Why do you need to carry out maintenance works on your cooling and heating system?

Heating Repair Company Philadelphia and HVAC Repair Company Philadelphia.

Apart from the money you spend buying or building the house, installing your heating and cooling system is vital! It is one of the largest investments you will ever make trying in your home. Proper service not only helps keep you’re A/C system running efficiently but also helps to give you’re A/C unit more life and prevent premature replacement. On the other hand, poorly maintained air conditioning systems lead to increased cost of cooling and heating system repair and replacement.

Your repair and maintenance partners Heating Repair Company Philadelphia and HVAC Repair Company Philadelphia will show you why maintaining your cooling and heating system is important. The following are the things that can happen to a poorly maintained cooling and heating system.

 1 Clogging of the evaporator coil

Failure to replace your air filter every 30 days could lead to clogging of your evaporator coil. Apart from leading to poor cooling and heating, this will lead to irreversible damage to your compressor. The result will be high operational costs for repairs and replacement of the compressor.

  2 Failure of the condenser coil

Not cleaning the condenser coil in the outdoor unit for years can lead to its premature failure consequently increasing cooling and heating repair and replacement costs. For your systems to operate at their maximum potential, you certainly need to ensure your condenser coil is regularly cleaned.

 3 Premature compressor failure

Your pets, dogs or cats, should not be allowed to turn the condenser unit into their territory. The deterioration that is likely to result from your canine clawing their paws at the condenser unit may cause poor performance, premature compressor failure, and high operational costs.

  4 Home fires

Your high voltage electrical connections should be done at the highest standards to prevent damage by resultant fires. Not to mention that such fires can cause damage running into thousands of dollars, if not caught on time. Hence why we recommend frequent maintenance works.

  5 Health problems to the family

For both your cooling and heating system, air must flow through the ductwork to give you the required temperatures in your house. However, if your ducts have taken a long time to clean, they may have accumulated a lot of dust and dirt which is passed on to your family’s airspace. This may cause respiratory health problems to members of your family.

Professional TIPS for Maintaining your Plumbing System Philadelphia

A very important part of your home is the plumbing system and it remains one of the most frequently used also. You are doing so many things that have to do with the plumbing work in the house – you take a shower, visit the toilet, do the dishes, wash your hands, do your laundry and so on. That is not all; the boiler heating in a lot of homes is directly connected to the central plumbing system, take for example, your water heater. Blocked drain is plumbing problems commonly experience at home and they do more harm than good. This is the major reason why you need the help of a professional plumbing repair company that will help to completely remove the chunk of grease or hair that is plugging your drainpipes. But professionals cannot be in your house every time, so you need to know few tips on how to keep your plumbing system running as smooth as possible. Highlighted below are few tips on how to ensure smooth and efficient running of your home plumbing system:

Be Familiar with Your Plumbing System

This is definitely one of the most important things you need to know about your plumbing system. To maintain your home plumbing, you must know where your pipes are located, their direction, which one leads to which one and so on. During renovations or some basic home repair activities, piping can be damaged unknowingly with either nails or staples. You can get stud sensors from any hardware store closer to you to know where water shut-off valve are located and how to turn it off in case of any emergency or when there is need for you to do so.

Keep Your Drains Clean

It is very vital to have your sewage drains inspected and cleaned by a professional on a regular basis. This is necessary to increase their lifespan. It is better and cost-efficient to maintain them than to pay heavily for them to be repaired or replaced pipes.

Avoid Chemical Drain-Clearing Products

You can easily use chemicals to clear your drain pipes, but the truth is they do more damage to the drainpipes than good. It is very amazing to know that some of these problems can easily be corrected with the use of common chemicals, but it might lead to corrosion of the cast-iron drainpipes and because the clog cannot be removed totally by the use of chemicals, there might be reoccurrence of the problem sooner than you expected.

Always Check for Leaks

If you want to enjoy your plumbing system as you should, then you must always check for leaks. Failure to do this will cost you extra bucks as a lot of water will be wasted. Well, it might be a bit cumbersome to do, so the best way to do it is to check the water meter to know the level before going to bed when no one else is using water, then check the meter again when you wake up before anybody else do.

