Help! My Boiler Is Leaking! – Here’s What to Do:

Your residential boiler is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home. And, therefore, it can cause chaos if it starts leaking! Here are some tips on what to do when a boiler leak strikes, from your plumbing wholesalers in NJ.

Step One: Take Safety Precautions

Switch off the water and power supply to your boiler. The boiler power supply switch will be labeled on your home’s main power board. If the power has already tripped in your home, do not turn it back on. Water and electricity make a lethal mix, and you don’t want to put your safety at risk.

Step Two: Finding the Source of the Leak

First, determine if the leak is coming from any of the three most common sources of a boiler leak:

1. The tank,
2. The drain valve at the base of the tank, and/or
3. The discharge tube from the pressure relief valve.

Step Three: Call in Local Emergency Plumbers

Find a 24/7 emergency plumber in your area and describe the leak to them. Depending on what area of your boiler is leaking, they may supply you with advice while you wait for them to arrive.

Step Four: Contain the Leak

Water damage can permanently damage your flooring, ceilings, and possessions, so try to limit this. Soak up water with old towels, place buckets under the leak and take other measures to remove the water quickly from your home. If your basement is flooding and you have a sump pump, turn it on.

Step Five: Get a Replacement Boiler and Parts from Plumbing Wholesalers

Plumbing wholesalers like our plumbing supply company offer the best possible prices on boiler replacement. Here, you’ll find boiler repair parts as well as residential boilers and commercial boilers, making boiler repair and boiler replacement easy and affordable.

What to do When Your Boiler Condensate Pipes Freeze

Harsh winter weather doesn’t just mean bundling on your winter jerseys and coats! It also means that your boiler has to operate faultlessly to meet your home’s heating requirements. One issue that may occur during the winter months is a frozen condensate pipe. Here’s how to spot this issue and resolve it, from your local wholesale supplier of boilers in NJ.

• What is Condensate?

Gas boilers are very efficient residential and commercial boilers. And, as a result of the combustion process, they produce some water vapor. As the water vapor cools, it becomes droplets of water that is commonly known as water condensate, which needs to be removed from the system. Usually, this is piped directly into a property’s internal drainage system. However, this isn’t possible in all buildings. So, sometimes it is installed externally. In these systems, the water vapor can freeze when outside temperatures drop, leading to frozen condensate pipes. When this occurs, your boiler may shut down, leaving you with no hot water.

• Unfreezing a Boiler Condensate Pipe

This can be done by pouring warm water over the part of your pipe that is outside your home or building to melt the frozen water within the pipe. The blockages will most likely be where there is a bend or horizontal part of the pipe, as it’s easiest for a buildup to occur in these parts of the pipework. You may have to repeat this a few times before you’ll see the ice run out. You can also use a hairdryer to warm the pipe.

After doing this, you’ll need to reset your boiler using the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Preventing Frozen Condensate Pipes

Again, there are several options. If you have a longer length of pipe, you can saw away the excess pipe (it is usually a PVC pipe) to just leave a few inches exposed. The pipe should also be angled down to ensure the condensate runs out as quickly as possible. This means the water can’t collect in the pipe and freeze easily. Just make sure it is not going to drip onto a window or any other structure that is vulnerable to water damage.

An alternative is to insulate the pipe itself. This will keep it at its regular length, which may be important in terms of directing the water away from a window or structure vulnerable to damage from moisture.

How to Get Your Home Heating System Ready for Winter

Weather and temperatures in the Northeast are difficult to predict in the Fall. So, it’s important to ensure your home heating system is ready for anything, whether we’re lucky this year and enjoy mild temperatures into October or a cold snap appears on our doorsteps next week. Here are some tips from Crosstown Plumbing, a leading plumbing supply company in NJ.

• Ensure Clear, Clean Airflow:

Air filters should be replaced or cleaned properly to remove the dirt, dust, mold spores, and pollen of the summer months. This will ensure that the air coming into your home is properly filtered so that it is fresh, clean, and free of allergens. Replacing your filters is especially important if you are in a new home and are unsure when the filters were last replaced, or if you haven’t done it yourself in the last few years. It’s an affordable and effective way of supporting respiratory health. In addition, it will not only keep your home smelling great through the winter, but it will also keep your home heating system running smoothly.

• Don’t Forget the Vents:

All the vents in your home will need to be removed and thoroughly cleaned to ensure good indoor air quality and efficient operation of your home heating system. Once the vents are removed, gently clean the inside of your ductwork with a vacuum cleaner, being careful not to damage the ductwork. This is also a good opportunity to check for any leaks or damage to your ductwork that may require repair.

