Without it, excess water can lead to flooding, erosion, foundation damage, and even pest problems (like mosquito infestations). Whether you’re dealing with standing water in your yard or slow-draining pool areas, understanding the common problems and solutions can help protect your property. Let’s explore why drainage issues occur, how to fix them, and preventative measures to keep your yard and pool area dry and functional. ## **Common Pool and Yard Drain Problems** Is your yard or pool overflowing anytime it rains? A well-designed drainage system ensures excess water flows away from your home, pool, and landscaping. However, drainage problems can arise due to poor grading, clogged drains, or inadequate drainage systems. Here are the most frequent issues homeowners face: - **Standing Water in the Yard:** If water pools in your yard after rain, it may be due to poor soil absorption, low spots, compacted soil, or a failing drainage system. This extra water can lead to soggy patches, dead grass, and foundation issues. - **Slow or Clogged Pool Drains:** Pool drains can become clogged with leaves, dirt, and debris, preventing proper water flow. If left unchecked, this can lead to overflowing water and damage to pool equipment. For example, your pool pump will need to work harder to keep water circulating, which can cause pump failure. This poor circulation can also damage your pool’s filters, plumbing lines, and heater. - **Poor Yard Grading:** If your yard slopes toward your home instead of away, water runoff can collect near your foundation, increasing the risk of flooding. - **Blocked French Drains:** French drains are designed to redirect water away from your home, but they can become clogged with sediment and roots, reducing their effectiveness. [Click here to learn more about French drain problems and solutions. ](https://www.bonney.com/blog/french-drain-overflow/) - **Overflowing Catch Basins:** Catch basins collect excess water, but if they become blocked or undersized, they can overflow, leading to drainage problems. ## **Solutions for Pool and Yard Drainage Issues** Fixing drainage problems requires proper planning and maintenance. Here’s how to address common issues: ### **1. Improve Yard Grading** If your yard slopes incorrectly, regrading can help direct water away from your home. The ideal slope is 2-3 inches per 10 feet, ensuring proper runoff. ### **2. Install a French Drain** A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that redirects water. This is an effective solution for low-lying areas prone to pooling. If your French drain is not keeping up with your drainage needs, you might need to expand or upgrade this system. ### **3. Clean and Maintain Pool Drains** Regularly remove debris from pool drains to prevent clogs. Using a drain cover can help keep leaves and dirt out. ### **4. Use Catch Basins and Dry Wells** Catch basins collect runoff, while dry wells allow water to absorb into the ground. Installing these can prevent overflow and standing water. ### **5. Aerate and Amend Soil** Compacted soil prevents water absorption. Aerating and adding organic matter can improve drainage and prevent pooling. ### **6. Extend Downspouts** Redirect roof runoff away from your yard by extending downspouts. This prevents excess water from collecting near your foundation. ### **7. Install a Sump Pump** For severe drainage issues, a [sump pump](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/sump-pump-service-and-installation/) can remove excess water, preventing flooding in basements and yards. ## **Preventing Future Drainage Problems** Regular maintenance and proactive solutions can keep your yard and pool area dry. Here’s how to prevent future issues: ### **Routine Drain Cleaning** - **Clear debris** from pool and yard drains regularly. - **Flush French drains** to remove sediment buildup. - **Inspect catch basins** for blockages. ### **Improve Landscaping** - **Plant water-absorbing vegetation** to reduce runoff. - **Use mulch** to prevent soil erosion. - **Create rain gardens** to naturally absorb excess water. ### **Upgrade Drainage Systems** - **Install larger catch basins** if overflow is a problem. - **Use perforated pipes** for better water flow. - **Consider trench drains** for patios and driveways. ## **Bonney Pool and Yard Drain Solutions in Sacramento** Proper drainage is essential for maintaining a healthy yard and pool area.

The trees that make our neighborhoods beautiful release massive amounts of pollen from late February through May. Add in grass pollen, mold spores from spring rain, and the general bloom of everything all at once, and the [indoor air quality](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) can get surprisingly bad if your HVAC system isn’t set up to handle it. Your home should be a refuge during allergy season. And with the right HVAC setup and a few smart habits, it can be. ## Why Your HVAC System Matters More Than You Think Your heating and cooling system constantly circulates the air throughout your home. During spring, that means it’s also circulating everything that sneaks inside: pollen, dust, pet dander, and mold spores. If your filter is old, the wrong type, or improperly installed, your [HVAC system can actually make indoor allergies worse](https://www.bonney.com/blog/hvac-services-for-improving-indoor-air-quality/) by recirculating particles rather than trapping them. On the flip side, a well-maintained system with the right filtration can dramatically reduce what you and your family are breathing in. ## Understanding Air Filter Ratings (MERV Explained) Not all air filters are the same, and the difference matters a lot during allergy season. Filters are rated using a MERV scale (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value), which runs from 1 to 16 for residential use. Here’s a quick breakdown: - **MERV 1-4:** Basic fiberglass filters; catches large debris but lets most allergens pass right through - **MERV 5-8:** Standard pleated filters; decent for dust and larger pollen particles; fine for homes without allergy concerns - **MERV 9-12:** High-efficiency filters; captures fine pollen, mold spores, and pet dander; the sweet spot for most allergy sufferers - **MERV 13-16:** Near-HEPA level; traps very fine particles including some bacteria; best for people with severe allergies or asthma **Important to note:** There is such a thing as too much filtration for your home. Going higher than your system is designed for can restrict airflow and cause your HVAC to work harder, leading to higher energy bills and premature failure. Conversely, going too low will allow allergens to pass right through. The ideal solution includes professional-grade allergen filters. These are the HVAC filters you can’t get at the store. An expert will install the right fit for your system, home, and needs to keep allergens away without straining your HVAC. ## How Often to Change Your Filter During Allergy Season This is where a lot of homeowners fall short. Filter change recommendations on the packaging are often based on ideal conditions, such as a single-occupant home with no pets, no allergies, and average air quality. Real life rarely looks like that. During peak allergy season, plan to check your filter more frequently than usual: - **Every 3-4 weeks** if anyone in the household has allergies or asthma - **Every 4-6 weeks** for average households during spring months - **Every 6-8 weeks** during lower-pollen times of year A simple trick: hold the filter up to a light source. If you can’t see light through it, it’s overdue for a change. A clogged filter forces your system to work harder, raising your energy costs and shortening equipment lifespan. Read our [full guide to air filters here](https://www.bonney.com/blog/hvac-air-filter-guide/). ## Additional HVAC Upgrades That Help With Allergies Beyond the basics of filter quality and regular changes, there are a few [upgrades worth considering for allergies](https://www.bonney.com/blog/allergies-air-purification/) that can help you breathe easier: - **Whole-home air purifiers**: Installed directly into your ductwork, these units use UV light, ionization, or enhanced filtration to neutralize particles your standard filter misses - **UV germicidal lights**: Mounted near the coil inside your air handler, these kill mold and bacteria that can grow in the damp environment of your system - **Whole-home humidifiers or dehumidifiers**: Controlling humidity keeps mold spores from thriving; Sacramento’s dry summers and wetter springs make this particularly helpful - **Upgraded duct sealing**: Leaky ducts pull in unconditioned air from attics, crawlspaces, and wall cavities, bypassing your filter entirely and introducing dust and allergens directly into your living space ## Smart HVAC Habits for Allergy Season Equipment matters, but so do daily habits. A few simple practices can significantly reduce your indoor pollen load: - **Keep windows closed on high-pollen days**: Running your AC instead of opening windows keeps outdoor air filtered before it circulates - **Run your fan on “on” instead of “auto”:** This keeps air continuously circulating through the filter rather than only when heating or cooling is active (note: this does use slightly more energy and requires more frequent filter changes) - **Vacuum and dust more frequently:** Allergens that settle on surfaces get stirred back into the air during normal activity - **Shower before bed during peak season:** Pollen collects on your hair and skin throughout the day and can transfer to your pillow, keeping you in contact with it all night - **Schedule a spring tune-up for your HVAC system**: A technician can clean the coil, check refrigerant levels, inspect ductwork, and make sure everything is running efficiently before the heat of summer hits ## Choose Bonney Air Quality Solutions in Sacramento Allergy season doesn’t have to mean months of misery (especially in the comfort of your home).

All those mature oaks, elms, and fig trees lining neighborhoods from Midtown to Folsom are part of what makes the area feel like home. But underneath all that canopy, roots are constantly on the move, and your sewer line is one of their favorite destinations. Tree root intrusion is one of the most common (and most misunderstood) plumbing problems homeowners face. It builds quietly over months or years until one day you’re standing in a backed-up shower wondering where things went wrong. The good news is that if you catch it early, the fix is usually straightforward. Catch it late, and you’re looking at a much bigger headache (and bill). Let’s explore the tree root intrusion signs to watch for, and when it’s time to [call for sewer service](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/). ## Why Tree Roots Target Your Sewer Line Roots don’t invade pipes by accident, they’re drawn to them. Sewer lines carry warm, nutrient-rich water. Even a hairline crack or a slightly loose joint gives off just enough moisture vapor to attract nearby roots. Once a root tip finds its way inside, it starts to rapidly grow. Older homes are especially vulnerable. Clay or cast-iron pipes common in homes built before the 1980s deteriorate over time, creating entry points that roots are happy to exploit. However, even newer PVC and ABS pipes are at risk, as roots can work through joints if conditions are right. ## Early Warning Signs of Sewer Tree Root Intrusion The tricky thing about root intrusion is that it mimics other plumbing problems. That’s why it so often goes unaddressed until the damage is significant. Watch for these early signs: - **Slow drains throughout the house.** Not just one sink, but multiple fixtures draining sluggishly at the same time - **Gurgling sounds** from toilets or drains, especially after flushing or running the washing machine - **Recurring clogs** that clear up with a snake but come back within weeks or months - **Unusually lush or wet patches** in your yard with no explanation. Roots disrupting a sewer line can cause slow leaks that fertilize the grass above - **Sewage odors** inside or outside your home, particularly near floor drains or in the yard - **Toilets that flush slowly** even when they’re not clogged Any one of these on its own might have a simpler explanation. But, when you’re seeing two or three of them together (or the same problem keeps coming back), tree root intrusion should be near the top of the suspect list. Read our [full guide to signs of tree root intrusion here](https://www.bonney.com/blog/how-do-i-know-if-i-have-tree-roots-in-my-sewer-line/). ## How Tree Roots Enter and Destroy Sewer Systems Roots don’t enter a pipe and immediately cause a total blockage. The process is more gradual: 1. Fine root tendrils squeeze through small cracks or joint gaps 2. Inside the pipe, they fan out, feeding on the waste passing through 3. Over time, the root mass grows thick enough to start catching toilet paper, grease, and debris 4. The accumulation creates partial blockages that gradually worsen 5. Eventually, root growth can cause voids and separation of the pipe further or collapse it entirely By the time you’re experiencing full backups or sewage surfacing in your yard, the intrusion has usually been developing for a while. That’s why early detection matters so much. ## When to Call a Plumber (Before It Becomes an Emergency) There’s no perfect checklist that tells you exactly when root intrusion crosses from “watch it” to “call now,” but here are clear signals that it’s time to stop waiting: - **Multiple drains are slow at the same time**. This points to a mainline issue, not just a localized clog - **You’ve snaked the same drain more than twice in a year** and the problem keeps returning - **There’s a large tree within 30 feet of your sewer line** and you’ve had any of the warning signs above - **Your home was built before 1985** and you’ve never had a sewer inspection - **You hear gurgling from multiple fixtures** when you run water elsewhere in the house - **You notice wet or unusually green spots in your yard** that don’t match recent rain or irrigation Calling at this stage (before things fail completely) is a safe choice. For peace of mind, a camera inspection can give you a definitive answer without any digging. The plumber runs a small camera through your sewer line and shows you exactly what’s happening inside. You’ll know whether you’re dealing with roots, a grease buildup, a collapsed section, or something else entirely. ## Quick Guide: Sewer Tree Root Service Options Once root intrusion is confirmed, the right solution depends on how far things have progressed: - [**Hydro jetting**](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/hydro-jetter/): A high-pressure water blast that clears roots and cleans the pipe walls. This is ideal for early to moderate intrusion - [**Trenchless sewer repair or replacement**](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/): For more significant damage, [pipe lining or brush coating](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/pipeline-brush-coating-sewer-repair/) can rehabilitate the sewer without tearing up your yard - [**Full sewer line replacement**](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/): In cases where the pipe has collapsed or been severely damaged, replacement may be the most cost-effective long-term solution The earlier you catch tree root intrusion, the more options you have, and the less invasive (and expensive) these solutions tend to be. ## Choose Bonney: Local Sewer Experts in Greater Sacramento It’s human nature to hope a slow drain is just a slow drain.

(2026 Breakdown)](https://www.bonney.com/blog/install-new-hvac-system-in-sacramento-2026-breakdown/) **Published:** May 2, 2026 **Author:** Josh Tyack **Content:** If your heating and cooling system is aging out, running constantly, or just not keeping up with Sacramento’s intense weather, it might be time for a replacement. What does a new HVAC system actually cost in Sacramento in 2026? Let’s explore how much a new HVAC system installation costs, what factors impact this price, and how to get started. ## What’s the Typical Cost Range in Sacramento? For most Sacramento-area homeowners, a full HVAC replacement or new installation falls somewhere in this range: - **Basic system swap (existing ductwork is in good shape):** $14,000 – $16,000+ - **Mid-range system with some ductwork work:** $16,000 – $19,000+ - **Premium or high-efficiency system, new or replaced ductwork:** $19,000 – $23,000+ The most common scenario (a standard AC and gas furnace combo in a 2,000-2,500 sq ft home) tends to land around $17,000-$20,000+ in the Sacramento market. However, larger homes or projects requiring significant ductwork can push well past that. ## What Factors Drive the Price? No two HVAC installs are exactly alike. Here are the main variables that move your number up or down: ### Home Size and System Capacity HVAC systems are sized in tons, with larger homes requiring more capacity. An undersized unit will run constantly and still leave you uncomfortable; an oversized one short-cycles and wears out faster. Getting the sizing right matters. Costs scale with capacity, so a 5-ton system for a large home costs more than a 2-ton unit in a smaller one. ### System Type One of the biggest cost variables for HVAC replacement in 2026 is the type of setup you have: - **Central AC and gas furnace**: The traditional combination of an AC unit and gas furnace is still the most common setup in Sacramento. It is reliable, familiar, and widely supported by local contractors. In this case, you might also need to only replace the AC or furnace (but not both). But more and more households are switching to an all-in-one HVAC with an electric heat pump system. - **Heat pump system**: An all-electric option that handles both heating and cooling. These have a higher upfront cost, but they are significantly more efficient and eligible for substantial rebates (more on that below). While the intense winters in Sacramento used to require furnaces, newer heat pump systems are well-suited to the climate. - **Ductless mini-split**: A network of mini-splits offers a great solution for additions, older homes without existing ductwork, or rooms that are hard to condition. Their replacement costs vary widely depending on the number of zones. ### Ductwork Condition If your ducts are more than 15-20 years old, leaking, or undersized for a new system, they’ll need repair or replacement. There is a good chance that they were part of the reason your old system failed. It doesn’t matter how well your new system works, it won’t make your home comfortable if the ductwork doesn’t deliver the air where it needs to go. New ductwork or repairs can add roughly $2,000-$6,000+ to the total, depending on the size of your home and how much work is needed. In addition to straining and damaging your new unit, ducts in poor shape can also tank your energy efficiency, so it’s not a corner you can cut without quickly paying more. ### SEER2 Efficiency Rating All HVAC systems sold in California must meet minimum efficiency standards under Title 24. Higher-efficiency systems (those with SEER2 ratings of 16 or above) cost more upfront but can meaningfully lower your monthly utility bills. In Sacramento’s climate, the long-term savings on a high-efficiency system tend to add up quickly. ### Labor and Permits Sacramento’s labor rates reflect California’s higher cost of living, and permits are required for new installations. Budget $250-$500 or more for permit and inspection fees, which should always be included in your contractor’s estimate upfront. ## What About Rebates and Incentives in 2026? Rebates can significantly offset the cost of a new system, and 2026 has brought some notable changes worth knowing about. ### SMUD Heat Pump Rebates SMUD boosted its residential rebate program earlier in 2026 to help offset the expiration of federal tax credits at the end of 2025. Current SMUD rebates include: - **Up to $3,000** for gas-to-electric heat pump HVAC conversions - **$1,000** for electric-to-electric heat pump HVAC upgrades To qualify, your system must be a two-stage or variable-stage heat pump meeting the 15.2 SEER2 minimum, installed by a contractor in the SMUD Contractor Network (like Bonney). ### Federal Tax Credits Unfortunately, the 25C federal tax credit (which covered up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pump installations) expired on December 31, 2025, and is no longer available for new projects. This is a meaningful change from prior years, and it makes the SMUD rebates above more important to take advantage of. However, it is critical to check for any new [rebates or federal tax credits](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/) to see if there is any financial assistance available to you. ## Signs It’s Time to Replace Your System Not every HVAC issue calls for full replacement, but some do. Here’s what to watch for: - Your system is **10-15+ years old,** and repairs are becoming frequent - **Energy bills are climbing** without a clear reason - The system **struggles to maintain temperature** during Sacramento’s hottest days - You’re noticing **uneven heating or cooling** throughout the house - You’ve been quoted **repair costs exceeding 50% of a new system’s price** A good rule of thumb: if a repair costs more than half of what a replacement would cost, and the system is already aging, replacement usually makes more sense financially. ## What to Look for in a Quote When you’re comparing estimates, make sure each one clearly includes: - Equipment brand, model, and SEER2 rating - System capacity (tonnage) with a load calculation to justify it - Labor for full installation and any ductwork - Permit and inspection fees - Any rebate assistance the contractor will handle - Warranty terms on both equipment and labor Your quote should be tailored to your needs. If someone gives you a quote over the phone without ever seeing your home, that’s a red flag. ## Choose Bonney’s HVAC Repair and Replacement in Sacramento Bonney’s NATE-certified HVAC technicians proudly serve the [greater Sacramento area](https://www.bonney.com/service-area/), and we are here for all of your HVAC system repair and replacement needs.

A Pre-Season Electrical Checklist](https://www.bonney.com/blog/summer-electrical-checklist/) **Published:** April 17, 2026 **Author:** Curtis Roles **Content:** Summer in Sacramento means triple-digit heat, AC units running around the clock, extra miles on your car (and EV charging station), pool pumps humming, and outdoor entertaining that stretches well into the evening. All of that can strain your home’s electrical system, and most homeowners don’t think about it until something goes wrong. The good news? A little prevention goes a long way. Running through a simple pre-season electrical checklist now can save you from a mid-July breaker meltdown, a safety hazard, or an expensive emergency call. Here’s what to look at before the heat hits. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bonney-Outlet-Parts.jpg)## Start at the Electrical Panel Your main electrical panel is the heart of your home’s power. Summer loads are heavier than any other season, so this is the best place to start. - **Look for signs of wear or damage.** Rust, scorch marks, or a burning smell near the panel are red flags that need immediate professional attention. - **Check for frequently tripping breakers.** If [certain breakers trip often](https://www.bonney.com/blog/why-is-my-circuit-breaker-tripping/), that circuit may be overloaded. This problem is common when AC units, refrigerators, and other appliances compete for the same power. - **Know your panel’s age.** Panels older than 25–30 years may not be equipped to handle modern electrical loads. If yours is getting up there, it might be time to talk to a licensed electrician about an [electrical panel restoration service](https://www.bonney.com/blog/electrical-panel-restoration-benefits/) or full [panel replacement](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electrical-panel-replacement/). - **Look for double-tapped breakers.** That’s when two wires are connected to a single breaker terminal. Double-tapped breakers present a safety issue that’s surprisingly common in older homes. If anything looks off, don’t ignore it. Electrical panels aren’t a DIY situation, and the risk of fire or shock is real. ## Inspect Your Outlets and GFCIs [GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)](https://www.bonney.com/blog/gfci-outlet-insight/) outlets are those little receptacles with the “Test” and “Reset” buttons. They are required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor spaces as a safety precaution. Why? GFCIs cut power almost instantly if they detect an imbalance that could cause a shock or fire. Before summer gets going, take a few minutes to: - **Test every GFCI outlet** by pressing the “Test” button. The outlet should lose power. Hit “Reset” to restore it. If it doesn’t respond correctly, it needs to be replaced. - **Check outdoor outlets for weatherproofing.** Outlets used outdoors need to have in-use covers (the bubble-style covers that stay closed even with a plug inserted). Exposed outlets in wet conditions are a shock and fire hazard. - **Look for outlets that feel warm, spark, or are discolored.** Any of these symptoms point to a wiring problem that needs a professional’s eye. If your older home doesn’t have GFCI outlets in wet areas, now is a great time to [get them installed](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/gfci-installation/). It’s a relatively inexpensive upgrade with a big safety payoff. ## Check the Circuits That Get Hit Hardest in Summer Some areas of your home draw significantly more power during the summer months. A professional can help you check the circuits most at risk during the warmer months: ### Air Conditioning - Make sure your AC unit is on a dedicated circuit. With such a heavy load, it shouldn’t be sharing power with other appliances. - Listen for unusual sounds or watch for lights that dim when the AC kicks on. That flickering can signal an overloaded circuit or a loose connection. ### Kitchen - Refrigerators work harder in the heat. Make sure the outlet behind yours isn’t warm to the touch or showing signs of wear. - If you’re running a window unit in addition to other appliances, be mindful of load. Multiple high-draw appliances on the same circuit can trip breakers repeatedly. ### Garage and Outdoor Spaces - Pool pumps, hot tubs, outdoor lighting, and [EV chargers draw significant power](https://www.bonney.com/blog/can-your-home-handle-an-ev-charger/). If you’re adding or upgrading any of these this summer, have a licensed electrician assess whether your current setup can handle the load. - Check extension cords used for outdoor equipment. They shouldn’t be running under rugs or through doorways, and they’re not meant to be permanent wiring solutions. Instead, see if you can get an outlet installed closer to where you need power. ## Don’t Overlook Surge Protection Summer storm season brings lightning, and even a nearby strike can send a power surge through your home’s wiring that fries electronics, appliances, and HVAC equipment in seconds. Power-strip surge protectors offer some protection, but they don’t cover your whole home.

Sacramento summers are no joke, and the way most people respond to the heat (crank the AC when they get home from work) happens to align almost perfectly with when electricity costs the most. The good news is that with a little planning, you can stay cool and keep your bill in check. The strategy is called pre-cooling, and once you understand how it works, it’s surprisingly simple to pull off. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Bonney-Thermostat-Setting-1024x793.jpg)Mature Woman Adjusting Wall Mounted Digital Central Heating Thermostat Control At Home## What Are TOU Rates, and Why Do They Matter in Summer? [Time-of-use (TOU) rates](https://www.pge.com/en/account/rate-plans/time-of-use-rate-plans.html) are electricity plans where prices vary depending on the time of day. Instead of paying a flat rate, electricity costs more during high-demand hours and less when demand is low. In California, peak rates are from 4 PM to 9 PM at the time of publication. Why? - Solar energy decreases, putting a greater load on the grid. - More time is spent at home instead of shared spaces (like schools, office buildings, gyms, etc). - This is also the time for watching television, gaming, using appliances, and other electricity-consuming items. - Toward the end of this window, the sun goes down, and lights go on throughout homes across the city. - This window is also when homeowners fire up their air conditioning systems during the summer. Depending on where you live and the time of year, electricity costs can nearly double during this window. The fix isn’t to suffer through the heat during peak hours. It’s to get your home cold *before* those hours begin, which can lower your AC load during the most expensive windows of cooling. ## How Pre-Cooling Actually Works Think of your home like a lunch box. If you fill it with ice packs in the morning, it stays cold for hours. Pre-cooling works the same way. You run your AC harder during off-peak hours (when rates are lower). By the time energy rates increase, you can turn off your AC for a few hours without sacrificing comfort Here’s the basic approach: - **Identify your peak window.** For most Sacramento-area customers on [PG&E TOU plans](https://www.pge.com/en/account/rate-plans/time-of-use-rate-plans.html), peak hours run from 4 PM to 9 PM daily in summer. Check your specific plan to confirm. - **See if you have any morning lulls.** For example, if your family is out of the house for work or summer camp every day from 9 AM to 1 PM, this is a good time to save money by slightly raising your thermostat. - **Start pre-cooling 2–3 hours before peak rates begin.** Aim to get your home down to a comfortable temperature (or even a degree or two lower) before 4 PM. - **Let the thermostat rise slightly during peak hours.** Raise your thermostat a few degrees during the on-peak window to maintain comfort using that pre-conditioned air. - **Return to normal settings after 9 PM**, when off-peak rates resume. It sounds almost too simple, but it genuinely works, especially in well-insulated homes. ## How to Make Pre-Cooling Your Home Easier You don’t have to manually babysit your thermostat to pull this off. The right equipment does the heavy lifting for you. ### Smart Thermostats A programmable or smart thermostat is the single best tool for TOU management. You can [set a schedule](https://www.bonney.com/blog/thermostat-settings/) that automatically pre-cools before peak hours and eases back during them. Some models even have built-in TOU rate awareness and will optimize your schedule automatically based on your utility’s pricing. ### Thermostat Apps Most smart thermostats also have an app you can download and connect to with your phone. Use the app to make adjustments throughout the day as your summer schedule shifts to easily maximise comfort or save even more money. For example, let’s say if you are at the beach with your family, and you make plans to go out to dinner instead of heading home that evening. Once your schedule changes, you can use the app to skip the pre-cool for the day. ### Ceiling Fans Ceiling fans don’t lower the temperature, but they make a room *feel* cooler using the wind chill effect. Running ceiling fans during peak hours lets you tolerate a slightly higher thermostat setting without noticing the difference, which is exactly what you want. Just remember to turn them off when you leave the room to avoid wasting electricity during peak hours. ### Window Coverings Close your blinds and curtains before the afternoon sun hits them. South- and west-facing windows let in enormous amounts of heat during peak hours. Keeping them covered can reduce how quickly your pre-cooled home warms back up, extending the benefit of all that morning AC work. ## Other Energy Shifts That Amplify Your Savings Pre-cooling your home is the biggest lever you can pull, but it works even better when you shift other high-draw tasks out of peak hours too. Here are a few easy ones: - **Dishwasher:** Your dishwasher generates heat and uses significant electricity. Thankfully, all modern dishwashers (and even most older units) have a scheduling feature. Schedule your dishes to run after 9 PM or before noon. - **Oven cooking:** Cook with a microwave, air fryer, or slow cooker instead of the oven during peak hours. Ovens heat up the kitchen and force your AC to work harder. - **Pool pumps:** If you have a pool, schedule the pump to run overnight or early morning, not during the 4-9 PM window. - **EV charging:** Many EV apps let you schedule charging overnight, which is when rates are at their lowest. If you haven’t set this up yet, it’s one of the easiest ways to cut your bill. - **Dryers:** Like ovens, dryers generate heat and use a lot of electricity. Push laundry to evenings after peak ends or early mornings. None of these changes require a major lifestyle overhaul, they’re mostly just timing shifts. ## Is Your Home Leaking Cool Air? Pre-cooling works best when your home retains what your AC puts into it. If cool air bleeds out quickly, you’ll be fighting an uphill battle. A few things worth checking: - **Air filter:** A dirty filter makes your AC work significantly harder to move the same amount of air. [Change it every 1–3 months](https://www.bonney.com/blog/how-often-should-i-change-my-home-air-filters/), depending on your system and home. - **Attic insulation:** The attic is one of the biggest sources of heat gain in Sacramento homes. Adequate insulation keeps that radiant heat from cooking your living spaces during afternoon peak hours. - **Door and window seals:** Weatherstripping and caulking around drafty doors and windows is inexpensive and makes a meaningful difference in how long pre-cooled air stays put. - [**AC tune-up**](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/)**:** An inefficient or poorly maintained AC system can’t pre-cool effectively, even if you’re running it at the right time. If your system hasn’t been serviced recently, a seasonal tune-up before summer hits is worth every penny. ## When Your Electrical System Is Part of the Problem Do you have an aging electrical panel, [old light fixtures](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/light-fixture-repair/) instead of [LEDs](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/led-lighting/), or an HVAC system that’s drawing more power than it should due to wiring issues? Issues like these can undermine your efficiency and your savings, especially during peak hours. If your AC trips breakers, lights dim when you use certain appliances, or you’re planning upgrades like a [smart thermostat](https://www.bonney.com/blog/benefits-smart-thermostats/), [ceiling fan](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ceiling-fan-installation/), or [EV charger](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/), it’s worth having a licensed electrician take a look before summer hits. ## Choose Bonney AC and Home Efficiency Services in Sacramento Sacramento summers are long, hot, and expensive if you’re not strategic about them.

Repiping is one of the bigger [plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) investments a homeowner can make, especially in California. Let’s take a closer look at home repiping, how much it costs, and the signs that it is time to start considering a repipe in your California home. ![repiping in sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/repipe-1024x768.jpg) ## What is Home Repiping? Repiping isn’t a patch job or a quick fix. It means removing your home’s old water supply pipes and replacing the entire system with new ones, usually PEX or copper. This involves cutting into walls and ceilings, running new lines throughout the house, reconnecting every fixture, and then repairing the drywall once the work is done. It’s a multi-day project, but when your plumbing has reached the end of its life, it’s often more cost-effective than repeatedly paying for individual repairs that keep failing. ## How Much Does It Cost to Repipe a House in California? The final cost of a repiping job in California can depend on a variety of factors (more on this below). However, here’s a realistic range based on California market conditions at the time of publication: - **Small home (1-2 bedrooms, under 1,200 sq ft):** $4,000 – $8,000+ - **Average home (3 bedrooms, 1,500-2,000 sq ft):** $8,000 – $15,000+ - **Larger home (4+ bedrooms, 2,500+ sq ft):** $15,000 – $30,000+ California consistently runs on the higher end of the national cost spectrum, largely due to strict building codes, high labor rates, and regional permit requirements. However, these can also vary between regions in California. For example, homeowners in the Bay Area and Los Angeles typically pay more than those in Sacramento or the Central Valley. ## What Factors Affect the Price of Home Repiping Service? There are several factors that can impact how much your home repiping service costs, including: ### Home Size and Layout The larger your home is, the more piping material and labor you need to get the job done, which naturally drives up the price. Additionally, your layout can impact the final cost. For example, a two-story home costs more to repipe than a single-story home of the same size, because routing pipes between floors adds time and material. ### Number of Plumbing Fixtures Every sink, toilet, shower, bathtub, and appliance connection has to be hooked back up to the new system. Most 3-bedroom homes have two bathrooms plus a kitchen and laundry hookup. Homes with three or more bathrooms, wet bars, outdoor kitchens, or additional plumbing fixtures will see higher costs. ### Pipe Material One of the biggest cost variables in a home repiping service is the material used. Common options include: - **PEX pipe**: The most popular choice for repiping today. It’s flexible, resistant to hard water corrosion, and significantly less expensive than copper. Material costs run roughly $0.50-$0.75 per linear foot, with total project costs on the lower end of the range. - **Copper pipe**: Long-lasting and highly regarded, but considerably more expensive. Material runs $2-$4 per linear foot, and installation requires more skilled labor. Copper is still preferred in some high-end homes or when code requires it. - **CPVC**: A less common option that sits between PEX and copper in terms of cost and performance. For most California homeowners, PEX is the preferred option. It performs well with the hard water common to many parts of the state (including Sacramento) and keeps total project costs more manageable. ### Pipe Accessibility Most pipes run behind standard drywall, which makes replacing them accessible. However, if your home has pipes under a concrete slab, in a tight crawl space, or buried beneath a garage floor, expect additional costs. Slab access in particular can add significantly to a job, requiring much more time, labor, expertise, and occasionally extra material. ### Permits and Inspections California requires permits for repiping work, and costs vary by county. In the Sacramento region alone, permit fees can differ across Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Yolo, Sutter, Yuba, and Nevada counties. Budget roughly $250-$500+ for permits. If you have already paid for a permit, you can [check the status here](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/check-your-permits/). ### Drywall Repair and Finishing Once new pipes are in, the walls and ceilings that were opened need to be patched, textured, and painted. Some contractors include this in their estimate; others don’t. Always clarify upfront. Drywall repairs typically add $300-$900+ to the overall cost, depending on the scope. Complex textures and other specialty features can add to this cost. **Note:** It is important to clarify upfront what your plumber includes in their final painting service. In most cases, your plumber will prime the walls with white paint. However, you may need to paint the patch job to match your existing wall color or hire a painting service (which could add significantly to your final project total). Before getting started, ask your plumbing professional what the walls will look like after the home repiping service is finished to set your expectations and plans accordingly. ## Signs It’s Time to Repipe Your Home Not every leak is a sign you need a full repipe, but certain patterns or larger issues may be cause for concern, including: - **Discolored or rusty water** coming from the tap - **Frequent leaks** that seem to happen in different spots over time - **Low water pressure** throughout the home (not just one fixture) - **Pipes that are 40+ years old**, especially galvanized steel or polybutylene - **Multiple slab leak repairs**. At that point, replacing the whole system often costs less in the long run ## Is Repiping Worth the Cost? For most homeowners with aging plumbing, repiping is a worthwhile investment. Here’s why it often makes financial sense: - Repiping eliminates ongoing repair costs that can add up fast (three or four slab leak repairs alone can run $6,000-$12,000+ without fixing the underlying problem). - New pipes can improve water quality and pressure throughout the house. - Modern PEX piping is highly resistant to California’s notoriously hard water, especially in areas like Sacramento. - Repiping service increases home value and can be a selling point for potential buyers. - It removes risks and liability from old materials like galvanized steel or Kitec piping, which are known to fail. ![home repiping in Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/repipe2-1024x768.jpg) ## How to Get an Accurate Repiping Estimate The best way to know what your specific project will cost is to get an in-home assessment from a licensed plumber. As detailed above, the costs of this service can vary significantly from one home to the next, and a professional needs to evaluate your home’s size, layout, current pipe condition, and local permit requirements before giving you a reliable number. When collecting quotes, make sure each one includes: - Material type and pipe specifications - Labor for installation and fixture reconnection - Permit and inspection fees - Drywall repair and any finishing work - Estimated timeline for completion ## Choose Bonney’s Plumbers in Sacramento If you’re in the [Sacramento area](https://www.bonney.com/service-area/) and considering a repiping service, Bonney’s local plumbing team is here to help.

Temperatures regularly climb past 100°F for days at a time, and when your AC starts acting up, your home’s heat can get dangerous faster than you’d expect. However, it can sometimes be hard to tell if you are feeling hot or if your air conditioner is actually broken. Let’s explore steps you can take to tell if your AC is working so you can get [air conditioning repair](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) at the first signs of a problem. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ac-sacramento.webp) ## First: What Does “Not Working” Actually Look Like? AC problems don’t always mean the system shuts off completely. Your system might be running but not cooling effectively, cycling on and off too frequently, making unusual noises, or driving your energy bill higher than it should be. All of these issues indicate a problem worth investigating. Here’s where to start. ## Check 1: Your Thermostat Settings It sounds almost too simple, but [thermostat settings](https://www.bonney.com/blog/thermostat-settings/) are one of the most common reasons an AC seems to stop working. Before anything else, verify: - The system is set to “Cool” instead of “Heat” or “Fan Only.” The fan-only setting blows air but doesn’t cool it. - The set temperature is lower than the current room temperature. - No one has accidentally bumped the schedule or settings. - The display is on and responding. If the screen is blank, the batteries may be dead. If you have a [smart thermostat](https://www.bonney.com/blog/benefits-smart-thermostats/), it may also reset during an internet outage. - The current temperature reading seems correct. If it is way off, you may be dealing with a thermostat calibration issue. If your thermostat is more than 10 years old or you’ve noticed it running at odd times, it may be misreading room temperature. A faulty thermostat is one of the cheaper fixes in the HVAC world, but it has to be diagnosed correctly first. ## Check 2: The Circuit Breaker Your AC system typically runs on two separate circuits: one for the indoor air handler and one for the outdoor condenser unit. If either trips, part of your system goes down. Head to your electrical panel and look for any breakers in the middle position (tripped) rather than fully on or off. Reset any tripped breakers by switching them fully off first, then back on. Then, check whether your system comes back to life. It is important to note that breakers always trip for a reason, and [repeated breaker tripping](https://www.bonney.com/blog/why-is-my-circuit-breaker-tripping/) could indicate a larger issue with your home’s electrical system. It is best to call a professional at the first sign of a problem. ## Check 3: Your Air Filter A clogged air filter is the single most common cause of reduced AC performance, and in Sacramento, filters get dirty fast. Between [summer pollen](https://www.bonney.com/blog/spring-allergies-and-your-hvac/), dust, and [wildfire smoke](https://www.bonney.com/blog/wildfire-indoor-air-quality/) during fire season, your filter is working overtime. When a filter gets clogged, it restricts airflow so much that the system can’t pull enough air across the evaporator coil. This causes the coil to freeze, which can lead to no cooling at all (or even water damage when the ice melts). Check your filter and replace it if it looks gray or clogged. As a general rule: - Standard 1-inch filters: replace every 30–60 days during heavy-use months - Thicker media filters (4–5 inches): every 6–12 months - Homes with pets or allergy concerns: check more frequently - [Professional air filters](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/): as recommended by your experts This is the easiest and cheapest fix on this entire list. If you haven’t changed your filter recently, start here. ## Check 4: The Outdoor Condenser Unit Go outside and take a look at your outdoor unit. It should be running when your AC is blowing. Look for these red flags: - **Ice on the refrigerant lines:** White frost or ice on the copper lines running into the unit is a sign of restricted airflow or low refrigerant - **Debris buildup:** Leaves, dirt, cottonwood fluff, and other material can clog the fins on the outside of the unit and choke airflow - **Obstructions nearby:** The condenser needs clearance on all sides (at least two feet) to breathe properly. Ensure that nothing is crowding it. You can gently rinse the condenser fins with a garden hose (from the inside out if possible) to clear surface debris. But if you see ice, turn the system off and call a technician to prevent further damage and identify the cause of your freezing. ## Check 5: Your Vents and Registers Walk through your home and check all the supply and return vents. This catches more problems than you’d think: - Make sure supply vents (the ones blowing air) are open and not blocked by furniture, curtains, or rugs - Make sure return air vents (the ones pulling air back to the system) are clear - Look for rooms that feel significantly warmer than others, which can point to duct leaks or a balancing issue Don’t be tempted to close vents in rooms you’re not using. It seems like it would help efficiency, but it actually creates pressure imbalances that can strain the system and reduce performance throughout the house. ## Check 6: The Condensate Drain Line Sacramento has historically dry air. However, with the end of the drought, it may start to feel more muggy in the summer. Your AC removes this humidity from the air as it cools your home, and that water has to go somewhere. It drips off the evaporator coil into a drain pan and exits through a [condensate drain line](https://www.bonney.com/blog/dealing-with-a-clogged-ac-drain/) (usually a white PVC pipe that drains outside or into a floor drain). If that line gets clogged with algae, mold, or debris, the pan overflows. Many modern systems have a safety float switch that shuts down the air conditioner to prevent water damage. [Signs of a clogged condensate line](https://www.bonney.com/blog/signs-condensate-line-clogged/) include: - Water around your indoor air handler - The system shuts off randomly on humid days - A musty smell comes from the vents You can sometimes clear a clog by carefully using a wet/dry vacuum on the drain line opening outside. But if water has already made its way into the unit or the surrounding area, have a technician assess any damage. ## Check 7: How the System Sounds and Smells Pay attention to what your AC is telling you beyond just temperature. Unusual noises and odors are often early warning signs of a larger failure. **Sounds to watch for:** - Grinding or squealing often indicates a motor or belt issue. - Banging or clanking could be a loose or broken component. - Hissing may indicate refrigerant escaping. **Smells to watch for:** - Musty or moldy odor, which is likely mold in the ductwork or on the coil. - Burning smells could be an electrical issue. Turn the system off and call a professional. - Unusual chemical smells may indicate refrigerant, which requires immediate professional attention. If you notice grinding, banging, or a burning smell, turn the system off. Running a struggling system can turn a manageable repair into a full replacement. ## Choose Bonney for AC Repair in Sacramento Bonney’s NATE-certified technicians proudly serve greater Sacramento and the surrounding areas with same-day and emergency AC service.

However, before your new fan goes up, it is important to check the box rating. Skipping this step can lead to a wobbling fan, damaged wiring, or (in a worst-case scenario) a fan that comes down from the ceiling entirely. Let’s take a closer look at ceiling fan box ratings. ## Inside the Ceiling Electrical Box You might think that swapping out a light for a ceiling fan is a simple one-for-one trade. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. A standard light fixture box is designed to hold a fixed load (typically just the weight of a light kit, which doesn’t move). A ceiling fan is a different animal. It hangs from the ceiling and rotates constantly, creating both downward force and lateral movement. That combination puts stress on the mounting box that a basic fixture box simply isn’t built to handle. If you mount a ceiling fan to an undersized or wrong-rated box, you can expect: - Excessive wobbling, even at lower speeds - Loosening screws and hardware over time - Damage to the drywall or joists - Electrical connection failures from constant vibration - In serious cases, the fan pulls free from the ceiling That last one is rare, but it happens in extreme cases where the ceiling fan is attached to the wrong box (often also alongside poor installation and running the fan despite severe wobbling). ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/ceiling-fan-install-1.png) ## What “Fan-Rated” Actually Means When you see a ceiling box labeled as fan-rated (sometimes called fan-approved), it means the box has been tested and certified to support both the weight and the dynamic movement of a ceiling fan. The [National Electrical Code](https://www.necanet.org/topics/codesandstandards/the-nec) (NEC) requires that ceiling fans be supported by boxes specifically listed for fan use. Here’s what sets them apart from standard light fixture boxes: - **Weight capacity:** Fan-rated boxes are typically rated to support 35 to 70 pounds, depending on the model. Meanwhile, standard boxes may only handle 35 pounds of static weight. - **Construction:** Fan-rated boxes are usually made of metal (though heavy-duty plastic versions exist) with reinforced threads and mounting points designed to handle vibration. - **Bracing:** Many fan-rated boxes include or work with an expandable brace bar that fits between ceiling joists. This is especially useful when you’re installing a fan where there’s no joist directly overhead. - **Labeling:** By code, every fan-rated box must be clearly marked. Look for language like “acceptable for fan support” or “listed for ceiling fan use” printed on the box itself. If you pull down your existing light fixture and the box doesn’t have that language, it’s not rated for a fan (no matter how solid it feels). ## The Two Main Types of Fan-Rated Boxes Understanding what’s available makes the shopping process a lot less confusing. There are two main categories: ### 1. Brace-Mounted Fan Boxes These pair with an expanding metal brace that spans between two ceiling joists. You insert the brace through the existing ceiling hole, expand it until it locks against the joists, and then attach the box. A brace-mounted fan box is the go-to option when there’s no joist directly where you want the fan, and it doesn’t require any attic access. ### 2. Joist-Mounted Fan Boxes These attach directly to a ceiling joist or blocking. They’re simpler and very secure, but they require that a joist runs through the right spot (or that a professional adds blocking in the attic). These are common in new constructions or when an electrician is already doing more extensive work. ## What About “Heavy-Duty” or “Extra-Large” Fans? Standard fan-rated boxes work well for most ceiling fans, but not all. If you’re installing a larger fan (particularly one with a blade span over 60 inches or a fan that includes a heavy light kit), you may need a box rated for a higher weight load. Some fans, especially larger or heavier models, specify in their installation instructions that you need a box rated for at least 50 or 70 pounds. Always check the fan’s manual and your ceiling box before buying your mounting hardware. Additionally, downrod-mounted fans (fans that hang several inches below the ceiling on a rod) put more torque on the box than flush-mounted or hugger fans. If you’re installing a fan on a vaulted or high ceiling with a long downrod, make sure your box is rated accordingly. ## When to Call a Professional Electrician for Ceiling Fan Installation If any part of this process feels unclear (or if you open up the ceiling and find old wiring, deteriorated insulation, or a box that’s been jury-rigged to the drywall), it’s essential to bring in a licensed electrician. Beyond the box itself, ceiling fan installations involve: - [Verifying the circuit can handle the additional load](https://www.bonney.com/blog/summer-electrical-checklist/) - Checking the wiring gauge - Ensuring the switch is compatible (especially for fans with remote or smart controls) - Confirming local code compliance A professional installation removes the guesswork (and labor) from this process. ## Choose Bonney: Ceiling Fan Installation in Sacramento At Bonney, our licensed electricians handle ceiling fan installations throughout the Sacramento area, making sure every component (including the mounting box) is up to code and built to last.

Maybe the tap water has a chlorine smell. Maybe your dishes come out spotty. Maybe there is white buildup around your faucets or showerhead. But [water quality](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-testing-services/) affects more than what you drink. The water running through your home can impact your hair, skin, teeth, plumbing, appliances, and overall comfort every single day. In the Sacramento area, where water quality can vary by neighborhood and hard water is common, understanding what is in your water is an important part of protecting your home and your family. ![water quality sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/waterquality-1024x683.jpg) ## Key Takeaways - **Water quality affects your daily routine:** Hardness, chlorine, pH levels, and total dissolved solids can influence how your water feels, tastes, smells, and performs throughout your home. - **Your hair, skin, and teeth can all be affected by water:** Hard water can make soap and shampoo harder to rinse away, chlorine can affect taste and odor, and fluoride levels are closely tied to dental health. - **Testing is the only way to know what is in your water:** A professional water quality test can help identify whether your home may benefit from a water softener, whole-home filtration system, reverse osmosis system, or another treatment solution. ## Why Water Quality Matters in Your Home Your home’s water is part of almost everything you do. You drink it, cook with it, brush your teeth with it, shower in it, wash clothes with it, clean dishes with it, and run appliances with it. When your water has high mineral content, excess chlorine, pH imbalance, or elevated total dissolved solids, those issues can show up in small but frustrating ways: - Dry or itchy skin after showering - Hair that feels dull, brittle, or weighed down - Spotty dishes and cloudy glassware - White crusty buildup on [faucets and showerheads](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/faucets-sinks/) - A strong chlorine smell or taste - Soap that does not lather well - Water that tastes metallic, bitter, or unpleasant - Scale buildup inside water heaters and appliances The EPA lists pH, total dissolved solids, odor, iron, manganese, and other qualities under secondary drinking water standards, which are guidelines related to taste, smell, staining, deposits, and other noticeable water-quality concerns. For example, the EPA’s secondary standard for pH is 6.5 to 8.5, and the secondary standard for total dissolved solids is 500 mg/L. In other words, your water may not look alarming, but it can still affect the way your home feels and functions. ## How Water Quality Can Affect Your Hair If your hair feels dry, heavy, frizzy, or harder to manage after washing, your water may be part of the problem. Hard water contains higher levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals can interfere with the way shampoo lathers and rinses. Instead of washing away cleanly, products may leave behind residue that makes hair feel coated or dull. Over time, hard water can make hair feel: - Dry or rough - Less shiny - More prone to tangling - Weighed down by the buildup - Harder to fully rinse clean Hard water does not usually mean your water is unsafe, but it can make everyday bathing and grooming more frustrating. Research reviews have noted that hard water itself is not known to have major adverse health effects, but its mineral content can still create household comfort issues. For homeowners who constantly feel like they need clarifying shampoo or extra conditioner, a water quality test can help determine whether hardness levels are contributing to the issue. ## How Water Quality Can Affect Your Skin Your skin is exposed to your home’s water every time you shower, wash your hands, bathe your kids, or rinse your face. Hard water can make it more difficult to rinse away soap and body wash. That leftover residue may leave skin feeling dry, tight, or irritated. Some people also notice that lotion seems to be needed more often when their home has hard water. Water quality may affect your skin by contributing to: - Dryness after showering - A tight or filmy feeling - Soap residue that does not rinse cleanly - More noticeable irritation for sensitive skin - Dull or uncomfortable skin texture Chlorine can also play a role. Municipal water suppliers commonly use chlorine as a disinfectant because it helps control bacteria and pathogens in drinking water. The EPA regulates disinfectants such as chlorine under national drinking water standards. Chlorine is important for public water safety, but elevated residual chlorine can affect the smell and taste of water. Some homeowners also notice that heavily chlorinated water feels harsh during showers or baths. If your skin feels consistently dry or uncomfortable and you also notice water spots, mineral deposits, or a chlorine smell, water testing is a smart place to start. ## How Water Quality Can Affect Your Teeth Water quality can also play a role in oral health. Many communities add fluoride to drinking water because fluoride helps prevent tooth decay. The American Dental Association notes that fluoride in water is used to help reduce cavities and support dental health. That said, overall water quality still matters. If your water tastes unpleasant, smells strongly of chlorine, or looks cloudy, your family may drink less tap water and rely more on bottled water or sugary beverages. That can indirectly affect both hydration and dental habits. Water quality can also affect your daily routine in small ways: - Metallic or bitter-tasting water can make brushing unpleasant - Strong chlorine taste may discourage kids from drinking tap water - High TDS can affect taste and mouthfeel - Cloudy or off-color water can make families question whether tap water is okay to use If you are concerned about your home’s drinking water, testing can help you understand what is actually present before choosing a filtration or reverse osmosis solution. ## How Water Quality Affects Your Appliances and Plumbing Hard water can leave mineral scale inside pipes, fixtures, and water-using appliances. Over time, that buildup can reduce efficiency and shorten the lifespan of systems that rely on water every day. Hard water and poor water quality can affect: - Water heaters - Dishwashers - Washing machines - Coffee makers - Ice makers - Faucets and showerheads - Pipes and plumbing fixtures Scale buildup can make [water heaters](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) work harder, which may increase energy use and contribute to wear over time. It can also reduce water flow at fixtures or create stubborn buildup that is difficult to clean. If you have ever scrubbed white crust off a faucet, cleaned cloudy glassware, or wondered why your showerhead sprays unevenly, you may already be seeing signs of hard water. ## Common Signs Your Water Quality Needs Attention You do not need to be a water expert to notice when something feels off. Sacramento-area homeowners often schedule water testing after noticing one or more of these signs: - White mineral buildup around faucets or showerheads - Spotty dishes or cloudy glasses - Dry skin or dull hair after showering - Soap or shampoo that does not lather well - A chlorine smell or taste - You recently moved into a new home - You have never had your home’s water tested - Metallic, bitter, or unpleasant-tasting water - Cloudy or slightly discolored water - Reduced water pressure over time - Frequent appliance issues related to scale These symptoms do not always point to the same issue. Hardness, chlorine, pH imbalance, and total dissolved solids can all create different problems. That is why testing matters. You may also consider testing if your household dynamic changes. For example, older adults, young children, or individuals with chronic illnesses can be especially sensitive to water quality issues. So, if you are growing your family or planning to move an older parent into your home, don’t wait to give your water quality the attention it needs. ## What Bonney Water Quality Tests For Bonney’s professional water testing services help Sacramento-area homeowners better understand what is flowing through their pipes. Our water quality testing focuses on some of the most important indicators for residential homes: ### Water Hardness Water hardness measures minerals like calcium and magnesium. High hardness levels can lead to scale buildup, spotty dishes, dry-feeling skin, and reduced appliance efficiency. ### pH Level pH measures how acidic or alkaline your water is. The EPA’s secondary guideline for drinking water pH is 6.5 to 8.5. Water outside that range may contribute to taste issues, deposits, or corrosion concerns. ### Chlorine Chlorine is used by municipal water systems to help disinfect drinking water. Testing can help determine whether residual chlorine may be contributing to taste or odor concerns. ### Total Dissolved Solids Total dissolved solids, or TDS, measure dissolved minerals, salts, metals, and other substances in your water. A high TDS reading does not automatically mean your water is unsafe, but it can affect taste and may point to issues worth investigating. The EPA’s secondary standard for TDS is 500 mg/L. ## What Happens After a Water Quality Test? Once your water has been tested, Bonney can walk you through what the results mean and recommend the right next step for your home. Depending on your water chemistry, that may include: - A water softener to reduce hardness - Whole-home carbon filtration to help with chlorine, taste, or odor concerns - A reverse osmosis system for kitchen drinking water - A pH neutralizer if acidic water is a concern - Another solution based on your home’s specific water profile Every home is different. A house in Elk Grove may have different water concerns than a home in Roseville, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Natomas, or downtown Sacramento. Testing gives you a clearer path forward instead of choosing a system based on guesswork. ## Is Better Water Quality Worth It? For many homeowners, yes. Better water quality can make your home feel more comfortable, protect your plumbing and appliances, and improve the way your water tastes, smells, and performs. It can also make daily routines like showering, brushing your teeth, doing laundry, and washing dishes feel easier and more reliable. You may not think about your water every day, but you use it every day. When something is off, it can affect almost every part of your home. ## Schedule Water Testing in Sacramento Don’t guess about what is in your water.