Avoid Future Clogging

The pressure puts by backed-up water on wastepipes badly stress and shortens their lifespan. Try as much as possible to avoid plug-ups by taking good note of what goes down your drains. As much as possible, keep hair out of your bathroom drains, food scraps out of the kitchen drains and things like toilet paper and sewage out of toilets. Prevent buildups by installing screens over drains in tubs and showers and make sure you pull out hair on a weekly basis. Remember, grease is liquid when hot, but solid when cold, avoid pouring grease down the drain.

Reasons we are thankful in 2016

Posted on Saturday, December 10 2016 in Daniels HVAC News

During this holiday season it is important to be reminded about the many things that Daniels HVAC; providing quality heating and air conditioning repair, maintenance, installation and replacement to the Philadelphia area for over 25 years, has to be thankful for. Even as the end of the year continues to approach, we find ourselves echoing our thankfulness as we look back across 2016.

Daniels HVAC would like to express a few things, as we reflect on our trials and successes of 2016, that we find ourselves to be very thankful for:

Our customers

No heating and air conditioning business can be successful without great customers, ours is no different. Perhaps the thing that we are most grateful for is how incredible our customers have been to us here at Daniels HVAC over the last 25 years. While we have worked hard to provide our customers with exceeding value in heating and air conditioning services; we continue to be amazed at how gracious our customers have been.

Much of our business is based on referrals from the many customers that we have had the opportunity to provide exceptional heating and air conditioning services to; perhaps the greatest complement that we can receive from our customers is a referral to a friend. It is also important to note that many of our customers have become good friends, desiring to partner with our vision and participate in our work ethic. As 2017 approaches, we want to say a hearty “thank you” to the many customers that have made the choice to utilize Daniels HVAC for their heating and air conditioning service needs.

Our team

In the HVAC industry your business is only as good as the talent that you have working for you. At Daniels HVAC in Philadelphia, we have been blessed to have some of the heating and air conditioning industry’s best service specialists that have chosen to partner their talents with us. It is their patience and perseverance that has shown through in the workmanship that they have provided to our many thankful customers in Philadelphia.

As the owner of Daniels HVAC (Nate) I wish to extend my deepest thanks to all of the team members here at Daniels HVAC. I would like to express my desire that 2017 builds upon the success of 2016 and that our relationship grows stronger with each passing day. We simply could not have had a successful year without the outstanding talents of each and every member of our team.

Our families

Building a successful heating and air conditioning business in Philadelphia often requires sacrifices of time. Sometimes heating and air conditioning services cannot be done during regular business hours and requires a dedicated team, able to be flexible to customer’s time constraints.

Perhaps the greater sacrifice made in these times is that of our families. All of the staff and team members of Daniels HVAC wish to extend our gratefulness to the sacrifices that our family members have made throughout 2016; your sacrifice does not go unnoticed and is very much appreciated.

Business partnerships

Another factor that has made 2016 a success for Daniels HVAC is the partnerships that we have been able to make. From the dedicated staff that works with our website to the companies that service our equipment, we want to say thank you for the level of service that you have provided to help make us successful. To our manufacturer representatives, vendors, materials suppliers and others that have shared in the business model and vision of Daniels HVAC over the last 25 years, we want to say thank you.

Keeping things in perspective

There are so many things that, honestly, we could take the time to say that we are thankful for. We would be remiss to not take a few moments to acknowledge how thankful we are to be able to operate a heating and air conditioning company in such a great country.

The sacrifices that soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines make (as well as their families) to keep us safe and free; does not go unnoticed and we are truly thankful.

Furthermore; the daily sacrifices of our dedicated public safety officers (police, fire and EMT’s) make to help preserve the peace on the streets of America is certainly appreciated. It is the sacrifices of individuals such as these that make it possible for companies like ours to prosper in this great and free nation.

As 2017 quickly approaches we look forward to being able to continue a work ethic that has allowed us to provide great service to our customers; with the anticipation of many years to come.

