Without anyone there to notice, even a small pinhole leak or failing appliance hose can release hundreds of gallons of water, severely damaging floors, drywalls, cabinetry, and personal belongings in a matter of hours. Living in Colorado brings unique plumbing challenges, from seasonal [freeze-and-thaw cycles that stress pipes](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/frozen-pipes/) to sudden temperature drops that lead to burst lines. Knowing how to prepare your home ahead of time (and knowing exactly what to do the moment you suspect a hidden leak) can save you thousands of dollars in repairs and remediation. Here is your comprehensive guide to protecting your Colorado home from unexpected water leaks. ## How to Prepare Your Home Before a Water Leak Happens When a [pipe bursts](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/frozen-pipes/) or an appliance line breaks, every second counts. Preparing your home in advance ensures you can react instantly to minimize damage. ### Locate and Test Your Main Water Shutoff Valve If a major leak occurs, shutting off the main water line is your very first line of defense. - **Where to find it:** In most Colorado homes, the main shutoff valve is located in the basement, crawl space, or utility room near the water heater or water meter. It may also be located near an exterior wall where the main supply line enters the home. - **How to test it:** Turn the valve clockwise to close it, then turn on a sink faucet to ensure the water flow stops completely. If the valve is stuck or leaking when turned, call a professional plumber to have it inspected or replaced before an [emergency](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/emergency/) happens. ### Invest in Smart Water Monitoring & Shutoff Technology While manual shutoff valves are essential, they only work if you are home to turn them. Modern technology makes it possible to protect your home 24/7, even when you’re out of town. Installing a smart monitor like the **Flo Smart Water Monitor and Shutoff** by Moen, provides advanced protection by: - **Monitoring Water Flow:** Continuous tracking of water pressure, flow rate, and temperature to detect leaks as small as one drop per minute. - **Sending Mobile Alerts:** Instant notifications sent directly to your phone if unusual water activity is detected. - **Automatic Shutoff:** Depending on your settings, the system can automatically close your main water valve to prevent catastrophic flooding if a major leak is detected while you’re away. ### Take Local Seasonal Precautions Colorado winters are notorious for sudden hard freezes. Protect your pipes before temperatures plunge: - Insulate exposed pipes in unheated areas like basements, crawl spaces, and garages. - Disconnect garden hoses from outdoor spigots before the first freeze. - Keep your thermostat set to at least 55°F, even when traveling, and open cabinet doors under sinks during extreme cold to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing fixtures. ## Early Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak Not all leaks cause obvious flooding; many start small behind drywall or beneath flooring. Watch out for these subtle red flags: - **Unexplained Spikes in Your Water Bill:** If your water usage habits haven’t changed but your monthly bill suddenly surges, water is likely escaping somewhere in your system. - **Damp Spots or Discoloration:** Look for warping, bubbling paint, soft spots on drywall, or dark patches on ceilings and hardwood floors. - **Musty Odors:** A persistent earthy or musty smell often indicates hidden moisture and mold growth inside walls or under subflooring. - **Sound of Running Water:** Hearing trickling or rushing water when no faucets, showers, or appliances are running. - **Warm Spots on the Floor:** A warm patch on a tile or concrete slab floor can signal a hot water line leak beneath your foundation (a slab leak). ## What to Do When You Suspect a Hidden Leak If you notice any of the warning signs above or suspect water is leaking somewhere in your home, follow these four immediate steps: ### Step 1: Shut Off the Main Water Valve Stop the flow of water immediately by turning off your home’s main shutoff valve. This halts active damage while you investigate. ### Step 2: Run a Quick Water Meter Test If you aren’t sure where the leak is coming from, your water meter can confirm whether water is actively escaping: 1. Ensure all faucets, appliances, and ice makers are turned off. 2. Locate your outdoor water meter pit or indoor meter display. 3. Watch the low-flow indicator (often a small red/blue triangle or dial). If it is spinning while all water is shut off, you have an active leak. ### Step 3: Document the Damage for Insurance Before beginning any cleanup, take clear photographs and videos of standing water, damaged flooring, walls, and affected personal property. Keep detailed notes and receipts for any emergency supplies purchased; these will be vital when filing a home insurance claim. ### Step 4: Contact a Licensed Plumbing Professional Hidden leaks behind walls, under slabs, or beneath flooring require specialized leak detection equipment to pinpoint without tearing apart your home unnecessarily. Contact a qualified local plumbing professional to locate the leak, make clean and precise repairs, and ensure your system is safe before turning your main water line back on. ## Keep Your Home Protected Year-Round With AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric An unexpected plumbing leak can happen to any home, but with proper preparation and smart technology, you can prevent minor issues from turning into costly disasters. Whether you need help locating your main shutoff valve, want to install a Flo by Moen smart water monitoring system, or suspect a hidden leak in your home, our team of local plumbing experts is here to help.

But how often should you actually change it? For most homes, checking your furnace filter every 30 days and replacing it every 1–3 months is a good rule of thumb. However, the right schedule depends on the type of filter you use, how often your HVAC system runs, whether you have pets, and your home’s indoor air quality needs. Instead of relying only on the calendar, it’s a good idea to regularly inspect your filter and replace it when it becomes visibly dirty. ## How Do You Know When Your Furnace Filter Needs to Be Changed? One of the easiest ways to determine whether it’s time for a new filter is simply to look at it. A clean filter should allow air to pass through easily. If the filter is covered in dust, dirt, pet hair, or other debris, it’s probably time for a replacement. Other signs that your furnace filter may need to be changed include: - Increased dust buildup around vents and furniture - Unusual odors coming from your vents - Reduced airflow or weak heating performance - Higher energy bills without any changes in usage If you notice any of these issues, checking and replacing the furnace filter could be the solution. ## What Can Make a Furnace Filter Get Dirty Faster? Every home is different, so there isn’t one replacement schedule that works for everyone. Several factors can cause your filter to collect debris more quickly, such as: ### Household Size and Occupants The more people living in your home, the more dust, dirt, and debris accumulate. Homes with larger families typically require more frequent filter changes to maintain proper airflow. ### Pets If you have pets, their fur and dander can clog the filter faster. Homes with one or more pets may need to change their furnace filter every 30 to 60 days to maintain clean air and efficiency. ### Allergies or Asthma For households with allergy sufferers or individuals sensitive to airborne particles, it’s a good idea to replace the filter more often, sometimes as frequently as every 20 to 30 days. Clean filters can help minimize allergens and improve indoor air quality. ### Seasonal Use During peak heating months, such as winter, your furnace works overtime, meaning the filter will need replacement more frequently than during off-seasons. ## Does the Type of Furnace Filter Matter? Yes. Furnace filters come in different sizes, materials, and efficiency ratings, and these differences can affect how frequently they need to be replaced. Thin fiberglass filters generally need to be changed more frequently, while thicker pleated filters may last longer. However, a filter’s advertised lifespan should be treated as a guideline rather than a guarantee. The best approach is to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations while still inspecting your filter regularly. ## Why Is Changing Your Furnace Filter Important? Replacing a dirty filter isn’t just about keeping dust out of your home. Your HVAC system depends on adequate airflow to operate properly. When a filter becomes clogged, your furnace or air conditioner may have to work harder to move air through the system. Regular filter replacement can help: - Maintain proper airflow - Support HVAC efficiency - Reduce unnecessary strain on your system - Improve indoor air quality - Reduce dust and airborne debris - Help your heating and cooling equipment perform as intended It’s one of the simplest preventative maintenance tasks homeowners can perform. ## Keep Your Furnace Running Smoothly with AAA Service Regular filter maintenance is key to maintaining a healthy and efficient furnace. By understanding how often to change your furnace filter and staying on top of replacements, you’ll benefit from better indoor air, lower energy costs, and fewer HVAC problems.

That can leave Northern Colorado homeowners wondering whether another repair makes sense or whether an older furnace is simply becoming too expensive to keep running. Age is part of the answer, but it is not the whole story. Repair history, energy use, run time, airflow, comfort, system condition, and home efficiency all play a role in deciding whether replacement is the smarter long-term move. In this guide, we’ll explain the signs that an older furnace may be losing efficiency, when [repairs](https://www.aaatoday.com/heating/furnaces/repair/) stop making financial sense, how a new system can affect winter energy use, and what to consider before [replacing your furnace](https://www.aaatoday.com/heating/furnaces/installation/). ## How Do You Know When an Older Furnace Should Be Replaced? An older [furnace](https://www.energy.gov/cmei/buildings/consumer-furnaces) may be a replacement candidate when age is combined with declining performance, frequent repairs, rising energy use, or reliability concerns. One of these factors alone doesn’t always justify replacement, but several together can point to a system that is becoming less practical to keep. Common factors include: - Frequent repair calls - Rising heating bills - Longer run times - Uneven temperatures - Weak airflow - Short cycling - Difficulty maintaining the thermostat setting - Major component wear - Safety concerns - Increasingly expensive repairs An older furnace that’s still reliable, safe, and inexpensive to maintain may not need immediate replacement. A similarly aged furnace that struggles every winter and requires repeated service presents a different picture. ## Can an Old Furnace Still Work but Be Expensive to Run? Yes. A furnace can still produce heat while using more energy than necessary to maintain comfort. Older equipment may be less efficient than newer systems, but age is only one part of the equation. Wear, dirty components, airflow restrictions, duct leakage, thermostat issues, and poor overall system performance can also make the furnace work harder. You may notice that: - Heating cycles last longer - The furnace runs more frequently - Rooms take longer to warm up - Some areas never feel comfortable - Energy bills rise without a major change in usage Those symptoms do not automatically mean the furnace needs replacement. They do indicate that the system should be evaluated to determine whether maintenance, repair, or replacement would provide the best value. ## What Furnace Problems Can Drive Up Winter Energy Bills? Several furnace and home-related problems can increase energy use. Some are relatively simple to correct, while others may signal that the system is nearing the point where replacement deserves consideration. Potential causes include: - Dirty air filters - Restricted airflow - Duct leakage - Blower problems - Short cycling - Long run times - Thermostat issues - Aging or worn components - Poor combustion performance where applicable - Insulation or air-sealing problems That is why you shouldn’t blame high winter bills on the furnace alone. If heat is escaping through leaky ducts, weak insulation, or gaps in the home, even a new high-efficiency furnace may not deliver the savings you expect. ## How Much Should Furnace Age Matter? Furnace age provides useful context, but it shouldn’t be an automatic replacement deadline. Two systems of the same age can have very different maintenance histories and operating conditions. An older furnace may still be worth keeping if: - It has been reliable - Repairs are infrequent - Performance remains consistent - Safety concerns are not present - Heating costs are reasonable - The current repair is minor Replacement becomes more compelling when age combines with repeated repairs, declining comfort, or rising operating costs. The older the system, the more important it is to evaluate overall condition rather than focus on one isolated issue. ## When Do Frequent Furnace Repairs Stop Making Sense? Repairs can be worthwhile when they extend the life of a system that is otherwise in good condition. The decision gets harder when the furnace needs another major repair after several recent service calls. Consider: - How much you have spent on recent repairs - The cost of the current repair - The age of the system - Overall equipment condition - Whether other components are also wearing out - How reliable the furnace has been - Whether comfort has declined A relatively inexpensive repair can be a good investment on one furnace and poor value on another. The right question is whether you are repairing a healthy system or continuing to put money into equipment that is becoming unreliable. ## Can a New Furnace Lower Your Winter Heating Bills? A newer, higher-efficiency furnace may reduce energy use compared with an older or poorly performing system, but exact savings vary by home. The difference depends on what you are replacing and how efficiently the rest of the home retains and distributes heat. Savings can be influenced by: - Efficiency of the old furnace - Efficiency of the new equipment - Fuel prices - Thermostat settings - Household comfort preferences - Duct condition - Insulation - Air leakage - Installation quality A new furnace can’t fix every efficiency problem in the house. The best results usually come from pairing properly selected equipment with a home that has good airflow, sealed ducts, and reasonable insulation. ## Why Does Proper Furnace Sizing Matter for Efficiency? Bigger is not always better when it comes to furnace replacement. A system that is too large for the home can cycle on and off more frequently than necessary, while an undersized system may struggle to maintain comfort during colder weather. Proper sizing should account for more than square footage. Important factors include: - Home size - Ceiling height - Insulation - Windows and doors - Air leakage - Orientation - Ductwork - Local heating load A properly sized furnace can operate more consistently and help support better comfort. This is why load calculations and system design matter just as much as choosing an efficiency rating. ## Can Ductwork and Insulation Limit the Savings From a New Furnace? Yes. A new furnace can only perform as well as the rest of the heating system and home allow. If heated air is leaking into an attic, crawlspace, or other unconditioned area, the furnace may have to run longer to maintain indoor temperatures. Poor insulation and air leakage can cause similar problems by letting heat escape too quickly. Signs that the home itself may be contributing include: - Certain rooms staying colder - Drafts near windows or doors - Large temperature differences between floors - Long heating cycles - Weak airflow in specific rooms - High bills even after equipment service Addressing duct and building-envelope problems can improve comfort and help a new furnace perform closer to its intended efficiency. ## What Are the Signs Your Furnace Is Losing Efficiency? Efficiency loss often shows up gradually, which makes it easy to overlook. Homeowners may simply get used to longer run times or slightly higher bills from one winter to the next. Watch for: - Rising heating costs without major usage changes - Longer furnace cycles - Frequent starts and stops - Uneven heating - Weak airflow - Repeated repairs - More difficulty maintaining the thermostat setting - Increasing noise or other changes in operation These symptoms can have several causes, so diagnose them before assuming replacement is necessary. A professional evaluation can help determine whether the system needs maintenance, repair, or a larger upgrade. ## Should You Replace Your Furnace Before Winter Starts? Fall can be a practical time to replace a furnace that is already showing clear signs of decline. Planning ahead gives you more time to compare equipment, understand installation needs, and decide before the system faces heavier winter demand. Replacing before winter can also give you time to: - Compare efficiency options - Review repair-versus-replace costs - Address ductwork issues - Evaluate electrical or control requirements - Schedule installation more deliberately - Avoid making a rushed no-heat decision That does not mean every older furnace should be replaced in fall. The benefit comes from addressing a system that is already unreliable or expensive to operate before it becomes an emergency. ## What Should You Look for in a Replacement Furnace? Choosing a new furnace involves more than selecting the highest efficiency rating available. The right system should match the home’s needs, existing infrastructure, and budget. Consider: - Proper sizing - Efficiency rating - Fuel type - Blower technology - Thermostat compatibility - Duct condition - Installation quality - Noise levels - Warranty coverage - Long-term operating costs The equipment matters, but installation quality matters just as much. A high-efficiency furnace that is poorly sized or installed may not deliver the comfort or savings you expect. ## Should You Consider a Heat Pump or Dual-Fuel System Instead? Furnace replacement can also be an opportunity to compare other heating options. Some Northern Colorado homeowners may want to consider a heat pump or dual-fuel system depending on the home, electrical capacity, fuel availability, and comfort goals. A heat pump can provide both heating and cooling, while a dual-fuel system combines a heat pump with a furnace. These options can offer different operating characteristics and cost considerations depending on the household. The best choice depends on: - Existing HVAC equipment - Fuel availability - Electrical capacity - Home heating load - Comfort preferences - Utility costs - Budget No single system is best for every home. A professional evaluation can help compare the options based on your actual needs. ## How Can You Estimate Whether Replacement Will Actually Save Money? The best way to estimate potential savings is to compare your current system and costs with realistic replacement expectations. Avoid relying on broad promises that a new furnace will cut bills by a specific percentage. Look at: - Recent heating bills - Furnace efficiency - Repair history - Current system condition - Duct condition - Insulation and air leakage - Projected operating costs - Cost of replacement You should also consider reliability and comfort, not just utility expenses. A new furnace may add value through fewer repairs and more consistent heating, even when bill savings alone don’t justify the entire project. ## Plan Your Furnace Replacement With AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric An older furnace doesn’t need replacement just because of its age, but rising winter bills, frequent repairs, long run times, and declining comfort can signal it is becoming less economical to keep. The smartest decision comes from looking at the condition of the entire heating system and home. AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric can evaluate your furnace, explain whether repair still makes sense, and help you compare replacement options for your Northern Colorado home.

