Don't let your summer electric bill take you by surprise! ☀️⬇️

Hey neighbors! With the summer heat officially here, your AC is working overtime. Before you crank the thermostat down to freezing, try these 3 quick tips from the Patriot Services team to stay cool and save some cash:

The 20-Degree Rule: Your AC is designed to cool your home about 20°F lower than the outside temperature. Setting it to 65°F when it's 95°F outside won't cool the house faster—it just makes your system run constantly, driving up your bill!

Flip the Fan Switch: Check your ceiling fans. In the summer, they should rotate counter-clockwise to push a cool breeze straight down. (Bonus: This lets you set your thermostat a couple of degrees higher without losing comfort).

The 1-Month Filter Rule: A dirty filter blocks airflow, forcing your system to work twice as hard. Check it once a month and change it if it looks gray or dusty.

Is your AC blowing lukewarm or making strange noises? Don't sweat it out.

🚨 THE REASON YOUR DRAINS ARE RUNNING SLOW (It might not be what you think!) 🚨

Take a look at this. 😱 We recently had to completely replace a customer's drain line and P-trap because it was almost 100% blocked off.

The culprit? It actually started years ago during a tile remodel. A little bit of leftover grout was washed down the shower drain. Once that grout dried inside the pipe, it created a rough, jagged surface.

From there, it became a magnet for:
⚠️ Hard water minerals
⚠️ Hair
⚠️ Soap scum and grease

Over the course of a few years, it grew into a solid blockage that no plunger or chemical drain cleaner could ever touch.

This is exactly why routine plumbing maintenance checks are so important.

A slow drain isn't always just a simple hair clog—sometimes it's a hidden issue deep in your pipes that is quietly turning into a massive, costly headache. Catching these issues early saves you money, stress, and major repair bills down the road.

Is your shower or sink taking forever to drain? Don't wait until it's completely backed up!

🎉 Happy 17th Work Anniversary to the one and only, Don Gibson! 🎉

If you know Don, you know he is the guy every single company wishes they had. From fixing and maintaining all of our equipment to tackling the toughest plumbing, drains, and underground work, there is truly nothing Don can’t handle. 🛠️💧

But what makes Don even more special is his willingness to share that wealth of knowledge. He has been an incredible mentor to our younger technicians, taking them under his wing and showing them the ropes. Watching him pass down his expertise and help shape the next generation of techs is truly amazing to see.

When he’s not at work holding down the fort or teaching the team, you can guess exactly where to find him: fishing... period! 🎣🐟

Don, you are an invaluable resource to this team, and we are so grateful for your dedication, leadership, and hard work day in and day out.

Thank you for 17 incredible years of tenure! We appreciate everything you do (and hope you catch a big one this weekend!). 👏💼

To Our Incredible Technician Team: Thank You.
I’ll be the first to admit that I am not always easy to work for. I have incredibly high standards, and I push hard. But I want to be clear about why: it’s because I see how talented this team is, and I care too much about their growth to let them settle for anything less than greatness.

The truth is, high standards don’t mean anything without a team capable of meeting them. And our technicians don't just meet the bar—they clear it every single day.

Because of their work ethic, our customers are incredibly lucky. When a client hires us, they aren't just getting a standard fix; they are getting the elite craftsmanship, problem-solving, and dedication that this team brings to every single job. Our customers get peace of mind because our technicians refuse to cut corners, and that is entirely a reflection of their character and pride in their craft.

Day in and day out, this team handles the pressure, solves the complex puzzles, and keeps everything running smoothly. I might set the expectations, but they are the ones putting in the sweat and delivering the results.

To our technicians: Thank you for constantly rising to the challenge, for putting up with my push for excellence, and for being the absolute backbone of this operation. Our customers are lucky to have you, and I am incredibly proud to work alongside you.

🚨 Tip Tuesday: Is the Late-Spring Weather Stressing Your AC? ⛈️🍂
Between the heavy downpours, high humidity, and falling twigs or branches we’ve been seeing lately, our outdoor HVAC units are taking a bit of a beating.
While these systems are built to handle the elements, recent storms and high moisture can impact their efficiency and longevity. Here are 3 quick things to check on your unit this week to keep it running smoothly:
1. Clear the Debris Runway: Heavy rain and winds love to knock down small branches, leaves, and pine needles. If these get trapped inside or around your outdoor condenser, they can restrict airflow, forcing your system to work twice as hard. Grab a pair of gloves and clear a 2-foot perimeter around your unit!
2. Check for "Storm Slap": Falling branches don’t just block airflow—they can bend the delicate aluminum fins on your outdoor unit or damage electrical components. If you notice heavy branch impact or bent fins, it’s worth having a professional take a look before it turns into a major breakdown.
3. Manage the Humidity Load: High outdoor humidity means your AC has to work overtime to pull moisture out of the air inside your home. If your house feels clammy or your system is constantly running short cycles, your indoor coil might be struggling to keep up with the extra workload.
Pro-Tip: Never try to power-wash your outdoor unit to clean out debris! The high pressure can permanently flatten the coil fins and trap heat inside your system. A gentle rinse with a standard garden hose is all it takes. 💦
Have you checked your outdoor unit after the recent storms? If something looks bent, clogged, or just isn't cooling right, drop us a comment or send a DM. We’re here to help keep you comfortable! 👇
