Need a New Air Conditioner

Are you thinking you’d like to install an air conditioning unit in your home but wondering if you can afford it and if it would be a good idea, here are some things to consider before you call a Texas AC contractor.
1) Is an air conditioner really necessary? Temperatures in Texas, can be quite warm and humid in the summer months, with an average temperature of 85 degrees in July. So most people probably would say, “Yes, I need an AC.”

It can be difficult to sleep at night when you’re hot and sticky and a Texas AC certainly could help you get a good night’s rest. Those who suffer from asthma also report that having an air conditioner helps them breathe better.
You can install a programmable air conditioner that will go on and off when you tell it to. Out of the house most of the day at work? A programmable thermostat will allow you to turn the AC only when you’re a half hour away from home, thus saving you considerably in electricity costs.
2) What do I do if it breaks? Most of all, Texas AC units come with warranties and guarantees. So long as you fill them out and send them back to the manufacturer, the warranty will help you should your air conditioner break down during the warranty time frame.

If the unit breaks after the warranty has expired (or if you never sent in the paperwork), all you need to is call a Texas AC specialist to come to your home to fix it. In fact, you may be able to fix the AC unit yourself; many repairs are easy to make. Check your unit’s owner’s manual first before calling a technician.
3) Do I need a large home? Mine is very small/I live in an apartment. Just about any building, home or office can handle an AC unit. They come in many sizes. Some can be installed out a window or even hung on a wall. Your San Antonio Texas AC technician will be able to look at your space and determine what type of unit will best fit your needs.
What if I don’t have any room? Because of the wide range of products available, most HVAC technicians can successfully perform its installation in just about any home or office. There are large units that are kept outdoors, and then there are even small one-room units that can be hung high on walls or installed out of windows. Many of them take up little space. Is an air conditioner necessary for a business office or store? Even more so than a residential home, air conditioning installation in businesses is greatly important in order to maintain a high level of employee and client satisfaction. Even if your office or store is fairly temperate year-round, most locations are susceptible to the occasional hot days and you could end up losing out on good business.

One of the advantages about home water heaters is that, these heaters can last for a long time. Normally a good quality water heater can last for a decade or more. However, it also depends on the use of the water heater as well. When you are using the heater excessively but not paying any attention towards maintaining it. Then of course, you are reducing the life time of your water heater. When your water heater is not working properly and you are considering replacing with a new one then a high recovery water heater can be the best option. You may be wondering why you should buy a high recovery water heater. Well, there are different reasons due to which a person should replace their old water heater with high recovery water heaters. Many of us don’t know about the advantages of using a high recovery water heater. Obviously, the cost of a high recovery heater is more expensive compared to the cost of a standard recovery heater however the functionality and advantages are more as well.

Below are some of the advantages about high recovery heaters that you must know.More capacity – When we talk about the capacity of a water heater then a low recovery water heater can store up to 30 gallons of water. A medium recovery (normally used) water heater can store up to 40-45 gallons of water but when we talk about a high recovery water heater then we are talking about a heater that can easily store up to 55-60 gallons of water. Those people who often complain about having less warm water in their house should consider the option of high recovery water heater. With more capacity, you will never be out of warm water in your house during cold season.Energy efficient – What do you need more when the water heater installed in your house is very energy efficient? Many people are found complaining about high electricity bills due to their water heaters. However, if you will use a high recovery water heater in your house then sufficient water will be stored in the tank. In this way, your water heater will heat up the water at the same time. On the other hand a low recovery water heater will use twice electricity for heating the water because it has very low capacity as compared to the high recovery water heater.Fulfills needs of entire family – We often hear different family members shouting in the bathroom that there is no more hot water. In some cases, the water heater is not working properly but most of the time it happens because remaining hot water has been used by some other family member. When you have a big family then a high recovery water heater will be your best option because you will be storing twice as much water as compared to your old low recovery water heater. Now, no family member will shout in the bathroom for warm water because there will be sufficient water for whole family.

Electricians Texas

How Your Electrical System Works

Yes, I realize that is an odd name for a website, but there is a reason for choosing this particular combination of words.

You see, when a homeowner in Texas needs electrical work done, be it a simple addition of a light fixture in their bathroom or a complete electric panel upgrade, there is a pretty good chance that you will log on to your computer and type in: Electricians Texas… or maybe Texas Electricians in order to find a company to handle your needs.

And, I wanted you to find my website because unlike other sites that may pop up, I do not own my own electrical repair company.

I’m actually an impartial consumer who was once in your shoes and had a bad enough experience looking for and hiring local electricians that it motivated me enough to create this site to help protect you.

It was kind of my civic duty to do so!

Now, I am not going to bash any electrical outfit out there but I will make a solid recommendation of two very good electricians that are licensed, bonded, insured and that you can trust to take care of you.

In addition to this, I want to educate home owners on how their electrical system works and give you enough knowledge to confidently make a few minor repairs, or, if you are like many homeowners and scared to death of electricity, make an informed decision should you need to hire an electrical contractor in Texas to tackle a larger job.

So, if you have an electrical outlet that no longer has electricity coming out of it or a light that dims when the air conditioner comes on, or anything in between, this site is for you.

Before I got started in this epic quest to find a qualified electrician, I didn’t know a wire nut from my elbow. I did not know the difference between 120 volts and 240 volts, or what having a single phase electrical system meant… maybe you don’t either?

No worries! I will cover all of this at Electricians Texas. We will look at your circuit panel box and discuss what those breakers do and how the electricity is routed through your home.

I will show you how to test an outlet, fix a broken doorbell, and even how to install a GFCI in your bath or kitchen. GFCI stands for ground fault circuit interrupter and is actually an electrical outlet that should be used any where that you or an appliance can come into contact with water… You know, to protect you from the toaster in the bathtub scenario and all!

Most importantly though, this site will help you hire a Texas electrician that is honest and professional.

The last thing you need is to have some backwoods mechanic messing around with your electrical system and put you and your family in danger.

Also, the prices electrical contractors charge for various repair work is all over the board. You can get ripped off very easily when hiring out electrical work because most homeowners have no idea how much these repairs should cost… it is just not something we deal with very often.

And one word of warning. You cannot rely on an organization like the better Business Bureau to vouch for a company.

Most people are not aware of this, but the Better Business Bureau is not any type of official governing body like their name implies and they are actually paid by the businesses they represent! Can you say conflict of interest? Here is a very eye opening story about the BBB that you might want to check out.

It is also important that you know what organizations an electrician should belong to like the National Electrical Contractors Association, or NECA and what type of state contractor’s license they hold or does the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, or DPOR, even know they exist?

Is the owner of the company a Master Electrician or just a guy/gal with a journeyman’s card who has run out of companies to get fired from and started his own business? If so, I doubt he/she has insurance and should something bad happen to your home you may be in for quite a “shock”.

Does your job require a permit and inspection? Will it be done up to city code? I could go on and on but you get the picture.

Hopefully after spending a few minutes at my site, Electricians Texas, you will be able to make an informed decision on who to hire for your electrical job or have the confidence that you can do it yourself…DIY!
