Help! I Have No Hot Water!

There are few things that are worse than getting ready for your day and realizing that your home or business suddenly has no hot water. Here are common reasons why your boiler or hot water heating system may fail and what to do about it, from the specialists in boilers in NJ.

• Check your water supply: Your boiler or hot water heater may have switched off or stopped working because your water supply has stopped. Check to see that your energy supply is still functioning and that your property isn’t experiencing a water cut-off. A power cut can also affect your electric hot water heater, causing it to revert to factory settings. Your manual should include instructions on how to re-program it in this event.
• Frozen pipes: A very cold snap can cause severe problems for boilers and hot water heaters, compromising the water supply. Frozen pipes will need to be thawed, repaired (if needed) and properly insulated to prevent the same issue in future.
• Airlocks: Airlocks occur when air becomes trapped inside the water pipe, often due to damage or repairs on the pipe. If the air collects in a high point of the pipe, it can completely block water flow and will have to be cleared by professionals.
• Leaking or damaged boiler or hot water heater: There are many reasons a hot water tank or boiler can burst – often, it is just a result of old age – but this issue requires quick, professional intervention. Often, tanks and boilers have sensors that shut down the system for safety reasons. First, shut off your water supply and the energy supply to the tank at the main fuse board. Never touch any wires, the gas supply or the tank itself, and don’t step into the spilled water. Then, call in the professionals to evaluate and repair the problem.

How To Prepare Your Home For The Winter Chill

Homes across New Jersey are getting ready for the winter months, transforming into cozy, warm spaces where we can escape the chilly weather. Here are some tips from our home heating system specialists on preparing your home.

• Deal with leaks and drafts: Heating a home takes time, money and energy – so the last thing you want is for all that warm air to go to waste. Check your home’s doors and windows as well as vents, electrical/gas lines and plumbing for gaps where warm air could leak out of your home or cold air can get in. Often, it as simple as applying weather stripping or spray foam insulation, but professionals are available to assist with more complex jobs like inspecting and sealing ductwork.
• Check your insulation: Homes with poor insulation will be a challenge to keep warm even with a powerful heating system – and your bills will skyrocket too. Have your home’s insulation inspected (especially the attic, exterior walls and basement) and ensure that it is up to recommended standards.
• Clear the gutters: Leaves and other debris quickly clog up gutters in the fall and early winter months, blocking one of your home’s most important drainage systems. When gutters clog, rain and snowmelt can start seeping into your home’s walls, siding and foundation, causing moisture leaks, damp, mold and structural damage.
• Clean or replace air filters: Air filters capture debris and dirt to prevent it from entering your home or damaging your system. As the filters clog up, it becomes more difficult to supply your home with warm air, so your system can wear or break – and heating costs can rise. Replacing or cleaning these filters is a simple job and instructions should be with your system’s manual.