We look forward to serving you in 2017 and for years to come

Importance of hvac service from leading HVAC REPAIR COMPANY

A well-maintained heating system is one of the most important ways of enjoying winter without difficulties. You will agree with me that we only have few things worse for a home owner than being uncomfortable in his/her own house. You cannot afford to stay in a place that is either too cold or too hot; this will create a lot of discomfort around the house. To live a comfortable life, your heating system must be well maintained through regular servicing by a professional HAVC repair company.  This will not only keep your heating system in an excellent working condition but will also ensure you are comfortable during the winter months. It is pertinent to note that sending your heating system for repairs need huge costs; one of the major ways of avoiding such expenses is through regular precautionary maintenance.

So many heating and air conditioning repairs could be avoided if they are not neglected and are given essential regular preventive maintenance measures. In most cases, they are neglected and are noticed when it is already too late, probably when the ventilating, cooling or heating function already weakens or do not turn on anymore. There is no need to worry yourself much about this as the contractors handing the cleaning, maintenance and inspection can take up the burden. All they need to do is to check the safety controls, system’s operation, connections, electrical components and so on. Yes, this will come with a price tag, but you will be certain of having peace of mind. It is very vital to have HVAC unit service regularly to provide comfort and convenience needed by your family.

Highlighted below are few reasons why you need to invest in your HVAC unit maintenance:

• Increases Your Units ’Lifespan: To prolong your units’ lifespan, regular maintenance is needed. It helps to keep it in best working condition. If your heating unit has not had a tune up in a while, it might be working overtime. Regular maintenance helps increase units’ lifespan and prevents unnecessary breakdowns.
• Lower Energy Bills: Your HVAC units breathe and run efficiently when you maintain it on a regular basis. The resultant effect of this is decreasing energy bills which put more money back into your pocket. Any major issue is addressed before they get out of control.
• Improved Air Quality: When an expert inspects your HVAC unit for any safety hazards, you are improving the air quality and creating a safer environment around your house. Your heating unit can cause fires if left for too long unmaintained. Regular maintenance will ensure clean ducts and air filters which will both increase functionality and improve air quality. 

In conclusion, a well-maintained heating system is a very good idea for your home. Not only will you be more comfortable but you will also reduce the risk of winter hazards like frost on doors and windows and frozen pipes. Regular maintenance will give you the opportunity of putting your savings in other areas. Contact us at www.DanielsHVACPhiladelphia.com for your unprecedented HVAC repair service.

In Philadelphia, the temperatures can get really cold sometimes especially during the winter months. It has become a common phenomenon for homeowners to begin to contemplate on the readiness of their heating system in handling the winter months, whether they will be able to run constantly. There is no doubt about it; keeping your home as warm as possible is one of the things that will be at the top of your list when getting ready for winter.

There are many occasions where the outside temperature will drop, especially during the winter, all you need is to keep calm and make use of tricks highlighted below to keep your home as warm as possible:

• Make Use of Rugs and Several Carpets: When you lay a number of rugs and carpets over hardwood floors, you are trying to retain heat as much as possible. This will not only retain heat, but will also make your family’s feet feel better when they walk around the house barefoot.
• Invest In Insulation: Another very effective trick is to put plastic film around your windows to insulate your home. These plastic films are reasonably priced and are very effective in preventing drafts of cold wind from blowing past any warped and old window frames.

AIR CONDITIONER, IMPROVING THE LIFESPAN

AIR CONDITIONER, IMPROVING THE LIFESPAN

Posted on Monday, December 5 2016 in Air Conditioning Repair Philadelphia

AIR CONDITIONER, IMPROVING THE LIFESPAN

It is no more news that poor working condition of your air conditioner will put you in a very sticky, hot and humid condition particularly in the summer; and to the elderly, extreme temperatures could be more dangerous. You need to stay comfortable by having an air conditioner that is in perfect condition. Your air conditioner may not work correctly based on variety of problems; from thermostat or sensor not working correctly to compressor or motor failure to dirty filter or evaporator and to low level of refrigerant.  It is very vital to have a trustworthy and experienced technician check up your system as improper care like failing to fix a leak, adding the wrong refrigerant or making so many other errors can create more problems.

If you have neglected a checkup for so long, chances are that your air conditioner may not function as well as it should. Leaving debris and dirt congesting the cooling fins can considerably reduce the effectiveness of your air conditioner and to crown it all, will reduce its lifespan. It is obvious you cannot do everything; only an expert can fix things up, but most of the routine cleaning chores can be easily handled by you. It is pertinent to note that purchasing a new air conditioner may be the best solution in some cases; at www.DanielshvacPhiladelphia.com   will help you choose the best option as well as the right size for your home, bearing in mind your lifestyle.

