A call for no heat on an older high efficiency boiler showed that it was not repairable. Only option was to change it out. That brand no longer existed so we and customer came to a conclusion that a Crown Phantom 93% boiler is the best solution to the problem. We were able to install it next day and every one was happy. Below is the picture of the boiler as well as a voicemail from the family that are now very happy campers.

In 1992 there was an international environmental agreement that required worldwide phase out of HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) due to their harmful impact on the ozone layer. HCFC-22 (also known as R-22, also known as Freon) has been the go to refrigerant for residential air-conditioning systems for over four decades. Unfortunately, releases of R-22, as those from leaks, contribute to ozone depletion. In addition, R-22 is a greenhouse gas and the manufacture of R-22 contributes significantly to global warming. As the manufacture of R-22 is being phased out as per agreement to end production of HCFCs, manufacturers of AC systems are offering equipment that has ozone-friendly refrigerants. Over the last several years the price of R-22 has increased exponentially while prices of the more popular and ozone friendly R-410a has dropped down.
If you have a system that is leaking you will definitely notice that it is getting increasingly more expensive to fill it up. It is also very bad for the environment. There are two choices that we see fit, either fix the leak or replace the equipment. Do the environment and your wallet a favor and get to the core of the problem. If your equipment has failed and you are considering replacing it ask for the new R-410 refrigerant. If you have any questions please call Affordable A-Jay Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning. We’ll be happy to hear from you.

Does your home not have air conditioning and/or have an area of the house where ac air does have access to? You’re considering having ac put in but building ducts creates a project that is too costly and or too messy? You may want to consider ductless air conditioning. Ductless ac works the same as regular central air but more localized in a way like baseboards do in heating. Each area is its own zone with a thermostat that will regulate that area only. The units are hung on a wall and are super quiet.
For example Mitsubishi, they offer many Energy STAR models with efficiencies going up as high as SEER 26. Their indoor units have a sleek modern look, are quiet and have multi-allergen filtration that also eliminates or reduces odors. The outdoor units are able to handle several zones simultaneously and are so quiet you can’t tell if they’re on or not.
These units are eco friendly since they use less energy and use a refrigerant that has a significantly less impact on the environment.
If this is something that you are considering, please give us a call for a no obligation free estimate.

In case of emergency you and every one in your household must know basic response to water, sewage and gas leakage. First off, locate and label main water and main gas shut off valves. Test the valves for operation. Just because the valves are there it doesn’t mean that they’re fully functional. If found that they are not operational immediately call your local plumber to address the issue. Next educate every one in the house on how to turn each off and on.
In case of water leak emergency, shut off main water and open faucet on the lowest floor to drain house. Call a plumber to attend to the issue.
If you smell gas in an area and suspect a possible gas leak you should immediately call your utility provider’s emergency service line (in Rockland it’s Orange and Rockland 877-434-4100). If you feel comfortable you can turn the gas main off to stop the leak until a professional arrives. They will provide a free test to check for leaks and are most likely be able to point out the exact location of the leak. Next you must call a local plumber to fix the problem.
If you have a backup in the drain line, you should find out if it’s a small local drain blockage or it is a main drain issue. If all drains are going down slow and the lowest drain in the house continuously overflows then it most likely a main drain issue. In this case you must stop using any and all water until problem is addressed. If all drains work properly except one or two local drains i.e. bathroom, then it’s an isolated drain issue. In this case restrain from using just the affected fixtures. Call a local plumber or sewer specialist.
By following these procedures you will be able to keep the house safer and save money by stopping the damage from going further than necessary. Please feel free to call us with any questions and or concerns, we provide free estimates and have 24-7-365 emergency service. We can address all these issues for you swiftly and affordably.
