How to save on home repairs, maintenance and remodeling

As any New Jersey homeowner knows, there’s always a job to be done. Whether you’re repairing and clearing gutters after a storm, repainting your walls or upgrading your kitchen, there’s always a lot to do and often not enough money to do it with. Here are some great ideas for maintaining and improving your home on a budget.

• Repair in the off-season: As soon as summer arrives, demand for air conditioners and related services skyrocket – and often, so do the prices. If you want to upgrade to an energy efficient central or ductless air conditioner, do it in winter. You’ll find that there will be some great specials and you’ll get it installed in a fraction of the time.
• Repair rather than replace: If replacing something isn’t essential, then repairing it is the more cost-effective option. Plumbing supply wholesalers can advise you on the different parts you’ll need for fixing up everything from your furnace and air conditioner to your leaky faucets. Even kitchen and bathroom cabinets can be repaired and repainted to look at good as new!
• Purchase materials separately to labor: When you need a new boiler, for example, your plumber will be able to get one for you – but it is part of his business to make a profit off of that sale. If you visit a plumbing supply company, you can buy your new boiler at a low wholesale price and have it delivered directly to your home for your plumber to install.
• Visit your local plumbing wholesaler: So your plumbing wholesaler can get you affordable boilers, furnaces and air conditioning units along with plumbing parts and tools – but did you know that they can help remodel your bathroom or kitchen as well? Crosstown Plumbing Supply has a wide range of top quality kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, bathroom sinks, taps and accessories as well as granite counters. By cutting out the middleman and the high street showrooms, you’ll save significantly on your remodel.

Spring clean your air conditioner today

Spring is here and soon we’ll all be cranking up our air conditioning systems to beat the heat of the summer – which means now is the perfect time to have your air conditioner serviced and cleaned out. Not only will you beat the rush, you also won’t have to break out a sweat!

Common signs that your air conditioning system needs servicing

• It won’t turn on: This could be down to anything from it needing simple repairs to needing complete replacement, but don’t rush out and buy new just yet. First, check the power connections and fuses. If they are in good working order, contact an air conditioning repair service for some practical expertise.
• The circuit breaker trips: There could be an electrical issue inside the unit that causes this to happen or it could be that your home electrical system isn’t handling the power surge. Whatever the reason, professional assistance will be the fastest, safest and most affordable route to take.
• It’s noisy: Modern air conditioners are very quiet, so if yours is making a noise – or more noise than usual – it’s time to call out for some professional help. Be sure not to use the machine until a repair service has checked it out, as it could make the problem worse.
• Your energy bill is climbing: Air conditioners that don’t get regularly serviced loose their energy efficiency – costing you some serious money. With an affordable annual service, your machine will be back up and running without blowing your budget.
