system is set to “cool” not “heat” mode. You should also double check to see if the fan switch is on “auto.”Problem: Your system continues to blow hot air, which means it is steadily losing its cooling capacity. This, along with damage, deterioration and/or installation error of your unit, could cause a serious and toxic refrigerant or, if you have an older unit, Freon leak, leading to complete stoppage of cool air. Solution: You can check for either type of leak by seeing if there is any ice on your indoor unit’s copper refrigerant lines. If you find ice, contact a professional immediately. They will either recharge or replace your refrigerant.Trust us: There may be nothing worse than going through an incredibly warm day with hot air circulating throughout your house. You should replace the air filter once per month, and check all of the thermostat’s settings. However, the best way to avoid all of the problems mentioned above is by simply scheduling a routine maintenance check for your air conditioning unit. You can do this by contacting Warner Service today. CONTACT WARNER SERVICES(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

Discover the Best BlogsStay up to date with our latest and most popular posts.Home>Blog>Boiler Basics for BeginnersBoiler Basics for BeginnersDoes anyone really know what a boiler does?Unfortunately, most homeowners aren’t brushed up on their boiler knowledge, but Warner Service is here to help explain what a boiler is, what it does, and which types you should consider for your home.What is a boiler? A boiler is an appliance that heats (and occasionally boils, though that’s not the purpose) water. It is often confused with a furnace , which is only used for high-temperature heating .What does a boiler do? The appliance heats your home’s water for various uses, including cooking, showering, and central heating .How does a boiler run? There are many different types of energy that power a boiler, including wood, coal, oil, natural gas and resistance heating elements.Are there different types of boilers? There sure are. There are typically 3 different types of boilers: a combination boiler, a system boiler, and a regular boiler. We've outlined the details of each for you below:A combination boiler: “Combi” boilers combine a high-efficiency water heater and a central heating boiler. They heat water directly from the main water line, so you don’t need a cylinder for storing water. They’re cost-effective and energy-efficient. Because of this boiler, many homeowners enjoy having a powerful shower without the excess expense for a separate pump.A system boiler: These boilers require a cylinder for storing hot water, but the majority of heating and hot water system components are built into the actual boiler, which makes it quicker and easier to install. These boilers also don’t require a tank and are compatible with solar water heating systems, resulting in lower energy bills.A regular boiler: A regular boiler is also called a traditional, conventional or heat only boiler. It does contain a cylinder for storing hot water and requires two tanks, one for cold-water storage and another for maintaining water levels of the central heating system. It is also compatible with solar water heating systems, resulting in the same eco-friendliness.Which boiler is best for my home?If you live in a home with an old radiator system, you may want to consider a regular boiler. This boiler is also good for homes with two or more bathrooms, and for homes in areas where water pressure is naturally low.If you live in a larger home that requires a constant supply of hot water to multiple taps at the same time, consider a system boiler.If you live in a smaller home, talk to a professional about a combination boiler since it doesn’t require as much pipework, loft space, or a hot-water cylinder.How do I take care of my boiler? The biggest tip on boiler maintenance is to check it twice per month for leakage as this can potentially cause home flooding and mildew build-up. For more information on how to take care of your home’s boiler, check out Warner Service’s go-to maintenance tips .If you would like to schedule a maintenance visit for the boiler in your home, contact Warner Service today. We’d be happy to help.CONTACT WARNER SERVICE(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

We at Warner Service can’t believe that Labor Day has already passed and that the cold months will be here before we know it! With this in mind, Warner Service really wants to encourage you to prepare for the cold this year by testing your HVAC system before you need it for winter.This gives you time if there are any issues with your heating system to make repairs so that your home is ready to be heated on the first day you need it.The first step to getting your HVAC system ready for the winter is to make sure the outside components are clean and ready to go. However, be sure to turn off the power to the unit and unplug it before looking at any of the parts closely for safety purposes. Below are a couple of key components to check: 1. The Outside of your UnitFirst, be sure to examine the outside casing around your heat pump unit. Often because of the storms we receive in the Mid-Atlantic region, dirt, mud, and debris can build up on the side of your unit. This buildup can cause inefficiencies and block the flow of air in your home. Your home’s heat pump is responsible for forcing air in or out of your home to keep it fresh and clean, in addition to warm.If that airflow is disrupted, your HVAC system will need to work harder than necessary to move the air, causing increased energy costs. In addition, the air in your home will be less pure and the temperatures in your house will not be as consistent. Luckily, fixing this issue takes almost no time at all: simply use a broom or a brush to clean the outside of your unit to be back up and running in no time. 2. The FanThe next area to focus on when cleaning your outside HVAC unit is the top fan. The fan is the component of the heat pump unit that does the actual pumping. The fan in your unit spins very quickly to move the air inside your home, and can become very dangerous if it is obstructed by debris. Similar to what we did on the side of the unit, check the top for any branches or other large obstructions.In addition, as the leaves begin to fall, make sure that they are not entering into your fan, especially if they are wet. Leaves are usually kept out of HVAC units by the protective grate on top of the fan, but if they do enter they can damage some of the moving internal parts. Maintaining your fan is simple: keep your fan clear, and it will keep your house warm.3. The Condenser CoilNext, be sure to check the condenser coil on the inside of your unit. The condenser coil is also what we cleaned in step one, but checking the inside of the coil is always a good idea as well. It is best to use water to clean the inside of the coils (especially before you need to worry about frozen hoses!) because the dirt/dust will flow from the inside to the outside of your unit, keeping the internals and the base of the unit clean and functioning.Do not, however, get any water on the fan motor or any wires on the inside of the unit. Finally, after the unit dries out, use a vacuum to remove any outstanding dirt/debris from the inside of your unit (just watch out for wires and other small parts).4. The MechanicsFinally, one of the most important parts of your outdoor unit to check before heating season is here is the condition of the mechanics inside. The most important internals to check are belts and the fan motor. The belts, just like car belts, can sometimes fray and dry out, putting them at risk in your unit. Be sure to check these belts and replace them if necessary.Next, the fan motor should also be checked and maintained. Fan motors should be lubricated once a year with a small amount (a couple of drops) of oil to keep parts safe. Next, watch your fan as it runs to see if there are any noticeable issues. To be sure, however, it is suggested that a certified HVAC technician examines your unit.With these tips, you can get your HVAC unit outside ready for the coming winter and give yourself some peace of mind as well. To fully prepare for the coming winter, give Warner Service a call to have a certified technician examine your individual heating system to ensure that it will work on the first day you need it!

For many homeowners in Walkersville, maintaining free-flowing pipes is essential for ensuring a smooth-running household. Ignoring clogs can lead to more significant issues, such as pipe damage and flooding, which are far more difficult and expensive to resolve. Understanding the importance of addressing these problems swiftly can save homeowners time, stress, and money.In many cases, deep clogs are caused by the buildup of materials like hair, soap scum, and food particles. These can settle in your pipes over time, creating blockages that aren't easy to fix with simple household tools. Professional methods, including drain snaking and other advanced techniques, are highly effective for clearing these persistent obstructions. This article will cover the professional methods used to address such clogs and why it is advantageous to utilize expert services in Walkersville to maintain your plumbing health.Importance Of Professional Drain Snaking ServicesWhen it comes to persistent clogs, professional attention is often needed to ensure effective solutions. Deep clogs can do more than just slow down water drainage—they can disrupt the entire plumbing system. If left untreated, these blockages can cause water to back up into your home, leading to water damage, unpleasant odors, and even health hazards.Here are some reasons to consider professional drain snaking services:- Comprehensive Cleaning: Unlike store-bought cleaners, professional drain snaking thoroughly clears out clogs. Our technicians use specialized equipment to reach deep within the pipes to remove obstructions completely.- Preventing Further Damage: Persistent clogs can put a strain on your plumbing system, leading to cracks and leaks. A professional drain snake not only clears these clogs but also helps preserve the integrity of your pipes.- Safe Solutions: Using professional services is safer for your plumbing system compared to chemical drain cleaners, which can corrode pipes and lead to more significant issues over time.- Peace of Mind: Hiring our professionals assures you that the job is done right. You can feel confident knowing your plumbing system is in capable hands.Professional drain snaking provides a targeted approach to removing clogs, ensuring your pipes are restored to optimal function without the risk of additional damage. For homeowners in Walkersville, investing in these services is a wise step toward maintaining a reliable and efficient plumbing system.Advanced Techniques For Clearing Deep ClogsAddressing deep clogs often requires advanced techniques that go beyond the reach of ordinary tools. One effective method is hydro-jetting, which uses high-pressure streams of water to dissolve blockages and thoroughly clean the pipe walls. This method is particularly effective for dealing with stubborn materials like grease and mineral deposits, ensuring a comprehensive removal of potential clogging agents.Another invaluable tool in the fight against deep clogs is the use of camera inspections. These inspections allow technicians to visually assess the interior condition of pipes, pinpointing the exact location and nature of clogs. By having a clear view, our professionals can tailor their approach and choose the most appropriate method to clear the obstruction efficiently.Rooter services are another crucial technique, especially when dealing with clogs caused by tree roots infiltrating the pipes. This process involves the use of powerful equipment to cut through roots and remove debris that traditional methods might not handle. Employing these advanced techniques can significantly improve the effectiveness of clearing drains and contribute to a more robust plumbing system in Walkersville.Warner Service’s Expertise In WalkersvilleWith expertise honed over years of service, our team is well-acquainted with the unique plumbing challenges faced by residents in Walkersville. Our professionals are equipped with state-of-the-art tools and undergo continuous training to stay ahead of industry standards.

