The numbers from 2011 in the US for that GeoThermal Heat Pumps sales grew again to just a few units less than 150,000 installs for the year. And are projected to sale 326,000 units annually in 2017. That is a growth rate of 14% per year during some of the worst economic conditions of our time. GeoThermal is the fastest growing segment of the entire HVAC industry.

The use of GeoThermal Heat Pumps integrated with energy management systems, programmable thermostats and minimizing Utility Companies demand based pricing, will give homeowners and companies powerful new capabilities for heating and cooling while SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCING their energy costs.

Yavapai Plumbing & Heating understands this and can help you make the right long term decision that will literally save you thousands.

Just a little food for thought

Here it is, that time of year that we have to close up our homes to the outside cold and start up our furnaces. With that comes dry skin, bloody noses, and just a general stuffy feeling in the home. We may not be able to change the outdoor air quality, but we do have the power to improve our indoor air quality.

There are a variety of products on the market that can help make our home environment more comfortable in the winter. Adding a humidifier and/or Air purification system can make a big difference.

Grey Water – A Good Quick Lesson

admin — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 14:00:23 +0000

What is meant by a “Gray Water System”?
Gray water systems pipe all the waste water from bathroom sinks, tubs, showers, and clothes washer and deliver it to a holding tank via a filter for the purpose of pumping it out to landscape irrigation or back into the home for use to flush toilets.

Who is able to install a “Gray Water System”?
New homes under construction are the easiest way to achieve a gray water system. However, if the home is built on a crawl space the existing piping system may be modified to tank advantage of this system.

What plumbing fixtures can NOT be on a “Gray Water System”?
The toilets and the kitchen sink are not allowed to be pumped into a storage tank for irrigation or gray water use. All other home fixtures are allowed to be used for this purpose.

These Warms Days Can Fool You

Now that the holidays have come and gone and the weather is spring like again don’t be fooled. We will have our cold weather event here shortly.

Remember to keep water lines winterized, such as hoses disconnected from bibs, freeze bags on irrigation systems and the like. If you’re going to be away from the house for any period of time, leave the thermostat set to 55 degrees.

Just a few simple steps that I have laid out here can save the aggravation of frozen water lines. As always any questions feel free to call me and we can chat about it. Regards, Bill Morse

Thinking Green – Rain Water

admin — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 01:50:39 +0000

Rain water harvesting has recently been in the news. Harvesting rain water from rooftops may be required on future homes being built. This can also be accomplished on existing homes as well. The rain is collected through the gutters and into a piping system that runs into a tank.

The water collected in this tank can either be pumped out for irrigation use or back into the house for use in flushing toilets. The storage tank must be sized to hold the water from a 1-inch rainfall event (1 sq. ft of roof with this amount of rainfall equals 0.62 gallons), taking into consideration the size of the harvest system (75% of total roof area will satisfy both your irrigation and indoor toilet use.). Obviously this is making better use of our scarce water source.

The Weather it’s a Changing

admin — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 01:23:06 +0000

The weather is starting to revert back to cold again to the disdain to some of us. That being said, we need to be conscious of the watering we set up for summer irrigation. It’s time to start making these items freeze proof.

The best idea during this transition is keeping an eye on the weather report. We can have nice days but it will get below freezing at night. It’s going to be in the low 80′s today but it got below freezing at night last week. Keep your hoses disconnected unless you are going to use them. Install freeze bags on irrigation backflow valves. These are just a couple of items that can be done to avoid frozen water lines.

We are available to come out and either inspect your home for possible water lines freezing or winterize your home if it’s a vacation house and you are going to be away for an extended period of time.
