Having an air conditioner isn’t as easy as just turning it on and feeling it cool your home. While the majority of the time this is what we do, having an AC unit means regular check-ups and maintenance to ensure you’re getting the best efficiency out of your system. Neglecting regular maintenance will ensure your unit steadily decreases in perf

Good morning, everyone! Today we’re going to be discussing one more HVAC-related component: ductwork. Now, unless you’re a HVAC specialist of some sort, you probably don’t go around thinking about your ductwork all day long. Instead, you most likely spend your time thinking about other things, like what to cook for dinner and when the next se

Everyone loves a nice, steaming hot bath. Hot water is a luxury, one we’re grateful to have here in the US. We rely on hot water for hygiene and cleanliness, not only for us, but for our dishes and clothes as well.

Winter is filled with many things, including snowball fights, frost, warm clothing, a rise in heating costs, and illness. Yes, that’s right, while you may want a new camera or tablet for Christmas this year, you may end up unwrapping some type of illness as well. The flu, the cold, sore throats, or even a fever could wind up in your body if you

I don’t know why exactly, but I enjoy knowing that my lawn and flowers will get watered regardless if I’m awake or even in town. Something about that fact lets me feel powerful and in control of my garden. Truth be to

Our towns and cities take care of most of our waste needs for us, from providing us with landfills to providing us with septic tanks to properly dispose of our waste products. Still, for some of us who live out of the way of busy cities and towns, we may not be in the proper area for our waste materials to get picked up. Thankfully, there’s an al

Open fireplaces generally produce little heat due to the fire not being as concentrated as it could be in any one particular area. If you decide to purchase a fireplace insert, this can help solve the problem of low efficiency, as well as provide longer burn times and increased overall safety. If you want to install this insert yourself, please kee

Hey folks! With mother’s day right around the corner, I thought it would be a fun idea to take a quick break from plumbing and instead learn a little craft that you could give your mom on her special day. If your mom loves cooking, and if you know she’s always wanted a recipe book for all her yummy treats, this is the perfect gift to grace her
