Renovation complete, comfort restored! 🏡❄️
We just finished reinstalling this Lennox AC condenser after the customer’s recent home renovation.
Because the backyard ground is still fresh and hasn’t fully settled yet, putting it on a traditional pad risked shifting and unleveling over time. Our solution? A heavy-duty wall mount anchored right into the foundation.
Now it’s rock-solid, perfectly level, and ready to keep the house cool without any sinking feelings. 😎
Do things right the first time! 💪

Side-by-side: A reminder that “out of sight” shouldn’t mean “out of mind.” 🚫🚿

Your hot water tank works 24/7, but it’s often the most neglected appliance in the house. Flushing your tank and replacing old P&T valves isn’t just about plumbing—it’s about safety, water quality, and extending the life of your heater.

Is it time you checked on yours? 👇

Is your floor heating running on “sludge”? 🌡️🤢
Swipe to see why a Glycol Flush is the most important maintenance task you’ve probably forgotten about!

🗓️ How long does Glycol actually last?

Most high-quality glycol is designed to protect your system for 3-7 years. After that, the corrosion inhibitors start to break down and the fluid becomes acidic. If you haven’t had a professional pH and freeze-point check in half a decade, your system is likely working overtime!

We recently tackled a radiant in-floor system that was in rough shape. Here is the process of bringing it back to life:

📸 The “Before” (Photos 1 & 2)

That dark, murky “tea” in the bucket? That’s degraded glycol. When it sits too long, it turns into an acidic sludge. Instead of protecting your pipes, it starts eating your boiler’s heat exchanger and manifolds from the inside out. We used Fernox F3 Cleaner to break all that junk loose.

📸 The “Deep Clean” (Photo 3)

Once the cleaner is circulating, the water takes on a deep blue/teal tinge. This is the chemical reaction at work—the restorer is lifting years of “magnetite” (black iron oxide) and scale off the walls of the PEX tubing. It holds the gunk in suspension so we can get it OUT of your house.

📸 The “Fresh Start” (Photo 4)

This is the goal! We flush the system with fresh water until it runs crystal clear. If you don’t flush until it’s this clean, any leftover acid will immediately “poison” your new glycol.

📸 The “Protection” (Photo 5)

Finally, we pump in the fresh glycol (that bright pink/orange fluid). Now that the “arteries” are clean, this new fluid can provide 100% freeze protection and corrosion resistance.

🛠️ The Lesson:

Don’t wait for a $10,000 boiler failure to find out your glycol is shot. A simple maintenance flush every few years keeps your floors toasty and your utility bills low. 💸

🚨 CAUTION: The “Great Thaw” Service Alert 🚨

As temperatures rise this week, the heavy snow on your roof is going to slide. This “roof avalanche” can cause three specific (and expensive) problems for your heating system.

1️⃣ High-Efficiency PVC Vents (Furnaces & Water Heaters)
Those white plastic pipes on the side of your house are your system’s “lungs.”

⚠️The Risk: Sliding snow can bury these vents or, worse, the weight of the snow can shear the pipes right off the wall.

🛠️The Fix: Ensure there is at least a 12-inch clearance around your intake and exhaust pipes. If your furnace suddenly stops or throws a “Pressure Switch” error code, check for snow blockage first!

2️⃣ Heat Pump Fans (Outdoor Units)
If you have a heat pump, the outdoor fan is vulnerable during a thaw-and-freeze cycle.

⚠️The Risk: Snow falling from the eaves can pack into the top and sides of the unit. When that snow melts and refreezes at night, it can turn into a solid block of ice that shatters your fan blades the moment the unit kicks on.

🛠️The Fix: If your unit is under an eave, gently clear the top/side screen of any heavy snow or ice chunks before the next cold snap.

3️⃣ Gas Meter Venting
This is the one everyone forgets, but it’s a major safety hazard.

⚠️ The Risk: Your gas meter has a small “regulator vent.” If snow slides off the roof and buries the meter, that vent can clog. This can cause erratic gas pressure or even a gas leak inside the home.

🛠️The Fix: Clear the snow away from your gas meter using a broom or your hands—never a metal shovel or snowblower, which can strike the high-pressure lines.

‼️SAFETY NOTE: If you see your PVC vents are cracked or hanging loose after a roof slide, shut off your furnace immediately and call us 705-704-HVAC

Running a system with a broken exhaust pipe can vent Carbon Monoxide directly into your crawlspace or basement.