When an HVAC system begins to fail, it can lead to uncomfortable conditions, unhappy employees, and even disrupted business operations. Recognizing the early signs that your HVAC system needs repair can help avoid major breakdowns and costly repairs.Unusual Noises and OdorsOne of the first signs that your commercial HVAC system needs repair is the presence of unusual noises or odors. When your HVAC system is running smoothly, it should operate quietly with minimal sound. If you hear loud banging, grinding, or squealing noises, it might indicate a serious issue. These sounds can be caused by failing components such as bearings, belts, or motors. Ignoring these noises can lead to more significant damage and costly repairs.Our professionals can quickly diagnose the source of these noises and provide the necessary repairs to prevent further damage. Similarly, unusual odors are a red flag. A musty smell could indicate mold growth within the ducts or components of the system, which can affect indoor air quality. A burning odor might signify overheating or electrical issues that need immediate attention.Addressing these issues promptly with the help of our technicians ensures that minor problems don’t escalate into major system failures. Regular maintenance can often catch these early signs and resolve them before they become more severe.Inconsistent Temperature and Poor AirflowInconsistent temperatures and poor airflow are other common signs that your commercial HVAC system requires repair. If some areas of your building are too hot while others are too cold, it may indicate an issue with zoning, thermostats, or even the HVAC system itself. Poor airflow might result from clogged filters, blocked vents, or problems within the ductwork.Our technicians can inspect and clean your system's components, including duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning, to ensure proper airflow. Inconsistent temperatures may also stem from issues with the thermostat or low refrigerant levels. Swift action can prevent these issues from disrupting the comfort of your workplace.An effective HVAC system should maintain consistent temperatures and proper airflow throughout your building. By addressing these problems early, you ensure that your system operates efficiently and provides a comfortable environment for all occupants. Taking the time to investigate and solve these issues with professional help will enhance the reliability and performance of your commercial HVAC system.Increased Energy Bills and Frequent CyclingAnother sign that your commercial HVAC system needs repair is a noticeable increase in energy bills. If you notice a sudden spike in your energy costs without any significant changes in usage, it may be due to an inefficient HVAC system. Problems like dirty filters, leaking ducts, or failing components can cause your system to work harder than necessary, consuming more energy.Frequent cycling—when your HVAC system turns on and off more often than usual—is another indication of a problem. This can be caused by issues such as an oversized system, a malfunctioning thermostat, or airflow restrictions. Frequent cycling not only increases energy usage but also puts additional strain on your system, which can lead to more frequent repairs and a reduced lifespan.Our technicians can help identify the root causes of increased energy bills and frequent cycling. Regular maintenance, including tasks like duct cleaning and checking refrigerant levels, ensures that your system operates efficiently. Addressing these issues promptly can help bring your energy bills back to normal and reduce wear and tear on your HVAC system.Unresponsive Thermostat and Poor Indoor Air QualityAn unresponsive thermostat is another clear sign that your commercial HVAC system may need repair. If you find that adjusting the thermostat has little to no effect on the temperature in your building, it could indicate a problem with the thermostat itself or with the HVAC system. An accurate thermostat is crucial for maintaining a comfortable indoor environment and ensuring efficient system operation.Poor indoor air quality is another significant concern. If you notice increased dust, debris, or even general stuffiness in the air, your HVAC system might be to blame. Issues like dirty ductwork or a malfunctioning ventilation system can negatively impact air quality. Regular maintenance, including duct cleaning and dryer vent cleaning, helps keep the air clean and safe to breathe.Our professionals can evaluate your thermostat and indoor air quality to identify any underlying issues. By addressing these problems, you can ensure a healthier and more comfortable environment for everyone in

Despite its importance, many homeowners encounter challenges when dealing with drain snaking problems. These can range from frustrating blockages to unnoticed signs that point to more severe issues lurking within the plumbing system.Understanding Common Blockages in DrainsDrains can become blocked quite easily, and understanding the typical causes can help in managing the plumbing system efficiently. One of the most common causes of drain clogs is the accumulation of hair. This is especially true in bathroom sinks and shower drains, where hair can easily combine with soap scum and other debris to form stubborn clogs. Regularly clearing hair from drains can help prevent these obstructions.Grease is another major contributor to clogged drains. In kitchen sinks, grease from cooking oils, margarine, and butter can stick to the walls of pipes. Over time, this build-up reduces water flow and eventually leads to blockages. Avoid pouring grease down the sink, and instead, dispose of it in the trash to reduce this issue.Food particles also pose a significant risk of clogging, especially when larger chunks make their way into the plumbing system. Ensuring that food scraps are properly disposed of and not rinsed down the sink can minimize the risk of blockages. Use a sink strainer to catch food particles and regularly clean it out to prevent particles from accumulating.These blockages not only restrict water flow but can also cause unpleasant odors. Furthermore, when left unchecked, they might lead to more severe plumbing issues, necessitating professional intervention. Understanding these common blockages can guide homeowners in taking preventive measures and maintaining a functioning drain system.Identifying Signs of a Serious ClogRecognizing the signs of a serious clog can be pivotal in preventing further damage to your plumbing system. One of the first indicators of a major issue is slow drainage. If water drains slowly from sinks, tubs, or showers, it's a clear indication that something is obstructing the flow within the pipes. Regular monitoring of how quickly water drains can help spot potential problems early.Frequent backups present another warning sign. When water backs up repeatedly in sinks or toilets, it suggests that a blockage might be present further down the line. This not only disrupts daily routines but also risks water damage to the property. Identifying and addressing these backups promptly can save time and resources.Gurgling sounds from drains offer another clue to watch out for. This noise indicates trapped air due to a blockage, which should not be ignored. Unpleasant odors emanating from the drains can also signify the presence of a serious clog, usually caused by decomposing materials caught in the pipe.Ignoring these signs can lead to extensive plumbing problems, including pipe damage or system failure. It's important to address these indications promptly and consider calling our professionals to prevent more serious issues down the line. Regular inspections and maintenance can help mitigate the risk of encountering severe clogs.Challenges Encountered During Drain SnakingDrain snaking, while effective, comes with its own set of challenges that can complicate the process. A common problem is dealing with rigid clogs that standard snakes can't easily dislodge. When materials like hardened grease or non-dissolvable items accumulate, they form stubborn blockages that require specialized equipment to break through.Pipe damage is another issue that might arise during drain snaking. Older or corroded pipes are susceptible to cracking or breaking when too much pressure is applied. This makes it crucial to use the right tools and techniques to avoid exacerbating the problem. Our professionals understand these risks and employ careful strategies to ensure the integrity of your plumbing system.Additionally, certain areas of the plumbing system can be difficult to access, making thorough cleaning a challenge. Bends, turns, and complex plumbing layouts can hinder the snake's reach, leaving some blockages untouched. Accessing these tricky areas often requires professional expertise and advanced tools, which our team is equipped to provide.When To Call Our Professional PlumbersKnowing when to call in professional plumbers is essential in maintaining a functional drain system. If you've tried standard snaking and the clog persists, it’s time for a professional evaluation. Our technicians have the equipment and knowledge to tackle even the toughest blockages effectively.Experiencing repeated drainage issues despite your efforts typically indicates a more profound problem that requires expert attention.