More often, the signs appear gradually through inconsistent temperatures, unusual noises, rusty hot water, leaks, or repeated repairs. Noticing these changes can give you time to plan a replacement before you wake up to a cold shower or find water around the tank. In this guide, you will learn which warning signs suggest your Denver Metro [water heater](https://www.energy.gov/cmei/buildings/consumer-water-heaters) may be approaching the end of reliable service, when [repair](https://www.aaatoday.com/water-heater/repair/) may still make sense, and why planning replacement before complete failure can make the process easier. The goal is not to replace a working system too early, but to recognize when reliability is clearly declining. ## What Are the Clearest Signs Your Water Heater Needs Replacing? One symptom alone doesn’t always mean a water heater needs replacing. Several warning signs appearing together are more meaningful. Watch for: - Water leaking from the tank - Visible corrosion - Rust-colored or discolored hot water - Rumbling or popping noises - Hot water running out sooner - Inconsistent water temperature - Repeated repairs - Increasingly unreliable operation - An older system with multiple developing problems Age should also factor into the decision, but it should not be the only factor. A well-maintained older heater with a sound tank may still be serviceable, while a similar unit with corrosion, leaks, and repeated failures may be ready for replacement. The key question is whether another repair is likely to restore dependable service. ## How Much Does Water Heater Age Matter? Age matters because tanks, heating components, controls, valves, and other parts wear over time. However, no single birthday marks when every water heater suddenly needs replacement. Traditional tank water heaters often operate for many years, but actual service life depends on installation quality, maintenance, water conditions, usage, and previous repairs. When evaluating an older system, consider: - Tank condition - Maintenance history - Repair frequency - Hot-water performance - Visible corrosion - Leak history - Overall reliability An older water heater that has been dependable may still be worth repairing if the problem is minor. Age matters more when it appears alongside other warning signs. Instead of asking only how old the unit is, ask how much dependable service you are likely to get after the next repair. ## Does a Leaking Water Heater Always Need to Be Replaced? Not every water heater leak means the tank has failed. Water can come from several places, including: - Plumbing connections - Valves - Drain fittings - Nearby piping - Condensation - The storage tank itself Some connection or valve leaks may be repairable. A leak from the tank itself is more serious because it often indicates internal deterioration. That distinction is important. A plumber may be able to replace a fitting or valve, but normal component repair cannot restore a tank that has corroded through. If you notice water around the base of the heater, do not wait for the puddle to get larger. Even a relatively small leak can damage flooring, walls, storage areas, or nearby belongings. A professional inspection can determine whether the source is repairable or whether replacement is the more dependable solution. ## What Does Rusty or Discolored Hot Water Mean? Rust-colored hot water can signal corrosion somewhere in the hot-water system. The water heater may be involved, particularly if the discoloration appears only when using hot water. However, don’t automatically blame the tank without further evaluation. Look for patterns such as: - Persistent rust-colored hot water - Visible corrosion on the heater - Discoloration that has become more frequent - Rust around fittings or tank surfaces - Other symptoms such as leaking or declining performance A one-time change in water color may have another explanation. Persistent discoloration combined with an aging tank deserves closer attention. Internal corrosion matters because it can eventually compromise the tank itself. ## Why Is Your Water Heater Rumbling or Popping? Rumbling, popping, or knocking sounds often develop when sediment accumulates inside a tank-style water heater. As water heats, trapped material can cause unusual noises as bubbles and water move around sediment deposits. Noise does not automatically mean replacement is necessary. Depending on the system’s condition, maintenance may help address some sediment-related problems. The situation becomes more concerning when noise appears alongside: - Reduced hot-water capacity - Slow recovery - Leaks - Corrosion - Repeated repairs - Advanced equipment age If a heater suddenly becomes much louder than it used to, evaluate it rather than ignore it. The noise may be a maintenance issue, but it can also be one more sign that an older system is becoming less reliable. ## Why Does Your Hot Water Run Out Faster Than It Used To? A noticeable decline in hot-water capacity can mean the system is no longer performing the way it once did. You may notice that showers turn cold sooner, recovery takes longer, or water temperature fluctuates during normal household use. Possible causes include: - Failed heating elements - Burner or ignition problems - Thermostat or control issues - Sediment buildup - Declining system performance - Household demand exceeding the heater’s capacity Some of these problems are repairable. For example, replacing a failed heating element on an otherwise healthy electric water heater may restore normal performance. The decision becomes different when declining capacity appears on an older system that is also corroded, noisy, leaking, or requiring repeated service. Evaluate performance alongside the condition of the entire heater. ## When Do Repeated Water Heater Repairs Stop Making Sense? One repair differs from a pattern of recurring breakdowns. Repair may still make sense when: - The problem is isolated - The tank is structurally sound - The heater has otherwise been reliable - Hot-water capacity remains adequate - The repair cost is reasonable - Other components appear to be in good condition Replacement becomes more attractive when repairs begin stacking up. You may find yourself replacing one component, then dealing with a different failure several months later. Even if each repair seems manageable on its own, the total cost and inconvenience can grow quickly. Reliability matters as much as the price of the current repair. If the water heater is becoming difficult to trust, investing in another repair may simply postpone a replacement decision that is already approaching. ## Why Is Planned Replacement Better Than Waiting for Complete Failure? Replacing a water heater before it fails completely gives you more control. A planned project gives you time to compare: - Tank and tankless options - Fuel types - System capacity - Installation requirements - Efficiency features - Warranty coverage - Scheduling An emergency failure can limit those choices. If the tank begins leaking significantly or stops producing hot water altogether, the priority quickly becomes restoring service. That may leave less time to compare equipment or consider whether another type of water heater would better fit the household. Planning replacement can also reduce the risk of water damage from a deteriorating tank. The goal is not to replace every older heater early. It is to act when the warning signs indicate that dependable operation is becoming less likely. ## Should You Replace Your Tank Water Heater With Another Tank or Go Tankless? When replacement becomes necessary, homeowners can reconsider the type of water heater they use. A traditional tank water heater may be a good fit when: - You want a familiar system - Existing plumbing supports a straightforward replacement - Stored hot-water capacity meets household needs - Simpler installation is a priority A tankless system may be worth considering when: - You want on-demand hot water - Space is limited - You want to reduce standby heat loss - The home can support the required fuel or electrical demand - Long-term equipment planning is important Tankless is not automatically the better option for every Denver Metro home. Installation may require changes to gas service, venting, electrical capacity, or plumbing. Household hot-water demand also matters because the unit must be sized for how many fixtures may operate at the same time. The right replacement should match how your household actually uses hot water. ## What Should a Plumber Check Before Recommending Replacement? A replacement recommendation should be based on the condition of the entire system, not a single symptom. A professional evaluation may consider: - Leak source - Tank condition - Visible corrosion - Heating components - Burner or ignition operation - Thermostat and controls - Hot-water capacity - Repair history - System age - Installation condition This evaluation helps distinguish a repairable problem from a system that is becoming unreliable overall. If the tank remains sound and the issue is limited to one component, repair may still be reasonable. If several warning signs point toward deterioration, replacement may provide better long-term reliability. Before deciding, ask what is failing and what condition the rest of the system is in. ## Replace an Unreliable Water Heater Before the Cold Shower Arrives Your water heater does not have to fail completely before you start considering replacement. Leaks, corrosion, rusty hot water, unusual noises, reduced capacity, and repeated repairs can all indicate that reliable service is becoming harder to maintain. The strongest case for replacement usually comes from several warning signs appearing together. Age alone should not make the decision, but age combined with declining performance and repeated problems deserves attention.

Each can improve comfort, convenience, or energy efficiency, but installing all three may place a significant new demand on the home’s [electrical system](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/). The answer is not determined by panel size alone. A 200-amp panel may still have limitations, while some homes with smaller services may support selected upgrades through careful planning and load management. In this guide, we will explain how electricians evaluate [electrical panel](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/panels/) capacity, what each upgrade adds to your home’s electrical demand, and when a [panel or service upgrade](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/panels/upgrades/) may be needed. ## Why These Upgrades Require Electrical Planning Home electrification often means replacing gas-powered equipment with electric alternatives. Common projects include: - Replacing a furnace with a heat pump - Installing a Level 2 EV charger - Switching from gas to induction cooking - Adding a heat pump water heater - Planning for solar or battery storage Each project adds electrical demand. When several upgrades are planned together, the combined load matters more than any single appliance. Even if the projects will be completed in phases, planning them as one electrical strategy can prevent duplicated work and unexpected costs. ## Panel Size Does Not Tell the Whole Story A 100-, 150-, or 200-amp rating is only one part of the evaluation. An electrician must also consider: - Existing household demand - Available breaker space - Heating and cooling equipment - Water heating - Major appliances - EV charging output - Wiring condition - Grounding and bonding - Future electrical plans A panel may have open breaker positions but insufficient service capacity. It may also have enough capacity but no safe space for additional circuits. That is why a professional load calculation is necessary before adding several large electric loads. ## How an Electrical Load Calculation Works A [load calculation](https://basc.pnnl.gov/hpwh_installation_tool/electrical_calculator) estimates how much electricity the home is expected to use under normal and high-demand conditions. Electricians do not simply add every breaker rating together. Many circuits do not run at full capacity at the same time. The calculation may include: - Home size - Lighting and receptacles - HVAC equipment - Water heating - Cooking appliances - Clothes dryers - EV charging - Hot tubs or workshops - Other dedicated equipment The exact specifications of the proposed heat pump, charger, and induction range must also be reviewed. The result helps determine whether the existing service can support the upgrades or whether load management, a subpanel, panel replacement, or service upgrade should be considered. ## How Much Demand Does a Heat Pump Add? Heat pump electrical requirements vary based on: - System size - Efficiency - Compressor technology - Indoor air handler requirements - Number of zones - Supplemental heating - Existing HVAC setup A ductless system serving one room may require far less power than a whole-home heat pump. Supplemental electric resistance heat can create a much larger load. These heating elements may operate during very cold weather, defrost cycles, or emergency conditions. For Denver homes, the electrical assessment should include the exact heat pump model and any proposed backup heat. Looking only at typical operating demand may underestimate the system’s full requirements. ## How an EV Charger Affects Panel Capacity Level 2 EV charging can become one of the largest continuous electrical loads in a home. Demand depends on: - Charger output - Vehicle charging capability - Circuit size - Daily driving needs - Charging schedule - Adjustable power settings - Whether more than one vehicle will charge A homeowner may not need the fastest possible charging speed. A lower-output Level 2 charger may still replenish the miles used during a typical day while placing less demand on the electrical service. Because EV charging may continue for several hours, the charger usually requires a dedicated circuit and careful load planning. ## What an Induction Range Adds An induction range provides fast, responsive cooking without burning gas inside the home. It still requires a properly sized electrical circuit. The impact depends partly on what the range replaces. Replacing an existing electric range may involve little change if the current wiring and circuit meet the new appliance requirements. Converting from gas usually adds a new major electrical load. The project may require: - A dedicated circuit - New wiring - A compatible receptacle or hardwired connection - Additional breaker space - A service capacity review The appliance specifications should be confirmed before electrical work begins. ## Why Adding All Three Can Be Challenging A heat pump, EV charger, and induction range may each be manageable on their own. The combined demand is what creates limitations for some homes. Other existing loads may include: - Electric water heating - Clothes dryers - Hot tubs - Workshops - Electric baseboard heat - Multiple HVAC systems - Solar or battery equipment Homes that previously relied on gas for heating, cooking, and water heating may have been designed with less electrical capacity. Installing several major loads without a whole-home plan can lead to delays, higher costs, or very little room for future upgrades. ## Signs Your Panel May Need Attention Certain conditions suggest that a detailed electrical inspection is needed: - A 100-amp service - An older fuse box - No open breaker positions - Frequent breaker trips - Flickering lights - Warm panel components - Buzzing sounds - Visible corrosion - Scorch marks - Previous unpermitted work - Outdated panel equipment These signs do not automatically mean the panel must be replaced. They do mean that new high-demand equipment should not be added without professional evaluation. Burning odors, heat, arcing sounds, or visible damage require prompt service. ## Panel Space and Service Capacity Are Different Breaker space refers to the physical room available for new circuit breakers. Service capacity refers to how much electrical demand the home can safely support. A subpanel can add breaker space and improve circuit organization. It does not increase the total amount of power available from the utility. If the calculated load is within the home’s service capacity, a subpanel may help accommodate new circuits. If demand exceeds the service rating, a subpanel alone will not solve the problem. ## Does a 100-Amp Service Need to Be Upgraded? Not every 100-amp service must be replaced, but many have limited flexibility for major electrification projects. A 100-amp home may support selected upgrades when: - Existing electrical demand is low - Some gas appliances remain - The heat pump has modest requirements - EV charging output is limited - Load-management equipment is used - The induction range replaces an existing electric range Adding a whole-home heat pump, high-output charger, and induction range may be difficult without changes, especially if the home already has other electric appliances. The decision should be based on a load calculation, not a blanket rule. ## Is a 200-Amp Panel Always Enough? A 200-amp service offers more flexibility, but it is not unlimited. Capacity can still become tight in homes with: - Multiple HVAC systems - Electric resistance backup heat - More than one EV charger - Electric water heating - Hot tubs - Large workshops - Accessory dwelling units - Future electrification plans The panel’s condition also matters. A 200-amp rating does not make damaged or outdated equipment safe. The electrician must confirm that the service, panel, breakers, conductors, grounding, and bonding are appropriate for the proposed work. ## Could Load Management Avoid an Upgrade? Load management may allow some homes to add new equipment without immediately increasing service capacity. Possible strategies include: - Reducing EV charger output - Charging during lower-demand periods - Using an EV energy-management system - Pausing charging when other major loads operate - Selecting heat pump equipment with lower backup heat demand - Using smart panels or monitored circuits An EV energy-management system may adjust charger output based on how much electricity the rest of the home is using. These solutions must be professionally designed and installed. Compatibility, local requirements, and equipment specifications determine whether load management is appropriate. ## Other Electrical Work May Be Needed The panel is only one part of the project. The installation may also require: - Dedicated circuits - New wiring - Outdoor disconnects - Grounding and bonding corrections - Surge protection - Weather-rated EV equipment - Garage wiring - Meter changes - Utility coordination Heat pumps may need separate circuits for indoor and outdoor equipment. EV chargers may require long wiring runs from the panel to a garage or driveway. Planning these details together can reduce conflicts and simplify future upgrades. ## Should You Plan All Three Upgrades Together? The upgrades do not have to be installed at the same time, but they should be considered together. Advance planning can determine: - Whether a service upgrade is likely - Which circuits should be added first - Whether conduit should be installed now - What EV charging speed is practical - How much heat pump backup is appropriate - Whether breaker space should be reserved - How much future capacity will remain A homeowner may install the induction range now, add a heat pump next year, and purchase an EV later. Planning for all three can prevent repeated electrical work. ## What to Expect During an Electrical Assessment A professional evaluation may include: - Inspecting the main panel - Confirming the service rating - Reviewing existing circuits - Checking panel condition - Evaluating grounding and bonding - Completing a load calculation - Reviewing equipment specifications - Identifying wiring routes - Checking meter and service equipment - Discussing future plans The electrician may recommend using the existing panel, adding dedicated circuits, installing a subpanel, using load management, or upgrading the electrical service. The recommendation should clearly explain how the work supports each proposed upgrade. ## Plan Your Denver Home Electrification Safely Your Denver electrical panel may be able to support a heat pump, EV charger, and induction range, but the answer depends on the home’s existing demand, equipment specifications, breaker space, service capacity, and electrical condition. A professional load calculation is the only reliable way to determine whether you can use the current system, add load management, install a subpanel, or complete a service upgrade.

