Yes. Annual flushes and filter checks keep the system running efficiently and protect the warranty.

Imagine stepping into a perfectly cooled room, a haven from the sweltering Charleston heat. This comfort is courtesy of Mitsubishi mini splits and their ingenious ductless air conditioning systems. Here's how these marvels of modern engineering keep you cool:

The magic begins with a compressor transforming refrigerant gas into a high-pressure form. As this happens, a robust fan dissipates heat outdoors, setting the stage for the real transformation. Once the refrigerant enters the compressor, it changes from a gas to a liquid, thanks to the expansion increasing its pressure. This liquid refrigerant, now at low pressure, journeys to the evaporator coils, where the true cooling magic happens.

In the evaporator, the liquid refrigerant cools down significantly. This drop in temperature allows it to absorb indoor heat efficiently. The cooled air, now refreshingly brisk, is then circulated throughout your home by the internal blower, ensuring every corner is as comfortable as the next.

This cycle repeats multiple times, creating a continuous flow of low-pressure gas. This gas makes its way back to the compressor through a suction line, ready to begin the cooling process anew.

At ClimateMakers, we don't just offer Mitsubishi mini splits; we deliver superior cooling solutions as a proud Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Dealer. This distinction means we bring you the best in efficiency, technology, and comfort. Whether it's a sleek Mitsubishi mini split 9000 BTU unit for a single room or a powerful 36000 BTU multi-zone system for your entire home, we've got you covered.

It is essential to have an HVAC system that keeps your home comfortable all year long. If you have detected reduced airflow, hot or cold spots in your home, the need for repeated repairs, or other comfort issues, it might be time to think about replacing your HVAC system.

There’s an easy way you can check to see if you have a water leak in your home. Head on out to your water meter and make a note the level. Let everyone in the house know not to use any water for a couple of hours, then go back to the meter and check it again (it’s usually best to do this when everybody goes to bed, so you can check it again first thing in the morning).

You probably have a leak if the level has changed. If this is the case, call ClimateMakers and let us take care of the leak right away!

By installing a new - more energy efficient - HVAC system, you could save up to 30% on your energy bills. In addition to installing a new HVAC system, you can improve your indoor air quality, boost your home's environmental efficiency, and keep your home comfortable for years to come.

Regarding tankless water heaters, there are very few situations in which they will not work (we can discuss your options). Most will work in areas where conventional storage tank water heaters would not. A good number of tankless water heaters are about the size of a briefcase and require about 120V, 60Hz and 3 amps of power – requirements most houses meet. Another very important factor is that tankless water heaters can help save you money on your water and electricity bills.

All water heaters come with a label on it known as a “rating plate” that has a lot of the water heater’s information, including the model and serial number of the water heater. Although it does not directly show the age of the water heater, we use the serial number to help you establish the month and year of your water heater unit.

High pressure developing from your water heater can create a leak in your relief valve. There are a couple of reasons for this:

Water pressure that comes from the main water line is too high.

Thermal expansion (water that increase in volume when it is heated) causes a build up in pressure.

The easiest way to deal with a leaky relief valve is to call ClimateMakers to replace it!

Even here in the Lowcountry, when it gets really cold outside, the water that comes into your home is much colder. This affects the hot water in your tank and it loses lots more heat when it combines with the incoming cold water. You also might have an accumulation of sediment in your tank that’s reducing your water heater’s performance.

Your toilet may be leaking silently. Here’s how to tell:

Put a few drops of food coloring into the toilet tank and make sure no one uses that toilet for about a half hour. Once the half hour is up, come back and check if any of the food coloring leaked into the bowl. If it has, call ClimateMakers for toilet repair as soon as you can!

There’s an easy way you can check to see if you have a leak in your home. Head on out to your water meter and make a note the level.

Don’t run out and buy a new garbage disposal yet! There are a few things that can cause a temporary disruption in your garbage disposal performance. First, turn off the disposal; disconnect it from the power and check to see if something is blocking it – a spoon or any other hard object. If you don’t find anything, plug it back in and see if pressing the RESET button fixes the issue. Finally, check the breaker switch in your breaker box. If all else fails, call ClimateMakers!

Research shows to think of heaters like light switches – they are either on or off. Regardless of how high you click up your thermostat, it will take the same amount of time to warm your home.

Duct tape is good at a lot of things, but when it comes to solving your heating needs, it will fail. Ducts are often very dirty and dusty, and duct tape cannot stick in dusty environments. If you are having problems with your ducts, call a home heating professional.

No. This is due to the same “light switch” concept as above. If it is running, it is using energy and costing you money. In the winter, you can keep it around 68 all day and then at night, set it lower. This may actually save you money.

This might be true if electricity were not so expensive and inefficient. Using an electric space heater might cost three to five times what it costs to heat your home with a gas furnace.

Yes! While ceiling fans do a great job cooling you in the hot summer months, they can also be used in the winter. If you make your fan go clockwise, you can force down the warm air and make your home feel warmer without cranking up the furnace.

Yes, however, they are very low maintenance. They need an annual or a bi-annual flush to remove sediment related to lime scale build-up.

With a regular water heater, it is recommended that you drain it and flush sediment buildup from the tank at least once a year. Sediment in your tank can affect hot water quality and also reduce efficiency because the layer of buildup insulates the burner from the water.

Generally, a traditional tank style water heater will last, 10-15 years, on average. Tankless water heaters will last 20-25 years. This is largely due to the fact that they have easily replaceable parts that extend their life by many more years.

Depending on what size storage tank you have now, which model of tankless water heater you purchase, and whether it runs on gas or electricity, you could save from 5% to 69% off your hot water heating bill. How? Most homes use hot water for a total of around one hour per day, but they normally keep at least 40 or 50 gallons of water hot 24 hours a day – every day. Owning a system that removes the storage and heats water only as you use it can significantly reduce your energy consumption.