Water softeners are responsible for removing minerals from water that cause hardness and limescale. This manifests as a wet, chalky, white substance in dishwashers and other appliances.To start on a technicality, water softeners are a type of home water treatment system.Water softeners use salt and ion exchange resins, which is a sticky organic substance that’s insoluble in water, exuded by trees and other plants. These resins have a sodium solution coating that forces magnesium and calcium ions to migrate out of the water.As these mineral ions migrate out of the water, they reach an active site on the resins and are replaced with sodium ions. In short, water softeners remove magnesium and calcium from water.Note that salt-free water softeners are available for those who don’t want to add sodium to water for dietary reasons. Salt-free softeners are a more eco-friendly option because they don’t require a rinse of water and electricity, according to APEC Water , a “leading U.S. supplier of high quality drinking water systems and information source.”Home Water Filtration Systems . In general, filtration systems are responsible for removing a variety of organic or inorganic contaminants from water. Filtration systems use a variety of methods to remove contaminants, including the following:Carbon filtersDeionization and ion exchange filtersDistillation filtersMechanical and ceramic filtersOzone filtersReverse-osmosis filtersSediment filtersUltraviolet filtersWater softener filtersFor more information about how each filter work, check out Warner Service’s Which Water Treatment System Is Right For You?Plumbing MaintenanceWater Softeners: As for maintenance, salt-based water softeners need regular plumbing maintenance, including restocking consumable salt. Non-salt-based water softeners need less plumbing maintenance but are often damaged by small amounts of oil.Magnetic water softeners require the least amount of maintenance. However, they’re less effective, especially in catching metallic dissolved materials.Water Filtration Systems: As for maintenance, filtration systems requires less maintenance than a water softener. However, they’re more expensive to install.Which Do You Need?Before purchasing either of these plumbing solutions, check the quality of your home’s water. See which contaminants come out of the tap before committing to a product.For example, use a water softener if your only concern is water hardness or limescale. This is common in inner city areas and places with hot weather, low rainfall, and high mineral content in soil, according to Water Softeners & Water Filtration , a review and general information website for water quality improvement. However, if you have other concerns, use the following list from Warner Service:Asbestos. Distillation filters work best for removing asbestos.Filtrates. Reverse-osmosis filters work best for removing filtrates.Halogens , including chlorine and fluorine. Carbon filters work best for removing chlorine taste and odor, while reverse-osmosis filters work best for removing fluoride.Heavy metals , including arsenic, lead, and mercury. Reverse-osmosis filters work best for removing arsenic, while distillation filters work best for removing mercury.Microorganisms , including dirt, rust, and sand. Sediment and ozone filters work best for removing larger particles of microorganisms.Minerals , including magnesium, copper, and calcium. Deionization and ion exchange filters work best for removing magnesium and calcium, while distillation filters work best for removing copper.Nitrates. Reverse-osmosis filters work best for removing nitrates.Pesticides and herbicides. Carbon water treatment systems work best for removing pesticides and herbicides from agricultural runoff.Sodium.

When energy prices were low, other considerations such as cost-cutting and quick installation likely took precedence. Ductwork design in the old days was frequently relegated to rule-of-thumb engineering based on a one-size-fits-all philosophy. All that changed when energy costs skyrocketed and poor ductwork design was identified as one of the principle suspects in high utility bills , inferior household comfort and even unhealthy indoor air quality.Efficient DuctworkToday, avoiding duct design shortcomings—or correcting them where they exist—is recognized as a critical part of maximizing home energy efficiency and optimizing performance. The scientific approach to duct design in residential forced-air heating and cooling is based on the concept of the entire building as a system in which all HVAC -related components interact. In that scenario, airflow is the blood and ductwork is the circulatory network. Shortfalls in one area inevitably affect efficiency or performance in another. Ducts in today’s homes are designed into the structure early in the process. Consideration is given to how proper duct layout can be integrated into the plans and, where necessary, structural design changes may be made to accommodate the requirements for efficient, effective ductwork.Whether it’s a planned home still on the drawing board or an existing house about to undergo renovation, these are some of the principles of good ductwork design for 21st century standards of energy conservation and enhanced comfort performance.Ductwork Design PrinciplesDesign by the book: Actually, it’s not a paper book anymore—it’s software. Manual J and Manual D are calculators published by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America and essential to proper duct design. Manual J computes the heating and cooling load—the BTU’s and cubic-feet-per-minute volume of hot and cold air, respectively—that must be delivered to each room to maintain a comfortable temperature. Manual D integrates that data into calculations that determine the optimum main trunk and branch duct diameters as well as the most efficient layout and design. These critical factors cannot be left to “guesstimates”Place the air handler in the layout as close as possible to the center of the home: Also, minimize the number of elbows and bends incorporated in the design. This decreases factors such as static pressure and internal air friction that affect airflow.Route as much ductwork as possible within the conditioned envelope of the home: Ducts that run through the attic, crawlspace, unfinished basement or any other zone subject to acute temperatures suffer thermal losses or gains that impact energy efficiency. Where unconditioned routes are unavoidable, supply ductwork in these zones should be insulated to a level of R8 and return ducts to R6.Don’t place ducts in exterior walls: Ductwork inside an exterior wall takes up vital space that should be occupied by insulation, instead, to retard heat transfer to or from the outdoors. Also, ducts routed through exterior walls are more likely to create condensation inside wall voids, an invitation to rot and mold.Ideally, include a dedicated return duct in every room with a supply vent: This creates the best scenario for balanced airflow. However, in houses where a single central return exists in a common area like a hallway, ensure that a clear air pathway exists from the conditioned rooms to the central return. Installing air pass-through grilles in doorways or jumper ducts in ceilings that link multiple rooms to the vicinity of the central return are options to maintain a free flow of return air.Install only approved “hard” ductwork: In the past, building cavities such as wall voids or joist bays in the ceiling were simply covered with wood and utilized as substitute return ducts to cut costs. All ducts should be of sheet metal, fiberglass or approved flex duct. In most areas, converting structural voids to use as ductwork now violates local building codes.Seal ducts at installation and mechanically fasten duct spans: Use mastic, not duct tape, to seal spans of ductwork as they are assembled. Then secure the joints between spans with sheet metal screws.Pressure test with a duct blower to verify proper sealing before ducts are enclosed in walls or ceilings: In most locales, the standard for duct sealing requires limiting tested leakage to the range of 5 to 10 percent of total system airflow.For more on the guidelines for proper ductwork design and installation, Contact Warner Service to have a qualified technician examine your home and give you suggesting to optimize your home.For More Information, Subscribe to the Blog CONTACT WARNER SERVICE(301) 304-7429Book NowMenu

Properly maintaining your plumbing system can save you from costly repairs and ensure that everything runs smoothly year-round. Consider how necessary it is for all systems in your home to function correctly, and your plumbing is no exception.In Middletown, where the seasons bring different challenges for homeowners, maintaining your pipes becomes even more crucial. Whether you're dealing with the after-effects of winter or preparing for summer's high water use, being proactive will help you avoid disruptions and protect your home's plumbing system.Understanding Your Plumbing SystemA fundamental step in pipe maintenance is understanding the plumbing system in your Middletown home. Homes typically contain a complex network of pipes, drains, and fixtures that work together to ensure water flows properly.

Insulating pipes is essential to prevent them from freezing once temperatures drop. Pay special attention to outdoor faucets and lines, draining them if necessary. This will reduce the risk of burst pipes and costly repairs once winter sets in.Winter demands special attention to prevent frozen or burst pipes. Ensure your pipes are well-insulated, especially those in unheated areas like basements and garages. Constantly dripping water might seem wasteful, but allowing a small trickle during freezing nights can keep pipes from freezing altogether.DIY Pipe Maintenance PracticesTaking some DIY steps can allow you to control your plumbing system better and save you from potential headaches. While professional help is valuable, there are things you can manage on your own to maintain your pipes.Regular inspections for leaks and corrosion are one of the simplest ways to address issues early. Look at visible pipes, joints, and connections for any signs of rust or water stains. Also, make sure to check areas under sinks and around toilets for potential leaks.Keeping your drains free of clogs remains important. Using drain strainers can help reduce hair and solid waste from entering your plumbing system. Avoid pouring grease and oils down the sink, as these can solidify and cause blockages over time.Using water softeners can manage and prevent mineral buildup, particularly in areas where hard water is common. Persistently high mineral content in your water can disrupt the flow and reduce the lifespan of your pipes.For minor repairs that do not require specialized tools, you might replace washers and seals in faucets to stop drips. This could save a significant amount of water wastage over time. Remember that while some fixes are manageable, knowing your limits is crucial. Not ever

Regular plumbing maintenance can prevent unexpected issues and costly repairs, ensuring your daily activities continue without interruption. Middletown homeowners, in particular, should pay close attention to their plumbing systems, given the specific needs of the properties in the area. By focusing on targeted plumbing checks and system assessments, you can safeguard your home against potential water damage and unnecessary inconvenience.One of the key areas of plumbing maintenance in Middletown involves understanding the unique aspects of the area's properties. Each home has its distinct characteristics, from older homes with aging pipes to newer constructions with more updated plumbing systems. This makes it essential for homeowners to conduct regular inspections and enlist the help of professionals when needed. Through systematic checks, you can stay ahead of possible plumbing issues and ensure your home remains a safe and enjoyable place to live.Inspecting and Cleaning DrainsMaintaining clear and efficient drains is a fundamental part of keeping your plumbing system in good condition. Blocked drains can lead to a variety of issues, including slow water drainage and unpleasant odors, and can even cause more significant plumbing problems if not addressed promptly.Here’s how you can keep your drains in check:- Regularly remove any hair, soap buildup, and other debris from bathroom drains.- Use a plunger or plumbing snake to clear minor blockages in toilets and sinks.- Periodically flush your kitchen sink with hot water to prevent grease and food particles from solidifying in pipes.- Avoid pouring oil or coffee grounds down the kitchen sink to prevent clogs.While homeowners can tackle minor drain issues, some situations require the expertise of our professionals. If you notice persistent blockages, foul smells, or slow drainage despite your best efforts, it's time to reach out to our technicians who can handle complex problems efficiently. Regular inspections and timely intervention are key to ensuring your drainage system continues to function smoothly. This not only preserves the integrity of your plumbing but also contributes to a hygienic living environment.Checking for LeaksOne common issue that many homeowners in Middletown face involves leaks in their plumbing systems. Not only do leaks waste water, but they can also lead to significant property damage and increased utility bills if left unattended. Regularly checking for leaks is a proactive approach that can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.Start by examining common areas where leaks tend to occur. Faucets, toilets, and areas under sinks are prime spots where you might find drips or puddles. An easy way to check for toilet leaks is to put a few drops of food coloring into the tank. Wait about 30 minutes, and if you see color seeping into the bowl without flushing, you likely have a leak. Be sure to check your water meter as well. Record the meter reading, avoid using water for a couple of hours, and then check it again. Any change might indicate a hidden leak.Leaks can lead to water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. Since leaks might occur in areas that are difficult to inspect, it might be necessary to consult our professionals. They have the tools and experience to detect and fix leaks swiftly, ensuring the plumbing in your Middletown home remains reliable.Evaluating Water PressureWater pressure is an integral part of your plumbing system. It influences everything from how effectively your appliances run to your personal comfort when using household taps. Too high, and you could damage your pipes; too low, and everyday tasks become a hassle.In Middletown, the ideal water pressure for residential homes should typically range within a certain efficient range. Checking your water pressure is straightforward. You can use a water pressure gauge, a small, inexpensive device, to measure it via an outdoor hose faucet. If you notice that your water pressure fluctuates or feels inconsistent, it might be time for further investigation.Signs of problematic water pressure include having to wait extended periods for water to heat or fill, or finding discrepancies in water flow across various faucets. In such cases, enlisting the help of our technicians is beneficial. They can identify whether the issue is due to the municipal supply, faulty plumbing, or other underlying problems, and provide effective solutions.Sewer Line MaintenanceSewer line maintenance is essential for preserving the overall health of your plumbing system. A well-maintained sewer line allows for efficient waste removal and minimizes the risk