In the case of a black light bulb, this may not be true, but it’s better to be safe rather than sorry. If a lightbulb turns black, this is most likely a sign that your bulb needs to be replaced. ## Why CFL Light Bulbs Turn Black Compact fluorescent light bulbs may emit a bit of smoke when they burn out, but they are designed to do this. Most CFL bulbs burn out when the ballast overheats, and the electronic component inside, the Voltage Dependent Resistor (VDR), opens. This is similar to your fuse box shutting off the circuit in your home. In both cases, a small amount of heat is present, and possibly some smoke. We realize this sounds dangerous, but the VDR functions as a cut-off switch that will prevent any serious hazards. Just be sure to change the bulb ASAP! ## Are CFLs a Fire Hazard? Despite what most people think, these energy-efficient bulbs are not a fire hazard. However, any electrical device or appliance can malfunction if it’s not used correctly. Be sure to use your light bulbs the right way, and ensure that they’re connected to the fixture. Other signs of a misused bulb include using a bulb that has the wrong wattage. **If you have any questions about [your home’s lighting](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/lighting/ceiling-fans/) or other [electrical appliances](/electrical/repair/), don’t hesitate to contact [our technicians](https://www.aaatoday.com/about/) at [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](/) or give us a call at [303-313-3333](tel:3033133333) to [schedule an appointment.](/contact/)** **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [Why Communication is a Must-Have Skill for Electricians](https://www.aaatoday.com/blog/why-communication-is-a-must-have-skill-for-electricians/) **Published:** November 4, 2018 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** There are many skills an electrician must possess. From problem-solving and technical skills to working safely and staying organized, these basic skills are needed to complete a job efficiently. However, one ability, in particular, is crucial — communication, and here’s why. ### Customer Service Electricians who possess excellent communication skills often understand the importance of providing excellent customer service. Being an effective communicator can also help customers stay informed. It also helps when electricians are consistently relaying any unexpected roadblocks upon [fixing an electrical problem](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/repair/). ### Create Positive Customer Experiences Before any electrical job is performed, it’s essential that an electrician understands how to ease client concerns. Going the extra mile creates an experience that customers will appreciate. For example, giving customer tips on how to save on their electrical bill or showing them a trick of the trade that will help them solve a future electrical problem. ### Forms Trust First impressions are crucial. Once an electrician steps through a customer’s door, they are going to pay attention to how they are treated. They will want to know their needs are being addressed, questions are answered, and that the electrician is giving them the best and most cost-effective option in fixing the problem. Demonstrating knowledge and skill along with a positive attitude is a key component to building trust. It also helps the customer feel confident that the job is going to be done right. ### Build Repeat Business Customers appreciate good service. When a client knows they can trust an electrician, they feel confident in their ability to solve their problem.

From garbage disposals to sewer lines, here are some things that could be causing your kitchen sink to stink! ## Garbage Disposals While [garbage disposals](/plumbing/garbage-disposals/) are convenient and an easy way to dispose of food, it still needs some TLC and maintenance. #### Why Does My Garbage Disposal Smell? Scraps of food, grease, and other gunk can get stuck to the garbage disposal blades, causing the food to rot and smell. That’s why it’s important to watch what you toss down the drain- avoiding items such as coffee grounds, eggshells, grease, and other fibrous foods that might get caught in the blades. #### How to Clean a Smelly Garbage Disposal You can clear away the grimy gunk on your blades by running your disposal for about 20 seconds and pouring the following into the disposal: - Cold running water from the sink - 2 cups of ice cubes - 1 cup of salt You can also drop lemon, grapefruit, or orange grinds into the disposal with the above ingredients to give it a fresh smell. ## Pipe Drain Pouring cooking grease down the drain is a big “don’t” and can really mess up your kitchen sink pipes. Any oil can congeal to the sides of the disposal, drain, and lower part of the pipe. The rotting smell is because the grease is decomposing. Other debris and food can also get stuck in the grease, which can make the terrible smell far worse. #### How to Get Rid of Smell in Kitchen Drain - Pour a cup of baking soda down the drain with vinegar. - Let the vinegar and baking soda sit for about 10 to 15 minutes - Then follow that with a pot of boiling water. ## Sink Trap If there’s a sewer smell coming from your [drain](/drain-sewer/drain-cleaning/), it’s likely coming from the sink trap. Your sink trap is “P” or “U” shaped located below the sink basin. A trap is designed to prevent sewer gas from making its way from the pipes into your house. #### Why Does My P-Trap Smell? When you get a sewer smell, it could mean that the water in the trap preventing the sewer gas from escaping has evaporated. This can happen if the sink isn’t used often. Running the water to fill up the trap usually does the trick in removing the smell. **If you’ve tried rectifying any of the above kitchen sink problems, and you still have a foul smell in your home, it could mean you have a bigger plumbing problem.

While many issues could cause a flooded lawn, we’re focusing on a few plumbing problems that will hydrate your grass more than you’d like. Be aware, though, that flooding is not the only symptom of a plumbing issue. Grass that looks bright green and lusher than normal could also be a sign of a problem. Here are a few reasons why water is collecting in your yard. ### Broken Water Line Whether it be your main sewer line or main water line, a break in either is cause for concern. When the pipeline breaks it is either sending your drinking water or your wastewater out into your lawn. This is a waste of water and could potentially be dangerous if contaminated with sewage. If you’ve noticed a drop in water pressure without you changing anything, this could be a sign that a water pipe is leaking. ### Malfunctioning Drain Field Your drain field is the last stop for wastewater after it is treated in your septic system. The water moves out of the tank and into the drain field before being released into the environment. Sometimes when it rains, the excess water combined with your home wastewater is too much for the drain field. Instead of a slow leach, it pools and collects on the surface. If the puddles only come around with rain, there’s likely not much to worry about. But if you notice this problem even when it’s dry, there’s likely an issue with the pipe leading to your drain field. ### Reliable and Efficient Sewer Service When you want the puddles around your lawn to dry up, turn to the team at [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](/contact/) to snuff out the problem at its source. Contact us today at [303-313-3333](tel:3033133333) to learn more about how we can help. **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [What Is Energy Saver Mode on My AC?](https://www.aaatoday.com/blog/what-is-energy-saver-mode-on-my-ac/) **Published:** August 6, 2019 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** Saving energy can also mean saving money on your utility bill. Virtually all AC units whether central air or a window unit comes with an energy saver mode button. Here are some good reasons why you need to press that button! ### Lower Your Energy Bill Running your AC in energy saver mode has many benefits, including lowering your energy costs. Running your AC in energy saver mode helps to reduce its power.

It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s one of the great modern conveniences. But, as they say, there’s always room for improvement. Enter the sealed combustion furnace. This advanced type of forced-air heating addresses some of the typical atmospheric furnace shortcomings to provide safer, more efficient home heating. ## Sealed Combustion Explained A conventional furnace is what’s known as an “atmospheric” furnace. This means it draws air from its immediate surroundings, i.e., your home’s interior, to fuel the combustion process. In other words, it’s recirculating and reheating the same air over and over. Air that’s already warm is running through the system for another blast of heat. If that sounds somewhat wasteful, it’s because it is. A sealed combustion furnace takes a different approach. The chamber is completely closed off from your home so that it’s only pulling air from outside. This has several benefits. ## Advantages of a Sealed Combustion Furnace - **Increased energy efficiency:** Sealed combustion furnaces boast an AFUE rating of 90% to 98%. AFUE is the annual fuel utilization efficiency. The higher the AFUE, the less fuel goes to waste in the combustion process. - **Better indoor air quality:** Sealed combustion furnace isn’t recycling the same stagnant air. It’s drawing upon fresh outside air each time it starts a cycle. Maintaining healthy indoor air quality is vital during winter when our homes are sealed up for prolonged periods. Also, sealed combustion keeps humidity in balance. Unlike an atmospheric furnace, It doesn’t create a vacuum, causing dry winter air to seep into the home. - **Enhanced safety:** A conventional furnace is perfectly safe so long as it’s maintained. However, sealed combustion adds a safety layer by isolating the fuel-burning process. - **Quiet operation:** All the blowing and burning action happen inside a tightly sealed compartment, minimizing the noise. ## Turn to the Denver Area Furnace Installation Experts If you’re ready to [upgrade your furnace](/heating/furnaces/installation/), count on the team at [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](/about/) for a quality installation and exceptional service.

While many believe that both of these pumps have the same function, they actually don’t. #### What’s the Difference between Sump Pump and Ejector Pumps? Sump pumps are used to prevent flooding in areas where houses are below the water table line, while ejector pumps generally are used with a sewage system to help remove sewage. To understand more, let’s take a look at the differences between sump pumps and sewage ejector pumps: ## What Is a Sump Pump ? A sump pump is an important part of your home’s water management system. It is generally a small water pump that is installed in the basement of a home, usually in a sump basin (a cylindrical container). This sump pump is then connected to two inlets at either end of a drain tile system. #### How Does a Sump Pump Work? So, in cases where your home gets flooded with water during rainy days: - The sump collects water from the drain tile system and accumulates the water there. - Once it reaches its water capacity, the sump pumps float switch is activated. - The accumulated water is then pumped out of the sump pump and basement through a discharge pipe, which delivers the water into a dispersal device or a storm drain. If this pump fails or does not function properly, your house may be flooded. Sump pumps require electricity to function, but some come with battery backups at an extra cost. This provides the needed electricity for the pump to function during a power outage. #### When to Install a Sump Pump If your house is located in an area below the water table line, it is imperative to install a sump pump. This way you can keep your home protected from any and all water damage and can prevent your basement from getting flooded. ## What is an Ejector Pump? Ejector pumps are similar to sump pumps in appearance and are also installed in a sump basin on your basement floor. However, the task an ejector pump performs is different from a sump pump and is generally used to remove sewage from your home. The ejector pumps basin is responsible for collecting water and sewage from the drains. #### How Does an Ejector Pump Work? - The ejector pump is connected to a storm drain or dispersal device to deliver water away from your home. - This water is then processed and the lid of the ejector pump will be sealed to prevent any harmful chemicals or gases from entering your home. Failure of this device can create [flooding of water](/drain-sewer/sewer-repair/) and raw sewage that will create various health hazards. #### When to Install an Ejector Pump If your house is located in an area that faces issues such as [clogged sewage](/drain-sewer/) or frequent flooding, then make sure to install an ejector pump. This way, your home will be protected by any possible contaminant or harmful chemicals. Do not delay, protect your home today by installing the right pump. **So, now that you are familiar with the difference between both pumps, determining which pump is required in your home won’t be a problem.