Yes. Hard water can make shampoo harder to lather and rinse away, which may leave hair feeling dry, dull, heavy, or coated with residue. Can hard water affect my skin? Hard water can leave soap residue behind, which may make skin feel dry, tight, or irritated after showering. If you already have sensitive skin, you may notice the effects more. Does water quality affect teeth? Water quality can affect the way water tastes and how often your family chooses to drink tap water. Fluoride in community water is also used to help prevent tooth decay, according to the American Dental Association. Why does my tap water smell like chlorine? Municipal water systems often use chlorine to disinfect drinking water. A chlorine smell or taste may mean residual chlorine is noticeable at your tap. A water test can help determine whether filtration may improve taste and odor. What does TDS mean in water? TDS stands for total dissolved solids. It measures dissolved minerals, salts, metals, and other substances in water. High TDS can affect taste and may indicate that additional testing or treatment is worth considering. Is Sacramento water hard? Hard water is common throughout the greater Sacramento area, but levels can vary by neighborhood and water source. A professional water test is the best way to know how hard your home’s water is. What is the best way to improve my home's water quality? The best solution depends on your water test results. Some homes need a water softener, while others may benefit more from carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, pH correction, or a combination of systems. When should I test my home's water? You should consider testing your water if you notice mineral buildup, spotty dishes, dry skin, dull hair, chlorine smell, unpleasant taste, cloudy water, or reduced water pressure. It is also smart to test after buying a new home or if you have lived in your home for years without testing. **Categories:** Water Quality --- ### [Why Is My House So Dusty? (HVAC, Duct, and Air Quality Causes)](https://www.bonney.com/blog/why-is-my-house-so-dusty-hvac-duct-air-quality-causes/) **Published:** July 16, 2026 **Author:** Sarah **Content:** Excessive dust in a home is almost always a symptom of an underlying issue with your HVAC system, your ductwork, or a gap in your home’s ability to filter and circulate air properly. In Sacramento, where dry summers, agricultural dust, and wildfire smoke season are all part of life, [indoor air quality issues](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) can be hard to ignore. Let’s explore the most common causes of home dust (and what you can actually do about them). ![Professional replacing a dirty air filter](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/replacing-your-air-filter.jpg) ## Your Air Filter Is Clogged or Undersized Your HVAC system’s air filter is designed to trap airborne particles before they circulate through your home. When it gets clogged, it can no longer do that job. Dust that would have been captured just keeps moving through your system and settling on every surface. But filter neglect isn’t the only issue. The type of filter matters too. Filters are rated on a MERV scale (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value), which measures how effectively they capture particles of different sizes: - **MERV 1–4:** Very basic filtration, captures large debris but misses most fine dust - **MERV 5–8:** Standard residential range, decent for general dust and pollen - **MERV 9–12:** Better filtration, captures finer particles including some mold spores and pet dander - **MERV 13–16:** High-efficiency filtration, captures very fine particles including some bacteria Many homes are running a MERV 4 or lower filter (AKA the cheap fiberglass kind that protects the equipment but doesn’t do much for air quality). Stepping up to a MERV 8 or higher can make a noticeable difference in how quickly dust accumulates on surfaces. One caveat: very high-MERV filters can restrict airflow if your system isn’t designed to handle the added resistance. Ask an HVAC technician before jumping to the highest rating you can find. ## Your Ducts Are Leaking Your ductwork is the network of channels that carries conditioned air from your HVAC system to every room in the house. When ducts develop leaks, gaps, or loose connections, they actively pull in unconditioned air from attics, crawl spaces, wall cavities, and other areas that are loaded with dust, insulation particles, and debris. That contaminated air then gets distributed through your home with every cycle of your system. Signs your ducts may be contributing to your dust problem include: - Some rooms are consistently dustier than others. - You notice more dust near certain vents. - Your system runs longer than it used to but doesn’t seem to cool or heat as effectively. - You can see visible gaps or disconnected sections if you have accessible ductwork in the attic or garage. In Sacramento’s older housing stock, duct leakage is extremely common. Ducts that were installed decades ago may have never been sealed properly, or they’ve developed gaps over time as materials expand, contract, and age. When air leaks into your ducts, it replaces your conditioned air with air from dirty, unfiltered spaces. A duct inspection and sealing can dramatically reduce both your dust problem and your energy bills at the same time. ## Your Have Return Vent Issues Every forced-air HVAC system has two types of vents: supply vents that push conditioned air into rooms, and return vents that pull air back to the system. The balance between these two matters more than most homeowners realize. When a home doesn’t have enough return air capacity, the system creates negative pressure in certain areas. That negative pressure has to be satisfied somehow, so air gets pulled in through gaps in the building envelope (around doors, through attic hatches, behind outlets) bypassing the filter entirely. That unfiltered air brings dust directly into your living space. This is especially common in older homes and in rooms where doors are frequently kept closed. Bedrooms with no return vent and a closed door are notorious for this. The room goes slightly negative, and air sneaks in through every gap it can find. An HVAC technician can assess your return air setup and recommend solutions, which may include slightly undercutting interior doors or adding return vents to problematic rooms. ## Gaps in the Building Envelope Your home’s building envelope is the boundary between conditioned interior space and the outside world, including your walls, attic floor, crawl space, windows, and doors. Gaps and cracks in that envelope allow outside air (and everything in it) to infiltrate your home constantly, regardless of whether your HVAC is running. In Sacramento, that means summer dust, pollen, and smoke particles are finding their way in, typically through: - Gaps around recessed lighting in the ceiling (these are a major pathway to the attic) - Attic hatches without proper sealing or insulation - Gaps around plumbing and electrical penetrations - Old or poorly sealed windows and doors - Fireplace dampers left open Air sealing is one of the most cost-effective home improvements you can make. This service reduces dust infiltration, improves comfort, and lowers energy use all at once. ## Poor Outdoor Air Quality Making It Inside Sacramento sits in the Central Valley, and the geography creates air quality challenges that homeowners feel inside their homes. Dust and particulates come from multiple sources throughout the year, including: - Agricultural activity and dry, windy conditions in spring and fall - [Wildfire smoke](https://www.bonney.com/blog/wildfire-indoor-air-quality/) during fire season, which can last from late spring through early winter - Valley heat inversions that trap pollutants at ground level - Pollen from oak, grass, and other regional plants When outdoor air quality is poor and your home’s envelope has gaps, a significant amount of that outdoor particulate matter ends up inside. This is why some Sacramento homeowners notice that dust problems get worse during specific seasons or weather events. During high smoke and dust events, keeping windows closed and running your HVAC system with a quality filter is the most effective first line of defense. ## Indoor Factors Impacting Air Quality Skin cells, pet dander, fabric fibers from furniture and clothing, cooking particles, and residue from candles or air fresheners can all contribute to the dust load your HVAC system has to manage. Homes with pets tend to notice this most often. Dog and cat dander is lightweight and stays airborne for a long time before settling, which means it can circulate around your home repeatedly before a filter ever gets a chance to catch it. The same goes for fine fibers your upholstered furniture, bedding, and carpet shed, particularly in homes with older or heavier textiles. While a high-quality filter can help significantly, it is worth setting realistic expectations: no filter or air purification system eliminates dust entirely. What a good system does is reduce how much recirculates, slow down how quickly it accumulates, and capture the finer particles that would otherwise settle into every corner of your home. Routine cleaning, like vacuuming, washing bedding regularly, and grooming pets frequently, works alongside your HVAC system (rather than being replaced by it). ## Solutions Worth Considering If you’re dealing with chronic dust and you’ve worked through the basics, here are the upgrades that tend to make the biggest difference: - [**Whole-home air purifiers**](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/)**:** Installed directly into your HVAC system, these go far beyond what a standard filter can do. Options include media air cleaners, electronic air cleaners, and UV light systems that target biological contaminants. - **Duct sealing and testing:** A technician uses a blower door or duct blaster test to measure leakage and then seals gaps with mastic or foil tape. The efficiency gains alone often pay for the service over time. - **HEPA filtration systems:** For homes with severe air quality concerns, supplemental HEPA filtration can capture particles as small as 0.3 microns, which are much finer than any standard HVAC filter. - [**Humidity control**](https://www.bonney.com/blog/indoor-humidity-guide/)**:** Dry air allows dust particles to stay suspended longer. In Sacramento’s dry climate, a whole-home humidifier set to 40 to 50 percent relative humidity can reduce the amount of airborne dust settling on surfaces. It is important to note that an HVAC professional (like those at Bonney) can complete most of these services same-day, including whole-home air purifier installation or sealing for ductwork, plenums, and registrars. The exception to this same-day, in-house service is duct leakage tests. Outside of new installations, these are completed by a third party company as a Title 24 requirement. Your HVAC technician can help coordinate this service and follow through with any next steps needed to boost your indoor air quality and prevent unnecessary dust. ## Choose Bonney: Local HVAC and Air Quality Experts The air quality experts at Bonney offer whole-home air filter installation, duct inspections, air sealing, and a full range of indoor air quality solutions for Sacramento-area homeowners.

Between California’s push toward zero-emission transportation and the sheer convenience of waking up every morning with a “full tank,” more homeowners are making the switch. But, once the car is in the garage, you might wonder what you need for an [EV charger installation](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/). The answer almost always involves your [electrical panel](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electrical-panel-replacement/). And depending on how old your home is or how much electrical load you’re already running, it may mean an upgrade before a single charger gets installed. ![Tesla EV Charger](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image-1024x1024.png)Here’s what you need to know before your EV charger project gets started. ## First: Why Does the Panel Even Matter? Your electrical panel (also called a breaker box or load center) is the central hub that distributes power throughout your home. Every circuit in your house, from your refrigerator to your HVAC system, draws from it. A Level 2 EV charger (the kind most homeowners install for overnight home charging) typically requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit with a 40- to 60-amp breaker. That’s a meaningful chunk of power (roughly equivalent to adding a large electric dryer or central air conditioner to your electrical system). If your panel doesn’t have the capacity to support that additional load, you’ll have a problem. And in Sacramento’s older housing stock, that’s a very real possibility. ## What Size Panel Do You Currently Have? Electrical panels are rated in amps, and that rating tells you how much total power your home can draw at once. The most common ratings you’ll encounter are: - **100-amp panels:** Common in homes from the 1960s through the 1980s. May be sufficient for a L1 EV charger, but it depends heavily on what else is running in the home. - **150- to 200-amp panels:** The modern standard for most homes. Usually has enough capacity for an EV charger, though an electrician still needs to verify available space and load. - **200-amp panels with high electrical demand:** Homes with electric HVAC, water heaters, hot tubs, or other high-draw appliances may be running close to capacity even with a 200-amp panel. These situations require a careful load calculation. The bottom line: panel size alone doesn’t tell the full story. What matters is how much of that capacity is already spoken for. ## The Load Calculation: What It Is and Why It Matters Before any licensed electrician installs an EV charger, they should perform a load calculation. During this process, they will review your home’s total electrical demand to see your panel’s capacity. This involves looking at: - The wattage of your HVAC system - Your water heater type (electric vs. gas) - Kitchen and laundry appliances - Any other high-draw circuits already in use - The square footage of your home If the calculation shows your panel has enough available capacity, you may be able to add a charger with minimal panel updates. If it shows you’re already close to the limit, adding a 40- to 60-amp circuit could push you over, and that’s where a panel upgrade becomes necessary. ## Signs You Probably Need a Panel Upgrade Beyond the numbers, there are warning signs that your panel may be overdue for an upgrade regardless of the EV charger question, including: - Breakers that trip frequently, especially under normal household loads - Lights that dim when large appliances kick on - A panel that uses fuses instead of circuit breakers - A Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel (these have well-documented safety concerns and are typically recommended for replacement) - No available breaker slots for an [electrical circuit upgrade](https://www.bonney.com/blog/electrical-circuit-upgrades/) - Your panel is more than 25 to 30 years old Any one of these is a reason to have a licensed electrician evaluate your panel. Several of them together, and an upgrade should be near the top of your home improvement list, EV charger or not. ## Your EV Charger Options and Their Power Requirements Understanding what you’re actually installing helps clarify the panel conversation. There are two realistic home charging options: ### Level 1 Charging (120V) L1 EVSE uses a standard household outlet and requires no electrical upgrades at all. The catch: it’s slow. Most EVs gain only 3 to 5 miles of range per hour on Level 1, meaning a depleted battery could take 24 to 40 hours to fully charge. For drivers with short daily commutes who can leave the car plugged in overnight regularly, it’s workable. For most people, it’s frustrating. ## Level 2 Charging (240V) This is the setup most homeowners want. A Level 2 charger delivers 15 to 30 miles of range per hour, meaning most EVs charge fully in 4 to 8 hours overnight. It requires: - A dedicated 240-volt circuit - Typically a 40- to 60-amp breaker - hardwired charger unit - Available panel capacity Level 2 is the practical choice for almost every EV owner, but it demands more from your electrical system. ## What a Panel Upgrade Actually Involves If your home does need a panel upgrade, here’s what to expect from the process: - **Permit and inspection:** In California, panel upgrades require a permit and must be inspected by the local building department. - **Utility coordination:** Upgrading from a 100-amp to a 200-amp service often requires coordination with [SMUD](https://www.smud.org) or [PG&E](https://www.pge.com/en.html) (depending on your Sacramento-area location) to upgrade the service entrance. This adds some scheduling time to the project, but it is a routine process utilities handle regularly. - **Timeline:** Most panel upgrades can be completed in a single day for the electrical work, with the inspection and utility coordination adding 3 – 4 additional weeks. - **Cost vs. value:** Panel upgrades costs will depend on your situation; however, in almost every case, they add resale value to your home, improve safety, and create capacity for future upgrades like solar, battery storage, or additional EV chargers. ## California Incentives Worth Knowing About Before you finalize your budget, look into available incentives. California and local utilities offer programs that can offset the cost of EV charger installation and sometimes panel upgrades: - **SMUD customers** in the Sacramento area may qualify for rebates on EV charger equipment and installation through [SMUD’s EV programs](https://www.smud.org/Going-Green/Electric-Vehicles/Residential). - **PG&E customers** in surrounding areas have [similar rebate programs](https://www.pge.com/en/clean-energy/electric-vehicles/getting-started-with-electric-vehicles/residential-electric-vehicle-charging-rebate.html%5C) for both - panel upgrades and Level 2 charger installation. - **Federal tax credits** may be available for EV charger equipment through the [Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit](https://www.irs.gov/credits-deductions/alternative-fuel-vehicle-refueling-property-credit). Consult a tax professional for current eligibility. These programs change periodically, so it’s worth exploring current offerings before your project begins. ## When to Call a Licensed Electrician The short answer: before you buy the charger. An electrician can evaluate your panel, run the load calculation, and give you an honest picture of what your installation will actually require. That conversation prevents surprises (like discovering mid-project that your panel needs replacement) and ensures the work is done to code the first time. ## Choose Bonney for EV Charger Installation Near Me Not every EV charger installation requires a panel upgrade, but every installation requires an honest evaluation of your panel first. The age of your home, your current electrical load, and the charger you plan to install all factor into the answer. Get that assessment done early, understand your options, and you’ll be pulling into a fully charged car every morning before you know it. At Bonney, our licensed electricians handle EV charger installations and panel upgrades throughout the Sacramento area.

It commonly fuels [water heating](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/), [general heating](https://www.bonney.com/heating/), and home appliances (primarily gas stovetops, grills, and drying machines). This resource is affordable, and it burns cleaner than fossil fuels—making it an environmentally-friendly alternative. However, gas line leaks can be dangerous for homes and businesses. The [trusted plumbers](https://www.bonney.com/2020/09/7-plumbing-company-qualities/) at Bonney are skilled in [gas line repairs](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/gas-line-repair/), replacements, and detection services. Here is a quick guide to understanding and detecting gas leaks in your home. ## What is a Gas Line Leak? First, you may be wondering, “What is a gas leak?” The lines that run natural gas through buildings to various appliances can become compromised, releasing natural gas into the air. Homes that use natural gas in any capacity run the risk of encountering a leak. Sometimes, these leaks are subtle and difficult to detect. Other times, these leaks are noticeable by a wide range of signals—most distinctly their smells. ## What Causes a Gas Line Leak? Thankfully, gas leaks are relatively uncommon, though they do happen. Gas line leaks can have a wide variety of potential causes, including: - Old and/or poorly-maintained gas lines or appliances - Deteriorating pieces or fittings between gas lines and appliances - Disrupted connections to gas-powered appliances - Movement of old piping disrupting old, brittle sealant - Increased home gas needs that are unsupported by old equipment - Appliance issues or malfunctions - Gas pipes rusting from ground moisture Having gas-powered appliances comes with the task of keeping them maintained by local [plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) and [electrical](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) experts and staying alert for potential signs of a gas leak. ## Signs of a Gas Line Leak ### Natural Gas Sulfur or Rotten Egg Smell Natural gas is completely odorless; however, companies add the foul-smelling compound methanethiol (or methyl mercaptan) to help indicate leaks. This is a strong and distinct smell that is often described as resembling rotten eggs, smelly socks, rotting cabbage, or simply sulfur-like. If you even faintly smell methanethiol, this often indicates a natural gas leak. While the odor is the primary sign of a gas leak, it is important to note that this smell is not always a reliable indicator. This is especially true for underground gas leaks. Certain types of soil can filter out the smell and prevent detection. ### Higher Gas Bills When your home’s gas is leaking, you will find yourself paying more for your gas bills. However, other factors can contribute to higher bills, such as changing seasons and increased usage. When all other considerations are accounted for, a leak could be the source of unusually high gas costs. ### Air Bubbles: Subtle Gas Leak Indicator If you suspect that you have a natural gas leak, one way to tell is by testing your gas lines for air bubbles. For this test, you simply mix dish soap and water, then apply the mixture to your gas lines. If you have a leak, you will notice small bubbles forming within the soap. ### Hissing or Whistling Pipes: Substantial Gas Leak Indicator Gas leaks can produce whistling or hissing sounds as the air escapes your gas line. **Hissing sounds indicate that natural gas is quickly and steadily leaking into the air.** You must act immediately and call PG&E (1-800-743-5000) when encountering this sign of a gas leak. ### Subtle Health Signals of Natural Gas Leak A natural gas leak can create subtle health signs, such as irritated eyes, nose, and throat, as well as increased eye tearing. It is important to note the possibility of a natural gas leak when multiple individuals within a single household are experiencing these symptoms. ### Drastic Health Signals of Natural Gas Leak Exposure to natural gas can also cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, lack of coordination, coughing, shortness of breath, and fatigue. While these symptoms often resemble the flu and could have other causes, it is important to remain aware of a gas leak as the potential source of these health issues. ### Unusual Animal or Insect Behavior If you have pets in your home, you might know that their senses are often more sensitive than yours. This could help them detect a gas leak before you notice the smell yourself. Additionally, the health effects of natural gas impact animals in similar ways as humans, but they might experience these issues more immediately because of their smaller composition. As for insects, many of them are drawn to the smell of natural gas, so unusual insect behavior near a gas line or meter could indicate a leak. ### White Fog or Haze Natural gas is colorless, which means it can rarely be visibly detected. However, if you notice a smoke-like fog around your gas lines, it could indicate a leak. This haze can occur when the natural gas reacts with water vapor in the earth’s atmosphere. ### Dead Plants or Grass House plants are hard to take care of, and it is not unusual to find them wilting away. Dying houseplants could be signs of several different plant issues, but this also could be a sign of a gas leak. This applies especially to plants placed close to your gas lines, or if you are sure that your plant is otherwise healthy and properly cared for. Natural gas leaks can cause your plants to suffocate, discolor, and die. Outdoor or underground leaks can cause the grass over your gas line to die. You may also notice bubbling in the soil. If you need peace of mind when you see dying plants, contact the experts at Bonney for a gas line inspection. ## What Should I Do If I Have a Gas Leak? If you suspect a gas leak, first **leave the area immediately and call PG&E at 1-800-743-5000**. Once they have confirmed that you are not in danger, give the experts at Bonney a call. We offer quick gas leak detection, repair, and line replacement services. We work quickly to protect your home, protect your health, and get you back to normalcy following a gas leak. ## Key Takeaways: - Gas lines or appliance fittings can fail over time due to age, corrosion, loose connections, or shifting pipe seals. - A telltale odor (added to otherwise odorless natural gas) often signals a leak, but leaks may also show up as hissing sounds, bubbling at pipe joints, or dead plants/grass around buried lines. - Exposure to leaking gas can cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, respiratory irritation, and fatigue. - If you suspect a leak, leave the premises immediately, call emergency services or the gas utility, and hire a qualified technician to locate and repair the issue. ## Bonney Sacramento Gas Line Repair Services Whether you have a confirmed gas leak that needs to be repaired or you simply want the peace of mind in knowing that you do not have a leak, Bonney is here for you.

There’s ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/LED-backyard-lighting-300x200.jpg)a long list of reasons why they’re becoming popular; LED lights are more energy efficient, longer lasting, and durable. They generate virtually no heat, they don’t emit UV rays, and they also light up instantly when you flip the switch. Although LED lighting may have a higher initial cost than incandescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs, the cost is quickly recouped over time in lower electricity costs. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, electricity used for artificial lighting in the U.S. could be cut by nearly half by 2030 through the adoption of high efficiency LEDs. American cities across the country have switched or are switching to LED technology. One of the brightest cities on the planet, Las Vegas, is switching to LED streetlights. Local officials in Seattle have completely replaced all residential streetlights from sodium to LEDs. Over the past few years, Los Angeles has been replacing their streetlamps with the power of LED lighting. LA officials calculate energy savings amounting to at least $7 million, plus $2.5 million in annual avoided maintenance costs. Bridges and monuments are also getting into the LED act. The San Francisco Bay Bridge was recently transformed into a dazzling display of 25,000 individually programmed LED lights that shine brightly from dusk til dawn. The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France is adorned with 20,000 LED lights that light up the sky on a nightly basis. The iconic New Year’s Eve Times Square Ball is decked out in bold and bright LED’s to countdown the New Year annually. Even Sacramento and the Tower Bridge have got LED Fever. Community leaders are raising money to replace all the Tower Bridge lights so it pulsates with LED technology. They’re calling it “Re-power the Tower”. Don’t you think it’s time to make the switch to LEDs for your home? Join the LED lighting revolution! Everybody’s doing it, and with good reason, due to LED’s numerous advantages over other lighting choices. LED lighting is extremely long-lasting and has an average lifespan of 11 years or more, which means you don’t have to get out the ladder and change a light build every few months. LED lights are also very energy efficient. They use just 10 percent of the energy of incandescent lights and less than half the energy of fluorescent bulbs. There are numerous benefits to LED lighting besides energy efficiency and long life, LED lights are durable and don’t break easily. They generate virtually no heat so they’re cool to the touch. With LEDs you can direct the light where you want it, which means no light is wasted. LEDs also don’t emit UV or infrared and contain no mercury like an incandescent bulb, which makes them more environmentally friendly. LED lights are not only great indoors, but, they’re also useful for the exterior of your home. Outdoor lighting has three basic tasks; safety, security, and enhancing your outdoor space. Go beyond the porchlight and spread the light throughout your property so in the evening you can enjoy your backyard space. LED lights are used especially for effect, style, and design so the idea is not to try to get a huge amount of light unless it’s for security. An added bonus to LED lighting outdoors is it doesn’t attract bugs and moths like other types of bulbs. New research suggests that the type of bulb you use for outdoor lighting can have an effect on the amount of bugs flying around. Since LED lights produce little to no UV light and a miniscule amount of heat, it makes them less attractive to bugs.

HVAC solutions have innovated throughout the years for environmental friendliness and affordability. One key solution popular among Sacramento residents is the whole-house fan. Here is everything you need to know about staying comfortable while saving on your air conditioning costs with a whole-house fan. ## **What is a Whole-House Fan?** A whole-house fan is an affordable cooling method that takes advantage of the fresh outdoor air. By opening your windows at night or in the early morning, this installation draws the cool air in, circulates it throughout your home, and then draws it up into your attic. Your attic is known to harbor warm air, which is then slowly redistributed throughout your home each time your AC system takes a break. By flushing out this warm air, a whole-house fan can help you keep your home cooler throughout the day, even after you have turned this system off. ## **Benefits of Whole-House Fans** When installing a whole-house fan, the primary benefit that homeowners seek is lower energy consumption; however, this investment provides a wide range of benefits to consider. - **Reduced AC Strain** – With a whole-house fan on your side, your [air conditioning system](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/) will not strain to keep your home comfortable. This can help extend the lifespan of your system and reduce the need for repairs. - **Wind Chill Effect** – As the whole-house fan draws outdoor air indoors, it is known for creating a nice breeze inside of your home. - **Home Efficiency** – By flushing out the built-up heat in your home, this installation makes your home more efficient and environmentally-friendly. - **Improved Retail Value** – Having a whole-house fan in addition to your HVAC system may help you improve your home’s retail value and your buyer interest. Not only is it a sign that affordable cooling is available, but it is also a sign that your HVAC system is protected. - **More Comfortable Home** – Why does your home feel more uncomfortable on some days than the temperature outdoors? The heat trapped inside can impact the effectiveness of your cooling system. By expelling this heat, your whole-house fan will make your home feel more comfortable. If you are still unsure if a whole-house fan is right for you, consider speaking about these benefits with a heating and cooling expert for further insight. ## **Points to Consider Before Installing** While whole-house fans are popular because of the overshadowing benefits they provide, these installations do require a few essential considerations. - **Attic Installation –** A whole-house fan installation requires your home to have an attic. If any significant water damage or roof issues are impacting your attic, these may need to be addressed before your whole-house fan can be installed. - **Manual Operation** – Whole-house fans require you to do some of the groundwork, such as opening your windows before turning on the fan. This requires a bit more exertion than your AC system, which works at just the click of a button. - **Open Window Safety** – You will need to ensure that you are safe from critters, allergens, and intruders when leaving your windows open. - **Noise** – Whole-house fans are known for their capacity to become noisy, which is unfortunate for units that are designed to operate at night or in the early morning; however, new units are often installed with gaskets or insulating barriers to help muffle the sounds. It is essential you address these considerations before investing in a whole-house fan. Once you are cleared and ready to go, you can begin the installation process. ## **Whole-House Fan Installation** The whole-house fan installation process is made simple by experienced professionals, such as those at Bonney. An expert will: - Ensure that your attic has necessary ventilation - Measure your whole-house fan - Cut a space into your attic for the unit - Safely mount and secure the unit - Ensure that no safety hazards are present - Install any wiring necessary for proper operation The installation process poses some safety risks for DIY attempts. When gone awry, these could cost you much more than just the price of your broken unit. This is why it is best to seek expert help when taking on a whole-house fan project. ## **Sacramento Whole-House Fans** Here at Bonney, we know the importance of whole-house fans in Sacramento and are familiar with the careful installation they require.

Our technicians always strive to go the extra mile for our loyal Bonney customers. One of our Bonney HVAC technicians, Zach V., did all that and more recently when he was performing an [AC tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) at a loyal Bonney customer’s home in Sacramento. ![AC Tune-Up Sacramento | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/zach-v-bonney.jpg) Halfway through the tune-up Zach could faintly smell smoke. At first he thought somebody was barbecuing nearby, *“I didn’t really think too much of it,”* Zach said. While he continued with the 5-star AC tune-up he noticed the smoke was becoming more intense and that’s when he thought *“something is definitely wrong”*. He hurried down from the roof and came upon the homeowner throwing a hose over her back fence in a panic. The homeowner, Jill S., said, *“Zach was awesome! When he realized I was standing on my fence to put out the fire in the backyards behind me he immediately leapt into action!”* *“You have to make a decision if you want to find a result, I couldn’t just stand there and watch the fire burn out of control”*, Zach said. As Zach peeked over the fence he could see flames rolling underneath it. His military experience helped him with quick decision making. Without any hesitation he jumped the fence and grabbed the hose to put out the fire. Once Zach jumped over the second fence he discovered the backyard was completely scorched with soot and flames flying all over the place. It was a grass fire with a bunch of dried leaves adding fuel to the fire. Zach said, *“That’s the part of the fire that was rolling under the fence”.* The source of the flames were coming from the other side. He went to grab the second homeowner’s hose to put out the flames but it was completely melted. *“I felt like I could control the fire even though it was getting bigger”*. Zach said. He turned on her water spigot in the backyard and let it start flooding. He also found a bucket and filled it with water to douse the flames . He was able to get the attention of the other homeowner who’s backyard was on fire by knocking on doors and windows several times and that’s when he got her attention. She asked, *“What’s going on?”* Zach said, *“Your backyard is on fire, call the fire department!”* In the meantime she found another hose in the garage to help douse the flames. *“If she didn’t have that hose, I don’t know what would’ve happened”*. The flames were starting to spread dangerously close to the house. Zach humbly remarked, *“The fire wasn’t anything too crazy, it was a low grass fire that was spreading . The big parts of the fire were where the piles of leaves were. It wasn’t anything I couldn’t control.”* Jill S., the homeowner told us, *“Zach had it all completely handled by the time the Sacramento Fire Department got there”*. He hosed it all down and that’s when the fire department arrived. They gave Zach a bunch of kudos and a pat on the back. The courageous actions and quick thinking of Zach V. to extinguish the flames is something a superhero wearing tights and a cape would do. **Zach is not only a 5-star Bonney HVAC technician, he’s also our Superhero of the day!** **Categories:** Out in the Field --- ### [Everything You Need to Know About HVAC Zoning in California](https://www.bonney.com/blog/hvac-zoning-guide/) **Published:** March 6, 2025 **Author:** Josh Tyack **Content:** Homeowners in California know how important it is to keep your home comfortable year-round — especially with the extreme summer heat and chilly winters. One of the best ways to achieve this balance while saving on energy costs is by zoning your [heating](https://www.bonney.com/heating/) and [air conditioning](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/) system. Whether you’re upgrading an older system or looking for ways to enhance your home’s climate control, HVAC zoning offers a level of comfort and efficiency that standard systems can’t match. ## What Is HVAC Zoning? HVAC zoning is a method of separating and controlling the temperature in different areas, or “zones,” of a home. As we will explore below, these systems use dampers, thermostats, and a control panel to support multiple temperature regulations with a single HVAC system. In a traditional HVAC system, the same temperature is set for the entire house, which can lead to hot or cold spots, especially if some areas of the home are used less frequently or have different needs. Meanwhile, zoning allows you to control the temperature in specific areas, providing personalized comfort and extra energy savings. ## Benefits of HVAC Zoning in California HVAC zoning systems offer several advantages over traditional systems, making them a worthwhile investment for homeowners, particularly those in Sacramento. Let’s explore the top benefits of HVAC zoning: - **Energy Savings**: Zoning systems are incredibly energy-efficient. Instead of heating or cooling the entire house, you only condition the areas you use. This can lead to significant reductions in energy bills, as you’re not wasting energy on unused spaces. In fact, studies have shown that zoning can save up to 30% on heating and cooling costs. - **Improved Comfort**: HVAC zoning allows everyone in your home to enjoy their ideal temperature. If one family member likes the living room cooler and another prefers a warmer bedroom, zoning provides the flexibility to meet those needs without compromising the comfort of the entire household. - **Extended System Lifespan**: Because zoning reduces the workload of your HVAC system, it can also extend the lifespan of your equipment. With less strain on your furnace or air conditioner, your system operates more efficiently, which can delay costly repairs and replacements. - **Better Air Quality**: HVAC zoning can improve your home’s indoor air quality by precisely controlling airflow. Each zone can have its own air filtration system or humidity control, helping to eliminate allergens and maintain optimal air quality throughout the home. ## How HVAC Zoning Works A typical HVAC zoning system consists of three components (thermostats, dampers, and a control panel) working together to keep different areas of your home comfortable. ### Component 1: Smart Thermostats Each zone may utilize a [smart thermostat](https://www.bonney.com/blog/benefits-smart-thermostats/) that allows you to control the temperature in that area. You can program these thermostats to follow your daily schedule, ensuring that heating and cooling are only running when needed. ### Component 2: Dampers These motorized devices are installed in the ductwork of your HVAC system. They act like traffic controllers, directing or restricting airflow to specific zones. If you want to cool a zone, the damper will open, allowing cool air to flow in. If you don’t need cooling in that area, the damper remains closed. ### Component 3: Control Panel The control panel is the brain of the system. It coordinates the operation of the entire zoning system by communicating with the thermostats and dampers to adjust temperatures based on your preferences. ## When Should You Consider HVAC Zoning? HVAC zoning is ideal for homes with specific needs. Here are some situations where zoning would be especially beneficial: - **Multi-Story Homes**: In homes with multiple floors, it’s common for one floor to be warmer or cooler than another. With zoning, you can create independent temperature control for each floor, ensuring uniform comfort throughout your home. - **Inconsistent Temperature**: If certain rooms in your home are always too hot or too cold, a zoning system can provide a solution. You’ll be able to target those areas specifically and improve overall comfort. - **Large Homes**: Larger homes often require more energy to heat or cool, and zoning makes it more manageable. With several thermostats controlling different sections of your home, you’ll have more control over energy usage without sacrificing comfort. - **Homes with Unique Layouts**: Some homes have unique features like vaulted ceilings or rooms with large windows, making it hard to maintain a consistent temperature. Zoning allows you to address the specific heating and cooling needs of each space, creating a more efficient solution. ## Choose Bonney for HVAC Zoning in California The [specialists at Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/) have been serving the Sacramento area since 1978, helping homeowners like you improve the comfort and efficiency of their homes.

It also encompasses the management of the environment and how water resources will be used for the future generations. In California, Governor Jerry Brown has issued a statewide water restriction due to the severe water shortage. Although many people associate water conservation with a negative connotation, there are several ways to conserve water without the feeling of hardship. Ten percent of the homes in the United States can waste up to 90 gallons of water every single day. This accounts for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year. These numbers are all avoidable because they are directly connected to leaks. Correcting household leaks is the first step towards reducing the amount of water that is wasted. A simple habit to start implementing is to regularly check your water meter. This can provide better awareness as to a potential of leaks in your household once you understand the baseline of water use. Sometimes leaks are undetectable, but could be the culprit to water waste in your household. A silent toilet leak can waste 30 gallons of water per day and larger leaks can be up to 6 gallons per minute. If your toilet is making noise when it hasn’t been flushed, then you could have a leaking toilet. Test this by placing food coloring in the tank and waiting 15 minutes, if color shows in the bowl, you have a leak. Remember to flush after this experiment to avoid staining. Other times, leaks can be seen, but unrealized as to how much water is actually wasted. A showerhead that leaks 10 drips a minute wastes over 500 gallons per year. Watch showerheads and/or bathtub faucets to see if they continually drip after use. If they do, then they may need replacement washers or gaskets. Pipe tape can be used on shower heads to make sure water doesn’t leak out. A slow dripping faucet can waste up to 20 gallons of water every day. When you see a faucet in your house dripping water, ensure that it tightly shut off. If the drip continues, then it may be due to a worn out washer. You may be able to change this yourself. Turn off the shut off valve closest to the faucet and then proceed to change the washer. If you are unsure, you can always call your Bonney plumber for help. Besides fixing leaks and monitoring your water meter, you can also switch out your fixtures to water efficient fixtures. Installing water-efficient showerheads can help reduce water waste by 1 gallon per minute. Replacing an old toilet with a new high-efficiency model can save close to 2,400 gallons of water a year, which is about 4.8 gallons of water per flush. A hot water recirculation pump will provide instant hot water from your tap and will save as much as 12,000 gallons of water a year. This will reduce the amount of time waiting for water to heat up and wasting water in the process. Water sustainability is an achievable dream. Being more aware of the water used in your house and how to find water efficient solutions is the first step towards this goal. Now is the time, more than ever, to get that small leak fixed or to install an efficient toilet or to shorten bathing time. If you believe you have a plumbing issue, our skilled and professional technicians at Bonney can help you get the job done. Call us today to schedule your water conservation inspection and start your path to being water efficient.

Simple enough, until a problem comes up with your water heater, then questions arise. Hot water heaters traditionally come in the form of a large tank. These tanks can commonly be found in a household’s garage. When things go wrong, it’s usual the best idea to call a plumber. When an experienced plumber comes out, they may suggest the installation of a new water heater as well as a thermal expansion tank, also known as an expansion tank. Thermal expansion tanks are installed above the water heater itself. They come in several different sizes depending on the size of the water heater, the amount of hot water needed and the water pressure. When water heats up, it expands, which creates a higher volume and in turn more pressure. The water pressure that is created can have a negative impact on your water heater because the space is limited and the water has nowhere to go. The purpose of the expansion tank is to absorb the excess volume of water that is created during the heating process (or thermal expansion). An expansion tank utilizes a rubber bladder that acts as an air cushion, which allows for the extra water to expand into it instead of being trapped inside the water heater tank. Thermal expansion tanks are an important process designed to accommodate fluctuations in volume and pressure. This takes an enormous amount of stress off of the water heater and can potentially keep it from exploding. At Bonney, we strive to provide only the best and knowledgeable service possible. That’s why we send skilled and professional technicians to your home. Part of delivering the best service we can is to make recommendations that we feel will keep our customer safe and healthy. One of the most frequently asked questions we get is: if my old water heater didn’t need it, why would my brand new water heater need it? Today’s plumbing systems work differently than they used to. In the past, the expanding water was able to push back into the plumbing system and the city main line. Now, many cities have added devices called check valves that create a closed system. This means that once the city water passes the water meter into your home, the water cannot flow back into the city system. This closed system allows cities to maintain a close watch on water consumption for every household, but creates a challenging environment for any expanding water. With the water trapped in your home plumbing system, it can expand above a normal working pressure, causing stress on the water heater as well as the rest of your plumbing system. The expanding water can have a damaging effect on pipe valves, hoses, flex connectors and other appliances connected to the plumbing system because it backs up into these places instead of a designated safe area. The addition of an expansion tank can substantially reduce stress and damage to your water heater and overall home plumbing system. For these safety reasons, we recommend an expansion tank installation on every new water heater installation job. In some municipalities, it is actually required when installing a new water heater. If you have questions or concerns, call your local municipality for requirements. ![Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Michael-Forgeur.jpg) [Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/mforgeur/) *Michael brings 18 years of experience to his role as Plumbing Manager, with a reputation for strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

Is there rumbling, popping, and crackling coming from your water heater? That bubbling sound you hear could be mineral buildup at the bottom of your water heater. It’s your water heater telling you to call Bonney Plumbing Heating and Air for a water heater sediment flush…before it’s too late! That annoying noise isn’t the only reason to perform a water heater sediment flush. Most manufacturers recommend flushing your water heater at least once a year, depending on your water quality. The harder the water, the more likely you’ll need a more frequent flush. Water heaters need flushing due to sediment that sinks to the bottom of the water heater’s tank and forms a layer of insulation between the water and the burning element. This can wreak all kinds of havoc on your water heater. **What could happen if you don’t flush your water heater:** - Slows heat transfer, which can cause your water heater to overheat and deteriorate the tank. - Lowers the energy efficiency of the tank, increasing energy bills. - Decreases the amount of hot water the tank can hold. - Can clog up the drain valve. - Can contaminate your hot water with sediment impurities. - Can cause bacteria to grow and create an unpleasant odor. **What are the benefits of flushing your water heater:** Extends its life, preserves the warranty, and helps it operate more efficiently. ***Call Bonney at 800-444-0551 to prolong the life of your water heater today!*** ![Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Michael-Forgeur.jpg) [Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/mforgeur/) *Michael brings 18 years of experience to his role as Plumbing Manager, with a reputation for strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

A slab leak is a leak that occurs under the foundation or concrete slab. It’s a serious and costly matter that should be addressed by a professional as soon as possible. One of our Certified Premiere Plumbers, Dustin H., went out to take a look. Dustin introduced himself to the homeowner, Todd L., and immediately began diagnosing the customer’s concerns. The first thing Dustin did was make sure all of the faucets were turned off and that the toilet wasn’t running. Then he went outside to check the home’s water meter. With all fixtures off and no water running, the water meter dial should not be moving unless there is a slab leak. When Dustin inspected the water meter in the front yard the water meter dial was not spinning, and that meant no slab leak. Which was great news for Todd because he had a pristine laminate wood floor. It would have been a shame to jackhammer through the beautiful floor to find the slab leak. While inspecting the kitchen sink, however, Dustin noticed some water damage under the sink inside the cabinet. He discovered a deluge of leaks that were causing all the water damage. Water leaks are a common occurrence under kitchen sinks. If left unrepaired they can cause significant damage to the cabinet floor and more by promoting wood rot, warping, mildew growth and mold. Leaking water supply valves, faucets, and drainpipes are the common culprits of most sink cabinet damage. Dustin informed Todd about the water leak issues in the cabinet as well as in the brass housing of the faucet. It’s a good thing Dustin noticed the leaks before they caused too much extensive damage. Todd asked, “Can you fix it all now?” Dustin told him “of course”. “Great, do it all.” He said. Another benefit of our “warehouse on wheels”, we have all the parts that are needed in our Bonney trucks. Which gave our customer, Todd L., a sense of relief. While Dustin put on his LED headlamp and went to work, Todd told Dustin he had a handyman come out recently to install the garbage disposal but he never mentioned all the leaks. The handyman also didn’t complete the garbage disposal installation. “He had to go to Home Depot 3 or 4 times and it took him 4 hours to do it”. Todd said. Dustin re-installed the garbage disposal at no charge. He actually finished the job the handyman didn’t. At Bonney Plumbing, Heating, & Air we appreciate our loyal customers. They always seem to have a personal story to tell. Todd mentioned he’s been a Deputy Sheriff for Sacramento County for over 37 years. His dad, older brother, and his sister-in-law were also deputy Sheriffs. “It runs in the family” he said. He’s also a huge San Francisco Giant’s fan. He had just finished watching the Giants game and was babysitting his two grandchildren. He put on some Nickelodeon cartoons for the kids while Dustin literally “whistled while he worked” on the kitchen plumbing. There was a little sign hanging up in the kitchen that said, “Welcome to Nana’s place”. Todd said, they’re Nana’s kids, they just tolerate me”. While Dustin meticulously worked on the leaks in the kitchen and replaced the worn out parts, their black and white Chihuahua named Cricket watched over the job as her tail wagged vigorously. Dustin had a little doggie apprentice! Todd L. seemed surprised Cricket was so well behaved around a uniformed stranger, “She barks non-stop at the pest control guy…she always goes berserk!” Dustin dryly remarked, “Dogs sense good people” as he gave her a little scratch behind the ears. Cricket probably DID sense that Dustin was an animal lover. He’s got quite the menagerie where he lives in Curtis Park, 3 dogs and 2 cats. After Dustin expertly completed the plumbing job he said goodbye to the family, and of course Cricket, and headed to his next plumbing job. Dustin, who was an electrician before coming to Bonney Plumbing Heating & Air, comes from a family of electricians. “They were happy I was going to be a plumber, turned out to be the best choice I ever made”. Got leaks? Don’t worry, we’re on it! One of our Certified Premiere Plumbers is always ready to assist you, just like Dustin did. ![Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Michael-Forgeur.jpg) [Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/mforgeur/) *Michael brings 18 years of experience to his role as Plumbing Manager, with a reputation for strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

Attack of the Tree Roots!](https://www.bonney.com/blog/is-your-main-sewer-line-clogged-attack-of-the-tree-roots/) **Published:** July 1, 2016 **Author:** Michael Forgeur **Content:** ## Sacramento is nicknamed the City of Trees. It could also be called the City of Clogged Sewer Lines.![roots-in-line](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/roots-in-line-300x225.jpg) It’s irritating when a toilet, bathtub, or sink drain clogs, but you’ve got a real problem when it happens to a sewer line. Root damage to sewer lines leads to clogged, overflowing, and slow-flowing drains, sometimes accompanied by a gurgling noise from the bathtub, shower or toilet. An obstruction in the sewer affects all the plumbing fixtures in the house, and if it gets bad enough, you may find sewage backing out of some of your drains. Clearing a blocked sewer line takes professional expertise and equipment. THIS IS NOT A DIY PROJECT! Bonney’s sewer and drain experts are the one you should call when your sewer line is clogged. Most sewer clogs are the result of invading tree roots into the pipes. The tree roots love the warmth and moisture of the sewer lines. They send feelers through tiny cracks or loose joints in the pipes. Once they get inside, the roots feed off the readily available nutrients. After a while, debris collects on the roots and blocks the flow of waste, causing blockages, broken pipes, and other serious headaches for homeowners. Our certified premiere drain and sewer technicians will help diagnose the problem with your troublesome main line clog. Try our 123 sewer and drain program. It includes a camera inspection and up to 75 feet of line to clear your main line blockage. Lights! Camera! Action! We use the latest equipment and technology to give our customers a sense of relief that the job will be done right. Once your blockage is discovered, it’ll be cleared and your sewer line will be flowing like the mighty Sacramento River. We reached out to our friends at the Sacramento Tree Foundation for some tree root tips. They are very proactive on the prevention side of tree roots and sewer pipe problems. They know where to plant the right tree in the right place. Kuldeep Singh, an arborist with the Sacramento Tree Foundation, told us “During a forester’s site visit to an individual’s home, we do ask our customers about their sewer pipes. Once the sewer line is identified, we use our Sacramento Tree Foundation tree siting guidelines to safely site trees.” - Larger size tree sited no less than 6 feet from the sewer line. - Medium size tree sited no less than 6 feet from the residential sewer pipe - Small trees sighted no less than 3 feet from the residential sewer line There are no sewer safe trees, but by planting smaller, slower-growing trees, sewer lines should be safer from the intrusion of tree roots. Smaller trees like a crape myrtle, Japanese maple, or a flowering dogwood tree are excellent choices because of their slow growth and non- invasive root system. According to Singh, “large trees known to have very vigorous roots should be avoided such as Liquidambar, mulberry, and willows.” He added, “All efforts should be made to know where the sewer pipe is located on your property and be aware of the tree root growth pattern.” ### Key Takeaways: - **Tree Roots Seek Moisture in Sewer Lines**: Roots infiltrate pipes through cracks or joints, feeding on nutrients and causing blockages that can lead to sewage backups. - **Signs of Root-Related Blockages**: Symptoms include slow-draining fixtures, gurgling sounds, foul odors, and sewage backups in multiple drains. - **Professional Intervention Required**: Clearing a blocked sewer line necessitates specialized equipment and expertise; DIY methods are not recommended. If you think you’re having a troublesome main line clog, give the experts at Bonney Plumbing, Heating, & Air a call at 800-444-0551. We’ll make sure your drains are clean and clear with same day service.

Bonney has the solution.](https://www.bonney.com/blog/does-it-take-too-long-for-your-shower-to-heat-up-bonney-has-the-solution/) **Published:** May 24, 2016 **Author:** Michael Forgeur **Content:** A soothing hot shower first thing in the morning is one of life’s simple pleasures, but a shower that struggles to warm up quickly is one of life’s little annoyances. You might think you need a [new water heater](https://www.bonney.com/2020/06/water-heater-replacement-signs/), but assuming your water heater is still in good shape, Bonney has another possible solution. Let’s take a second to explore the source of these delays in hot water delivery and the quick fix available to many homes. ## Beyond the Inconvenience: Wasted Time, Money, and Clean Water![shower-heating-up](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/shower-heating-up-300x300.jpg) The average home can waste as much as 12,000 gallons of water a year waiting for the shower to heat up. You turn on the shower and stand there waiting for the hot water to arrive…and waiting…and waiting…while all the water goes down the drain, wasting water, time, and money. It’s not an effective way to [conserve water](https://www.bonney.com/2020/07/water-conservation-savings/); it also adds to your monthly water bill. Imagine quarters circling your shower drain every morning. ## Why Is The Hot Water Taking So Long? Why does it seem like an eternity for hot water to reach your shower and other faucets? There are several reasons; the distance from the [water heater](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/), the diameter of the piping, and the flow rate of the water. The further the hot water has to flow, the longer it takes to warm up the shower faucet. This is especially true with a larger home. ## Pipe Impacts on Hot Water Another reason for a slow hot water arrival is the water that is currently in the pipes. When anticipating warm water, all the cooled-off water sitting in the pipes must flow out before the hot water reaches the [shower](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/showers-tubs/) or [faucet](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/showers-tubs/). The size of the pipes also plays a role. The wider the pipes, the longer it takes hot water to reach your shower faucet. Wider pipes require more water per inch, which slows delivery. The flow rate of the faucet or showerhead also affects the delay in hot water, because it affects how quickly the cooled water sitting in the pipes is emptied, this is especially true with water-conserving bathroom faucets and showerheads. If your shower [water is not warming up](https://www.bonney.com/2021/02/water-not-getting-hot/) quickly, don’t ignore it. It doesn’t have to be that way. Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air has the solution. ## Recirculation Pumps: The Easy Solution to Hot Water Delays The answer to this problem could be a [hot water recirculation pump](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-recirculation-pumps/). There are two types available, a complete hot water recirculation system and a retrofit system. The complete recirculation system has a dedicated hot water line that runs from your furthest fixture back to your water heater, creating a loop. This is the most energy-efficient. ![hot-water-recirculation-pump](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/hot-water-recirculation-pump-1-199x300.jpg) The retrofit system has a pump connected to the hot water outlet side of the water heater and a crossover valve installed at the furthest fixture. This allows hot water to be pumped into the cold water system, which is called stacking. It’s less efficient than the recirculation system, but it’s less expensive and gives similar results. ## Key Takeaways: - **Common Causes of Slow Hot Water**: Distance from the water heater, pipe diameter, and the need to clear cooled water from pipes can all contribute to longer wait times for hot water. - **Impact on Resources**: Homes can waste up to 12,000 gallons of water annually due to delays in hot water delivery, leading to increased water bills. - **Hot Water Recirculation Systems**: Installing a recirculation pump can provide immediate access to hot water by maintaining a continuous loop, reducing wait times and water wastage. - **System Options**: There are two main types of recirculation systems: a complete system with a dedicated return line and a retrofit system that utilizes existing plumbing with a pump and valve. - **Professional Installation Recommended**: Consulting with a licensed plumb ## Bonney Plumbing Solutions in the Sacramento Area You don’t have to endure the wait for warm showers every morning.

