Question:
What does a BTU really mean?
Answer:
A ton of cooling is now defined as delivering 12,000 BTU/hour of cooling. BTU is short for British Thermal Unit (and is a unit that the British do not use) The BTU is a unit of heating - or in this case, cooling - energy. It’s more important, however, to keep in perspective that a window air conditioner is usually less than one ton. A small home central air conditioner would be about two tons and a large one about five tons.
Question:
How can I keep my what heater running longer?
Answer:
One way is to turn the power off on the unit. Connect a hose to water heater. Drain the water out. Open and close the inlet valve a ferw time to let that stuff settled inside come out.
Question:
How does gas destroy pipes?
Answer:
Gas does not have any effects on the gas line piping. The surrounding elements and the age of the pipe does. It is best to have a profesional plumber do a visual check to make sure all is well. Underground gas pipes, if installed properly, should be good for a very long time after installation. That being saids, if you own an older model home or industrial building, have them checked closely and often for corrosion or damage.
Question:
My dishwasher doesn't drain.
Answer:
Some water should be left behind after each wash. This is a normal thing. But, if you have an unreasionable amount of water left in the unit after a wash, check the drain / over flow oulet that is usualally next to your kitchen faucet. It might be clogged.
Question:
I cannot get hot water to come out of the faucet
Answer:
Wether it's a sink or shower faucet, it's probobly something that is happening inside the faucet that is worn. Most newer faucets can be repaired by replacing the cartridge inside. Even though you can go online and try to order the correct parts, it's confusuing to most do it yourselfers. Have your plumber fix it for you as this is typically a very inexpesive service call.
Question:
Q. Where are my cleanouts located?
Answer:
They can be located inside the house but are more often on the exterior of the house. You will need to carefully look at all sides to the house to find the sewer clean out because there could be more than one and they can be obscured by landscaping.