So what can you do to guarantee optimal working condition of your air conditioner? Highlighted below are some tips that will guide you in maintaining your system:

Clean the Condenser

One of the most important things to do before cleaning your condenser is to switch off the power at the main electrical panel. Have your outdoor unit cleaned.  Clean the condenser fins. They usually get dirty mainly because air is suck through them by a central fan, pulling in dead leaves, dust, dead grass and floating cotton. The cooling ability is reduced when the debris obstruct the airflow. You might want to check the owner’s manual for direction on how to do this efficiently.

Restart the Condenser

After cleaning, turn the power on and set the house thermostat to cool to power on the compressor. The insulated tube should become cool after few minutes. If you mistakenly switched your AC off while the compressor was running, you need to at least wait for five minutes before switching it on again; this is simply to decompress the compressor before restarting.

Clean the Indoor Unit

To do this, you need to also switch off the power at a nearby switch or at the main source. Pull out the furnace filter, check it for dirt buildup, clean it or replace it if necessary. Vacuum the evaporator fins with a brush just like you did with the condenser in the outdoor unit. You might also need to check the manual for details on this or visit us at www.DanielshvacPhiladelphia.com

Is Cleaning my heating vents needed?

Is Cleaning my heating vents needed?

Posted on Sunday, December 4, 2016 in heating repair service Philadelphia

sneezing - Heater repair services in Philadelphia For those homes in Philadelphia that utilize a forced air heating system that relies on ductwork to channel the heated air throughout the home, you may have noticed clouds of dust or even odd smells when you fired up your heater for the winter; this more than likely was a result of a buildup of dust and debris in your heating ductwork. Daniels HVAC has been serving the needs of Philadelphia homes for over 25 years. Our experience in the different areas of heating for your home gives us a unique perspective and ways to help you live a more comfortable and problem free winter. Take a look at some of the information about the need for, and how to properly clean, your forced air heating ductwork in your Philadelphia home.

Allergy Sufferers Beware

Because the ductwork in your Philadelphia home is something you don’t generally think about throughout the year it is the ideal nesting place for dust, allergens, debris, fungus and mold that can easily cause allergy sufferers to have a miserable winter season as well as make it easier to get sick. While many Philadelphia residents are never affected by allergens it can certainly make for an uncomfortable time for many that suffer from these allergens. Properly cleaning the vents and ductwork can significantly cut down on reactions from the debris and contaminants that can often build up inside of the ductwork.

Location, Location, Location

It is the location of the floor vents that is most common in Philadelphia homes that makes them most susceptible for collecting dust and debris. Because they are on the floor they collect dirt just like your carpet and floors do, only the dirt builds up around the vents or goes down into the ductwork making it more difficult for your vacuum cleaner or mop to resolve. Because the floor vents are traditionally positioned within the walkway, the vent can act like a cheese grater on the bottom of your shoes knocking the dirt off and into the ductwork. This dirt can combine with the dust pulled into the system from the return vent and create a hodgepodge of dirt and debris into your ductwork system. Unattended over a period of time this can create mold, fungus and other allergens that can start to put off a foul smell.

Can I save money and clean the ductwork myself?

Cleaning Heater Vents - Heater repair services in Philadelphia While Daniels HVAC does recommend the regular and general cleaning of the heating vents, the ability of the standard homeowner to be able to effectively clean the ductwork within the home is very difficult. Daniels HVAC in Philadelphia utilizes special tools and techniques to properly clean the ductwork to remove dirt, debris, mold and other contaminants. While utilizing long vacuum hoses may sound effective it can sometimes just push the larger particles further down into the system, making it more difficult later on. Not to mention, for most Philadelphia homes ductwork is not simply going straight lines; the ductwork bends and twists within the walls moving around electrical wires and water pipes, so having the proper equipment is a must.

What is the best way to keep my ductwork clean?

The simplest and most effective way to help keep your ductwork clean is to regularly change your filters. Even cheap HVAC filters do a good job of catching particles that can continue to circulate through your forced air heating system when replaced every 30 days. More expensive filters can work better on the finer particles that can often result in allergens and often say you can go up to 90 days between changing, we do not recommend any filter being in the system that long. Regardless the filtering capacity the filter you should still regularly replace the filters to remove the contaminants every 30 days.