Now, just in time for Halloween, we’re publishing part two of our spooky noises blogs—and for the sequel, we’re talking about water heaters. Keep reading for what you need to know, and remember that our expert plumbers at AAA are always here for [quality water heater repair](/water-heater/repair/) and [installation](/plumbing/water-heaters/installation/). ## 5 Haunting Water Heater Noises (And What You Can Do About Them) - **Banging/Rumbling:** No, that loud banging or rumbling sound coming from your basement isn’t a ghost, it’s your water heater! Sometimes, this just means you need to flush the sediment out of the tank, because excess build-up when the combustion process is occurring often causes a noise like a mini-explosion. However, water heater banging can also be attributed to a phenomenon called “water hammer,” which occurs when the flow of water is shut off, prompting water to go back into your system. Water hammer can cause pipes to burst, so make sure you have a pressure reducing valve on your system to stop this from happening, and call a technician right away if it continues. As a side note, you are less likely to hear this sound with a [tankless water heater](/plumbing/tankless-water-heaters/), since the tank and piping system that comes with a traditional water heater is not present. - **Hissing:** Sizzling, hissing, or crackling usually occurs in electric water heaters, and are not necessarily signs of trouble. However, if hissing sounds are constantly coming from your electric heater, it’s possible that sediment build-up is covering the heating element, which once again means that you will have to drain the tank. You may also want to clean the heating element with a descaling liquid to remove any residue. In gas water heaters, meanwhile, a hissing sound is usually a sign of excess condensation, meaning you should check to see if there is water pooling at the base of your unit and call an experienced plumber to inspect for leaks ASAP. - **Ticking:** No one likes to hear a ticking noise in their home—after all, you wouldn’t want to walk down to your basement to find it sounds like a bomb is about to go off. The good news is that more often than not, that ticking noise you’re hearing can be attributed to changes in your water pressure. Oftentimes, you can reduce the effect water pressure changes have on your water heater by tightening or loosening the straps in the area where the ticking is coming from. You may also want to install some insulation or “spacing” around your water heater to prevent the pipes from moving (again, this is really only an issue that applies to traditional tank water heaters.) If you continue to have water pressure issues after that, call an [experienced plumber](/plumbing/) to check out your pipes. - **Screeching:** Is there anything spookier than a random screeching noise? Well, fear not if you’re hearing this in your home, because there’s a good chance it’s coming from your water heater. To get rid of that screeching or high-pitched whistle, you will want to tighten your water heater valves, where air may be getting out. Start by looking at the temperature and pressure relief valve. If there is a problem with this component, your water heater could become a hazard, in which case you should shut off your heater altogether and call a plumber right away. From there, move on to the inlet and outlet valves, checking to see they are fully open. - **Popping:** A popping noise coming from your water heater is also an indication of sediment build-up—high alkaline sediment specifically. Alkaline-rich water causes rust, which is why the average water heater has what is called an [anode rod](https://static.grainger.com/rp/s/is/image/Grainger/45W630_AW01?hei=1072&wid=1072)—a magnesium or aluminum component designed to reduce alkali levels and prevent rust from occurring. However, when an aluminum rod in particular gets worn out, the chemical reaction in the water can cause that popping sound to occur. The solution? Simply replace your old anode rod with a new one. You may need to do this more often if you live in an area with hard, minerally water, which is what aluminum rods are specifically designed to reduce. **Don’t let creepy sounds around your house scare you away this Halloween season!

In this edition, we’re tackling the limitations of tankless water heaters, what to do if you drop your ring down the sink (it happens!), the curious placement of the hot water knob, and more! ## Should I Wrap My Water Heater in an Insulation Blanket? “I’m a cheapskate. I’ll take advantage of any opportunity to save a buck or two. Can an insulation blanket cut my water heating costs?” – Thrifty in Thornton Your water heater is second only to your central heating system as your home’s most energy-hungry appliance, accounting for about 18% of your electricity costs. So, it’s understandable why you’d want to reign in its energy consumption. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, an insulation blanket could help cut your annual water heating costs [by as much as 16%](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/services/do-it-yourself-energy-savings-projects/savings-project-insulate-your-water). But not every water heater needs one. **How old is your water heater?:** Modern water heaters have adequate insulation built into the tank. An additional layer might cause the system to overheat, tripping a safety mechanism called the temperature and pressure relief valve. An older water heater, however, might benefit. Find your water heater’s R-value on the label. A water heater with an R-value of less than 24 could be a candidate for an insulation blanket. **Other ways to cut water heating costs:** You can also consider installing a timer on your water heater. A timer functions like a programmable thermostat, allowing you to create a schedule around your water heating needs. While you’re sleeping or away, the timer switches the water heater off, saving energy. And don’t overlook [routine maintenance](/about/the-aaa-guarantee/). Periodically flushing your water heater of sediment will improve performance, extend the lifespan, and help it operate more efficiently. ## Help! I Dropped My Ring Down the Sink! “I take my ring off when I wash my hands. I’m always cautious about setting it on the counter before washing up, but it slipped out of my fingers and fell into the sink. Did my love life go down the drain along with my ring?” -Clumsy in Castle Rock Don’t worry. The P-trap may very well have saved your marriage. The P-trap is that U-shaped section of pipe beneath the sink. It always contains a bit of water to form a seal that gas odors cannot penetrate. But it also serves an important secondary purpose: catching the things people inadvertently drop down the drain. Follow these steps to retrieve your ring from the murky depths of your plumbing. - Place a bucket under the P-trap - Use a pair of water pliers to remove the lock nuts - Slide the P-trap out and empty the contents into the bucket Is your ring there? Gosh, we hope so! ## Does a Tankless Water Heater Provide Instant Hot Water? “I’m tired of waiting for the shower to warm up before stepping in. Will a tankless water heater supply hot water instantly?” -Rushing in Aurora Tankless water heaters are tremendously efficient and supply endless hot water, but it won’t get you into the shower any faster, sorry to say. For that, you’ll need a recirculation pump. A recirculation pump keeps hot water in constant circulation, so it’s there when you need it. No more wait, no more waste. **How it works:** A pump at the water heater sends water to the furthest tap from the tank — the showerhead in an upstairs bathroom, for example. The water sits in the pipe, ready for use until it cools. The unused water travels back to the water heater while more hot water is trafficked through the pipe, waiting on standby. Round and round it goes. Because this device keeps hot water at-the-ready, you’ll [save around 12,000 gallons a year](https://www.pmmag.com/articles/101559-what-you-need-to-know-about-hot-water-recirculation)! That’s water that would otherwise be wasted while you wait for it to get warm. ## Why Does My Furnace Have a Yellow Flame? “I was doing some troubleshooting on my furnace when I noticed that it had a yellow flame. Is that normal?” -DIYing in Denver Yellow = yikes! When a furnace is working correctly, the combustion process will use the right mix of oxygen and gas, resulting in a blue flame with just a hint of yellow at the tip. Too much gas or not enough oxygen will produce a pilot light that’s yellow or orange. An off-color flame may also indicate that other elements are burning, such as dust, rust, oil, tar, and other potentially hazardous materials. Because the gas isn’t burning cleanly, you might also notice a sooty buildup on the components. In addition to color, note the flame’s movement. A steady flame is a healthy flame. Flickering suggests a serious malfunction, such as a cracked heat exchanger. This could compromise your indoor air quality with carbon monoxide. It’s a severe health risk and should be inspected by a professional HVAC technician right away. ## Why is Hot Water Knob Always on the Left? “I’m a proud lefty. There are very few things made with southpaws in mind. That’s why I’m always grateful that the handle for hot water is always on the left, no matter where I go. I’m assuming the person who invented hot running water was a fellow lefty. Is this case?” -Lefthanded in Lakewood For all we know, the smart plumber who made it possible for us to receive hot water at the turn of a handle may have been ambidextrous. The decision to place hot water on the left boils down to available space around the faucet. You see, when indoor plumbing was introduced in the 19th century, we used a hand pump to draw water to the tap. Because most people were — and are — right-handed, the pump was placed on the left. That left only one place to put the hot water valve when it was finally invented — to the left of the faucet’s cold water side. And there it remained. Today, its placement is enforced by the Uniform Plumbing Code, which states that faucets “shall be connected to the water distribution system so that hot water corresponds to the left side of the fittings.” By the way, the hot water valve’s position isn’t the only plumbing configuration that favors lefties. Ever notice that the flusher is always on the left side of a toilet? **Bottom line:** We’re always happy to help answer your questions about your [plumbing](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/), [electrical](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/), and [HVAC systems](https://www.aaatoday.com/heating/), whether here in our blog or on the phone.

Bringing family and friends together for a sports game or a BBQ binge-watch of your favorite TV show can take your home entertainment to the next level. Here are some things to consider before you install your TV outside. ### Is it Safe for Outdoors? Before hanging up your TV outside, you’ll need to ensure that the model you choose has been labeled for outdoor use. Outdoor TVs are best because they are designed to reduce glare, resist moisture, and withstand various temperatures. ### Where Should You Mount Your Outdoor TV? Whether watching TV solo or with friends, you’ll want everyone to have the best viewing experience. Choose a spot that won’t be subjected to the elements. Also, place in a shady area to avoid direct sunlight throughout the day. ### What Type of Mount Will Do You Need? An indoor TV mount will not be compatible with your outdoor TV. You’ll want a mount that is rust resistant and designed to withstand the elements. Outdoor TVs also tend to weigh more than indoor TVs so an indoor mount would not be able to hold up as much weight. ### How To Properly Wire Your Outdoor Space Safely To use your outdoor TV, it’s apparent that you’ll need electrical power outdoors. If the space in which you decide to put your TV does not have any available outlets, you’ll need to have an electrical wiring installation. It’s best not to attempt to install your outlets outdoors without professional help. Having an experienced electrician can ensure that your electrical outlets are correctly installed to avoid any safety issues.

Squealing, banging, thumping, scraping would make eerie noises for, say, a movie about a haunted house. If you hear anything strange from your attic or basement, your home (probably) isn’t possessed. A more likely explanation is that your [heating system is malfunctioning](/heating/repair/). Here are four common HVAC sounds that could keep you up at night. ## Squealing If your furnace is wailing like a banshee, it’s likely an issue with the motor bearing or fan belt. A ¼ horsepower motor operating at 1200 RPMs can make a racket if it’s not lubricated or the bearings are out of alignment. You should schedule an appointment with an HVAC technician right away because you’ll be without heat if the motor breaks down. ## Banging/Popping Those popping sounds aren’t gremlins crawling through your air ducts. Ducts expand or contract with changes in pressure. It’s generally nothing to worry about. But if you can’t live with the noise, you have a couple of options: - **Insulate your ducts:** Insulation will dampen the noise, but that’s just a side benefit. Duct insulation will minimize heat loss, helping your HVAC operate more efficiently. - **Replace your ducts:** Square ducts are most prone to pop. Circular flex ducts handle more pressure and are therefore quieter. ## Scraping Does your furnace sound like a deranged lunatic slowly dragging his ax across the floor? Blame the blower wheel. The blower wheel is responsible for moving large volumes of air through your ducts. The wheel can come loose and scrape against the casing. **Bottom line:** Properly functioning, an HVAC system should operate pretty much soundlessly. Any unusual noise should be investigated by a heating and air conditioning technician. To schedule your appointment, call [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](/) at.

Garbage disposals are great tools to help reduce the potential for drain clogs. They help protect your pipes and keep your sink running smoothly. Many people assume you can just throw anything in the garbage disposal, but this isn’t quite the case. So do you really need a garbage disposal? Keep reading for more information to help you make the decision. ### Pros #### Easier Dish Washing Garbage disposals add a layer of convenience to washing dishes and just using your sink in general. While you can’t put anything down the drain, a garbage disposal will be able to grind food and prevent it from clogging your drains. You don’t have to worry about your dishes being free from all food scraps, as the garbage disposal will take care of them. #### Pipe Protection The main intended benefit of a garbage disposal is that it prevents clogs and protects your drain pipes. Consistent food buildup can cause tough clogs, which can possibly lead to leaks or other damage. ### Cons #### Maintenance Like any other home appliance, garbage disposals require maintenance and can break or get clogged. Food can get stuck, the machine stops working, or foul odors may seep into your kitchen. Regular cleanings will prevent this from getting out of control, #### Restrictions As we said, you can’t put whatever you want into the garbage disposal. Although it helps with draining, it is not a replacement for your garbage can. You still need to take care to make sure items that will clog or corrode your pipes stay out of the drain. Avoid putting oil or grease down the sink, as they can attach to and corrode your pipes. Also keep out coffee grounds, stringy vegetables, starchy foods like pasta or rice, and eggshells. Whether or not you choose to go with a garbage disposal, taking care of your sink drains is a crucial part of homeownership. Consider whether a garbage disposal makes sense for your home habits and lifestyle, and always choose AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric for your [garbage disposal repairs and replacements](/plumbing/garbage-disposals/). **Contact** [**AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric**](/contact/) **today at [303-313-3333](tel:3033133333) for all your plumbing needs.

