Understanding Different Types of Furnaces

2/20/2020

What if your old home furnace breaks down? You will surely be confused as to how you will heat your home henceforth. You can contact the best HVAC professional in your vicinity to know about which new home furnace is most suitable for your home. With the varied sizes that furnaces are available nowadays, they will definitely not bother you in terms of compact spaces. Moreover, furnaces are considered the most viable option for heating and one of the main components of your HVAC system. Since furnaces are available in different types, we are here to give you a deeper understanding of the main home furnace types available to you.

Gas Furnace

Gas furnaces are highly economical and also readily available due to the high availability of gas in the region. A gas furnace usually makes use of natural gas, Liquified Petroleum Gas, propane, butane or a mixture of propane-butane, whatever is available in the particular region. The gas blows through the ducts, with the help of fans and makes your homes warm. Gas furnaces create even heating throughout your entire homes, which is one of the significant reasons why it is preferred the most.

Oil Furnace

Oil furnaces are less efficient, having low AFUE rating compared to gas furnaces. However, if you require a home furnace at relatively cheaper rates, you can surely choose oil furnaces for your HVAC needs. Oil furnace converts the oil into heat, and then the heat is distributed in your home. Since oil furnace involves the conversion of oil into heat, oil furnaces are built differently. They are built with heavy and thicker steel since the conversion of oil to heat requires a specialized burner.

Electric Furnace

Electric furnaces are remarkably cheaper compared to any other furnace when purchasing upfront. However, people only choose electric furnaces if gas lines or oil furnace availability lacks in their vicinity. These furnaces use wire coils for the heating process. People want electric furnaces, also because they are incredibly compact, making them easy to fit them anywhere. But, at the same time, electric furnaces incur high costs on your electric bills due to the considerable usage of electricity to power the furnace.

Modulating Furnace

A modulating furnace is costly as compared to any other furnace listed above. However, the benefits that they showcase are quite capable of convincing you to have them installed. Modulating furnace adjusts the amount of heat produced inside the home, based on the thermostat’s temperature. Modulating furnace will provide you with the required warm comfort; however, the little noise that it continues to make due to frequent usage might disrupt your peace.
​
If you need suggestions on what furnace will complement and suit your home the best or need help with installing new furnaces, 24 Hour Plumbing Heating is equipped with the best HVAC professionals. In case your existing furnace needs repair, we have the right resource and expertise to get them in working condition.

5 Tips for Replacing Showerheads

2/4/2020

Who does not like taking a good shower after a very long day? But when our showerhead becomes inoperational, we tend to get irritated. This is because now the fun that was related to taking a shower, the songs that we’d be singing to ourselves, the arguments we’d be winning while doing so would be missing. So whenever such a thing happens, usually people are quick to reach out to the local plumbers to solve the problem of having faulty showerheads connected to the water heaters. But did you know that you too can fix the showerheads all by yourself? If not, here are some tips that can come in handy the next time you wish to fix a showerhead.

1) Remove the Current Showerhead

When you are on to changing the dysfunctional showerhead, you first need to remove that showerhead in particular because it can lead to damaging your home’s plumbing. To remove the showerhead, you need to first unscrew it by your hands. If you are unable to do so, then try using a proper set of channel locks. When you fix the channel locks, you can quite easily remove the showerhead.

2) Clean Off the Threads

When you remove the showerhead, it is imperative that you clean the threads of the shower. This is because over time, the shower threading may have caught rust. So to avoid having your new showerhead becoming dysfunctional, you really need to clean it properly and cover the threads with a Teflon tape in a clockwise manner so as to cover the entire threading. 

3) Bring in the New Showerhead

Now that you are done with the removal of the old showerhead and cleaning and taping of the threads, it is now that you bring in the new showerhead. Now, fix the showerhead on the base of the pipe. Now that you have attached the showerhead, hold the end part of the showerhead with a cloth. Now while holding the head, turn it clockwise to fix the showerhead to its base.

4) Turn the Shower On

Now that you have fixed the showerhead to its original position, it is necessary that you check if it’s functional or not. To do so, start the shower. Now that you have started the shower, you will understand whether there are any leakages in your shower or not.
 
5) Don’t Try Fixing If You Don’t Understand It

Often, people try to become enthusiastic and eventually make a mess out of the situation. So if you are unable to take fix your shower, it is always advisable that you get in touch with properly trained and professional plumbers in your area. 
​
Getting in touch with professional plumbers is always preferred as they are aware of what they need to do and can do the same task in much less time as compared to you.