As the weather warms up and winter's chill fades, it's important to tackle any issues that may have arisen during the colder months. This proactive approach helps prevent potential problems and ensures that plumbing systems are in top shape for the year ahead.Regular plumbing checks shouldn't be overlooked, as they can prevent minor inconveniences from becoming costly repairs. Homeowners can enjoy peace of mind knowing their property is prepared for the warmth and unpredictability of spring. By addressing these issues early, you protect your home from water damage and plumbing failures, which can arise unexpectedly. Let's explore some key areas to focus on during your spring plumbing maintenance in Urbana.Inspecting Outdoor PlumbingWith the arrival of spring, it's essential to give attention to your outdoor plumbing systems. The exterior elements of your plumbing often take the brunt of winter's harsh conditions, leading to potential damage that requires inspection and maintenance.- Garden Hoses and Outdoor Faucets: Begin by checking garden hoses and outdoor faucets for leaks or cracks that may have developed. Ensure water flows freely and that hoses are securely connected without any signs of damage. Replacing worn-out washers or hoses can prevent leaks and maintain efficient water usage.- Gutters and Downspouts: Proper drainage is crucial for avoiding water buildup, which can lead to foundation issues and basement flooding. Inspect your gutters and downspouts to ensure they are clear of debris so water can flow away from your home's foundation. Consider installing gutter guards to minimize debris accumulation.- Sprinkler Systems: Your sprinklers might have suffered damage from freezing temperatures. Check for broken or clogged sprinkler heads and any leaks in the lines. Run your system and watch for inconsistent spray patterns or pooling water, indicating the need for adjustments or repairs. Fixing these issues early will help you maintain a lush and healthy lawn while preventing water waste.Addressing these outdoor plumbing components early in the season helps maintain your property's exterior and prepares your landscape for the months ahead. Keeping an eye on these critical elements will ensure they're functioning smoothly, allowing you to fully enjoy the benefits of spring without unexpected disruptions.Checking Indoor Plumbing FixturesTransitioning from the outdoors to indoors, it's crucial to consider the condition of your home's internal plumbing fixtures. These fixtures are used daily and can develop issues over time, particularly after a long, cold winter. Start by inspecting faucets and showerheads for any leaks or mineral deposits. Build-up from hard water can restrict water flow, leading to inefficient performance and increased water bills. Cleaning aerators and replacing washers can make a noticeable difference in water pressure and efficiency.Next, review your toilets to ensure they are not continuously running, as this is a common source of water waste. A quick check of the toilet flapper and fill valve can determine if these components need adjustment or replacement. Keeping these parts in good condition not only saves water but can avoid larger plumbing issues down the line.Lastly, take a moment to examine the pipes and connections under sinks for signs of leaks or corrosion. Leaks often start small, but when left unattended, they can cause significant damage to cabinetry or flooring. Regular checks help catch these issues early, protecting your home from potential water damage.Water Heater MaintenanceThe heart of your home’s hot water supply, the water heater deserves focused attention. Over time, sediment can accumulate in the tank, diminishing its efficiency and lifespan. Flushing the tank periodically helps remove this sediment, ensuring consistent hot water supply and energy efficiency. While doing this, inspect the temperature setting to make sure it's not too high, which can lead to scalding and increased energy usage.Check the area around the water heater for any signs of leaks or rust. Any discoloration or pools of water can indicate a failing tank or valve connections. Promptly addressing these problems can prevent more severe leaks and water damage. Should you notice anything concerning, consulting our professionals can offer peace of mind and protect your home's hot water supply.Sewer and Drain MaintenanceMaintaining the sewer line and drains is fundamental to prevent clogs and unpleasant odors. Scheduling a professional inspection of the main sewer line ensures that any minor blockages or problems are caught early. This is

Discover the Best BlogsStay up to date with our latest and most popular posts.Home>Blog>Everything You Need To Know About A Smart ThermostatEverything You Need To Know About A Smart ThermostatDid you know that a smart thermostat is different than a programmable thermostat? Here is the basic breakdown: The benefits of a programmable thermostat include adjusting your home or business’ temperature at a time variable. These thermostats help conduct a heating and cooling agenda for your space without manually shifting the setting every time. In layman’s terms, you can set the temperature to a schedule. However, a smart thermostat takes this concept a step further. It remotely adjusts the temperature from a WiFi-enabled device. This means, if everything is linked up properly, you can adjust the thermostat from a tablet, cell phone, computer, or other connected device. For example, you can set it to turn off the air conditioning while at work and to kick it on about 30 minutes before returning home – all from the comfort and convenience of your virtual device. So, what else do you need to know about smart thermostats compared to programmable thermostats? Warner Service offers a short field guide: Smart thermostats can be super smart. Here's how: A few select devices can regulate humidity. Some collect diagnostics on whole-home or –business energy consumption , which means you can see exactly where your energy bill needs work. Some models can optimize the central air conditioning operation for the best efficiency. Other devices offer self-learning capabilities that can monitor and adjust comfort settings based on preferences and tendencies. A few smart thermostats can continuously monitor the local climate and adjust the temperature automatically.Homeowners and business owners can set up regular HVAC maintenance alerts with smart thermostat technology. If you opt for extra sensors in the space, you can set up zoned heating and cooling and individual room-based temperature control.All devices are made to save you money. The biggest difference between traditional, programmable, and smart thermostats is the amount of money each can save you. Traditional models are not made to provide the highest efficiency. It acts only as a control panel for the heating and air conditioning system. While programmable and smart thermostats have the same job, these devices are made to save families and business owners up to 20 percent on cooling and heating costs when set properly. It is easy to use. Many smart thermostats have a user-friendly interface and are easy to install and use. (However, if you need help setting up the device, we would be more than happy to assist you .) Be sure to check which thermostat is most compatible with your home or business’ energy source before you buy. Some devices work with gas or electric and others can be used with any source. You do not always need central A/C. While most smart thermostats work for spaces with central HVAC units, others can be used to simply control window A/C units .Using the same Wi-Fi technology, it acts more like a timer or adapter. As a wrap-up, smart thermostats can learn from your behaviors and allow you to control the climate in your home or commercial space remotely. Some models show you energy consumption reports and can adjust it based on ambient conditions like humidity and local climate. With effortless programming and wireless connectivity, smart thermostats are a great option for your home or business. The bottom line is that it can save you money while creating a smaller impact on the environment, and going “green” is a huge initiative in Maryland right now .

One often overlooked aspect of HVAC maintenance is duct cleaning. Dust, debris, and contaminants can accumulate in the ductwork over time, impacting air quality and system performance. Our technicians recommend professional duct cleaning to ensure your HVAC system operates optimally and provides clean air for your home or business.Health Benefits of Professional Duct CleaningProfessional duct cleaning provides significant health benefits by improving indoor air quality. Over time, dust, allergens, and other pollutants can accumulate in your ductwork. When your HVAC system operates, these contaminants can circulate throughout your home or commercial building, leading to respiratory issues and allergies.