With many factors affecting how much you pay for this utility, it’s important to take action to reduce your costs. If you’re looking to save on your monthly expenses, you might be wondering how to reduce your sewer bill. Keep reading, as we have eight smart ways to do just that! ### What is a Sewer Bill? Before we talk about how to decrease your sewer bill, it’s important to understand what it is. A sewer bill is typically a monthly fee that covers your share of the cost of wastewater treatment in your area. The amount you’re charged depends on several factors, including your usage and the type of billing method your local municipality has in place. ### Why Is My Sewer Bill So High? There are several reasons why your sewer bill might be higher than you’d like. Firstly, if you have a large family or guests staying with you, your water usage is likely to be higher than an individual’s or couple’s, leading to increased sewage output. Secondly, if you have a leaky pipe, faucet, or toilet, you could unknowingly waste water and increase your costs. Additionally, if your local municipality has a seasonally adjusted sewer bill (which charges more during the summer months), you might see a spike in your statement during that time. ### 8 Smart Ways to Reduce Your Sewer Bill - **Fix Leaks**: If you have a leaky faucet or running toilet, have [a professional](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/) fix them immediately. This can save you considerable money over time and reduce your water usage. - **Use Water-efficient Appliances:** Consider investing in water-efficient appliances like dishwashers and washing machines. These use less water than older models and can help you save on both your water and sewer bills. - **Be Mindful of Water Use**: Simple habits like turning off the tap when brushing your teeth, taking shorter showers, and only running full loads in the dishwasher and washing machine can significantly reduce your water usage. This will not only help you save money, but it’s also an eco-friendly plumbing tip! - **Check Your Bill**: It may seem basic, but checking your sewer bill for errors or discrepancies can help you save money. If you notice an error, contact your local municipality to have it corrected. - **Install Low-flow Showerheads and Faucets**: Switching to low-flow showerheads and faucets can save you up to 50% of your water usage, which will reflect positively on your sewer bill. - **Collect Rainwater**: Instead of using your hose to water your lawn or garden, consider investing in a rain barrel. This way, you can collect rainwater for your plants rather than using treated water. - **Be Strategic with Landscaping**: Planting grass and other plants that require less water can help reduce your water usage and, therefore, your sewer bill. Additionally, adding mulch can help retain moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering. - **Request a Sewer Audit**: Some municipalities will conduct a sewer audit, which analyzes your water usage and its corresponding sewage output. This can help identify areas where you can save money on your sewer bill. ## Sewer Line Services in Denver Metro Area Reducing your sewer bill doesn’t have to be a complicated or tedious task.

From running your pond pump to your outdoor TV and other appliances, here are some outdoor wiring and safety tips to keep your yard aesthetically pleasing and safe at the same time. ### Safety First When it comes to your outdoor wiring, enlisting the help of a [professional electrician](/electrical/wiring/) is the safest way to keep your electric needs running this summer. Taking on the task of wiring your outdoor space on your own is complicated and dangerous. Without professional electrical wiring experience, it could be putting yourself at risk of electric shock. Hire a licensed electrician to avoid the following: - Faulty circuits - Poor wire connections - Overloaded circuits - Faulty grounding that could cause electrocution ### Extension Cords Extension cords can be long and cumbersome to set up and look ugly when in use. If you are temporarily running extension cords while outdoors, the following can help keep you and your family safe from electrical hazards: - Only use extension cords labeled for outdoor use - Keep extension cords away from the pool and other areas where there is water - Before plugging in, inspect all extension cords for fraying - Plugin extension cords where there is the least amount of foot traffic ### Hiding Outdoor Wiring If you have an outdoor TV and other appliances, wires can be easily hidden behind any fixture or furniture with cord clips. You can find inexpensive cord clips at your local hardware store. Cord covers and cord concealer kits are also a good option for long dangling wires. When it comes to installing outdoor electrical equipment, our highly qualified and trained electricians are fully equipped to handle the job!

These panels can be an eyesore for homeowners and detract from a room’s overall look and feel. However, simply ignoring it is not an option. Covering an electrical panel can be tricky because of the electrical wiring and breaker switch inside. But there are many creative ways to disguise the panel. Let’s explore ten creative ideas to cover your electrical panel. Whether you want to hide it completely or add decorative pieces around it, we’ve got you covered! Check out our ideas below to find the most suitable solution for your home. ### 1. Artwork One of the most elegant ways to cover your electrical panel is by hanging art or paintings on your wall. You can choose work that matches the décor of the room, and the electrical panel will simply blend into the background. Whether you prefer modern abstract art or vintage paintings, they are the perfect addition to any room and a great cover. ### 2. Curtains or Blinds If your electrical panel is located in an awkward or exposed area, consider hanging a curtain or blinds over it. Not only will it cover the board, but it also adds some character and texture to the wall. You can choose a solid color, a pattern, or a sheer fabric to dim the light while keeping your electrical panel hidden. And if this spot just doesn’t work out, an electrical panel upgrade may be in order. ### 3. Shelving or Cabinets If your electrical panel is in the kitchen or living room, you can create new storage space by building shelves or cabinetry around it. This not only provides you with extra storage but also camouflages the electrical panel while providing a functional feature to the area. ### 4. Chalkboard or Whiteboard For a fun and quirky solution, you can install a chalkboard or a whiteboard over the electrical panel! This lets you draw or write notes on it and hide your electrical panel. This solution is perfect for a kid’s room or home office. ### 5. Decorative Screens Decorative screens are an attractive and functional way to cover your electrical panel. These freestanding screens come in different materials, designs, and colors to match your home décor. Place it in front of the board to hide it while creating a stylish accent piece. ### 6. Plant Trellis Adding a plant trellis can achieve both functionality and decoration in one go. Use a plant climbing trellis to cover your electrical panel and add a touch of nature to your space—plus, adding indoor plants benefits the air quality of your home and creates a relaxing environment! ### 7. Custom Cover Custom covers are the best way to hide your electrical panel while maintaining easy accessibility. You can create them to match the existing wall color and pattern so it blends in seamlessly, and even add some decor or text for a personalized touch. Just make sure you’re keeping home safety in mind! ### 8. Photo Wall If you have a group of photo frames, you can create a photo wall around your electrical panel. This approach combines decor and a unique feature to cover the board while keeping it personal. ### 9. Bookshelf Similar to the shelving and cabinetry idea, installing a bookshelf is an ideal solution for covering your electrical panel. It provides storage for your books and hides the panel while bringing coziness and style to the room. ### 10. Mirror A mirror on the wall hides the electrical panel while doubling as a reflected image. This dual-purpose feature adds brightness to the room while creating a useful and decorative tool! #### Trusted Electrical Panel Upgrades in Denver Not sure how to get started with these electrical panel cover ideas or running into issues with your system?

With their ability to heat and cool efficiently, these systems offer significant benefits to homeowners. To make them more accessible, many energy providers, including [Xcel Energy](https://co.my.xcelenergy.com/s/residential/heating-cooling/heat-pumps), offer heat pump rebates. Here’s how you can qualify and maximize your savings with this energy-efficient upgrade. ## What Are Heat Pump Rebates? [Heat pump](https://www.aaatoday.com/heat-pumps/) rebates are financial incentives provided by utility companies to encourage the adoption of energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. Xcel Energy, for example, offers rebates to Colorado residents who install qualifying heat pumps. These rebates can help offset the cost of purchasing and installing a new system, making it a more affordable choice for homeowners looking to save on energy bills. ## Types of Heat Pumps Eligible for Rebates There are various types of heat pumps available, each tailored to specific needs. Understanding which one is best for your home and qualifies for rebates is crucial. ### Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) An air source heat pump (ASHP) transfers heat between your home and the outside air, offering an efficient way to manage indoor temperatures. To qualify for Xcel Energy’s rebates, the ASHP must meet specific efficiency criteria, including: - Minimum of 15.2 SEER2 - 11.7 EER2 - 7.8 HSPF2 Qualifying installations can earn a rebate of up to $4,000, significantly reducing the upfront cost. ### Cold Climate Air Source Heat Pump (ccASHP) For those in regions with harsher winters, the cold climate air source heat pump (ccASHP) is an ideal choice. These systems are designed to operate efficiently even in sub-zero temperatures. To qualify for rebates, the ccASHP must meet higher efficiency standards: - 18 SEER2 - 11.7 EER2 - 8.1 HSPF2 Eligible installations are rewarded with a rebate of up to $6,000. ### Mini-Split Heat Pump (MSHP) Mini-split heat pumps (MSHPs) are perfect for homes without ductwork or those needing temperature control for individual rooms. These systems require the following efficiency standards for rebates: - 15.2 SEER2 - 11.5 EER2 - 7.8 HSPF2 Homeowners who choose a qualifying MSHP can receive rebates up to $2,000. It’s worth noting that the additional rebates are bonus amounts, for a limited time only. ## How to Qualify for Heat Pump Rebates Qualifying for heat pump rebates requires careful planning and adherence to guidelines. Here are the key steps: 1. **Choose the Right Heat Pump:** Work with a professional HVAC contractor to determine which heat pump suits your home and climate. Ensure the system meets the efficiency standards outlined by Xcel Energy. 2. **Work with a Qualified Installer:** Hiring a licensed and experienced HVAC contractor ensures proper installation, which is a prerequisite for claiming rebates. 3. **Submit Your Rebate Application:** After installation, your contractor will help you complete and submit the rebate application, including all necessary documentation, such as proof of purchase and system specifications. 4. **Schedule an Inspection (If Required):** Some rebate programs may require a post-installation inspection to verify the system’s eligibility. ## Tips to Maximize Your Savings - **Combine Rebates and Tax Credits:** In addition to utility rebates, the federal 25C tax credits for energy-efficient home improvements are still available through the IRA (inflation reduction act), and can further lower the cost of your heat pump installation. - **Upgrade Your Home’s Insulation:** A well-insulated home works in tandem with a heat pump to maximize efficiency, potentially increasing your long-term savings. - **Explore Financing Options:** Many HVAC companies offer financing plans that allow you to install a heat pump with minimal upfront costs, spreading payments over time. ## Start Saving Today with Heat Pump Rebates Heat pump rebates are an excellent opportunity to make your home more energy-efficient while enjoying significant savings. Whether you’re considering an air source heat pump, a cold climate model, or a mini-split system, rebates from Xcel Energy can help you offset installation costs.

When it comes to sewer lines, the last thing you want to deal with is a backup or a leak. Your sewer line is responsible for removing all of your wastewater from your home, and when it has a problem, you know it right away. Not only does it create a big mess, but it can seriously disrupt your life. Depending on how serious the problem is, you may not be able to use a specific bathroom, or it may bring your entire plumbing system to a standstill. So, when disaster strikes, what do you do? Below, we look at a few common sewer line problems, how they can be repaired, and how to know when it is time to replace your sewer line. Keep reading to learn more. ### Common Sewer Line Issues A major sewer line problem that many people eventually deal with is corrosion of your sewer pipe. Corrosion occurs due to harsh, corrosive substances running through your pipe. This can include cleaning solutions and naturally occurring substances found in sewage. Corrosion can cause serious problems for your sewer line, including leaks, and if ignored, can eventually cause your sewer line to break or collapse. **Other common sewer line issues include:** - Blockages and clogs - Root intrusion - Buildup - Leaks and breaks - Shifting or sagging pipes - Collapsed pipes Some sewer line problems can easily be repaired, such as mild blockages and root intrusion. These problems are typically resolved through sewer line cleaning services. Larger issues, such as a leak or broken pipe, are more difficult to repair. Depending on the location of the problem and where your sewer line is on the property, a plumber may need to dig up your sewer line to access it and make the repair. This can be messy, time-consuming, and expensive. **Review our website to learn more about** [**common sewer line problems and their causes**](/drain-sewer/sewer-repair/)**.** ### How Hydrojetting Can Help To avoid major sewer line problems, it is always recommended that you schedule routine sewer line cleaning and maintenance. In particular, hydrojetting is a great method for keeping your sewer line clean and clear of buildup, blockages, and root intrusion. During a hydrojetting service, our plumber will shoot pressurized water through your sewer line, effectively scouring the inside of the pipe, removing clogs, and helping your sewer line drain freely again. Depending on the material your sewer line is made from, its age, and the configuration of your property, most sewer lines should be cleaned every two to three years. Consult with one of our experienced plumbers to find out the best schedule for your situation. Not sure when your sewer line was last cleaned? Schedule a sewer line camera inspection with us! We will send a camera into your sewer pipe and get a real-time look at its condition. From there, we can help you determine when you should schedule your next sewer line cleaning or hydrojetting service. ## What to Do When Repairs Don’t Cut It As long as your sewer line isn’t too damaged, typically, a repair is all you will need. However, in cases where the problem is severe, or the cost of a replacement exceeds the cost of laying a new sewer line, we will recommend a replacement. However, because sewer line replacements are so expensive, we always look for viable repair options first. **Signs you need a new sewer line include:** - Chronic sewer backups and leaks - Toilets back up frequently - Your drains are slow and gurgling - Flooding in your yard - The smell of sewer in and around your home Many people are nervous about replacing their sewer lines and put it off as long as possible. While it used to be that you had to dig a significant trench through your yard to access your sewer line and replace it, we now have [trenchless sewer line repair and replacement options](https://www.aaatoday.com/top-6-benefits-of-trenchless-pipe-repair/). If you see the signs that you need a new sewer line, you should reach out to our team to discuss your options and see if a trenchless sewer replacement will work for your situation. **AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric is here to help no matter what you need.** [**Reach out to our plumbers**](/contact/) **today to discuss your sewer line problem and how we can fix it.** **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [Does My Home Really Need an Ejector Pump?](https://www.aaatoday.com/blog/does-my-home-really-need-an-ejector-pump/) **Published:** June 21, 2022 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** ## How Ejector Pumps Differ from Sump Pumps We often hear, “I have a sump pump; do I really need an ejector pump too?” While these two pumps sound very similar on the surface, they actually serve two different functions. Therefore, depending on your plumbing system and your needs, you may need both appliances. However, before you run out and purchase one, keep reading to learn more about how ejector pumps work and some tips on determining if you need one in your home. A **sump pump** works to remove water from your home and is a great way to help prevent flooding, especially if your home or basement is below the water table. Meanwhile, an **ejector pump** works in tandem with your sewer system to remove sewage from your home. Like the sump pump, the ejector pump is usually installed in a sump basin in the lowest part of your home or basement. Because it involves sewage, it is also sealed to prevent sewage contamination from entering your home. **Review our blog to learn more about the differences between sump pumps and ejector pumps.** ### Why Ejector Pumps Are Important Not all homes need ejector pumps. Most plumbing systems are set up to utilize gravity to remove sewage from the house. However, if you have a basement with a bathroom or laundry room, or depending on the configuration of your home and property, you may not be able to rely on gravity to get the job done. In these cases, an ejector pump makes up for it and pumps the sewage out. ### Checklist: Do I Need an Ejector Pump? Determining if you need an ejector pump is fairly simple. Below we’ve provided a quick checklist to get you started. However, we recommend that you also speak with one of [our plumbers](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/) and have them inspect your property before purchasing one. **If you are considering installing an ejector pump on your property, review this checklist to determine if you could benefit from one:** - You have a finished basement with a bathroom or laundry room - Your basement bathroom or laundry room is situated beneath your main plumbing lines - You plan to add a bathroom or laundry room to your basement - You have had issues with sewage and flooding in the past Not all homes will require an ejector pump, even if you have a basement bathroom or laundry room. A new ejector pump can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand, depending on the type and size you purchase. This is why it is so important that you speak with an experienced plumber before making the investment. ## Ejector Pump Installation Process The first step in installing an ejector pump in your home is purchasing the right ejector pump for your specific needs. There are many makes and models on the market, and you must select the right pump for your needs to ensure that it is effective and works when you need it to. We always recommend speaking with an experienced plumber before purchasing. We also recommend that when purchasing, you work with the same plumber who inspected your property and who will be doing the installation. After you have purchased the correct ejector pump, you will schedule your installation. On installation day, you want to ensure the installation area is clear and ready for the plumber to get to work. Also, keep all children and pets out of the area to avoid accidents. If you already have an ejector pump and are just getting a replacement, they will remove the old pump for you. Otherwise, your plumber will prep the area, install the basin and pump, and finish by testing that everything is working correctly. **When working with AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric, we also ensure your ejector pump installation is up to local building codes and regulations.** Note down any questions you have for your plumber before, during, or after your installation. Installation day is a great time to ask questions and spend some time with your plumber learning how to operate your new ejector pump. If you have a question after we have left, just give us a call! We are always available to answer your questions. ### How to Select the Right Plumber to Install Your New Ejector Pump Once you’ve determined that you need an ejector pump (or you know your existing pump needs to be replaced), you will need to work with a plumber to have a new pump installed. If this is your first major plumbing project, you may not have a regular plumber to call. So, how do you choose a good plumber who will get the job done correctly and reliably? **Tips for choosing a plumber include:** - Look for a plumber who is local to where you live. - Search for local, legitimate reviews of your plumber online. - Check how long the plumber has been established in the local community. - See if they offer a customer satisfaction guarantee or any warranties on their work. - Does the plumber offer references for their work? - Have they received any awards or other recognition for their work? - Are they active in the local community? At [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](https://www.aaatoday.com/), we understand how difficult it can be to find a plumber you can count on. Our company has been working in the Denver area for nearly 40 years. We are well-known in the local community for our quality workmanship and our commitment to customer satisfaction.