• Clean the Outside Unit:

First, switch your unit off fully, then use a garden hose to gently rinse the unit and flush away any grass, leaves, and dirt that may have accumulated over the months. Clear away any shrubbery, grass or dirt from the area around the unit. Look for any damage to your unit that may have occurred over the last few months, like bent cooling find or leaks, and contact your local plumbing supply company for spares or the name of a trusted HVAC specialist.

The Benefits of Using High-Quality Plumbing Supplies

The old saying that “you get what you pay for” is especially true when it comes to plumbing supplies! Here’s why you should always choose quality over a bargain when it comes to tools, parts and replacement equipment for your home when you visit your local plumbing supply company.

Protect Your Home 

Choosing the right plumbing supplies is all about protecting your biggest investment – your home. Certain materials are more effective at doing a particular job than others, and buying inferior quality usually means that material is far more likely to deteriorate rapidly and fail quickly. For example, if you are replacing water pipes, a good quality pipe will last you many years or even decades, with daily use. A poor quality pipe, however, is likely to rupture under pressure, leak at the joins or wear out – springing a leak in your home that can damage your belongings and the structure of the building. In certain circumstances, using poor quality plumbing supplies can even put your safety at risk, for example, when installing a hot water heater.

Add Value to Your Home 

Great-quality plumbing supplies also enhance the value, functionality and aesthetics of your home. For example, putting cheap faucets and fixtures into your kitchen won’t look great, will tarnish or crack, and are far more likely to stop working than high-quality alternatives. This isn’t any fun to live with and it certainly won’t add value to your home if you intend to sell. It also doesn’t actually prove to be more affordable in the long-term, as you’ll have to purchase replacement parts more frequently.

Hot and Cold Spots in Your House? Here's What to Do

If your central air conditioner is running smoothly and your thermostat is programmed to a single temperature setting, then every room in your home should have the same, consistent air temperature. If this isn’t the case, then your unit may have an air balance problem. Here’s what our air conditioner specialists in New Jersey have to say on this common issue.

Test Your Air Temperature 

Using several indoor room thermometers, you can effectively and accurately measure the temperature in different rooms. On a fairly hot day – around 80 degrees or more – turn on your AC unit and let it run for 20-30 minutes. Then place a thermometer directly on a vent in each room for 5 minutes (while your AC is running) and record the results, and repeat this process with the return vents.

Ideally, the temperature recorded at the vent that pushes the cold air into the room should be 15-20 degrees cooler than the temperature reading for the return vents. If this isn’t the case, you likely have a problem with your ductwork, like a leak or blockage. On occasion, this can also be due to a poor installation job where duct joints have come loose, or where the ductwork that has been installed is too long or incorrectly sized for the unit and the property.

This is likely to cause some rooms to be warmer than they should be, as the flow of cool air is being disrupted. It may also cause some rooms to be colder than expected as the AC unit works harder and harder to pump out colder air to lower the temperature in rooms where the ductwork is blocked. This often results in higher than usual energy bills, so be sure to check those too.

A Guide to Smart HVAC Control Systems

What is a Smart HVAC Control System? Technology is evolving at a rapid pace, becoming smarter and more integrated with our daily lives. This means that we can tailor things like home heating and cooling to our exact preferences and have greater control over our home environment to maximize savings. Here are some insights into smart HVAC control systems and their benefits.

This is a piece of home automation technology that allows you greater control over your home’s temperature and environment that can (depending on the unit) be tracked and adjusted via an app. With these systems, you can:

• Measure individual room temperature
• Utilize motion sensors to see if a room is occupied
• Detect faults in the system and pinpoint repairs
• Use smart vents to control airflow and adjust temperatures in individual rooms
• Link up with your smart programmable thermostat for greater control and monitoring
• Access analytics to track usage and suggest improvements

These control systems are ideal for new HVAC systems that are designed to be fully automated and adaptable, but they can often be installed to work with existing HVAC systems although the capabilities may then be limited.

Benefits of a Smart HVAC Control System 

Essentially, as long as you have internet access, you can control almost every detail of your home’s climate – whether you’re on the couch, at work or halfway around the world. These systems can learn your family preferences and automatically adjust to match your habits, they can automatically adjust themselves to priorities energy savings or identify areas of waste/improvement. They can also be integrated into other smart home systems like lighting, security, appliances and entertainment systems.

