Great deals on commercial and residential boilers right through winter

As any New Jersey home or business owner knows, the worst time to be without a boiler is in the icy cold of winter. Luckily, that doesn’t mean you have to pay a premium for a replacement unit. At Crosstown Plumbing Supply, we have specials on a wide range of boilers through the winter season.

High-efficiency boilers on sale now 
An old or inefficient boiler is costing you money – whether in repairs, your energy bill or both. Boiler energy use is measured as AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency), the measurement of the unit’s heat output in relation to the total energy it consumes in a year. So, a 50% AFUE means t only half of the energy it is using is being turned into useful heat.
New, high-efficiency boilers can deliver a 95% AFUE, reducing your home’s annual carbon dioxide emissions by 1.5 tons or more and reduce your energy bill by 16% or more. They can also help you qualify for New Jersey’s clean energy program, which includes great rebates and incentives for upgrading your boiler.

Specials on gas and electric boilers 
Whatever your boiler preference, our specialists will have a heating system which suits you. We can offer you gas, steam, electric and high efficiency boilers, as well as cast iron boilers, steel boilers and hot water heaters in a range of sizes for both commercial and residential use – all at budget-friendly wholesale prices. Customers can also benefit from our 3.5% NJ sales tax, making your boiler replacement more affordable.

Our essential home maintenance tips for furnaces

Furnace maintenance is essential for property owners, whether you happy to tackle it yourself the DIY way or call out plumbing repair specialists to perform a regular service. Here are some great tips for homeowners on keeping your furnace in perfect working order:

DIY furnace maintenance 

The first step to any DIY project is ensuring your safety. Switch your furnace off completely before attempting any maintenance. If you have a gas furnace and you can smell gas in your home, do not try to fix it – rather, leave your home immediately (leaving the door open) and report it to the gas company or fire department.
  • Regularly examine your furnace and heating system for signs of leaks, wear-and-tear, stains and corrosion.
  • Clear away debris which collects around the furnace – dust, rags, paint, drain cleaner and chemicals are all potential fire hazards.
  • Clean the blower assembly, pulleys and belts with a damp cloth to remove any dust the filters didn’t catch.
  • Clean filters at least twice during the winter season and replace any filters that are looking worn or damaged.
  • Check warm air outlets to ensure they are clear of debris and that the air can circulate into the room easily.
  • Check the system’s air supply to ensure it is clear and isn’t blocked or obstructed by any structures, debris or household items.

Professional furnace repair 

Even the best maintained furnaces can require more complicated repairs or servicing, so it’s a good idea to call in the professionals once a year before the seasonal rush. They can assist you with:
  • Fixing or replacing loose ductwork.
  • Lubricating blower motor bearings.
  • Thoroughly cleaning the system.
  • Repairing improperly firing burners.
  • Unblocking the condensate drain.
  • Repairing or replacing a broken thermostat.