But if not operated or maintained properly a garbage disposal can ![Food to Avoid Dumping in Garbage Disposal | Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/waste-disposal-300x200.jpg)easily break down, block, or clog your kitchen drain. Always be careful about what foods you put down the drain to keep your garbage disposal working smoothly for many years to come. Here are a few foods you should avoid dumping down the garbage disposal: **Bones:** It’s NFL Football season and that means bbq, beer and bones…chicken bones that is. After the party is over don’t dump the discarded chicken bones down the garbage disposal. The bones will just keep spinning round and round with the blades. They’ll never make it down and may clog your drain. Make “no bones” about it. **Potato peels:** A South Land Park woman was having a family Thanksgiving with all the fixins’ when her husband volunteered to peel the potatoes. He peeled them in the sink and let the peels go down the garbage disposal. Guess what happened? It caused a soupy mess and a clogged drain. The husband also slept on the couch that night. True story! **Grease or oil:** Never dump grease down the kitchen sink. It will eventually solidify and clog a portion, or all, of your drain. Remember this next time you fry up some delicious bacon for a bacon double cheeseburger. **Egg shells:** Somehow egg shells are controversial. Some folks say egg shells help sharpen the blades of the garbage disposal. Others say putting egg shells down the disposal will create “sand-like particles” and stick to the pipe walls, slowing the drain and possibly causing a clog. We say play it safe. Just toss ‘em in the trash! **Pits or seeds**: Having a clogged drain is the pits! Just make sure you don’t pour pits or seeds down the garbage disposal. They’re too hard and small for the garbage disposal to chop up. Pits and seeds may jam your disposal. When you’re cutting and gutting your pumpkin for Halloween DO NOT dump the seeds or gooey guts down the drain. The gooey pumpkin pulp is stringy and slimy and can cause other stuff to attach and clog up the drain. That would be SCARY! **Coffee grounds:** Back in the day grandma thought coffee grounds were good for the pipes. “It keeps them clear and smelling fresh!” she would say. This is categorically untrue. Sorry Grandma. It’s an old wives tale…or an old Grandma’s tale. Either way, when you dump a bunch of soggy coffee grounds down the drain, they’ll turn into an impenetrable nightmare. The grounds can get stuck in the trap of your garbage disposal and wreak havoc. **Corn husks, celery, and asparagus:** These vegetables are good for you! Unfortunately they aren’t very good for your garbage disposal. They have long, stringy, fibers that can become entangled around your garbage disposal’s blades, causing it to stop working. Don’t strangle your disposal! Play it safe. Leave these veggies for the garbage or even your compost pile. **Pasta, rice, and beans:** Keep your garbage disposal on a no-carb diet. Rice and pasta should never be dumped down the garbage disposal. They swell once they come in contact with water, and they are sticky, making it hard to go down the drain. Is your garbage disposal not working properly? Sink clogged? Don’t worry, we’re on it! If you ever have trouble with your garbage disposal or sink, don’t hesitate to call Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air at 444-0551. ![Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Michael-Forgeur.jpg) [Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/mforgeur/) *Michael brings 18 years of experience to his role as Plumbing Manager, with a reputation for strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

Don’t just flush it and forget it! Not only can many of these things lead to a clogged toilet, they can also have a negative impact on public sewer systems and the environment. Just because something is labeled disposable or flushable, doesn’t mean it should be flushed down the toilet. Here is a list of things that you should never flush down the toilet: **Cotton balls and Q-tips**: Cotton balls and Q-tips seem harmless don’t they? By flushing these things down the toilet you are guaranteed to eventually have a massive blockage as cotton balls and cotton swabs collect in the corners of your pipes. **Dental floss**: Your dental hygienist tells you to “floss your teeth everyday”. It helps keep your teeth and gums in good shape. The certified premier plumbers at Bonney will tell you—“Don’t flush your floss!” It is not biodegradable and can wrap itself around other objects in the sewer line, making small clogs, bigger and also create a spiderweb of problems. **Facial tissue**: Facial tissues are made to be tough and sturdy. When people are sick they blow their stuffy nose into the Kleenex tissue made of sturdy fibers that don’t break apart. The best place for the tissue is in the trash, not the toilet. **Flushable wipes**: Flushable is in the actual title of the product! But no, you should never flush wipes down the toilet. They are causing major plumbing problems all over the country. Once wipes are flushed, they can create a blockage, and you’ll be paying hundreds of dollars to get your drain snaked. Sewer agencies are spending millions of dollars filtering wipes out of their plumbing systems. According to Peter Castles at the Sacramento Area Sewer District, “In terms of what we tell our customers, we definitely instruct folks not to flush wipes, as they do cause some problems for us, like clogging our pumps. They simply do not break down enough to pass freely through pumps”. The SASD is currently conducting public outreach regarding “no wipes in the pipes” via their booths at community events and through their website and social media. For more info check out their website: **Band-aids**: Band-Aids are made to stick to a person’s scratch or wound, not the toilet. Sticky plastic Band-aids don’t belong in the toilet or sewer system. Trash ‘em! **Diapers**: You’d think this is a no brainer: Never flush a diaper. Disposable diapers are meant to be disposed in the trash, not the toilet. The main role of a diaper is to absorb liquid, which makes the diaper bigger and will dry out pockets in your sewer line. Diapers are able to create clogs anywhere down the line, from your toilet and outgoing sewer line to sewer connections and sewer plants. **Pills and Medicine**: Keep the drugs out of our water supply and don’t flush your meds. According to the California State Board of Pharmacy, our city waste treatment plants are not designed to filter pharmaceuticals out of the water. Medications flushed down the toilet pass through the sewer system and eventually enter our streams, lakes, and rivers. This could lead to increased bacterial resistance to antibiotics and interference with growth and reproduction in aquatic organisms such as fish, frogs and other aquatic animals. The California Pharmacists Association has partnered with No Drugs Down The Drain and recognizes the need to divert waste medicines from the sewer. Proper disposal of your unused meds is easy. To prevent misuse and keep medications from entering our waterways, dispose of unused prescription and over-the-counter medications responsibly. Check out the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District’s website for local disposal locations and more information. http://www.regionalsan.com/dont-flush-your-meds **Feminine products**: If you don’t want to deal with a backed-up overflowing toilet, do not flush feminine hygiene products down it. Feminine hygiene products are non-degradable and will easily clog up your local septic system and most likely a homeowners septic tank. Don’t flush the plastic applicator, pads, or the actual tampon. Tampons don’t break down like toilet paper, they swell in size and if one gets caught in your sewer line, it’ll probably catch the next one coming down the pipe. **Paper towels**: Paper towels may be super absorbent but they are not designed to break down in water like toilet paper. Just ask the Brawny Man, he’ll tell you. Paper towels+ flushing them down the toilet=clogged toilet. It is very difficult to get paper towels to move down the sewer line after they’ve been flushed down the toilet. Flushing them can cause major headaches for homeowners and likely repairs to the pipes. **Hair**: Most folks know about trying to keep hair out of the shower drains, but they don’t hesitate throwing clumps of hair in the toilet. Hair forms into balls that are remarkably efficient at causing clogs. Always clean your hairbrush or comb over the trash can. Your luxurious locks belong in the trash not in the toilet. Hair will make it down the toilet drain, but will eventually become part of the gunk that clogs things in the sewer line. Hair is just another flushing faux pas! **Kitty litter**: There are a number of reasons for not flushing kitty litter and the feline feces contained within’ it. The feces contains parasites that will not be broken down in treatment plants properly, and will damage marine life. The litter is not septic friendly and could cost you a litterbox full of money in repairs and cleaning, not to mention it will clog your pipes and cause problems for treatment plant operators. **Cigarette butts**: Toilets are meant for only one kind of butt. Your toilet and septic system has one purpose only…an ashtray is not one of them! Cigarette butts do not break down and are filled with chemicals that can get into the water supply. Always dispose of cigarette butts in the trash. Cigarette butts are one of the most common forms of litter in the Ocean. **Chewing gum**: You’ve probably heard the old wives tale “Don’t swallow gum because it will stay in your digestive system for 7 years”. There’s no truth to that old wives tale. However, flushing what is basically an adhesive down the toilet is not a good idea. The gum will stick to your pipes, which do not have a digestive system, and clog them up. Resist the urge to use your toilet as a trash can. We realize it’s convenient to just flush it and forget it, but it will come back to haunt you with clogs and plumbing problems. The only things that should be flushed down the toilet are The Three P’s. Pee, poop, and toilet paper. It’s really that simple. Anything else should be disposed in the trash can.

The only way to [stop the toilet from running](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/toilets/) is to jiggle the handle. ![Jiggling Toilet Handle | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/jiggling-the-handle-300x200.jpg) Jiggling the handle is a very temporary solution to a running toilet. It’s also kind of awkward and embarrassing when you are entertaining guests at a dinner party. “Uh, where’s your bathroom?” “It’s in the hallway on the left. Oh and don’t forget to jiggle the handle”. Not a great way to impress your friends or acquaintances. Stop jiggling the handle and find a solution. If your toilet is running after you flush it, you could be [wasting about 26 gallons of water a day](https://www.bonney.com/2021/06/5-drought-proofing-tips/), which means hard- earned money going right down the old toilet bowl. If your toilet keeps running and running it’s probably because the flapper has worn out. The flapper is the rubber piece in the back of your toilet that lifts to let water flow down into the bowl when it flushes, and closes again to fill the bowl. When the flapper has worn out, the flapper won’t seal shut again once it’s opened. This allows for constant draining and refilling of your toilet bowl. You may need to replace the flapper. Another reason your toilet might be running is your chain may need to be adjusted. Jiggling the handle helps shake out the chain that connects the handle to the flapper valve. The chain can easily kink up or get caught on the flapper valve, preventing it from forming a solid seal. This causes water to [leak](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/plumbing-leak-help/) out of the tank, which means your toilet will compensate by always attempting to re-fill. Replacing the flapper and the chain mechanism will most likely solve the problem. The running water issue may also be due to a poor float position. When you flush your toilet, water is supposed to fill the tank until it almost reaches the top of overflow pipe and then stop. The reason why it stops is because of the float that is attached to the fill valve. The overflow pipe will prevent your tank from actually overflowing, but a poor float position will keep your toilet running until it’s fixed. These are the most common causes of a running toilet.

The [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency](http://energy.gov/energysaver/reduce-hot-water-use-energy-savings) reports that a water heater usually contributes to about 18 percent of a monthly energy bill and is second only to heating and cooling in terms of energy consumption. ![Water Heater Thermostat Setting | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/adjust-water-heater-thermostat-300x225.jpg)Every time that you use hot water, you’re adding a few cents to your energy bill. That doesn’t mean that you have to start taking cold showers, though! You can save money by lowering the maximum temperature on your water heater thermostat, so that the appliance does not have to work as hard and use as much energy. The [U.S. Department of Energy](http://energy.gov/energysaver/projects/savings-project-lower-water-heating-temperature) reports that having a water heater set at the highest level of 140 degrees Fahrenheit wastes $36 to $61 annually. Of course, adjusting the temperature on your water heater won’t do you much good if the thermostat on your water heater is going bad. Most water heaters only last for 8 to 10 years – and it can be even less if you live in a place with hard water that contains lots of minerals. If yours is reaching the end of its lifespan, replacing it with a new model can help you reduce costs. There are many types of water heaters available today, including: - Gas water heaters are powered by natural gas. You’ll need to have a natural gas line installed in your home to use one, but they generally cost less. - Electric water heaters are powered by electricity and can be used in any home. They are generally the biggest energy consumers. - Storage Water Heaters keep hot water stored in a large tank, so that it’s ready on demand. - Tankless water heaters heat water only when you use it and do not have a storage tank. - Indirect water heaters do not heat water themselves. These tankless units instead use the heat from your central heating system to warm up water. An [experienced plumber Sacramento CA](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) service provider can help you decide which type of water heater is best. Our team here at Bonney Plumbing has been in the business since 1978, and we’re proud to have an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. If you’re concerned about your water heater, we can come out and inspect it and let you know if you’re ready for a new one.

That’s enough water to wash 270 loads of laundry! To make sure that you’re not letting money go down the drain, follow these water conservation tips: 1. **Use a Sprinkler Timer.** Watering your yard with a sprinkler system can help to keep the lawn looking green during dry weather, but it also uses a lot of water. Installing a sprinkler timer can automate the process and ensure that you’re not using more water than is needed. The timers also provide convenience and can help to prevent over watering. 2. **![Ways to Conserve Water | Bonney Plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/tips-on-conserving-water-300x225.jpg)Don’t Ignore Drips.** A drippy faucet or shower-head wastes more water than you think. When you spot leaks, have them repaired by a professional plumber as soon as possible. 3. **Upgrade Your Washing Machine.** If your washing machine is reaching the end of its lifespan, consider purchasing a new water-saving model. High-efficiency washers need less water to get loads clean. Pick one with an adjustable load size, so that you only have to use a minimal amount of water. 4. **Install Water-Saving Fixtures.** Some simple upgrades to your plumbing fixtures can dramatically reduce water use. A faucet aerator, which adds air to water as it flows from the tap, gives you a larger stream while actually using less water. Low-flow shower-heads allow you to get clean from head to toe while using a fraction of the amount of water as a conventional shower head, while toilet dams reduce the amount of water used with every flush without limiting the performance of toilets. 5. **Have Your Home Inspected.** Leaky and aging plumbing fixtures can be causing you to waste water without realizing it. An experienced [full service plumber Sacramento CA](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-conservation/) professional can inspect your home and locate any problems, so that you can have them repaired. A professional inspection is the absolute best way to make sure that you’re not spending money needlessly. Here at Bonney Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning, we offer a full water conservation inspection service. One of our highly experienced plumbers can check your water meter, pressure valve, showers, toilets and sinks and find any potential problems. At the end of the inspection, we recommend repairs, improvements and upgrades and will give you a free quote on the cost to have the work done. Call us today at 1-800-444-0551 or [contact us online](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/contact-us/) to schedule an inspection. ![Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Michael-Forgeur.jpg) [Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/mforgeur/) *Michael brings 18 years of experience to his role as Plumbing Manager, with a reputation for strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

These storms were part of an “atmospheric river” weather phenomenon that drew precipitation from the Pacific Ocean and brought the heaviest rain to parts of Northern California in a decade. This rain caused power outages, road closures, flooding, and evacuations. They also placed a great deal of stress on many homeowners’ plumbing systems. While we wish these storms were a one-time event, [powerful storms are still causing flooding](https://fox40.com/weather/sacramento-sees-nearly-10-inches-of-rain-during-record-long-consecutive-days-of-rain/) and emergencies in Sacramento in 2023. Though you can’t control the rain, you can prepare your plumbing system to handle flooding and blocked drains by knowing the main plumbing issues caused by rainstorms and how to solve them. ## Can Too Much Rain Cause Plumbing Problems? Simply put, too much rain can cause multiple problems, as excess rain can stress your drainage systems and pipes. For example, rainstorms can cause broken pipes, toilets that won’t stop gurgling, and blocked drains. If your plumbing system isn’t prepared to handle the greater demands that heavy rain places on them, you may discover it’s plagued with problems in the aftermath of a wicked storm. ## 3 Plumbing Problems Caused By Rainstorms Since rainstorms can cause plumbing problems, it’s important to know the main issues they cause and how you handle these issues after they occur. As you try to keep your plumbing system in the best shape possible, be on the lookout for these three problems after a heavy rainstorm. ## 1. Heavy Rain Can Cause Broken Pipes Large rainfall can cause a ruptured pipe due to the ground shifting and putting pressure on the pipes that are located underground. When the ground becomes saturated with rainwater, it softens enough that shifting soil and rocks can strain or break your buried pipes. If pipes become crushed or cracked, dirt and debris can enter and clog things up, doing even more damage. If you discover discoloration, grit, or debris in the water coming from your [faucets](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/faucets-sinks/) after a storm, you probably have broken underground pipes. A Bonney-certified premier plumber can locate the break and [repair or replace it](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-main-water-lines/). ## 2. Sewage Overload: Clogged Pipes or Blocked Drains After Heavy Rain Another common plumbing issue after heavy rainfall is a sewage overload that causes your pipes or drains to clog. When your pipes or drains are blocked after heavy rain, your entire plumbing system can back up and cause your home to flood. Heavy rain can also cause toilet backups, making it so you can’t use or flush your toilet. ### What Causes Blocked Drains Outside? Why Do My Drains Back Up When It Rains? Pipes and drains can become blocked after heavy rainstorms because of the immense amount of leaves, dirt, and debris that can build up and block them. [Blocked drains](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) during heavy storms are very common, as they are generally not designed to manage large volumes of water. Additionally, if the gutters have not been [cleaned](https://www.bonney.com/2020/07/professional-drain-cleaning-benefits/), the rain will also push any leaves and debris that the gutters hold into the drain creating a bigger blockage. Before your drains overflow, you’ll often hear gurgling drains after heavy rain, as too much water will be trying to flow down a clogged pipe. When there is an overflow of rainwater in gutters and downpipes, there’s a good chance there’s a blockage that needs to be [cleared out](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/commercial-drain-cleaning/). Blocked outside drains can cause flooding and damage your property, so it’s important to have a plumber clear them as soon as possible. ### Can Heavy Rain Cause Toilets to Back Up? Alongside blocking your drains and potentially causing flooding, heavy rain can make toilets back up and spill sewage onto your bathroom floor. Typically, toilets connected to a septic tank overflow when rainwater fills the tank and prevents waste from entering it. This septic backup after heavy rain can damage your home and create a huge mess if it’s not taken care of quickly. For homes connected to the city’s sewage system, heavy rain can enter through a cracked sewer pipe and cause your toilet or drains to overflow. Regardless of the cause, a toilet gurgling during heavy rain is a clear sign your sewage can’t handle the rain, and you’ll need immediate assistance from a plumber to prevent an overflow. ### How to Fix Overflowing Toilets or Clogged Drains and Pipes When you have drains blocked after heavy rain or an overflowing toilet, you’ll need a certified plumber to handle the issue. For example, a plumber can pump out your septic tank to stop it from overflowing or repair a tank that’s been damaged. They can also [repair or replace damaged sewer pipes](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/) that are causing waste to overflow from your toilet. Additionally, a trained plumber can [clear out any clogged drains or pipes](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) filled with debris due to rain. ## 3. Basement or Crawl Space Flooding from Heavy Rain A flooded crawl space or basement can create a lot of problems in your home. Whether your crawl space or basement has taken on an abundance of water due to heavy rain, you’re dealing with broken pipes, your sewage system is backed up, or there’s water coming up from your basement drain after rain, the resulting standing water is a major problem that should be addressed. Failing to address the problem of a flooded basement or crawl space can permanently damage your home’s foundation. Standing water and excess moisture in a basement or crawl space can also create an attractive [breeding ground for mold](https://www.bonney.com/2018/03/is-your-house-prone-to-crawl-space-flooding-after-heavy-rains/) and even common crawl space pests like mice, rats, and termites. Over time, the cost of repairing your damaged home and the risks to you and your family’s health can really add up. ### How to Fix Basement or Crawl Space Flooding From Heavy Rain Since a flooded crawl space or basement can create several issues, you should have a trained plumber remove the water as soon as possible with either a wet vac or a sump pump. These are typically the most effective methods as they’re designed to efficiently suck up water and remove it from your home. Once the water is removed, you’ll want to dry out the basement or crawl space thoroughly. After a plumber has pumped out the water, a significant amount of moisture will likely remain even after you have removed the puddles of water, meaning you shouldn’t let the space air dry. Instead, you’ll want to use a dehumidifier since it’s extremely effective at removing excess moisture from a damp crawl space or basement. By using a dehumidifier, you’ll drastically reduce the chances of mold or mildew development. You can also reduce the chance of basement or crawl space flooding by investing in sump pump installation services. When you have a sump pump installed in your home, the device will automatically pump and channel water away from your house’s foundation. A trained plumber can [install the sump pump](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/sewage-ejector-pumps/) for you to ensure it’s put into operation correctly and will remove water efficiently. ## Turn to Bonney for Plumbing Services in Sacramento After a Heavy Rain When heavy rain hits, you need a plumbing expert you can trust.

Plumbing is a critical element of any California home, and the proper functioning of your faucets, showers and bathtubs, toilets and much more are dependent on the overall health of your home’s plumbing. We’ve all experienced a slow leak but probably didn’t realize just how much water (and money) we were actually wasting. Check out these five plumbing problems you should never ignore. ## [![Plumbing Problems | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/001-plumbing-problems-shouldnt-ignore-300x225.jpg)](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/001-plumbing-problems-shouldnt-ignore.jpg)Leaky Faucet At first a leaky faucet might not seem like a big problem. It’s hard to imagine one drop of water every few seconds being especially wasteful, but you may be surprised to learn that approximately 10% of homes in the U.S. have leaks that waste 90 or more gallons of water per day. Having that leak fixed can also save you about 10% on your water bill. If you think of every drop as throwing money down the drain you are more likely to be motivated to call Bonney Plumbing right away. ## Shower/Tub Draining Slowly A slow draining shower/bathtub is likely the result of a clogged drain. This problem can continue to worsen the longer you avoid having it fixed. If you don’t address the drain issue in a timely manner, the ultimate solution to effectively address the problem may end up costing more than it would have if you had called a plumber right after you noticed water was taking longer than normal to drain. Avoid the temptation to pour drain cleaner down your drains yourself as this often causes structural damage to the drain and pipes. ## Running Toilet A running toilet may seem like a mere annoyance, but it’s actually costing you lots of money and wasting hundreds of gallons of water. In fact, a running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water every day! Each day you put off having it fixed is another day you are literally flushing money down the toilet. ## Low Water Pressure A common issue in older California homes, low water pressure can often mean there is a hidden leak somewhere in your home. It could be as simple as getting a new showerhead, but having the experts at [Bonney Plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) check things out is always the best course of action. If your water pressure problems are due to a leak, and you can’t readily identify the leak, there’s a potential that water is leaking below your home or behind a wall, which can lead to all kinds of other potentially very expensive damage. ## Hard Water Buildup If you have spots on your dishes or soap scum on your shower doors, chances are you have hard water. This means your water contains significant amounts of calcium, magnesium or other naturally occurring minerals. There are products available to soften your water, and Bonney Plumbing can help you determine the best course of action to fight hard water. ## Reliable Plumbers in California Bonney Plumbing is California’s premier five-star plumbing service.

However, there comes a time when replacing [![Replacing Your Toilet | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/old-toilet-3-225x300.jpg)](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/old-toilet-3.jpg)your toilet is the best solution. How do you know when it’s time to replace your toilet? We’ve gathered a list of reasons it may be time to replace it. ## Appearance If your toilet resembles a janky one from a gas station restroom it may be time to replace the old throne. After years of usage a toilet can start to look a little shoddy. It can accumulate unsightly toilet rings and stains in the bowl that are impossible to remove no matter how hard you scrub it with a pumice stone. If you find yourself cleaning the toilet more and more and it’s unpleasant to look at, you may want to replace it with a brand new one. Another reason for replacement could be the outdated color of the toilet. There were a lot of avocado and turquoise toilets installed back in the 1970’s. Not exactly a modern color scheme. A new toilet will be a lot cleaner, more hygienic, and help bring new life to your bathroom. ## Comfort The average person spends approximately ninety-two days on the toilet over a lifetime….for some dads it’s even longer! Comfort is important as well as personal when it comes to your toilet. If your legs are going numb when you’re on the commode the height of the seat and the width may not support you well. Make sure the toilet seat isn’t too small or too narrow and that the seat height isn’t too high or low. Standard sized toilets are 15 inches off the ground and so-called “comfort height” is 17 to 19 inches. Also, the cheapest toilet is usually the most uncomfortable; keep that in mind when you’re looking for the perfect toilet for your family. ## Save Water and Money If you have an older toilet, just flushing it on a regular basis may have a negative impact on your utility bill. Before 1994 tank type toilets were flushed using anywhere between 3.5 to 8 gallons a flush. That’s a whole lotta water! Under federal guidelines enacted in 1994, modern efficient toilets are required to use no more than 1.6 gallons per flush which not only saves water but saves you money on your utility bill. A dual flush toilet is a variation of the flush toilet that uses two buttons to flush different levels of water and due to its ability to save water has become increasingly popular. ## Too Many Repairs If you’re having a plumber come out to your home to augur your toilet all the time, those visits are going to add up. Serious mineral buildup in the toilet not only creates an unsightly ring in the bowl, it can also disrupt normal flow of water into and out of the toilet tank. If your toilet is in constant need of repairs there comes a time when it’s more cost effective to replace it with a new model. ## Leaks Leaks from the toilet’s tank or bowl can go undetected for long periods of time, causing water damage to the flooring or subfloor. If allowed to continue, the entire floor may need to be replaced. Leaks can also cause damage to rooms below if the bathroom is upstairs. Leaks can also cause damage to rooms below if the bathroom is upstairs. Especially when dealing with older toilets, it may be more cost effective to replace a toilet than find and repair leaks. Leaks not only cause damage but also consume water, which will increase your utility bill. ## Cracks If you frequently see a puddle of water around your toilet, this could be more than a simple leak. You could have cracks in the tank…or somebody has really bad aim! Nothing lasts forever and as toilets age they are more vulnerable to cracks. You could have cracks in your tank and your toilet may need to be replaced. If the toilet appears to be working properly, flushing right, not clogged, not running, but there is water around the bottom of it, that could mean there are cracks in the tank or bowl. If you’re looking to [repair or replace your toilet](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/toilets/), call Bonney Plumbing at 800-444-0551. We’ll have a 5-star premier plumber give you options for repair and replacement for you and your family. ![Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Michael-Forgeur.jpg) [Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/mforgeur/) *Michael brings 18 years of experience to his role as Plumbing Manager, with a reputation for strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

While all three should be thoroughly checked[![Sewer Inspection in Sacramento | Bonney Plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Importance-of-a-sewer-inspection_Bonney-Plumbing-300x200.jpg)](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Importance-of-a-sewer-inspection_Bonney-Plumbing.jpg) before purchasing a home, the sewer system is commonly forgotten. Out of sight, out of mind! A sewer line left unchecked could cause all sorts of problems for a home, whether that be in the next week or the next year. Household items such as paper towels, diapers and even wet wipes can build up in your home’s plumbing until they create a large drain clog. It’s also possible for tree roots to grow into the pipes themselves, cracking or even completely breaking the sewage line. Both issues can result in a decrease in water pressure or complete system shutoff, resulting in costly repairs. ## **What to Expect During Sewer Inspection** When you hire a professional with the proper equipment to perform your [sewer inspection](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/), you can rest easy knowing the job will be done right. The best drain and sewer cleaning technicians follow a specific series of steps to ensure your sewer line is clean and in proper working condition. 1. For homeowners that are already living in their house, inspections start with a thorough cleaning and clearing of the sewer mainline. Even if you don’t suspect a blockage, clearing the line prevents any future buildup and makes it easier for the video cable to navigate the pipes. 2. The most important step in sewer inspection is the use of a specialized video camera to examine the interior of your main line. The video camera is attached to a long line of tubing which can be fed into the sewer pipes. On the surface, the technician can watch a screen to view exactly what the camera sees in real-time, searching for any signs of blockage or damage. 3. After the video inspection, your technician will provide you with a comprehensive report. The recording of your sewer line can also be saved and reviewed at a later date, if need be. Depending on the condition of the main line, repair or replacement solutions can be discussed. Understanding the condition of a home’s sewer system allows you to make an educated purchase. If the house you’re looking to purchase has significant sewer line problems, it might be more cost-effective to pursue a different listing. At the very least, you’ll either want the current owner to fix the issues before closing or lower their asking price by an appropriate amount. ## **Drain and Sewer Technicians in Sacramento** Bonney Plumbing, Heating and Air, has been your local, reliable service company since 1978.

While they may seem like a quick and affordable fix for clogs or blockages, drain cleaning products often cause more harm than good. Caustic chemicals and questionable effectiveness make liquid drain cleaners less appealing than other drain clearing methods. ## **Aggressive Chemicals** Liquid drain cleaners are made using highly toxic chemicals, such as lye and hydrochloric acid. The mixtures are designed to clean drains by eating through and dissolving any hair, food or other blockages. Of course, chemicals that are strong enough to break down blockages can do the same thing to a person’s body. The fumes alone can cause irritation of the eyes, nose and throat. If it gets in contact with skin, the cleaner can cause severe rashes and chemical burns. The chemicals in the cleaner can not only damage you, but your pipes as well. Hydrochloric acid used in most cleaners eats through the enamel and other layers within your plumbing system. After extended use, the chemicals could actually cause leaks or create small holes in the pipes. ## **Clog Clearing Effectiveness** Despite their powerful dissolving power, liquid drain cleaners aren’t always as effective as they claim to be. Drainage backups are often caused by broken pipes or a blockage created by something other than food or hair. Pouring liquid cleaner down the drain won’t fix these types of clogs, and the built up chemicals could cause you even more trouble. ## **Environmental Impact** Cleaning chemicals pose a significant risk to animals and plant life if they end up outside your home and in a natural environment. If the cleaner is left to sit and eats through your sewage pipes, it can seep into the surrounding soil and groundwater before eventually accumulating in larger bodies of water. If you choose to recycle plastic cleaner containers after using all the liquid, be sure to clean it out thoroughly. Even a small amount of residue left in the bottles could make its way into landfills and the surrounding ecosystem. ### **Safe, Effective Alternatives** While there are organic and non-toxic drain cleaning solutions available, the most effective way to get rid of a clog is through manual removal. For small sink or toilet clogs you can use a simple plunger. If you don’t have the proper tools available or are facing a bigger problem, it’s always best to hire a professional drain or sewer technician. ## **Drain and Sewer Technicians in California** Bonney Plumbing offers comprehensive sewer and drain services to ensure you have a well maintained and properly working system.

Out in the Field with Bonney Sewer & Drain](https://www.bonney.com/blog/bonneys-catch-of-the-day-out-in-the-field-with-bonney-sewer-drain/) **Published:** October 18, 2017 **Author:** Michael Forgeur **Content:** [![Sewer Mainline Inspection | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/catch3-225x300.jpg)](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/catch3.jpg) It wasn’t just another typical morning for Bonney 5-star certified plumbing technicians Dustin and Robert. A loyal Bonney client was having a troublesome mainline sewer back-up at their business. Dustin and Robert drove out to the location and discovered a manhole near the property was backing up. When Dustin removed the manhole cover he could see a large amount of roots growing and filling the manhole. This was no typical commercial back-up….Dustin had a feeling in the pit of his stomach that this could be a big one. How big? He really wasn’t sure. Dustin’s instincts told him he was about to pull out something extraordinary. Dustin and Robert leapt into action by bringing out the Big Guns! They used the trailer mount hydro-jetter from the neighboring businesses manhole to restore flow and washed most of the sewage and debris buildup through an open sewer line to view the tree root intrusion better. Dustin and Robert cut four large roots and then hooked it to the excavator to pull the big beast out of the manhole. They lifted the enormous root ball partially out of the manhole and then put another chain in the belly of the beast and wrapped the middle root mass. ![Sewer Line Blockage | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/catch4.jpg) [![Excavating Tree Roots | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/catch2.jpg)](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/catch2.jpg) Dustin methodically tugged and pulled the excavator side to side til the giant powerful roots ripped apart. You could hear the mighty roots being ripped apart by the herky jerky motion of the excavator until there was a complete break in the roots. Dustin hollered through his respirator mask, “That’s gnarly, bro!” [![Sewer Pipe Obstruction | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/catch1.jpg)](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/catch1.jpg) Not sure if the massive tree roots are big enough to call the guys at Guinness Book of World Records but Dustin said, “In my six years at Bonney, I’ve never seen a mass of roots this big!” It was approximately 6 feet in height and three feet in diameter, and weighed over 100 lbs. “We’ll probably never find one this big”, Dustin added. Once the giant root ball was pulled up and hanging from the excavator’s hook, passing motorists were slowing down and taking a long look at the giant slab of root mass hanging from hook. Dustin said,” It’s pretty cool, I ain’t gonna lie”. One of the employees came out to get a closer look of what Bonney pulled out of the sewer and was astonished. “That was in there??” Jett asked incredulously. “We called Bonney and they came out the immediately, no delay. I got your card on file now, buddy!” He said to Dustin. Bonney ran a camera through the cleanout of the commercial building and found that there was no damage to the sewer line itself. Dustin and Robert were both excited about the enormity of the root ball but also happy that they were able to help out a loyal Bonney client. A tree roots primary function is to find water and nutrients to feed the tree. Tree roots can be very aggressive in their search to find moisture, especially during dry weather. Once a tree root finds moisture and nutrients they grow towards it with vigor causing headaches for homeowners and business owners. All sorts of debris can then get caught in the roots , eventually leading to a complete obstruction or even breakage of the sewer pipe. That’s why Bonney recommended the business have their manhole and sewer line serviced annually to clear out any roots growing from the top to avoid future back-ups.

They had an urgent [water heater replacement](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) job ahead of them. Meals on Wheels of Yolo County, which has been providing daily hot meals to seniors in the region for over 40 years, was having major issues with their water heater. The water heater had a whole list of problems, but mainly, it wasn’t providing the facility with the reliable hot water it needed for cooking and washing dishes on a daily basis. The Meals on Wheels kitchen staff prepares over 350 hot lunches every morning for Yolo County seniors which are then packaged and home delivered by their friendly volunteers. The seniors look forward to their freshly prepared hot lunch as well as the human connection they receive from the volunteers who are a vital part of the Yolo County community. ![Water Heater Replacement | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/crew-customer-225x300.jpg)Matt and Dwayne arrived to the Meals on Wheels facility and were greeted warmly by Executive Director Christi Skibbins and the savory smell of pulled pork sandwiches. The freshly prepared sandwiches smelled as good as anything they serve at Dickey’s Barbecue! Christi was eager to get the water heater replaced to have reliable hot water the next day. They had to boil water to keep things rolling that morning. Gloria Tandy, the food services manager said, “It’s hard to run this program and not have hot water, it’ll be a big relief when it’s all said and done”. Matt and Dwayne went to the back of the facility where the water heater was located, slipped on their Bonney coveralls, and went to work to replace the 100 gallon water heater. Matt has been a plumber for over 3 years and Dwayne paid him quite a compliment by saying, “You’d think he’d been doing plumbing for 7 or 8 years”, which is high praise from a senior plumbing technician with over 24 years of experience at Bonney. Matt returned the compliment by saying, “It’s nice to be out in the field with a senior technician, especially with all the plumbing knowledge Dwayne brings to the table, he has a lot of insight and little tricks of the trade”. Both men practiced extraordinary Bonney teamwork, mutual admiration, and a dose of light-hearted banter. It was a perfect combination and great example of the Bonney Way. While Matt and Dwayne were prepping the new water heater for the installation, Meals on Wheels volunteers were busy picking up freshly prepared hot meals that were to be delivered to those who need it most in Woodland, West Sacramento, Winters, and Davis. Judy, one of the generous volunteers, asked if Bonney could come look at her old toilet which had a very slow flush. She knew all about Bonney’s 5-Star service and witnessed it first-hand that morning. Matthew gave her his Bonney card and told her “feel free to call Bonney, we’d be happy to take it look at it”. Then she was off to deliver the scrumptious hot lunch for seniors. ![Welding Copper | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/welding-copper-225x300.jpg)![Cutting Pipes | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/cutting-pipe-300x225.jpg)![Certified Plumbers | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/dwayne-laughing-225x300.jpg)![Water Heater Adjustment | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/water-heater-adjustment-225x300.jpg) Once the kitchen staff was finished with the water at the Meals on Wheels facility, Matt shut off the water supply, the gas supply, and drained the water from the old water heater. An awful lot of brown gunk came out of the water heater! That brown gunk is sediment buildup that settles at the bottom of the water heater. Water has minerals and suspended particles in it which can cause your water heater a lot of problems including lowering efficiency. They used a tubing cutter to sever the cold and hot water pipes connected to the heater and disconnected flue gas connection at the top of the water heater. Then it was time to remove the water heater. That’s when soldering of the copper tubing began. Gentlemen start your soldering! As Matt put on the safety goggles and gloves and methodically started soldering he said, “Soldering copper tubing is becoming a lost art”. Matt and Dwayne have a lot of pride in their 5-Star soldering techniques and took the time to do the job right and demonstrating their quality craftsmanship. Then it was time to fill and heat the hot water heater. Once the water heater started working you could smell the oils burning off, Dwayne exclaimed, “That’s the smell of a successful water heart installation!” Bright and early the next morning there would be the mouthwatering smell of Southern fried steak with country gravy in the kitchen at Meals on Wheels. ![Water Heater Installation | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/final-check-225x300.jpg) Once the guys were finished up, Matt told Christi that “We’d like to be your plumber for any and all of your plumbing needs”. He also gave Meals on Wheels a generous discount on the water heater installation. The Executive Director was pleasantly surprised and touched by the donation. It’s vitally important to have a water heater professionally installed. Bonney 5-Star certified plumbers like Matt and Dwayne are trained to look for potential installation dangers and code violations to make sure the water heater will operate efficiently and safely. It’s especially important at an organization like Meals on Wheels, which counts on hot water every day to nourish and feed seniors who live in the community. A week after the water heater installation, Christi Skibbins, the Executive Director, sent an appreciative note that read, “Thanks to Matt and Bonney Plumbing, we have a brand new 100 gallon water heater which is humming along providing plenty of hot water for all the cooking and dishwashing we do around here! Great job, guys! And also, many thanks for the generous donation to our program when you were here doing the work…we appreciate it!” If you’re ever having water heater issues and your water isn’t getting hot as quick as it could, call the certified premier plumbers at Bonney for 5-Star Service.

Tawana said, “I’m still shocked that I won, I’ve never won anything in my life”. Tawana had just bought her first home with her life savings but was in serious need of a new water heater. She had hired someone to help diagnose some water leaks in her backyard when he mentioned that she was in serious need of a new water heater. It was on its last legs! She told him she couldn’t afford it and would just have to “ride this one out”. Tawana had no money and was getting ready for major back surgery in April. Tawana’s water heater was built in 1991, that was 27 years ago! Nirvana’s “Nevermind” was the number one album, the NY Giants won the Super Bowl , and Terminator 2: Judgement Day was tops at the movie box office that year. Tawana was excited to say “Hasta La Vista, Baby” to her old worn out water heater for a new Bradford White water heater from Bonney Plumbing. While one of Bonney’s 5-star certified plumbing installers, Ben M., was diligently replacing Tawana’s water heater she looked on with her faithful dog Shadie and said, “It looks beautiful, I’m so proud”. Tawana also heaped a lot of praise on Ben, “he’s a very sweet, hard-working guy. I like angels, and Ben was my angel ![Bradford White Water Heater | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Untitled-1-225x300.png)today. He did a great job!” Ben is very passionate about plumbing and it shows. Ben added,” I like my work to be something I can stand by and be proud of”. Once he was finished with the job, Tawana and Ben both stood back and admired the quality craftsmanship of the new water heater installation. “Look at that…isn’t that nice?” She said. Tawana’s plan was to celebrate winning the new water heater by taking a relaxing, warm, bubble bath that evening. When asked how she felt about winning a [new water heater](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) from Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air, Tawana appreciatively said, “I’m elated, thrilled, and appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.” ![Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Michael-Forgeur.jpg) [Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/mforgeur/) *Michael brings 18 years of experience to his role as Plumbing Manager, with a reputation for strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

In those moments, stopping the water to better assess the situation should be your number one priority. However, many people fear they won’t know what to do with themselves when the time comes for the water to be shut off. Living without water readily available to wash your hands or flush a toilet may sound like a nightmare, but turning off your water for repairs doesn’t have to be so stressful if done correctly and at the proper time. ## Key Takeaways: - **Know when to shut off water.** Leaks, burst pipes, or overflowing toilets aren’t just messy; they can cause serious damage fast. Knowing the right time to turn off your water can save you from bigger headaches and costly repairs later. - **Learn your valves.** Your water supply has different shut-off points. You can stop water at the appliance or fixture, shut off the whole house, or even control the entire property’s supply. Understanding where these valves are located gives you options in an emergency. - **Quick action prevents damage.** Acting fast when you spot a problem limits flooding and protects your home. Shutting off the water is often the first step before calling in a plumber, and it buys you valuable time to prevent more serious issues. ## A Quick Guide to Turning Off Your Water Supply As a homeowner, it’s important to know when you need to shut off your water and how to do it. By knowing the main signs that your water supply needs to be shut off and the proper steps to safely shut off your water, you can prevent flooding, water damage, and wasted water. ## When Do I Need to Shut Off My Water? It’s important to note that turning off your home’s water supply is a crucial step for most plumbing repairs, but it isn’t necessary for every little thing. For example, when there’s a widespread water outage for any reason, you don’t need to shut off the water because no damage is being done to your plumbing. There simply isn’t any water flowing. However, when a plumbing problem is actively causing home damage or if having the water on will make it more difficult to repair your plumbing, it’s best to turn off the water supply. If you want to prevent water damage, review the following main signs that you need to shut off your water supply: - [A pipe, fixture, or appliance is leaking](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/plumbing-leak-help/) - The [toilet](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/toilets/) is constantly running even after adjusting the parts in the tank - [A pipe bursts](https://www.bonney.com/2020/10/plumbing-cold-weather-tips/) - Water overflows If you notice any of these signs, it’s best to immediately shut off your water and call your plumber’s emergency line as soon as possible. ## How Do I Turn Off My Water? While a plumber will usually shut off your home’s water for you when they need to make a plumbing repair, sometimes [plumbing emergencies](https://www.bonney.com/2021/07/when-to-call-emergency-plumber/) can occur when a plumber isn’t nearby. If you want to be prepared for an emergency, it’s important to know how to turn off your water. By shutting off your water properly in an emergency, you can lower the risk of water damage before a plumber can inspect your plumbing system and fix the issue. As you learn how to turn off your home’s water, the first thing you’ll need to understand is that you have three types of valves in or around your home that control your water supply. One valve is responsible for shutting off water to your entire house, another will shut off water across your property, and others will turn off water at an appliance. The right valve to use to turn off your water will depend on the type of problem you’re having. To know what valve you should turn off in an emergency, learn more about how and when to turn off the three main types of valves below: ### 1. How to Turn the Water Off at an Appliance. There are multiple appliances in your home that use water to function. If there is a problem localized to a specific appliance or water fixture, it’s probably best to turn off the water at the site of the issue. These water valves usually look like levers or circular knob valves. When you need to shut off the water flowing to an appliance or fixture, like a faucet or [toilet](https://www.bonney.com/2021/09/toilet-repairs/), turn the handle clockwise to shut off the water. ### 2. How to Turn Off the Water to the Whole House Usually, you’ll need to turn off the water to your entire home when you have an emergency, such as a pipe burst or water overflow. Besides shutting off your water to your house during an emergency, you might also want to turn it off when you plan to be away from your home for more than a day. Turning off your water before you leave on a trip will prevent water damage if something goes wrong while you’re away, Like with your appliances and fixtures, you’ll be looking for a red, circular shut-off valve when you turn off the water to your entire home. Depending on where you live, the location of this valve may vary. In hot climates, this valve is typically located outdoors where the cold water pipe enters your home. In cold climates, it may be located indoors, usually next to the [water heater](https://www.bonney.com/2020/06/water-heater-replacement-signs/). ### 3. How to Turn Off Water to the Entire Property Your property’s water valve turns off the water supply to your home and any outdoor fixtures you have, such as sprinklers or misters. This valve is located in a concrete box in the ground out by the street. Open the house side of the box and turn the valve clockwise until it stops. Do not leave it partially open or closed. Since this method of turning off your water is more difficult, it should be a last resort when shutting off water to just your home doesn’t work. ## Frequently Asked Questions About Shutting Off Your Home’s Water If you still have questions about shutting off your home’s water supply, we have answers. Review the most commonly asked questions about shutting off your water and our answers below: ### Is It Bad to Shut Off Water to Toilet? Is It Safe to Turn Off Water to Toilet? When you need to shut off water to an overflowing or constantly running toilet, you should know it’s completely safe to turn off your water’s toilet supply. However, keep in mind that turning off your toilet’s water supply will make it so your toilet can’t flush until you turn it back on. ### Is It Okay to Turn Off Water to a Toilet Overnight? Yes. You can safely turn off the water to your toilet overnight, and we’d recommend doing so if you’re dealing with a toilet issue that needs to be repaired by a plumber. If the plumber can’t fix this issue until the next day, you can keep the water turned off overnight, and you shouldn’t have an issue. ### Is It Okay to Turn Off Water to a Toilet for a Week? How Long Can You Turn Off Water to a Toilet? Like turning off your toilet’s water for a night, it’s safe to do so for a week. While you can keep your toilet water off for as long as you’d like, we wouldn’t recommend it unless you have a problem with your toilet’s plumbing system. When you don’t have an issue with your toilet, turning off your toilet’s water supply will only make it impossible for your toilet to flush and won’t provide any major benefits in water savings. ### Which Direction to Turn Toilet Water Off? When you need to shut off your toilet’s water, the shut-off valve is typically located behind the toilet. Typically, you’ll need to turn the toilet’s valve clockwise to shut off the water and counter-clockwise to turn it back on. ### Is It Safe to Shut Off Water to House? Whether you’re going on vacation or have a plumbing emergency, you can safely shut off the water to your house. While shutting off your water will mean you can’t use your showers, sinks, or toilets, it can prevent water damage during an emergency. ### How to Turn Off Water to Sink? If your kitchen or bathroom sink is leaking or has another plumbing issue, you can turn it off much like you’d do with a toilet. Usually, a sink’s shut-off valve is located under the sink and looks like circular knob valves or levers. Once you find this valve, simply turn it clockwise to prevent water from flowing to your sink. ## Choose Boney for Plumbing Repair and Installation Services in Sacramento Whether there’s a minor leak or a total catastrophe in your home, you need a team of experienced, fast-acting [plumbing professionals](https://www.bonney.com/2020/09/7-plumbing-company-qualities/) on your side.

In fact, many homeowners forget they have a sewer line until raw sewage backs up into the bathroom or kitchen drains, causing costly repairs to the furniture, electrical systems, flooring and other parts of the home. Not to mention, sewage backup tends to cause foul odors in and around your home. Rather than wait for this unfortunate scenario to play out in your home, do yourself a favor and learn how to identify the signs that it’s time for a sewer line repair. ## **Causes of Sewer Line Clogs and Damage** Before delving into what signs to look for, it’s a good idea to know what causes clogged and damaged sewer lines. That way, you may be able to give yourself a head start detecting problems before they began to show. Common causes of sewer line clogs and damage include: - Earthquakes - Old trees with large roots - Aging sewage systems - Debris or grease clogs - Sagging sewer lines ## **Common Warning Signs** **Frequent, minimal backups –** Not all backups are catastrophic. Sometimes a gurgling sound from your toilet or sink that only occurs when you use another water source could indicate a clog. A minimal backup might look like water coming up from the bathtub drain after you flush the toilet. It may not be an emergency now, but it’s a sign there’s clog in your line and it’s best to take care of it before it does become a major issue. **Clogged or slow drains –** You’ve probably had clogged or slow drains before. It’s a common issue that can often be resolved using some DIY unclogging tactics. However, slow drains or clogs that are difficult to resolve – especially if it’s two or more drains at once – may be indicative of a larger clog that’s deeper inside the line. Rather than pour liquid drain cleaner down the drain repeatedly, it may be time to have the line inspected. **Extra lush or green patches of lawn –** Have you noticed patches of bright green or extra thick grass or weeds suddenly developing in your lawn or even under the driveway or pavement? That’s often a telltale sign there’s a crack in your sewer line and the leaking sewage is serving as a makeshift water and fertilizer source for vegetation in your yard. **Septic Pooling in the Yard –** This may seem obvious, but if septic or raw sewage is pooling in your yard, you should have the line inspected as soon as possible. Whether you have a septic tank or not, there’s a good chance a leak in the sewage line has developed. **Sudden rodent or insect problems** **–** Pests such as rats, cockroaches, palmetto bugs and drain flies are sewer dwellers. When your line is cracked or damaged, it’s much easier for these creatures to infiltrate your yard and home – you might be surprised how small of a crack they need to get inside! Not only does this indicate a potential sewage issue, but some pests can carry harmful diseases that shouldn’t be taken lightly. ## **Is Your Sewer Line Ready for a Check Up?** If you have noticed any of the listed warning signs occurring near your home, a [sewer line inspection](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) should be on your immediate do-list. For Sacramento-area homeowners, Bonney Plumbing uses only the latest technology to locate lines, clogs or leaks so our certified technicians can resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

You might not realize it’s clogged until it’s too late, and a routine wash cycle ends up flooding your kitchen floor. ## Common Causes of Dishwasher Clogs When this happens to you, it’s important you determine the cause before you try unclogging anything yourself. It could be something as simple as someone left too much of their dinner on their plate before doing the dishes, or it could signify a larger issue that needs your attention sooner rather than later. You may find yourself with any of these common clogs. Read on to learn how to prevent them. ## **Dishwasher Issue 1: Clogged Hose** The dishwasher hose typically runs from the dishwasher to the garbage disposal and drain pipe underneath the sink. It’s in charge of draining the dishwasher, so naturally, food and other debris can clog the hose over time, especially if dishes aren’t rinsed before being loaded. Since the hose is easily accessible, you can simply check under the sink to see if there’s a clog. If there is, the hose can usually be removed with a pair of pliers and the blockage can be cleared with commercial drain cleaner or a coat hanger. ## **Dishwasher Issue 2: Garbage Disposal Issues** A stopped-up dishwasher can also be caused by your garbage disposal, especially if it was installed very recently. Each disposal is installed with a knockout plug, a small piece that sits in a port where the hose connects. If the plug wasn’t removed after installation, the dishwasher won’t drain. Removing the plug is relatively simple – remove the hose using pliers and pull the plug out of the port. Just remember to re-attach the hose afterward. ## **Dishwasher Issue 3: Dirty Drain Filter** Each dishwasher has a drain filter typically located at the bottom of the interior. If the filter gets clogged with bits of food, not only will the dishwasher not drain completely, but your dishes may not be completely clean. If you notice residue on your dishes after running them through the dishwasher, it may be a good idea to check the filter even if the dishwasher drains fine. To clear the filter, start by removing the bottom dish rack. You should see the basket-shaped filter underneath. You may want to consult your owner’s manual to see exactly how to remove it. Generally, it can be removed by hand. Once it’s removed, wash it with hot, soapy water and put it back in place. ## **Dishwasher Issue 4: Clogged Line** A clogged line is more complicated than some of the other clogging culprits. It’s usually deep underneath the dishwasher, and clearing out the blockage will require professional assistance. If your dishwasher isn’t draining and you can’t find a clog in the filter or hose, check some of the other drains and appliances in your home. If more than one seems to be draining slowly or you can hear gurgling sounds, there could be a clog in your home’s main drain line. ## **Dishwasher Issue 5: Damaged Sewer Line** If your [sewer line](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/) is damaged or broken, you have an issue much larger than a clogged dishwasher on your hands. A damaged or failing sewer line could prevent all your [drains](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) from draining, or it could cause foul sewage backup to make its way into your home. These issues generally develop with older lines, but ground shifting, overgrown tree roots, and other external factors can damage even relatively new lines. ## **Schedule Plumbing Service Today** What can you do when your dishwasher becomes clogged?

