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.
