Another Water Filtration System Installed By Landry!
Do Water Filters Need Maintenance?
A well maintained water filtration system removes impurities from your drinking and bathing water.
However, without proper maintenance, your water filtration system can let in chemicals like arsenic, lead, iron, and other contaminants.
Over time, the quality of your water can decline, exposing you to toxic pollutants.
Regular Maintenance can extend the lifespan of your system saving you money and protecting your investment.
Inspecting Your Water Filtration System
Inspecting your water filtration system is simple. Here’s a guide on what to look for.
Activated Carbon Replacement Filter
Activated Carbon Filters
Check for Clogs: If you have reduced water pressure, this may indicate a clog.
Replace Water Filter Cartridges every 6 months if they are made with activated carbon.
Sanitize: Periodically use a sanitizing solution to kill bacteria growth. Make sure its a solution recommended by the manufacturer of your system.
Reverse Osmosis Water Filtration System
Reverse Osmosis Systems
Check Pre-Filters: Reverse Osmosis membranes are delicate and can become easily clogged. Make sure to check sediment filters, water polishers, and pre-filters for clogs.
System Flush: Run a system flush periodically to clear out build up
Water Storage Tank: Clean out your water storage tank every 2-3 weeks to prevent bacterial growth
Replace Filters: Replace your Reverse Osmosis Filters every 2 years or as often as the manufacturer recommends
Ultraviolet (UV) Water Sterilizer For Filtration
Ultraviolet Light Filters

Check Electrical Connections: Make sure all electrical components are dry and connected properly
Change the Lamp Once Per Year for optimum disinfection and purity
Whole Home Water Filtration System

System Check: Inspect the entire system, including meters and gauges that could indicate issues. Check all connections for leaks
Check For Clogs: If you notice a reduction in water flow, check cartridges or filter media for clogs
When To Consider a Professional Inspection?
Water Filtration Systems can be complicated. It’s best practice to have a professional inspect your system to detect possible issues and resolve them properly.
Landry Mechanical Inc. offers a wide range of water treatment services including system installations, repairs, replacements, and routine maintenance.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI’s) are electrical safety devices that shut off power during faults. Installing GFCI’s in your home can keep you safe.
However, many homeowners don’t know why they’re important.
Landry Mechanical Inc. is here with a guide to understanding GFCI Outlets and Why They’re Important.
A common GFCI outlet
Protection Against Electrical Shocks
A key feature of GFCI outlets is that they detect ground faults.
According to spruce.com, “a ground fault occurs when a hot wire contacts either the grounding wire or a grounded portion of the system”
The main danger of ground faults is electrical shocks that happen when a person makes a contact with the past of least resistance.
GFCI’s prevent electrical shocks caused by ground faults
How GFCI’s Protect Against Electrical Shocks
A functional GFCI outlet prevents this by rapidly cutting off power in case of a ground fault.
GFCI’s can make your home safer than traditional outlets. However, they aren’t necessary in every area of your home. GCFI’s should be installed in areas that are near water or moisture.
GFCI Outlets are commonly found in bathrooms and kitchens. They should also be in areas with high moisture or outdoor areas
Some common areas for GFCI’s include:
Bathrooms
Kitchens
Laundry Rooms
Garages
Outdoor Areas
Basements
These areas often have water or moisture present that can make electrical shocks more common.
Don’t have GFCI’s in your bathroom or kitchen? “Just Call Landry” Our expert electricians excel at GFCI installations, electrical maintenance, and whole house safety inspections.
While it’s possible to install these outlets yourself, we’d recommend choosing Landry Mechanical to do so.

