It's Time for A New Air Conditioning System

It is no secret that summers in Virginia can extremely hot and humid. In an effort to beat the heat, homeowners depend heavily on their air conditioning system for cooling comfort. Are you unsure if you need a new air conditioning system? Here are some key points to take into account: 

Age Is Not Just A Number
Air conditioners tend to deteriorate with time. Over the years, your air conditioner gradually becomes less energy efficient. In fact, new air conditioners will be approximately 30% more energy efficient than an old one. If your air conditioner is 10 years or older, it is time for a new unit.

Break the Mold
Mold and mildew thrive in humidity and warm temperatures. During the summer months, it is extremely important for homeowners to be wary of mold and mildew in their homes; as it can be harmful to your health. If your air conditioning system is not working properly, mold spores can spread and wreak havoc on your home.

Foot the Bill
Are your energy bills extremely high? An older air conditioner will use more power and energy to cool your house. A high energy bill could be an indication that your air conditioner is not working the way it used to.  

If your current air conditioning system isn't working properly, it's time to contact Blue Mountain for a new system. We can help you find the right make and model that will effectively cool your home. A new air conditioning system is also bound to be more energy efficient than an older model. If you want to chill out this summer, give us a call at 877-280-5777.

Pure H20

Water is the essence of all life. Everyone should have access to clean water. In the United States, it is not a big concern because it is assumed that our drinking water is safe. Since our drinking water looks and tastes great, people do not question it. However, there is more than meets the eye. In fact, most water treatment plants add fluoride to water. If you are not using some sort of water purification system, there is a greater chance that your water is not as pure as it could and should be. At Blue Mountain, our number one concern is the safety and health of our customers. When it comes to the water in your home--the water you use to drink; we believe it should be the best quality available. We can help you improve the quality of your water by installing a water purification system that best suits your home and lifestyle. 

Here at Blue Mountain, we have water softeners, water conditioners, whole house filtration and drinking water systems to purify your water. Our expert plumbers can help you decipher which option would be the most functional for your particular home. Regardless of which one you choose, you and your family will reap the benefits of a water purification system. First off, you will have soft water, not hard water. Hard water has a high concentration of minerals. Over time, a buildup of minerals can reek havoc on your pipes and plumbing system as a whole. Therefore, it is not surprising that water purification systems help decrease the amount and severity of plumbing problems. Purified water is healthier than bottled or tap water. Better drinking water will improve your overall health and well-being. Since we have so many water treatment options, there is something for everyone.  If you want to avoid plumbing issues in the future and healthier drinking water in your home, contact us today!

Imagine a day at the beach, followed by bike riding and then getting your drains cleaned. Clearly, one of these things is not like the others. However, having your drains cleaned should be as important as a trip to the beach during the summertime. If you have a summer to-do list, make sure a drain cleaning is at the top. Since the summers in Virginia can be extremely hot, it is no surprise that people end up utilizing their plumbing system more than usual. Additional usage of your plumbing system can lead to an increased risk of having complications. 

At the first sign of a problem with your drain system, you might see it as a new "DIY" project. However, if you are not particularly handy, you may want to put down the drain cleaner and step away from the plumbing snake. In fact, starting a DIY project could cause further damage, and then you'll really need our help. If you are experiencing any problems with your plumbing system, big or small, it is best to give us a call. We'll eliminate the guesswork and get the job done right the first time. We will be able to determine what is clogging your drain, so you can take precautionary steps to prevent it in the future. Some projects, like drain cleanings, should always be left to the professionals. Leave all the work to us. After all, it's summertime and the living should be easy!
