The Bosworth Company is currently offering a Fall Clean & Check for $109, which includes a 1” filter and is $59 for each additional system. We know what you’re thinking: “Do I really need this? Couldn’t I just save my money and contact them when I notice a problem?” Well, you could save your money in the short term, but spending a little now could save you big time in the long run. It’ll also keep you comfortable as we start seeing cooler temperatures.

WHAT WE’LL DO

The Fall Clean & Check offers a variety of services involving your HVAC unit. You could perform some of these tasks yourself, but they’re much more convenient with help from an expert. Other services we’ll perform are definitely best handled by our experts.

Our Fall Clean & Check includes the following services:

  • Check, clean or replace filter(s)
    We provide one free filter with this service.
  • Clean blower wheel and housing
  • Thoroughly check all electrical connections
    This is something you’d rather leave to the pros.
  • Clean and check combustion air chamber
  • Check heat exchanger
  • Clean pilot assembly
  • Inspect your condensate drain, and clear and clean if necessary
    A clogged drain pipe can lead to other issues including water stains on the ceiling or other nasty water damage
  • Lubricate motors, as required
  • Inspect all safety controls
    Safety controls are critical, especially when it comes time to switch from A/C to heat.
  • Check the amperage for your entire system
    Your system needs enough juice to operate to its full potential!
  • Check the charge of your refrigerant
    Leave this one to the pros.
  • Check and calibrate all thermostats
    Make sure you stay at a temperature that’s comfortable for you.
  • Check the fan motor on the condenser
    If this fails and needs to be replaced, it can cost hundreds of dollars. Keeping it maintained is a great investment.
  • Check, adjust, or replace a belt
  • Clean and adjust burners
  • Check all relays and capacitors
    This is not the flux capacitor – you want a pro checking this for you.
  • Clean and calibrate thermostat(s)
  • Check temperature differential
    This helps with efficiency by ensuring your system is cycling properly based on the temperature you set it at.
  • Provide necessary maintenance supplies
    We provide professional tools to ensure your unit is running as it should.

Thanksgiving Drain Prep

Posted on | by The Bosworth Company | Leave a Comment on Thanksgiving Drain Prep

The holidays are here and Thanksgiving is right around the corner. We hope you and yours have something special planned. While Thanksgiving can be a great time for food and family, it can also be a dangerous time – for your drains! In this post, we’ll talk about what NOT to put down the drain while cleaning up from Thanksgiving dinner.

DON’T GREASE THE SKIDS

Hopefully, you know not to put bones or other things down the drain that could clog up your pipes or garbage disposal. This includes things that could turn to sludge.

It’s also important that you avoid pouring any sort of grease down the drain. While traces won’t hurt, pouring grease or other oils down the kitchen sink will definitely build up over time. This grime will eventually cause your pipes to clog.

While boiling water can be a good way to help keep your drain clean, it doesn’t work when it comes to eliminating grease. Those oils will solidify and turn into a sticky mess.

A MODEST DISPOSAL

Can I pour grease down the drain if I have a garbage disposal? No! Again, a little grease won’t hurt, but the sludge buildup will eventually get to the gears and blades of your garbage disposal. Keep an eye out for slow drainage, a bad smell, or gurgling noises – those are all signs of a problem.

PROPER DISPOSAL

Ok, so how are you supposed to get rid of grease? One option is to let it solidify in your pan. Once it cools, it’ll harden on its own (better there than in your pipes). From there you can just scrape it up and throw it in the trash.

Another option is collecting grease in a can or a jar after cooking. That way you can dispose of large amounts all at once. You might even be able to salvage some of the oil and use it for cooking later.

WORTH THE CALL

The Bosworth Company can help you with all your plumbing needs – just in time for Thanksgiving. Schedule an appointment online today or call us at 432-570-5233 for 24/7 emergency service. It’s Worth the Call. Always.
