Your Guide to Plumbing and HVAC Excellence

Living in Florida’s humid climate presents unique challenges for your home’s plumbing and HVAC systems. Here are vital tips from Aqua Plumbing & Air to keep your systems running smoothly:

Plumbing Maintenance

• Regularly inspect visible pipes for leaks and moisture, especially under sinks
• Clean faucet aerators every six months to maintain proper water flow
• Test water pressure annually – ideal range is between 40-80 PSI
• Schedule professional drain cleaning every 18-24 months

HVAC Care Tips

• Replace air filters monthly during peak cooling season
• Keep outdoor AC units clear of debris and vegetation
• Schedule bi-annual maintenance checks
• Monitor humidity levels – ideal range is 30-50%

Emergency Prevention

• Know your main water shutoff valve location
• Install water leak detectors in prone areas
• Keep drain cleaning tools readily available
• Maintain a list of emergency contacts

Energy Saving Recommendations

• Install programmable thermostats
• Consider upgrading to high-efficiency equipment
• Seal ductwork to prevent air loss
• Use LED bulbs in recessed lighting fixtures

Remember, preventive maintenance is always more cost-effective than emergency repairs. For Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and surrounding areas, maintaining your home systems properly helps ensure comfort year-round while protecting your investment.