Cold weather heat pump technology is now available with incentives and rebates through mass-save programs.
Many homeowners wonder, are heat pumps right for Massachusetts Homes?
Ray Landry is the President of Landry Mechanical Inc. A Massachusetts based heat pump, furnace, and electrical contractor with locations in Shrewsbury, Charlton, Framingham, and Millbury.
He shares his thoughts on heat pumps below:
“New England has always burned fossil fuels, because of our uncertain winters, and old drafty homes. Heat pump technology has improved to create better HVAC systems for homeowners in Worcester & Middlesex County, with increased efficiency”
“Heat pump technology has advanced, but doesn’t mean that heat pumps are the best option for everyone!” Ray comments.
These are the top 3 reasons your home may not be a good fit for heat pumps.
1. Homes with Major Drafts
“Homes with loose construction have more hourly air changes, and will require a warmer supply air temperature then heat pumps provide to “feel” warm. Plus, when the temperature falls, your system may not be able to provide adequate heat.”
If you have a drafty home, don’t panic! A Mass-Save energy audit can set you on the right path to seal your dusty home!
Our team fixed a Mitsubishi ductless heat pump in Shrewsbury, MA that a different contractor had installed.
The chief complaint was the customers “were always feeling cold” even with the systems running all the time.
They struggled to reach 67 degrees indoors when outdoor temperatures dropped below 20 degrees.
During a test using an infrared camera, we discovered that the home had insufficient insulation. We determined this through a ‘J load’ test. After one of our home energy partners sealed the home, they solved the problem.
The heat pumps are now the correct size for the home’s needs. Our clients will no longer need jackets in their living room.
2. Homes With Leaky, or Undersized Duct Work
“Even the best HVAC system tied to a faulty duct layout will consume massive amounts of energy. Massachusettshas high electricity rates. Landry says that “improper design of a heat pump can lead to an expensive bill”
Therefore, an assessment of current ducting in place is important to make sure it’s adequate for supporting a new system.
(By the way, just because the old system worked with a flawed duct system, doesn’t mean it was better before. New systems are less forgiving and lack the safety feature that shuts down when detecting improper duct work.)
3. The Electrical Service Is Not Large or Modern Enough to Support a Heat Pump Installation
DANGER Overloaded Electrical Panel
“Heat pumps use a substantial amount of electricity. You must connect a primary heat pump system to an electrical service that is at least 200 amps. Homes over 2500 square feet typically fall into a 400 amp service requirement.
Consider your electrical system, its amp draws, and electrical permits during your heat pump design. We often see contractors who don’t understand the electrical code, and connect to under-sized circuits & panels.
Landry Mechanical provides expert electrical services, and we can include electrical upgrades, in our heat pump proposals when required”
How Do I Determine If a Heat Pump Is Right For My Home?
Our Comfort Advisorswill evaluate your home, perform sizing calculations, and explain heating systems in great detail.
2. Determine ROI (Return on Investment) For Your Project
Don’t just buy a system because of a rebate!
Massachusetts has expensive electricity.
If you deactivate your current HVAC system, you won’t be able to use it in the future. Also, you won’t be able to take advantage of savings if fossil fuel costs decrease.
Landry Mechanical’s HVAC experts can determine your ROI, and the best options for your home.
3. Hire Your Contractor of Choice, and Book Your Installation!
Expect action around your home during the installation. Our teams drill holes for pipes and perform mechanical work both inside and outside your home. We test each system and complete a thorough start-up process.
Now the best part… What does all this cost?
My Best Answer? It Varies!
Older homes in Westborough, MA will cost more to install a heat pump than newer homes in Shrewsbury, MA. A general (and broad) price range for HVAC installation cost (specifically heat pump installation in Massachusetts) is as follows:
Upgrading a central AC system to a modern heat pump can cost between $13,000 and $25,000. This price range exists because of the varying complexity of your homes’ electrical, duct work, and general infrastructure. A new ducted heat pump system installation in Holliston, Millbury, or Framingham, Massachusetts ranges from $35,000 to $65,000. Price can vary based on location, and various other factors.
Ductless heat pump installation costs in Massachusetts
A basic single room heat pump installation can cost as little as $7,000 and as much as $18,000 for complex projects. Multi zone systems can cost between $6,000 to $11,000 per zone. The price varies based on necessary electrical circuit or panel upgrades or if the lineset runs are long or complicated.
Massachusetts has different town or city regulations, building codes, and permits. This can add substantial costs in permit fees, inspections, and engineering.
I cannot stress enough to shop wisely during this process. Prices differ wildly between contractors.
Price Variation is effected by the following:
-Varying Size of Internal Support
-Quality of Installation
-Staff Vs. Subcontractors
-Post-Install Warranty & Service
-Training Quality
-Tooling Used
-Overall Company Structure