HVAC Systems and Air Conditioning Systems in New Jersey 

At Crosstown Plumbing Supply, we have a wide range of high-efficiency air conditioning systems, HVAC systems, dehumidifiers and ductless air conditioning systems that offer exceptional temperature control and air quality while using minimal energy. We can also put you in touch with reputable local specialists to assist with HVAC repair or air conditioner installation.

What is the Ideal Temperature For Your Air Conditioning This Summer?

The Best Temperature for Energy Savings Comfort is not the only factor to consider when setting your air conditioning system’s temperature during the hottest summer months – there’s the cost of your energy bill too. Here are some insights into the best setting for your air conditioning or HVAC system for the summer months.

According to energy.gov, the optimal setting to ensure comfort and energy savings is 78 degrees. By changing your thermostat by just 7-10 degrees for 8 hours a day, you can save an incredible 10% of your energy bill each year.

Here’s how to get the most savings using a programmable thermostat.

• Se your thermostat to a warmer temperature for the hours that you are away at work, having it start to cool your home in the hour before you arrive back.
• Don’t set your thermostat to a temperature that is lower than where you want it to be. This won’t cool your home any faster and it puts a lot of extra pressure on your air conditioning system, which causes your energy bill to rocket up and your unit to wear down more rapidly.
• Try to set your thermostat to a temperature that is closer to the outdoor temperature. It sounds counterintuitive, but it works! This is because this actually slows the flow of heat into your home, saving energy and making it cooler. If your system includes a dehumidifier, this helps even more as less humidity in the home makes it feel cooler and more comfortable even if the temperature isn’t too different from the outdoor environment.
• Install your thermostat correctly. The location of your thermostat is very important, as this can trigger inaccurate temperature or “ghost” readings as well as unnecessary air conditioning system or HVAC system cycling. It should be on an interior wall, out of direct sunlight (from windows as well as skylights) and drafts, with no furniture blocking it.

Why is My Air Conditioning System Not Cooling My Home?

 If you notice that your air conditioning system in New Jersey is blowing warm or tepid air instead of cooling your home, then these are the most likely causes according to our plumbing supply company.

• Dirty or old air filter – Air filters clear the incoming air of dust, pollen and dirt before it enters the air conditioning system. When this dirt builds up, the system will struggle to circulate enough cool air to lower the temperature, and may even freeze the evaporator coil, preventing you from getting any cool air at all. Check your air filter and if it looks dirty, it’s time to replace it.

• Low refrigerant – Refrigerant levels will get lower over time or if a leak occurs. This liquid absorbs the heat from the air, so if it’s too low, your air conditioner won’t be able to effectively remove heat from your home. You may have a leak if there is ice build-up on the refrigerant line or outside unit, if you can hear a hissing or bubbling noise when the system is on, or if your system only seems to work on cool days/nights.

• Dirty AC unit – The AC unit outside your home is the condenser, which works to remove heat from the air in your home. Because it’s outside, it can get pretty dirty, clogged up with leaves, or even become a home for pests. For it to work properly, it needs to be cleaned with a gentle spray of water from your hose. The area around the unit should be kept clear of weeds, dust and leaves, too.

• Broken condenser fan – This is the fan inside your air conditioning system’s outdoor unit and is responsible for moving air through the system and pushing heat out of your home. If this is broken or faulty, the unit won’t work properly because air flow is compromised.

These are the Most Popular Kitchen Countertops - and it's Not Hard to See Why!

Remodeling your kitchen? The kitchen countertops you choose will need to be durable and practical as well as attractive if you want to add value to your home. Here are the most popular kitchen countertops you can buy – and why they’re great.

Granite – Natural stone used to be found only in the most expensive and exclusive homes, but it’s such a great product that it’s become more affordable and more available over the years. Granite is very hardwearing as well as heat and stain resistant, coming in a wide range of colors including mottled white, deep black, reds, greens, greys and browns, all with naturally-occurring variegation. The most affordable granite is found off the high street at plumbing wholesalers.

Solid surface – This is a man-made countertop that’s created from acrylic or polyester, or a combination of both, and can include chips of natural stone. It’s stain and heat resistant, and small scratches can be easily buffed out, while any deeper damage can be filled, keeping them looking brand new. These countertops can come in any color or texture imaginable, including natural stone and a glamorous glitter effect.

Laminate – Laminate countertops have come a long way since their invention in the 1950s! New technology has made this product more beautiful and more durable than ever before, and it’s also the most affordable countertop option you can get. It’s made out of thin layers of MDF that is soaked in resin to make it hard enough to use in kitchens. It’s not as stain or heat resistant as the other countertops, and it can be cut by knives, but it will last decades if cared for properly. It’s also easy to install and many people use it for DIY kitchen projects.

