Good for the environment- many homeowners who make the oil to gas conversion see some pretty impressive improvements in their homes' greenhouse gas output.

Don't waste your energy or money on leaky ductwork! The Aeroseal duct sealing process is the single most effective and efficient method for duct sealing.

The Department of Energy proclaimed Aeroseal technology to be one of the top 23 most important energy conservation technologies for consumers to be released since the department was first established in 1977.

Ducts are the piping systems that distribute air throughout your home and heating/cooling system. Your ductwork both distributes conditioned air throughout the house and pulls air from your home to the HVAC system. An expertly sized and installed duct system can be very efficient, and when it is properly sealed and filtered, your duct system may never need to be cleaned. If your system is in need of a cleaning, there is most likely some underlying cause that is making it dirty. We find that duct cleaning is a great service that can help with any these problems but will not necessarily solve the problem or prevent the condition or symptom from returning in the future.

Your backflow preventer is one of the most important aspects of your building's plumbing system in the MD or DC area-it's designed to prevent dirty or contaminated water, commonly from sprinkler systems, from being siphoned back into your potable water supply. In addition to lawn sprinklers and irrigation, backflow preventers should be installed in swimming pools, dishwashers, washing machines, hose bibbs, and anywhere else where contaminated water is at risk of ending up in the clean water. However, if your backflow preventer isn't working properly, you could be putting your potable water at risk.

Like the name suggests, water softeners reduce the hardness of water. Of course, this in and of itself is a little confusing, because "hard water" sounds a lot like ice - this, obviously, is not the case. Water hardness refers to the presence of certain mineral ions, such as calcium and magnesium, in the water. Hard water leads to scale buildup on water fixtures and can coat heating elements in your water heater, leading to pretty severe efficiency loss. Hard water can also reduce the lathering ability of soap and leave a residue on your skin and hair after a shower (interestingly enough).

Is your furnace starting to show signs of aging? Do you find yourself needing furnace repairs more than once every season?

Every person has to deal with leaky faucets at some point in their life, and there are few household problems that are more frustrating. It's no wonder that they're often in need of repairs or replacements-faucets are some of the most used appliances in your home, so it's only natural that some of the parts, particularly the more fragile parts like the washers and O-rings, start to wear out. Over time, leaky faucets can be more than a nuisance-all that dripping can erode your pipes and potentially waste hundreds of gallons of water or more each year!

Do you have an old, underperforming boiler in your home that needs to be replaced? Not sure yet whether or not it's time to make the jump? The experts at James A. Wheat & Sons know boilers inside and out and we can help you determine whether or not it's time to replace your aging boiler.