Your AC doesn’t just cool the air by magic. There’s a fuel in the unit called refrigerant (or coolant) that is pressurized and moves throughout a closed system. Without it, you’d be blasting your home with warm air. But you’ll sometimes see suggestions about refilling or recharging your refrigerant in order to fix a lack of cool air. However, this isn’t a viable option. ### How Refrigerant Works Refrigerant is a chemical that sits in your AC unit. It is the main ingredient that absorbs heat and transforms it into cool air. The coils inside the AC system contain the refrigerant in a closed system. That means the refrigerant stays inside the coils and doesn’t leave unless there’s a leak. As warm air enters the coils, it is absorbed by the refrigerant and transferred over the coils. Then, the blower sends the air out through the vents, cooling your home. ### Why You Don’t Need a Recharge If you’re looking to add more refrigerant, it’s likely because your AC is not blowing cool air. It may seem like a simple solution, but it likely won’t solve your problem. Even if it does, it won’t last. **If all works properly, you should never need to refill your AC’s refrigerant.** Yes, it’s true! Many people confuse the refrigerant with fuel as you’d use in your car that needs to be refilled periodically. Since the refrigerant is in a closed system, it will never need a recharge unless there’s a leak. If your AC isn’t blowing cool air, call in a local HVAC technician to diagnose the problem. If there is a leak, they will plug the leak and then add refrigerant to bring the system back to normal. ### Exceptional Service for Your AC System At [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](/contact/), our technicians are ready to keep you cool all summer.

Our mailbag is overflowing with interesting queries from around the greater Denver area. Here are several of the most thought-provoking: ## Are Residential Urinals a Thing? “I’m a mom of four boys so, naturally, the toilet seat is always left UP! And their aim is WAY off! I’m thinking a urinal could be a solution but I’ve never seen one in a home. Are residential urinals a thing?” - Disgusted in Denver Every men’s room has one, so why not your bathroom? There’s no reason you can’t have a ballpark-style commode. In fact, some do! Keep in mind, your bathroom would need adequate wall space and a retrofit would require an additional vent, but it’s totally do-able. Plus, a urinal could go a long way toward resolving some of those bad bathroom habits. A fixture reserved for pee would end the “seat up” war and provide more surface area for those whose streams tend to go rogue. If those are reasons enough, then the urinal may be right for you. However, there aren’t many benefits beyond having an alternative to the conventional toilet. A urinal isn’t going to save you any water. It uses about 1.8 gallons per flush (gpf) compared to a dual-flush toilet, which uses as little as 1.28 gpf. Still, a urinal would be a unique mancave accessory. ## Is There a Better Way to Rinse Produce? “I’ll admit it, I’m one of those earthy Denverites! I frequent farmers’ markets, usually returning home with a truckload of fresh produce. I’m pretty diligent about giving veggies a thorough rinsing, but I’m wondering if I should be doing more given the pandemic.” - Healthy in Highlands Ranch You’ll be relieved to learn that there currently is no evidence that COVID can be transmitted via food, according to the CDC. Still, rinsing is a wise precaution, global pandemic or not. Raw vegetables and fruit may contain Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria, among other germs and pesticides that can make you sick. Follow these tips to step up your rinsing game: - Start by washing your hands with soap and water so that you don’t transfer germs to the produce - Rub fruits and vegetables briskly with your hands under cold, running water - For produce with a hard rind or skin, use a vegetable brush That’s it! Pretty simple. If you want a more abrasive method to blast germs off of your veggies, consider installing a pre-rinse faucet. This type of faucet features a high arc, flexible hose, and higher water pressure to make washing dishes a snap. They’re commonly found in commercial kitchens, but they’re becoming increasingly popular with homeowners. ## I Have Six Cats. How Often Should I Replace My Air Filter? “I’m not a crazy cat lady. Honest! I only have six cats because they keep adopting me! As much as I love my kitties, I’m finding that my air quality is suffering from all of the dander and fur. The instructions on my air filter say to replace it every 30 to 90 days. But my situation is unique. Should I replace it more often?” -Not a Crazy Cat Lady in Castle Rock That’s a lot of cats (No judgment!) but you can still maintain good indoor air quality. Replace your HVAC’s filter every other week if you want, but using a filter with a higher MERV rating might be a better approach. MERV is the minimum efficiency reporting value and it tells you how effective a filter is at trapping small particles. The MERV scale ranges from 1 to 16 — the higher the MERV the smaller the particle the filter can intercept. Most residential heating and cooling systems require a filter rated MERV 7-12. Because you have so many cats, we recommend a MERV at the higher end of the range. Filters with a MERV 11-12 are designed to remove pet dander and hair, as well as pollen and dust. A MERV higher than 12 isn’t necessarily better. In fact, the tighter pore will restrict airflow, forcing your HVAC to work harder. For extra protection, consider installing a whole-home purification system. This system works in conjunction with your central heating and cooling equipment to neutralize pollutants. Your air will improve dramatically and your cats might even appreciate it, too. On a separate but related note: You know you’re not supposed to flush kitty litter, right? ## Does Hard Water Ruin Coffee? “I’m a total coffee snob. Nothing but the finest French pressed brew gets past these lips. So, when I learned my home has hard water, my immediate concern was how a high concentration of calcium and magnesium was impacting my morning cup of joe. Does it compromise taste and quality?” -Brewing in Boulder Fear not, Brewing: hard water can actually produce more flavorful coffee. Magnesium helps extract those tasty compounds from your arabica beans. Conversely, brewing with soft water produces a pretty weak cup. [It’s science! ](https://www.dollarshaveclub.com/content/story/am-i-using-the-wrong-water-for-brewing-coffee) That is, unfortunately, hard water’s only benefit. Hard water is wreaking havoc on your expensive brewing equipment, plus it’s rough on your plumbing and water-using appliances. Hard water also makes it difficult to shower; you can’t work up a good lather with all those pesky minerals. And it’s making your clothes fade faster in the washing machine. A water treatment system will bring your water’s chemistry into balance and remove any impurities that may be tainting your java. **Bottom line:** Well, we learned a lot: Residential urinals are an option, don’t overthink washing your produce, opt for a higher MERV rating if you have lots of pets, and hard water has one minor upside for coffee connoisseurs.

Usually, this smell appears in hot water, which, naturally, means that it comes from your water heater. ## Why Does My Water Heater Smell Like Rotten Eggs? There are a number of different things that can generate this sulfuric, rotten egg smell in your water heater, but this odor is most commonly attributed to the presence of sulfate-reducing bacteria in your water tank, or a chemical reaction between your system’s magnesium anode rod and your water. If, however, this smell is present in both your hot and cold water, it’s likely coming from hydrogen sulfide gas in the groundwater below your house. Regardless of what the cause is though, no one likes smelling rotten eggs whenever they turn on the sink or step in the shower, so keep reading for the top five ways to get rid of the rotten egg smell in your water, courtesy of our experts at [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](/). ## How to Get Rid of Rotten Egg Smell in Water #### Flushing Your Tank Out Assuming you have a tank water heater, and not a [tankless system](/plumbing/tankless-water-heaters/), one thing that may get rid of that rotten egg smell is completely flushing the water tank out. As any skilled [water heater repair technician](/water-heater/repair/) will tell you, this should be done once or twice a year anyway, to help get rid of sediment and bacteria build-up. While flushing your tank out may not eliminate this rotten egg smell forever, it should at least give you some relief for a time, while helping your water heater run more efficiently overall. #### Using Chlorine You’re probably thinking right now that chlorine is the last thing you want to put in your water. And normally, you’d be right. But concentrated chlorination treatment, which involves adding a limited supply of chlorine bleach to your water supply, can actually help get rid of that rotten egg smell. - Once the chlorine has been added to your water supply, you simply let your water run until that rotten egg odor dissipates. - Just remember not to use your water for 24 hours after it has undergone concentrated chlorination treatment. The sulfuric smell in your water may also return months after you have completed the chlorination process, so this is not a long-term solution. For that, you’d be better off with… #### Replacing Your Anode Rod All water heaters come equipped with an anode rod. This [component](https://homeinspectioninsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/anode-rods-lg.jpg) reduces rust build-up in your water heater tank, allowing you to enjoy cleaner, better-smelling/tasting water. However, as we mentioned above, the chemical reaction that occurs between a magnesium anode rod and your system’s heating element can sometimes lead to bacteria build-up. While you should not remove your anode rod completely, as this means you will just be trading that rotten egg smell for rust, you may want to replace it with a different kind of anode rod. Aluminum anode rods are cheaper and tend to last longer than magnesium rods, although they come with their own set of problems since they deteriorate faster and can therefore contribute to sediment build-up in your tank and plumbing pipes. Fortunately, there are other cutting-edge anode rod options on the market that may prevent your heater tank from releasing this rotten egg smell and rusting faster. Bottom line—if your water heater is older, we highly suggest upgrading its anode rod with a modern model. #### Installing a Water Softening System If that rotten egg smell is not coming from your water heater but from your water itself, a better solution may be to install a [water filtration or water softening system](/plumbing/water-treatment/). - While these devices will not filter out all impurities from your water, they should help get rid of some of the bacteria that is causing the rotten egg smell in your water. - They will also help your water to taste and feel better, reducing spots on your laundry and dishes and causing less irritation in your skin and hair. - And as a final bonus, installing a whole-home water softener can even help your plumbing last longer, as there will be less sediment wearing down your pipes and fixtures. #### Replacing Your Water Heater If you have tried everything and the rotten egg smell coming from your water heater is still not going away, it may be time to consider upgrading to a new system entirely. Luckily, at AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric, we offer top-of-the-line [water heater installations](/plumbing/water-heaters/installation/) to ensure you get a replacement that works better and lasts longer. Contact our technicians today, and you can start enjoying better smelling/tasting/feeling water before you know it! **To reach our experienced water heater techs, call** [303-313-3333](tel:3033133333)**, or** [**send us a message online**](/contact/)**.** **Categories:** Uncategorized --- ### [5 Humidifying Houseplants to Combat Dry Indoor Air](https://www.aaatoday.com/blog/5-humidifying-houseplants-to-combat-dry-indoor-air/) **Published:** February 18, 2021 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** Certain species of houseplants can be tremendously helpful in adding a touch of moisture to your indoor air. And this time of year, you need all the water vapor you can get. Dry winter air can compromise your health and your comfort, so consider adding plants to humidify and brighten your space. When shopping for a houseplant, pay close attention to its transpiration rate. That’s the rate at which it absorbs water through roots and releases moisture through leaves. During a peak period of growth, a leaf can transpire many times its weight in water. ## 5 Plants That Add Moisture to the Air - **Spider Plant:** The green-thumb newbie can start with the spider plant. This is easy-to-care-for-plant features long, narrow leaves that produce spindly offshoots. Trim these “plantlets” and place the clippings into the soil. - **Areca Palm:** You won’t likely find a plant that produces as much humidity as the Chrysalidocarpus lutescens. This plant can release as much as 1 quart of water every 24 hours. A mature areca palm stands about six feet tall and features feathery, arching fronds. With proper care, it can live up to 10 years. - **Rubber Plant:** Technically a tree, the rubber plant can grow up to 8 feet tall. Be sure to allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. This tropical plant likes it warm, so try not to let your home’s temperature drop below 65°F. - **Peace Lily:** Not one for direct sunlight, the peace lily prefers medium to low light. Treat this flowering perennial right and you’ll be rewarded with a high transpiration rate and striking white flowers. - **English Ivy:** This one is a climber! The Hedera helix is a vining plant that can stretch across any surface or drape dramatically hanging from a basket. It thrives in medium light. Wait to water until the top inch of soil dries out. Caution: Some houseplants are toxic for pets. The English ivy, for example, can be poisonous for a cat or dog if consumed. Make sure that whatever plant you bring home is safe for your four-legged friends by [checking this list from PETA](https://www.peta.org/living/animal-companions/common-houseplants-poison-toxic-animals/). **AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric can help you maintain cleaner, healthier air with our comprehensive indoor air quality services.