Kitchen Countertops at Wholesale Prices 
In addition to our affordable kitchen countertops and fittings, our sales staff are fully trained to assist you with your kitchen remodel itself and, when you purchase any kitchen cabinets or kitchen countertops from us, we will come through to your home to measure and design your kitchen for free.

Ductless Air Conditioning and Mini Splits vs. Central Air Conditioning

 A new air conditioning system is a significant investment, so it’s important that you as a homeowner has the information required to select the ideal system for your needs. Our HVAC system team in New Jersey shares some important factors to consider to help narrow down your options.

• If you have existing ductwork or not: Installing or removing ductwork is a big project, so it usually makes sense for homeowners to choose central air conditioner systems if it’s already installed in your home. If you don’t have ductwork, this means that central air conditioner prices will be very high for your home – not to mention the mess and inconvenience of the installation process.
• The size of your home: The bigger your home is, the more powerful your air conditioning system needs to be. The general rule is that central air is the most energy-efficient and the most affordable option if you want to cool a home that is larger than 2,000 square feet. If you only want to cool selected areas or your home is smaller than 2,000 square feet, you can usually consider ductless options.
• The aesthetics of your home: If your home’s style is very important to you, then this can be a deal-breaker when selecting an air conditioning system. Central air conditioning systems aren’t visible at all inside a home, but ductless systems require ceiling vents or internal wall units.
• Your budget: This is one of the most important factors to consider. Generally speaking, ductless air conditioning units are likely to cost a couple of thousand dollars per unit (keeping in mind that you will likely need more than one unit unless you only want cooling in a single room). Central air systems are usually more expensive, especially if you don’t already have ducting in place, and the bigger your home, the more expensive they get.

How to Build an Outdoor Shower for your Backyard

 Summer is on its way and one of the biggest trends for backyards is the outdoor shower. It’s a great way to enjoy nature, as well as a practical way to wash off boots, pets, or sand after a day in the yard or at the beach. Here are some insights on how to build your own outdoor shower from the specialists in plumbing supplies in New Jersey.

• Location: Position your shower where it will have easy access to existing hot and cold water pipes. This makes installation easier and less expensive. Alternatively, position it with easy access to an existing outdoor water source (for example, your garden hose spigot) if you want a more basic shower system.
• Privacy: Stand in the spot you’ve selected and consider what you’d need to make the space private. The idea is to be as outdoors as possible but still keep a decent amount of privacy. Some ideas include freestanding folding screens, shrubbery, partial walls or winged walls.
• Drainage: The simplest solution is to ensure the water drains into your yard, making your shower eco-friendly. This means making sure that the base of the shower is slightly tilted away from your home, preventing water damage to your walls and foundation, and directing the water onto plants.
• Accessories: An outdoor shower isn’t just functional, it’s an experience! Opt for a large, rainfall-type showerhead, encourage flowering plants to grow next to your shower, and use plenty of natural, rustic materials like rock and wood. Another good idea is some practical storage space – a spot to place your shampoo and toiletries, hang a towel or some dry clothes.

Can You Benefit from a Dehumidifier?

Humidity makes you feel hot and uncomfortable: That awful sticky, sweaty feeling you get in the summer months even on a cooler day? That’s humidity. Very humid air can make you feel 3-18 degrees hotter (50% – 80% humidity), which is bad for comfort and productivity.A dehumidifier is a device that sucks in air from its environment, removes excess water and then circulates the dryer air. So, what are the benefits of having less humid air in your home? Find out from our dehumidifier team in New Jersey.

• Humidity can damage your home: Excess water is bad for your home and your belongings. It can make paint peel, wood start to warp, corrode metal and even cause photographs to fade.
• Humidity is a home for mold and bacteria: Homes with excess humidity are the perfect environment for mold, dust mites and bacteria growth, which are dangerous to your health and can damage your belongings, including furniture, carpets and clothing. Humidity levels need to be kept below 50% to keep them away.

The ideal level of humidity in your home should be around 45% and, while air conditioning systems do remove some water from the air, they are designed for cooling and air circulation rather than removing moisture.

Signs that your home’s humidity levels are too high include musty smells and mold spots, condensation beading on your windows, rotting wooden window frames, and poor home air quality. This is especially noticeable if you experience allergy symptoms in your home.