Properly installed pipes ensure that your home's plumbing system operates efficiently for years to come, minimizing the risk of leaks and water damage. Understanding the elements that contribute to effective pipe installation can save homeowners from unnecessary repairs and provide peace of mind. It's important to acknowledge the complexities associated with plumbing projects, as each requires careful planning and execution to meet both functional needs and local regulations.Equipping yourself with the knowledge of pipe types, installation procedures, and preparatory steps can simplify what might seem like a challenging task. This article will explore these essential topics, offering guidance tailored to Urbana's unique environment and regulatory landscape. By examining these key aspects, homeowners can make informed decisions and engage confidently with professionals to achieve the best outcomes for their plumbing systems.Understanding the Basics of Pipe InstallationFor any plumbing project, selecting the right type of pipe is critical. Different materials offer varied benefits, such as durability, cost-effectiveness, and suitability for specific applications. Common options include:- Copper: Known for its long-lasting quality, ideal for both hot and cold water.- PVC: Lightweight and easy to install, usually employed for drain and vent lines.- PEX: Flexible and resistant to scale, perfect for repiping and water supply lines.When choosing a pipe, consider factors like your budget, the specific use case in your home, and potential future modifications. Durability is key, particularly for high-use areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. However, cost considerations should also guide decisions, especially in large-scale installations.Compliance with local building codes is another crucial component. Urbana's regulations may dictate specific materials or installation practices to ensure safety and functionality. This necessitates a thorough review of local requirements or consultation with a knowledgeable professional familiar with the Urbana area. Adhering to these guidelines not only helps prevent potential legal issues but also ensures that the plumbing system is safe and efficient.Pre-Installation PreparationBefore beginning any pipe installation project, proper preparation is essential to set the stage for successful execution. Key steps include:1. Turn off the water supply to prevent leaks or water damage during installation.2. Clear the work area to allow unobstructed access to the plumbing path.3. Gather necessary tools and materials: pipe cutters, fittings, sealant, and measuring tape.Homeowners should also conduct a preliminary inspection to identify and address any existing issues within the plumbing system. This can involve looking for signs of rust, leaks, or blockages that might complicate the installation process.Having a detailed checklist is beneficial. It helps ensure all necessary preparations are completed before starting the actual work, minimizing the chances of last-minute surprises. This preparation phase not only facilitates a smoother installation process but also enhances the overall quality and reliability of the plumbing setup in Urbana homes.Step-by-Step Guide to Pipe InstallationExecuting a successful pipe installation involves precise measurements and careful execution. The following steps outline a clear path to ensure the pipes are installed correctly and efficiently:1. Measure Accurately: Begin by measuring the required length of each section of pipe. Use a tape measure for precision, and mark the pipe at the appropriate length. This ensures you have the right amount of material and avoid unnecessary waste.2. Cut Properly: Use a pipe cutter or a saw designed for your pipe material to make clean, straight cuts. Avoid jagged edges as these can affect the quality of the joints and lead to leaks.3. Fit Securely: Connect the pipe sections with fittings suitable for the pipe type. For PVC pipes, use adhesive sealant to ensure tight connections. Copper pipes require soldering for a watertight seal. PEX pipes utilize specific fittings like crimp or clamp rings, which need pressure tools for a secure fit.4. Secure the Joints: After fitting, check each joint for security. Apply sealant where required and ensure that there is no movement at connections. This step is crucial to prevent future leaks.5. Inspect Thoroughly: Before concluding the installation, visually inspect all connections and joints to identify any misalignment or potential weak points.By following these steps, homeowners can achieve a professional-grade installation, reducing the chance of leaks and extending the pipe system's long

The leaves are beautiful, fall festivals (and fall food!) are happening almost every weekend, and pumpkin spice is back at every cafe, but Autumn can also bring the annoyance of Fall allergies. Ragweed and other airborne allergens can trigger all sorts of unwanted reactions for many people, and can sometimes even be worse than spring pollen! Luckily, there are a few steps you can take to protect your home from fall allergens and even get your home ready for winter at the same time! First, the most important and also the easiest step to eliminating airborne fall allergens is to change or clean your air filters. Air filters perform a very important job for your HVAC system and your indoor air environment. Not only do they help to purify your air, but they also keep dust and debris from building up inside your ducts and other HVAC components. If left unmaintained (as they often are) they become ineffective and your indoor air quality will suffer. In addition, your HVAC system will need to work harder to effectively force air through the vents because of the buildup that can form on the vents and other parts. Luckily, keeping your filters maintained is simple. First, you will want to make sure your filters are correct for your home’s setup. You will want to have filters that are the correct size for your fittings, and you will need to make a judgment on the MERV ratings of your filters. MERV ratings describe the filters ability to catch small particles and microorganisms. Filters will a high MERV rating will eliminate event the smallest particle from your home air, but will also make your HVAC system work harder to pull air through. Therefore, you will likely want to find a middle ground depending on your home system. The most effective filtration systems utilize multiple filters to allow air to move freely in most places, but catch the allergens and air pollutants at important places. Finally, you will want to decide between disposal and reusable filters. Next, after you are sure you have the right filters, you want to keep them maintained . Filters accumulate dust and debris quickly, so it is advised to change (if disposable) or clean (if reusable) your filters every 1-3 months. If you are still experiencing issues with indoor air quality after your filters are correct, try some of these tips: Have your vents cleaned. Vents can sometimes accumulate buildups of dust and debris, especially if air filters have been left unmaintained. Learn more by reading this blog post. Have your HVAC system maintained, especially before heating season begins. That way, you’re ready on the first day you need it and it will last through the entire season. If you do not have a forced air system, be sure to clean the device that heats/cools your home. If you have an electric radiator or a window AC unit, dust can buildup and then become a problem itself. Have a professional HVAC technician come to your home and examine your home setup to get you on the right track quickly!

Discover the Best BlogsStay up to date with our latest and most popular posts.Home>Blog>How To Fix An AC That's Blowing Warm Air In UrbanaHow To Fix An AC That's Blowing Warm Air In UrbanaWhen the temperature climbs in Urbana and your AC starts blowing warm air instead of cool, it's not just uncomfortable—it can make your home nearly unlivable. A sudden shift in your system's performance often signals a problem that needs quick attention. Many homeowners assume the worst, thinking their entire unit might need to be replaced, but that's not always the case. In many situations, the cause is something small and fixable.AC units are complex systems that depend on several components working together properly. If something breaks down or gets blocked, your unit might stay on but won’t cool like it should. Identifying what’s causing the issue is the first step toward bringing comfort back to your home. Below are some of the most common reasons your AC might not be doing its job and what actions should come next.Check the Thermostat FirstBefore jumping to conclusions, start with the simplest place: the thermostat. It’s easy to overlook, but incorrect settings or a malfunctioning thermostat can make your unit blow warm air even when the rest of the system is working fine.If your AC keeps running but there’s no cold air, try these steps:- Make sure your thermostat is set to “cool”- Lower the temperature several degrees below the current room temperature- Confirm the system is not set to “fan only”- If the screen is blank or dim, replace the batteriesSometimes thermostats get bumped during routine cleaning or are tampered with by kids. One Urbana homeowner recently discovered their child had switched the system mode without realizing it. A quick correction made all the difference. If your system still won’t cool after checking the settings and batteries, move on to other components.Clean or Replace a Dirty Air FilterWhen your AC can’t breathe, it can’t work well. One of the most common causes of airflow problems is a dirty air filter. When the filter gets packed with dust, pet hair, or debris, your system has to work harder to move air and may stop cooling altogether as a result.Here’s what to do:1. Locate the return air filter. This is usually near the indoor air handler or inside the return vent2. Remove the filter and inspect its condition. If it looks dark, dusty, or clogged, it’s time for a replacement3. Check the filter size printed on the side and install a new one of the same size and typeReplacing your filter regularly keeps airflow steady and helps protect internal components. If airflow continues to feel weak or your system is still blowing warm air, continue examining other areas.Look Over the Outdoor Condenser UnitYour outdoor AC unit is responsible for releasing the heat collected from inside your home. If it’s blocked or damaged in any way, it can’t release that heat properly and the air that returns inside may feel warm.Walk outside and take a close look at the condenser unit. Check for the following:- Grass clipping buildup or leaves caught around the base- Dirt or grime covering the coil fins- Any signs of bent or damaged fins- A unit that won’t turn on or sounds louder than usualIf you spot visible obstructions, clearing them away may help return airflow to normal. If your unit is dirty, avoid using a hose or high-pressure water, as that can damage the fins. If the unit appears damaged or unresponsive, it’s a sign that further inspection will need to be handled by our technicians. Skipping this step could keep your system from cooling even after replacing the filter or adjusting the thermostat.Coming up next, we’ll take a closer look at refrigerant levels, duct airflow, and what steps need to be taken if none of the common fixes resolve your cooling issue.Check Refrigerant Levels and Watch for Warning SignsLow refrigerant is one of the more serious causes behind an AC unit blowing warm air. Refrigerant is what actually cools the air that flows through your home. If levels drop too low, your system will still run, but it won't cool anything. This usually points to a leak somewhere in the refrigerant line, which requires professional handling.Here are some signs that low refrigerant might be the problem:- Ice is forming on the refrigerant line or evaporator coil- The AC takes longer than usual to cool your home or it doesn’t cool at all- You hear a hissing sound coming from the unitIf your system shows any of these signs, do not keep running the AC hoping it will improve on its own. Continuing to run it could cause further damage. Refrigerant systems are sealed and require special equipment to diagnose and fix. Finding and repairing any leak, then properly recharging the system, needs to be done by our licensed professionals.Make Sure Air Is Moving Freely Through the HomeGood airflow is one of the most important conditions for your AC to work properly. If there’s a blockage in