This often causes extensive damage to your flooring, walls and appliances. Not to mention the costs of addressing the clog and damaged plumbing. A simple way to avoid this disaster is to identify sewer line clogs before they become catastrophic, but to effectively do that you must first know what causes them. That way, you can correct the blockage before it becomes a major concern. **What is a Sewer Line and What Happens When It’s Clogged?** Each home on your street has a plumbing line that carries waste from toilets, dishwashers, sinks and showers to the main sewer underneath the street. It’s called the sewer or main line. Just like any other pipe or plumbing fixture, it can become clogged or damaged. Unfortunately, because it’s underground, clogs are more difficult to detect. One of the easier ways to identify a clogged sewer line is to keep an eye on the speed at which your fixtures and appliances are draining. A clog in the main line will cause all of them to drain slowly or not at all. Other signs to watch for include sour smells, “gurgling” sounds and shower drains backing up after flushing the toilet. **Reasons Why Sewer Line Clogs Happen** **Clog in Your Home** Sometimes the best explanation is the simplest. If your sewer line has developed a clog, there’s a good chance it came from somewhere inside your home. Blockages can develop gradually or suddenly, ultimately blocking water flow in the line and causing damaging backups. Common clogging hazards include: - - Bathroom waste - Food and kitchen debris - Excessive grease poured down the drain **Tree Roots** Large trees and shrubs in your yard will instinctively seek out water sources underneath the soil to survive during dry seasons. The nearest water source is often your sewer line, especially if it’s close to a tree or shrub. It takes time, but eventually roots can penetrate the sewer line at its joints and cause a blockage or severe damage to the line. This issue is more prevalent in older homes with outdated pipes. **Damaged Lines** Cracked, collapsed or damaged sewer lines can exhibit symptoms similar to those of blocked sewer lines, resulting in backups and flooding in your yard or basement. The damage can be caused by ground shifting during an earthquake, poor ground support or natural wear and tear to an older sewer line made from cast iron or clay. **Sanitary Main Blockage** A clogged sewer line doesn’t always stem from your home’s plumbing. City sanitary mains can become clogged and produce the same results as a clog in your line, including drains backing up and flooding on your property. Though these blockages are often detected prior to becoming an issue, they do occur on occasion. **Excessive Rainfall and Flooding** Sewers can withstand only so much rain and flooding before they’re overmatched and the water goes elsewhere. When this occurs, the excess water often makes its way into residential sewer lines, which can cause clogs and sewage backup. **Sewer Line Service in the Greater Sacramento Area** If you suspect your sewer line is clogged or damaged, it’s best to contact a certified professional to have the lines serviced and repaired before any extensive harm is done to your home.

The kitchen sink, washing machine, and toilets were all backing up. That’s when they called Bonney.** ![Inspecting Customer Drain](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/drain-camera-225x300.jpg)The first thing our Bonney 5-star certified plumber did was test the laundry line in the garage. He found it was clogged and not draining. When our 5-star certified Bonney plumber went to the closet and opened up the crawl space to investigate further he found the real problem…approximately five inches of standing water and sewage from the sewer and drain lines. Not to mention all the rain water from the recent storms that blew through the Sacramento area. The homeowner, Jennifer, was a bit overwhelmed, *“I had to walk away, it was quite a blow”,* she said. When there’s heavy rain the sewer system can also become overwhelmed. The water can’t get through the system fast enough and it begins to back up, sometimes causing sewage to come up through the drains. Clogged or broken sewer lines can cause similar problems. Most homeowners aren’t regularly checking their crawl space for water. It’s not something most people think about. Standing water underneath the home can create a lot of problems…especially if sewage is involved. Wood rot, mold, mildew, and high electric bills can also be caused by crawl space humidity. This can not only lead to serious property damage, but to health issues as well. The good news is it can all be restored by our Bonney 5-star certified Sewer and Drain team at Bonney. Firstly, a local restoration company had to come out for immediate removal of the sewage backup under the home before Bonney could replace the sewer line. ![Bonney Trench-less Sewer Line Replacement](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/bonney-truck-house-300x225.jpg) Bonney used [trench-less technology](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/) to replace the existing sewer line with new High Density Polyethylene pipe. It’s Bonney’s 5-star pipe bursting technology! The purpose of Bonney’s trench-less method is to not disturb the landscape too much so when the job is done, it can look good as new. The front lawn is the husband’s pride and joy! Once all the sewer and drain drama was over and the job passed inspection, Jennifer had a big sense of relief. *”Everything is great! Bonney has been amazing throughout this horrible process. I am glad I can get my life back to normal.”* Problems went away because Bonney saved the day! Bonney was able to turn tears into cheers for a family in Citrus Heights with 5-star sewer & drain service. ![Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Michael-Forgeur.jpg) [Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/mforgeur/) *Michael brings 18 years of experience to his role as Plumbing Manager, with a reputation for strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

The tree canopy is thick with oak, elm, redbud, sycamores, and many more species that help shade Sacramento and give it the nickname “City of Trees”. Trees provide many benefits to the greater Sacramento area. Trees cool our homes, streets, and city. Trees also clean the air, increase property values, and attract some of our most beautiful feathered friends. But, the “City of Trees” could also be nicknamed the “City of Clogged Sewer Pipes”. Trees are a valuable asset to a home’s landscape, but some species of trees can cause big headaches for homeowners when the roots infiltrate old or damaged pipes and cause a major blockage. It’s Attack of the Tree Roots! We’ve established the fact that trees are good. But there are some species you may want to avoid planting near your sewer line just in time for the fall planting season. ### Key Takeaways: - **Some trees have invasive roots that damage sewer lines.** Species like willow, fruitless mulberry, eucalyptus, elm, and silver maple are notorious for growing aggressively toward moisture sources, including leaky pipes. - **Tree roots can cause major plumbing and landscaping problems.** Roots can clog pipes, cause backups, and even push up sidewalks, creating expensive and hazardous issues for homeowners. - **Early detection and professional help are key.** Frequent clogs may indicate tree root intrusion, so contacting certified plumbers like Bonney Sewer & Drain can prevent severe damage and costly repairs. ## Here are the Top 5 Trees You Don’t Want to Plant: ### ![Willow Tree](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/willow-tree-150x150.jpg)Willow Trees Planting a Willow tree might make you weep due to their notoriously wayward root system. There’s a reason they grow so well near ponds and rivers. The roots of a willow grow rapidly towards any moisture, especially moisture from a cracked sewer line. --- ### ![Fruitless Mulberry Tree](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/mulberry-tree-150x150.jpg)Mulberry Trees Fruitless Mulberry trees are growing all over the Sacramento area. They grow very quickly and so does their vigorous root system. They head straight for the old, leaky, nutrient-filled sewer line to continue growing faster than a weed! --- ### ![Eucalyptus Tree](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/eucalyptus-tree-150x150.jpg)Eucalyptus Trees Another tree you may want to avoid planting is a Eucalyptus tree. They have a shallow but rigorous root system that can spread out 100 feet or more. They can invade your pipes faster than you can say, “Call Bonney!” --- ### ![Elm Tree](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/elm-tree-150x150.jpg)Elm Trees Elm trees are adaptable in the city and the country. You see them all over the Sacramento area, however, they have a powerful thirst for leaky sewer lines. Avoid planting them. Throw in Dutch Elm Disease and you’ve got a real nightmare on elm street! --- ### ![Silver Maple Tree](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/silver-maple-tree-150x150.jpg)Silver Maple Trees Silver Maple Trees are a big water hog with big, pesky roots. Their extensive roots are a pain in the neck for home owners and their sewer system. The tree roots also like to push up the sidewalks. Avoid planting a Silver Maple unless you live by a river or stream. --- ### Other Trees To Avoid Other trees infamous for their invasive root system are **Beech trees**, **Honey locust**, **Aspen**, **Empress**, and **Poplar** trees. These trees are all a risky bet if you don’t want your water or drain pipes invaded by tree roots. --- ### Call The Experts! **![Bonney 123 Sewer & Drain](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/icn_123sad-lg.png)If you’re having frequent clogs…call Bonney!** Our 5-star certified [Bonney Sewer & Drain](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) technicians can diagnose if tree roots are the culprit of your plumbing problems. ![Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Michael-Forgeur.jpg) [Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/mforgeur/) *Michael brings 18 years of experience to his role as Plumbing Manager, with a reputation for strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

Laverne was on one side of the room, and John was on the other. They were the only ones left without a square dance partner and that’s when the Caller told them to get together and *“swing your partner!”* They’ve been together ever since, happily married for 32 years. They’ve not only been loyal to each other all those years, they’ve also been loyal to Bonney for almost as long. John said, *“We’re always happy with the work Bonney does at our home. They treat their customers, right. They’re always polite, professional, and never pushy. They come in, tell us what’s wrong, and give us options for repair. The people may have changed over the years, but the personalities and skill have not. The Bonney hiring process works!”* John and Laverne called Bonney after having a pest control guy out to their home. He noticed some water puddling underneath the home in their crawl space and said they may need a plumber. That’s when they called Bonney. *“Everything plumbing is always performed by Bonney”*. John said. Bonney has performed some important 5-star plumbing and HVAC services at the home they share with their two cats Goldie and Biscuit. They had a Rinnai tankless water heater installed, a Puronics water filtration system, along with new sinks and toilets installed by Bonney with 5-star service. ![New Sinks](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/under-sink-plumbing-repair-1024x768.jpg) ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/technician-truck-customers-house-1024x768.jpg) Our Bonney plumbers also cut and removed all of the laundry and kitchen iron drain pipe under the home, under the laundry sink, and under the kitchen sink. They rebuilt all of it with black ABS pipe and strapped it every 4 feet. Our 5-star certified Bonney plumbers tested it by running both the kitchen and laundry pipes. There were no leaks and everything flowed freely. Nick, Kyle, and Robert worked seamlessly together to get the plumbing job done quickly and efficiently. 19 year old Goldie seemed very nonchalant about all the plumbing going on as she lounged on the cat tree in the living room. Biscuit hid in the closet while our 5-star certified plumbing team of Nick Camuso, Robert Howard, and Kyle Koenig were replacing rusty, rotted out pipes under the home. The home was built in 1960, which means their pipes have been around just as long. 5-star certified sewer & drain installer Robert Howard zipped up the white Bonney crawl suit and ducked into the moist crawl space and began replacing the corroded old rusty pipes with new long-lasting black ABS pipe. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/duct-work-replacement-768x1024.jpg) John and Laverne are BAM Club members who enjoy the special discounts that go along with it. They’ve taken advantage of their BAM Club member pricing on Bonney’s plumbing and HVAC services. A new heating and cooling system along with ductwork was performed by the Bonney HVAC Department. *“The only Bonney service we haven’t used yet is Electrical.”* John said. Bonney also meticulously descaled the heat exchanger on John and Laverne’s tankless water heater. ### ![New Water Heater](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/kyle-john-223x300.jpg)Why is this important? Over time, all water heaters, storage tank or tankless, inevitably build up scale deposits that can decrease their operating efficiency. The rate of scale build-up depends on a given geographic area’s water hardness, but sooner or later, it becomes important to descale any unit. While all the plumbing work was happening at the home, John and Laverne were sitting together on the couch holding hands like newlyweds. It was actually pretty sweet! That’s when John reeled off some of the old Bonney commercials that used to air on the radio. From the *“Secret Spy Guy”* to the *“Fortune Teller Spot”*. He knew them all. He also belted out the old Bonney jingle! John and Laverne are the type of Bonney customers we treasure. They’re loyal to each other, AND loyal to Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating, and Air after all these years. ![Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/Michael-Forgeur.jpg) [Michael Forgeur](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/mforgeur/) *Michael brings 18 years of experience to his role as Plumbing Manager, with a reputation for strong leadership, technical expertise, and a commitment to exceptional customer service.

These precautions include social distancing, thoroughly washing hands, and regularly wiping surfaces down with disinfectant. While it is essential to maintain these sanitation practices, it is also important to protect your [plumbing lines](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-main-water-lines/). With the heightened use of sanitary wipes, we are seeing an increased rate of pipe blockage as they are being discarded into the plumbing system. It may seem harmless to flush wipes, but this practice can create personal, local, or even city-wide plumbing issues. Here at Bonney, we work to serve the plumbing and HVAC needs of the larger Sacramento area. Our [plumbing professionals](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) have insight into how you can stay safe and healthy while protecting your pipes from the harms of flushable wipes. ## No Wipes in the Pipes: Plumbing Safety Why are sanitary wipes bad for your pipes? When sanitary wipes, rags, or even paper towels end up in the plumbing system, they can create major backups. Unlike toilet paper, wipes hold their structural integrity when they are flushed instead of breaking down. They are slow to move through the pipes because they are thicker, heavier, and more durable than toilet paper. Their textured surfaces catch on to any lingering food grease and debris that may be present in the plumbing systems. Eventually, these wipes create pipe blockages and cause plumbing overflows. The solution here is simple: throw all sanitary wipes in the trash instead of flushing them into your plumbing system. \[bpl\_content content\_type=”cpt\_videos” id=”16833″ align=”clearfix” size=”col-lg-12″ \] ## Are Flushable Wipes Really Safe to Flush? No wipes in the pipes—this rule applies to all wipes, including those labeled “flushable.” Flushable wipes do effectively break down in your plumbing system…eventually. They take much longer to breakdown then toilet paper does, which provides a large window for clogged pipes. This is why it is essential to throw away all wipes, regardless of whether or not they carry the “flushable” label. ## Alternatives to Plumbing Hazards The CDC suggests daily cleanings for frequently-touched surfaces: light switches, phones, keyboards, remote controls, tables, doorknobs, toilets, handles, desks, faucets, and sinks all make this list for COVID-19 protection. Were you relying on flushable wipes for your home cleaning needs? If you do not want to throw these wipes in the garbage, there are plenty of safe at-home cleaning alternatives that you can find or create yourself. To avoid using sanitary wipes, you may consider using spray disinfectant. This is just as effective at killing germs and keeping your home safe. Spray disinfectant can also provide the benefit of quick and easy sanitation when compared to sanitary wipes. You might also consider wiping surfaces down with disinfectant by using reusable hand towels. While hand towels have a bad rep for carrying germs, they are safe and sanitary when given the proper cleaning considerations. Primarily, it is important to use a fresh towel each time you clean. It is essential to wash them in the laundry before reusing them so that you do not transfer any mold or germs. When done properly, this provides a safe and environmentally-friendly way to sanitize surfaces. You can pair your hand towels with any EPA-registered disinfectant you have at home. If you do not have any disinfectant, you can easily make your own: - **Alcohol solutions:** Any solutions composed of at least 70% alcohol is effective in killing COVID-19 and other harmful germs. This includes alcohol-based antiseptics and even hand sanitizer to help you keep surfaces clean. - **Bleach solutions:** Mixing 4 teaspoons of bleach per 1 quart of water is another solution that you can create at home to disinfect surfaces. Never mix bleach with other household cleaners or ammonia. By using these cleaning solutions without the sanitary wipes, you can save money on household cleaning supplies, avoid an extra trip to the store, promote the health of your home, and protect your plumbing. ## How Bonney Can Help: Plumbing Service in Sacramento Preventing plumbing issues is the first and most effective recourse to keeping your home and pipes protected.

Waiting too long to replace your water heater can spell disaster for your home and could cost you a significant amount of money in wasted water, gas and/or electricity. Neglecting your water heater can also leave you missing out on some beneficial upgrades to not only save money, but also lengthen the life of the system. Bonney is here with insight on how to keep your water heater going and how to tell when a new one might be needed. ## **The Age of Your Unit** Water heaters have a limited lifespan before needing to be replaced. The [US Department of Energy](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/heat-and-cool/water-heating/tankless-or-demand-type-water-heaters) estimates that tankless water heaters can last up to 20 years where storage water heaters last between 10-15 years. However, the hard water levels in Sacramento lead to increased erosion, corrosion, and more frequently needed water heater replacements. This is especially true if you don’t provide your water heater with regular maintenance—such as annual inspections, flushes, and anode replacement. ## **Ineffective Water Heater Functioning** Unlike most aspects of your home, when it comes to water heaters it might be hard to tell something is wrong and not functioning properly. When you notice something is wrong, it may have taken months or years to actually show itself. Scale, corrosion, and sediment can all build up inside the water heater slowly making the heater less and less efficient and effective over its life. Regular checks and maintenance can help prevent this from happening. ## **Water Heater Leaking** Perhaps one of the clearest signs that you need a new water heater is a water heater tank leak There are several external factors that will help a water heater fail such as excessive pressure, system leakage onto the unit, and poor water quality. In best-case scenarios, you replace the water heater before a major issue or find it with only the smallest leak but In worst-case scenarios, major leaks can create significant water damage in your home and belongings. Water is not the only thing to cause damage, steam also causes damage where water never touches. This is why it is essential to stay ahead of water heater care and replacements. ## **Expert Plumber Insight** When all else fails, you can gauge your need for a new water heater by contacting your local plumbing experts. During your recommended annual water heater flushes and maintenance, an expert can provide manufacturer-recommended care while inspecting your system for issues. A professional plumber can also let you know when you are nearing the time for a recommended replacement. Keep in mind that no one can see inside the tank and its exact condition. By maintaining regular care and maintenance, however, your system will be preserved for as long as possible and your water heater’s life expectancy will be extended. ## **Benefits of a New Water Heater** While replacing your hot water heater may feel inconvenient, it can provide outstanding benefits for you and your home. In addition to fixing any present issues, a new unit can provide: - **Fuel Conservation:** A new water heater will speed the warming process. Less corrosion in the tank allows for faster heat transfer thus saving energy to heat the water. This will save you both time and money while helping the environment. New water heaters also have more and better insulation. - **Home Protection:** Old and deteriorated water heaters are ticking time bombs. If you wait too long before your water heater replacement, you could risk a burst unit. This can spread water throughout your home or garage, creating costly damage and wreaking havoc. - **Size Upgrade:** Have you noticed that there is never enough hot water for everyone in your home to take a shower? When installing a new water heater, you can upgrade to a larger, more efficient unit. A larger unit can ensure that there is always enough hot water to go around. - **Saving Water:** Does your water heater work quickly and effectively? If not, it is likely that you are about due for a replacement. The average home wastes an [estimated 12,000 gallons of water](https://www.bonney.com/2016/05/does-it-take-too-long-for-your-shower-to-heat-up-bonney-has-the-solution/) each year waiting on water to warm. Water heater replacements can help you save time, water, and money while enjoying a better experience with your hot water system. A new recirculating pump means your water will be hot in just a few seconds. - **Water Heater Addons that Save:** Maybe you don’t have room for a larger tank but need more hot water… a professional plumber can help you add a thermostatic mixing valve. This allows hotter water in the tank for more capacity while diluting it back down to a safe temperature before it hits your valves. If you are concerned about affordability, consider the amount thrown away every day, month, and year by operating an inefficient water heater as interest paid towards a new one. You can find the lowest possible prices when you partner with a plumbing company that accommodates a wide range of options specific to your needs. It is also helpful to find a company with maintenance plans, [coupons](https://www.bonney.com/coupons-specials/#tab_plumbing), and [financing](https://www.bonney.com/financing/) options, such as those provided by Bonney. ## **Water Heater Replacement in Sacramento** When you are ready for a water heater replacement or inspection, the team at Bonney is here for you.

As homes and businesses in and around Sacramento continue to boost water-saving efforts, they are also experiencing the financial benefits this shift brings. If you are ready to kickstart your water conservation efforts, Bonney is here to help! Here is a look at three things you can do right now to start saving money and water in your home. ## **Upgrade to Efficient Plumbing Fixtures** Plumbing technology has evolved to optimize water usage while achieving the same (or often better) results found in older fixtures. If your home is not taking advantage of the latest water conservation features, you will be throwing money down the drain each time you use your sinks, showers, and toilets. Older fixtures may even leak when they are not in use. Upgrading your plumbing fixtures for water conservation can be as easy as changing your shower head or as comprehensive as complete bathroom renovations with new toilet, shower, and sink installations. When completing larger plumbing projects, you may find that this investment increases your home’s property value in addition to saving you money each month. ### **Some stats to consider from the** [**Environmental Protection Agency**](https://www.epa.gov/watersense/statistics-and-facts) - Upgrading to efficient shower heads can save the average household $70, conserving more than 2,700 gallons of water annually. - Upgrading to efficient [faucets](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/faucets-sinks/) can save the average family $250 in electricity and water costs throughout the lifespan of the faucets. - A [high-efficiency makeover](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/bathroom-remodeling/) in your home’s primary restroom can pay for itself in savings within 1 year. ## **Water Softener Systems and Water Heater Flushing** Hard water contains excess minerals, which can build up inside of your appliances. This added layer of lime and sediments can cause water-reliant appliances—such as your washing machine and dishwasher— to become slow and ineffective. Water softening and conditioning systems prevent this mineral buildup, allowing your appliances to work effectively. Think of all of the water (and time) you would save if you didn’t have to pre-wash your dishes or run extended laundry cycles for effective cleanliness. Another core victim of excess sediment buildup is your hot water heater. These sediments create a barrier between your unit’s heating properties and your water. Slow heating requires you to run the water excessively for it to reach your desired temperature. This sends clean water down the drain. The EPA estimates that the average household can waste up to 12,000 gallons of water each year waiting for an old [hot water heater](https://www.bonney.com/2020/06/water-heater-replacement-signs/) to kick in. Regular water heater flushing and other necessary water heater services will prevent unit declination and allow your water heater to work efficiently. ## **Repair Leaks in Your Plumbing System** Leaky plumbing is quite common, so many homes have become numb to the toll these leaks can take on their water usage and monthly bills. [The EPA estimates](https://www.epa.gov/watersense/statistics-and-facts) that the average household can waste up to 180 gallons of water per week (9,400 gallons annually) from plumbing leaks alone. ### **Shower Leak Repair** - If you notice your shower leaking or dripping when it is not in use, it is wasting water and money. While you may think little of these small drops of water, leaky showers can produce 500 gallons of water waste each year. ### **Toilet Leak and Running Toilet Repair** - If your [toilet](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/toilets/) is “running” (or cycling on and off), this means it is slowly leaking water internally. While you may not notice this leak because it keeps the water in your system, your water bill can take a serious hit. A leaky toilet can waste between 30 and 50 gallons of water each day. ### **Sink and Faucet Leak Repair** - Whether your faucet is dripping or a pipe is draining beneath your fixture, sink leaks have the potential to not only raise your water bill but also create costly damage to your home. By taking care of leaks in your home, you can save water, save money, and keep your home protected from water damage. If you are not sure whether or not your fixtures are leaking, you may be in need of a water conservation inspection. ## **Water Conservation Inspections and Service** One challenging component of water waste is that you may not know it is happening. When subtle water leaks evade detection, they will slowly gouge money from your wallet. Even the costs of small plumbing issues can add up, and these problems can digress into larger issues abruptly. For a look at where you may be wasting water, consider scheduling a [water conservation inspection](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-conservation/). During this service, a professional plumber will examine your home closely to detect both water waste and opportunities for further conservation. Your plumber will then work with you to implement any improvements or repairs your home may need. ## **Bonney Water Conservation Services in Sacramento** Every small step you take towards conserving water adds up tremendously each year.

Does your hot water run out more quickly than it used to? Are you noticing pools of water around your unit? These are all signs that it may be time to replace your water heater. This is an exciting endeavor thanks to all of the emerging technology on the market today; however, recent innovations can also leave you with more options than ever before. If you are feeling overwhelmed in your water heater search, Bonney is here for you. Here is a brief guide to water heaters to help you understand which unit is right for you and your home. ## **Solar Water Heater** What if—instead of causing your energy bill to skyrocket each month—your water heating energy was generated by the sun? This is the experience of homeowners with [solar hot water heaters](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/solar-water-heaters/). With solar power on your side, you can save money, improve your home’s retail value, and help the environment. This investment may even help you qualify for efficiency rebates. While the benefits are extensive, solar water heaters do require a few considerations: - **Plenty of sunlight:** If your home is well shaded, it may not gather enough sunlight to make this installation worthwhile. - **Extra needed maintenance:** Solar water heaters may require extra maintenance to keep your system working well, such as solar collector cleaning and care – this is dependent on the brand you choose. - **Higher upfront costs:** These installations and the units themselves often come with high upfront costs in order to achieve annual savings throughout the lifespan of your unit. Solar water heaters are especially helpful for those with extensive heating needs, such as in homes with a pool, hot tub, or spa. With these considerations in mind, solar water heaters are ideal for quick, efficient, effective, and affordable hot water. ## **Tankless Water Heater** Tankless (on-demand) water heaters also offer quick, efficient heating for your home’s water supply. Rather than gathering water in a tank, they heat water on the spot to maintain a nearly endless supply of on-demand hot water. This means that you will not have to wait around for your water to heat or worry about your supply running low while running multiple appliances or showers. For more details about tankless water heaters, read our [full guide here](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/tankless-water-heaters/). Below are some reasons why a tankless water heater might be the right choice for you: - **Busy household:** You have a large household that requires quick water heating to accommodate a large usage capacity - **Affordable water heating:** You are looking for ways to cut water waste in your home - **Avoiding water shortage:** You frequently experience hot water shortages For a tankless water heater at an affordable price, you may qualify for rebates and special offers. ## **Storage Tank Standard Water Heaters** When you think of water heaters, you might think of large tanks of hot water. These [storage tank water heaters](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) are popular for a reason: they are effective and reliable units that offer lower upfront costs. These water heaters come in two popular varieties: gas and electric units. ### **Gas Water Heater Units** Gas hot water heaters are a popular option for homeowners looking for both energy efficiency and affordable operation. As the name suggests, these water heater units are powered by natural gas. While they tend to cost a little more upfront when compared to electric models, they are still more affordable than other unit types, long-lasting and generally more cost-effective to operate. ### **Electric Water Heater Units** Electric hot water heaters are popular among homeowners looking for safe and affordable new units. These installations tend to be the most affordable upfront, but can have a higher operational cost; however, high-efficiency models are available when you partner with the right brands. ## **Water Heater Maintenance** Now that you have your [new water heater](https://www.bonney.com/2020/06/water-heater-replacement-signs/) picked out, it is essential that you keep this investment protected with regular maintenance. It is common to see a high volume of chemicals in municipal water, which can cause water heaters to decline more quickly. With the proper care and attention—such as regular water heater flush—you can keep your new unit lasting as long as possible. ## **Bonney Water Heater Installation Near Me** If your Sacramento-area home is ready for a new water heater, Bonney is here for you!

While you may think that DIY drain solutions can save you money, they can actually cost homeowners more long-term. Additionally, cleaning your own drains can have you missing out on the benefits that professional service provides. Here is a look at seven benefits of professional drain cleaning, brought to you by the Sacramento-area experts at [Bonney Drain & Sewer](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/). ## **Safe Drain Cleaning** Not only can DIY cleaning be ineffective, but it can also be hazardous to your drains. When used improperly, over-the-counter drain solutions can harm your drains, leading to corrosion, leaks, and burst pipes. By partnering with an experienced professional, you can trust that your drain is cleared safely—preventing both future clogs and costly damage. ## **Effective Drain Cleaning** While a drain clog may seem like a simple fix, oftentimes there are underlying issues that can cost you more money in the long run if not evaluated by a professional. Over-the-counter remedies cannot actually remove hair and other drain blockages; they simply clear the bottom of the pipe enough to temporarily restore function. Worse than just continued blockage, chemical drain cleaners can also cause costly declination within your plumbing system. If your pipes are old, the harsh chemicals may destroy them from the inside out. Even if your pipes are new, harsh drain cleaners can still take a toll on their structure and shorten their lifespan. To avoid costly and repeated problems, an expert can go deeper into your system to manually unclog your drains. Professional services offer comprehensive drain unclogging and cleaning—often backed by a clog-free guarantee. This can result in far more effective and reliable drain cleaning without all of the risks. ## **Free of the Mess and Hassle** Drain cleaning can be challenging work, especially for unpracticed hands. Trying to clear hair and buildup out of your drains can also create a mess when done improperly. By taking advantage of professional drain cleaning services, you can skip the trouble of getting your hands dirty while saving time and money long-term. Professional services also let you forgo the hassle of gathering various expensive tools and over-the-counter solutions. ## **Professional Video Camera Mainline Inspection** Drain clogs can be the symptom of pipe problems or deeper system issues that you may be unaware of—such as drain corrosion or severe drain buildup. Professional cleaning takes the guesswork out of drain health. This is thanks to specialty camera equipment that allows experts to complete mainline inspections. By taking a look inside of your drain, professionals will be able to detect the blockages or clogs causing issues. They will then get them cleared quickly and have your system working like new again. needs. ## **Drain Expert Insight** Perhaps the best way to solve your drain troubles is to prevent clogged drains altogether. But how can you prevent drain issues if you do not understand what is causing them? This is where expert insight can help. During your drain cleaning, a professional can assess the sources contributing to your drain blockage to help you protect your system. For example, if you are [flushing wipes](https://www.bonney.com/2020/03/covid-19-and-pipe-safety-avoid-flushing-wipes/) down the toilet or sending grease down your kitchen sink, you could be creating preventable drain issues. An expert sewer and drain technician will be able to recognize signs of certain drain problems and keep you informed so that you can prevent it from happening again. ## **Peace of Mind** Does the potential return of drain problems hang ominously over your head? Partnering with a reliable drain cleaning service will give you peace of mind rather than leaving you anticipating the return of your drain issues. This is because professional service deep cleans your drains, offering a long-term drain solution. When you work with a trusted drain cleaning service like Bonney, you will even get a 97-day clog-free guarantee. ## **Commercial Drain Line Cleaning** When it comes to your company, the stakes are high and you have more important matters to worry about than clogged drains. If a drain issue arises, you need it taken care of quickly and affordably to ensure that it does not impact your bottom line. This is where [commercial drain cleaning](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/commercial-drain-cleaning/) services come in handy.

Below is everything you need to know about home water solutions, their inner workings, and what it takes to convert your home’s water with a [professional water system installation](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-systems/). ## **Home Water Solution 1: Water Softening Systems** Water softeners address hard water concerns at their source. Through the process of ion exchange, these systems remove minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, from the water. This can come with a wide range of benefits, including softer hair and skin, cleaner dishes without hard water spots, less soap and detergent needed for effective cleaning, protected pipes, and expanded longevity of appliances without the threats of sediment buildup. These systems are the one true solution to water hardness with only a few considerations. With the use of water softening systems, trace amounts of sodium may be found in your filtered water, and extra sodium can be found in the wastewater these systems produce. For more information, speak with the water specialists at Bonney to see if water softening is right for you. ## **Home Water Solution 2: Water Conditioning Systems** If you are looking for ways to protect your home but do not want to remove valuable minerals from your water, a water conditioner may be the solution for you. Water conditioners focus on removing sediments and chemicals while leaving behind beneficial minerals like calcium and magnesium. This still results in hard water, but these systems do not leave you completely vulnerable to the downsides of these minerals—using a magnet system, they realign calcium and magnesium ions to help lessen the effects of hard water. ## **Home Water Solution 3: Whole-House Water Filters** Have you ever dreamed of having clean drinking water straight from the tap? Whole-home water filters make this dream a reality. Your water may contain bacteria, pesticides, chemicals, lead, microbes, and viruses. Local water systems attempt to regulate these contaminants, but they can fluctuate as local and nationwide standards change over time. This is why many homes rely on individual water filters for drinking and cooking. But what if we told you there was a better way to access clean water? Whole-house filters let you clean and regulate water as it enters your home. These systems offer a comprehensive solution to water concerns by eliminating toxins, negative smells, impurities, and excess sediment buildup from your water. They also offer the unique benefit of extending clean water throughout your home, allowing you to use filtered water for showers, cooking, drinking, and cleaning. ## **Bonney Water Systems in Sacramento** When you are ready to upgrade the water in your home, Bonney is here for you.

Low temperatures can put stress on your plumbing systems—leading to broken pipes, water damage, failing [water heaters](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/), and so much more. Before temperatures start dropping, the early fall is an ideal time to prepare your plumbing system for cold weather. The Sacramento-area [plumbing experts at Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) are here with insight that can save your home (and your wallet) from pipe damage. ## Pipe Protection 1: Covering Outdoor Faucets Before the winter weather rolls in, you can help protect your pipes by ensuring that your outdoor faucets are covered. These openings can leave your pipes vulnerable to colder temperatures. First, you simply need to disconnect, drain, and put away any hoses or attachments you may have on your faucet. Next, cover your outdoor [faucets](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/faucets-sinks/). You can find insulated faucet coverings online or at your local hardware store. These coverings usually only cost a few dollars each, and they can help protect your pipes during even harsh winter climates. If you have a sprinkler system, pool, fountain, or another water installation, they may also need you to drain the lines and cover the spouts. Consult your installation/owner’s manual for the winter care specifics, or consult your Bonney experts for suggestions. ## Pipe Protection 2: Leak Detection and Management [Plumbing leaks](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-main-water-lines/) become especially common during the colder months. Cold temperatures can cause the water inside of your pipes to freeze and expand. Once the ice thaws, this can create substantial water damage. To protect your pipes, you can work with a professional plumber (like those at Bonney) to ensure that your pipes are properly insulated. This is especially important for vulnerable and exposed water lines that run underground, through your attic, or in other areas of your home with poor temperature regulation. You may be at a higher risk for pipe bursts if you have an older plumbing system or if your system is already compromised. We recommend you check for leaky plumbing fixtures and have any issues repaired by a Bonney professional before the winter weather rolls in. ## Pipe Protection 3: Drain Inspection and Cleaning Colder seasons also create an uptick in clogged drains and pipes. This is because any grease or buildup that you may have in your drains can solidify more quickly and move more slowly through your pipes. [Drain inspection and cleaning services](https://www.bonney.com/2020/07/professional-drain-cleaning-benefits/) clear these blockages to restore the functioning of your plumbing system. Trusted drain cleaning professionals—like those at Bonney—offer guarantees that ensure your drain issues do not immediately return. For example, [Bonney drain cleaning services](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) come with a 97-day clog-free guarantee. This will help your home stay protected throughout the colder months. ## Pipe Protection 4: Hot Water Heater Flush Sediment buildup and rust within a water heater are common issues, especially when you are living in an area known for its hard water—like Sacramento. During the colder seasons, your water heater has to work harder to function properly. Sediment buildup can heighten the stressors of the season, potentially creating issues with your unit and shortening its lifespan. Even without cold weather, sediment buildup can cause [delays in your hot water heating](https://www.bonney.com/2016/05/does-it-take-too-long-for-your-shower-to-heat-up-bonney-has-the-solution/). This leads to an overall inefficient and ineffective system with higher energy and water bills. To protect your unit, an annual water heater flush can remove sediments before they harm your system. ## Pipe Protection 5: Plumbing System Maintenance Your plumbing system relies on a complicated network of pipes, plumbing fixtures, and their various parts. This requires continuous maintenance to prevent, detect, and repair any problems. For your home’s best possible winter protection, you may consider scheduling your annual plumbing maintenance visit. Plumbing maintenance—such as that provided by [Bonney Beyond](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/)—offers a thorough inspection and the professional care that your system needs. Bonney Beyond features an inspection for both your indoor and outdoor plumbing fixtures.

Here is everything you need to know about winter water heater challenges and how you can keep your home (and wallet) protected. ## Winter Water Heater Cracking Many areas across the US, including California, dip to freezing cold weather at night before rising back up to warmer temperatures during the day. As you can imagine, this constant stress on your system can lead to trouble. In this case, the biggest hazard to watch out for is water heater cracking. Each time that freezing weather hits your water heater, the metal contracts. During the day, the metal relaxes again. This movement can crack your water heater by breaking welds and weak spots in the tank lining. In a best-case scenario, cracked units require a new [water heater installation](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/). At their worst, a crack in your water heater may flood your home—leaving you with both extensive water damage and a broken water heater. Thankfully, proper plumbing service and care can help prevent water heater cracking. During your annual inspections, a plumbing expert can also detect cracks to help you replace your unit before it floods your home. ## Sacrificial Anode Rod Replacement Water heaters rely on their metal structure for safe and effective functioning, but metal can be corroded by constant exposure to water. This conflicting dynamic is made possible by having an anode rod in the water heater. Water and mineral attack metals starting with the soft ones first. The anode rod is softer than the tank, so as long as it is in place, it will protect the tank’s integrity. When the sacrificial anode rod becomes corroded, it will no longer provide protection for your unit. The stress of the winter season paired with corrosion can spell disaster for your water heater. It is essential to have your sacrificial anode rod inspected and serviced before the colder weather rolls in. ## Hard Water and Water Heater Flushing Hard water, such as that found in the Sacramento area, can lead to accelerated water heater decline. The high mineral content of hard water can create sediment buildup in your unit, which impacts your water heater performance. Annual water heater flushing can remove this sediment to prevent damage, restore your unit efficiency, and help your water function well throughout the winter season. To combat the effects of hard water throughout your home, you may also consider whole-house [water purification systems](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-systems/), which help remove some of the extra mineral content from your water. ## Preventing Damage from Water Heater Issues One of the easiest ways to manage water heater disasters is to prevent them altogether. Thankfully, there are simple services that an expert can provide to help keep your home safe from water damage, including water heater inspections, drip pans, and water alarms: ### Water Heater Inspections Regular water heater inspections can help an expert identify any issues that your system may be experiencing before they fully damage your water heater or your home. This includes checking signs of valve corrosion, unit cracking, or safety system failures. If an expert sees signs of water heater decline, they can work with you to find a repair plan. This can save you money on a new water heater and the water damage that your broken system may have otherwise created. ### Drip Pan Installation Plumbing professionals can also install a drip pan beneath your water heater. In the event of a water leak, your drip pan will catch the water that would have otherwise damaged your home. ### Water Alarm Systems Water alarms are devices that can detect water leaks. An expert can install a water alarm system that will notify you of leaks from your water heater. They come in a few different forms: - **Simple water alarms:** At their most simple, water alarms act similarly to fire alarms, setting off a loud alerting noise when a leak is detected. - **Advanced water alarms:** More advanced water alarms can cut your home’s water supply through a shutoff valve connection when it senses a water leak. This saves time and hassle when a water leak surfaces. It is also ideal for homeowners who are worried about potential water leaks when they are away. - **Smart water alarms:** Newer “smart” water alarms can connect with your wi-fi to offer digital compatibility with your mobile devices and digital assistants (like Siri and Alexa). This provides remote monitoring, text alerts, and other high-tech features. ## New Water Heaters in Sacramento Is your water heater ready to tackle the winter weather?

So which type of water heater is right for you? The professional [Bonney plumbers](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) are here to help you navigate the decision between two of the most common water heaters: tankless and traditional. ## What are Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters? As the name suggests, tankless,-also called “on-demand”—water heaters instantaneously heat water as you need it, rather than heating and holding water in a storage tank. Water runs through small pipes that are superheated to quickly warm the required water. Keep in mind “on-demand” does not equate to no wait time for hot water. The water is heated quickly, but still has to travel to the fixtures. ## Pros and Cons of Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heaters in California There are a variety of different factors that homeowners need to consider before installing a tankless water heater. Here are a few of the pros and cons, curated by the Bonney plumbers: - Tankless water heaters can give you endless hot water. - Tankless water heaters have volume restrictions. Too many fixtures running = lukewarm water. - Cold winter water temperatures reduce the amount of hot water a Tankless can produce per minute. A reduction as much as 9gpm to 4.5gpm. - Tankless water heaters can save you fuel costs. - Tankless fuel costs can massively increase if you have people in your home who like to take long showers. The truth is… when the hot water NEVER runs out, some people don’t get out. - Tankless water heaters cannot operate without continuous electricity. - Tankless water heaters operate on 130,000-199,000 BTU’s of gas per hour. - Tankless water heater installs require electricity and a larger gas line runs from the meter (if replacing a standard tank heater). - Tankless water heaters can be installed on an exterior wall and save valuable real estate. - Tankless water heaters require flushing with chemicals to maintain the heat exchanger, flow sensors, and other components, - Tankless water heater heat exchangers can last 20 years IF maintained properly and have good water quality. - Tankless water heaters have sensors, switches, fans, motors, controls for water, gas, and exhaust that could fail. - Tankless water heaters require a permit to install for the unit and a line item on the permit for the new [upgraded gas line](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/gas-line-repair/) and the [electrical outlet](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/gfci-installation/). - Tankless water heater installs can double, triple, or quadruple a standard tank water heater installation cost. ## What is a Traditional (Storage Tank) Water Heater? When you think “water heater,” what image comes to mind? Many think of a large storage tank of hot water—which is a traditional [water heater](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/). These units are characterized by their large metal tanks holding a reservoir of ready-to-go hot water. The capacity of a traditional water heater ranges anywhere between 20-80 gallons. ## Pros and Cons of a Storage Tank Water Heater in California: Much like tankless water heaters, storage tank water heaters come with a full suite of potential considerations. Here is a list of some of the primary pros and cons of “standard” water heaters, brought to you by the plumbers at Bonney: - Tank water heaters run out after 2-4 back-to-back showers, then you have to wait for the tank to refill and reheat the water. - Tank water heaters can send 120-degree water to all fixtures at the same time…for a limited time. - Cold [winter water temperatures](https://www.bonney.com/2020/12/winter-water-heaters/) slightly slow tank water heater recovery times. - Tank water heaters will cost $300-$600 per year to operate under normal usage. - “Standard” tank water heaters can continue to operate if you lose electricity. - Tank water heaters(50gl) operate on 40,000 BTU’s of gas per hour. - Tank water heaters have to be indoors or in a structure to protect them. - Tank water heaters need to be flushed annually. - Tank water heaters are mostly reliable for 8-12 years, though they can last even longer depending on your maintenance, brand, usage, and luck. - Tank water heaters have some safety features and controls that could fail. - Tank water heaters require a permit at the time of installation or replacement. - Storage tank water heaters can be more costly to operate. - Tank water heater replacements can be installed without major retrofit. ## Which Type of Water Heater is Right for Me? What does all this mean? Ultimately, the decision between a tankless or tank water heater is not meant to be a quick discussion, nor does it offer a simple answer. As you can see, there are plenty of potential considerations to make the most of your investment. A Bonney plumber will talk with you one-on-one—taking into account your family, your home, your budget, and your willingness to provide your unit with the care it needs—before providing water heater recommendations. ## Bonney Plumbing: Water Heaters in California If you need help deciding which kind of water heater is right for you and your home, the experts at Bonney are here for you.

So what is preventing your home’s water from getting hot? Here is a look at common causes of unwanted cold water, brought to you by the professional plumbers at Bonney. ## Cold Weather and Water Heater Troubles Cold weather naturally requires your water heater to work harder. The water entering your water heater will be colder, resulting in a wider temperature gap for your unit to bridge. Your [winter water heater](https://www.bonney.com/2020/12/winter-water-heaters/) will also exist in a colder environment, which impacts the unit’s internal temperature. Collectively, cold weather may leave you finding that your water doesn’t feel as hot as it did in more moderate or warm seasons. A simple increase in your water heater temperature can help. Here are some tips from the plumbing experts at Bonney on raising your water temperature: - Only raise the water heater temperature by one notch—A to B on your gas valve should do the trick. - For safety purposes, make sure that your water heater temperature doesn’t exceed 120°F. This is especially crucial if your house has any vulnerable members—including young children, elderly adults, or those with sensitive skin. - Contrary to popular beliefs, a blanket will not protect your water heater from the impacts of winter weather. Your unit is already protected by 2 inches of foam insulation. Additionally, if your unit was to acquire a leak, the blaket might prevent you from seeing it and gettting the issue resolved. - After the winter weather has passed, be sure to turn your water heater back down again. Adjusted water heater temperatures during the warmer seasons may leave you with scalding water. - If you need help or insight when adjusting your water heater, contact the plumbers at Bonney for support. ## Broken Water Tank Dip Tube Have you ever wondered how your tank water heater can provide your home with hot water as it continuously refills with cold water? Your dip tube is to thank for this convenience. The dip tube directs cold water input to the bottom of your water heater tank, while the hot water naturally rises. Your plumbing system distributes the water from the top of your tank, which helps you access as much warm water as possible. When your dip tube is broken, the cold water will infiltrate the top of your tank. This may result in slightly cooler water, frigid temperatures, or anywhere in between—depending on the severity of the break. A professional plumber can replace your dip tube to restore the functioning of your unit. ## Sealed Air Intake Combustion Screen Gas-fueled water heaters may stop working when their air intake combustion screen becomes plugged. This screen is designed to facilitate the combustion process while keeping away harmful dust, dirt, debris, and other safety hazards. When the screen becomes blocked or sealed, this starves your water heater of oxygen and shuts down your unit’s flame. Maintenance is one of the biggest problems causing sealed air intake combustion screens. Screen cleaning requires the removal of the burner and work on internal water heater components, so this is best left to the professionals. While this may seem like a complicated process, the alternative is often a permanently damaged water heater. Depending on your unit and its state, sealed intake screens may not be repairable or replaceable. Worse even, poorly maintained combustion screens can void your warranty, as manufacturers consider a dirty screen to be lack of mandatory care. To prevent damage, protect your unit, and keep your warranty in place, your air intake combustion screen should be cleaned yearly by a professional. ## Shower Issues Causing Cold Water Have you found that hot water runs in your kitchen but not in your bathroom? Your cold water troubles could be caused by an issue specific to your [shower](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/showers-tubs/). Showers used to have two separate handles—one for hot water and another for cold. Modern showers use single-handle valve cartridges to regulate your water temperature. Unfortunately, these single-handle systems can be prone to issues—especially in areas with hard water. Mineral buildup clogs your valve cartridge, which prevents you from tapping into your warm water. Alternatively, you might be experiencing a water crossover issue. This happens when the seals regulating your cold and hot water input break or wear out. This allows the cold water to overtake the hot water before being delivered through your shower. A professional plumber will be able to create a repair plan tailored to the issues your shower is experiencing. They may need to go through a process of elimination to actually find the problem, as the shower isn’t the only place this issue can emerge. ## Winds and Storm Water Heater Impacts The Sacramento area has been seeing 30-50 mph winds recently, which can cause some hot water troubles. For water heater units placed in the garage or near any sources of air infiltration, these winds could blow out your pilot light. In these cases, a routine re-start after the storm could restore your water heater functioning. Otherwise, you may have a larger issue on your hands. ## Potential Water Heater Troubles A wide variety of potential issues can impact your water heater functioning. Your water heater is a network of parts, pieces, and systems. One small disruption in this process can severely impact your home’s hot water. Here is a look at a few of the most common alternative issues facing water heaters: - A slab leak could be draining your hot water heater (often indicated by moisture in your home or a spinning water meter when your water is not running). - Standard tank water heaters could have a defective part on the gas control valve. - Water heaters might develop a failing pilot light assembly. - Electric issues such as a blown fuse, tripped breaker, or electrical connection problem can shut off your water heater—especially electric and [tankless](https://www.bonney.com/2021/01/tankless-vs-traditional-water-heaters/) units. - Hard water or poor water quality could disable your sensors with rust or mineral buildup. Water heater issues often require a diagnostic visit from a professional plumber. Once an expert identifies the problem preventing your water from getting hot, they can work with you to develop a repair or replacement plan. ## Key Takeaways: - Issues like a broken dip tube, clogged air intake combustion screen, or blocked single-handle valve cartridges in a shower can prevent proper heat transfer or cause cold water to mix in.[ ](https://www.bonney.com/blog/water-not-getting-hot/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) - Electrical faults, gas burner problems, slab leaks, or worn internal components may require a professional diagnosis to determine whether repair or replacement is needed. - Extremely cold incoming water in winter adds stress to your heater—raising the thermostat slightly (but safely, under ~120 °F) may help. ## Bonney: Water Heater Experts in the Sacramento Area When you find that your water is not getting as hot as it should, the plumbers at Bonney and [Boyd](https://www.boydplumbing.net/) are here to help you.

So have you ever wondered what prevents water from damaging the metal of your water heater tank? This protection is often provided by a sacrificial anode rod installed in your unit. Find the answers to all of your sacrificial anode rod questions here, brought to you by the plumbing experts at Bonney. ## Key Takeaways: - **Purpose of the Sacrificial Anode Rod:** This rod protects your water heater tank by corroding first, preventing rust and mineral damage to the tank itself. - **Replacement Schedule Matters:** Anode rods generally need to be replaced every 2–4 years (or every 2–3 years with a water softener) to maintain proper tank protection and extend your water heater’s lifespan. - **Neglect Can Be Costly:** Failing to replace the anode rod can shorten your water heater’s life, void warranties, cause leaks, and lead to expensive tank replacements, making regular inspection and replacement essential. ## What Is a Sacrificial Anode Rod? *What exactly is a sacrificial anode rod?* As the name suggests, a sacrificial anode rod is a long metal rod that hangs down from the top of the water heater. It “sacrifices” itself to protect the metal of your water heater tank. As we explained in a recent post about the [Folsom Pinhole Water Leaks](https://www.bonney.com/2020/09/folsom-pinhole-water-leaks/), when two dissimilar metals are connected within a plumbing system, one metal will experience galvanic corrosion while the other experiences galvanic protection. The anodic (less noble) metal will corrode to protect the cathodic (more noble) metal. Water heater manufacturers use this plumbing insight to their advantage by adding a large anodic metal rod into your unit. This sacrificial anode rod experiences galvanic corrosion while offering galvanic protection to the metal of your water heater tank. In more simple terms, this metal insert attracts all of the corrosion and mineral buildup that your water heater has to offer. **As the water eats away at your sacrificial anode rod, it leaves the metal of your water heater tank untouched.** Once the sacrificial anode rod becomes corroded or encompassed in mineral buildup, it can no longer protect your unit. At this point, the water and minerals in your water heater will begin eating away at the tank itself. ## How Often Should I Change the Sacrificial Anode Rod? *So how often do sacrificial anode rods need to be replaced?* After 2-4 years, the sacrificial anode rod will become unable to offer full galvanic protection for your water heater tank. At this point, the water will begin eating away at the tank itself. This is why it is essential that you have your sacrificial anode rod changed every 2-4 years. What causes some sacrificial rods to corrode faster than others? Water quality is the primary source of this difference. Hard water will lead to enhanced mineral buildup. On the other hand, water softened by the use of a sodium water softener will corrode your anode rod even faster due to the trace amounts of sodium in the water. If you have a softener you might consider replacing the anode rod every 2-3 years to prevent premature tank failure. ## What Happens if You Don’t Replace Your Sacrificial Anode Rod? *What happens when you don’t replace your sacrificial anode rod?* Unfortunately, skipping out on this routine service can have some costly and inconvenient side effects: - **Diminished Water Heater Lifespan:** Without a sacrificial anode rod replacement, the average tank water heater will last a *maximum* of 8-12 years. However, your water heater may start failing as early as 5 years old without this essential care. Regular sacrificial anode rod replacements could help your water heater last up to 20+ years. - **Voided Warranties:** If your water heater is protected by a warranty, your manufacturer will pick up the tab on eligible repair and replacement services. However, failing to have your sacrificial anode rod replaced may result in a void warranty. Warranty agreements are often contingent upon your unit receiving all of the manufacturer-recommended care—including sacrificial anode rod replacement. You can reference your warranty agreement and your manufacturer care requirements for full details. - **Seasonal Troubles:** A water heater without the routine maintenance it needs will be more susceptible to seasonal issues—such as [winter water heater](https://www.bonney.com/2020/12/winter-water-heaters/) troubles. - **Water Leaks and Tank Damage:** As your water heater tank begins corroding, you might experience water leaks. Once the tank is compromised, there is no fixing it—replacement is the only option. This could leave you facing the cost of water heater replacement and water damage all at once. ## Can I Have My Sacrificial Anode Rod Checked or Inspected? *Can sacrificial anode rods be inspected?* Yes and no… Mineral builds up on the anode rod and creates a large mass of mineral which could prevent plumbers from inspecting your sacrificial anode rod. If they can get it out, this process often results in the crusty mineral mass breaking off with large pieces of the decomposed rod that settles in the bottom of the water heater. Due to the anode rod breaking up when removed, most experts would recommend replacing the rod since it’s already out. Here is an interesting fact…sometimes an anode rod does not “take”. It is rare, but it can be pulled years later to find it looks fairly new—it never corroded or acted as a sacrifice. This could be the reason for premature (4-6 years) tank failure. If your plumber pulls your sacrificial anode rod out after 2-3 years of service and it looks new, REPLACE IT! You might think that a new-looking anode rod means you are off the hook for replacements, but this is actually a sign that the water is most likely eating your tank. ## Water Heater Service in Sacramento When you are due for water heater service in the greater Sacramento area, Bonney is here for you.

