These guys did a tremendous job replacing our HVAC system. It's surprising and refreshing to receive excellent customer service in this day in age. They were professional from top to bottom. \t\n\t\nMore importantly, my quality of life has improved since installing a new system. I suffer from a chronic lung problem and have had pneumonia twice this winter. The pollution that has been removed from our home has been incredible. My breathing has improved dramatically. \t\n\t\nI strongly and whole-heartedly recommend this company if you're looking to replace your HVAC system.\t\n\t\nThis endorsement is my own without renumeration. I just like their service and quality of work. I waited 2 months to write this post I could better experience the HVAC system. ...read more

I was very impressed with Mullin Plumbing. I called them about a small gas leak in my upstairs furnace area. They came when scheduled and spent a reasonable amount of time on the problem. I was charged a very reasonable fee and was very satisfied with their service. I will call them again if necessary for any new problems. ...read more

A common problem we currently see in homes are complaints about having to wait fooorrrreeeevvveeerrrr for hot water. Unfortunately, it does take far too long to get hot water at certain faucets or showers in our customers’ homes. They turn the faucet on and wait. And wait. And wait. We have seen it take as long as 12 minutes in some cases. The problem is particularly apparent during the colder winter months. A customer told me the other day that their normal morning routine is to turn the hot water on at their shower, and then brush their teeth. By the time they finish brushing their teeth, most of the time the water is hot. That seems like a ton of wasted water, don’t you think? Want to know how much exactly? Well, let’s assume that the average shower head uses about 2.5 gallons of water per minute. Then, let’s say they brush their teeth for 4 minutes. That’s 10 gallons of water wasted BEFORE they even get in the shower!! Is this happening at your home? Do you want to know why? The problem is the source of the hot water, your water heater, is normally soooo far away from certain faucets that it takes time for the hot water to actually make it to the faucet. You will notice the problem the most at faucets that are the furthest away from your water heater. Ideally, when your home was built, the builder would have had a recirculating line installed. This is an additional hot water line, installed from your water heater to each faucet and then back to the water heater in one big circle. A pump is installed at the water heater and pumps hot water to all of your faucets, even when no one is using them. This way, once you turn on any faucet, the water is instantly hot. That’s great and all, but many homes didn’t have a recirculating system installed when their house was built. So now what? Infinity Plumbing Services currently has a product that works very similarly to a recirculating system. Called aComfort System, this can be installed in your home with your existing system. Basically, we install a pump at your water heater and a mixing tee at the furthest faucet from your tank (or whichever faucet is the most inconvenient to have to wait on for hot water). On a timer, we can program the pump to turn on anytime you want. Let’s say every day you wake up at 6:30 a.m. and are ready for a hot shower. We program the pump to come on at 6:15 a.m. so the water in the pipes is hot and ready for you. We can also program it to turn off when you aren’t home, or no longer need instant hot water. The pump can be programmed to be turned on or off multiple times throughout the day. Ready for instant hot water?

Did you know that 40% or more of your home’s energy loss is due to air leakage? The walls in your home are the main structural component of the building. In wood frame construction, the weight of the roof, shingles, standing rain water and snow can add weight and exert a downward force on the walls resulting in compression. Strong winds and gusts from storms impose lateral forces on the walls of your home. These forces can distort the walls with what is called a “shearing force.” Building codes require that the walls of your home be designed to withstand these various forces and loads. However, when walls are built to just the minimum standards, while still safe, symptoms of movement such as creaking and shaking during high winds or occupant usage can still occur. Building envelopes with increased insulation levels are becoming standard practice. Homebuyers are increasingly involved in the selection of building products used to construct their homes. The rising cost of energy and the discomfort associated with allergies, asthma, mold and noise pollution have created a demand for products that exceed traditional insulation performance. For these reasons, there is no better home insulating material than Spray Foam Insulation (SPF). SPF insulation can seal your home from air and moisture intrusion, save on costly utility bills, strengthen your home and can help protect your family’s health from dangerous molds. Higher density, closed cell spray foam insulation inside your stud walls fully adheres to--and reinforces--both the exterior sheathing and the studs. With this added support, there will be less wall movement due to wind, vibration and occupant activity. Additionally, your walls have greater than code required resistance to “racking events” such as hurricanes, tornadoes and other strong wind situations.SPF insulation plays multiple roles to improve the performance of the building envelope. Spray foam technology expands 120 times its initial volume, sealing all voids, gaps and crevices. SPF insulation is the perfect fit to fill cavities of any shape, provide and continuous, protective air barrier that practically eliminates air leakage.Air moves in and out of a home through every hole, crack and seam, allowing one third of all air to seep into your home. The Department of Energy reports that heating and cooling (space conditioning) account for 40-60% of the energy used in the average American home. SPF open-cell insulation helps to maintain and comfortable indoor climate while using less energy. The application eliminates unwanted air and heat exchange and decreases the amount of moist air that leaks through the house, reducing the adverse effects of mold and mildew growth on the inside walls and ceilings. Basic benefits of SPF insulation are: Stops air and moisture infiltrationMakes your home more comfortableSaves on energy costsAdds strength to the building structureIt is permanent and will not sagKeep dust and pollen out of your homeEliminates ice dammingImproves air qualityReduces capacity requirements, maintenance and wear of HVAC equipmentMeets all building codes Construction Benefits: HVAC equipment downsizing: Installing SPF insulation to the room underside creates a semi-conditioned space for air handling units and ductwork to operate more efficiently. Tightening the building envelope allows for HVAC equipment downsizing, which means savings for you!Flexibility in framing: High R-value allows for stud and rafter size reduction to increase living space.Simple installation: Eliminates steps for air barrier and vapor barrier installation where permitted by code. Stand out from conventional homebuilders by adding Spray Foam insulation to your construction project.

At Elite Service Company, we know that unexpected repair bills can be frustrating. Much like a car, a house requires routine attention and maintenance to its HVAC components to assure long life and provide you with peace of mind. You can protect your system, extend its life, and save money on your energy bills with a regular maintenance schedule. With a preventative maintenance checkup from Elite Service Company, we provide not only service for your heating and cooling equipment, but also assurance that your system is functioning properly. Another perk of planned maintenance is that your energy savings over a year's time will normally outweigh the actual cost of the maintenance, itself! Routine maintenance will prevent potential problems from becoming major malfunctions with the system and save you money by restoring efficiency, limiting inconvenient breakdowns and extending the life of your system. You can ge the same maintenance without a service agreement, but it costs more. With a service agreement, you receive a 10% discount on any repairs. With a planned maintenance agreement, you also save on emergency and afterhours service. You might be wondering why your system needs to be serviced twice a year. It's simple! Your system needs to be serviced before the start of each heating and cooling system. Different maintenance procedures are perfomred for your cooling system than for your heating system. Because your comfort system works so hard during the year, a number of components need adjustment, calibration, lubrication and cleaning each year. Your system will still work for a time without maintenance, but not as efficiently. Some of the checks performed during a planned maintenance visit are to identify and stop small problems that could become larger problems later, while some are to verify safe operation.
