ADJUST YOUR THERMOSTAT
We all have temperature preferences and want to achieve maximum comfort when we’re at home. However, if you lower your thermostat just a couple of degrees during the winter and increase it just a couple of degrees during the summer, you can save energy and money each month.
This tiny step keeps your HVAC system from having to work so hard, so its life can also be extended this way. Imagine your car turning off and on 10-15 times every day within hours. This will cause quicker wear and tear.

HVAC systems typically last 10 to 15 years before kicking out. If your HVAC is reaching that point, the new year is the perfect time to consider upgrading it. As the seasons change it will eventually cause wear and tear on your system.
While new HVAC systems can be a little pricey, the benefits will be well worth it. A new HVAC will be more energy efficient, which can save you a lot of money on utility bills in the years to come.

ADD ZONING SYSTEMS
Adding these systems in our age of technology can help save money to your monthly expenditures.
It can be difficult to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home if it has multiple levels or closed-off rooms or even a 2 story home.

8 SIGNS YOU NEED TO CALL A PLUMBER
8. YOUR HOUSE SMELLS LIKE SEWAGE
Sometimes a backup or clog can create a smell that permeates through your home and makes it unbearable to stay in your space. Don’t try to power through the smell and tackle the problem, because this is a sign of major plumbing distress. You might end up making the problem worse, which means a stronger sewage smell that lasts longer.
There are many problems that may be causing a sewage smell in your home. Sometimes drainpipes aren’t properly ventilated, or they may clog over their lifetime. Damage to your property from storms or heavy rains may cause backups in your sewage systems and pumps. Clogs in a toilet or pipe may be out of reach or stronger than what a plunger can handle, so the backup is allowed to fester.
Whenever you smell that something is wrong, it’s time to call us Paramount Plumbing Hvac for a walk through and Quote.

7. YOUR TOILET KEEPS OVERFLOWING
Toilets overflowing are a part of life, especially when young kids are in the house. Sometimes these issues are easy to address and other times the root cause is hidden — like when your toilet overflows but isn’t visibly clogged. A toilet that’s constantly running can often be fixed by replacing the flapper — and that can save you money too.
If your toilet is overflowing, turn off your water. If possible, keep the water off and use other facilities until someone is able to check out the toilet for you. The water shutoff for most toilets is beneath the bowl at the back or on the left-hand side.
If your toilet started to flow immediately after a flush, you’re probably experiencing a blockage. Clogs in the toilet can be solved with a plunger more often than not because they dislodge whatever is stuck. If a few plunges don’t do the trick, stop and call Paramount Plumbing Hvac

6. YOUR FAUCETS WON’T STOP DRIPPING
If your shower is dripping only 10 times a minute, you’re paying for an additional 500 gallons of water each year.
Maybe you’ve been planning to fix that dripping sink as soon as you have the time. Before you know it, months pass and the problem persists. Sometimes a drip can be a quick fix with a little tightening, some plumbers’ tape or a new bracket, but that’s not always the case. A steady drip may come from a crack in a pipe or an element that’s installed incorrectly. Pressure buildups or other concerns may also play a role.
For these small issues, it’s wise to call a plumber when you can’t fix it or when you have a few things on your to-do list. Most plumbers work by the hour, so you can pack in the savings by presenting your plumber with a comprehensive set of problems. Having a plumber check your leaks also gives you an opportunity to ask questions or receive suggestions for upcoming remodeling and other projects.

5. YOUR DRAINS WON’T DRAIN
Clogs are common in plumbing, from tubs and toilets to faucets indoor and out. Some of these clogs can be undone with a plunger and a little muscle. But if you can’t unclog them after a little plunger work, or if there’s a clog that consistently backs up, you should call a plumber.
Plumbers can use special tools like cameras that can look deeper into pipes for something that may be causing a long-term problem. Hair, grease build-up, roots getting into underground systems and problems with your septic tank are a few possible issues.
Any repeat drain problem is worth a call because you might be facing a serious issue. Even if it’s something small — such as a tub that clogs each time you give your dog a bath – it can turn into a bigger concern if it happens repeatedly. You can perform remedies at home, but many times you’re simply delaying a problem or treating a symptom and allowing an underlying problem to fester.