This may leave you wondering whether or not you should turn up the dial on your water heater temperature. Here is everything you need to know about raising your water heater temperature, brought to you by the [plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) experts at Bonney. ## Key Takeaways - **Adjust water heater temperature seasonally.** In winter, raising your water heater slightly can compensate for colder incoming water and a cooler home environment. In summer, lower the temperature to prevent overheating and unnecessary energy use. - **Be cautious with tankless and standard water heaters.** Tankless units heat on demand and may reduce flow if the temperature is raised too high. For all water heaters, avoid increasing the temperature above 120°F to prevent scalding, especially for children, elderly adults, or anyone with sensitive skin. - **Understand fixture output vs. tank temperature.** The water you get at sinks and showers may be cooler than the heater’s setting due to pipe cooling, mixing with cold water, or anti-scald devices. Use a food-grade thermometer for accurate readings and adjust carefully if needed. ## Cold Weather and Water Heater Temperatures *Should I raise my water heater temperature in the winter?* While there is no way to know for sure without taking a look at your unit, most [winter water heater](https://www.bonney.com/2020/12/winter-water-heaters/) troubles are solved with a simple temperature increase. Any time the outdoor temperature drops, you could potentially feel the impacts on your water heater. This happens for two reasons: colder water input and a lower temperature environment. - **Colder water input:** The water entering your unit will be much colder in the winter, meaning that your water heater will have to bridge a wider temperature difference. - **Lower temperature environment:** Your pipes, tank, and home environment will also be colder, which can naturally impact the temperature of your water heater. Every water heater, individual preference, and home plumbing system is different. However, if your water heater tank functioning has become impacted by the winter weather, you can consider raising the temperature. Read more on this process below and its impacts below. Pro Tip: While a higher water heater temperature may solve your immediate unit troubles, they will not protect your unit from the impacts of the winter season. Each time cold water hits the steel of your unit, the metal contracts internally, which is not visible from the outside of the tank. Keeping up with your maintenance is essential to winter water heater care. ## Summer Weather and Water Heater Temperatures *Should I raise my water heater temperature in the spring or summer?* The short answer is no. In fact, the warmer seasons are often the time to turn down your water heater temperature following any cold-weather increases. If you find that you do not have sufficient hot water in the warmer months, this is often a sign of trouble with your unit. Your water heater may be due for [maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/), repair, or replacement. In this case, consider contacting your local experts at Bonney for support. ## Tankless Water Heaters *Should I raise the temperature on my tankless water heater?* While this question is a bit more complex, the answer is often no. [Tankless](https://www.bonney.com/2021/01/tankless-vs-traditional-water-heaters/) units heat water on demand. These systems are preset to a temperature that will give your home a consistent flow of hot water. Many homeowners find their tankless hot water flow is already weaker than the output produced by standard tank units, especially in the winter. This is because the colder water requires your unit to heat a larger differential. In the summer, your water input might be ~50℉, while in the winter it might be ~35℉. This 15℉ difference causes tankless units to slow the flow of water, allowing it to raise the temperature from 35℉ to 120℉. Meanwhile, summer temperatures only require the unit to raise the temperature from ~55℉ to 120℉. The harder your tankless water heater has to work, the less volume of hot water it will produce. When you raise this temperature beyond 120℉, your unit has to work even harder to keep up. Ultimately, this can drop your hot water flow down to a trickle. While this process is *technically* possible, it may not be feasible for your home. ## How to Raise Water Heater Temperature Most homeowners can raise the water heater temperature themselves. To do this, simply turn the dial on your water heater up by one notch or letter. Each notch often signifies a ~10℉ temperature increase—though you should read the specifics in your owner’s manual. Assuming your water heater is in good working condition, this will successfully boost your water temperature. ## Caution: Be Mindful of Potentially Scalding Water It bears repeating that after raising your water heater temperature to offset winter seasonal changes, you must lower it back down when the weather becomes warmer. You also must ensure that you do not raise your temperature more than what is needed to combat the cold weather. Otherwise, you may find yourself with scalding water, which can burn you within seconds. This is especially true for any vulnerable members of your household, such as children, elderly adults, and those with sensitive skin. The [U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)](https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/5098-Tap-Water-Scalds.pdf?m._5xOy.uwIEj8j_PNhlzcDfcLWoPdqJ) recommends maintaining a water heater temperature of 120℉, citing the following stats: - Most adults will suffer third-degree burns if exposed to 150℉ water for two seconds. - Burns can occur with a six-second exposure to 140℉ water, - Burns can occur with 30-second exposure to 130℉ water. - Even at 120℉, a five-minute exposure could result in third-degree burns. Again, these statistics apply to most adults. Every individual is different, and the statistics change across demographics. ## Water Heater Settings vs. Fixture Output Conversely, it is also important to note that the temperature settings on your water heater do not necessarily reflect the temperature of the water you are getting out of your shower or sink. Here are some of the common reasons for this difference: - Water may cool slightly when running from your tank to your faucet. This is especially true when your house is built on a slab foundation. Your pipes will run hot water under and through the cold foundation concrete. - Your water output will vary based on your shower, sink, or faucet configurations. - Sinks and showers all have both hot and cold water pipes that mix together Your resulting hot water will be cooled down when it mixes with the cold pipe’s water supply. - Showers, sinks, and other fixtures may have heat regulators or anti-scald devices that limit the amount of hot water you are receiving. To read the exact temperature of your running water, the CSPC recommends using a food-grade thermometer. The temperature reading is ALWAYS accurate. However, some water heaters are coolest in the morning or at the end of a “sleep” cycle. *What is a sleep cycle?* Your water heater tank does not reheat at every degree drop. When your control valve is set at ~120℉, it will heat to 120℉ (or maybe up to 122℉-123℉) before shutting off (or “sleeping”). The unit will set/sleep until the hot water is used or it naturally drops about 8-10 degrees, then it turns back on. This is why you might have to turn the shower valve handle a little more to the hot side in the morning. Whereas if someone took a shower 30 minutes before you did and the tank is fully recovered, you might get water that feels a bit warmer. If you still feel like your water is not getting hot, you may have a plumbing problem or an issue with your water heater—in which case, you can contact the experts at Bonney for support. ## Bonney: Water Heater Service Near Me If you have any questions about your water heater adjustment, give the professional plumbers at Bonney or [Boyd](https://www.boydplumbing.net/) a call.

Understanding the source of your problems can help make this issue feel less daunting. Here are the three most common causes of sewer and drain problems and the solutions they require. ## Tree Roots and Sewer/Drain Backup As the City of Trees, Sacramento sewer and drain systems often become blocked by tree roots. Tree roots are robust, and they seek out the water within your pipes. Once underground, they can infiltrate your sewer or even break open your pipes. The solution? If you get this issue addressed early, drain clearing services may be able to prevent larger damages. An expert will clear out the tree roots and open your pipes back up. You may need regular maintenance service, but tree roots are more invasive in the winter. You may find yourself only needing this service every year or two. ## Sewer Troubles after Plumbing Service California regulations require all plumbers to install only [low-flow toilets](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/toilets/), [sinks](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/faucets-sinks/), [tubs](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/showers-tubs/), and other [water-conserving](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-conservation/) fixtures. These installations help promote water conservation and prevent drought emergencies. However, they also can create problems that older units did not experience—primarily sewer backups. For example, low-flow toilets reduce water levels from 4.5 gallons to 1 gallon. The low-pressure push of water allows waste to linger in your pipes, creating waste turbulence. Without enough water to fully clear your lines, you may begin to see sewer troubles over time. Thankfully, low-flow toilets are being continuously innovated to become more effective without sacrificing efficiency. There are also a few precautions you can take to make the most of these installations: - **Double Flushing:** You may consider flushing twice when you feel that your toilet may need an extra boost to clear your lines. - **Regular Service:** Annual plumbing inspections—such as with [Bonney Beyond](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/)—and occasional [sewer and drain cleaning services](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) can help keep your plumbing system protected. - **Mindful Flushing:** You can also help the flow of your pipes by [not flushing wipes](https://www.bonney.com/2020/03/covid-19-and-pipe-safety-avoid-flushing-wipes/) (even when they say “flushable”) and keeping other unnecessary intrusive material away from the drain. - **Low-Flow Upgrades:** California has been taking precautions against droughts for decades. Low-flow innovations have come a long way since these conservation efforts started. If you have an older low-flow toilet, you might be missing out on some of the upgrades available in newer systems. Schedule a consultation with your local Bonney plumbers to see if you are due for a low-flow upgrade. When upgrading your plumbing systems, experts have no choice but to install the new low-flow regulated units. Without low-flow upgrades, you may have trouble passing inspections or selling your home. However, these toilets can still be powerful and effective when you partner with the right brands and take the proper precautions. These units will also help you save money on water while making your home more eco-friendly. ## Broken Pipes and Sewer/Drain Troubles Sewer and drainage systems can naturally break over time. Numerous factors can lead to their decline. As mentioned above, tree roots and low-flow sewage turbulence can be significant factors. Your type of pipe may also be to blame. Here is a look at different types of pipes and how they can impact your sewer/drainage system: - **Clay Pipes:** These are one of the oldest types of pipes. Clay pipes are nice and smooth, with a similar appearance to a red clay terracotta pot. They used to be cemented together but are now sealed more carefully. Clay pipes often move with the ground, which is helpful during earthquakes. These are some of the best products available for sewers and drains—as long as they do not have seams. - **Cast Iron Pipes:** Unfortunately, cast iron pipes are often not built to sustain your system long-term. With prolonged exposure to water, these pipes tend to rot out and leach into the ground, allowing roots to grow through. - **AC Pipe (Asbestos Concrete or Asbestos Cement)**: AC pipes are not safe to distribute drinking water, but they can be effective in sewage and draining. After 30-40 years, the smooth layer of cement wears away, and the pipe becomes roughly textured. Toilet paper and waste start sticking to this abrasive surface, causing backups. AC pipes can often be repaired if you call an expert early enough. - **Orangeburg Pipe:** During WW2, everyone was collecting metals for the war effort, including plumbing metals. Metalless Orangeburg pipes were popular during that time. Moisture often gets between these pipe layers, causing structural degradation. Internal layers of tar paper cause the pipe to buckle/bubble, which closes the pipe off. This requires an open trench replacement (more on this below). - **ABS Pipe (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)** – ABS pipes are modern plastic pipes, which are sturdy and abrasion-resistant. While these earned a bad reputation in the ‘80s for pipe breakage, newer installations are more safely reinforced. Though they are still not necessarily the best, these pipes will get the job done. ## 3 Ways to Repair or Replace Sewers Ideally, you will be able to prevent sewer damage with maintenance services. However, once your sewer system is compromised, it will require repair or replacement. Here are the three ways to [repair or replace sewer](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/) systems: ### Option 1: Lining Sewer Repair Method The lining repair method works on solid, round, uncompromised pipes. During this sewer repair, an expert begins by clearing your pipes of roots and debris. Then, they insert a sleeve covered in epoxy, which hardens to line your pipe. This process almost creates a new pipe within your pipe. ### Option 2: Trenchless Sewer Replacement In the [trenchless sewer replacement](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/) process, an expert will push a cable through your sewer system. They manually pull your new pipe through the old pipe. This is a true replacement option, and it is the preferred method for long-lasting results with minimal costs and invasion. ### Option 3: Open Trench Sewer Replacement In what you may consider a “traditional” sewer repair, an open trench replacement requires experts to dig a trench in your yard (sometimes extending to the street or sidewalk). They then remove old, damaged pipes and install new pipes in their place. This process is necessary when damage or configuration makes it impossible to pull a new pipe through your old pipes in the preferred trenchless process. ## Bonney Sewer and Drain: Sewer Service in Sacramento When your sewer or drain system begins backing up, the experts at Bonney are here to help.

The cold water input mixed with the cold pipes and cold environment can significantly impact your unit’s functioning. This cold water issue is solved by simply turning your water heater temperature up a notch. However, as the outdoor temperatures start lowering for the spring, you will need to adjust your water heater accordingly. Here is a guide to lowering your [water heater](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) temperature, brought to you by the plumbing experts at Bonney. ## Should I Lower My Water Heater Temperature? *So should you lower your water heater temperature?* If you feel like it is too hot or you [raised your water heater temperature this winter](https://www.bonney.com/2021/02/raise-water-heater-temp/)—yes, you will likely need to lower your water heater settings. Otherwise, you might find yourself with scalding hot water. When you raise your water temperature to fight off the cold winter environment, then the cold environment becomes warm, you can find yourself with water between 130℉-150℉. Even just two seconds of exposure to 150℉ water can cause third-degree burns in most adults. This impact can worsen among more vulnerable demographics. According to the [CPSC (U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission)](https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/5098-Tap-Water-Scalds.pdf?m._5xOy.uwIEj8j_PNhlzcDfcLWoPdqJ), your water temperature should be set to 120°F. Even just 5-minutes of exposure to 120℉ water can cause third-degree burns in most adults. However, your hot water input will mix with cooler water before exiting your pipe. ### Overheated Water: Considerations for Your Water Heater In addition to scalding concerns, higher water heater temperatures cause your unit to work harder. While this may be necessary during the winter season, it will put unnecessary stress on your unit in the summer. This stress can shorten the lifespan of your water heater, cause more frequently needed repairs, and create higher utility bills. ## How to Lower Your Water Heater Temperature In the winter, most homeowners raise their water heater temperature by just one notch. This process is easy and can often be done without an expert’s help. In the spring and summer, you will often need to simply reverse this process and lower your water by one notch. To assure your safety, you may consider testing the water temperature your shower and sinks produce after adjusting your water heater. If it is still too warm, consider lowering the temperature by an additional notch. ## Warm Weather Water Heater Considerations Water heaters are vulnerable in the winter because of the metal contracting that the cool air causes. However, many homeowners overlook the water heater dangers of the summer season. For homes with water heaters in the attic or garage, you might find the environment surrounding your unit become especially hot. Mixed with poor ventilation, this can cause issues with your pilot light and combustion process. Furthermore, you should pay special attention to water heaters placed in the attic. Not only can this hot environment cause troubles, but if your unit breaks, the water can then put your entire home at risk for damage. ### Why Water Heater Maintenance Matters in the Summer The threat of a warm water heater environment can be compounded by your [depleted sacrificial anode rod](https://www.bonney.com/2021/02/sacrificial-anode-rods/), metal corrosion, sediment buildup, and other year-round hazards. As such, you should consider keeping up with your manufacturer-recommended water heater maintenance. ## Bonney: Water Heater Service Near Me Are you due for water heater maintenance?

This question is common among those who are experiencing sewer and drain troubles. Expert service can help address the source of your clogged drains rather than the symptoms you are experiencing. The drain cleaning experts at Bonney are here with further insight. Let’s take a look at 5 signs you may be due for professional drain cleaning services. ## 1: Frequent DIY Drain Cleaning DIY drain cleaners contain harsh chemicals that can harm your pipes and create costly plumbing damage. However, homeowners still often turn to these solutions when they encounter [clogged drains](https://www.bonney.com/blog/6-reasons-your-drains-become-blocked/). Do you find yourself constantly needing to snake your drain or clear it with chemical products? This occurrence is a sign of a deeper problem that likely requires professional drain cleaning services. ## 2: Slow or Ineffective Draining Naturally, the most prominent sign of clogged drains is standing water in your tub, shower, or sinks. When you have a blockage in your drains, the water will take longer to travel through your plumbing system. This issue can leave you experiencing slow draining each time you take a shower or use your faucets. Professional drain cleaning services can clear blockages buried deep within your pipes, ensuring that your water drains quickly and effectively. ## 3: Gurgling or Bubbling Sounds Clogged pipes interrupt the drainage pathways of your plumbing system. These blockages can force water in different directions and through tighter spaces—resulting in some unusual sounds. If you hear gurgling or bubbling noises coming from your plumbing system, you should stop using the plumbing as you could have a drain blockage and may be due for drain cleaning services. ## 4: Odors Coming From Your Pipes Sludge, mold, and other sources of drain backups can lead to some unpleasant smells. When these materials are not properly cleared from your pipes, their smell will only continue to worsen. As the odor becomes strong enough, these pipe blockages will create rotten smells in your home. If you can trace foul smells back to your drains, you need a drain cleaning service. ## 5: Water Backups Severe drainage issues can cause water backups and leaks. When water and waste cannot drain properly, they may be left with nowhere to go. Instead, these materials can be forced back into your home. At this point, you could have both a drain issue and possible water damage. It is better to get your drains cleaned at the first sign of an issue to avoid more costly problems that may require [pipe lining repair or trenchless sewer replacement](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/). ## Bonney Sewer and Drain Cleaning Services When you are due for a drain cleaning service, the professionals at Bonney are here for you.

Perhaps you start to notice a water stain creeping across your ceiling or walls? It can be easy to panic in these situations. However, remaining calm and taking the right steps can help minimize the water damage while protecting your home. Here is [Bonney Plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/)’s complete guide to what you should do when you find a plumbing leak. ## Step 1: Safety First in Plumbing Leaks When finding a leak in your home, your first priority should be safety. As you might know, water and electronics do not mix well together. When water leaks into your walls, it can easily reach the wiring of your home, which can cause sparks and electrical fires. In severe cases, you may also need to check for the safety of falling debris. When water seeps into your ceilings and walls, it can impact the structural integrity of your drywall. While ideally, you can act quickly to turn off your water supply, you should always put safety first. If you experience an electrical fire, call emergency services and evacuate your home. ## Step 2: Turn Off Your Water Once you are sure it is safe to proceed, your next step will be to turn off your water supply. There are two options for your water shut-off: local and main water shut-off valves. ### Local Water Shut-Off If you are certain of the source of the leak, you may be able to cut the water supply to that one system. Appliance shut-off valves are often easy to locate. For example, when you have a leaking toilet, the shut-off valve is usually connected to the pipes right behind the toilet. Sink valves are often right beneath the leaking sink. While the exact placement and shut-off protocol vary by appliance, locating turning this shut-off valve should stop the water flow. ### Home Main Water Shut-Off When you are experiencing a major leak or are unsure of the source of the leak, you will need to shut off your home’s entire water supply. Bonney offers a [guide to turning off your water supply here](https://www.bonney.com/2018/03/shutting-off-water-supply/). Every home mainline is different. It is good to always know where your main water shut-off valve is in case of an emergency. If you cannot locate your shut-off valve, skip ahead to step 3 to get professional support. ## Step 3: Call a Plumber While there are still some steps you can take to help protect your home from damage (more on those below)—the sooner you call a plumber, the better. A professional plumber has the tools, skills, and experience needed to safely manage the leak. If you are dealing with a minor leak, you may be able to call for a regular plumbing appointment. For more severe leaks, you will need an emergency plumber. Emergency plumbers prioritize your service visit—meaning shorter wait times and more immediate support. This can help you minimize water damage and the amount of time you spend without water. ## Step 4: Clearing Water You can get a head start on clearing your leak to minimize water damage. If it is warm outside with low humidity, open your windows to let some of the heat in and moisture out. You can also use towels to start clearing any standing water. If you have furniture, decorations, or any items in your leak’s pathway, you can move them to safety. This will keep your items protected and clear the way for your plumber. ## Step 5: Plumbing Help Once your plumbing professional has arrived, they will get to work in providing your home with the support it needs. Experienced technicians—like the plumbers at Bonney—will drive fully-stocked trucks to complete same-day services. A plumber will assess the damage, diagnose your plumbing troubles, and work to implement immediate repairs. ## Bonney Emergency Plumbers in the Sacramento Area When you are experiencing a plumbing leak, the emergency plumbers at Bonney are available 24/7.

However, for homes along the west coast, this summer is also expected to bring record-breaking drought. In addition to its environmental concerns, drought can create higher water bills as the supply and demand balance shifts. Thankfully, there are some steps you can take to get your home ready without breaking the bank. Here are 5 drought-proofing tips that will help you save money and water this summer. ## Tip 1: Low-Flow Water Fixtures One of the easiest ways to incur water savings is by installing low-flow [faucets](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/faucets-sinks/), showerheads, and [toilets](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/toilets/). If you have not made the switch to low-flow, now is the time. These units are designed to save money and water while promoting environmental protection. If you already have low-flow fixtures, you will want to ensure they are not outdated. Low-flow technology has evolved a lot over the years. Newer units are both highly efficient and water-conserving. If you have older low-flow fixtures, you may be due for an upgrade. ## Tip 2: Check for Leaks When your pipes, plumbing fixtures, or appliances are leaking, they will waste money and water while putting your home at risk for greater damage. All of your plumbing systems are susceptible to leaking—including your showers, sinks, and faucets. Another common—yet unsuspecting—culprit of leaks is your toilets. Flapper issues with a running toilet may drain water when your toilet is not in use. Some signs of home plumbing leaks include: - Higher water bills - Water stains on your walls or ceilings - Standing water or puddles in your home - High home humidity - Noises (such as dripping water or continuous running toilet sounds) However, certain plumbing leaks, such as a slab leak, may only be detectable by a professional meter check. Annual plumbing maintenance can help you stay ahead of potential leaks. Here is our comprehensive guide on [what to do when you find a water leak](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/plumbing-leak-help/) in your home. ## Tip 3: Pool Tips For Saving Water If you have a pool, you know the financial toll it can take on your water bill. Thankfully, there are easy steps you can follow to save water and money. First, turn off your automatic pool filler. This setting could have your pool refilling with every splash. Instead, you can save water and money by refilling your pool with a hose as needed. You might also consider plugging your pool overflow. Each time you create a small splash or wave, a little water is lost out of the drain hole. This causes your pool to need frequent refills. Water evaporation is a primary source of pool water loss. By covering your pool when it is not in use, you can prevent this evaporation. You may also consider regularly checking your pool for leaks. An easy way to do this is with the bucket test: - First, turn off your pump so that your pool will not refill on its own. - Then, fill up a 5-gallon bucket with water from your pool. - Next, place the full bucket on your pool stairs. If possible you will want the bucket water levels to be even with your pool water levels. - After 24-hours, you can compare the water levels of your pool with the bucket. Both may lose water from evaporation. However, if your pool is leaking, it will drain water faster than the bucket. ## Tip 4: Install a Recirculating Pump When you need hot water—whether for a shower, cleaning, or cooking—you often have to run your water for a while before it gets hot. This process tends to waste time, money, and water. The solution for quick hot water is a [recirculation pump](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-recirculation-pumps/). This installation can save you up to 12,000 gallons of water waste each year while offering the convenience of instantaneous warm water. It’s a win-win situation. Best of all, with the latest technology, this installation is a quick and easy upgrade for your home. ## Tip 5: Mindful Water Usage We all need running water in our homes. The key is making the most of the water you use. By being strategic and mindful in your home practices, you can save both water and money. Here are a few ideas for making the most of your water usage: - **Bathroom Radios:** For homes with multiple people and only a few bathrooms, some residents may want to be discrete when using the bathroom. As such, they may run water to cover their bathroom noises. Consider putting a radio or noise machine in your bathrooms as an alternative. This can help keep your family comfortable while saving water. - **Water Conserving Routines:** Turning off the water while brushing your teeth, shaving, or washing your face can add up to significant water (and money) savings over time. You may also consider spitting in the toilet instead of your sink. This will save your drains from clogging with toothpaste while saving you extra water. - **Greywater Systems:** If you are serious about saving water, you can also have a custom greywater system engineered for your home. During this process, we design a system that repurposes laundry and tub water for gardening and irrigation. While it is not a “quick and easy” process, it results in serious water savings. - **Full Appliances:** Ensure your water-based appliances (like your dishwasher and laundry machine) are full before running them. For example, your dishwasher will use the same amount of water with each cycle—regardless of whether it is a full load or nearly empty. As such, you make the most of your water by running only full loads. - **Check Water Pressure:** Most homes have a water pressure regulator valve, which should be set around 50 PSI. Higher PSI settings will lead to substantially more water waste. Elevated PSI settings cause you to use a higher volume of water each time you turn on the shower or faucet. Not to mention, the high pressure creates turbulence within your pipes, which can wear out your water-based appliances and plumbing systems. - **Smart Irrigation:** Water your lawn and garden in intervals rather than all at once. You should also check your sprinkler heads for leaks. [According to the EPA](https://www.epa.gov/watersense/statistics-and-facts), irrigation system issues can waste 25,000 gallons of water each year. You may also consider installing a new irrigation controller. The latest models have water-saving settings to help you manage your conservation efforts while keeping your yard green. ## Bonney Home Drought-Proofing in Sacramento Are you ready to drought-proof your Sacramento home or business?

One small blockage can quickly build and collect other pipe hazards. This is why they often [require professional drain cleaning services](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/signs-you-need-drain-cleaning-services/). So why do drains become clogged? Understanding the source of this issue can help you prevent clogs before they become a problem. Let’s take a look at the 6 most common causes of sewer and drain clogs. ## Problem 1: **Sludge, Mold, and Bacteria** Your pipes are narrow, moist environments that are constantly exposed to water and bacteria. This is the perfect storm for mold, sludge, or algae growth. As these materials begin growing within your pipes, they will also collect more debris instead of allowing it to flush down the drain. As such, sludge, mold, and bacteria growth can quickly escalate your sewer and drain troubles into a clog that won’t go away. ## Problem 2: **Tree Roots** In areas with heavy tree coverage—like Sacramento—[tree roots](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/sewer-problem-solutions/) can find their way into your pipes, creating severe backups. Even if you are not in direct proximity to trees, their roots can find a pipe from over 100 feet away. Vulnerable pipes are especially susceptible to tree root troubles, including broken, damaged, or older pipes. For example, rotten cast iron piping and Orangeburg pipes are two of the biggest magnets for roots and backed-up sewers. Unfortunately, once tree roots are in your pipes, they can quickly cause damage. In this case, you may need more than drain cleaning services. Damaged pipes will require [pipe lining sewer repair or trenchless sewer replacement services](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/). ## Problem 3: **Debris** Over time, your pipes can also gather hair, sand, dirt debris, and other materials rinsed down the drain when you shower or wash your hands. Many people try to remove contaminants, like hair, with DIY drain cleaning chemicals. Not only do these pose a threat to your pipes, but they also only offer short-term relief. The slime on hair gets burned out, which temporarily restores your drain’s function. However, hair can only be removed with cables—it does not dissolve with drain cleaners. Without manual service, the hair remains in your drain and continues to collect build-up. ## Problem 4: **Soap** Body soap and shampoo are two of the biggest culprits of a plugged drain. Soap leaves a film on pipes, which builds up until the drain is clogged. This is especially true in homes with water-conserving showerheads. These showerheads will leave your pipes managing water with a high concentration of soap. The ratio of soap to water makes it easier for soap and shampoo to clog your drains. ## Problem 5: **Toothpaste** Toothpaste is another significant source of drain clogs. Many people do not use enough water when brushing to flush the toothpaste all the way down the drain—especially those who turn off the water right after rinsing. While this is great for water conservation, your toothpaste solidifies in that U-shaped pipe (p-Trap) under the sink. Almost all of these drain stoppages can be prevented by using more water at a higher volume. ## Problem 6: **“Flushable” Wipes** [“Flushable” wipes](https://www.bonney.com/2020/03/covid-19-and-pipe-safety-avoid-flushing-wipes/) are a silent killer for sewer systems. Wipes can be marked as “flushable” when they break down within a certain amount of time. However, this can take years to dissolve—giving these wipes time to block your pipes. Their textured surfaces can easily catch on to waste in your sewage system, leading to quick buildups. “Flushable” merely means working systems can *theoretically* handle these materials. **To protect your pipes, never flush wipes—even when they say “flushable.” You should always throw wipes away in your trash bin.** ## Bonney Sacramento Sewer and Drain Services The best way to discover the source of your drainage issue is to contact a sewer and drain professional like Bonney. After diagnosing your drain troubles issues, our experts will work with you to create and implement a service plan.

This is in addition to [common obstructions](https://www.bonney.com/2021/06/6-reasons-your-drains-become-blocked/) like debris, sludge, and “flushable” wipes. One of the most reliable solutions to sewage system damage is a trenchless sewer repair. The Bonney Sewer and Drain professionals are here with a closer look at this service and answers to common questions we get from customers. ## What Exactly is Trenchless Sewer Replacement? **Many customers ask us, “What is trenchless sewer replacement?”** [Trenchless sewer replacement](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/) is an alternative solution to traditional open trench sewer replacement. As the name suggests, this process lets a professional replace old, corroded, or damaged sewer pipes without digging a full trench at your home or business. Instead, professionals run a large cable through your old pipe and connect it to a cone-shaped bursting head. Then, they attach your new pipe and pull it through the old pipe—literally “bursting” the old pipe out and pulling the new pipe in. Instead of mechanical fitting to connect the pipes (which fail over time), the pipes are melted together. This process makes these connections as strong (or stronger than) the actual pipe. ## How Does Trenchless Sewer Replacement Work? The trenchless sewer replacement process works by pulling new, durable pipes through old corroded pipes. While it might sound complex, this process can be quick and easy with the right tools and expertise on your side. Let’s break down the steps of this process: - **Step 1: Sewer Inspection—**Professionals begin all sewer services with a camera sewer inspection. This lets experts gauge your system damage to ensure that trenchless sewer replacement is right for you. At Bonney, we always show customers their camera inspection results so that you can see the problem firsthand. We will discuss your trenchless sewer replacement scheduling and pricing to ensure there are no surprises. Experts may also make recommendations to help you avoid sewer issues in the future. For example, they may recommend you stop [flushing wipes](https://www.bonney.com/2020/03/covid-19-and-pipe-safety-avoid-flushing-wipes/), increase your plumbing water flow, or engage in regular sewer maintenance inspections. - **Step 2: Locate and Dig—**Once you decide on sewer replacement services, your sewage professional will locate the best entry and exit points for your new pipes. They then dig small openings that are much less invasive than an open trench replacement would require. - **Step 3: Heat Fusion—**Using professional-grade tools, your sewer & drain expert will then melt your new pipes together instead of connecting them with unreliable mechanical fittings. These new pipes will be nearly ½-inches thick and a standard 4-inches in size. They are made with HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene), the industry-leading standard for trenchless sewer replacement. This step involves melting the HDPE pipes together. No metal connectors are used, which means you will not face the standard corrosion and failure that can occur a few years after metal connector installation. Instead, this leaves you with a custom, durable, upgraded system designed specifically for your home. - **Step 4: Insert Your New Pipes—**Finally, your trenchless sewer replacement professionals pull a cable through the old pipe. We then attach the 5-inch bursting cone and new pipe to the cable line. Then, we can begin pulling them through the old pipe. This process bursts and breaks the old pipe to imbed it into the soil—creating a 5-inch path for the new 4-inch pipe. This cable ultimately leaves the replacement pipes in its pathway. ## Why Choose Trenchless Sewer Replacement? Sewer systems and their components have a limited lifespan. Unfortunately, the traditional open trench sewer replacement method requires costly sewer service as well as a full trench. These trenches may require professionals to tear up the lawn, landscaping, driveway, parking lot, and more of a home or business. To provide an effective sewer replacement without the harmful trench, sewer and drain professionals turn to trenchless sewer replacement services. ## Can Trenchless Sewer Replacement Fix Any Sewer Issue? While it is a reliable solution to *some* sewer troubles, trenchless sewer replacement is not the answer to *all* sewer issues. There are three alternative solutions available (depending on your situation)—sewer line cleaning, pipelining trenchless sewer repair, and open trench sewer replacement. ### *Sewer Line Cleaning* Systems encountering blockage with no signs of structural damage may simply need a sewer line cleaning. Your system may require professional-grade snake cleaning, [Hydro Jetter sewer clearing](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/hydro-jetter/), a [sewage pump](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/sewage-ejector-pumps/), or a [routine sewer & drain cleaning service](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/). A professional will be able to tell which service is best for you during your camera inspection. ### *Pipelining Trenchless Sewer Repair* When you catch a sewer system issue early, you may be eligible for pipelining trenchless sewer repair. The pipe lining process involves lining your pipes with a sleeve covered in industrial-grade epoxy. The epoxy hardens to create a “pipe within your pipes.” However, the pipelining process only works on sturdy, round pipes in the early stages of decline. ### *Open Trench Sewer Replacement* Conversely, if you delay your sewer service too long, your system will not be able to withstand the pipelining repair process or the trenchless sewer replacement process. Why? - The trenchless sewer replacement process requires professionals to pull your new sewer system through your old pipes. When your system is too degraded or collapsed, it will obstruct the replacement pipe and prevent it from pulling through. - Additionally, trenchless bursting has its limits. It cannot go through foundation footing or concrete. While it can pull through pipes surrounded by roots, it will not pull through if the roots are too large or intrusive. - Finally, the bursting cone follows the pathway of the old pipe. If there are low spots or “bellies” in the system, it will usually pull through, but the bellies will remain—causing problems in the future. In these cases, your system will require open trench sewer replacement.

Alongside the danger posed by trees, the area also has low-flow plumbing fixtures that tend to not fully clear pipes of everyday substances, such as shampoo, toothpaste, and waste. Thankfully, all hope is not lost. Sacramento homeowners can easily protect their pipes and prevent clogs in a few easy steps. The sewer and drain experts at Bonney are here with 6 tips that can help save your sewage system. ## 1. Avoid Placing Certain Foods in Your Garbage Disposal Many homeowners treat their garbage disposals as a one-stop solution for excess food. However, putting the wrong substances down your garbage disposal can spell disaster for your pipes and drains. While garbage disposals can grind up some foods into a manageable size, you’ll want to avoid placing sticky or thick foods into them. Some of the main foods you should never try to grind with a garbage disposal include potato skins, coffee grounds, eggshells, and banana peels. Additionally, it’s essential to avoid pouring cooking grease down your drains. While cooking grease is a liquid while hot, it thickens into a solid after cooling. This grease can then clog your pipes and back up your system. Instead, put grease in your garbage can once it cools. #### *How Do You Use Your Garbage Disposal?* Another thing to keep in mind: your garbage disposal and your kitchen drain pipes are two separate entities designed to work together. Garbage disposals are made to grind and chop food up as quickly as possible. While your garbage disposal can work fast with large quantities of food, drains often have a smaller capacity. Too much too fast is a perfect storm for creating clogged kitchen sinks. ## 2. Protect Your Pipes from Low-Flow Fixtures Low-flow plumbing fixtures are standard in homes and businesses across the west coast. While these fixtures are necessary for conserving water, saving money, and protecting the environment—they do not do your pipes any favors. Instead, they often do not provide enough water to fully flush your pipes clean of waste, toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, and more. These substances begin [building up in your pipes](https://www.bonney.com/2021/06/6-reasons-your-drains-become-blocked/), which could capture hair and debris in turn worsening clogs—especially within your U-shaped pipe (p-Trap) underneath your sinks. Thankfully, there are a few easy steps you can take to help prevent low-flow plumbing fixtures from impacting your sewer and drains: - **Double flushing:** The fix to low-flow toilets is simple. Consider flushing twice when it is necessary to fully clear your lines. - **Extra water:** This solution is similar to double flushing. When your toilet needs it, you can pour extra water (a gallon or two) into the tank for a more comprehensive flush. - **Spit toothpaste into the toilet:** Not only does this help conserve water, but it also prevents toothpaste from hardening in your sink pipes. - **Mindful showers:** Here is one pipe-saving tip you might enjoy—a little extra time in the shower can help prevent clogs. After rinsing your soap, give the water a little time to flush your pipes. - **Debris traps:** Consider equipping your sink and shower drains with traps to catch the hair and debris that accelerate clogs. - **Avoid chemicals:** Instead of flushing your pipes with harmful chemicals that erode your pipes, consider investing in regular drain cleaning services. ## 3. Don’t Flush “Flushable” Wipes or Other Paper Products Down the Toilet Another way you can protect your pipes is to only flush toilet paper down your toilets. Other paper products, like paper towels, will struggle to deteriorate in your drains, leading to clogs. Other items, such as menstrual products, dental floss, and diapers, can also clog your system and lead to pipe damage. One of the biggest culprits of drain clogs is [“flushable” wipes](https://www.bonney.com/2020/03/covid-19-and-pipe-safety-avoid-flushing-wipes/). While you can find several wipes marketed as “flushable” on shelves, these wipes can wreak havoc on a home’s sewer system. While toilet paper is made to break down within pipes, flushable wipes are usually made with synthetic materials that take weeks, months, or even years to disintegrate. As a result, flushable wipes can linger in your pipes. Their abrasive surfaces also attract grime and other contaminants—escalating the buildup and clogs in your system. As such, wipes should go in a trash can rather than down the drain. ## 4. Take Action on Minor Issues Fast Plumbing systems are often “out of sight, out of mind.” This makes it easy for homeowners to ignore warning signs in the early stages of sewer and drain issues. While it can be tempting to put off seemingly minor repairs, small problems can quickly grow into more costly damage. Some primary [warning signs you are due for drain cleaning](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/signs-you-need-drain-cleaning-services/) include slow-clearing drains, water backups, and frequent DIY drain cleaning. Besides these issues, you’ll also want to watch out for visible signs of wear on your pipes, valves, and fittings—such as rust, corrosion, and mildew. Pipes that make gurgling, banging, hissing, or rattling sounds are also trying to warn you of upcoming troubles. To ensure these small issues don’t turn into major problems, you’ll want to take action fast by having [sewer and drain technicians](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) come out to inspect your system, complete any routine maintenance, and make any needed repairs. ## 5. Protect Your Pipes From Tree Roots In places like Sacramento with widespread [tree root intrusion](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/sewer-problem-solutions/), how can you keep your pipes safe? Keep an eye out for signs of tree root damage. Some of the main signs of tree root damage include gurgling drains, sinkholes on your property, and foul smells coming from your drains. By catching these warning signs early, you can save your lawn from an open trench sewer replacement by qualifying for a trenchless pipelining sewer repair or [trenchless sewer replacement](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/trenchless-sewer-replacement-services/) service. ## 6. Schedule Regular Sewer and Plumbing Services While you can follow a few tips to avoid clogs and pipe damage from occurring, some issues are inevitable. As a result, it’s important to sign up for regular sewer and drain inspections, cleanings, and maintenance from a trusted company like Bonney.

From the tree roots that seek out and destroy pipes to the city’s low-flow plumbing regulations that prevent contaminants from fully clearing—Sacramento’s sewer systems require more [frequent professional care](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/). Fortunately, when you catch sewer issues early, you can often address them with a pipe lining trenchless sewer repair. The experts at Bonney are here to answer all of your questions about pipe lining sewer repair here. ## What Is Pipe Lining Trenchless Sewer Repair? Pipe lining trenchless sewer repair is a restorative process to address sewer concerns with minimal landscape invasion. During this process, your technician pulls a sleeve covered in epoxy through a sewer pipe in its early stages of decline (read more on this process below). This creates a “pipe within a pipe” to restore a sewer system to proper functioning. Many homeowners choose a pipe lining trenchless sewer repair to prolong the lifespan of their sewer system and prevent damages leading to full sewer replacement. ## When Do You Need Pipe Lining Trenchless Sewer Repair? ***Is pipe lining trenchless sewer repair the right service for you?*** A trenchless sewer repair is ideal for round, structurally sound sewer pipes in the early stages of decline. This decline may include minor leaks or subtle root intrusion. Generally, trenchless sewer repair is appropriate when your pipes haven’t yet been damaged. ***What if I do not qualify for pipe lining repair services?*** Once your pipes have become damaged, they will not support the pipelining process. In cases of mild damage, you might qualify for trenchless sewer replacement. This process involves replacing your old pipes with minimum landscape intrusion. Some homeowners opt for trenchless sewer replacement even when they qualify for pipelining repairs to reap the benefits of a longer-lasting solution. You can read our [full guide to trenchless sewer replacement here](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/trenchless-sewer-replacement-services/). ***What about open trench sewer replacement?*** If your pipes have become substantially damaged or blocked, the trenchless sewer replacement bursting tool will not allow your new pipes through. In these cases, your system will require an open trench sewer replacement. You can read more about [open trench sewer replacements here](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/sewer-problem-solutions/). ## How Long Does Pipe Lining Trenchless Sewer Repair Last? When you opt for trenchless sewer repair, you can expect the epoxy-covered sleeve to last between 10 to 30 years, if not more. Of course, this will depend on a variety of factors, including your [maintenance/care routine](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/drain-cleaning/), the landscapes in your area, and other considerations. Ultimately, pipe lining service can increase the lifespan of your pipes without the cost or intrusion of a full replacement. ## How Do Technicians Perform Pipe Lining Trenchless Sewer Repair? If you think you might need pipe lining trenchless sewer repair services, you’ll likely want to know what’s involved in the repair process. Below are the main steps qualified technicians will perform while conducting a pipe lining trenchless sewer repair: ### 1. Perform a Camera Inspection Before a technician begins a repair, they’ll take a moment to use a drain inspection camera system to examine your sewer system’s health and spot any issues. This camera system will help the technicians identify your sewer system’s problems. After identifying its issues, a technician will know if a pipe lining trenchless sewer repair is the right course of action. With the information they gain from the camera system, a great technician team will show you their inspection results. Next, they’ll discuss your options with you, ensuring you get the best service possible. ### 2. Clear Debris and Tree Roots from Your System After you go over your results with a qualified technician and decide you need a trenchless repair, the technician will get to work. They’ll begin by removing debris and tree roots from your pipes. This removal process ensures your pipes are clean and ready for the technician to add a liner to them. ### 3. Complete Pipe Lining Trenchless Sewer Repair Process Once the technician clears away debris and tree roots, they’ll start the actual repair process. They’ll first pull an epoxy-covered sleeve through your pipes. Next, they’ll blow air into the sleeve, so it turns into a tough round liner. As the air contacts the sleeve to your pipe, the epoxy will harden. After the epoxy finishes hardening, it will essentially become a whole new pipe within your old pipe. As a result, your sewer pipes should work appropriately again. Keep in mind, this sort of repair can only be done on round, sturdy pipes. ## Choose Bonney for Trenchless Sewer Repair Services in Sacramento, California At Bonney, our technicians regularly perform pipe lining trenchless sewer repairs for homeowners in the [Sacramento, California area](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-service-areas/).

Fortunately, many of these issues can be resolved through straightforward [toilet repair](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/toilets/). The plumbing experts at Bonney have compiled insights into five common toilet problems and the toilet repairs they necessitate. ## **Problem 1: Constantly Running Toilet** A continuously running toilet is one of the most frequent toilet issues. This problem causes the toilet to cycle on and off endlessly, even when not in use, leading to a significant increase in water bills and the wasteful use of clean water. In severe cases, a malfunctioning toilet that doesn’t properly stop water flow can result in overflows and potentially severe water damage. ### **Toilet Repair Solution:** The usual suspect behind a running toilet is a faulty flapper, which is meant to seal the water tank when the toilet is idle. If the flapper fails to seal correctly after flushing, it allows water to flow non-stop, causing the toilet to run. Replacing the flapper typically resolves this issue. It’s crucial to ensure the new flapper is compatible with your toilet’s design and that the chain is correctly adjusted for optimal performance. ## **Problem 2: Toilet Water Runs Too Long** If you notice the water in your toilet tank continues to run long after refilling, it’s likely an issue with the fill valve, which controls the water’s on and off mechanism post-flush. A malfunctioning fill valve due to debris buildup or wear and tear can cause this problem. ### **Toilet Repair Solution:** Adjusting the fill valve to lower the water level may fix the issue. However, if the valve fails to stop the water flow properly, it indicates the internal gaskets have deteriorated, necessitating a new fill valve installation. ## **Problem 3: Toilet Leaks** Water leaks from the toilet can lead to excessive water bills and potential water damage. The source of a leak can vary, including corroded pipes, loose bolts, cracks, and more. ### **Toilet Repair Solution:** Inspecting the tank for obvious signs of leaks can sometimes save you a professional service call. However, if the leak source isn’t apparent, it’s advisable to seek assistance from [a professional plumber to accurately identify and repair the leak](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/plumbing-leak-help/). ## **Problem 4: Loose Toilet Handle** A loose toilet handle, which can hinder proper flushing, is a sign of a malfunctioning toilet. The handle should offer resistance, indicating it is engaging the chain and flapper mechanism inside the tank correctly. ### **Toilet Repair Solution:** Adjusting or replacing the chain might be necessary if it’s improperly sized or damaged. Ensuring the handle is securely mounted is also essential for proper operation. ## **Problem 5: Toilet Not Flushing** A non-flushing toilet is a clear indication of a problem. This could be due to a disconnected chain, insufficient water supply, or other issues. ### **Toilet Repair Solution:** Reconnecting the chain or ensuring the water supply valve is open and the tank is filled are primary steps. In some cases, valve replacement or professional assistance may be required. ## Key Takeaways: - **Constantly running or long-running toilets waste water.** A faulty flapper or fill valve is often the culprit, and replacing or adjusting these parts usually resolves the issue. - **Leaks and loose handles signal plumbing issues.** Leaks can stem from cracks, loose bolts, or corroded pipes, while a loose handle may need chain adjustment or tightening to ensure proper flushing. - **A toilet not flushing requires quick action.** Causes include disconnected chains, low water supply, or valve problems, and fixing them may involve simple adjustments or professional repair. ## **Local Toilet Repair Services by Bonney** For residents experiencing toilet issues in the [greater Sacramento area and beyond](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-service-areas/), Bonney’s professional plumbers are ready to assist.

However, ignoring your crawl space can turn into a big problem if water gets inside of it. While having water in your crawl space can happen from time to time, it should never be a normal occurrence. Find out more about why water in your crawl space can be an issue and its main causes. ## Why Is Water in My Crawl Space a Problem? Whether you have water in your crawl space after heavy rain or from a leaky pipe, it’s an issue you should immediately take action on. Since your home’s crawl space is located on your home’s foundation, standing water in it can damage any wooden beams or concrete foundations underneath your home. If standing water is left unchecked, it can end up weakening your home’s structure and make it unsafe to live in your house. Besides the potential for standing water to harm your home’s structure, even a little bit of water can lead to other issues. Many pests, such as cockroaches, crickets, mold mites, spiders, and even termites, are attracted to damp spaces, making water in your crawl space unacceptable. If the water attracts termites, they could even start to eat into your home and damage it. Alongside attracting pests, water in your crawl space can cause mold and mildew growth. Both mold and mildew can affect your home’s air quality, leading to chronic health conditions for those who live there. Due to the potential health hazards to yourself and damage to your home, water in your crawl space is never normal and should be removed immediately. ## What Causes Water in My Crawl Space? Do I Have a Plumbing Leak? While a plumbing leak can cause water to accumulate in your crawl space, there are several other reasons why it might be occurring. Find out more about the main causes of water in a crawl space below: - **Higher Elevation:** A raised foundation home is built by digging a hole where the house will sit and pouring the foundation around the perimeter of the hole. The hole becomes the crawl space. Now the elevation around the house is always higher than the crawls space. This makes for a perfect catch basin for any extra water accumulating around the house. - **Leaking vent wells or windows:** Many crawl spaces include windows and vents that can start to develop gaps in them. These gaps can allow water to leak inside your crawl space. Fortunately, a quick vent or window repair can usually fix this issue. - **Overwhelmed or clogged yard drains and gutter down spouts:** Water in a crawl space after heavy rain is a fairly common occurrence that can become a problem if it overwhelms your yard drains. When your drains are overwhelmed, they could allow the water to flood your crawl space and harm your home. Besides the danger of overwhelmed drains, clogged drains can also be a problem, as they won’t even allow light rain to escape. If your drains get easily overwhelmed or you suspect they’re clogged, you’ll want to [hire a drain professional](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) to inspect them. If the yard drains are plugged, running the sprinklers any time of year can cause the crawl space to flood - **Leaking or burst pipes:** A leaking or burst pipe in your crawl space can cause water or sewage to form in your crawl space. Besides potentially damaging your crawl space and structure with leaking water, a damaged pipe can cause other plumbing issues in your home. When a drain is broken, human waste or waste from the laundry, showers, sinks and garbage disposals can drain under the house—potentially creating a hazardous condition. This type of waste can accelerate mold growth while attracting spiders, insects, and rats. As a result, you’ll want a [plumber to handle the problem](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-main-water-lines/) immediately. - **Cracked foundation:** When you have water in your crawl space, it can cause your house to develop cracks in the foundation. Foundational cracks can actually make the water in your crawl space worse. These openings allow water into your crawl space, creating issues like rotted wood, mold, and structural damage. This water will also attract tree roots and give them resources to grow—further threatening your foundation. A professional will need to locate any cracks or gaps and seal them for you to fix this issue. - **Poor grading:** If your home wasn’t properly graded, water can often struggle to drain away from your foundation and crawl space. As a result of improper grading, water can build up against your foundation and leak into your crawl space after heavy rain or flash flooding. If the problem persists, you could end up with a flooded crawl space and structural damage. In the short term, you’ll want to [hire a professional](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-main-water-lines/) to immediately remove the water, and in the long term, you might want to correct your home’s grading. ## How Do I Remove Water in My Crawl Space? Due to the many reasons your crawl space could be filled with water, it’s usually best to [hire a plumbing professional](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) to inspect the crawl space. If there are natural reasons for the water, Bonney can install a pump system to remove the threat from your home. Otherwise, they can fix the plumbing issue at its source. ## Choose Bonney for Crawl Space Water Removal and Repairs in Greater Sacramento If you’re looking for crawl space water removal and repair services in Sacramento, California, turn to Bonney.