Toilets are one of the most frequently used fixtures in any household, and over time, even minor leaks can escalate into significant problems. Understanding the importance of addressing these leaks right away can save you from more serious issues down the road.Ignoring a leaking toilet not only wastes water but can also cause damage to your floors and subflooring. The constant seepage can weaken the structural integrity around the bathroom area, leading to costly repairs. By promptly identifying and addressing leaks, homeowners can maintain a healthy plumbing system and avoid unnecessary expenses.Common Causes of Toilet LeaksToilet leaks usually stem from a few common sources, and identifying these can be the first step towards stopping them. Some of the most frequent causes include:1. Worn-out Flappers: Over time, the flapper in your toilet tank can become worn or warped, preventing it from sealing properly. A damaged flapper allows water to continuously leak from the tank into the bowl. If you notice your toilet is constantly running or hear a hissing sound, the flapper might be the culprit.2. Damaged Seals: The seals around the bolts and base of the toilet can wear out. These connections might become loose or deteriorate, causing water to escape. Signs of this issue include water pooling around the base of the toilet or small leaks underneath.3. Faulty Fill Valves: The fill valve is responsible for replenishing the tank's water after each flush. A malfunctioning valve can cause the tank to fill unevenly or overflow, leading to leaks. If your toilet runs intermittently every few minutes, it could indicate a problem with the fill valve.Addressing these issues promptly is essential to maintaining an efficient and leak-free toilet. Understanding the signs of each problem helps in quickly diagnosing and resolving leaks before they lead to bigger issues. With a little attention and care, you can prevent minor leaks from becoming significant nuisances in your Urbana property.DIY Troubleshooting StepsYou can tackle minor toilet leaks on your own if you're feeling handy. Start by arming yourself with some basic tools: an adjustable wrench, a screwdriver, and a replacement flapper. Identifying the source of the leak is crucial, so take the lid off the toilet tank and observe the mechanisms while flushing. A worn flapper is often the main offender. If you notice it not sealing properly, go ahead and replace it. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:1. Turn off the water supply to the toilet to prevent flooding while you work.2. Flush the toilet to empty the tank, making it easier to access the flapper.3. Remove the old flapper by detaching it from the back of the tank's overflow tube.4. Install the new flapper by securing it to the same spots where the old one was connected.5. Turn the water supply back on and test for leaks by flushing the toilet multiple times.If the problem persists after replacing the flapper, it might be time to tighten the bolts around the base of the toilet or check for cracks in other seals. But remember, not all toilet leaks are simple fixes, and tackling more complex issues may require professional skills and tools.When to Call Professional PlumbersSome plumbing issues are best left to the experts, as they can involve complications that aren't always obvious. If a leak continues despite your best efforts or you discover secondary problems like cracks in the porcelain, it's a good idea to seek professional help. Our professionals have the experience to diagnose complex problems that may elude the average homeowner. Severe leaks could indicate hidden damage or larger systemic issues, which can lead to even greater problems if ignored.We recommend calling in our technicians when:- Your toilet still leaks after replacing parts like the flapper or fill valve.- You notice ongoing water accumulation around the base with no clear source.- There are signs of structural problems like floor damage around the toilet.- Unusual sounds are coming from the toilet despite your efforts to fix the visible problems.Crossing out the DIY zone can ensure the issue is resolved correctly and prevent further damage to your bathroom.Preventative Tips to Avoid Future LeaksPreventing leaks from occurring in the first place can save time, money, and unnecessary hassle. Regular maintenance is your best defense against future plumbing issues. Here are some practical steps you can take:- Inspect your toilet’s components regularly, especially the flapper and fill valve, for any signs of wear or malfunction.- Clean the seals and connections to remove any build-up that might cause

They use steam, hot water, air, electricity or natural gas to provide the area with high-quality heat. There are also different types of furnaces, including industrial process furnaces and metallurgical furnaces, but we’ll stick to household furnaces that most people are familiar with.To help you brush up on the types of furnaces, categories of functionality and furnace parts, here is Warner Service’s breakdown for beginners:Types of Household Furnaces (Based on Design):Single-stage: This furnace is either on or off. There are no other stages of operation because it’s always running at the highest speed, pumping out the hottest air and using the highest velocity.Two-stage: This furnace has two stages of operation, full and reduced speed. This moves the air using a lower velocity.Modulating: This furnace continuously modulates how hot the air is and the velocity, depending on the demanded heat and outside temperature.Categories of Household Furnaces (Based on Efficiency and Functionality):Natural draft: This method allows warm air to rise through pipes constructed of wood or metal. The pipes channel the warm air into floor or wall vents throughout your home. Natural draft furnaces can work on almost any fuel type, have few controls and do not come with a blower.Forced-air: This method moves warm air using blowers. This furnace was later designed to also accommodate air conditioning systems, but forced-air furnaces have poor energy efficiency overall.Forced draft: This method uses combustion air blowers that pull air through a heat exchanger, which increases energy efficiency. It can also accommodate air conditioning systems.Condensing: This method uses PVC pipes and a high-efficiency heat exchanger to take in cold air, run it through an air filter using a circulating blower and redistribute warm air throughout your home.Basic Anatomy of an Indoor Furnace:Air filter: Used to filter to incoming air, catching debris, dust, hair and other airborne pathogensCold air return: The location where circulated air from your home comes back into the furnace to be re-heated and then is vented back into your houseCompartment blower: Circulates air throughout your homeElectric blower motor: Used to power the blower/fanFlue: A plastic or metal vent that discharges potentially dangerous by-products of your furnace, including carbon monoxide molecules, outside your homeGas burner: The heat source of the furnaceGas valve: Allows the burner flame to be on a high and low setting, shuts off the furnace’s gas flow if the pilot light goes outHeat exchanger: Re-heats the filtered airHeat recovery ventilator (optional): Transfers humidity between indoor and outdoor air streams to maintain balance, recovers about 85 percent of heat lossPilot light: A small gas flame that is used to light a larger burner that heats the circulated air through the furnaceDisclaimer : Due to the high-efficiency nature of condensing furnaces, they may come with extra parts that weren’t mentioned above. Click here for the detailed anatomy of a condensing furnace.Furnaces are still bulky, loud appliances that live in your basement behind closed doors, but hopefully you understand a bit more about how they work, what types are offered and what’s inside.

Small improvements here and there can have a huge payoff when given time. This is especially true when optimizing your home’s energy efficiency. All the things that impact your home’s energy footprint can pile up fast, and planning small repairs can easily become overwhelming. Luckily, the Department of Energy has constructed a Home Energy Savings Checklist to help homeowners cut down on unnecessary wastes of energy. Below are a few of the most important tips from the DOE, and why they can have such a large impact on your utilities bill. Clean Your Filters Air filters are easy to forget about in your home, but can have a huge impact on both your energy bill and the quality of the air inside your home. Dirty filters not only do a poor job cleaning the air in your home, meaning there are more allergens and bacteria in your air at home, but also force your entire system to work harder to push and pull air through the filters. This means that your HVAC system is costing you more money in energy and pushing air that may be harmful to your health. Cleaning or replacing your air filters is one of the easiest and most important ways to keep your home energy efficient and healthy. Turn Things Off When You’re Not Using Them There are a few tips on the DOE list that involve simply turning things off when they are not in use. While it might be a minor inconvenience to have to wait for things to restart, turning things off and unplugging them can actually save you up to 10% of your energy bill. This especially applies to what’s called “Standby Power.” Standby Power is when electrical items are turned off, but are still drawing power from the wall. Most items only draw a small amount of energy when turned off (usually around one watt) but if many items are left plugged in then this energy cost can add up quickly. Some of the biggest standby power offenders include TVs, plugged in laptops, and (surprisingly) your cable box. By unplugging these items when not in use, you can see significant return on your energy bill. Upgrade Your Lighting Lights are probably one of the biggest electrical investments in your home. The technology used in lighting fixtures and bulbs has flourished over the past few years. Compact Florescent Light bulbs (CFLs) and LED bulbs both produce light that is comparable, if not superior, to traditional incandescent bulbs at a fraction of the energy expense. In addition, the cost of these bulbs has come down significantly, meaning that it is easier than ever to upgrade your electrical lighting setup to save money. Optimize Your HVAC Setup Optimizing your heating and air conditioning system can take some work, but can be done with a minimal investment that will pay off quickly. First and foremost, collect your utility bills to analyze where most of your energy is being used. If a bulk of your energy cost is due to your HVAC system, there are many small tasks that you can perform to make the system more efficient. A good place to begin is by troubleshooting your AC unit, which you can learn about from a previous blog here. Next, try to find and minimize “air leaks” in your home to keep the treated air inside. After, you may wish to consider a home energy audit to completely optimize your home and eliminate all inefficiencies. Warner Service knows that completely overhauling your energy consumption can take a lot of work, but it really is worth it in the long term. If you have any questions, or need professional help in optimizing your home energy footprint, contact Warner Service today and we will get you set up quickly and easily!