For years, one of the most difficult problems with [issues in plumbing lines](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/repair/) is that plumbers couldn’t see the problem for themselves. Instead, all diagnostics were nothing more than educated guesses based on experience and a few simple bits of evidence that could point the way. If you had a clog in one of your drain lines, your plumber would have no idea where it was, what caused it, and what strategy would be the best for fixing it. If they absolutely needed to know, they could uncover your drain line by tearing into your walls and digging up your property, but this was expensive, time-consuming, and involved significant repairs. Today, all of those challenges are a thing of the past thanks to video pipeline inspections from the Denver plumbing team at [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](https://www.aaatoday.com/about/)! [Schedule your video pipe inspection](https://www.aaatoday.com/contact/) in Denver with the team at AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric!

This advanced and yet remarkably simple method has radically improved the quality of virtually all drain and sewer services. A video inspection machine feeds a small, highly sensitive camera into your drain or sewer line. The camera on the front of the line may be small, but it is still capable of sending back remarkably detailed images and valuable information to your plumber at the end of the line. In fact, most plumbing cameras are capable of sending back high-definition video for the clearest picture possible. This allows them to get a close look at exactly what is causing the problem in your line as well as where the problem may be. This completely eliminates virtually all guesswork from your plumbing problem—no more wondering what might be causing your issue, no more wondering how best to approach it, and no more wondering where the problem in the line might be.

Clogged drains can cause a myriad of issues as well as damage to the pipes itself. Pressure water jetting is one of the most effective ways to get your pipes clean, while removing stubborn debris. For the toughest of clogs, it’s best to call a [professional Denver plumber](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/) who has the equipment to clear the debris effectively. Turn to AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric for fast, same-day high-pressure hydro jetting service, with upfront pricing and clean, [courteous technicians](https://www.aaatoday.com/about/) – we’ll make you smile today! Contact AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric today to [schedule an appointment for hydro-jetting in the Denver area](https://www.aaatoday.com/contact/). ### What is Hydro Jetting? Hydro jetting is a [drain and sewer cleaning](https://www.aaatoday.com/drain-sewer/drain-cleaning/) method using ordinary water under various amounts of pressure. High-pressure water jetting can remove grease, detergents, dirt, sand and mineral deposits from sewer and drain lines. **We Use Our High-Pressure Sewer Water Jets To:** - Clear clogged drains, sewers and sanitary lines - 2″ to 6″ diameter sewer lines cleaned - Clear up to 200′ of pipe cleaned from one access - Remove tree roots and other obstructions and blockages from sewers High-pressure cleaning produces the best results and it’s a safe way to remove clogs. It’s better for your family and the environment since it’s a chemical-free process. If you have a clogged pipe, [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](https://www.aaatoday.com/about/) can help! We have the equipment and expertise to clear up your toughest drain and sewer problems. Get In Touch With Us [](tel:303-313-3333) 303-313-3333 [Schedule Online](#) ### Common Causes of Pipe & Sewer Line Clogs Here are common causes of clogs and how high-pressure water jetting can blast through leaving you in the clear. #### Hardened Scale Scale is hard water that has condensed into deposits. It consists of concentrated amounts of calcium, magnesium and other minerals. Hardened scale prevents the flow of wastewater. Hydro jetting can penetrate the toughest scale buildup. #### Grease Disposing of grease down your drain is never a good idea, and it can cause [blockage in your sewer line](https://www.aaatoday.com/drain-sewer/sewer-repair/). Fats and oils mixed with other chemicals in your sewer line is a recipe for pipeline clogs. High-pressure water jetting can quickly cut through grease clearing out the pipe for proper water flow. #### Tree Roots If you have trees planted near your home, you may have problems with sewer line blockages. Tree roots naturally seek out sources for water, so it’s not uncommon for them to make their way to your sewer line for a “drink.” Using the process of high-pressure water jetting can pulverize tree roots. Keep in mind that tree roots can grow back so you may need a hydro jetting service every few years. ### Why Choose Our Team For All Your Hydro Jetting Needs in Denver High-pressure water jetting clears and [unclogs drain and sewer problems](https://www.aaatoday.com/drain-sewer/).

Water pools around your feet in the shower, the kitchen sink empties more slowly than normal, or a bathroom drain starts making noise after every use. Over time, those minor issues can turn into stubborn clogs, unpleasant odors, or even sewer backups. AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric provides drain cleaning in Denver, CO, for homeowners dealing with clogged sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, and main sewer lines. Whether the problem is caused by grease buildup, hair, tree roots, soap residue, or years of debris inside the pipe, the team uses professional equipment to restore proper drainage and help prevent future problems. **Call 303-313-3333 or book online to schedule drain cleaning services in Denver or the surrounding areas.** *Same-day drain clearing guaranteed. We clear drains 7 days a week, 24/7, with no emergency or after-hours fees. Book your appointment today before 3 PM to guarantee same-day service.* Get In Touch With Us [](tel:303-313-3333) 303-313-3333 [Schedule Online](#) ## Common Signs Your Drain Needs Professional Cleaning Many drain issues build gradually before they become serious enough to stop water flow completely. Professional drain cleaning removes buildup inside the pipe instead of temporarily pushing the clog farther down the line. - **Water drains slowly:** Standing water in sinks, tubs, or showers usually means debris is narrowing the pipe. - **You keep dealing with clogs:** Frequent backups often point to buildup deeper inside the drain system. - **Your drains smell bad:** Odors coming from drains can be caused by trapped food, grease, sludge, or sewer gases. - **Drains make bubbling or gurgling noises:** Air trapped behind a blockage can create unusual sounds when water moves through the pipe. - **More than one drain is backing up:** Multiple slow drains may indicate a larger sewer line issue. ## Schedule Drain Unclogging Services in Denver Today Drain problems are not always caused by a simple clog near the surface. In many Denver homes, years of buildup can collect inside the pipe walls and restrict water flow over time. Older plumbing systems may also experience corrosion, root intrusion, or shifting sewer lines that contribute to recurring backups. AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric uses professional drain-clearing equipment designed to remove buildup safely and thoroughly. Depending on the condition of the line and the type of blockage, the solution may involve drain snaking, hydro jetting, or sewer line cleaning. For difficult clogs or recurring drain problems, the company may recommend a [video drain inspection](https://www.aaatoday.com/drain-sewer/video-inspection/) to locate the exact source of the issue. This allows the technician to identify root intrusion, pipe damage, grease accumulation, or collapsed sections before recommending repairs. For heavy buildup inside sewer lines, [hydro jetting](https://www.aaatoday.com/drain-sewer/hydro-jetting/) can clear grease, sludge, soap residue, and debris using high-pressure water. This service helps clean the inner walls of the pipe more thoroughly than standard snaking alone. ### Unclogging sinks, tubs, and floor drains Kitchen and bathroom drains collect debris every day. Grease, soap, hair, paper products, and mineral buildup can gradually reduce water flow until the line stops draining properly. Professional drain cleaning clears the blockage while helping protect the condition of the pipe. ### Shower drain cleaning Shower drains commonly clog from hair and soap residue. Chemical drain cleaners may offer a temporary fix, but repeated use can damage certain pipes over time. Professional shower drain cleaning removes buildup more effectively and helps restore normal drainage. ### Sewer line cleaning A backed-up sewer line can affect multiple drains throughout the home. Warning signs may include gurgling toilets, water backing up into tubs, or sewage odors near drains. Sewer line cleaning removes blockages and helps restore proper flow through the system. ## Why Homeowners Choose AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric Homeowners across Denver turn to AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric because the company provides experienced service, straightforward recommendations, and dependable scheduling. The team offers 24/7 emergency service, financing options, maintenance plans, and upfront pricing for plumbing services. Drain problems rarely improve on their own.

Arc faults are a leading cause of household electrical fires. Circuit breakers and ground fault interrupters do not protect you from dangerous electrical component arcing. So keeping the safety of people in mind, Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupters, or AFCIs, were introduced. These interrupters and breakers play an important role in protecting you and your home from fires hazards. For expert arc fault protection services in Denver, give our team of electricians a [303-313-3333](tel:3033133333)! ### How Do Arc Faults Cause Fires? Arc faults usually happen when there is a discharge of high-energy between conductors. This causes arcing or jumping between wires. Arcing faults make wires extremely hot and can ignite flammable materials around them. This problem is usually caused by [damaged electrical cords](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/repair/) of deteriorated wiring that has been pinched or pierced. Therefore, you should avoid using nails or staples to keep an extension cord in place. You must also make sure the cords of your appliances are not damaged. It only takes a single damaged or deteriorated wire to cause arcing, which can lead to a fire. Arcing can also happen if the insulation around wires has deteriorated. Regular circuit breakers are not designed to prevent arcing. Therefore, they cannot stop the arcing of electricity, thus causing a fire. However. since 2002, all newly built and old homes were required to install arc-fault circuit interrupters and breakers in bedrooms, main panels and in all home circuitry. Get In Touch With Us [](tel:303-313-3333) 303-313-3333 [Schedule Online](#) ### Why Should Arc-Fault Circuits Be Installed? Many people feel that ground circuit breakers and arc-fault circuit breakers have the same function. However, this is a common misconception. As mentioned earlier, arc fault circuit breakers prevent arcing between electrical circuits and wires, which cannot be done by any other circuit breaker. This is mainly because a traditional circuit breaker is only designed for [short circuits and overloads](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/surge-protection/), and thus does not offer any resistance to the erratic current that flows due to arcing. This is why it is important for homeowners to install arc-fault circuit interrupters and breakers. When an abnormality is observed by the breaker, the internal contacts of the arc-fault circuit interrupters trip, thus leaving the circuits blank of electricity. Therefore, this reduces the chances of an electrical fire. ### Professional Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter Installation At [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](https://www.aaatoday.com/about/), we install arc fault circuit interrupters that detect dangers like worn electrical wiring that can cause a spark or arc that can start an electrical fire. The arc fault breaker senses these arc faults and safely shuts down the electrical circuit. Our Denver electrical experts will inspect your home for dangerous wiring and check your arc fault interrupters or install them to make sure your [home’s electrical circuitry](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/) is safe and sound. **There Are Several Circumstances in Which You Could Benefit from Arc Fault Protection, Such As:** - In bedrooms to protect sleeping people - In older homes with aging electrical components - When you upgrade your home’s electrical panel In areas that get extremely cold, frozen pipes are a huge problem. The water inside the pipes freezes and puts extra stress on the pipes. This stress is sometimes too much for the pipes to handle and they burst. A blown pipe can cause your home to flood. The best bet is to insulate your pipes to prevent the issue. However, if it does occur, you have to get it fixed immediately. So, keep a lookout for the above-mentioned issues and have them repaired as soon as you spot them. ### Skilled Electricians Protecting What Matters Most ### How to Winterize Your Pipes When you need to be certain that your home’s electrical system is safe, our Denver electrical team at [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](https://www.aaatoday.com/about/what-to-expect/) is here to help.

Now that these electrical safety systems are required in homes, that rate has dropped to 200 or less. At AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric, your safety is our top priority, which is why we provide the most reliable, effective electrical repairs, replacements, and installations in town. To protect you and your loved ones against electrical shock and other hazards, we offer ground fault interrupter (GFI) services in Denver. Ground fault protection is required by law for good reason. Find out if your Denver home is properly protected by calling [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](https://www.aaatoday.com/contact/) at [303-313-3333](tel:3033133333) today. ### What Is the Purpose of a GFI? As you know, when water comes into contact with appliances that are plugged in, it can result in electrocution and damage to your property. GFI outlets are designed to protect people from electrocution and other electrical injuries. These electrical safety devices can detect when there is a variation in the electrical connection (usually caused by a ground fault). Once an interruption is detected, an internal switch is triggered and the flow of electricity is cut off from that outlet. For example, if you are using your hair dryer and it falls into a sink full of water, the GFI will cut off electricity from the outlet that the hair dryer is plugged into. You might still experience painful electrocution, but the GFI can prevent a prolonged surge of electricity, potentially saving you from serious injury or death. Get In Touch With Us [](tel:303-313-3333) 303-313-3333 [Schedule Online](#) ### What Is the Difference Between GFI & GFCI? Ground fault interrupters and ground fault circuit interrupters are actually the same thing. These systems are more commonly referred to as ground fault circuit interrupters, but the names are interchangeable. ### Where Are GFI/GFCIs Required? You can protect your family by making sure ground fault protection is installed in each at-risk area of your Denver home. These areas are often exposed to moisture from sinks, showers, hoses, tubs, and more, which increases the risk of electrical shock. **Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters Are Required by Code to Be Installed In:** - Kitchens where power is close to sinks and water - Bathrooms where power is close to sinks, showers, tubs, and other water sources - [Outdoor outlets](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/lighting/outdoor/) and switches exposed to water - Laundry rooms and washrooms - Garages exposed to wet conditions - Spas, hot tubs, and wet bars - Crawlspaces While there are plenty of spaces that should always have GFIs, there are a few areas you should avoid using these outlets. Our Denver electricians recommend never using GFIs with refrigerators or other large appliances because they could trip without you knowing. Then, next thing you know, your refrigerator has been out all day and your food is bad! At [AAA Service Plumbing, Heating & Electric](https://www.aaatoday.com/about/), our Denver ground fault circuit interrupter professionals are fully up to date on the latest codes and regulations.