While these rods are essential to your water heater’s longevity, they can age and corrode over time, leading to smelly water. Find out more about sacrificial anode rods and why they might be causing your water to smell bad. ## Key Takeaways: - **Your water heater’s anode rod protects the tank, but it can also cause smelly water.** When aluminum or magnesium rods corrode, they react with sulfites in the water and create hydrogen sulfide gas, leading to that “rotten egg” smell. - **Replacing or upgrading the rod can fix and prevent odors.** A plumber can flush and disinfect the tank, then swap the old rod for a zinc or aluminum-zinc alloy rod, which greatly reduces the chance of smelly water. - **Professional inspection is the best long-term solution.** If odors persist even after replacement, a plumber can check for other underlying issues in your system to ensure safe, clean water. ## What Are Sacrificial Anode Rods? A sacrificial anode rod is a key part of a tank-style water heater. This long metal rod is installed inside a water heater’s tank and hangs from the top into the tank’s water. As the name suggests, a sacrificial anode rod protects the rest of the tank’s metal by [attracting corrosion and mineral build-up](https://www.bonney.com/blog/sacrificial-anode-rods/) to itself. While the rod corrodes, the rest of the tank’s metal will be unaffected by the water, helping the water tank last longer and stay rust-free. Typically, sacrificial anode rods last around two to four years before breaking down and losing their protective abilities. After a sacrificial anode rod corrodes enough, it will fail to protect the rest of the tank. When the water in the tank doesn’t have a rod to send its minerals to, it will send them to the tank instead, leading to your water heater corroding. ## Why Do Sacrificial Anode Rods Cause Smelly Water? While sacrificial anode rods are critical to the health of your water heater tank, they can sometimes create issues with smelly water. For example, a corroded aluminum or magnesium sacrificial anode rod is a common cause behind water having a rotten-egg smell. As magnesium or aluminum sacrificial anode rods break down, the corroded metal will react with the water’s sulfites. This combination of corroded metal and sulfites results in the creation of hydrogen sulfide. When you have hydrogen sulfide in your water heater, it will cause your home’s water to have a rotten egg smell that you’ll likely want to get rid of as fast as possible. ## How to Get Rid of Bad Smelling Water? If your sacrificial anode rod is at fault, you’ll need to contact a plumber. One short-term rotten egg water smell service a plumber can perform is to drain your water heater’s water and disinfect the tank. The plumber can also replace the corroded anode rod with a new one to prevent the smell from coming back for a little while. ## How Can I Stop My Sacrificial Anode Rod From Causing Bad Smelling Water in the Future? Though flushing your tank’s water, disinfecting the tank, and replacing the anode rod will usually stop the bad smell, it won’t prevent the smell from coming back in the future if you continue to use a magnesium or aluminum sacrificial anode rod. Instead of using an anode rod made out of one of these materials, you can prevent the bad smell from returning by having a plumber install a new zinc or aluminum-zinc alloy anode rod. Since aluminum-zinc alloy or zinc anode rods don’t interact with bacteria like rods made of only aluminum or magnesium, they significantly reduce the chance of hydrogen sulfide getting in your water. By switching to a rod that doesn’t produce hydrogen sulfide, you’ll prevent bad-smelling water, even when the sacrificial anode rod is corroded and close to needing a full replacement. If the bad smell continues to persist after you’ve replaced your old rod with a non-hydrogen-sulfide producing rod, you’ll want to have a [plumber inspect your home](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) for other potential sources. ## Choose Bonney for Water Smell Plumbing Services in Sacramento When you need a water smell repair or inspection, turn to Bonney.

Since your toilet’s water supply will continue pumping water to your toilet unless it’s shut off, it’s important you know how to turn off toilet water by using your toilet’s shut-off valve. Luckily, it’s usually pretty easy to turn off a toilet’s water supply. All you have to do is follow a few steps. ## Key Takeaways - Know where your toilet shut-off valve is. Usually located behind the toilet on the wall, the valve allows you to stop water flow in emergencies like an overflow or before making repairs. Being familiar with its location can prevent water damage. - Turn the valve clockwise to stop water. Most valves require a clockwise turn to shut off. Always check that the water is actually off by flushing the toilet, if no water refills the tank, you’re good to go. - Turn counterclockwise to restore water. Once repairs are complete, turn the valve fully counterclockwise to resume water flow. For stubborn or corroded valves, it’s safer to shut off the main water supply and call a professional plumber. ## How to Turn Off Your Toilet’s Water Supply While most people should leave toilet repair work to plumbing professionals, sometimes emergencies make it so you can’t wait, especially if your toilet is overflowing. When you need to turn off your toilet’s water supply fast, you’ll need to use your toilet’s shut-off valve. Since most homes and apartments have a toilet shut-off valve located behind the toilet, you’ll usually only need to follow these steps to turn off your toilet’s water supply: - **Find the toilet’s shut-off valve:** To turn off your toilet’s shut-off valve, you’ll first need to find it. Usually, the valve will be located behind your toilet and mounted on the wall. To find the valve, simply look at the wall behind your toilet, and the valve should be near the bottom of your wall’s left-hand side. - **Turn the valve clockwise:** Once you’ve found the valve, just turn the valve clockwise until it doesn’t allow you to turn it anymore. If your toilet has a push/pull valve, you’ll need to pull your valve all the way out. For valves that are stuck due to rust or corrosion, we do not recommend touching. Instead, shut off the main water to the house. - **Check if the water supply is cut off:** After turning off the toilet water line, it’s a good idea to see if it worked. To check if the water is off, flush your toilet and see if any water refills in your toilet’s back tank. For times when your toilet is clogged, lift your back tank’s float lever and then push it down. If water doesn’t fill up in your tank once you’ve performed either of these checks, your water supply is cut off. - **Turn your valve counterclockwise to turn the water back on:** If your toilet is ready for use again, you can turn the water back on by simply turning the shut-off valve counterclockwise. Make sure you’ve turned the valve as far as it can go before flushing the toilet to see if everything’s in working order. ## Choose Bonney for Toilet Repair and Replacement Services in Sacramento and Concord Turning off your toilet’s water line is only the first step to fixing an overflowing or broken toilet.

While you can expect your water to be cold when you first turn on a faucet or run your shower, it should only take a few minutes for your water to start warming up. When your home’s water is slow to warm up, there are a few common causes you’ll need to be aware of. ## Reasons Your Home’s Water Might Take a Long Time to Heat Up When you know the main causes of why your water takes too long to heat up, you can solve the issue faster and start enjoying hot showers again. Review the most common reasons why your water is taking too long to heat up below: ### 1. Low-Volume Restrictor Sometimes, a shower or a faucet might have a low-volume restrictor installed on it to help save water. Though these restrictors can help you lower your water usage, they can also cause a delay in hot water. This issue can be made worse if your water heater is located a long way away from the faucet or shower, as the hot water will have to travel a great distance and then pass through the restrictor to reach you. To solve this issue, you’ll want to [contact a plumber](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/), as they’ll be able to inspect the faucet for one of these restrictors and come up with a solution. ### 2. Old or Malfunctioning Water Heater Water heaters typically last around 10 years, and as they age, they can start to break down and need repairs. When your water heater starts to malfunction, it will often struggle to heat your water and become more and more inefficient. The longer you use a water heater past its normal lifespan or after it’s started showing signs of needing a repair, it will become more inefficient and struggle to send you hot water quickly. If you have an older water heater, you’ll likely need a[ full water heater replacement](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/). For a newer water heater that’s malfunctioning, a repair by a professional can often be enough to give your home hot water again and speed up the time it takes to reach you. ### 3. Sediment Build-Up As water passes through your water heater, it can cause sediment to build up in your water. This sediment build-up can block heat transfer, resulting in longer water heating times. Fortunately, depending on the tank’s age and condition, a professional plumber may be able to solve the issue by flushing the tank. After flushing the tank, the sediment will be removed, and you should start receiving hot water quickly again. If the water heater has never been flushed, there is a possibility that there’s too much sediment build-up, and flushing the water heater won’t do anything. In that case, you may need a full water heater replacement. ## Why Won’t My Water Get Hot at All? If your water won’t ever get hot, no matter how long you wait, your water heater has likely broken and needs to be repaired or replaced. Instead of trying to find the issue and try to fix it yourself, [contact a professional plumber](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) who can inspect your system and give you the best solution possible. ## Choose Bonney for Water Heater Repair and Replacement Services in Sacramento Now that you know why your water is taking too long to heat up, turn to Bonney for water heater repair and replacement services in Sacramento and Concord.

Instead of immediately hiring a sewer technician to perform an open trench replacement, you should know there are two other less invasive solutions you can use to potentially fix your sewage issue. By knowing the differences between trenchless sewer repair, trenchless sewer replacement, and open trench replacement, you can select the perfect sewer solution for your needs. ## 1. Trenchless Sewer Repair Sometimes called pipe lining, [trenchless sewer repair](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/trenchless-pipe-lining-sewer-repair/) is a sewer solution that uses an industrial-grade sleeve coated in epoxy to line a damaged pipe. A sewer technician will insert this sleeve into your pipe without any invasive digging, meaning your yard won’t need to be dug up to fix your sewer line. Once the sleeve is inserted, the epoxy helps protect a damaged sewer line or a section of the line from intrusive tree roots and further harm. After a sewer technician inspects your line with a camera and determines that a trenchless sewer repair will solve your issues, they’ll first clean out any debris or tree roots in your pipe. When the line is completely cleared, the technician will pull the epoxy-coated sleeve through it. Next, they’ll ensure the sleeve forms into a strong round liner, and once the epoxy hardens, the liner will have essentially created a new pipe inside your old one. ### When Do You Need a Trenchless Sewer Repair? A trenchless sewer repair is a great option when you have solid, round pipes that haven’t been structurally damaged. However, significantly degraded pipes or those with structural damage due to corrosion or tree roots will need a full replacement. Generally, trenchless sewer repairs are only right for homeowners whose pipes have minimal damage, such as small leaks or cracks. ## 2. Trenchless Sewer Replacement Sometimes called pipe bursting, [trenchless sewer replacement](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/trenchless-sewer-replacement-services/) is another sewer solution many homeowners turn to. Unlike a trenchless sewer repair that inserts a sleeve into your pipe, a trenchless sewer replacement involves an entirely new replacement pipe being pulled through your old line. Like trenchless sewer repairs, this solution is non-invasive, meaning the technician won’t need to dig a trench in your yard to replace your damaged line. Before a technician performs a trenchless sewer replacement, they’ll inspect your line with a specialized camera to make sure this solution will solve your issue. Once they’ve determined it will be beneficial, they’ll dig entry and exit holes on both ends of your sewer. Next, they’ll fuse together sections of pipe, creating a new pipe long enough to fit in your sewer line. With the pipe sections fused, the technician will pull a cone-shaped bursting head through the old line. This bursting head will enlargen the old pipe, so the new pipe will fit. After the technician bursts your old pipe, they’ll insert the new one inside the shell of the old one. ### When Do You Need a Trenchless Sewer Replacement? A trenchless sewer replacement is right for you if corrosion or tree roots have caused some structural damage to your pipes. Since it’s a trenchless option, it’s also a perfect option for homeowners who don’t want technicians digging up their yards to locate the entire old pipe. However, this solution shouldn’t be done if the replacement pipe can’t be pulled through due to the old pipe being majorly degraded or if a complete pipe collapse has occurred. ## 3. Open Trench Sewer Replacement Of the three main sewer solutions, [open trench sewer replacement](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/sewer-problem-solutions/) is generally a last resort and the most invasive option. As the name suggests, open trench sewer replacement requires a technician to dig a trench through your yard to locate and find the pipe. They may also need to dig through the sidewalk or street, depending on the location of your sewer line. Like trenchless repair and placement solutions, the open trench sewer replacement process starts with a camera inspection. If the inspection reveals that trenchless options aren’t possible, the technician will dig a trench to access your old pipe. Finally, they’ll replace the old pipe with a new one, refilling the trench once the job is completed. ### When Do You Need an Open Trench Replacement? Due to the invasive digging required to conduct an open trench replacement, you’ll only need an open trench replacement if trenchless repair or replacement services aren’t possible. For example, collapsed or significantly degraded pipes will require an open trench replacement. ## Choose Bonney for Trenchless Sewer Repairs in Sacramento Live in Sacramento and looking for trenchless sewer repair services near you?

As it gets hotter out, you’re more likely to use more water taking showers, washing clothes, keeping well-hydrated, and watering your lawn. When you use more water, your plumbing system will have to work harder. To ensure your plumbing system performs at its best, you can follow these five tips to prepare your system for the summer. ## 1. Look for Leaks The winter can put your plumbing system under more stress and create issues you won’t immediately notice. Before the summer, search for plumbing damage by checking for leaks throughout your home. As you inspect your home for leaks, be on the lookout for broken components, corrosion, dripping water, and rust on the interior and exterior of your home. To ensure you’ve done a complete inspection, use a flashlight to check darker areas and any cabinets. If you find a leak, [turn off your water](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/plumbing-leak-help/) to ensure you’re not wasting it and call a plumber. ## 2. Assess Your Water Heater’s Conditions and Turn The Temperature Down Your water heater has to work its hardest during the winter to compensate for the colder temperatures. As a result, you’ll want to check it for signs of damage, such as corrosion, leaks, and rust, prior to the summer. If you notice any, it’s time for a [professional water heater repair](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/). Alongside checking for damage, turn your water heater’s temperature down a few degrees. Since you’ll probably be taking colder showers in the summer, turning down the temperature won’t impact your comfort and can reduce wear on your water heater while reducing its energy consumption. ## 3. Check Your Washing Machine Over the summer, people tend to sweat more, leading them to change their clothes and do loads of laundry more often. Since you’ll probably be using your washing machine more regularly, you need to ensure it’s ready for the uptick in usage by taking a few minutes to inspect it for damage. If you notice any damages or cracks in your washing machine’s hoses, connections, or other parts, it’s time to call a professional plumber to fix the issue. When a washing machine is past fixing or simply old, you may want to skip the repair and replace it instead. Alongside giving you better performance, a new, high-efficiency washing machine can [reduce your water consumption](https://www.bonney.com/2017/01/tips-conserving-water/) and help you save money. ## 4. Clear Your Gutters While you might not think of your gutters as being a part of your plumbing system, they’re critical for removing water away from your home. Over the winter, leaves and other debris can build up in your gutters, potentially causing water to overflow and seep into your home’s walls. To avoid any structural damage or foundation issues, always remember to clear your gutters of any debris before the summer. ## 5. Inspect Your Sump Pump When you have a sump pump installed in your home, you’ll want to inspect it at the beginning of the summer. Since summer storms can show up out of the blue, you’ll need your sump pump to be ready to handle them. Turn the sump pump on, make sure it has power, and then pour water into it. If your sump pump doesn’t start processing the water, something’s wrong with it, and you’ll need a plumber to [provide a sump pump repair](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/sewage-ejector-pumps/). ## Choose Bonney for Plumbing Service in Sacramento Live in Sacramento and looking for plumbing service near you?

One of the best ways to make your home stand out to buyers is to invest in a few services that regularly improve a home’s retail value. From new HVAC systems and EV chargers to whole-house fans and recirculation pumps, you have plenty of options to choose from while you try to upgrade your home. To get a sense of the type of services you might want to invest in, check out our top six services we recommend to increase your home’s price. ## 1. New HVAC System Installation As HVAC systems get older, they become more inefficient, tend to make more noise, and are increasingly likely to break down. If you want to make your home more attractive to buyers, an [upgraded HVAC system](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/) can do the trick. Replacing your old system with a new one will make your home more energy-efficient, comfortable, and quiet. These benefits can increase your home’s retail value on the market, as buyers won’t have to worry about repairing or replacing an HVAC system shortly after purchasing your home. ## 2. Custom Greywater System Installation When you live in California, you know how important water conversation is to Californians. Since many Californiahome buyers want to save money on their water bills and reduce their water consumption, a [custom Greywater system](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-conservation/) can be an excellent addition to your home. Instead of letting water drain into your sewer system, these systems reuse water from sinks, showers, and washing machines for landscaping or gardening purposes. As a result, your home will be more water-efficient, increasing its value to eco-conscious home buyers. ## 3. EV Charger Installation With the ever-increasing popularity of electric vehicles (EVs), homes with EV chargers already installed in their garages are often valued higher. Since at-home EV chargers remove the need to drive to a charging station and pay higher rates for electricity every time an EV needs a charge, they make owning an EV more cost-effective and convenient. By investing in [EV charger installation](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/), you’ll likely find buyers who are willing to pay more for the convenience of already having a charger installed. ## 4. New Hot Water Recirculation Pump Installation When a potential buyer inspects your home, a couple of factors they might look for are your home’s water efficiency and how fast your water heats up. Installing [new hot water recirculation pumps](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-recirculation-pumps/) at your home can meet both of these concerns. These pumps are designed to instantaneously deliver hot water to fixtures, meaning homebuyers who want to save water and never wait for hot water will be more likely to pay more for a home with them. ## 5. Whole House Fan Installation A [whole house fan](https://www.bonney.com/2020/06/sacramento-whole-house-fan-installation/) is a cooling system designed to draw cool air into your home while also flushing warm air out. Since this type of fan helps your AC cool your home, it increases your home’s energy efficiency and reduces AC strain. These benefits make homes with whole-house fans more enticing to homebuyers who want to protect their HVAC system and receive more affordable cooling. ## 6. New Water Heater Installation Another way to raise your home’s value is to replace your old water heater with a new one. Since new water heaters will deliver hot water faster and have a lower risk of breaking down compared to older models, they’re much more attractive to new homeowners. To make your home even more valuable, have an HVAC technician recommend and [install the most energy-efficient model](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) possible. ## Choose Bonney for Services Designed to Increase Your Home’s Retail Value in California Whether you want to invest in an upgraded plumbing system or need to replace an outdated HVAC system, our team has you covered.

You might need to replace your toilet flapper. Since a toilet flapper makes it possible for a toilet to regulate water in its tank and flush waste down the drain, you’ll likely want to know when you’ll need to replace your toilet flapper and how to correctly install a new one. ## Key Takeaways: - **Identify the Problem Early.** A constantly running toilet is often caused by a worn or damaged flapper that doesn’t properly seal the flush valve, leading to wasted water and higher bills. - **Correct Replacement Steps Matter.** Properly choosing the right flapper, turning off the water, installing it correctly, and adjusting the chain are essential to ensure your toilet works efficiently after replacement. - **Professional Help is Available.** If you’re unsure or want a thorough inspection, Bonney Plumbing offers expert toilet repair and plumbing services in Sacramento, ensuring your toilet and drains are functioning safely and efficiently. ## What Are Toilet Flappers? Toilet flappers are the rubber seals you’ll find in a toilet’s tank. These flappers are designed to stop water from leaving the tank and cover the flush valve when you’re not flushing the toilet. When you flush the toilet, the handle lever will lift the flapper so that water can exit the tank via the flush valve and flow into the bowl. ## When Do You Need to Replace a Toilet Flapper? Occasionally, toilet flappers can break down or become damaged, leading to various toilet issues. One of the biggest signs you’ll need to replace your toilet flapper is when [your toilet won’t stop running](https://www.bonney.com/2021/09/toilet-repairs/). A major cause of toilets continuously running comes from toilet flappers that don’t properly seal the flush valve, as a lack of sealing will cause water to flow into the bowl consistently. If your toilet flapper doesn’t seal, you’ll need to replace it. Usually, toilet flappers won’t properly seal due to damage from chlorine and other chemicals, bacteria growth, for age. All of these potential dangers can cause your flapper to not fit around the flush valve or have cracks in it. Since damaged toilet flappers allow water to flow into your toilet bowl constantly, not fixing them can cause you to waste water, receive higher water bills, and have less water pressure when you actually need to flush the toilet. ## How to Replace a Toilet Flapper If you want to avoid higher water bills and keep your toilet running at its best, you’ll likely want to know how to replace a damaged flapper. Luckily, this sort of replacement is usually fairly easy. However, you’ll want to follow a few steps to ensure you select a toilet flapper that fits on your flush valve and will perform well over time. Review the main steps for replacing a toilet flapper below: - **Find the appropriate replacement flapper:** You can find a few different flappers on the market, so it’s important you pick the right one for your toilet. Since most toilets need either two-inch or three-inch flappers, you’ll want to measure your damaged flapper to determine the size you need. Besides looking for the right size, you’ll also want to select one featuring the same connection points as your old one. - **Turn off the water:** Begin by shutting off your toilet’s water. You can cut off the water by rotating the toilet’s shutoff valve, usually found on the toilet’s water supply line. After turning off the water, flush the toilet until most of the water is out of the tank. - **Remove your old flapper:** Next, you’ll remove your old flapper. Start by disconnecting the flapper handle lever from your flapper chain. After your chain is disconnected, remove the flappers’ side ears from the flush valve tube’s pegs and place the old flapper aside. If you have a hard plastic flapper, the ears will snap off, while soft rubber flappers will simply slide off. - **Ready the new flapper:** When your toilet’s flush valve tube has the flappers connected to pegs on its side, use a pair of strong scissors to cut off your new flapper’s ring. You can usually find this ring on the flapper’s back, but keep in mind that some flappers won’t come with a ring. If your toilet has a flush valve without side pegs, don’t cut off the ring on your new flapper, as this ring allows you to slide the flapper over the toilet’s overflow tube. - **Install flapper:** If your flush valve has pegs on its sides, hook the flapper’s ears onto the pegs. For flush valves without pegs, you can simply slip the flapper over the flush valve. - **Adjust chain:** With the flapper securely placed over the flush valve, connect the flapper’s chain to the handle lever. You may need to adjust the chain, as you need it to have a little bit of slack when it’s in a resting position. If the chain is too tight, it won’t allow the flapper to close all the way, and if it’s too loose, it can stop your flapper from fully sealing. Keep adjusting the chain’s slack until you find a good middle ground. - **Test new flapper:** With your new flapper installed, turn your water back on. After your toilet has water again, let the tank fill up before you flush the toilet a couple of times. While you flush the toilet, make sure the flapper moves up and down. Also, check that there isn’t water continuing to flow into your toilet bowl after the flapper closes over the shutoff valve. With the checks completed, you’ll have successfully completed the toilet flapper replacement processes. ## Choose Bonney for Sacramento Plumbing Services If you need toilet repair in Sacramento, turn to Bonney.

While DIY drain cleaning solutions can be tempting, they can harm your health and your pipes. If your drains are showing any of the [main signs you need drain cleaning services](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/signs-you-need-drain-cleaning-services/), such as odors, bubbling noises, water backups, or slow draining, take a moment to review the top six reasons to choose local drain cleaning services. ## 1. Professional Drain Cleaning Ensures the Job Is Done Right Though you can find various drain cleaners at hardware stores, they tend to be ineffective. Even when a cleaner gets your drains flowing again, it will probably leave debris behind, making it more likely you’ll have another clog in the near future. Alongside being ineffective, store-bought cleaners and tools can damage your pipes, especially if they contain sulfuric or hydrochloric acid. Professional drain cleaning services protect you from ineffective cleaners and pipe damage, as drain technicians have the expertise and tools to clean your drains right. ## 2. DIY Drain Cleaning Can Be Dangerous While you might be tempted to clean your drains yourself, it can harm yourself and anyone who lives with you. Many chemical drain cleaners you can find in stores can be dangerous, with improper use potentially leading to serious injury. Besides injuring yourself, having to store hazardous drain cleaners at your home could lead to a pet or child ingesting them. A professional cleaner will know how to safely clean and clear your drains, ensuring they don’t create any health hazards in your home. ## 3. Professionals Will Handle the Job Efficiently When you turn to a professional for drain cleaning services, you can expect the job to be finished faster than if you tried to do it yourself. Unlike the average person, professional drain cleaners have specialized equipment, tools, and supplies designed to clean drains quickly and correctly. Since many drain technicians use a specialized camera to find the source of a clog, they can also identify the issue and solution faster than if you tried to solve a drainage issue through guesswork. ## 4. Professional Drain Cleaning Services Can Improve Your Pipes’ Health and Lengthen Their Life Over time, grease, chemicals, and a variety of other materials can build up in your pipes and cause corrosion. This corrosion can lead to leaks that damage your home and require costly repairs. A professional drain technician can remove buildup that causes corrosion or severe clogs, preventing leaks and other issues. Due to the ways drain cleaning services improve your pipes’ health, many homeowners schedule routine drain cleanings to lengthen their piping system’s lifespan. ## 5. Professionals Can Catch Larger Issues Early Another reason to go with a professional is their ability to catch other issues while inspecting and cleaning your drains. Since a professional drain technician will have likely seen tons of different plumbing issues, they’ll notice if you have something else going wrong in your pipes during their inspection. For example, they might find small leaks or corrosion, tree root growth, or signs of aging. By catching these issues early, you can have them handled before they create a mess, require costly repairs, or damage your home. ## 6. Drain Cleaning Prevents Odors, Slow Draining, and Clogs When drains aren’t cleaned regularly, grime, hair, food, and other debris can accumulate in your drains and cause a few negative effects. For example, rotten foods, mold, and debris can all cause your drains to smell horrible. In addition to making your home smell bad, dirty drains can cause clogs to occur frequently and your water to drain slowly. Professional cleaning services prevent these negative effects by thoroughly washing out materials that cause odors and clogs. ## Choose Bonney for Professional Drain Cleaning Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for local drain cleaning services in Sacramento, Bonney has you covered.

By taking steps to conserve your water usage, you can help minimize the negative effects of drought, reduce water waste, and [cut the cost of your water bill](https://www.bonney.com/2020/07/water-conservation-savings/). Learn more about the ways you can save water with water conservation services. ## 1. Install a Custom Greywater System If you love working on your home’s landscaping or care for a garden on your property, you’ll likely use tons of water over the summer. Fortunately, you can save water while keeping your yard green and healthy by having a plumber install a [custom greywater system](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-conservation/) at your home. These systems are personalized to your property and decrease the amount of water that goes into your sewer system by repurposing water from showers, sinks, and washing machines for lawn care. ## 2. Fix Any Leaks Since the average family wastes over [9,400 gallons of water](https://www.epa.gov/watersense/statistics-and-facts) annually due to leaks, one of the best ways to conserve water is to find and fix any leaks in your home. A certified plumber can help you detect hard-to-spot leaks and repair any that they find coming from faucets, toilets, piping systems, or showers. Once they make their repairs, you’ll likely see a drop in water usage and lower water bills. ## 3. Invest in a Recirculation Pump A [recirculation pump](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-recirculation-pumps/) is a device designed to quickly heat your home’s water. By heating water faster, these pumps ensure you don’t have to wait around while your water for cleaning, cooking, or showering heats up. Since the average home can waste around [12,000 gallons of water a year](https://www.bonney.com/2015/05/water-conservation-why-it-doesnt-have-to-be-scary/) as users wait for hot water to arrive, a recirculation pump can do wonders for water conservation. Besides saving water, you’ll get the convenience of almost instant hot water! ## 4. Replace Old Plumbing Fixtures With Low-Flow Models Old, inefficient plumbing fixtures are another primary source of water waste. If you want to reduce water waste, having a plumber replace old plumbing fixtures with low-flow models for [toilets](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/toilets/), showerheads, and [faucets](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/faucets-sinks/) is an excellent choice. These low-flow fixtures use water far more efficiently and reduce water consumption. Though you might think a low-flow model will make it harder for your toilet to flush or harm the strength of your shower water pressure, they actually provide exceptional performance despite using far less water. ## 5. Schedule a Water Conservation Inspection While you can always check for water waste on your own, there’s a good chance you’ll only ever spot the most glaring issues. When you hire a professional plumber to perform a [water conservation inspection](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-conservation/), they’ll have the expertise necessary to find inefficient fixtures, leaks, and other less noticeable causes of water waste.

When your sewage system is showing [signs something is wrong with it](https://www.bonney.com/2018/04/signs-your-sewer-line-needs-repair/), such as frequent clogs, improper draining, nasty smells, or septic leakage, you may need to replace your pipes. Instead of choosing an [open trench sewer replacement](https://www.bonney.com/2022/06/3-kinds-of-sewer-solutions-which-is-right-for-you/), consider a trenchless sewer replacement for its non-invasive nature and many benefits. ## What Is Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement? A [trenchless sewer line replacement](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/trenchless-sewer-replacement-services/) refers to a service designed to replace damaged, old, and/or corroded sewer pipes by pulling a new pipe through your old line. This replacement technique is an alternative to the more traditional open trench sewer replacement, which requires a sewer technician to dig up your yard to remove the old pipe and replace it with a new one. Since this method doesn’t require extensive digging, it’s faster and much less invasive. ## When Do You Need Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Services? Trenchless pipe bursting is often a good choice when your pipes have extensive damage and a repair would be ineffective. Since this method will destroy your old pipes and allow you to conveniently replace them with new ones, it’s an excellent choice when your old sewage system is past the point of saving. However, a [trenchless sewer repair](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/trenchless-pipe-lining-sewer-repair/) is often a better choice when your pipes are only beginning to show wear. For example, trenchless repairs are often recommended when your pipes have subtle root intrusion or minor leaks and you want to extend their lifespan. With this method, a sewer professional will pull an epoxy-covered sleeve through your pipe, essentially creating another pipe within a pipe. ## The 4 Steps of a Trenchless Sewer Replacement If your sewer line needs replacement and you’re weighing your options, you should know how trenchless sewer replacement works. Learn more about the four steps of this sewer service below: ### 1. Sewer Line Inspection When you reach out to a professional to perform a trenchless sewer replacement, the first thing they’ll do is [find your sewer line](https://www.bonney.com/2022/01/locate-sewer-line/) and use a specialized camera to inspect it. After inserting the camera into your pipes, they’ll be able to determine how damaged your pipes are and if a trenchless sewer replacement is right for you. ### 2. Entry and Exit Point Digging If the inspection reveals you need a trenchless sewer replacement, the sewage professional will find the right entry and exit locations for your new pipes. Once they identify the best locations, they’ll dig small holes to reach these entry and exit points, ensuring they do as little damage to your yard as possible. ### 3. Pipe Heat Fusion Next, the sewage professional will melt multiple pipes together to create a larger pipe that matches the total length of your current sewer line. By fusing pipes together instead of using mechanical fittings, the new pipe won’t face corrosion issues that often occur when metal connectors are used. ### 4. Pipe Insertion With the new pipe ready, the sewer replacement professional will place a cable in your old pipe and then pull it through. After the cable is inserted, they’ll attach the new pipe and a 5-inch bursting cone to the cable and pull them through the old pipe. The bursting cone will break the older pipe and create a large enough pathway for the new pipe to pass through. Once they’ve pulled the pipe and bursting cone through, you’ll have a working sewage piping system again! ## What Are the Main Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Pipe Bursting? Trenchless sewer pipe bursting has several benefits that make it a better choice compared to traditional sewer line replacement services. Learn more about the main advantages of sewer line replacements below: - **Long-lasting:** Pipe bursting allows you to replace your old, corroded pipe with an incredibly durable new pipe. Since these new pipes are designed to last between 50 and 100 years, they’re an excellent long-term investment for your home. - **Non-invasive:** With a trenches sewer line replacement, you won’t have to worry about your yard being dug up. The sewer professional will only need to dig a couple of small holes, meaning your landscaping will look just as good when the replacement is completed. - **Relatively fast:** When compared to the time it takes to dig up a yard and replace a pipe, a trenchless sewer replacement is a much quicker option. Due to the trenchless method’s speed, you’ll have your sewer system working again much faster, removing much of the inconvenience of having to replace your pipes. - **Cost-effective:** A traditional method of pipe replacement requires a sewer technician to dig trenches through your yard and potentially your foundation and driveway. When the pipes are replaced, you’ll have to pay to fix your yard, and you’ll have to worry about expenses related to hiring a large crew that uses heavy machinery. In contrast, a trenchless sewer replacement requires a smaller crew, minimal digging, and less machinery, translating to a lower cost. ## Key Takeaways: - Trenchless replacement involves pulling a new pipe through the damaged one, using only small entry and exit excavations - The process typically includes camera inspection, digging minimal access holes, heat fusion of the replacement pipe, and bursting out the old pipe while inserting the new line - This method causes far less disruption, works faster, and often costs less (by avoiding extensive excavating and landscaping repair) - New pipes installed via trenchless methods often have a lifespan of 50 to 100 years due to modern, durable materials - It’s best suited when pipes are significantly damaged or beyond repair; for lighter issues, trenchless repair (liner insertion) may suffice instead of full replacement ## Choose Bonney for Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for sewer service near you in Sacramento, Bonney has you covered.

These longer heating times happen in the fall and winter, as the water coming into your water heater will be colder and your water heater will have to work harder to heat it. Since your water heater will have to expend more energy and run longer to heat your water, the fall is a perfect time to invest in a few water heater maintenance services. ## Why Is Fall a Good Time for Water Heater Services? If you’re still on the fence about whether you should invest in water heater services this fall, learn more about the top reasons why the fall is a good time for water heater services below: - **Maintenance can prepare the unit for the winter:** While your water heater will start working harder in the fall, it won’t need to combat the consistent, cold temperatures of the winter. As a result, the fall is a good time to have a professional plumber inspect your water heater and ensure it won’t struggle during the winter. - **Inspections can prevent unexpected breakdowns:** Almost no one wants to have to take a cold shower over the winter. By scheduling a water heater inspection and routine maintenance in the fall, you can lower the chances you have to go without hot water during the coldest months. With an inspection, you can ensure any needed water heater repairs or services are performed before they end up damaging your unit when you need warm water the most. - **Fall service gives you time to repair or replace your unit:** If your water heater needs to be repaired or replaced, it’s best to handle the issue in the fall. When you schedule water heater maintenance in the fall, you’ll give yourself time to repair your unit before the winter. Scheduling services for the fall also gives you time to choose the [right type of water heater for your home](https://www.bonney.com/2020/07/right-water-heater/) if you end up needing a full replacement. - **Professional advice can ensure safety:** To combat the winter cold, some homeowners like to turn their water heater’s thermostat up. However, setting the water heater’s thermostat too high can lead to scalding. Instead of adjusting the temperature yourself, a professional plumber can give you advice on how much higher you can safely set your water heater. If they determine that it’s safe to raise your water temperature, they can save you the hassle of changing the temperature by doing it for you. ## Top Fall Water Heater Services to Perform This Fall As you prepare for the winter, your water heater can likely benefit from a few water heater services. Find out more about the top water heater repair and maintenance services to schedule during the fall below: - **Water heater inspection:** A water heater inspection performed by a certified plumber is one of the easiest ways to determine whether your water heater is ready for the winter. With an inspection from a professional, you can verify that your water heater doesn’t require any work. As the plumber performs their inspection, they’ll check your water heater’s anode rod, the tank’s condition, the temperature it’s set to, its insulation, and a variety of other parts. - **Water heater flushes:** If your water heater has a tank, it should be flushed twice a year, as sediment and minerals can build up on the tank’s bottom. When this sediment isn’t flushed away, it can corrode your tank and make it more difficult for your water heater to perform at its best. Since water heater flushes are [recommended at least once a year](https://www.bonney.com/2016/05/does-your-water-heater-need-to-be-flushed/), scheduling one before the winter is an excellent choice. - **Water heater repairs:** Alongside a water heater flush and inspection, the fall is also a good time for any water heater repair services. Even if the repairs aren’t urgent, it’s a good idea to handle them now before the winter puts more strain on the water heater. Handling repairs early can also save you money, as small issues can often grow into larger, more costly ones if they’re not quickly addressed. ## Choose Bonney for Water Heater Service in Sacramento When you need water heater service near you in Sacramento, Bonney is ready to help.

Since tree roots can spread throughout your pipes and damage your entire plumbing system’s condition, it’s crucial they stay outside your sewer line. Find out more about why tree roots in your plumbing system are an issue and the five main signs you’ll want to watch out for. ## Key Takeaways: - **Tree roots can seriously damage sewer lines.** Roots can enter pipes through cracks or openings, grow inside, puncture pipes, cause blockages, and even lead to sewage backups or leaks in your yard. - **Early detection is crucial.** Homeowners should watch for signs like sinkholes, slow drains, foul smells, frequent toilet backups, and gurgling noises, as catching issues early can prevent major plumbing problems. - **Professional inspection and repair are necessary.** If any of these signs appear, a plumber can perform a camera inspection and remove roots before they cause extensive damage, protecting both your plumbing system and your yard. ## Why Are Tree Roots In A Sewer Line a Problem? When cracks or other openings develop in your sewer lines, tree roots can break through and enter your pipes. Once tree roots enter your sewer line, they’ll continue to grow inside it, as your sewage pipes provide a constant water source the roots will want more of. So while the water in your pipes will help a tree grow, it can also be a major problem. If tree roots in sewer lines go unchecked, they can damage your sewer lines and cause various plumbing issues. For example, tree root growth can further damage your pipes, as the roots can puncture through other parts of the pipe. Since the tree roots will continue to grow inside your pipes and absorb water, they can also clog your pipes and impact drainage. If your sewer line has a full root blockage, the tree roots can even cause a sewage backup. Besides damaging your pipes and plumbing system, tree roots in your sewer line can also cause sewage leaks in your yard. This sewage leakage can cause nasty smells, standing water, and spongy grass. Due to the many problems associated with tree roots in sewer lines, any homeowner should be on the lookout for tree root growth. ## 5 Signs You Have Tree Roots In Your Sewer Line While you try to keep your sewage system in the best condition possible, you need to know how to spot the signs of tree root growth. Knowing the main signs of tree root growth in your sewer line can raise the chances of catching the issue early and taking action before major damage occurs. Review the following five main signs of tree roots in your sewer line below: ### 1) Sinkholes In Your Yard If you’ve noticed soft spots in your yard or you can see a sinkhole, you could have tree roots in your sewer line. When tree roots break through pipes, they can cause water to leak into your lawn. As this water leaks, it can create a dangerous sinkhole that could damage your home’s foundation. Due to how dangerous sinkholes can be, you should contact a plumber immediately if you notice unexplainable soft or wet spots in your yard. ### 2) Slow Draining Of Showers And Sinks Slow shower and sink drains are another major sign of tree roots in your [sewer lines.](https://www.bonney.com/2022/01/locate-sewer-line/) While tree roots grow inside the pipes, they’ll spread out and begin to [clog your drains](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/6-ways-prevent-pipe-clogs/), resulting in slower draining of sinks and showers. If you continue to notice slow draining, you’ll need a camera inspection from a plumber to see if tree roots are the issue. ### 3) Nasty Smells When tree roots clog your sewer lines, they can cause your home to smell bad, especially around drains. Since tree roots can harm your sewer lines and trap waste inside them, they can be the source of foul odors. A rotten egg smell or other nasty odor from your drains will likely only worsen as the tree roots grow, so you’ll need a plumber to check out your lines as quickly as possible. ### 4) Constant Toilet Backups If your toilet constantly backs up, you may have tree roots in your line. As tree roots grow in your pipes, they’ll trap waste, like toilet paper, and clog your toilet drains. When your toilet regularly clogs, a plumber can inspect your toilet to see if roots are the issue. ### 5) Gurgling Noises Block drains can produce a noticeable gurgling noise whenever you empty the sink or flush the toilet. The sound is caused by the water trying to travel through an obstacle in the drain. Whenever you hear such a sound in your drains, it is a sign of tree roots in the sewer line, so you’ll need a plumber to check out your lines as quickly as possible. ## Choose Bonney for Trenchless Sewer Line Services in Sacramento Bonney is here to serve you if you’re looking for [trenchless sewer repair or replacement](https://www.bonney.com/2022/08/a-guide-to-trenchless-sewer-line-replacement/) options near you in Sacramento.

When it’s cold outside, poorly insulated pipes can cause the water in your pipes to freeze and expand, leading to a burst pipe. Once this water thaws, it can leak out of the burst pipe and any other damaged pipes in your home. Since leaking water and burst pipes can create a huge mess and cause a lot of damage, it’s essential you know the top five ways to prevent pipe bursts and leaks in the winter. ## 1) Insulate Your Pipes One of the best ways to protect your pipes from freezing and bursting is by insulating your pipes. Typically, pipes can be covered with materials like fiberglass or insulation to keep them warm and stop cold weather from freezing the water inside. As you insulate your pipes, you’ll want to focus on insulating those in unheated areas, such as your attic or basement pipes. You’ll also want to cover those in exterior walls due to their closeness to the outdoors. Since pipes can be challenging to locate and insulating them can take some time, it’s often best to [turn to a seasoned plumber](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) to insulate them for you. A trained plumber can ensure that all your high-risk pipes are covered with the most effective insulation. While they insulate your pipes, they can also check for any existing leaks and repair them to ensure your piping system is in great shape and ready to handle the cold. ## 2) Keep Your Cabinets Open When it gets cold outside, you can easily protect your pipes by opening your kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors. If the temperature has dropped below freezing, closed cabinet doors trap cold air inside them, raising the risk of your pipes bursting. Fortunately, stopping cold air from getting trapped inside your cabinets is easy to fix. Opening up the cabinet doors in your kitchen and bathroom will allow warm air from your HVAC system to get inside. As a result, your pipes will stay warmer and will be far less likely to freeze. ## 3) Don’t Turn Down Your Thermostat at Night While turning your thermostat down at night can help you save money on your utility bills in the winter, it’s not recommended during a cold snap. If you turn your temperature down at night, you’ll raise the chance that your pipes will freeze. So instead of turning down your thermostat, keep it at a [consistent temperature during the day and night](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/thermostat-settings/) until the cold snap ends. ## 4) Add More Insulation to Your Home Another way to prevent pipe bursts is to add more insulation to non-heated parts of your home. For example, pipes in crawl spaces, garages, basements, and attics are at a higher risk of freezing, as these areas aren’t typically heated. While insulating your pipes in these areas is essential, you can improve their protection by adding insulation to the areas themselves. Insulating unheated areas will protect your pipes from freezing temperatures, as insulation stops cold air from entering your home and hot air from exiting it. Alongside protecting your pipes, more insulation in your home will help your HVAC system run more efficiently and reduce your heating bills. ## 5) Repair Any Pipe Leaks As Soon As Possible Before a cold snap, it’s crucial you prevent home leaks. While leaking pipes are a problem on their own, they’re especially dangerous during the winter, as the existing damage to the pipe could raise the risk of a pipe burst. Besides the danger of the pipe bursting, pipe leaks can increase your utility bills and cause water damage to your home. To prevent home leaks, you can schedule a professional repair by a trained plumber. A certified plumber can fix any existing leaks you might have noticed, and they can provide a full inspection of your piping system to [find any leaks](https://www.bonney.com/2020/10/plumbing-cold-weather-tips/) you might not have seen. A complete inspection can also reveal any potential clogs or other issues that might affect your piping system’s health, allowing you to stay ahead of problems and keep your pipes in excellent condition. ## Choose Bonney for Plumbing Service in California If you’re looking for plumbing services near you in California, Bonney can help.

While these minerals aren’t unhealthy to consume, high levels of them can damage your pipes and appliances, create nasty-smelling water, and make your dishes look chalky. Since home water filtrations systems can prevent damage to your plumbing system and provide cleaner water, it’s important you understand what they are and how they can help solve various issues caused by chemical imbalances and mineral build-up in your water. ## What Are Home Water Filtration Systems? Home water filtration systems refer to a system that cleans and filters the water that enters your home from your main water line. Homeowners often invest in these systems to prevent hard water from entering their homes, with a water softener or water conditioner often included in the system. Besides treating hard water, whole-home filtration systems will also remove various chemicals, such as fluoride and chlorine, that can be dangerous in high enough quantities and affect your water’s taste. A water softener uses an ion exchange to remove minerals that cause hard water. After removing these minerals, the water softener will replace them with salt to keep your water soft. As a result, water softeners transform hard water into soft water. In contrast to a water softener that removes minerals from hard water, a water conditioner will not remove hard water. Instead, it temporarily changes the [chemical composition of hardness particles](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-systems/) to prevent scale build-up that can damage your plumbing system. Since this method leaves the minerals in the water and doesn’t add salt, water conditioners can be an attractive option for those who need to watch their sodium intake or want to keep various healthy minerals in their drinking water. ## How to Check Your Water Sources When you think your home has hard water or other potentially damaging chemical imbalances, you should check your water source. One quick way to review the quality of your local drinking water is to examine your water supplier’s [annual drinking water quality report](http://usgs.gov/faqs/where-can-i-find-information-about-my-local-drinking-water-supply). You can also have a water treatment expert check your water’s hardness, iron levels, and pH levels to determine its quality. ## The 4 Reasons to Invest in a Whole Home Water Filtration System Since water filtration systems are designed to clean and treat your home’s water, they can provide [several benefits to homeowners](https://www.bonney.com/2017/05/benefits-home-water-filtration-system/). Let’s look at some of the top advantages of whole-home filtration systems. ### *Cleaner Water And Peace Of Mind* While your local municipal water system has to treat drinking water to some standards, sometimes contaminants like lead can make their way into the water they treat. Investing in a whole-home water filtration system means that any water you drink at home has been adequately filtered and won’t contain any dangerous chemicals or contaminants. It can also help your water taste better and remove any [nasty smells](https://www.bonney.com/2021/09/water-smells-bad/). ### *Improved Pipe Protection* Besides protecting you and your family from dangerous contaminants in drinking water, a whole-house filtration system will protect your pipes. Hard water can cause mineral build-up that harms your pipes and causes them to corrode faster. A home water filtration system that changes the chemical composition of hard water or turns it into soft water can better protect your pipes. This increased protection can help you save money in repair costs and keep your plumbing system in great shape for longer. ### *Healthier Hair And Skin* You might not expect it, but home water filtration systems can improve your skin and hair’s health. Unfiltered water often contains chlorine and other chemicals known to pull moisture from hair and skin. A home water filtration system will remove these chemicals, ensuring your skin and hair are properly moisturized after a shower. ### *Greater Lifespan Of Appliances* Your home likely has multiple appliances that rely on water, such as your dishwasher, washing machine, coffee maker, and shower. Unfiltered water can harm the lifespan of these appliances by causing extra mineral and rust build-up. With a whole home filtration system, your appliances are more likely to last longer, as they won’t have to use water that can damage them. ## Choose Bonney for Home Water Filtration System Installation in Sacramento If you’re interested in home water filtration system installation services near you in Sacramento, Bonney is here to serve you.

While garbage disposals add greater convenience and are fairly durable devices, they can run into problems like any other appliance. When something goes wrong with your garbage disposal, you can choose between a repair or replacement service. To ensure you know the right solution for your garbage disposal, take a moment to learn more about each of these services and how to know which one you need. ## What Are Garbage Disposal Repair Services? Garbage disposal repair services can range from removing clogs or fixing leaks to solving an electrical issue or swapping out a broken part. While there’s a variety of garbage disposal repair services, they all aim to get your garbage disposal back up and running without replacing your entire unit. Since garbage disposal repairs can be potentially dangerous, it’s best to have a trained plumber inspect your unit and provide any needed repairs to keep you out of harm’s way. ## What Are Garbage Disposal Replacement Services? As you might expect from the name, garbage disposal replacement services involve replacing an old, malfunctioning garbage disposal with a new model. Typically, a trained plumber will remove your old garbage disposal after an inspection finds that it no longer works and is past the point of repair. Once they’ve removed the old garbage disposal, they can help you select a new model and safely install it. Like garbage disposal repairs, replacing a garbage disposal can be dangerous, so it’s best to leave the work to a professional. ## How to Know When to Repair or Replace Your Garbage Disposal If your garbage disposal is leaking, making odd noises, not grinding up food particles properly, or not turning on, you probably need garbage disposal services. You can often tell whether you’ll need a plumber to repair or replace your garbage disposal by knowing about the most common problems that garbage disposals face and their severity. Learn more about these problems and their solutions below: ## 1. Your Garbage Disposal Leaks When water leaks from your garbage disposal, the problem could be due to a few issues that range in severity. For example, your garbage disposal’s bolts could be loose, meaning a plumber only needs to tighten them to fix the issue. If the mounting bolts aren’t the problem, you could have an issue with a malfunctioning seal. In this case, a plumber will need to replace the seal to stop the leakage. Though you can often repair a garbage disposal that simply needs a bolt tightened or a seal swapped out, the whole unit will likely need to be replaced if an inspection reveals cracks. These cracks often appear as a garbage disposal ages and are a major sign that it’s time to replace your existing unit. ## 2. Your Garbage Disposal Jams or Clogs A jammed garbage disposal is another common problem that garbage disposals can run into. Usually, a jam or clog is due to someone throwing hard-to-grind foods or objects down the drain. A drain cleaning from a plumber can usually solve a clogged or jammed garbage disposal, making it one of the easiest-to-fix issues. You can avoid jams in the future by not putting [dangerous foods down your garbage disposal](https://www.bonney.com/blog/dont-put-foods-garbage-disposal/), such as seeds, pits, coffee grounds, stringy vegetables, potato peels, grease, oil, bones, pasta, or egg shells. While jams can typically be prevented by not sending these foods down your sink’s drain, you might want to consider replacing your unit if it constantly clogs, especially when you’re avoiding putting hard-to-grind foods down the drain. A consistently clogged garbage disposal likely means your blades have gone dull, and you’ll need to replace the entire unit. ## 3. Your Garbage Disposal Won’t Turn On If your garbage disposal won’t turn on, it’s likely an electrical issue. Sometimes, you may simply need to plug it back in, reset it, or check the circuit breaker to get it to turn on again. When those options don’t work, you’ll need a professional to check the writing and look for other issues you might not be able to notice. Depending on the source of the issue with your garbage disposal, you may need to repair or replace it. ## 4. Your Garbage Is Loud But Won’t Grind Up Food Sometimes, garbage disposals will make a loud humming noise but won’t actually grind up the food you send down the drain. Since the humming noise means your unit is still receiving power, your garbage disposal probably has a dead motor. While you’ll usually need to replace the entire garbage disposal if the motor dies, a repair may be possible if a plumber finds solid objects or foods stuck between the shredder ring and impeller. ## Choose Bonney for Garbage Disposal Service Near You in Sacramento If you’re looking for garbage disposal repair near you in Sacramento, Bonney has you covered.