Not only can it affect your hot water supply, but it can also lead to water damage and increased utility bills. Knowing how to handle a leaking water heater is important to protect your home and avoid costly repairs.Identifying the Source of the LeakWhen dealing with a water heater leaking problem, locating the source of the leak is the first step. Start by inspecting the top of the water heater. Check the cold water inlet and hot water outlet pipes; these connections can sometimes become loose and cause leaks. Also, examine the temperature and pressure relief (T&P) valve, which releases water when the heater builds up too much pressure. A faulty T&P valve can lead to leaks.Next, check the bottom of the water heater. Look for signs of rust, pooling water, or moisture around the drain valve, which releases water during maintenance. A leaky drain valve may need tightening or replacement if it proves to be the source. Also, inspect the tank itself for any cracks or corrosion, which can be more serious issues requiring immediate attention.Sometimes, leaks can originate from internal components of the water heater. In this case, the water may seep from the fittings and joints. If you suspect an internal issue, it’s best to call our professionals for a thorough inspection. Accurately identifying the source of the leak helps determine the necessary repair steps and minimizes further damage.Immediate Steps to Take When Your Water Heater LeaksTaking immediate action when you notice your water heater leaking can prevent extensive damage. First, turn off the power supply. For electric water heaters, locate your home’s circuit breaker and switch off the specific breaker for the water heater. For gas water heaters, turn the gas valve to the “off” position.Next, turn off the water supply. Locate the shutoff valve on the cold water inlet pipe and turn it clockwise to stop the flow of water into the heater. If you can’t find the valve or it’s not operational, turn off the main water supply to the house. This step prevents additional water from entering and exacerbating the leak.Once you’ve shut off water and power, drain the water heater to avoid water damage. Attach a hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the tank and safely direct the water to a suitable drainage area. Open the valve and allow the tank to empty completely. This process can help you assess the extent of the leak and prepare the area for further inspection or repair.In cases where the leak is severe, or you’re unable to control it, contacting an emergency plumber from our professionals is the safest course of action. Our professionals can quickly respond to emergencies, ensuring that your water heater issue is resolved efficiently.Common Causes of Water Heater LeaksUnderstanding the common causes of water heater leaks can help you identify and prevent future issues. One usual cause is a faulty or old water heater tank. Over time, water heaters can experience wear and tear, leading to corrosion and cracks that cause leaks.Another frequent reason for water heater leaking is high water pressure. Excessive pressure within the tank can lead to leaks from the pressure relief valve. This valve is designed to release excess pressure, but if it malfunctions, it can continually release water, causing leaks.Loose or damaged plumbing connections can also be a source of leaks. The connections at the top of the tank, including the cold water inlet and hot water outlet pipes, can loosen over time or sustain damage. Checking and tightening these connections regularly can help prevent leaks.Lastly, sediment buildup inside the tank can be a contributing factor. Over time, minerals from hard water can accumulate at the bottom of the tank, causing it to overheat and crack. Regular maintenance, such as annual drain cleaning and using a water softener, can help minimize sediment buildup and extend the life of your water heater.When to Call a Professional PlumberThere are situations where a leaking water heater requires professional intervention. If you have inspected the unit but cannot identify the source of the leak, it’s time to call our professionals. They have the tools and expertise to accurately diagnose the problem and recommend the best solution.If you notice significant water damage around your water heater, immediate professional help is needed. Water damage can lead to mold growth and structural issues, making it crucial to address the problem quickly. Our emergency plumbers are trained to handle urgent plumbing repairs and can mitigate damage effectively.When dealing with internal issues or extensive corrosion, attempting a DIY fix can be risky. Our technicians can safely manage complicated repairs or recommend a replacement if n

Now it’s time to blend the two topics and share the history of air conditioning. To bring you some of the facts and fictions about the history of air conditioning, here’s Warner Service’s breakdown of A/C through the ages: 1758: Benjamin Franklin and Cambridge University professor John Hadley discover that the evaporation of alcohol and other volatile liquids can cool down an object enough to freeze water. 1820: English inventor Michael Faraday makes the same discovery as Franklin and Hadley after compressing and liquidizing ammonia. 1831: Jacob Perkins builds the first effective, steam-powered refrigerator. Late 1830s: Dr. John Gorrie invents an ice-making machine that uses compression to make buckets of ice then blows air over them. He uses the technique to cool down people with yellow fever and malaria. 1881: Naval engineers build a makeshift air conditioner to keep President James Garfield comfortable after an assassin shoots him. It uses a half-million pounds of ice in 2 months and lowers the room temperature by up to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. 1899: Alfred Wolff spearheads efforts toward comfort cooling. 1902: Willis Haviland Carrier discovers that a relationship exists between temperature, humidity, dew point and pressure. He designs the first modern cooling unit as a way to solve a moisture problem for a publishing company. 1904: The World’s Fair in St. Louis, Missouri, features a fully air-conditioned Missouri State Building, marking the first time that the American public is exposed to the concept of comfort cooling. 1906: Carrier patents his “Apparatus for Treating Air” in Brooklyn, New York. Frank Lloyd Wright designs the Larkin Administration Building to accommodate an air conditioning system. In North Carolina, textile mill engineer Stuart Cramer creates a ventilating device that adds water vapor to the air of textile plants, making yarn easier to spin and less likely to break. He’s the first to coin the term “air conditioning.” 1908: G.B. Wilson uses “air conditioning” in a textbook for the first time. 1914: Charles Gates successfully installs the first domestic air conditioning unit in a Minneapolis mansion, but no one uses it because no one ever lives in the home. 1915: The Father of Air Conditioning forms his own company called Carrier Air Conditioning Company of America. 1917: The first air conditioning unit is installed in a movie theater. 1921: Carrier introduces centrifugal compressors, which replace bulkier rotary compressors. 1928: The Carrier Corporation’s Weathermaker device debuts as “the first practical home air conditioning unit.” DuPont, an American chemical company, introduces Freon, a stable, nonflammable gas or liquid used as a moderately toxic refrigerant. 1930: The first air-conditioned dining car is available for travelers on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. 1931: H.H. Schultz and J.Q. Sherman file a patent for a window A/C unit . The product hits the market the next year. 1939: Packard, an American luxury automobile company, makes the first car with optional air conditioning. However, to turn off the air conditioner, the driver must stop the engine, pop the hood and disconnect a compressor belt. 1940s and 50s: Employers suspect that air conditioning in the office would promote laziness, but after installation, productivity increased and absenteeism decreased. 1947: British scholar S.F. Markham writes, “The greatest contribution to civilization in this century may well be air-conditioning—and America leads the way.” 1953: The total number of air conditioning units sold in the United States exceeds 1 million due to the post-World War II economic boom. 1987: Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, an international treaty designed to protect the ozone layer by not producing responsible substances is signed. 1992: The U.S. Energy Department sets efficiency standards for residential central A/C units and heat pumps , which results in saving $29 billion from 1993 to 2023. 1994: Freon is linked to ozone depletion, and is subsequently banning in several countries. Auto manufacturers switch to a less harmful refrigerant while Honeywell, now a multinational conglomerate of commercial and consumer products, and Carrier, develop more environmentally friendly coolants. 1997: The Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty that commits state parties to reduce greenhouse gas emissions based on the premise that global warming exists and man-made carbon dioxide emissions have caused it, is signed. 2002: An estimated 6.7 million air conditioning units are produced. 2006: The U.S. Energy Department sets new requirements for central A/C units and heat pumps to avoid more than 369 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions. 201