A stuck float switch or a failing check valve can also force the pump motor to run continuously without discharging water properly. **How does intense summer sun on high-elevation roofs affect home air conditioning performance?** The increased UV intensity and thin air at higher elevations cause attics to trap extreme heat, which warms ductwork running through unconditioned roof spaces. This thermal load forces your air conditioner to run significantly longer cycles to cool the supply air passing into living areas. **Can installing a Level 2 EV charger overload my home’s existing electrical service?** A 240-volt Level 2 charger draws a heavy, continuous electric current that can easily push older 100-amp or 150-amp electrical panels past their safe capacity. A licensed electrician must calculate your total household electrical load to determine if an electrical panel upgrade is necessary prior to charger installation. --- ### [Johnstown](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/johnstown-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** Northern Colorado weather brings extreme seasonal shifts, from freezing winter snowstorms along the Front Range to hot summer afternoons near Pioneer Ridge and downtown Parish Avenue.

Bi-annual care helps optimize energy efficiency, lowers monthly utility expenses, and extends the operational lifespan of your equipment. **Why does my circuit breaker trip repeatedly when running multiple appliances?** A repeatedly tripping breaker indicates that the circuit is pulling more electrical current than it is rated to carry safely. Unplug heavy electronics from that line and schedule an electrical inspection to determine if a circuit split or panel upgrade is required. **What are the primary indicators that a main sewer line is obstructed?** Common indicators include multiple plumbing fixtures backing up simultaneously, gurgling sounds from floor drains, and water surfacing in tub basins when flushing a toilet. If these issues occur together, contact a professional plumber immediately to clear the main line. --- ### [Fort Morgan](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/fort-morgan-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** Located in the heart of Morgan County along the South Platte River, Fort Morgan experiences full seasonal variations, ranging from sub-zero winter blasts off the eastern plains to dry summer heatwaves reaching into the upper 90s.

Turn off the power switch immediately to prevent motor burnout, and clear the blockage safely using a hex wrench inserted into the bottom manual turn socket. **How does hard mineral scale buildup affect gas water heater efficiency in Eastern Colorado?** Dissolved minerals settle at the bottom of the water heater tank over time, forming a solid sediment layer between the gas burner and the water. This thermal barrier forces the burner to run much longer to heat the water, accelerating tank metal fatigue and increasing monthly gas bills. **What causes a furnace heat exchanger to crack, and why is it dangerous?** A heat exchanger typically cracks due to restricted airflow caused by dirty filters, which traps excess heat inside the burner chamber and stresses the metal. A cracked heat exchanger allows toxic combustion gases like carbon monoxide to leak directly into the supply air circulating through your home. --- ### [Windsor](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/windsor-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** Keeping your home safe and comfortable is a year-round priority in Northern Colorado.

If your water heater is over ten years old, shows signs of rust on the tank, or requires frequent repairs, replacement is usually the most cost-effective option. Additionally, a significant pool of water accumulating around the base of the tank indicates a structural fracture that cannot be fixed. #### What are the benefits of choosing a high-efficiency furnace for my home? Upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace significantly lowers your monthly energy bills by utilizing less fuel to heat your living spaces. These modern systems also provide more consistent heat distribution, run more quietly, and reduce your household’s overall environmental impact. #### Why do my circuit breakers trip when I use multiple appliances at the same time? Circuit breakers trip as a built-in safety measure when an electrical circuit becomes overloaded with more current than it can safely handle. This issue typically indicates that your home needs additional dedicated circuits or a complete electrical panel upgrade to manage your modern power demands. --- ### [Wheat Ridge](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/wheat-ridge-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** ## 24/7 AC Repair & Emergency Plumber Just west of Denver, Wheat Ridge sits in a unique position between the city and the foothills.

This movement can cause offsets or bellies in your underground lines, which is why we recommend a [video inspection](https://www.aaatoday.com/drain-sewer/video-inspection/) if you notice frequent clogs or slow drains. ### **Why is my furnace making more noise than usual during an extreme cold snap?** At our elevation, the thin air requires your [heating](https://www.aaatoday.com/heating/) system to work harder to circulate air. If you hear banging or whistling during a freeze, it often means the system is struggling with airflow, and a professional tune-up can ensure it is calibrated for high-altitude performance. ### **Does the hard water in our area shorten the lifespan of my water heater?** Yes, the mineral content in the local water supply often leads to sediment buildup in the bottom of your tank, which can cause the heating element to fail prematurely. Scheduling a [water heater repair](https://www.aaatoday.com/water-heater/repair/) or flush can help remove this sediment and extend the life of your unit. ### **Are whole-home surge protectors necessary with Westminster’s weather?** Given the intensity of the lightning during our summer afternoon thunderstorms, surge protection is highly recommended. It provides a vital defense for your [electrical panel](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/panels/) and sensitive appliances against the power spikes that frequently occur during Front Range storms. --- ### [Parker](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/parker-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** ## Local Home Service Company Whether we’re heading down Parker Road or navigating the quiet residential turns of Idyllwilde, we know this community by heart.

When combined with the heavy mineral scale from our local water, these shifts make it easier for debris to snag, eventually requiring a professional rooter service to clear. **How can I protect my pipes during a Douglas County cold snap?** It is vital to insulate any pipes in unheated areas like crawlspaces or garages. Because Parker can see temperatures drop well below zero, as noted in various [Town of Parker](https://www.parkerco.gov/) safety guides, we also recommend disconnecting all outdoor hoses before the first freeze to prevent ice from backing up into your indoor plumbing. **When should I consider replacing my AC unit?** If your system is more than 12 years old and requires frequent repairs to keep up with July temperatures, a replacement is often more cost-effective. Modern units are much better at managing the dry Colorado air and will significantly lower your monthly energy bills. --- ### [Northglenn](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/northglenn-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** There is nothing worse than coming home after a long day of work and realizing that a light won’t turn on, your appliances aren’t working right, or your heating is pumping out nothing but cold air.

These lines can become brittle over time, leading to cracks or complete collapses.

Without professional [heating installation](https://www.aaatoday.com/heating/installation/) or adjustment, a standard unit may lose efficiency and wear out faster than expected. ### Can the local soil in Loveland cause issues with my sewer line? Yes, the shifting soils and heavy clay content in the area can cause pipes to offset or crack over time. If you notice slow drains, it is important to schedule a [video inspection](https://www.aaatoday.com/drain-sewer/video-inspection/) to check for structural damage before a major backup occurs. ### Is it worth installing a tankless water heater in our climate? A [tankless water heater](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/tankless-water-heaters/) can be a great choice for Loveland homes as it provides endless hot water without the standby heat loss of a tank. However, because our incoming groundwater is very cold in winter, our experts can help you select a unit sized correctly for local conditions. ### What should I do if my electrical panel is frequently tripping during summer storms? Frequent tripping often means your system is struggling to handle the electrical load or that there is a fault in your [circuits](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/panels/circuits/). You should have a licensed electrician perform an [electrical safety inspection](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/repair/) to determine if a panel upgrade is necessary to protect your home. --- ### [Littleton](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/littleton-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** ## Littleton’s Local Home Service Company Since 1983 AAA Service trucks are a frequent sight parked along the residential lanes near Hudson Gardens and the historic downtown core.

This narrows the path for water, leading to a steady drop in pressure. A professional [plumbing](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/) inspection can determine if a partial or full repipe is necessary to restore flow. **How often should I service my AC given Littleton’s dry, dusty climate?** Littleton receives significantly less rainfall than the national average, which means more dust and debris can clog your outdoor condenser unit. Annual [AC tune-ups](https://www.aaatoday.com/air-conditioning/tune-ups/) are recommended to clean the coils and ensure the system doesn’t overheat during 90-degree summer days. **Can my older Littleton home support a new electric vehicle charger?** Most homes built before the 1980s were equipped with 60-amp or 100-amp service, which is often insufficient for the 40-amp to 50-amp draw of a Level 2 EV charger. We typically recommend an [electrical panel upgrade](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/panels/upgrades/) to ensure your home can safely manage the increased electrical load. --- ### [Highlands Ranch](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/highlands-ranch-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** ## Local 24/7 Home Service Company Stretching across the rolling terrain south of Denver, Highlands Ranch is known for its extensive trail system, family neighborhoods, and rapidly growing communities.

As the heating element warms the water, bubbles get trapped under the sediment and “pop,” which is a sign that the tank needs to be flushed or serviced to prevent damage. **How can I lower my cooling costs during a hot Thornton summer?** Ensuring your air filters are clean and your outdoor unit is free of debris is a great start. Additionally, Thornton can experience high afternoon temperatures, so using a programmable thermostat to adjust the cooling while you are away can significantly reduce your energy bills. For more information on local sustainability, check out the [Thornton City Hall](https://www.thorntonco.gov/) website. **Is it normal for my lights to flicker when the furnace starts?** This often suggests that your electrical panel is struggling to handle the initial surge of power required by the furnace motor. A licensed electrician should inspect your system to ensure your circuits are not overloaded and your home remains safe. --- ### [Lafayette](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/lafayette-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** Maintaining a comfortable, fully functional home is a constant priority throughout every shifting season in Northern Colorado.

If your system is approaching this age range or showing visible rust around the tank base, it is wise to consult a technician about replacement options. **What causes an air conditioning unit to freeze up during the summer?** An air conditioner usually freezes over due to restricted airflow caused by a heavily clogged air filter or a failure within the indoor blower motor. This issue can also stem from low refrigerant levels, which require professional leak detection and recharging to resolve safely. **Is it safe to reset a tripped circuit breaker more than once?** If a breaker trips immediately after you reset it, you should avoid flipping it again because it indicates an active electrical overload or short circuit. Leaving the breaker alone and contacting a licensed technician prevents damage to your appliances and mitigates severe electrical fire hazards. --- ### [Englewood](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/englewood-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** ## Your 24/7 Local Home Service Company We have spent decades navigating the residential streets of Englewood, from the blocks near the Gothic Theatre down to the quiet neighborhoods surrounding Belleview Park.

This movement can cause underground lines to sag or crack, which is why we often use [video inspections](https://www.aaatoday.com/drain-sewer/video-inspection/) to check for structural damage before a major backup occurs. ### **Why is my furnace making more noise than usual during an extreme cold snap?** At over 5,000 feet, the thinner air requires your system to work harder to move heat throughout the house. If you hear banging or whistling, it could be a sign that the system is struggling with airflow, and a professional [furnace service](https://www.aaatoday.com/heating/furnaces/repair/) can ensure it is properly calibrated for our elevation. ### **What are the benefits of a tankless water heater in our climate?** A [tankless water heater](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/tankless-water-heaters/) provides endless hot water without the standby energy loss of a traditional tank. While our groundwater is quite cold in the winter, we can help you select a unit sized correctly to handle the temperature difference efficiently for a home in Centennial. ### **Is it worth installing whole-home surge protection even if my power is stable?** Yes, because our region is highly susceptible to intense lightning strikes during summer afternoon storms. A [surge protection](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/surge-protection/) system provides a vital defense for your sensitive electronics and HVAC equipment against the subtle power spikes that frequently occur during Front Range storms. --- ### [Aurora](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/aurora-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** ## Top-Rated Installations, Repairs & Maintenance in Aurora, CO Since 1983, AAA Service Plumbing, Heating and Electric has been a trusted partner for HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services in Aurora.

Insulating vulnerable plumbing and scheduling preventive maintenance can help reduce seasonal issues. Why do some Aurora neighborhoods experience recurring sewer or drain problems?Areas with mature trees or older clay sewer lines, common in central and north Aurora, are more prone to root intrusion and line deterioration. A video inspection can confirm whether hydro jetting or sewer line repair is needed. Is AC maintenance more important in Aurora because of hail and summer heat?Absolutely. Aurora often sees intense summer heat along with occasional hailstorms that can damage outdoor AC units. Regular inspections ensure coils, fins, and refrigerant levels stay in good condition before peak cooling season. Do older Aurora homes require electrical upgrades?Many homes built in the 1960s to 1980s may have outdated panels or wiring that can’t support modern appliances, EV chargers, or upgraded HVAC systems. An electrical panel evaluation can determine whether replacement or circuit upgrades are recommended. Does Aurora’s water quality impact water heater performance?Aurora’s mineral levels can contribute to sediment buildup inside water heaters, reducing efficiency over time. Routine flushing or water heater repair helps maintain consistent hot water and prolong system life. --- ### [Fort Collins](https://www.aaatoday.com/service-area/fort-collins-co/) **Published:** April 6, 2025 **Author:** ferociousmedia **Content:** ## Top-Rated Installations, Repairs & Maintenance If you want your home to be functional and comfortable year-round, you need a go-to team for home services.

We specialize in [HVAC repair](https://www.aaatoday.com/heating/), ensuring your system is calibrated for the thinner air and dramatic temperature swings common in our area.

We recommend periodic inspections to catch these shifts before they lead to a complete line failure or basement backup. ### **Why is my furnace making a high-pitched whistling sound during cold snaps?** At our altitude, thinner air can cause your [heating](https://www.aaatoday.com/heating/furnaces/repair/) system to work harder, and a whistling sound often indicates a restricted return air vent or a dirty filter. If changing the filter doesn’t help, a professional tune-up can ensure your system is breathing properly for the elevation. ### **Is a backup generator really necessary for homes in this part of Colorado?** While the local grid is generally reliable, we are prone to high-wind events and heavy snow that can cause localized outages. A [whole-home generator](https://www.aaatoday.com/electrical/generators/) ensures your furnace and sump pump keep running, preventing frozen pipes and flooded basements during a storm. ### **What are the benefits of whole-home repiping over small repairs?** If your home still has aging galvanized or problematic plastic piping, [repiping](https://www.aaatoday.com/plumbing/piping-repiping/) provides a permanent solution to persistent leaks and low water pressure. It also increases your home’s resale value and gives you peace of mind that your plumbing won’t fail unexpectedly. --- ## Categories ### [Blog](https://www.aaatoday.com/blog/category/blog/) --- ### [Uncategorized](https://www.aaatoday.com/blog/category/uncategorized/) --- ## Services Type ### [Main](https://www.aaatoday.com/blog/services-type/main/) --- ## Service Areas Type ### [GBP](https://www.aaatoday.com/blog/service-area-type/gbp/) ---
