Our Seasonal Water Heater Check-Up

Posted on | by Landry Mechanical Inc Plumbing HVAC & Electric

Water heaters get used regularly, pretty much throughout the year. Hot water is a little more necessary during the wintertime, but we still have plenty of customers who take hot showers and run their dishwashers even during the summer. If that’s your preference, then more power to you!

However, just because you might use a water heater in Milford less often during the summer than you would in the winter, doesn’t mean you can forget about it. This is the same system that you’ll depend on in the coming months when temperatures begin to drop, so make sure you give it the attention it deserves.

Right now is the perfect time to invest in water heater maintenance, since it’s not on most people’s minds and our schedules are open for it. Then, when your water heater is adjusted, maintained, and inspected by a professional, it will be in perfect shape for the future.

Is It Time for an AC Upgrade?

Posted on | by Landry Mechanical Inc Plumbing HVAC & Electric

Times are changing, and so are our needs for comfort and energy efficiency. An air conditioner that seemed adequate 10 years ago is very lacking these days in pretty much every category. This is one of the main reasons why we say that an AC is only designed to last 10-15 years before it needs to be replaced.

AC replacement in Millbury, MA is not just for a system that’s broken down. It’s for units that are just not running effectively or efficiently anymore. Even if the system is pretty effective, you and your family just might not be happy with it anymore–a great reason to start looking at investments for your future.

Just like an old car with several thousand miles on it, these systems can get burdensome over time when they wear down. Make sure you’re aware of your replacement options as you look toward the summers to come.

Why Late Summer Maintenance Matters

Posted on | by Landry Mechanical Inc Plumbing HVAC & Electric

We still have a whole second half of the summer ahead of us, so it’s not technically “late” maintenance yet, but some customers are still thinking they can make it all the way to the end without a tune-up. The truth is that this might be a very bad idea.

Did you know that maintenance is a mandatory service for air conditioning systems like central AC units and heat pumps? If this is news to you, then we understand. They sound like optional services since they’re offered completely separately from a new installation or repair, but it’s true. An air conditioner won’t reach its full potential without the help of routine AC maintenance in Worcester County.

Sure, we have special seasonal deals, but this blog post is all about the details of a maintenance plan and how it drastically improves your technology over time. Just make sure you schedule an appointment before the season winds to a close!

From Window Unit to Central AC: The Big Change

Posted on | by Landry Mechanical Inc Plumbing HVAC & Electric

Yep, it’s time we talked about that topic. You know, the one you may have been avoiding for months or even years. That itty bitty window AC unit or the multiple window units you use to keep your home comfortable throughout the summer are just not cutting it anymore. They’re energy inefficient, they’re not powerful enough, and they keep running into issues.

Instead of purchasing another set of window AC units, or even worse–a standalone mini-AC, it might be time to invest in a central air conditioner in Middlesex County.

We know, everyone sees money flying out of their wallets when they think about the investment cost of a central air conditioner. But in this new reality, with larger and better incentives on their way, a central AC might actually save you more money than you think!

Too Small or Too Large? Common AC Issues

Posted on | by Landry Mechanical Inc Plumbing HVAC & Electric

An air conditioner doesn’t really change throughout the course of its lifespan. It can get maintained or improved on when a professional takes a look at it. But it’s generally going to be the same air conditioning system that you purchased years ago, even when it’s ready for replacement.

However, your home or family might go through many changes in that timeframe, to the point where your AC could be too small–or too large.

An improperly sized AC is a real problem and one that can catch customers by surprise. It’s not easily fixed like other issues through typical air conditioning services in Westborough, MA. This might require replacement or an out-of-the-box solution to get the job done without breaking the bank.

Let’s cover one of the most insidious AC problems you can encounter: an air conditioner that’s too small or too large.

Don’t Overthink Your Plumbing System

Posted on | by Landry Mechanical Inc Plumbing HVAC & Electric

Technology, especially the newest and most advanced tech, always sounds like a good idea. You can probably remember how your mind was blown when you were first introduced to smartphones almost twenty years ago. Sometimes, it just feels great to be ahead of the curve.

However, some parts of a home can’t really be innovated. The more you try to upgrade and change things, the more failure points you’re adding to an already pretty simple and revolutionized system. Plumbing can be one of those areas where overengineering can be the cause of serious issues.

For instance, you might be bored or unimpressed at the piping materials you see at a hardware store, or offered by our plumbing services in Southborough, MA. But before you try to innovate a new solution, remember that there are hundreds upon thousands of years of knowledge and engineering behind just a simple piece of copper or PVC.