Plumbing issues can disrupt daily life, leading to inconveniences and costly repairs. By implementing best practices for maintenance, you can prevent common problems and ensure smooth operations throughout the year.In March, Walkersville homeowners face unique plumbing challenges as the seasons change. Spring often brings increased water usage, and remnants of winter weather can still affect your system. By focusing on specific maintenance tasks now, you can safeguard your home from potential issues as temperatures rise.Regular Inspection and Early DetectionPerforming regular inspections of your plumbing system helps to catch and address minor issues before they escalate. This proactive approach can save you both time and money. When inspecting your plumbing, focus on these key areas:- Pipes: Look for leaks, corrosion, and any unusual noises that might indicate a problem.- Faucets: Ensure they are not dripping, as even small leaks can lead to wastage and increased water bills.- Water Heaters: Check for leaks or any signs of malfunction, which can affect performance and increase energy costs.Detecting potential problems early allows you to address them effectively. For example, a minor leak may be an easy fix, but if left unchecked, it can lead to water damage and costly repairs. Make it a habit to routinely check all plumbing fixtures and fittings to maintain your home’s integrity.Preventive Measures for Common Plumbing IssuesPreventing common plumbing issues requires attention to detail and good habits. You can take several preventive actions to avoid problems like leaks, clogs, and water pressure issues. Here are some practical tips:- Do not dispose of grease or oils down the drain, as they can solidify and cause blockages.- Install drain strainers to catch debris before it enters your pipes.- Regularly flush your drains with hot water to break down soap scum and accumulated residue.Proper disposal practices are essential for maintaining a healthy plumbing system. For instance, using drain strainers can significantly reduce the amount of hair and food particles entering your pipes, minimizing the risk of clogs. Taking these small, preventive measures can contribute to the long-term health of your home's plumbing infrastructure. Implementing these strategies ensures that your system runs smoothly, reducing the likelihood of costly repairs and maintaining a stress-free living environment.Seasonal Plumbing Maintenance Tips for Walkersville ResidentsAs March arrives, it's time for Walkersville homeowners to focus on seasonal maintenance tasks that prepare plumbing systems for the warmer months ahead. Addressing these tasks early can help prevent issues that arise with increased water usage during spring and summer.Start by checking for any winter-related damage that might have impacted your plumbing. Inspect exposed pipes to ensure they're not cracked or leaking, as fluctuating temperatures can cause expansion and contraction. This is also a good time to test outdoor faucets and hoses for leaks and ensure they are properly connected.Spring in Walkersville often means an increase in rain, which can lead to drainage issues. Make sure that gutters and downspouts are clear of debris to allow for proper water flow. This prevents water from pooling and potentially causing foundation problems or basement leaks.Another important task is to inspect water heaters. With winter behind us, sediment from increased usage may have built up, reducing efficiency. Flushing the water heater can remove this buildup, ensuring the unit functions effectively and maintains energy efficiency.Benefits of Professional Plumbing MaintenanceWhile homeowners can handle many tasks, professional plumbing maintenance offers substantial benefits. Our technicians bring both experience and expertise, identifying issues that might go unnoticed or require specialized equipment. Regular professional inspections can extend the life of plumbing systems, reduce the likelihood of emergencies, and ensure that everything runs smoothly.Hiring professionals also means you'll save time and avoid the stress associated with plumbing problems. From drain cleaning to comprehensive system checks, our teams have the tools and knowledge necessary to maintain a healthy plumbing system in Walkersville. Furthermore, professional maintenance can help prevent costly repairs by catching potential problems early, before they have a chance to escalate.Keep Your Walkersville Home’s Plumbing in Top ShapeA well-maintained plumbing system is essential for a comfortable and trouble-free home.

Discover the Best BlogsStay up to date with our latest and most popular posts.Home>Blog>How An Unlicensed Plumbing Professional Could Leave You BankruptHow An Unlicensed Plumbing Professional Could Leave You BankruptYou’ve finally had enough with the constant dripping and cold morning showers. It's time to find a plumber to fix these headaches for you. After doing some research, you realize that you have two options: A licensed company or your friend, Plumber Bob. When the licensed company gives you a higher estimate than Bob, he must be the best option, right? Wrong!Many homeowners look for best value when looking for a repair (and rightfully so), but many don't fully understand the risk involved with hiring an unlicensed plumber. While the lower cost makes them an attractive option, there's a reason they offer that price. Unlicensed plumbers don't typically pay for liability insurance or workers compensation.Why does this matter? Lack of licensing and insurance means you're the general contractor, which can lead to decreased property value and injury and third-party liabilities. In this temporary role, you' re now accountable for w orker’s compensation, theft, third-party damages, contract liability, and legal responsibility.Worker's CompensationThe risk of injury is high in this industry, from falling off ladders to cuts and burns. When hiring an unlicensed plumber, you're responsible if anything happens to them. If they get injured and are unable to work, you'll pay for an expensive medical bill until their recovery from injury.TheftThere's a reason your contractor doesn't carry a license. Many times, criminals who struggle to find work with a legitimate company choose trade work to make a living. This leads an unsuspecting homeowner hiring them, which means you could be welcoming a criminal into your home -- a danger for your family and property. Also, homeowner insurance might not cover theft, if you knowingly hired an unlicensed professional.Third-Party DamagesIf the contractor isn’t a criminal or hurt, you have nothing else to worry about, right? Say they're leaving and accidentally back into your neighbor’s car. Since your contractor isn't insured, the hiring body is responsible for covering the cost of the car repair. This means a $150 repair job just became a $1,500 car bill.Contract LiabilityIt's time to remodel your kitchen! The project's going great, and your unlicensed plumber is finishing up demo ahead of schedule. Suddenly, they don't show up for a day. A day turns into couple days, then a week and so on. Hiring an unlicensed professional makes you accountable for the contract, including the schedule. If your unlicensed professional decides that they don’t feel like working anymore, they're allowed to stop showing up, leaving your dream kitchen a half-demolished nightmare.Legal ResponsibilityIf you decide to go with an unlicensed plumber, keep in mind that you're responsible the project now and in the future. Because homes have building codes to abide by, if state inspector finds a plumbing problem, they'll ask you to go back and bring it up to code. This could lower the value of your home or unexpectedly take money out of your pocket.Another OptionAfter reading, you may be second guessing that home renovation that you've been planning for years. Luckily, another option is available to avoid these headaches.Many trusted, licensed companies are available to make your home's plumbing service or repair go as smoothly as possible. When looking for the right company, check for experience and specific licensing. Both should be easily identifiable on their website.When it comes to these jobs, experience is key to success. As you review licensing, use an online search to verify whether a license is valid or not. Once you find a plumber that's a good option, ask a few questions:Do you have liability insurance?Do you have work guarantees?Can I see all the required permits?Before you decide to take that low price from Bob, ask yourself if you can afford the risk. If not, using a licensed professional is worth the little extra because it saves you long-term expenses and headaches.When looking for plumbing maintenance in Frederick, Maryland, Warner Services hits the nail on the head time and time again.

If you live in a warm climate, supply ventilation is best. For either climate, balanced home ventilation systems could work. What’s the difference?Types Of Home Ventilation SystemsNatural ventilation was the most common form of home ventilation. It allowed fresh outdoor air to replace stuffy indoor air. It occurred through doors, windows, small cracks and holes, and anywhere uncontrolled air movement flowed.Natural ventilation isn’t recommended for most homes with energy-efficient air sealing. It also doesn’t provide adequate moisture control, which can lead to an increase of mold and mildew spores. This can cause sickness or trigger allergies.Natural ventilation also doesn’t uniformly control the temperature of your home. This creates cold spots, lack of indoor air pollutant removal, and higher energy costs.Spot ventilation improves the effectiveness of natural ventilation. It removes moisture and indoor air pollutants at the source using localized exhaust fans. To build upon this method, modern home ventilation systems were built.Exhaust fan ventilation systems use the basics of spot ventilation. These systems depressurize your home through a single fan connected to a centrally located, single exhaust point. The fan connects to ducts from several rooms, and passive vents control the airflow.These systems reduce indoor air pressure below the outdoor air pressure. It extracts indoor air as make-up air infiltrates through leaks in your home and passive vents.According to the U.S. Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), exhaust ventilation systems often draw pollutants into your home. These pollutants include crawl space radon and mold, attic dust, garage fumes, and fireplace or water heater/furnace flue gases.This is especially concerning when bath fans, oven fans, and dryers (which also depressurize your home during operation) run while the exhaust ventilation system also operates.Exhaust ventilation systems also create higher energy costs, because they don’t temper or remove moisture from the make-up air before it enters your home.Supply ventilation systems use the basics of spot ventilation. According to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), these systems pressurize your home using a fan that forces outdoor air into your home as air leaks out of your home through holes in the bath- and oven-fan ducts and passive vents.Like an exhaust fan ventilation system, supply ventilation systems have a fan-and-duct system that introduces fresh air into frequently occupied rooms like bedrooms. This system includes adjustable window or wall vents in infrequently occupied rooms.These systems better control the air that flows into your home, discourage pollutants, and prevent back drafting of combustion gases from fireplaces and HVAC appliances. They also dehumidify the home and control moisture.Similar to exhaust ventilation systems, supply ventilation creates higher energy costs, because they don’t temper or remove moisture from the make-up air before it enters your home.Balanced ventilation systems use the basics of spot ventilation. These systems neither depressurize or pressurize your home. Instead, they “introduce and exhaust approximately equal quantities of fresh [outdoor] air and polluted [indoor] air, respectively,” according to the DOE.Balanced ventilation systems have two fan-and-duct systems that introduce fresh air into frequently occupied rooms. It also exhausts air from rooms where moisture and pollutants are often generated like the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room.Similar to exhaust and supply ventilation systems, balanced ventilation doesn’t temper or remove moisture from the make-up air before it enters your home. However, it uses filters to remove dust and pollen from outdoor air before introducing it into your home. This lowers energy costs compared to other home ventilation systems.Energy recovery systems use the basics of spot ventilation. A supply-and-return duct is required for each bedroom and common living area. Short, straight ducts minimize pressure drops in the ventilation system and improve HVAC performance.These ventilation systems also require ductwork insulation in unheated spaces and joint sealing.The concern with these home ventilation systems is that they’re uncommon and complex to install and operate. According to the EERE, they need to be maintained and cleaned regularly to prevent deterioration, drops in heat recovery, and mold growth.Tip: It’s ill-advised to have an energy recovery system in a cold climate, as frost buildup can damage the system.For more information about home ventilation in Maryland, download our Guide To Home Ventilation from Warner Service.