Do electrostatic filters really work?

Actually yes. Electrostatic HVAC filters installed into your Philadelphia home can bring an added layer of protection as the electrical current creates a drawing effect for dust particles that pulls and traps them in the filter material. While I’m not sure it’s fully justifies the price that some of them are going for, they actually do have a measurable reduction in dust circulation within the home.

When Experience Counts

Daniels HVAC has been the go to heating expert in Philadelphia for over 25 years. We know how important it is to be able to get a heating system expert out quickly; but just as important is one that will treat you fairly. We pride ourselves in living and working in the same community in which we serve; Philadelphia has always been our home and suspect it always will be. Call us if you need heating repair, maintenance or installation of a variety of different heating systems. We are backed and certified by a number of manufacturers as well as fully licensed and insured.

3 WAYS TO SAVE FOR THE HOME FROM ELECTRICAL REPAIR SERVICES

Posted on Wednesday, November 2 2016 in electrical repair service Philadelphia

3 WAYS TO SAVE FOR THE HOME FROM ELECTRICAL REPAIR SERVICES

For all electrical repairs, it could be said that the services of a professional repairer cannot be over emphasized. This is true since electrical repairs cannot be done by everyone. There is need to ensure that the services of a professional electrical service engineer or technician is employed in order for the best electrical repairs to be made. With a professional or an experienced electrical technician, mistakes that could lead to extra costs are limited, the dangers that could arise from poor electrical repairs are also eliminated and this can go a long way in making the home a safe haven. It is also important to ensure that the best and quality materials are used during electrical service repairs. This may be a capital-intensive aspect of electrical repairs which is quite a fact but on this article, I am going to highlight three ways through which you can save for the home from electrical repair services.

SHOP FOR MATERIALS YOURSELF

As an experience person in the field, I always prefer to shop for the materials needed for the maintenance myself. This is quite unusual especially since it is a common practice to have these components supply the needed parts. Because these contractors impose an extra charge for supplies, I therefore recommend that you pay for the repair services and provide the needed electrical parts yourself. Buying these yourself will make it possible for you to compare prices and save money. You’ll also reduce the future cost since you’ll be moved to buy the best quality with longer life span.

Fittings like light bulbs, electrical switches, outfits and other necessary features are quite easy to buy and should not pose a problem. By buying these yourself, you’ll be able to make the right choice for your home, the colors and specs that are just perfect for the home and would leave a good face for the home despite the electrical repairs.

 SELECT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR WITHIN YOUR CITY

Contractors often include travelling expenses in their bills and in order to avoid this, I suggest you contact a electrical contractor that lives just within the same location as you. Here is yet another trick to save yourself from paying extra amounts to the contractor. If the company is such that would allow employees take the company vehicle home, then you’ll have to make sure the repair time is scheduled just the same time a technician will be using the car. By this, you’ll have your repairs done without having to pay for their fares.

 ALWAYS CONSIDER THE QUALITY

This is yet another factor that would help you save. Let me make it clear here that quality should be your primary aim. Quality in this aspect means the repaired component or part will not develop another fault just a few weeks after it has been changed or worked upon.

In order to ensure a quality electrical repair is carried out, you must find a contractor that has a reputation for quality electrical repair services. This may require a higher cost but a quality Job from what we have seen is worth the extra charge.

With the 3 points discussed here, I think it is possible to save a lot of money during electrical repairs in Philadelphia PA. Remember, the economy is tough and this is a world where every cent counts.

Sticking to the above tips will help you reduce your expenses on your home electrical repairs and help you to save more money. CLICK HERE FOR THE BEST COMPANY

Home Plumbing Repairs – Easy ways to repair

Repairing running toilets, faucets, and replacing fixtures like shower heads are some of the home plumbing repair problems that you can solve yourself without having a need of a plumber.

These much easier to do tasks save you from spending money on plumbers if you tackle them efficiently. All you need is some plumbing equipment with you that will cost you lesser than the fees a professional plumber.

