Rain Storm Approaching!

Posted on | by Nick at PAC Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning

Have you checked the weather this week? The forecast calls for HEAVY RAIN all week long! It’s time to prepare your house for the storm! Paul has some tips for you on how you can do that.  Here is how you can prep for the big storm!

  • Check and Clean your Sump Pump - as the storm hits, make sure to drain the water from your check valve by disconnecting and rinsing it. A wet vac can be used to clean up the excess water and debris in the sump pit.
  • Install a Battery Backup Pump - Backup your house just in case that you lose power during the storm. A battery backup Sump Pump can provide pumping capability during power outages and offers several hours of additional protection. They are also used to supplement primary sump pumps.
  • Install A Backup Gas Generator - Ensure your house does not lose power. Many times during these big storms especially, your home is more at risk to lose power.
  • Install A Leak Detector - By placing a Wifi Leak Detector near any equipment that can potentially leak you can potentially save your home from flooding. The Wifi leak detector will alert you of any leaks before it gets bad. It will automatically send an alert to your phone and this will help you AVOID major damage to your home.  If the power goes out, the leak detector will sound off an audible alarm alerting you of the trouble.

Why does my A/C keep freezing up?

Posted on | by Nick at PAC Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning

 

Notice your Air Conditioning unit has been freezing lately? Well Paul has a few reasons on this issue is occurring! Here is a list of why you’re A/C unit is freezing:

 

  • Air Conditioners often freeze up due to restricted air flow. You may need to change your air filter and allow your unit to defrost
  • Check the evaporator coil. Sometimes if you have a dirty coil, it could restrict the air flow causing your unit to freeze up
  • Take a look at your ductwork, registers, vents etc. Make sure that everything is clean and nothing is restricting the air flow.
  • One of the biggest reasons could mean your unit is low on refrigerant. This is something that could cause a LONGTERM issue. If you are having to constantly put Freon in your unit than you have a leak somewhere in it.

If you do have a leak in the unit, Call Paul and have a leak search performed. Depending on how bad the leak is, this could be very co$tly for you. It would be better at that point financial wise to just replace the unit.

 

If the leak is worse than expected, schedule a Free Consultation with one of our Service Experts for a new HVAC unit.
