Why should I get a programmable thermostat?
Programmable thermostats are more efficient and accurate than mercury-based counterparts. They allow you the ability to automatically set the ideal temperature for different seasons or times of the day without having to constantly adjust the thermostat.
Is regular maintenance necessary for my HVAC equipment?
Yes, maintaining your unit can not only extend its life but also allow a technician to diagnose and repair any issues. This will not only save you money, but it can keep your unit working properly through the heat and cold of the summer and winter months.
My water isn’t as hot as I want it. Is there a problem with my water heater?
Obvious signs of an issue, including strange smells, noises, or leaking around the unit, may indicate a serious issue with your water heater. If you are not getting enough hot water, or if the water is not hot enough, you may need to seek out a professional from Casteel to diagnose and repair the problem.
What should I be doing to avoid a clogged toilet?
The easiest thing to do to prevent clogs is to ensure nothing that should not be flushed does not get flushed. This includes and small objects as well as feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, and paper towels. In addition, cut back on using excess toilet paper.
My lights flicker. What does this mean?
