5 Things
Every Homeowner Should Know About Their Plumbing & HVAC

1. Once a home has sewer trouble, the odds of having trouble increase remarkably. If dealing with sewage isn't your favorite thing, there are 3 preventative maintenance options you can use to dramatically reduce your chances of a sewer back up.
   a) Preventative Sewer Rodding
   b) Chemical Root Treatments
   c) Jetting

2. Energy efficiency can mean even more green in your wallet than the utility savings. Federal tax credits, utility company rebates and manufacturer rebates are often available. When looking at home improvements, be sure to take advantage of these money saving offers. More>

3. On average, a home's sump pump will last between 3-6 years depending on how often it's been activated. A sump pump's age is the best predictor of its reliability. The older it gets, the more at risk you are for a failure. Battery back-up pumps are a good way to mitigate these flood risks.

4. On average HVAC systems deliver only 57% of the equipment's rated heating capacity. You can improve these statistics by performing annual maintenance and verifying that your system is balanced.

5. When buying a new toilet, it is essential that you know the rough dimension. This dimension determines whether the toilet you buy will marry with the existing pipes below it. Too often this overlooked measurement leads to hundreds in wasted spending.
