    Has your basement (or crawlspace) flooded?

    It’s the worst feeling, to step down into your basement and feel the “squish” between your toes. If your basement is finished, it is a heart-sickening feeling. Sump pumps fail for many reasons – from power outages to age and even lack of use. A good, hardy, professional-grade sump pump is a must and should be replaced (at a minimum) every three to five years to avoid the “squishy” experiences. Hagee Plumbing can replace these for you.

    Is your sump pump constantly running?

    This is because it’s on its last leg. Sump Pumps don’t like to run dry. If it is running when there is no water in the sump pump pit, this is usually associated with a “switching” problem. Depending on your sump pump, the switch can either be repaired, adjusted, or replaced. The sump pump experts at Hagee Plumbing can evaluate the plumbing problem and make sure that your sump pump is working properly.

    Sump Pump Repair for Switching Problems
    Would you like the added security of a backup system?

    Let’s face it, how many times do we go into our basement and check our sump pumps? Sump pumps by nature, fail at the worst time. A flooded basement or crawlspace can cause thousands of dollars of damage. Big screen TVs can be replaced. Floating family heirlooms, not so easily. There are different types and styles of backups to choose from, such as battery backups, AC/DC backups, all-in-one sump pump systems and water-powered backups. Hagee Plumbing can help you determine what the right system is for your home. Give yourself that added security and peace of mind by protecting your home and family possessions with a professionally installed backup sump pump system for less than you think.

    Is your basement bathroom not draining properly?
    Most basement bathrooms have a sewage ejector (aka “lift station). Basement bathrooms are lower than the house main sewer line. A sewage ejector is used to “lift” the basement bathroom water and waste up into the house main sewer line to flow out into city sewer system or septic tank. If the sewage ejector is not working properly, the basement bathroom toilet, sink or shower will not drain properly, if at all. An inspection of the ejector by Hagee Plumbing will reveal the problem. It’s a yucky job, but somebody’s gotta do it!

    Sewage Ejection Pump Repaired, Adjusted or Replaced
    Is your sewage ejector constantly running?

    Similar to a sump pump (see above), sewage ejectors don’t like to run dry. If it is running when there is no water in the ejector pit, this is usually associated with a “switching” problem. Depending on your sewage ejector, the switch can either be repaired, adjusted or replaced. The sewage ejector experts at Hagee Plumbing can evaluate the problem and make sure that your ejector is ejecting the way it should.

    Is there a strong smell of sewage coming from your sewage ejectors ?

    This is not a pleasant smell, we know, but easily remedied. It could either be that the pit has a vent problem or the sewage ejector pit seal has decayed or has been breached. All of which Hagee Plumbing can assess and provide the right solution.

    Poorly Functioning Air Conditioners Result in Higher Energy Bills

    No Comments

    Is your air conditioner working properly?

    Every year, we get thousands of calls from customers who need help with air conditioner repairs or installation. We understand the importance of feeling comfortable in your home, and the right air conditioning setup can make a major difference.

    How Does Air Conditioning Work?

    Most people think that air conditioners simply lower the temperature in their home by pumping cool air in, but in reality, the process involves removing warm air from your house and cycling it back in as cooler air. In fact, think of your air conditioner as a refrigerator without the insulated box, since it uses the evaporation of a refrigerant to provide cooling.

    Air Conditioning Options

    Air conditioners aren’t one size fits all, and an improperly-sized air conditioner can result in poor performance and high energy bills during the cooling season. At One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning services, we offer in-home assessments to determine why your current AC system may not be functioning the way it should. If a replacement system makes more sense than a repair, we’ll be in the best position to recommend the right unit for your space and needs.

    Furnace Repair For Residential and Commercial Furnaces

    No Comments

    When it comes to repairing and maintaining your furnace, you can count on the team at Hagee Plumbing. A furnace is a major appliance whose job is to provide heat to an interior space through air, steam, or hot water. The most common fuel source for modern combustion furnaces in the United States is natural gas. Other common fuel sources include propane, fuel oil, coal or wood.

    We can install or repair the following types of furnaces:

    • Central Warm-Air Furnaces
    • Forced-Air Furnaces
    • Gravity Furnaces

    How does a furnace work?

    Our Furnace Service Evaluates Each Area of Your Furnace
    The furnace is typically divided into three primary components:

    The burner, which includes the heat exchanger, draft inducer and venting. Here, a flame is drawn into the heat exchanger by the negative pressure produced by the draft inducer. The hot gasses produced by the combustion of the flame pass through the chambers of the heat exchanger, heating its metal walls. The gasses cool as they transfer the heat to the heat exchanger and then enter the draft inducer blower to be pushed into the venting pipes. The exhaust gasses are then directed out of the house through the vent pipes.
    The blower, which creates a negative pressure on the intake side. This draws air into the ductwork return air system and blows air out through the heat exchanger and then into supply air ductwork for distribution throughout the home.
    The controls and safety devices, which include a gas valve, ignition control, igniter, flame sensor, transformer, limit control, blower control board, and flame roll out switch. A safety system must be in place to stop the flow of gas if the furnace ever overheats.