If a natural gas leak occurs in your home, it can cause explosions, fires, death, and health problems, such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and a loss of consciousness. If you suspect you have a gas line leak, you should immediately evacuate and call 911. Due to the dangers of natural gas leaks, you should know the main signs of them and the four steps you should follow if you suspect one has occurred. ## What Are the Signs of Natural Gas Leaks? Since natural gas leaks are dangerous, it’s important to know how to detect them in the first place. To ensure you can detect a gas leak as soon as it starts, review the main signs of gas line leaks below: - **You smell rotten eggs:** Though natural gas is odorless, gas companies add chemicals to their gas that make it smell like rotting eggs or sulfur. These chemicals make it so people can detect natural gas leaks. As a result, you should leave your home immediately if you can smell sulfur or rotting eggs. - **You notice air bubbles outside your home:** A less obvious sign of natural gas leaks is air bubbles appearing in standing water outside your home. When a gas line leak comes from your underground pipes, it can cause air bubbles to form in puddles and other bodies of standing water above the pipes. - **You’re experiencing natural gas poisoning symptoms:** When your home has a minor gas leak, the low levels of natural gas may cause symptoms like irregular breathing, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea. When a gas leak causes high levels of natural gas in your home, your symptoms may include memory problems, loss of consciousness, nausea, difficulty concentrating, suffocation, and severe headaches. - **Your gas-based appliances or pipes make hissing noises:** Another common sign of a natural gas leak is a hissing noise. Major gas leaks will usually cause your gas-based appliances or pipes to hiss. If you can hear hissing coming from your pipes or appliances, especially if the appliances are turned off, you could have a gas line leak. ## 4 Steps to Follow During a Natural Gas Leak If you’ve noticed any of the signs above, you may have a gas leak in your home. Instead of writing off the signs and going about your life, it’s best to play it safe for your health and the health of anyone else who lives with you. When you suspect you might have a gas leak, follow the steps below: ### 1. Leave Your Home Immediately Never try to fix a gas leak by yourself. Since trying to solve the issue yourself can put you at greater risk, the first thing you should do is get everyone outside your home immediately. By leaving your home, you’ll lower the risk of explosions, fire, and worsening health issues affecting you and your family. Be sure to call emergency services after evacuating. ### 2. Open Windows and Doors As you exit your home, you’ll want to leave your windows and doors open. Opening up your windows and doors will allow the leaking gas to escape and reduce the amount of gas build-up in your home. This reduction in gas build-up will lower the chance of fire or explosions, but it won’t make your home safe to reenter. ### 3. Report the Potential Gas Leak to the Appropriate Authorities Once you’ve gotten everyone out of your home and left your windows and doors open, you should call the authorities. Typically, you’ll want to call 911, but you might also contact your state’s natural gas emergency line or your local fire department. Next, a certified inspector will safely determine if your home has a gas line leak, cut off the gas supply with your gas shutoff valve, and recommend the next steps. ### 4. Contact a Trained Technician to Repair the Gas Leak Once emergency services have shut off your gas lines, you’ll want to [contact a plumber](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/gas-line-repair/) who’s trained to handle natural gas line leaks. This plumber should be able to detect where exactly the leak is occurring and solve it for you. Once they repair the gas leak and tell you that your house is safe, you can return home. Here at Bonney, we know that a gas line leak can be a scary and disorienting experience.

Since the Sacramento area regularly struggles with droughts, you’ll often have to decide between wasting water or letting your plants die in the spring and summer. Fortunately, greywater systems let you have the best of both worlds, as they help you save water while keeping your yard and plants watered. ## What Are Greywater Systems?` Greywater refers to water that’s been previously used for a variety of washing applications, such as showering, bathing, and handwashing. A [greywater system](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-conservation/) recycles this water by redirecting it to your yard to irrigate your lawn or water your garden. Typically, home greywater systems use piping and gravity to redirect greywater from sinks or showers to an irrigation system, meaning they usually don’t rely on pumps or complicated machinery. ## Why Is a Greywater System a Great Water-Saving Investment for the Spring? Due to the simplicity of greywater systems and their usefulness, they have several advantages. If you’re interested in installing one of these systems at your home this spring, learn more about the benefits of custom greywater systems below: ### 1. Greywater Systems Cut Down on Wasted Water While saving water is important in most areas of the country, it’s especially crucial in drought-prone regions and those with a drier climate. Since water conservation is a priority in Sacramento, and you can [receive fines for wasting water](http://www.cityofsacramento.org/drought), greywater systems are an excellent way to keep your yard green without the risk of excess water usage. By reusing greywater from your shower and bath, you can potentially save thousands of gallons of water a year. ### 2. Greywater Systems Reduce Energy Usage You might not think of it much, but using fresh water at your home also expends energy. For example, when you water your yard or plants with fresh water, your home uses energy to pump more water in. Greywater systems reduce this energy usage by lowering the amount of fresh water you need for your plants or yard. This reduction in energy usage translates to lower energy bills and a more climate-friendly home. ### 3. Greywater Systems Save You Money Since greywater systems reduce your water and energy consumption, they can also save you money. Over time, this reduction in utility bills can result in your greywater system paying for itself. These extra savings make greywater systems a smart investment for many homeowners, regardless of whether they’re worried about water conservation or not. ### 4. Greywater Systems Are Customizable When you receive greywater system installation services, you can [customize the system to your needs](https://www.bonney.com/2022/08/5-ways-to-conserve-water-at-home-this-summer/). Due to these systems’ customizability, you can ensure you’re only reusing water from sources you trust and that the water you recycle goes exactly where you want it to go. In addition, the ability to personalize these systems means you can work with a trained plumber to install a greywater system that meets your exact goals. ### 5. Greywater Is Safe and Even Beneficial for Plants While you wouldn’t want to drink greywater, it’s safe for your plants. Unlike water that would come out of our hose, greywater often contains hair, food, dirt, and grease that will serve as a fertilizer for your plants, making it a more beneficial option for many plants than standard water. Keep in mind that if you use greywater for a vegetable garden, you’ll want to make sure the greywater doesn’t come into contact with an edible portion of the vegetable. ## Choose Bonney for Greywater System Installation Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for greywater system installation or repair near you in Sacramento, Bonney has you covered. As a provider of custom greywater systems, we can install a greywater system on your property that’s personalized to your home and yard’s needs.

However, the recent storms and winter precipitation has ended these conditions, and experts expect drought conditions to [continue to improve this spring](https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/spring-outlook-california-drought-cut-by-half-with-more-relief-to-come). While the end of the drought is welcome news to many in Sacramento, it could put your home’s plumbing under increased strain and cause some issues. If you’re interested in learning more about drought and plumbing systems in Sacramento, review our guide on how the end of the California drought might impact your home’s plumbing. ## How Does The Drought Ending Affect a Home’s Plumbing System? When a drought in California ends, it’s usually great news for the environment and residents. However, it can negatively affect your home’s plumbing system—particularly your sewer lines and pipes. Learn more about the two main effects the end of drought can have on a Sacramento resident’s plumbing system below: ### Greater Pressure on Potentially Corroded Sewer Lines During the long drought season in California, many homeowners followed state recommendations to conserve water. When you save water during a drought, you’ll have less wastewater flowing through your sewer pipes. Over time, the lack of wastewater and other drought conditions can cause your sewer line to corrode. With the drought ending, corroded lines will now have more wastewater to transport from your home. If your sewer line corroded during the drought, this uptick in wastewater could put too much pressure on the lines, resulting in cracks and leaks. A [sewer line inspection](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/) from a trained plumber can help homeowners know if their lines have corroded and take action before a costly sewage issue occurs. ### Higher Chance of Foundation Changes and Pipe Leaks Alongside causing sewer lines to corrode, drought conditions can also impact your home’s foundation. If your home is built on top of expansive soil (usually soil that’s mostly clay), drought conditions can cause the soil to shrink, resulting in changes to your home’s foundation. After a drought, rain and other wet conditions can cause the soil to expand, which can affect your foundation too. Since Sacramento has [many areas with expansive soil](http://www.cityofsacramento.org/community-development/building/plan-review/design-criteria), your home’s foundation could be affected by the end of the drought. A change in your home’s foundation can cause several problems, including issues with your plumbing system. As your foundation changes, it can break pipes and severely impact your plumbing system’s ability to carry water into your home and waste out of it. If your home shows signs of foundation issues, such as sloping floors, unaligned windows, or wall and siding cracks, you’ll likely want a plumber to inspect your pipes to see if they’ve been affected. ## How Can Plumbing Service Prepare Your Home for the End of the Drought? Due to the potential strains on your home’s plumbing system that the end of the drought can create, most homeowners can likely benefit from plumbing services. As you start to use more water in your home, one of the best things you can do for your plumbing system is to have it inspected. At Bonney, our certified plumbers can provide a full inspection of your sewer lines and pipes with specialized drain cameras. If we find that your plumbing system has corrosion or leaks, our team can usually solve the problem with a [trenchless repair option](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/). With a trenchless repair, we’ll simply insert an industrial-grade slave saturated in epoxy into your pipes or lines, effectively creating a pipe within a pipe. This method of repair ensures we don’t have to dig up your yard and can complete the repair faster. ## Choose Bonney for Plumbing Service Near You in Sacramento If you’re looking for drought and plumbing services in Sacramento, Bonney can help.

This underground pipe removes all the wastewater from your home and takes it to your local sewage plants. Unfortunately, if this sewer line breaks, you can have a serious mess on your hands. Damaged sewer lines can leak sewage into your home, raise energy bills, damage property, and cause health problems. Since a sewer line breaking can be a headache to fix and cost a lot of money, it’s a good idea to know the main signs that your sewer line is starting to break so you can take action fast before the problem gets worse. ## Key Takeaways: - **Watch for unusual lawn conditions.** Greener or soggier patches in your yard can indicate sewage leaks, which act as fertilizer and can lead to sinkholes or attract pests. - **Notice odors and slow drains.** Sewer gas smells or multiple slow or clogged drains throughout your home are strong indicators that your sewer line may be breaking or blocked. - **Be alert to pests.** Rodent and insect infestations inside your home can signal cracks in your sewer line, as these pests are attracted to leaking sewage and can reveal hidden damage. ## 1. Parts of Your Lawn Are Much Greener or Soggier Than Others One of the surest signs you have an issue with your sewage system is if you notice that parts of your lawn are suddenly much greener than others. When sewage leaks from your line, it will act as a fertilizer—making parts of your yard look more green and lush. Besides making your yard greener, a cracked sewer pipe can cause enough leakage to make parts of your yard feel soggier than others. Typically, these areas of your yard will also have a foul smell. Over time, this sogginess can cause your yard to develop a sinkhole, which can be dangerous. Additionally, a leaking sewage line can attract rodents and pests. Therefore, whenever you notice greener or soggier areas of your yard, you should contact a sewer technician immediately to [inspect your sewer line](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/). ## 2. You Can Smell Sewer Gas Coming From Your Drains Typically, you shouldn’t have any strange smells from your drains. However, if you can smell a sewer-like odor similar to rotten eggs coming from your drains, you likely have a cracked, clogged, or leaking drain pipe, allowing toxic sewer gas to enter your home. Since this sewer gas can cause health problems, such as dizziness, nausea, and fatigue, it’s important to hire a sewer line technician to [inspect your sewer line](https://www.bonney.com/2017/06/importance-sewer-inspection/) as soon as possible. ## 3. You Have Multiple Slow or Clogged Drains Another primary sign your sewer line is breaking is if you have slow drains throughout your home. While one slow drain is usually due to a simple clog, multiple slow drains are a clear sign that your sewer line has a blockage that will only worsen with time. With [sewer cleaning services](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) from a trained plumber, you can potentially remove this blockage before it significantly damages your sewer line. However, if the clog is due to [tree roots growing in your line](https://www.bonney.com/2023/01/how-do-i-know-if-i-have-tree-roots-in-my-sewer-line/), you’ll likely need trenchless sewer repair services to solve the issue. Alongside slow drains, completely clogged drains are a major sign you have an issue with your sewer line too. Though a single clogged drain doesn’t often mean you have a sewer line issue, you’ll need to contact a plumbing professional if multiple drains are clogged. Multiple clogged drains indicate a problem somewhere down your line, and they can even cause sewage to spill on your floor. A professional inspection can find the source of the issue and prevent the clogs from worsening. ## 4. Your Home Suddenly Has a Rodent and Insect Infestation When a sewer line starts to break, cracks often open up in your line and drain pipes.

Well, you live in that world now. With trenchless sewer repairs, you can solve sewer line issues without digging up your yard, saving you time and money. In this article, we’ll look at how trenchless sewer line repairs work and why they might be the best option for any sewer work you need. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/bonney-technicians-truck.jpg) ## What Is Trenchless Sewer Line Repair? This technique is often called “no-dig sewer repair.” If you’ve ever experienced A sewer blockage, backup, or leak on your property, then you understand how costly this issue can be. Technicians come out and begin digging trenches to access the sewer lines. This destructive process takes a lot of hard work and time to complete. In contrast, trenchless sewer repairs take an entirely different approach. When there’s a problem with one of the pipelines, there’s no digging required to repair or replace it. You’re probably wondering how that’s possible. Before the sewer technicians get to work, a powerful camera is sent down the line to evaluate the damage and determine the best course of action. Once they evaluate the problem, you’ll have one of two options to fix the problem: pipe bursting or pipelining. As you consider receiving a trenchless pipe repair, learn more about each of these services below: ### Pipe Bursting Explained After the camera is sent down and pipe bursting is chosen as the method to be used, only two pits are dug – each at opposite ends of the pipe. Then, a bursting head is placed inside the existing pipeline. The pipeline is then burst, or broken, from the inside. The great part is the new pipe is attached to the device sent down by the technicians, and it immediately replaces the old sewer line. High-density polyethylene is used to make newer, flexible pipes, which keeps the process simple. Since this process replaces all of the existing pipeline, it’s often called a trenchless sewer replacement. ### Pipe Lining Explained Think of pipe lining as dipping a sock in sticky glue before placing it inside the sewer line. The intent is to give the old pipe a new lining. In order to seal the new liner to the old pipe, it’s inflated. The next step is to cure the lining so it hardens. Steam or UV light is used to complete the curing process. Typically, you’ll want the new lining to be coated in epoxy, as this material cures well and is durable. After a few hours of curing, the old pipe has a new lining. Once the service is completed, you’ll have a new pipe within your old pipes, allowing you to safely use your sewer system again. Generally, trenchless pipe lining is a great option when you don’t have to replace your whole pipe and only need to fix a damaged section of it. ## Why Are Trenchless Sewer Repairs in Sacramento a Good Option? Trenchless sewer repairs in Sacramento are often needed due to the local environment and state regulations. For example, a common problem the City of Trees sewage system deals with is root intrusion, as roots can damage your pipes and even grow inside your sewer lines. Additionally, some state regulations surrounding low-flow fixtures can contribute to poor sewer performance. These water conservation devices can cause trouble for drainage and sewage systems. Since Sacramento is more at risk for sewer line damages, trenchless sewer repairs are essential for the city. This service allows businesses and homeowners to fix their sewer system quickly and are much less expensive than open-trench repairs. Due to the higher risk of sewer issues, we recommend [scheduling regular sewer inspections](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/) to catch problems early. ## Why Should I Use Trenchless Sewer Repair? One reason trenchless repairs are preferred is they make hard-to-reach sewer lines accessible. Eco-friendly individuals will also like this process since no contaminants are used during pipe bursting. Another advantage is that little to no damage will affect the home’s exterior. Not to mention, your soil and vegetation are virtually unaffected by the repair. This discreet method of repair lets you return to normalcy in no time. Using this method also helps save money. Costs are based on the complexity of the situation, with a trenchless repair’s price taking into account the damage, size, shape, and location of the sewer line. Regardless of the problem’s scope, a trenchless repair is almost always more affordable. For example, digging requires more equipment and labor, resulting in open trench repairs costing much more than trenchless alternatives. ## Choose Bonney for Trenchless Sewer Repairs in Sacramento If you’re looking for trenchless sewer repair near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, look no further than Bonney.

From increased soil saturation to the greater potential for sewer line backups, the rainy season poses unique threats to your home’s plumbing. Instead of letting heavy rain get the best of your plumbing system, you can get ahead of the issue before you’ve got your hands full with a full-blown plumbing crisis! If you want to prepare your plumbing system for Northern California’s wet season, learn more about the main signs you need plumbing service before heavy rains, the causes of sewer line backups, and the proactive steps that you can take to ensure your plumbing system is all set to take on the rain. ## 8 Signs You Need Plumbing Service Before Heavy Rains One of the most common problems during the rainy season is sewer line backups. Heavy rainfall can be highly detrimental to sewer systems, causing backups that can lead to massive amounts of damage to your home. If you notice any of the following signs of plumbing problems, you’ll want to contact a plumber immediately to solve the issue before heavy rains make it worse: - Bad Smells & Odors - Overflowing Sinks & Toilets - Gurgling Noises - Slow Draining - Mold & Mildew Growth - Sinkhole Formation - Insect Activity - Signs of Structural Damage ## What Are the Main Causes of Plumbing Disasters During Heavy Rainfall? As you prepare your sewer line for heavy rains, you’ll need to know the leading causes of sewer line backups and other plumbing issues so you can avoid them and take steps to address them. Some of the leading causes of sewer line backups and plumbing emergencies during heavy rainfall include: 1\. Tree Root Intrusion and Blockages in Your Sewer Line While the lush vegetation of Northern California is beautiful and a huge benefit to living here, it can also be a hazard for your sewer line. Tree roots naturally seek out water sources and can potentially invade cracked sewer lines. Once tree roots make their way into your sewer lines, they’ll continue to grow, causing blockages. If heavy rain occurs, these blockages can cause wastewater to overflow into your home rather than pass through the line. 2\. Foundational Risks Caused by Soil Saturation Northern California’s soil composition can change drastically during heavy rainfall, leading to soil saturation and potential foundation shifts. Foundation shifts can impact your home’s plumbing, causing pipes to shift, crack, or become misaligned. If your home’s foundation isn’t prepared to handle soil saturation, you could have major issues with your sewer system during rainfall. 3\. A Lack of Preventative Maintenance If you don’t currently schedule annual inspections of your plumbing system, it’s much more likely you’ll experience a plumbing emergency and blockages during heavy rainfall. For example, you might not know that your plumbing system has cracked pipes, tree roots growing inside your sewer line, or clogs in your pipes. When heavy rainfall occurs, these issues will make it so your plumbing system can’t handle the excess rain, resulting in a plumbing disaster. ## Proactive Plumbing Maintenance Steps Homeowners Can Take Before Heavy Rains Whether it’s scheduling regular plumbing inspections or performing gutter maintenance, you can take steps to ensure you don’t fall victim to Northern California’s rainy season. Learn more about our top preventive plumbing maintenance tips below: 1\. Schedule Regular Plumbing Maintenance and Inspections Regular plumbing inspections, especially before the rainy season starts, are a surefire way to set your mind at ease when it comes to problems that may arise with your sewer line. After the inspection, a plumber can perform various plumbing services to address any issues they find. Regular plumbing inspections are especially important if your sewer lines are near large amounts of vegetation, as the plumber can check that tree roots aren’t growing in your sewer lines. If the inspection reveals any clogs or blockages, a qualified technician can assess your sewer line and perform tasks [like hydro-jetting](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/hydro-jetter/) to clear out any debris that has built up and could potentially cause a blockage. For tree root intrusion, the plumber will need to clear the tree roots and perform a [trenchless sewer repair or replacement service](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/) to prevent the issue from reoccurring. 2\. Take Time to Clear Your Gutters Properly functioning gutters direct rainwater away from your home’s foundation, reducing the risk of soil saturation and foundational issues. Making sure that your home’s gutters are clean of debris, leaves, and other potential obstructions will drastically reduce the risk of divergent rainwater. 3\. Review Your Landscaping’s Ability to Divert Rainwater Proper grading and drainage systems can prevent water from pooling near your home. Substantial amounts of gathered water in your yard or on your property can lead to things like sinkholes. Speaking with a professional about any problems early will be much cheaper in the long run than dealing with the issues sinkholes can cause. 4\. Check for Foundational Issues Caused by Soil Saturation It’s a good idea to regularly inspect your property and make sure there have not been any damages to your foundation. If you’re not positive about your foundation’s strength or how well it was designed for soil saturation, you can contact a plumber to inspect your property and give you advice on how to fix issues related to soil saturation. 5\. Know Where Your Sewer Line Cleanouts Are Located In the event of a backup, it is important to make sure that your property has easily accessible sewer line cleanouts. Sewer line cleanouts are spots on your property where the sewer line can be directly accessed from above. During a plumbing inspection, you can work with a professional plumber to identify and mark the locations of these access points on your property. Knowing where these cleanouts are can help you solve plumbing issues faster, as you’ll be able to point a maintenance technician to them as quickly as possible. ## Choose Bonney for Plumbing Service and Maintenance in Sacramento If you’re concerned the rainy season could impact your plumbing and are looking for plumbing maintenance services in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, turn to Bonney.

Fortunately, technological advancements have revolutionized how we address pipe repairs, and one of the most innovative methods is trenchless pipe repair. In this blog, we’ll delve into trenchless pipe repair and how it works, offering homeowners a modern and efficient solution to plumbing challenges. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/trenchlesspiprepair.jpg) ## Understanding Trenchless Pipe Repair Trenchless pipe repair, also known as trenchless technology or no-dig technology, is a cutting-edge approach designed to fix damaged or deteriorating pipes without the need for extensive excavation. Unlike traditional methods that involve digging large trenches to access and repair pipes, trenchless technology allows for repairs to be completed with minimal disruption to your landscaping. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Screenshot-2023-12-21-160440.jpg) ## How Trenchless Pipe Repair Works **Inspection and Assessment** The process typically begins with a thorough inspection of the affected pipe using advanced camera technology. This allows technicians to identify the nature and extent of the damage, pinpointing the precise location that requires repair. **Cleaning and Preparation** Before initiating repairs, the damaged pipe is cleaned and prepared. This involves removing any debris, sediment, or scale that may have accumulated over time. Clearing the pipe ensures that the repair process is conducted on a clean and stable surface. **Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Installation** Trenchless pipe repair uses Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) technology. A flexible resin-saturated lining is inserted into the damaged pipe through existing access points, such as cleanouts or small excavation points. The liner is then inflated, conforming to the shape of the existing pipe. **Curing Process** Once in place, the resin-saturated liner undergoes a curing process. This is typically achieved through the use of heat or UV light. The cured liner forms a strong and durable pipe within the existing one, effectively sealing cracks, fractures, or other defects. **Final Inspection** After the curing process is complete, a final inspection is performed to ensure a successful repair. The camera technology is employed once again to confirm that the new pipe lining is in place and functioning optimally.

Among these, the anode rod plays a vital role. This long metal rod inside your water heater’s tank is key to preventing corrosion and extending the lifespan of your heater. In this guide, we’ll delve into what the anode rod is, why it’s crucial for your water heater’s health, and how you can identify and address issues with it. By the end, you’ll understand: - What an Anode Rod Is - The Importance of the Anode Rod - Different Types of Water Heater Anode Rods - When It’s Time to Replace Your Anode Rod If you need professional help with your water heater’s anode rod, look no further than Bonney. We provide comprehensive water heater services designed to accommodate the busy schedules of homeowners like you. With our commitment to quality craftsmanship and superior customer service, we’ve earned the trust and loyalty of numerous homeowners. --- ## Schedule Expert Water Heater Services with Bonney Today At Bonney, we offer a wide selection of [water heater services](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) to meet your needs. Our hassle-free maintenance and services are designed for busy homeowners like you. Thanks to our unparalleled quality craftsmanship and excellent customer service, we’ve turned countless homeowners into happy repeat customers. Schedule your water heater repair with the Bonney team today! --- ## What Is an Anode Rod? An anode rod is a long metal rod located inside the tank of your water heater. It is designed to attract rust, corrosion, and mineral buildup, all of which occur naturally as your appliance ages. By drawing all of this corrosion, the anode rod “sacrifices” itself to protect the rest of the water heater’s tank. For this reason, the rod is commonly referred to as a sacrificial anode rod. While the rod rusts and corrodes, the rest of the tank remains unaffected, allowing it to resist damage and last longer. ## Why Is the Anode Rod Important? The anode rod plays an essential role in protecting your water heater tank from harm. By exposing itself to all the damage that would normally target the tank, the rod extends the life span of your water heater substantially. Another benefit of this is a decreased need for repairs. Because your water heater will corrode at a much slower rate and sustain less damage, it will likely experience fewer problems. As a result, you can end up saving a significant amount of money on repairs and replacements. ## Types of Water Heater Anode Rods Anode rods come in three different forms: magnesium, zinc, and aluminum. Here’s an overview of each type: **Magnesium:** Anode rods made out of magnesium are the most common type found in homes. However, magnesium corrodes faster than other materials, so magnesium rods are not ideal for homes that have hard water. **Aluminum:** This type of anode rod is known for its affordability and flexibility. These rods also last longer compared to their magnesium and zinc counterparts. Due to the durability of aluminum rods, they are better suited to homes with hard water. **Zinc:** Despite their name, zinc anode rods are not entirely composed of zinc. Instead, they are made with a combination of zinc and aluminum. The top benefit of zinc rods is that they are designed to resist odor-causing bacteria, which keeps unpleasant smells at bay in your home. ## When to Replace Your Water Heater’s Anode Rod ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Bonney-Anode-Rods.jpg) As a rule of thumb, we recommend replacing your water heater’s anode rod every three to five years. That said, it’s vital to assess the condition of your rod every now and then. Every anode rod is unique, and some may need to be replaced sooner than others. For example, if your home has hard water that accelerates the corrosion process, your rod may become damaged more quickly than usual. Use your judgment to determine when you need to schedule an upgrade. --- ## Enhance Your Water Heater’s Performance with Bonney At Bonney, we perform repairs seven days a week to ensure optimal convenience for homeowners like you.

Here are some effective strategies to help you pinpoint its location: ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Bonney-Sewer-Cleanout.jpg) - **Start with the cleanout:** The easiest reference point is the sewer cleanout, which allows direct access to the sewer line. Once you find the cleanout, you can typically trace the line leading to the street. If you’re unsure about identifying the cleanout, we’ll cover that in detail further below. - **Consult with neighbors:** Since sewer line placements often follow similar patterns within a neighborhood, your neighbors’ setups can provide valuable clues about your own. Don’t hesitate to ask around. - **Review property records:** Your local city or county records or building permits should have documentation on the sewer system installation. These records often include precise diagrams showing the location of the sewer line on your property. - **Consider a professional inspection:** A professional sewer line inspection can clarify the exact path from your house to the street. This method is especially useful if you suspect any issues or have complex landscaping. By following these tips, you’ll gain a better understanding of where your sewer line lies, which is essential for both routine maintenance and addressing any emergencies that may arise. ## How to Find Your Home’s Sewer Cleanout Your home’s sewer cleanout is a crucial part of your plumbing system. You’ll usually find it outside, about 1 to 3 feet from where your house meets the ground. Look for a pipe sticking up with a cap on top that might have a square knob or notch for turning. Sometimes, this cleanout pipe isn’t immediately visible because it’s inside a plastic box that’s slightly buried. If you’re having trouble spotting it, check for a small box on the ground that might be hiding it. ### When to Call a Professional Trying to find the sewer cleanout by yourself can be tricky, especially if you’re not sure what you’re looking for. If you’re unsure, call a professional plumber. They can find the cleanout quickly and check your sewer line to ensure everything is running smoothly. ### Dealing with Problems If you notice issues like sewage backing up into your home, it could mean there’s a blockage in your sewer line. Knowing where your cleanout is helps plumbers quickly get to the problem and fix it. If you run into these kinds of issues, it’s important to call a professional immediately to prevent damage to your home and fix the issue safely and efficiently. Understanding where your sewer cleanout is and knowing when to seek help from a professional can save you a lot of trouble and help keep your plumbing in good shape. ## The Benefits of Hiring a Professional It’s always best to hire a professional when it comes to major house issues, such as locating or performing maintenance or services on your sewer line. They have the knowledge, experience, and tools to get the job done correctly and quickly, and you get the peace of mind of dealing with a professional. --- ## Call Bonney to Schedule a Sewer Line Inspection or Service Today Whether you need to locate your sewer line to be able to sell your house or because you’re experiencing sewer issues, the team at Bonney is here to help.

However, spring also challenges homeowners in Sacramento, especially in your sewer system. The changing weather, increased rainfall, and tree growth can all contribute to sewer problems. Bonney provides top-notch plumbing services, including sewer inspections, maintenance, and repairs in the greater Sacramento area. Let’s explore the most common spring sewer problems for homeowners and how to prevent them. ## 1. Clogged Drain Lines Springtime often means a surge in home cleaning activities. Whether you’re tackling spring cleaning, decluttering, or doing a deep clean after a long, cold winter, the extra debris and waste can lead to clogged drains. Soap scum, hair, dirt, and even food particles can build up in the pipes over time, leading to blockages. This concern is common in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry room drains. While occasional small clogs can often be resolved with a plunger or drain cleaner, persistent or severe blockages require professional attention. Over time, clogged drains can lead to blockages, sewage backups, and pipe damage. ## 2. Tree Root Intrusion on Sewer Pipes [Tree root intrusion](https://www.bonney.com/blog/how-do-i-know-if-i-have-tree-roots-in-my-sewer-line/) is a prominent spring sewer threat — especially in tree-heavy cities like Sacramento. While tree root intrusion can strike in almost any season, spring’s combination of increased rainfall and warmer weather encourages trees to grow quickly, and their roots search for water. If you have older or poorly maintained sewer lines, these roots can break into your pipes. Over time, tree roots create blockages, cracks, and even pipe collapses. Tree roots are one of the leading causes of sewer line damage, and they can lead to costly repairs if not caught early. Homeowners should regularly inspect areas where tree roots are close to the sewer system, especially if you’ve noticed a change in the drainage rate or unusual sounds from your pipes. ## 3. Increased Spring Rainwater and Plumbing Problems Sacramento is known for its seasonal rainstorms, especially in spring. While rain is essential for maintaining healthy lawns and gardens, it can also stress your sewer system. Excess water can overwhelm the drains and pipes, potentially causing flooding in basements, crawlspaces, or areas where the sewer line is poorly maintained. This concern is particularly problematic if your home’s sewer system is outdated or has any existing damage. To avoid flooding, homeowners should ensure their downspouts and drains are cleared, maintained, and prepped for the spring season. Additionally, if you have a sump pump, ensure it’s in good working order before the rainy season begins.

Grease Buildup Spring is known to bring warm weather, outdoor barbecues, family gatherings, and an increased use of your kitchen. While these occasions are fun, they can also lead to grease buildup in your drains. When hot grease is poured down the drain, it cools and hardens, eventually creating blockages in your pipes. The buildup is particularly problematic in kitchen sink drains, as grease can mix with food particles, causing more severe clogs. A simple solution is to avoid pouring grease or oil down your sink. Instead, dispose of it in the trash. For existing grease buildup, a professional plumber can use specialized equipment like hydro-jetting to clean the pipes. ## Solutions to Common Sewer Problems Preventing and addressing sewer issues early can save you from costly repairs and inconvenience. Here are some effective solutions to avoid the most common sewer problems: - **Regular Inspections**: Schedule an [annual or biannual inspection](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) with a trusted plumbing professional like Bonney. Inspections allow us to identify potential problems before they escalate, including root intrusions, cracks, or blockages. - **Maintain Your Trees**: If you have large trees near your sewer lines, consult a landscaping professional to trim roots that might endanger your plumbing system. If you suspect root intrusion, [Bonney can help.](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) We use modern tools like video inspection snakes to assess the situation and recommend the best solutions for you. - **Proper Drain Maintenance**: Don’t put grease, coffee grounds, or large food particles down your kitchen drain. Running hot water down your drains after cooking can also help break down grease before it hardens. Install hair catchers in bathroom drains and regularly clean them to prevent clogs. Most importantly, [do not flush any “flushable” wipes](https://www.bonney.com/blog/covid-19-and-pipe-safety-avoid-flushing-wipes/), as they can quickly create or worsen blockages. - **Trenchless Sewer Repair:** When routine services, annual maintenance, and small repairs won’t do the trick, you may need a larger solution, such as [trenchless sewer repair](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/). Also called pipe lining or slip lining, this service repairs pipes that have been damaged by lining the inside of the pipe. - **Trenchless Sewer Replacement:** When you are too degraded for slip lining, plumbers can turn to [trenchless sewer replacement](https://www.bonney.com/blog/a-guide-to-trenchless-sewer-line-replacement/). This service involves replacing damaged pipes by dragging new installs through a small entry hole, minimizing issues for your yard while effectively restoring your sewer system. - **Open Trench Sewer Replacement:** For pipes past the point of saving, an open trench sewer replacement is the last resort for sewer repair. This service can solve almost any problem by giving you a brand-new system of pipes. Unfortunately, open trench sewer replacement is incredibly invasive, potentially requiring plumbers to dig up your landscaping and/or driveway to remove and replace pipes. This concern is why it is essential to have routine sewer maintenance and to call a professional at the first sign of a problem. ## Why Spring Is a Great Time to Check Your Sewer System Let the warm weather be your annual reminder to get your sewer system inspected and serviced. After the heavy rains and winter freezing, your sewer system may be under more strain, and the growth of trees can introduce new seasonal hazards. By performing routine maintenance during this season, you can ensure your home is ready for the warmer months, preventing any inconvenient plumbing disasters. Here’s why spring is the best time to check your sewer system: - **Minimized Risk of Damage**: Inspecting and repairing any issues before they worsen helps prevent major damage that could require expensive repairs or replacements. - **Prevent Clogs and Backups**: By addressing minor concerns now, you’ll reduce the chances of experiencing clogs, slow drainage, or backups during the busy summer months. - **Peace of Mind**: Knowing that your sewer system is in good shape ensures peace of mind, especially during spring showers and outdoor gatherings. ## Bonney Sewer Service in Sacramento The local sewer experts at Bonney are dedicated to providing reliable sewer, drain, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and electrical services in the greater Sacramento area.

Many homeowners assume these terms are interchangeable, but they serve distinct purposes. Think of it this way: **drain clearing** is like flossing your teeth—a quick solution to remove immediate blockages. Meanwhile, **drain cleaning** is like a full professional dental cleaning—it eliminates buildup and prevents future issues. If you’re a Sacramento homeowner dealing with slow drains or recurring clogs, knowing which service to choose can save you time, money, and frustration. Let’s explore the differences between these common drain services to help you make an informed decision. ## **What Is Drain Clearing?** Drain clearing is the process of removing obstructions from your pipes to restore proper water flow. This service is typically needed when a drain is clogged or draining slowly due to a blockage. Common drain clearing methods include: - **Plunging:** Using a plunger to create suction can dislodge minor clogs. - **Drain Snakes (Augers):** A flexible, coiled tool is inserted into the drain to break up and remove blockages. - **Chemical Drain Cleaners (Not Recommended):** Many homeowners make the mistake of using chemical drain cleaners. While they may quickly dissolve certain clogs, these chemicals can corrode and damage pipes — causing thousands in damage. While septic systems are rare in Sacramento, chemical drain cleaners are also detrimental to septic tanks, killing the good bacteria that keep these systems working. Drain clearing is a quick fix for immediate problems, but it does not address the underlying buildup that leads to recurring clogs. ## **What Is Drain Cleaning?** Drain cleaning is a preventive and comprehensive approach to maintaining your plumbing system. Instead of just removing blockages, this service cleans the entire drain system, eliminating grease, mineral deposits, soap, toothpaste, scale, and other buildup that can cause frequent clogs. Professional drain cleaning methods include: - **Video Camera Inspection:** Identifies the exact location and nature of blockages before cleaning. - **Hydro Jetting:** Professional-grade hydro jetting tools not only clear clogs but also gently remove grease, mineral deposits, scale, debris, and buildup from pipe walls. - **Preventative Solutions:** An expert can finish your service by offering any suggestions that may help prevent future blockages. For example, if they find the drain is clogged excessively by hair, they may recommend tools or habit changes that can help keep hair out of your drains. Regular drain cleaning extends the lifespan of your plumbing system and prevents costly repairs. ## **Why Sacramento Homeowners Should Care** Sacramento’s plumbing systems face unique challenges due to hard water, seasonal weather changes, and aging infrastructure. Hard water deposits can accumulate inside pipes, leading to stubborn clogs that require more than just clearing. Additionally, tree roots can invade underground pipes, making professional drain cleaning essential. ## **Choosing the Right Service: Drain Clearing vs. Drain Cleaning** **If you have a one-time sudden clog, drain clearing is the best option.** When your sink, bathtub, or toilet stops draining, it’s often due to an immediate obstruction like food waste, hair, grease, or even small objects lodged in the pipes. Drain clearing quickly restores water flow, allowing you to get back to your daily routine without major disruptions. However, while it solves the immediate issue, it doesn’t prevent future clogs from forming. **If you experience frequent clogs, drain cleaning will provide long-term relief.** Persistent blockages usually indicate buildup within your pipes, such as grease, soap scum, or mineral deposits that restrict water flow over time. Drain cleaning removes these residues, improving drainage efficiency and reducing the likelihood of recurring clogs. By keeping your plumbing system clean, you can prevent costly issues and avoid frustrating backups. **For older homes or homes with hard water, regular drain cleaning prevents buildup.** Sacramento’s hard water contains minerals that accumulate inside pipes, narrowing their diameter and making clogs more frequent. These older homes also often have narrow pipes that corrode or weaken over time, leading to stubborn drainage issues. Scheduling routine drain cleaning helps remove mineral deposits and prevents major plumbing problems, ensuring a longer lifespan for your system. ## **Drain Cleaning Service in Sacramento: Bonney** When you need professional drain cleaning services in Sacramento, Natomas, Orangevale, Roseville, Folsom, and [beyond](https://www.bonney.com/service-area/), Bonney is here for you.

These overflows can create serious issues for homeowners, such as basement flooding, water damage, soil erosion, and foundation problems. Let’s explore the causes of French drain overflow, how to resolve the issue, and what you can do to ensure your drainage system functions efficiently. ## Key Takeaways: - **French drain overflow can cause serious property damage.** Overflowing drains can lead to basement flooding, yard pooling, soil erosion, foundation issues, and damage to walkways and driveways. - **Clogs, poor slope, and excessive water are common causes.** Debris buildup, tree root intrusion, insufficient grading, heavy rainfall, or damaged pipes can all disrupt a French drain’s flow and trigger overflow. - **Prompt maintenance and professional solutions prevent long-term problems.** Regular cleaning, inspections, and repairs, plus potential system upgrades like wider pipes, secondary drains, or sump pumps, keep your drainage system effective and protect your home. ## What Is a French Drain? A French drain is a trench filled with gravel or rock that contains a perforated pipe designed to move excess water away from your home. It works by allowing water to flow through the gravel and into the pipe, which then carries it to a designated drainage area. French drains are commonly used to prevent basement flooding, water damage, yard pooling, and foundation issues. However, when they overflow, they can cause additional issues, including: - Unwanted growth in certain lawn areas - Swells and dips in manicured lawns - Puddles or pooling water - Cracking or leaning in concrete walkways - Driveway cracking - Concrete discoloration …and so many other issues. When you notice a French drain overflow, it is essential that you get the support you need before causing lasting damage to your landscape. ## Common Causes of French Drain Overflow What causes French drains to overflow? While French drains are highly effective, overflow is a risk when the system is not properly installed or maintained. Some common causes of overflow include: - **Clogged Drain Pipes:** Over time, debris such as dirt, leaves, rocks, and sediment can accumulate inside the perforated pipe, restricting water flow. When the pipe becomes clogged, water cannot flow through, which essentially shuts down your French drain system. - **Tree Root Intrusion:** Similarly, tree roots can gravitate toward French drains, blocking their drainage pathways. - **Insufficient Slope**: French drains rely on gravity to move water away from the problem area. If the slope is too shallow or improperly graded, water may pool instead of flowing efficiently, leading to overflow. This could be an issue with installation or a problem that emerges as the ground shifts, erodes, and settles over time. - **Excessive Water Volume**: Heavy rainfall, poor yard grading, or high groundwater levels can overwhelm a French drain, causing it to exceed its capacity and overflow. - **Improper Drainage Outlet:** If the drain’s outlet (the spot where it deposits water) is blocked or improperly placed, water will have nowhere to go, resulting in overflow. - **Collapsed or Damaged Pipes** Over time, pipes can deteriorate due to pressure, tree root intrusion, or shifting soil. A damaged pipe can restrict water flow and lead to overflow. ## How to Fix a French Drain Overflow If your French drain is overflowing, addressing the issue promptly can prevent further damage. Here’s how to troubleshoot and fix the problem: ### **1. Clear Blockages** A professional can perform a camera inspection to detect any clogs that may be blocking your French drain. If this is the cause of your overflow, they will use a hydro jet to remove debris from the perforated pipe and restore the water flow. ### 2. Improve the Drainage Slope Check the slope of your French drain. The ideal slope is 1% to 2% (1-2 inches of drop per 10 feet of pipe). If the slope is insufficient, a professional may need to regrade the trench to ensure proper water flow. ### 3. Expand the Drainage System If excessive water volume is causing overflow, consider adding or expanding your home’s drainage solutions. There are a few ways experts can do this, including: - Install a secondary French drain to distribute water more effectively. - Use a dry well to absorb excess water. - Redirect water to a storm drain or rain garden. ### 4. Check the Drainage Outlet Ensure the outlet where water is deposited is clear and properly positioned. If water is pooling at the exit point, consider extending the pipe, improving the outlet, or redirecting water to a more suitable drainage area. ### 5. Repair or Replace Damaged Pipes A professional can inspect your pipes for cracks, collapses, or tree root intrusion. If experts find damaged areas, they can help you explore your potential repair or replacement options until you find the right solution. ## Preventing French Drain Overflow Thankfully, there are steps homeowners can take to prevent French drain overflow before it starts, including: ### Regular Maintenance Preventive maintenance can help keep your French drain functioning efficiently and prevent future overflow issues. During an annual maintenance visit, your expert will: - **Clean the drain periodically** to remove debris and sediment buildup. - **Inspect the pipe for damage** and address issues before they worsen. - **Ensure proper grading** to maintain an effective slope. Awareness is key here. With our inspection equipment (CCTV pipe camera and locating equipment), we can help avoid imminent issues that can destroy landscaping. ### Upgrade Your Drainage System Sacramento’s unpredictable precipitation and dry tendencies left some homes unprepared for rainy days. You may need to upgrade your drainage system if you find frequent French drain floods: - **Replace narrow pipes with wider alternatives** if your current system struggles with water volume. - **Install a sump pump** for areas with high groundwater levels. You can [read more about sump pumps here](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/sump-pump-service-and-installation/). - **Use new perforated pipes with better filtration** to reduce clogging. These pipes help keep debris away to prevent drain disruptions. A professional can examine your French drain and walk you through the full extent of your potential solutions. ## French Drain Repair and Replacement in Sacramento To avoid costly issues, contact your local Bonney professionals at the first sign of French drain overflow.

Fortunately, sewer pipe lining offers a trenchless, cost-effective solution to restore your pipes without extensive excavation. While many homeowners want to put off this service as long as possible, waiting could lead to needing a full sewer replacement. So, how do you know when it’s time for sewer pipe lining? ## **What Is Sewer Pipe Lining?** Sewer pipe lining — also called slip lining or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining — is a trenchless repair method that restores damaged pipes by inserting a flexible liner coated with epoxy resin. Once in place, the liner is inflated and cured, creating a new pipe within the old pipe. This process is the most affordable way to restore a sewer system, eliminating the need for digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. The full process includes: - **Inspection**: A camera inspection is performed to assess the condition of the existing pipe to see if it qualifies for pipe lining service. - **Cleaning**: The pipe is cleared of debris, roots, and buildup using hydro jetting or mechanical cleaning. - **Liner Installation**: A flexible liner coated with epoxy resin is inserted into the damaged pipe. - **Curing Process**: The liner is inflated and cured using heat or UV light, forming a sturdy new pipe. - **Final Inspection**: A follow-up camera inspection ensures the repair was successful. ## **Signs You Need Sewer Pipe Lining** Your sewer system should be “out of sight, out of mind” at all times. If you notice any of the following signs, it is time to call a professional: - **Frequent Drain Backups:** If multiple drains in your home are backing up, it could indicate a problem in the main sewer line. Pipe lining can restore proper flow without major disruption. - **Slow Draining Fixtures:** Persistent slow drainage in sinks, tubs, or toilets may signal pipe deterioration or buildup inside the line. [Drain cleaning service](https://www.bonney.com/blog/drain-cleaning-vs-clearing/) can help address buildup, but pipe lining service may be required if your pipes are deteriorating. - **Foul Odors:** A strong sewage smell inside or outside your home could mean your sewer pipe has cracks or leaks. - **Visible Water Pooling in Your Yard:** If you notice unexplained wet spots or sinkholes in your yard, it may be due to a leaking underground pipe. - **Tree Root Intrusion:** Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can invade sewer pipes, causing blockages and structural damage. Pipe lining can seal the pipe and deter future root intrusion. - **Aging or Corroded Pipes:** Older homes with cast iron or clay pipes may experience corrosion or deterioration over time. Pipe lining reinforces the existing pipe, extending its lifespan. ## **Pipe Lining: When to Make the Call** If you are putting off your pipe lining service, it is essential you don’t test your luck. Sewer pipe lining is a cost-effective, durable, and minimally invasive solution for repairing damaged sewer lines. However, if you wait too long, your pipes will become too damaged to support the epoxy lining. Instead, you will require trenchless or open-trench sewer replacement, which are more invasive and costly. A professional can help you understand the extent of your pipe damage and the best timeline for you. Generally speaking, the sooner you get your pipe lining service, the better. Sturdier pipes offer a strong foundation for the epoxy adhesion, leading to longer-lasting results. ## **Benefits of Sewer Pipe Lining** Sewer pipe lining offers several advantages over traditional pipe replacement methods: ### **1. Minimal Disruption** Unlike traditional open-trench replacement, pipe lining does not require digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. The process is completed through small access points, preserving your property. ### **2. Cost-Effective Solution** Replacing an entire sewer line can be expensive due to material, labor, and restoration costs. Pipe lining is a more affordable alternative that eliminates the need for extensive excavation or more costly materials. ### **3. Lasting Results** The epoxy lining used in sewer pipe lining is highly durable, lasting 10-30+ years with proper maintenance. ### **4. Environmentally Friendly** Since pipe lining does not require digging, it reduces waste and minimizes environmental impact. ### **5. Faster Repair Time** Traditional sewer replacement can take days or even weeks. Pipe lining is often completed within a day, restoring your plumbing system quickly. ## **Choosing the Right Professional for Sewer Pipe Lining** Selecting a qualified plumbing professional is essential to ensure a successful sewer pipe lining repair. Here’s what to look for: - **Experience and Certification:** Choose a company with expertise in trenchless sewer repair and proper [certifications](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/licenses-certifications/). - **Advanced Equipment:** Ensure the contractor uses high-quality materials and modern technology for inspection and installation. - **Customer Reviews and Reputation:** Check [online reviews and testimonials](https://g.co/kgs/cvmiKb2) to gauge customer satisfaction. ## Key Takeaways: - Sewer pipe lining restores damaged pipes by inserting an epoxy-coated liner that cures inside the original pipe, forming a new “pipe within a pipe.” - It’s most effective when pipes still have enough structural integrity to support the lining; waiting too long may force a full replacement. - The method avoids major excavation, preserving landscaping and reducing disruption while offering a durable repair solution. ## **Choose Bonney’s Pipe Lining Service In Sacramento** When your sewer starts giving you problems, the specialists at Bonney are here for you.

One of the most crucial yet often overlooked tasks is winterizing outdoor plumbing. Whether you’re in an area that experiences harsh winter conditions or a milder climate, taking preventive steps can save you from extensive damage and high repair costs. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Untitled-design-3.png) ## Why You Should Winterizing Your Outdoor Plumbing Winterizing your outdoor plumbing in California is essential to prevent pipes from freezing, bursting, and causing damage to your home. When water freezes, it expands, and this pressure can cause pipes to crack or break, leading to leaks once the temperature rises again. Here’s why it’s a must-do: - **Protect Your Pipes from Freezing:** Frozen pipes can crack or rupture, leading to severe water damage. - **Save on Costly Repairs:** A simple winterization process can save you thousands of dollars in water damage, pipe replacements, and other repair costs. - **Prevent Water Waste:** Leaky pipes and the water waste they create can lead to staggering water bills that exceed the cost of winterization. - **Maintain Efficiency:** Ensuring your pipes are in good condition helps maintain optimal water flow and efficiency year-round. ## Do I Need to Winterize My California Home’s Outdoor Plumbing? Not every household may need to winterize their outdoor plumbing, but if you fall into any of the following categories, it’s highly recommended: 1. **Residents in Cold Climates:** If you live in an area where temperatures frequently drop below freezing, winterizing is a necessity. 2. **Homes with Outdoor Faucets and Spigots:** If your home has external water access points, such as garden spigots or outdoor faucets, you should winterize to prevent freezing. 3. **Homes with Uninsulated Pipes:** If your pipes aren’t insulated, they will be more vulnerable to freezing, leaking, and bursting. 4. **Seasonal Homes:** If you own a second property that remains vacant during the colder months, it’s essential to winterize to prevent damage while you’re away. ## Step-by-Step Guide to Winterizing Your Plumbing Winterizing outdoor plumbing can be done in a few straightforward steps. Here’s how to get it done: ### 1. Turn Off the Water Supply to Outdoor Faucets The first step in winterizing outdoor plumbing is to turn off the water supply to any outdoor faucets or spigots. Most homes have a shutoff valve located inside the house. Once the valve is off, open the outdoor faucet to drain any remaining water from the pipes. This prevents water from freezing and expanding in the pipes. ### 2. Drain Hoses and Store Them Indoors Disconnect any garden hoses connected to outdoor spigots. Drain any remaining water from them and store them indoors to prevent damage from freezing temperatures. Hoses left outside with water in them can freeze, expand, and burst, rendering them unusable next season. ### 3. Insulate Outdoor Pipes and Faucets For added protection, insulate any pipes and faucets that may be exposed to freezing temperatures. Use foam pipe insulation or faucet covers, both of which are inexpensive and easy to install. These materials help to keep any residual water from freezing inside the pipes. ### 4. Install Frost-Resistant Spigots If you live in a region prone to freezing temperatures, consider upgrading to frost-free spigots. These are designed to prevent freezing and eliminate the need for extensive winterization measures each year. ### 5. Check for Leaks and Repair Them Before winter hits, inspect all outdoor plumbing for any leaks or weak spots that could be prone to cracking or bursting in cold weather. If you find any issues, make the necessary repairs to ensure that your plumbing is in good condition before freezing temperatures arrive. ### 6. Call an Expert for Help If you’re unsure about the state of your outdoor plumbing or how to properly winterize it, it’s always a good idea to call a professional. A certified plumber can assess your system, ensure that everything is winterized correctly, and provide recommendations for upgrades if needed. ## Common Home Winterizing Mistakes to Avoid When it comes to winterizing outdoor plumbing, there are a few mistakes homeowners commonly make. Be sure to avoid these pitfalls: - **Not Draining Water Completely:** Even a small amount of water left in your pipes can freeze and expand, causing pipes to crack or burst. - **Forgetting to Disconnect Hoses:** Leaving hoses attached to faucets can trap water inside, leading to freezing. - **Skipping Insulation:** Uninsulated pipes are highly susceptible to freezing. Be sure to insulate any exposed plumbing, especially in areas prone to extreme cold. ## When Should You Winterize Your Home? Ideally, you should winterize your home before the first frost of the season.

