April is the perfect time to ensure all systems are humming nicely within your household, because nothing ruins a sunny weekend more than a faulty BBQ gas line, a flooded bathroom, or a broken furnace. Which is why DMC Solutions wants to fill you in on ‘How To Keep Your Household Humming ‘!

Burst Pipes – Not Just a Winter Concern

Although it is often thought that pipes only burst under the pressures of a cold winter, a pipe can burst and a water heater can break at any time of year. Which is why regular inspections are important to keep your systems running as they should, avoid costly repairs, and prevent untimely emergencies.

The Importance of Air Conditioner Maintenance

Having your home’s air conditioner inspected yearly will also ensure it will be up and running when you need it, as well as guard against any health concerns if your air conditioner is unknowingly leaking fluid.

Furnace Filters and Your Health

Furnace filters are quick to become riddled with dust, causing further concerns to those who suffer from allergies in the home, as well as adding to the cost of heating your home. Sometimes the healthier and cheaper solution to this problem is to replace an old furnace – something we can help you decide upon inspection.

Boiler maintenance and the inspection of your hot water system will also help to detect water heater trouble, and uncover any potential concerns before they become one – which could save you thousands of dollars and safeguard against water damage to your home.

So don’t forgo maintenance checks simply because everything seems to be humming along smoothly. Having regular inspections of all the inner workings of your home is the only real way to keep your household running without incident.

With the promise of spring just around the corner, we can nearly guarantee that everyone in Metro Vancouver is eagerly awaiting some much-needed sunshine. But as we’re all aware – with spring also comes allergies, and for allergy sufferers this is not a pleasant reality. So DMC Solutions wanted to share how you can ‘Spring Clean Your Furnace to Reduce Allergies’.

Spring Clean the Air in Your Home

The oxygen you breathe in your home plays a big part in keeping your allergies at bay. After all, your home should be your haven – so start by having your furnace filters replaced to keep the air in your home in optimal condition.

Not only will this clean up your indoor breathable air, but it can also add to the longevity and energy efficiency of your home’s heating system.

Reduce Dust and Other Allergens by Cleaning Your Furnace Filter

Dust is a big culprit behind allergies, so whether you have a disposable or washable filter, replacing or cleaning it will help to minimize air-borne allergens and debris that you breathe in daily, including dust and the nasty dust mites that collect along with them.

The right filter can combat these dust mites, as well as pollen, exhaust fumes, mold spores, and even trap bacteria as well as cigarette smoke – which are often only used in places like hospitals.

Having a professional come in to inspect your heating system and replace the filters can make a profound difference in the quality of the air in your home, as well as the resulting allergies.

Pool Heater Repairs & Installations for a Swimming Spring

At DMC Solutions, we offer Pool Heater Repairs & Installations in Langley, Delta, White Rock and throughout the Greater Vancouver area. Whether you choose to keep your pool open year round, or are looking to re-open your pool for spring – pool heaters are essential for keeping your swimming experience comfortable, and with the right pool heater you can maximize your pool’s efficiency and keep your utility bills manageable.

Swimming Pool Heater Problems May Require a Professional

A lot of times the answer to your pool heating problems can be ‘simple’, but understanding those problems sometimes require a professional assessment, which can actually save you both time and money. Some of the issues may involve…

Heater Pilot Light Issues

Often your heater pilot light won’t light due to low gas pressure, an issue with venting, a disruption to your air supply – among other things. A professional can quickly test all the areas related to why your gas isn’t turning on to heat your pool, ensuring your safety and your pool’s proper maintenance.

Inadequate Pool Temperature

Heat loss is a problem as it is both costly as well as uncomfortable to swim in a chilly pool. This can be the result of a low gas supply to your pool’s heater, a poorly insulated pool cover, or even an exhaust issue – amidst other factors. So having a professional look at this issue can save your money on your pool’s heating costs, as well as a frigid spring swim.

In addition, some customers complain that their heater is turning off before it reaches the desired temperature. This can be due to a poor water flow caused by a dirty filter, a reversed water connection, or perhaps a closed valve or a pressure switch issue.

If your pool heater is leaking due to sanitizer damage, chemical damage or winter freeze issues courtesy of our unseasonably cold winter, this is another area you will want a professional to address, and get you up and running smoothly for spring.

Maintaining your pool’s heating system vs. installing a new system are difficult decisions to gauge, and one that a professional can help you better understand, lending you cost-saving tips as well as informing you on how much you might save if you switch to a newer heat pump.

At DMC Solutions, we would be happy to help with repairing your existing pool heater or upgrading and installing a new heater for your pool – depending on your needs.