The life expectancy (or useful lifespan) of a Rinnai tankless water heater is up to 20 years. Actual life is impacted by water quality, usage and proper maintenance. For comparison, a tankless water heater lasts about twice as long as a tank water heater, making them a better value in the long run.

Rinnai tankless water heaters produce an endless supply of hot water, take up less space, have a lower risk of leaking, are safer, and have a significantly longer lifespan on average. The main disadvantage of tankless water heaters is their upfront cost (unit and installation) is significantly higher than tank-style heaters.

Owning a system that removes the storage and heats water only as you use it can significantly reduce your energy consumption.

For most people, a comfortable setting is about 120 degrees Fahrenheit. Manufacturers use this number as a pre-setting for many new water heaters. For older models, setting the thermostat to medium should do the trick.

If your hot water keeps running out much faster than it used to, your home is likely in need of water heater repairs. Your water heater could have a broken dip tube, which should prevent cold and warm water from mixing in your tank. Another possible problem could be that the lower heating element in your electric water heater has failed. While some of these issues can be fixed with repairs, it may be necessary to plan for a new water heater installation in the near future.

Slow wait times generally have to do with the plumbing in the home and are rarely cause for concern. Ranch-style houses tend to have longer pipelines, which means it takes longer for warm water to reach the faucet. You might need to call plumbing or sewer line repair services to alter your home’s water circulation system to remedy this issue.

A continuously running toilet is usually caused by a faulty flapper valve, which is responsible for sealing the tank after each flush. Over time, the flapper can become warped or coated with mineral deposits, preventing it from sealing properly. This can cause water to constantly leak from the tank into the bowl, leading to a running toilet. Fixing a running toilet often involves replacing the flapper, adjusting the float, or tightening the chain attached to the flapper. Addressing this issue promptly can help you avoid water waste and high utility bills.

A sudden increase in your water bill is often the result of a hidden leak, typically in a toilet, faucet, or underground pipe. Toilets are the most common culprits due to silent leaks from worn flappers or fill valves. Other potential causes include dripping faucets, irrigation system leaks, or a malfunctioning water heater. Detecting hidden water leaks early can prevent further water waste and higher costs. It’s advisable to contact a licensed plumber to perform a thorough inspection and identify the source of the leak.

Frozen pipes can cause significant damage, leading to bursts and costly repairs. To prevent pipes from freezing, insulate any exposed pipes, especially those in unheated areas like basements, attics, or garages. During extremely cold weather, allow faucets to drip slightly to keep water moving and reduce pressure. Additionally, maintaining your home’s thermostat at a consistent temperature and opening cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around pipes can help. If you suspect a pipe is at risk of freezing, a plumbing professional can offer solutions like pipe insulation or heat tape.

In the event of a major water leak, the first step is to immediately turn off the main water supply to prevent further flooding and damage. The main shutoff valve is usually located near the water meter or where the main water line enters your home. After shutting off the water, call an emergency plumber to assess and repair the damage. While waiting for the plumber, you can mitigate water damage by moving valuables, using towels or buckets to catch water, and avoiding the affected area if there’s a risk of electrical hazards.

While chemical drain cleaners can provide a quick fix for minor clogs, they are generally not recommended due to the potential damage they can cause to your plumbing system. These harsh chemicals can corrode pipes, especially if used repeatedly, leading to more significant plumbing issues over time. Additionally, they can be harmful to the environment and your health. For persistent clogs, it’s better to use a plunger, a drain snake, or call a professional plumber for safe and effective drain cleaning services.

Running out of hot water frequently can be caused by a few issues, such as a water heater that’s too small for your household’s needs, sediment buildup in the tank, or a malfunctioning heating element. Water heater maintenance is essential for ensuring consistent hot water supply. Flushing the tank to remove sediment, checking the thermostat settings, and replacing faulty elements can resolve these issues. If your water heater is outdated or too small, upgrading to a larger or tankless water heater might be the best solution.

Choosing the right plumber involves checking for proper licensing and insurance, reading reviews, and getting multiple estimates. A licensed plumber ensures that they have the necessary training and meet the local regulatory standards. Look for plumbers with positive reviews that highlight their professionalism, punctuality, and quality of work. Getting a detailed estimate before work begins helps avoid unexpected costs. Additionally, inquire about warranties on both the work performed and any parts used.

Loud noises from your water heater, such as popping, rumbling, or banging, are usually caused by sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. As the sediment heats up, it traps water beneath it, causing the water to boil and create popping sounds. Regular water heater maintenance, including flushing the tank, can prevent this buildup and extend the lifespan of your heater. If the noise persists, it may indicate a more serious issue, such as a failing heating element, which should be inspected by a qualified plumber.

Garbage disposals are designed to handle small food scraps, but certain items should never be put down the disposal. Avoid disposing of hard items like bones, fibrous materials such as celery stalks or corn husks, and starchy foods like rice or pasta that can expand and clog the drain. Additionally, grease and oil can solidify and cause blockages. For proper garbage disposal maintenance, run cold water before, during, and after using the disposal to help clear the food particles through the pipes.

A dripping faucet is a common household issue that can lead to significant water waste if left unresolved. The most frequent cause of a dripping faucet is a worn-out washer or seal, which can occur over time due to constant friction. Other possible causes include a damaged valve seat, loose parts, or high water pressure. Addressing a leaky faucet promptly can save water and prevent potential damage to your sink or countertop. If the dripping persists, it may require the attention of a professional plumber to replace the faulty parts or check for more serious issues within the plumbing system.