To start with, make sure you have turned off the water flowing of the part you are working on. There are easy-to-access gate valves to turn on or off the water supply. If you do not find the gate valves to shut down the water flow of that particular part, you will have to turn off the main water supply of your home to work on your plumbing repairs. Having the right tools and equipment also help a great deal.

Read on to know about simple plumbing repairs that you can do without the need of any expert.

 Leaking faucets:

The leaking problem in faucets is usually caused by any problem in its handle. What you have to do is to take out the handle, and pop out the mechanism. Spot the part that is causing trouble and replace it. If you are unable to spot out defected piece you can get a new faucet kit and replace it. Faucet mechanism usually works in three ways i.e. rotating ball valve, cartridge, and ceramic disk.

Installation of a new shower head:

Installing a new shower head is considered to be one of the easiest plumbing projects. You simply have to unscrew the existing shower head from the pipe coming out of the wall that is known as shower arm. Look for the threads coming out of the shower arm and clean them. Screw the new showerhead on. In some cases, you may need to wrap a Teflon tape around your pipe. See the installation manual that comes with new shower head and only use the tape only if it is required to.

Noisy Pipes solution:

 You might have heard a high-pitched squeal like sound coming out of your shower while turning it on. This may be caused by water flow at a certain pressure that creates vibrations in pipes. Fixing it is rather simple. You can simply replace the shower head and add a flow control device or the shower arm. If the sound still does not stop, replace the wear parts in the valve of the shower. The irritating sound will be gone.

frozen busted water pipe It may happen that the water pressure of whole of your area is high hence you hear those noises. In this case, the issue is out of your reach and you will have to contact your water utility to resolve the issue.

HOME FURNACE MAINTENANCE

Nobody wants to be in a situation where it gets tougher to survive in extreme cold up north. It's winter in Philadelphia, and you would definitely need a heating system to keep your home warm. Home-Furnaces plays an important role in taking care of your home’s heating system during winters. Philadelphia has a great number of HVAC contractors who would install and provide furnace repair service on heater and furnace system at a very low price. They will skip the safety switches to save the landlord money to get the job please don’t used they guys.

Normally, a furnace system will serve you for many years before furnace repair or a furnace replacement is needed but that won’t happen if proper furnace maintenance and frequent checks aren’t carried out. Unfortunately, we only pay attention to something when a problem arises and damage has already been done. You being the user, should know when it is required to clean up your home gas furnace. This way you can prevent your electric furnace from major costly furnace repairs as well as ensure that your central units are efficient enough to save you money on your monthly power bill.

There are a few tips I would like to give to you for better functioning of your home furnace or heater.

1.Make sure that you are working under safe conditions          Gas appliances can malfunction anytime, therefore, you must ensure that you have taken proper and adequate safety measures before you exercise any cleaning or repairing work. 

2.Make sure there are no flammable objects around your furnace                Normally a home gas furnace is located in a basement, a storage room or in a separate place. The best way to avoid any hazards taking place in your home will be to not place any flammable thing, like clothes, gasoline, paint or any other household item that can catch fire, close to the furnace.

3.Clean and replace filter for better functioning of blower motor
          The blower motor repair along with the filter plays a crucial role in a furnace system. The filter traps dust and debris and serves in the process of delivering warm and fresh air throughout the rooms in your home. An unclean or faulty filter would mean a malfunctioning blower since the filter is installed in the furnace blower. The easiest way of maintaining your furnace maintenance is to replace your filter. It is inexpensive and will keep your furnace blower motor functional thus saving money over complete replacement or repair of a blower motor.

4.Clean condenser coils
          Dirt and dust will clog upon the condenser gradually if it is not cleaned frequently and this will result in a poor heating performance of the furnace or heater.

5. Clean the ducts
          Blocked ventilation is dangerous and can cause lots of hazards to the users. A professional would remove the vent and use a high-powered vacuum to clean up the ducts and vents from the inside but you can use a large brush for cleaning the vents.

Although You can get the most out of your furnace by cleaning and maintaining it yourself if you follow the above tips, a thorough inspection by a professional hvac company will always be helpful in identifying major sources of heat loss in your home and also in identifying the irregularities or problems with the furnace which you cannot take care of by yourself. A small checkup would cost you a little money but may save you from other hurdles and damages in the long run.