A Guide to Energy Upgrades in the Home

It’s not hard to see why New Jersey homeowners are increasingly investing in energy upgrades for their properties. Not only are they great for the environment, they’re an effective way to reduce your monthly utility bills – and they’ll pay for themselves in just a few years. From high-efficiency air conditioning systems to insulation and more, these are the best upgrades to improve your home’s efficiency.

• High-efficiency air conditioning systems: Cooling is one of the biggest expenses for our homes and, thanks to advancements in technology, units that are 10 years old or more are incredibly inefficient compared to modern standards. You can also pair them with a programmable thermostat so you can get the exact climate you want at minimal cost. These thermostats can automatically adjust temperature for unused rooms and even turn off when no one is home, saving homeowners around $150 per year.

• Improve your lighting: Modern LED bulbs last longer and use one-tenth less electricity than traditional bulbs, and it’s pretty inexpensive to make this upgrade especially when you realize that 10% of your energy bill is lighting. Solar lighting is great for security and outdoor lights, and many come with adjustable modes and motion sensors.

• Insulate everything: Insulation ensures that your desired climate stays inside your home, rather than constantly leaking out and making your heating and cooling systems draw even more power to keep up. There are great insulation products – even eco-friendly ones – that you can quickly install in critical areas like your attic. Another good idea is to ensure your doors and windows are properly sealed with weather stripping or caulking or replacing your front door.

• Install low-flow showerheads: These can help you use up to 75% less water per shower while preserving the pressure to deliver a consistent rate of water. They can save you up to $145 per year.

Tips For Hiring A Great Plumber For Your Home Improvement Project

Home improvements and remodeling are costly projects for homeowners and keeping within a budget is a priority. When hiring contractors, it’s often more expensive to hire the cheapest option as you likely have to spend even more correcting mistakes. This makes it essential to hire the right person when you need professional help. Here are some great hiring tips for when you need a plumber.

• Only hire licensed plumbers: Always ensure that your plumber is licensed to do the work you need done in the state where you’re living. You can ask the contractor directly, but it’s also a good idea to do a quick search online for their credentials.
• Get word-of-mouth recommendations: If a contractor sounds great to you, ask to speak to previous clients to see what they had to say about the work they had done on their properties. Alternatively, speak to a local plumbing supply company for recommendations, as they’ll have a network of contacts in the area.
• Get multiple estimates: You don’t have to go crazy here, but it’s important to get at least 3 estimates for the work you need done. Unless you’re in the industry, chances are that you don’t have a good idea of what the work should cost – this will give you a much better idea of how to budget for the work and who offers the most reasonable rates.
• Ask about guarantees:Your plumber should be bonded and insured within the state where the work is being done, as this protects you in the event of the work not being completed for any reason. Your contractor’s work and the materials used should also come with a reasonable guarantee in the event of any issues down the line. A lack of warranty could be an indicator that they use poor quality materials or don’t have confidence in the quality of their work.

NEED INSPIRATION? HERE ARE THE TOP KITCHEN REMODELING TRENDS FOR 2019

Looking to create a kitchen with a bit of wow-factor? Whether you love to cook, entertain or simply have a great-looking space that adds value to your home, it’s a great idea to take a look at the latest trends for inspiration before you start your remodel. Here are some of the best kitchen trends for 2019.

• Concealed storage: Clean, crisp designs are a firm favorite this year, and cleverly concealed storage is a big part of achieving this look. Think seamless kitchen cabinets with pressure-touch doors, hidden appliances and minimalist design.
• Industrial finishes: This look is fantastic for the kitchen, giving it plenty of durability and easy maintenance in addition to great style. These designs incorporate concrete finishes, brushed brass or pewter fixtures, blending natural wood with concrete, stone or steel countertops, and naked or industrial lighting.
• Custom tiles: Instead of adding a pop of color or design with paint, add it with tiles! Backsplashes of subway tiles, hand-painted Mexican-inspired tiles or unusual shape tiles are all in fashion. Because of their versatility, you’re sure to find a design, texture or pattern that suits your taste.
• Two-toned: This trend has been around for a while but it’s staying strong in 2019. Simply choose two different colors for your kitchen cabinets and add it into your design! Some ideas include having a light color for above-counter cabinets and a dramatic dark option for ground-level cabinets, highlighting specialty cabinets or having a contrasting kitchen island.
• Open shelving: Don’t like the concealed storage option? Well, the exact opposite is on-trend too! Open shelving, whether it’s a minimalist Swedish design, a country farmhouse look or even an industrially-inspired installation, looks fantastic in any kitchen. It’s a great way to showcase beautiful dishes and glassware and make your everyday items easy to access.
