These valves can be installed for a specific appliance or for your whole home.

Interested in an Automatic Water Shut Off? “Just Call Landry” Our Plumbing experts can install, repair, and replace this equipment.

Run Your Garbage Disposal

How Summer Heat Affects Your Plumbing System

Posted on May 14, 2025 | by arketing | Leave a Comment

“How Summer Heat Affects Your Plumbing System”

As summer temperatures rise, so does the strain that is put on your plumbing system that may lead to costly repairs if left unchecked. While winter plumbing issues like frozen pipes get a lot of attention, the intense heat, humidity, and increased water usage during summer can be just as problematic. Here’s how summer heat affects your plumbing—and tips to keep things running smoothly.

Pipe Expansion and Increased Leak Risk

Heat causes pipes to expand, and when temperatures fluctuate, this expansion and contraction can weaken joints and create small leaks. This is especially common in older plumbing systems or pipes made from materials that aren’t highly heat-resistant.

Solution:

“Just Call Landry” and we’ll inspect your pipes for signs of leaks or cracks.
If your home has metal pipes, consider upgrading to PEX piping, which is more flexible and heat-resistant.

Water Pressure Fluctuations

During summer, high demand for water—whether for sprinklers, pools, or increased household use—can cause fluctuations in pressure. If your home’s plumbing is already old, sudden pressure changes can weaken pipes or even cause bursts.

Low Water Pressure Faucet — Low Water Pressure Could Indicate Plumbing Problems!

Solution:

If you notice sudden drops in water pressure, check for hidden leaks or clogged pipes.
Do you need to upgrade your pipes? “Just Call Landry”

Sewer Line Strain and Backups

Warmer temperatures lead to increased bacterial growth, which can lead to clogs in your sewer system. Additionally, summer storms can oversaturate the ground, putting pressure on underground sewer pipes and leading to slow drains or backups.

Solution:

Avoid flushing grease, wipes, or excess food scraps, which can worsen blockages.
“Just Call Landry” to schedule your inspection before the peak summer months

Outdoor Hose and Sprinkler Wear

If you rely on hoses, sprinklers, and outdoor faucets, constant exposure to UV rays and high temperatures can degrade rubber materials, leading to leaks or cracks.

Old Spigot Washer in Need of Replacement — Does Your Spigot Washer Look Like This? Time For A Replacement!

Solution:

Store hoses in the shade or invest in UV-resistant hoses.
Regularly check sprinkler connections and replace worn-out washers.

Water Heater Overload

Believe it or not, summer can stress your water heater—especially if you’re hosting guests or frequently using hot water for outdoor showers. Increased demand may reduce efficiency, leading to lukewarm water or even breakdowns.

Solution:

Flush your water heater to remove sediment buildup.

Stay Ahead of Summer Plumbing Issues

The best way to avoid summer plumbing headaches is through proactive maintenance. By keeping an eye on leaks, pressure changes, and outdoor fixtures, you can prevent costly repairs and ensure your system stays in top shape all season long.

Do Smart Thermostats Really Save You Money in the Summer?

Posted on May 9, 2025 | by arketing | Leave a Comment

Do Smart Thermostats Really Save You Money in the Summer?

As temperatures rise, so do energy bills. Homeowners looking for ways to cut cooling costs often turn to smart thermostats, which promise efficiency and savings. But do they really make a difference in the summer? Let’s explore how these devices work and whether they can help you keep more money in your pocket.

How Smart Thermostats Can Save You Money

Smart thermostats go beyond traditional programmable models by learning your habits, adjusting temperatures automatically, and allowing remote control via smartphone apps. Many models use geofencing, motion sensors, and weather data to optimize cooling schedules.

How Much Can They Save You?

Studies suggest that smart thermostats can reduce cooling cost by 10-15%. This is done by having automated cooling and heating for your home. Smart thermostats can turn on or off or increase or decrease according to the temperature. This can be very efficient, allowing you to save around $50 a year! Not only do they save money – but also time, convenience, and peace of mind! Other features like tracking your phone or having remote control also are available. They allow for messages to be sent to your phone to nudge you to be more conservative or remind you to turn it off if you’ve left for a vacation.

Should You Make The Switch?

If you frequently forget to adjust your thermostat or have an inconsistent schedule, a smart thermostat can be a great investment. However, if you already use a programmable thermostat effectively, the savings may not be as dramatic.

Ultimately, smart thermostats offer convenience and efficiency, but their financial impact varies.

If cutting cooling costs is your goal, pairing a smart thermostat with good insulation and energy-conscious habits will yield the best results! Interested in a smart home thermostat for your home “Just Call Landry” and our experts will do the job right!

Our HVAC Technicians install hundreds of smart thermostats every year. They’re ready to bring comfort to your home!

Moldy A/C Vent — A/C Vent with mold growing on it. Time For Maintenance!

#5 Bills Breaking the Bank

Was your electricity bill high the last time you checked it? Your unit may be working harder to keep up than before. It might be less efficient from old age and debris inside. This is one tell-tale sign that you need to replace it.

Notice Your Cooling Costs are going up? Time To Just Call Landry!
