Electrical Repairs Done To Code

posted by

One of the most important things to get done to code is your home or business’ electrical repair.  People often forget that a live electrical outlet is a very dangerous thing. The power source that comes into your home needs to be controlled at all times.  If not, the results can be catastrophic to your family’s health and well being.  The codes and guidelines that are established are to prevent accidents from happening.  That is why it is imperative that a Master Electrical Technician makes the electrical repairs and installations you may have.

Cutting corners (and costs) is NOT a chance you should be willing to take.  Licensed, trained and knowledgeable electricians are the ONLY people that know and understand what needs to be done.  Remember, a spark from an outlet can short out your entire electric panel and worse yet, it can cause a fire! Following the safety codes developed and enforced will ensure that your repairs and installations work at their optimal levels and more importantly function safely.

Getting a job dine correctly and safely the FIRST TIME will be more cost effective in the long run and provide you with the peace of mind that you are safe.

Servicing Your Air Conditioner

posted by

With the summer heat in full effect, your Air Conditioner is working hard all day to keep you cool.  That is why it is important to make sure the unit is in good working condition so it works properly and does not break down when you need it most.

This is where the importance of maintaining your AC unit becomes so important in the life cycle of your air conditioning unit.  Small things, like changing the filter, keeping the motor clean, ensuring their is enough fluids (freon) in the unit and maintaining a service contract will go a very long way in keeping you cool during the hot summer months.  It will be bad enough not to have your AC unit working during the hot summer months, but having to get your unit repaired during these times is even worse.  The added pressure of scheduling and selecting a reputable HVAC Technician to service your broken unit can really become a tasking experience.

We, at Power Plus Services are here to help.  We can service your AC Unit in the off months so that when the time comes for you to use your Air Conditioner, you can rest assured that it will work and keep you and your family cool.

Remember, we can install, repair and maintain your AC unit.

Breathing Easier Filtering the indoor air

posted by

If the forced-air system in your home is equipped with inexpensive fiberglass filters, you should upgrade them to high-efficiency media filters. Standard room air conditioners usually do a pretty good job of filtering pollen, ragweed and spores if you keep the coils on the unit clean and replace the filters as frequently as indicated by the manufacturer.

Adding an air cleaner. If cleaning, ventilation and routine filter maintenance on existing systems don’t provide relief, consider an air cleaner. There are three types: media, electrostatic and hybrids. Media filters use physical barriers (media) and coatings to trap particles. The finer the media and the greater the surface area, the better it is at trapping small particles. Electrostatic filters use charged plates that create an electrical field to trap particles. Hybrid filters use a combination of these technologies. Ion generators are in a category of their own and should be avoided.

Filter facts. Although a new federal system for testing the efficiency of air filters will be finalized sometime this autumn, many manufacturers are already using it. These Minimum Efficiency Reporting Values (MERV) test how well filters remove small particles from the air; the higher the MERV number, the more efficient the filter. “This rating is really useful for comparing medium- and high-efficiency filters,” says H.E. Barney Burroughs, chairman of the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers committee on the new standard. “The rating tells people what the difference is between filters, and takes away a lot of the smoke and mirrors of the manufacturer’s claims.”

Most of these more efficient filters can be used on any forced-air system, but may require some retrofitting. Have your heating and cooling contractor make sure the new filter won’t reduce airflow to a dangerous level. You won’t be as comfortable, and you could overtax the system. This potential airflow reduction, called pressure drop, should be considered when the filter is new (initial pressure drop) and when it’s full (final pressure drop).

It’s uncomfortable and even dangerous to live in a house where the air either makes you sick or aggravates allergies and asthma. But with a few simple steps you may be able to cut down on the irritants in your home—and breathe a sigh of relief

Indoor air hazards you should know about

posted by

If you’re like most Americans, you spend much of your time indoors. Have you ever stopped to think about whether the air you’re breathing at home is healthy? When you’re at home do you frequently have headaches or feel nauseous or tired? Do you feel better when you leave the house? If you have these symptoms, your home’s air quality may be the problem.

Moisture and biological (like molds, mildew and dust mites).
Sources include excessive humidity levels, poorly-maintained humidifiers and air-conditioners, inadequate ventilation and animal dander.

Combustion products including carbon monoxide.
Sources include unvented fossil-fuel space heaters, unvented gas stoves and ovens, and “backdrafting” from furnaces and water heaters.

Formaldehyde.
Sources include durable press drapes and other textiles, particle-board products such as cabinets and furniture framing, and adhesives.

Radon. This is a radioactive gas from soil and rock beneath and around the foundation, ground water wells and some building materials.

Household products and furnishings. These include volatile organic compounds from paints, solvents, air fresheners, hobby supplies, dry cleaned clothing, aerosol sprays, adhesives and fabric additives used in carpeting and furniture.

Asbestos. Most homes more than 20 years old are likely to have asbestos. Sources include deteriorating, damaged or disturbed pipe insulation, fireproofing or acoustical material and floor tiles.

Lead. Sources include lead-based paint dust from removing paint by sanding, scraping and burning.

Particulates. Sources include particles from fireplaces, woodstoves, kerosene heaters, unvented gas space heaters, tobacco smoke, dust and pollen.

Environmental tobacco smoke. A mixture of smoke given off by the burning end of a cigarette, pipe or cigar, and the smoke exhaled from the lungs of smokers.

Remodeling byproducts. Remodeling can provide the disturbance that releases such materials as asbestos, lead, formaldehyde and other hazardous materials.