Both options have their benefits and drawbacks, and selecting the right one for your home depends on various factors such as energy efficiency, household size, budget, and long-term needs. In this blog, we’ll explore the pros and cons of both systems, as well as how to determine which water heater is best for your home. ## Pros and Cons of Tankless Water Heaters Tankless water heaters, often referred to as “on-demand” water heaters, heat water as it is needed, rather than storing hot water in a tank. Here are the key advantages and disadvantages of tankless systems: ### Pros of Tankless Water Heaters ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Untitled-design-5.png) 1. **Energy Efficiency** One of the main selling points of a tankless water heater is its energy efficiency. Since these systems only heat water when it’s needed, they eliminate standby heat loss, which is common with traditional water heaters that continuously heat a full tank of water. As a result, tankless water heaters can reduce energy consumption by 24% to 34% compared to traditional models. 2. **Unlimited Hot Water** Tankless water heaters provide a continuous supply of hot water, as long as the demand does not exceed the system’s capacity. This is particularly advantageous for larger households or families who often run multiple showers, dishwashers, or washing machines at once. 3. **Space Saving** Tankless units are compact and can be mounted on walls, saving valuable floor space in your home. This is ideal for homes with limited space, such as apartments or smaller homes. 4. **Longer Lifespan** A well-maintained tankless water heater can last up to 20 years or more, significantly longer than a traditional water heater, which typically lasts 10-15 years. This makes it a solid long-term investment. ### Cons of Tankless Water Heaters 1. **Higher Initial Cost** The upfront cost of a tankless water heater is generally higher than that of a traditional model. In addition to the cost of the unit, installation can also be more expensive, especially if you need to upgrade your home’s electrical or gas systems to accommodate the tankless model. 2. **Limited Flow Rate** While tankless water heaters provide an unlimited supply of hot water, they can struggle to keep up with high simultaneous demands. For example, running multiple hot water appliances at the same time (like two showers and a dishwasher) may reduce the water temperature if the system is not sized properly for your home’s needs. 3. **Potential for Increased Maintenance** Because tankless water heaters are more complex, they may require more maintenance, especially if you have hard water in your area. Regular descaling may be necessary to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance. ## Pros and Cons of Traditional Water Heaters Traditional water heaters, also known as storage or tank-style heaters, store a large amount of water in a tank and continuously heat it to maintain a set temperature. Here’s a breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages of these systems: ### Pros of Traditional Water Heaters ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Untitled-design-6.png) 1. **Lower Initial Cost** Traditional water heaters are typically less expensive to purchase and install compared to tankless models. This makes them a more budget-friendly option for many homeowners, especially those who are not looking to make a large upfront investment. 2. **Simplicity and Reliability** With fewer components and a simpler design, traditional water heaters are known for their reliability and ease of use. They are also easier to repair, which can save on potential maintenance costs down the line. 3. **No Flow Rate Limitations** Traditional water heaters can deliver hot water to multiple appliances at once without a noticeable drop in water temperature. Since they store a large volume of hot water, they can usually meet the demands of larger households with ease. ### Cons of Traditional Water Heaters 1. **Energy Inefficiency** One of the biggest downsides of a traditional water heater is energy inefficiency due to standby heat loss. Even when you’re not using hot water, the system continues to heat the water in the tank, leading to higher energy consumption and increased utility bills. 2. **Limited Hot Water Supply** Traditional water heaters have a finite capacity, meaning that once the tank runs out of hot water, you’ll have to wait for the water to be heated again. This can be inconvenient for larger families or during times of high hot water usage. 3. **Shorter Lifespan** On average, traditional water heaters last between 10 to 15 years, which is shorter than the lifespan of a tankless model. This means that while the upfront cost may be lower, you may need to replace a traditional water heater more frequently. 4. **Takes Up Space** Because traditional water heaters store a large volume of water, they require a significant amount of floor space. For homeowners with limited space, this can be a drawback compared to the more compact tankless models. ## Choosing Between Tankless and Traditional Water Heaters: Which Is Right for Your Home? Deciding between a tankless and traditional water heater depends on several factors, including your household size, hot water usage, budget, and long-term goals. - **For Larger Households with High Hot Water Demand**: If you have a large family and frequently run multiple appliances that use hot water at the same time, a traditional water heater may be the better choice, as it can supply hot water to several sources simultaneously without a drop in temperature. - **For Energy-Conscious Homeowners**: If energy efficiency and reducing your environmental impact are priorities, a tankless water heater is the way to go. The energy savings over time can offset the higher upfront costs, making it a more eco-friendly and cost-effective option in the long run. - **For Homes with Limited Space**: If you’re short on space or live in a smaller home or apartment, the compact design of a tankless water heater will save valuable square footage. - **For Budget-Conscious Homeowners**: If you’re looking for the most affordable option upfront, a traditional water heater will typically cost less to purchase and install. However, keep in mind that the ongoing energy costs of a traditional unit may outweigh the initial savings over time. - **For Longevity and Low Maintenance**: If you want a long-lasting system with less frequent replacements, tankless water heaters have a longer lifespan. Just be prepared for potential maintenance, especially if you live in an area with hard water, which may require descaling the unit regularly. Ultimately, the right water heater for your home will depend on your specific needs and priorities. Whether you choose a tankless or traditional water heater, both options have their own set of advantages and trade-offs. ## Get Expert Plumbing Advice in Sacramento from Bonney Choosing between a tankless and traditional water heater can feel overwhelming, but Bonney is here to help.

And not only that, but keep in mind how this low flow can make a big impact on your wallet ![Low Water Pressure from Shower Head | Bonney Plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Low-Water-Pressure.jpg) **When Water Pressure Dips** For residents, low water pressure is defined as a reading below 40 pounds per square inch (psi). The typical residential water pressure should be between 45 to 55 psi. You can install a pressure gauge to help track your home’s water pressure, or you can ask a trusted plumber from Bonney to install one. It’s recommended you check your home’s water pressure at least twice a year. **What Might be Impacting Your Water Supply** Several factors can contribute to weak water pressure – some are easy fixes and some might require a professional. Here are six common causes and possible solutions to end the low water pressure in your home. **Too Much Usage at Once:** While you might like multitasking your chores on the weekend – like running the dishwasher, doing the laundry, watering the garden and washing the car, all of these happening at once can hamper your water supply. Water pressure could also be impacted when several people in one household take a shower at the same time. The easiest way to work around the nuisance of low water pressure is to coordinate when you’re using your plumbing fixtures. Simply alternating times so not every faucet, hose or shower is running at once can save some aggravation. Alternatively, you can upgrade to larger supply lines. **Old or Faulty Fixtures:** Faucets and showerheads can become clogged with mineral deposits over time. You can try to clean the shower head or clean out the screen on the aerator. If this doesn’t solve the problem, you may need to replace the fixture. **Broken Pressure Regulator:** Water pressure regulators are designed to help stabilize water pressure in your home, keeping it within a certain range. When these regulators go bad, your water pressure can either become too high or too low. **Hidden (or unknown) Leaks:** You might not realize you have a leak lurking in your home, but a leak can certainly lead to reduced pressure. Look around your toilets, sinks, appliances and pipes for any leaks and be sure to repair them or replace the cause promptly. **Clogged Pipes:** Hair, food, soap scum and other debris can build up over time in the pipes and reduce the ability to drain properly. These blockages will disrupt the flow, which will impact your water pressure. You can snake the pipes, but if that is ineffective, a plumber from Bonney can professionally clean the pipes and examine them for potential problems. **Closed Valves:** You could inadvertently have a closed or partially closed water shutoff valve, which controls the flow of water into your home. How you open the valve depends on which type it is: for a lever-type valve, move the handle until it is in line with the water pipe. To open a wheel-type valve, turn the wheel counterclockwise until it is tight. Then, turn it a quarter turn clockwise, which prevents the valve from getting stuck or springing a leak. ## Key Takeaways - Normal residential water pressure should fall between 45 to 55 psi, with readings below 40 psi considered low. Check your home’s pressure at least twice yearly using a gauge. - Simple causes include running too many fixtures simultaneously, clogged aerators or showerheads from mineral deposits, and partially closed shutoff valves. These can be fixed by coordinating water usage, cleaning fixtures, or properly opening valves. - Serious issues like broken pressure regulators, hidden leaks, or blocked pipes require professional attention. A faulty regulator can cause pressure to swing too high or too low, while undetected leaks and pipe blockages reduce flow throughout your system. **Plumbers in Sacramento** If you’re tired of dealing with weak water pressure and want reliable solutions, it’s time to call in the experts. At Bonney, our skilled plumbers are dedicated to getting your water flowing the way it should.

A well-prepared water heater can prevent issues like freezing pipes, decreased efficiency, and unexpected breakdowns. Here are key steps to prepare your water heater for cold weather and keep your home comfortable throughout the season. ## **1. Check the Temperature Setting** Before you find yourself standing beneath a cold shower, you may want to slightly increase your water heater’s temperature setting. Adjusting the temperature setting on your water heater can enhance its performance during colder months. The recommended temperature for optimal performance is around 120°F. This setting saves on energy costs while still providing safe and sufficient hot water. Depending on how your water fixtures and pipe insulation, you may feel the need to raise the temperature even higher in the winter. While you know your home best, proceed with caution to avoid overheating. Additionally, **if you take this step, you must lower the temperature** once the weather starts heating up. Otherwise, you could risk scalding, especially for older adults and young children. Read our guide to[ raising water heater temperatures here](https://www.bonney.com/blog/raise-water-heater-temp/). ![Professional water heater adjustment in Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/water-heater-adjustment.jpg) ## **2. Drain and Flush Your Water Heater’s Tank** Regular maintenance, including draining and flushing your water heater, is crucial for its efficiency and longevity. This process removes harmful sediment buildup, which can affect water heater performance. Sediment is especially prominent in areas with hard water, like Sacramento. A professional will complete this service during a routine maintenance visit to keep your unit working throughout the winter season. ## **3. Replacing Old Sacrificial Anode Rods** Your water heater needs all the help it can get to survive the winter season. Thankfully, it has a sacrificial anode rod on its side. The sacrificial anode rod plays a key role in protecting your tank from corrosion. You can read about the[ anode rod’s purpose and function here](https://www.bonney.com/blog/sacrificial-anode-rods/). Having a professional routinely replace this rod can extend the lifespan of your water heater. This process can also help address other issues, like smelly water. If your rod is 2-4 years old, consider replacing it before the winter season hits. ## **4. Consider Adding a Heat Trap** A heat trap can enhance the efficiency of your water heater, especially in colder weather. This device prevents hot water from flowing back into the cool water line. Many newer water heaters already include a heat trap, but adding one to an older unit may help boost efficiency and longevity. Your plumbing professional can tell you if you need a heat trap and explore your options for this service. ## **5. Prepare and Monitor for Leaks** Cold weather can cause pipes to contract, leading to potential leaks throughout your plumbing system — including your water heater. First, take measures to prevent leaks, such as[ winterizing your outdoor plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/blog/winterize-outdoor-plumbing/). Throughout the winter, you will want to regularly check your home for signs of water leaks. **It is essential to know where your main water shutoff valve is** and how to switch it in the case of a plumbing emergency. If you suspect a leak, immediately turn off your home’s water and call a professional. ## **Schedule Your Water Heater Service with Bonney** Preparing your water heater for cold weather is essential for maintaining efficiency, preventing breakdowns, and ensuring a steady hot water supply.

It typically involves locating the thermostat and making minor adjustments to increase or decrease the temperature. However, how you turn up your hot water heater’s temperature can vary based on the type and model of unit you have, so consult your manual or a [professional plumber](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) for specifics. To ensure you’re adjusting your hot water heater temperature safely, we’ll review these topics: - Understanding water heater temperature issues - Safety precautions before adjusting the temperature - How to adjust the temperature on a tank water heater - How to adjust the temperature on a tankless water heater - Troubleshooting common issues Now, let’s dive into the details to help you learn how to turn up your water heater’s thermostat. --- ## Looking to Replace Your Water Heater? If your water heater is outdated, leaks around the tank’s base, or operates inefficiently, it might be time for a replacement. Call the expert plumbers at Bonney, Sacramento’s leading A+ Better Business Bureau member, for [water heater installation](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/ "Water Heaters"). Contact us at (800) 444-0551 or use Bonney’s online service booking to schedule services today. --- ## Understanding Water Heater Temperature Settings While most water heaters are pre-set to 140 degrees F, you can manually adjust this temperature to fit your desired warmth and energy efficiency. However, you must maintain a minimum temperature of 120 degrees F to prevent Legionella and other water-borne diseases. According to the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention](https://www.cdc.gov/control-legionella/php/guidance/monitor-water-guidance.html "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention"), Legionella grows best in water temperatures between 77 and 113 degrees F. Lowering your water heater temperature to 120 degrees reduces your unit’s workload, leading to energy savings over time. This temperature also guards against scalding, especially for children and older adults. ## Safety Precautions Before Adjusting the Temperature Before adjusting hot water heater temperatures on a tank-style unit, turn off the power supply on electric models or shut off the gas for gas models to ensure your safety. Additionally, consult the owner’s manual for model-specific instructions, as some units may have unique safety features or adjustment methods. ## How to Adjust the Temperature on a Tank Water Heater Adjusting the temperature on a tank water heater varies slightly based on whether it’s an electric or gas model. **For traditional electric tank water heaters:** - Turn off the power. - Remove the access panel on the front of the unit. - Pull back any insulation covering the thermostat if applicable. - Use a flathead screwdriver to turn the temperature dial to the desired setting. Electric water heaters have two thermostats, one for the upper element and one for the lower, so ensure you adjust both. **Follow these steps for gas tank water heaters:** - Turn the gas valve to the off position. - Find the temperature dial on the outside of the unit toward the bottom. - Turn the dial by hand. - Relight the pilot. On both electric and gas tank-style water heaters, you turn the dial clockwise to reduce the temperature or counterclockwise to increase it. You must wait a few hours to test your new temperature setting and repeat these steps if the temperature still isn’t right. ## How to Adjust the Temperature on a Tankless Water Heater Adjusting the temperature on a tankless water heater is much simpler and more precise than tank models. You won’t need to turn the power off before changing the temperature. - Locate the control panel or digital interface, which is typically located on the front of the unit. - Adjust the temperature settings by using the buttons or touch screen on the digital interface. Many models allow you to set specific numeric temperatures like an AC thermostat, making it simple to fine-tune the setting. You can immediately test the new temperature on a tankless water heater because it supplies hot water on demand. ## Troubleshooting Common Issues Inconsistent water temperature could be caused by a faulty thermostat, which may require you to reset or replace it. [Sediment buildup](https://www.bonney.com/blog/your-guide-to-water-heater-anode-rod/ "Your Guide To Water Heater Anode Rod") can also limit the amount of hot water available, requiring you to drain and flush the tank. Finally, it could simply be an incorrect thermostat setting that you’re currently addressing. If the thermostat isn’t adjusting correctly, it could be a wiring issue or a worn-out component that needs to be replaced. If you’re uncomfortable troubleshooting, it’s best to call a professional. Setting the correct water heater temperature is essential for safety and efficiency. While adjusting a thermostat is generally DIY-friendly, don’t hesitate to contact a professional if you’re unsure or run into complications. --- ## Speak to the Pros About Water Heater Temperature Issues If you’re having water heater temperature issues, the professionals at Bonney can help.

This means locating the water source by checking for common problems like poor drainage and high groundwater levels and then correcting the issue. However, many homeowners aren’t sure what signs to look for when investigating crawl space water. With that in mind, we’ve created this guide, covering: - Common culprits behind water in your crawl space - Quick fixes and long-term solutions - Crawl space water prevention tips - When it’s time to call in the professionals - Keeping your crawl space dry and your home safe Keep reading to learn everything you need to know about keeping your home dry and avoiding water damage. --- ## Stop Water in Its Tracks – Call Bonney for Crawl Space Solutions Today!

Start by exploring the crawl space with a flashlight in hand. Water can build up under your house due to plumbing issues or from external sources, so you should systematically rule out each source. The water might have ended up under your home after heavy rain. However, if the weather has been dry, you’ll want to pay more attention to the pipes and [sewer line](https://www.bonney.com/blog/how-to-locate-your-sewer-line/) under your home, as they may be leaking. Other common causes of crawl space water include: - Poor yard drainage - Improperly positioned downspouts - Clogged gutters - A high water table The water might also be coming from leaking fixtures, pipes, or appliances indoors, so don’t forget to check the subfloor. ## Quick Fixes and Long-Term Solutions The ideal way to remove water from your crawl space depends on how it got there in the first place. Fixing leaking pipes and fixtures will solve the issue if that’s the source of the water, as will clearing out clogged gutters and downspouts. If you’re dealing with water in your crawl space after heavy rain, this also tends to be a temporary problem. You can usually rectify it with a wet vacuum or a sump pump. However, storms can also place strain on your home’s pipelines, so consider scheduling [plumbing maintenance before heavy rain](https://www.bonney.com/blog/plumbing-prep-the-importance-of-plumbing-maintenance-before-heavy-rains/) occurs again. If flooding happens often, you might need a more long-term solution. Options include: - Regrading your yard - Installing vapor barriers - Installing a permanent sump pump - Encapsulating your crawl space - Installing catch basins and perimeter drains ## Protecting Your Home: Crawl Space Water Prevention Tips Installing a drainage system like a French drain or catch basin offers the strongest prevention against your crawl space being inundated with water again. However, other effective prevention measures include: - Regularly checking all fixtures, pipes, drains, and appliances for leaks - Staying on top of gutter maintenance - Checking for slope changes in your yard - Scheduling plumbing maintenance throughout the year ## When It’s Time to Call in the Professionals You should consider calling a professional if any of the following are true: - DIY remedies don’t seem to stop water intrusion - You can’t find the source of the water - The problem worsens If there’s more than a small puddle, contact a plumber immediately, as this excess water can quickly damage your home’s structure or cause mold growth. Professionals have the expertise to find where the problem is coming from and can recommend more effective, long-term solutions. ## Keeping Your Crawl Space Dry and Your Home Safe Water gets into your crawl space for many reasons, including heavy rain, leaking pipes, and issues with your gutters and downspouts, but it’s usually easy to manage. However, the only way to stop the problem from returning is to find the source and implement a long-term fix. If DIY measures and preventatives aren’t working, it might be time to reach out to a reputable plumber to fix things for good. ## Key Takeaways: - **Identify the source quickly.** Water in a crawl space can come from plumbing leaks, heavy rain, poor yard drainage, clogged gutters, or a high water table. Locating the source early helps prevent major damage. - **Use both quick fixes and long-term solutions.** Temporary solutions like wet vacuums or sump pumps can help, but permanent measures, such as regrading, installing drainage systems, vapor barriers, or encapsulation, are crucial for preventing recurring problems. - **Call professionals when DIY isn’t enough.** If water persists, the source is unclear, or flooding worsens, plumbing experts like Bonney can provide effective, long-term solutions to protect your home and prevent structural or mold damage. --- ## Protect Your Home From Water Damage – Let Bonney Keep Your Crawl Space Dry!

For those in Los Angeles and surrounding areas, that means preparing to evacuate from the fire’s path. However, those beyond the direct threat of the fire must take [precautions against air quality threats](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/). Here is everything you need to know about the risks of poor air quality and how to protect your home. ## How Wildfires Affect Indoor Air Quality Wildfire smoke can make its way indoors, even if you keep doors and windows closed. These wildfires produce airborne pollutants that can affect air quality both outdoors and indoors, including: - **Particulate Matter** includes any tiny particles less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter. These pollutants can penetrate deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream. - **Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)** are gaseous chemicals released when wood, plastic, and chemicals burn. VOCs can irritate your eyes, nose, and throat, and cause headaches or dizziness. - **Carbon Monoxide (CO)** is a colorless, odorless gas that can be particularly dangerous in confined spaces when not ventilated properly. - **Ozone** is a reactive gas that forms when smoke particles interact with sunlight. High levels of ozone can irritate the respiratory system. Wildfire smoke is a complex mix of gases and fine particles that can cause short-term and long-term health concerns. These concerns are particularly prominent for vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and anyone with pre-existing health conditions. ## How to Protect Your Home from Wildfire Smoke When the air quality is threatened by wildfires, it’s essential to minimize exposure to harmful pollutants, especially inside your home. Let’s explore how you can improve and maintain your indoor air quality during wildfire season: ### 1. Properly Seal Your Home The first step in reducing indoor air contamination is to seal your home as thoroughly as possible. Of course, it is helpful to keep windows and doors closed. Additionally, work to seal any gaps where smoke may enter, such as around windows and doors. You can use weatherstripping around these areas to prevent leaks. Finally, if your home has a chimney, be sure it’s closed when not in use. ### 2. Consider Professional Air Quality Solutions While sealing your home is essential to preventing unwanted infiltration and keeping your energy bills low, it can also be a double-edged sword. Home sealing efforts trap any air contamination (from cooking, cleaning, and other daily activities) inside — alongside any smog or smoke that may leak in as you enter and exit your home. Now more than ever, homes need professional air quality support. An HVAC or air quality professional can assess your home’s current air quality, identify areas of concern, and recommend solutions that will optimize your home’s indoor air quality, including: - **Duct Cleaning**: If your HVAC system hasn’t been cleaned in a while, debris from previous wildfire seasons could still be present. A professional cleaning can ensure that pollutants aren’t circulating within your ducts. - **Air Quality Assessment**: Experts can visually inspect your system for any dirt and debris that may be circulating throughout your home, allowing them to tailor recommendations to your unique needs. - **Whole-Home Air Purifiers:** If you’re looking to filter air throughout your entire home, consider investing in a whole-house air purification system. These systems integrate with your existing HVAC setup and filter air as it circulates. To get started, [explore different whole-home air purifiers](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) so you can get a better understanding of your options, or speak with an expert who can help. ### 3. Maintain Your HVAC System If you rely on your HVAC system for heating or cooling, it’s essential to ensure that it is functioning properly, especially during wildfire season. Here are some [seasonal HVAC maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) steps to take: - **Change Your HVAC Filters**: Dirty filters are less effective in trapping dust and other airborne particles — meaning more pollutants circulating inside your home. Use high-efficiency filters, ideally MERV-13 or higher, and replace them more frequently during wildfire season. Here is a quick [guide to how frequently you need to replace your home’s air filter](https://www.bonney.com/blog/how-often-should-i-change-my-home-air-filters/). - **Check Your Ductwork**: Ensure your ducts are properly sealed and clean. Leaky ducts can allow smoke and pollutants to enter your home even when you have closed doors and windows. - **Get professional seasonal maintenance**: When you skip routine HVAC maintenance, you leave your home vulnerable to system issues. Not only will breakdowns leave your comfort at risk, but they can also halt operations of your whole-home air purifier. Consider signing up for a [seasonal maintenance contract](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) to save money while protecting your home. ### 4. Monitor Air Quality Inside Your Home One of the best ways to keep track of indoor air quality is by using an air quality monitor. These devices can provide real-time data on pollutants, including particulate matter and carbon monoxide. You can use this information to make informed decisions about your actions during a wildfire. Many modern air quality monitors also track temperature and humidity, so you can adjust your home’s climate while reducing exposure to wildfire smoke. ## Bonney Whole-Home Air Purifiers in Sacramento Wildfires in California are not just a threat to the environment — they can also have a significant impact on indoor air quality. It is best not to wait until a fire is raging outside to ensure your home is ready.

It affects everything from your home’s structural integrity to your personal well-being. Sacramento’s extreme humidity swings (from dry summers to damp winters) make understanding and managing indoor humidity essential. Let’s explore everything you need to know about home humidity. ## What is Indoor Humidity? Indoor humidity refers to the moisture content of the air inside your home. It is measured as relative humidity (RH), which is expressed as a percentage. RH indicates how much moisture the air contains compared to the maximum it can hold **at a given temperature**. For example, 50% RH means the air is holding half the moisture it is capable of at that temperature. Of course, warm air holds much more moisture than cold air, so the ideal RH percentage will adjust seasonally. ## Ideal Humidity Levels for Your Home The optimal indoor humidity level typically ranges between **30% and 50% RH**. This range ensures comfort, prevents health issues, and protects your home from damage. However, you can also take your personal preferences and Sacramento’s climate into account when exploring your ideal humidity level: - **Summer**: Sacramento’s dry heat can lower indoor humidity levels. Aim for 40%–50% RH to counteract dryness. - **Winter**: Damp conditions in winter may increase indoor humidity. Keep it between 30% and 40% RH to avoid excess moisture. Maintaining these levels helps create a balanced environment that supports your health and your home. ## Problems Caused by Low Indoor Humidity Low humidity is common during Sacramento’s hot, dry summers. It can lead to several issues, including: - **Health Problems**: Dry air can cause respiratory issues, dry skin, and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. - **Damage to Wooden Furniture and Floors**: Lack of moisture can cause wood to crack, warp, or shrink. - **Static Electricity**: Dry air increases static electricity, which can be annoying and potentially harmful to electronics. ### Causes of Low Humidity So, what causes low levels of humidity in your home? Dry air can be caused by a few factors, including: - **Climate**: Sacramento’s low precipitation leads to dry summers, which naturally reduce indoor moisture levels. - **Air Conditioning**: AC systems can remove moisture from the air, exacerbating dryness. - **Poor Insulation**: Homes with inadequate insulation may struggle to retain moisture. - **Behaviors**: Some activities, like frequently running a drying machine, can remove moisture from the air — especially without proper ventilation. ### Solutions for Low Humidity Thankfully, there are some easy ways to combat low home humidity, including: - **Use a Humidifier**: A humidifier adds moisture to the air, helping maintain optimal humidity levels. - **Seal Windows and Doors**: Prevent dry air from entering your home by sealing gaps and cracks. - **Add Indoor Plants**: Plants release moisture into the air, naturally increasing humidity. ## Problems Caused by High Indoor Humidity High humidity is more common during Sacramento’s damp winters. It can lead to several issues for your home and health, including: 1. **Mold and Mildew Growth**: Excess moisture creates an ideal environment for mold and mildew, which can damage your home and pose health risks. 2. **Dust Mites**: High humidity supports the growth of dust mites, which can trigger allergies and asthma. 3. **Damage to Walls and Ceilings**: Moisture can cause paint to peel, wallpaper to bubble, and structural damage. 4. **Uncomfortable Living Conditions**: High humidity can make your home feel hot, sticky, and stuffy, reducing comfort. ### Causes of High Humidity High humidity can occur naturally, especially when Sacramento’s occasional damp conditions increase indoor moisture levels. However, **noticeable humidity is often the sign of an issue in your home, which may require immediate attention**, including: - **Leaky Pipes, Roofs, Appliances, or Air Conditioners**: Water leaks from pipes, roofing issues, leaky appliances, or your HVAC system can cause excess humidity in your home. - **Poor Ventilation**: Lack of airflow can trap moisture inside your home. - **Overuse of Humidifiers**: Using a humidifier excessively can raise humidity above the ideal level. - **Busted Drain Lines:** Sacramento trees are notorious for seeking out the water in your [sewer and drain lines](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/), which can leave your pipes vulnerable. Extra standing water in your yard, paired with the California heat, can cause extra humidity in and around your home. - **Clogged Condensate Line:** When your condensate line gets clogged, extra water from your air conditioner may be sitting in your home. You can read more about the [signs of a clogged condensate line here](https://www.bonney.com/blog/signs-condensate-line-clogged/). ### Solutions for High Home Humidity Unfortunately, high home humidity may require a bit more work to resolve than low humidity; however, there are solutions available to homeowners, including: - **Use a Dehumidifier**: A dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air, helping maintain optimal levels. - **Improve Ventilation**: Open windows and use exhaust fans to increase airflow and reduce moisture. - **Fix Leaks**: Have a professional inspect your home for signs of an issue. Repair any leaky pipes or appliance issues to prevent water from entering your home. ## Monitoring and Maintaining Indoor Humidity To ensure your home stays within the ideal humidity range, invest in a hygrometer. This device measures indoor humidity levels, allowing you to make adjustments as needed. Regular HVAC maintenance is also crucial for managing humidity. Clean or replace filters, check for leaks, and ensure your system is functioning efficiently. ## Key Takeaways - Ideal indoor humidity ranges from 30% to 50% relative humidity, with adjustments based on season. Sacramento homes should aim for 40-50% in dry summers and 30-40% during damper winters. - Low humidity causes respiratory problems, dry skin, cracked wooden furniture, and static electricity buildup. Solutions include using humidifiers, sealing windows and doors, and adding indoor plants to naturally increase moisture. - Monitor your home’s humidity with a hygrometer and maintain your HVAC system regularly through filter changes and leak inspections. Dehumidifiers and improved ventilation help control excess moisture. ## Bonney Home Services in Sacramento With professionals dedicated to air quality, HVAC maintenance, and plumbing, Bonney has the support you need to keep your home comfortable.

The [Department of Energy](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/programmable-thermostats) recommends setting it at 78 degrees in the summer and 68 degrees in the winter for energy efficiency. However, adjusting temperatures slightly higher in the summer and lower in the winter reduces your system’s workload. Reduced workload saves energy, translating into lower utility bills. It also reduces the strain on your system, potentially prolonging its life while keeping your home comfortable. ## What Should the Thermostat Be Set At in Winter In the winter, set your thermostat to 68 degrees to improve energy efficiency while maintaining comfort. To increase comfort, wear warm socks and add layers of clothing to stay warm without adjusting the thermostat. You can ensure energy efficiency by adhering to the suggested thermostat settings for the winter with the aid of a programmable or smart thermostat. ## What Should the Thermostat Be Set To in Summer Balance comfort with energy savings by setting your thermostat to 78 degrees in the summer. According to the Department of Energy, a smaller difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures lowers your overall energy bill. To increase your personal comfort, use ceiling fans to circulate cool air in the summer, reducing the need to lower the temperature. A programmable or smart thermostat can help you stick to the recommended thermostat settings for the season. ## Best Thermostat Settings for While You’re Away According to the Department of Energy, setting your thermostat’s temperature 7 to 10 degrees higher in the summer or lower in the winter for 8 hours daily could save you as much as 10% on your annual energy bill. You can make this adjustment while you’re away from home. However, the season, the size of your home, and whether you have [pets impact your ideal home temperature](https://www.bonney.com/blog/should-you-leave-the-air-conditioner-on-for-your-pet/) when you’re gone. To make routine adjustments easy to remember, consider getting a programmable thermostat you can set to make adjustments for you automatically. Smart thermostats offer even more convenience, allowing you to control your home’s temperature from anywhere using a smartphone app. It’s a simple way to maintain a comfortable home environment without overburdening your system. ## Thermostat Settings for Energy Savings Remaining comfortable while balancing energy savings can be challenging, but even a few degrees can make a significant difference. [Energy Star](https://www.energystar.gov/sites/default/files/asset/document/HeatingCoolingGuide%20FINAL_9-4-09_0.pdf) recommends setting your thermostat’s temperature down at least 8 degrees in the winter and up at least 4 degrees in the summer while you’re sleeping to help save energy. Follow these energy-saving practices to reduce your heating and cooling bill: - Lower your thermostat to 60 degrees while sleeping in the winter. - Raise your thermostat to 85 degrees when you’re away in the summer. - Use ceiling fans to distribute cool or warm air more efficiently. - Keep your HVAC system operating at peak performance with [preventative maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/). ## Thermostat Settings and Home Comfort Ideal temperatures may vary based on personal preferences. However, you can increase your home’s comfort in various ways, such as addressing drafts and poorly insulated areas that impact comfort. A zoning system can enhance comfort by dividing your home into different temperature zones. Each zone has its own thermostat, allowing personalized temperature control in specific areas.

However, these systems have several components that all need to function perfectly to keep your AC running. One often overlooked component of your AC system is the [condensate drain line](https://www.bonney.com/blog/dealing-with-a-clogged-ac-drain/). This small but crucial pipe removes excess moisture generated during the cooling process. When it becomes clogged, it can lead to a variety of problems for your air conditioner and your home. Let’s explore the signs of a clogged condensate line. ## Key Takeaways: - **Clogged condensate lines can cause serious problems for your AC and home.** From water pooling around your unit and musty odors to reduced cooling efficiency and rising energy bills, ignoring a blocked line can quickly lead to costly repairs and deteriorating HVAC components. - **Early detection is crucial.** Keep an eye out for warning signs like AC system shutdowns, visible water damage, high indoor humidity, or unusual smells. Catching a clog early helps prevent damage to walls, ceilings, floors, and your air conditioner itself. - **Preventative maintenance is your best defense.** Regular HVAC inspections, cleaning the drain line, checking the drain pan, and using float switches or secondary pans can keep your condensate line clear, protect your system, and ensure your AC runs efficiently all summer long. ## What is a Condensate Line? The condensate line is a pipe that connects your indoor AC unit to the outside of your home, carrying away extra moisture produced by your air conditioner. In fact, a majority of Sacramento area homes are equipped with both a primary and secondary condensation line. It is essential to locate their termination points in your home in order to monitor them. Ask your Bonney technician to point them out to you. Because warm air holds more moisture than cold air, your air conditioner collects a great deal of condensation. This water falls into the drain pan and flows outside through the condensate line. However, these lines are damp, dark, and generally very narrow to keep out critters and debris — creating the ideal environment for algae, mold, mildew, and other clogs. It doesn’t take much build-up to prevent water from passing through this line. A clogged line can impact your HVAC performance, damage your unit, and even cause water leaks in your home. ## 8 Signs of Clogged HVAC Condensate Lines Thankfully, it can be easy to catch a clogged condensate line when you know what to look for. Here are the most common signs that your condensate line may be clogged: ### 1. AC System Shutting Down Many modern AC systems have a safety float switch that shuts down the unit when it detects excessive water in the drain pan. If your AC suddenly stops working, a clogged condensate line is a likely culprit. While it might sound inconvenient, this function is vital in protecting your HVAC and your home. If you are unsure of whether or not you have a float switch, we highly recommend having one of our seasoned technicians inspect your system and install one right away ### 2. Visible Water Damage The drain pan and float switch are not foolproof solutions for extra AC condensation. For example, if the drain pan becomes tilted or damaged, the water will bypass the float switch and overflow into your home. This issue is why annual HVAC maintenance is vital early in the spring or summer seasons. Water leaks caused by a clogged condensate line can damage walls, ceilings, and floors near your AC unit. Look for discoloration, warping, or other signs of water damage. In these cases, it is helpful to call a business specializing in both HVAC and plumbing (like Bonney), so you can more easily determine the cause of the excess water and restore functioning in your home. ### 3. Water Pooling Around the AC Unit Indoor HVAC units are often found in active areas of the home (such as pantries, closets, or basements). In these cases, you might catch a condensate line clog early by noticing water pooling near the unit. This is often the first visible clue of a clog. However, this extra water can easily go undetected if your unit is tucked away in your crawl space, attic, or under your stairs. ### 4. Musty or Moldy Smells A clogged line can lead to stagnant water, offering a breeding ground for mold and mildew growth. This moisture can create unpleasant odors surrounding your indoor unit and circulating through your home. In addition to the smell, this mold and mildew growth can compromise indoor air quality, posing health risks to you and your family. It is essential to call a professional when you first encounter that musty smell (or any other signs of damage). In addition to clearing your condensate line, you can help keep your air fresh and clean by [installing a whole-home air purifier into your HVAC system](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/). ### 5. High Indoor Humidity Levels Is your home feeling muggy? Sacramento residents typically enjoy dry, arid summers. However, poor drainage from a clogged condensate line can cause your home’s humidity levels to rise. You might notice excess condensation on home surfaces, clammy skin, or a general feeling of stickiness in your home. ### 6. Reduced Cooling Efficiency Excess moisture from a clogged line can affect the evaporator coil, reducing your AC’s ability to cool effectively. You may notice your air conditioner running more frequently and your home feeling less comfortable than in the past. When you notice your system not working as it should, it is essential to call your HVAC technician at the first signs of a problem. ### 7. High Energy Bills AC usage accounts for a substantial portion of your summer energy bills, and air conditioning can easily hike your bill even higher without the right care. When your drain line clogs and your system is due for maintenance, it will work harder to keep your home comfortable. Naturally, this extra effort will quickly lead to steep increases in your monthly energy bills. It can also cause short cycling (constant starting or stopping of your equipment). Short Cycling is very hard on your system, leading to premature wear and tear on your motors. ### 8. Deteriorating Indoor Unit The long-term impact of a clogged line can do even more damage to your wallet as it deteriorates your HVAC system. Over time, excess moisture from a drain line clog can cause rust and corrosion in your AC components. As these issues worsen, your unit will decline — often requiring costly system repairs or replacements. ## How to Prevent Condensate Line Clogs Preventing clogs in your condensate line is much easier (and more affordable) than dealing with the consequences. Here are some tips to keep your AC system running smoothly: - **Regular Maintenance**: Schedule seasonal HVAC maintenance to ensure all components, including the condensate line, are clean and functioning properly. - **Clean the Drain Line**: If your drain line is especially prone to clogs, you can periodically flush it to remove any extra debris or algae. - **Check the Drain Pan**: During your seasonal maintenance, an expert will inspect the drain pan for signs of standing water or damage and replace it if necessary to avoid issues. - **Extra Precautions**: Most modern HVAC systems have a float switch, as mandated by the California Mechanical Code (CMC). However, if your unit is above ground level (such as in the attic), it may call for a secondary drain pan and float switch to help prevent water damage. A clogged condensate line may seem like a minor issue, but it can quickly create costly damage to your air conditioner and your home. By watching out for the warning signs of a blocked line and keeping up with preventative maintenance, you can save money, keep your unit running smoothly, and stay cool all summer long. ## Bonney HVAC Maintenance in Sacramento Whether you need air conditioning maintenance, repair, or replacement in the greater Sacramento area, the specialists at Bonney are here to help.

[Upgrading your electrical circuits](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) is vital in ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with modern electrical demands. Whether you’re renovating your home, adding new appliances, or simply looking to enhance your electrical system, start by looking at your circuits. Let’s explore everything you need to know about electrical circuit upgrades. ## **Why Upgrade Your Electrical Circuits?** Electrical circuits are at the heart of any home or business, steadily distributing power where needed. However, over time, outdated wiring and insufficient electrical capacity can lead to frequent power outages, flickering lights, and fire hazards. These problems often point to a need for new, upgraded circuits and the benefits they provide, including: - **Safety Improvements**: Older wiring systems may not meet current safety standards, increasing the risk of electrical fires. Naturally, these fires are an especially prominent concern here in California. - **Increased Electrical Capacity**: Modern homes require more power to support appliances, smart devices, EV chargers, and entertainment systems. Before making any major energy changes in your home, it is essential to ensure your electrical system is ready. - **Energy Efficiency**: Upgraded circuits can reduce energy waste and lower electricity bills. - **Compliance with Regulations**: Electrical codes evolve over time, and upgrading ensures your system meets the latest standards. This consideration helps you stay safe and keep your home protected. - **Home Value Enhancement**: A modern electrical system can increase the resale value of your property by supporting value-adds (like [EV charging stations](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/)), helping you pass your home inspection, and limiting your selling concessions. ## **Steps to Upgrade Your Electrical Circuits** Upgrading your electrical circuits requires careful planning and execution. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you navigate the process: ### **1. Hire a Licensed Electrician** While some minor home tweaks can be done DIY, upgrading circuits requires professional expertise. A licensed electrician can safely handle this process, protecting your home and your safety. Hiring a professional also ensures compliance with local codes and safety regulations. ### **2.

For example, if you’re adding an EV charger or new high-power appliances (like air conditioners or electric ovens), you may need additional dedicated circuits to meet this demand. ### **4. Upgrade the Electrical Panel** If your home has an outdated or limited electrical panel, you will first need a new breaker box. This upgrade can improve efficiency and safety. A higher-capacity panel also supports additional circuits and prevents electrical overload. ### **5. Install New Wiring and Outlets** Your electrician may replace faulty wiring and outlets with modern, high-quality materials. Not only are these upgrades essential in supporting additional circuits, but adding new outlets can also reduce reliance on extension cords and improve your home’s convenience. ### **6. Ensure Proper Grounding** Grounding is a protective measure that provides a safe diversion for excess electrical energy, such as from lightning strikes, power surges, or a fault in the system. Without it, this extra energy can surge through your electrical system, causing shocks, damage, and fires. Before finishing your electrical upgrade, an expert will verify that all the new electrical circuits are properly grounded. ### **7. Inspect and Test the System** Once the circuit upgrade is complete, your electrician will conduct thorough testing to ensure everything functions correctly and meets the latest safety standards. They may also provide recommendations for keeping your home safe and protected. ## **Signs That Your Electrical System Needs an Upgrade** Don’t wait to upgrade your panel until it is too late. It’s essential to recognize the warning signs that your circuits are outdated or overloaded, including: - **Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips**: [Tripping breakers](https://www.bonney.com/blog/why-is-my-circuit-breaker-tripping/) should be the exception, not the rule. If your breakers trip often, they are likely struggling to keep up with excessive electrical demand. This is a clear sign that your home needs new circuits. - **Flickering or Dimming Lights**: When your home’s energy system is stretched too thin, it can falter in ways that are hard to miss. When you rule out bulb issues for those flickering lights, these issues indicate loose wiring or an overloaded circuit. - **Burning Smell or Scorch Marks**: Overheated wiring can lead to dangerous electrical fires. Contact a professional immediately if you smell or see any signs of electrical overheating. - **Limited Outlets**: If you rely heavily on extension cords, this may be a subtle sign your home needs additional outlets and, by default, upgraded circuits. - **Old Fuse Box Instead of a Breaker Panel**: While rare, fuse boxes can still be found in Sacramento-area homes. These systems are outdated and less efficient than modern breaker panels. Electrical circuit upgrades are essential for maintaining a safe, efficient, and modern home. You can help prevent fires by looking for these signs in your home, discussing them with friends, or sharing them on your platforms. You never know whose home you might save or how you might help keep your community safer. ## Choose Bonney’s Electricians in Sacramento Bonney’s professional electricians proudly serve homes and businesses in the [greater Sacramento area](https://www.bonney.com/service-area/).

Over time, wear and tear can lead to inefficiencies, safety hazards, and increased energy costs. [Electrical panel restoration](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electric-panel-replacement/) can be a cost-effective and efficient alternative to full replacement or rewiring. Let’s explore the benefits of restoring your electrical panel and why it might be the right choice for your home. ## **Why Electrical Panel Restoration Matters** Electrical panels are designed to last decades, and have traditionally been “out of sight, out of mind.” However, aging components, changing electrical standards, and increased power demand have brought them to the center stage for [local electricians](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/). Recent advancements in electrical panel technology have significantly improved efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Many older homes are transitioning from 100A panels to 200A panels to accommodate growing energy demands, especially with the rise of [EV chargers](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/), more powerful HVAC systems, stronger water heaters, and new solar systems. Restoration involves repairing and upgrading the existing panel rather than replacing it entirely. This process can improve your home’s safety and efficiency while saving you money. ## **Changing Times in Sacramento** Upgraded electrical panels are an especially hot topic in and around Sacramento, as the city works to replace outdated gas-powered utilities with electric alternatives. The [framework for existing building electrification](https://www.cityofsacramento.gov/content/dam/portal/cdd/Planning/Major-Projects/Existing-Building-Electrification/240112%20Existing%20Building%20Electrification%20FAQ.pdf) has its eyes set on all-electric homes and buildings by 2045. This plan aligns with the city’s goal of achieving carbon neutrality while complying with the latest electrical standards. Depending on your home, the all-electric transition may require panel restoration, sub-panel installation, or other retrofits to accommodate new electric appliances. ## **Key Benefits of Electrical Panel Restoration** If you find yourself resisting the changing electrical standards, it is helpful to consider the benefits these panel restorations present for your home, safety, and daily living: ### **Enhanced Safety and Fire Prevention** It is no secret that electrical hazards can cause fires, which are especially prevalent in California. [FEMA’s most recent estimates](https://www.usfa.fema.gov/statistics/residential-fires/electrical.html) suggest 23,700 annual US fires are caused by electrical malfunction. Over time, electrical panels can develop loose connections, corrosion, and outdated components that pose fire hazards. Restoration ensures that all parts are secure, clean, updated, and functioning properly, reducing the risk of electrical fires and shocks. ### **Energy Cost Savings** Replacing an electrical panel can be expensive, especially if full home rewiring is involved. Restoration is a more affordable alternative that extends the life of your existing panel without the high costs of a replacement. A restored panel operates more efficiently, reducing energy waste and lowering electricity bills. ### **Increased Electrical Capacity** A panel’s electrical demand rises as Sacramento homes incorporate more electric-powered appliances, smart devices, and EV chargers. Outdated panels may be unable to safely keep up with these upgrades. Restoration can include [adding new circuits or upgrading breakers](https://www.bonney.com/blog/electrical-circuit-upgrades/) to accommodate modern energy needs. ### **Extended Panel Lifespan** Regular maintenance and restoration can significantly extend the lifespan of your electrical panel, delaying the need for a costly replacement or rewiring service. ### **Reliable Home Energy** Especially in older Sacramento-area homes, electrical issues can lead to frequent breaker tripping, light flickering, and power outages. A restored panel minimizes these disruptions, ensuring a stable and reliable power supply. ### **Eco-Friendly Solution** Restoration reduces electronic waste by refurbishing existing components rather than replacing them. Upgrading breakers and improving electrical connections can also enhance your overall system performance, reducing your home’s energy waste (and lowering your electric bill). ### **Electrical Code Compliance** Electrical codes evolve to improve safety standards. Restoring your panel ensures you stay compliant, preventing potential safety hazards, legal issues, and insurance gaps. Additionally, old, outdated, and dangerous electrical panel issues will certainly come up on your home’s inspection report when you are ready to sell. This issue can leave you paying for a new panel in your selling concessions. So, it makes the most sense to proactively update your panel—allowing you to enjoy the short-term and long-term savings it provides. ## **Signs That Your Electrical Panel Needs Restoration** While you may have until 2045 to upgrade your home’s electrical system, your breaker box may be a ticking time bomb. Look out for warning signs that indicate your panel may need immediate attention: - **Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips**: If your [breakers regularly trip](https://www.bonney.com/blog/why-is-my-circuit-breaker-tripping/), it may be due to worn-out components or an overloaded system. - **Flickering or Dimming Lights**: As mentioned above, frequent light flickering or dimming can indicate an issue with your electrical supply. - **Burning Smell**: Overheated wiring can lead to dangerous electrical fires, which are often signaled by burning smells, scorch marks, or yellowing electrical components - **Buzzing or Clicking Sounds**: Unusual noises from the breaker box may be signs of faulty connections or aging breakers. - **Limited Outlets and Power Supply**: Older Sacramento homes were built before there was an extensive need for [power outlets](https://www.bonney.com/blog/8-signs-your-power-outlet-needs-to-be-replaced/). If your home relies heavily on extension cords and power strips, your panel is due for an upgrade. - **Rust or Corrosion**: Moisture exposure can cause corrosion and rust, causing trouble for your electrical system. A panel restoration can address these issues at their source before they cause problems for your home. ## Sacramento Electrical Panel Service from Bonney When you need a reliable panel restoration service, Bonney is here to help.

When you have homeowners insurance and your HVAC system needs to be replaced, you’ll likely want to know if the insurance will cover the costs of a new HVAC system. Though homeowners insurance has multiple restrictions on when it will pay for a new system, it’s important to know when it will cover the expenses of [HVAC replacement services](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/). ## When Will California Homeowners Insurance Usually Cover a New HVAC System? If you have a homeowner’s insurance policy and your central HVAC system is damaged, your policy may cover the costs of replacing it with a new model. Typically, a homeowner’s insurance policy will only pay for a new model if your AC was damaged due to a covered disaster or peril. For example, central HVAC damage due to fire, hail, high winds, fallen trees, vandalism, and theft are often covered by homeowners insurance. After you file a claim and are approved, your homeowners insurance will pay to replace your unit. Keep in mind that most of these policies will only pay up to your coverage limit, so if a new HVAC system costs more than your limit, you’ll have to pay for some of it yourself. Additionally, it’s important to review your homeowners insurance policy to see what sort of damage it covers, as many policies don’t include coverage for floods or earthquakes. ## Will California Homeowners Insurance Pay to Replace My Air Conditioner? However, when you damage your HVAC unit on your own or it gets damaged due to something not listed in your homeowner’s insurance policy, your provider will probably not pay. Since homeowners insurance usually only insures policyholders from unexpected dangers, it won’t pay for repair and replacement costs when you’ve damaged your HVAC system or if it’s reached the end of its lifespan. If you have homeowners insurance, don’t expect it to cover wear and tear, owner neglect, or certain natural disasters like flooding. ## Are There Other Ways to Cover Your Home’s HVAC System in California? While homeowners insurance won’t always cover the costs of a new HVAC system, you have a couple of ways to reduce the expenses of replacing your system. For instance, home warranty insurance plans will cover major home systems and appliances, such as your HVAC system. Unlike homeowner’s insurance, home warranty insurance isn’t required by most lenders and will usually cover the costs of repairs and replacement services when your HVAC system is damaged due to standard wear and tear. Another way to afford the costs of a new HVAC system is with financing services from a trusted HVAC company. With financing services, you can receive affordable HVAC install services and not have to worry about going without cooling or heat. Though financing services aren’t an insurance policy, they help offset the costs of a new HVAC system by providing you with a loan. Instead of making you pay thousands of dollars all at once to buy a new system, financing services offset those costs and allow you to make lower long-term payments. ## Key Takeaways: - **Homeowners’ insurance only covers HVAC replacement for specific disasters.** Damage from fire, hail, high winds, fallen trees, vandalism, or theft is often covered, but normal wear and tear or owner neglect usually isn’t. - **Standard policies won’t cover routine repairs or aging units.** If your HVAC system fails due to age or improper maintenance, your homeowners’ insurance likely won’t pay for a replacement. - **Alternative options exist to manage replacement costs.** Home warranty plans can cover wear-and-tear repairs, and financing services from HVAC companies let you install a new system without paying the full cost upfront. ## Choose Bonney for New HVAC System Installation and Replacement Services in Sacramento If your HVAC system needs to be replaced and you’re looking for new HVAC service near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, Bonney can help.

As you decide between smoke alarm and smoke detector installation services, it’s important you know how these devices work and their primary differences. With more information about these devices, you’ll be prepared to pick the right one for your home or business, ensuring you can react to a fire as fast as possible. ## What Is a Smoke Detector? A smoke detector is a sensing device that connects to a fire alarm system and has a built-in sensor designed to detect smoke. Once the smoke detector senses smoke, it will send a signal to the fire alarm system, with the system then activating an audible alarm. Due to their design, smoke detectors rely on their connection to the fire alarm control panel to [alert people to smoke](https://www.bonney.com/2021/07/check-smoke-detectors/). ## What Is a Smoke Alarm? A smoke alarm is a self-contained alarm device with a sensor designed to detect smoke and a component that can make noise. When a smoke alarm detects smoke, it will make a loud noise to alert anyone nearby to the threat of a fire. The most defining feature of these devices is their stand-alone quality, as they can make noise independently and aren’t connected to a larger system. ## The Difference Between Smoke Detectors and Smoke Alarms The main difference between smoke alarms and smoke detectors is that smoke alarms are self-contained while smoke detectors are connected to a fire alarm system. Unlike a smoke detector’s ability to set off an alarm system throughout an entire building even when smoke is only currently in a single room, a smoke alarm will only go off when it detects smoke near it. For example, if you have a smoke alarm in your kitchen and one in your bedroom, smoke in the kitchen will only cause the kitchen alarm to go off and not the alarm in your bedroom. In contrast, a smoke detector’s connection to a fire alarm control panel allows them to make everyone inside a building aware of a fire through a building-wide alarm system. ## Do I Need a Smoke Detector or Smoke Alarm? If you’re trying to decide between smoke detector or smoke alarm installation services, the main consideration you’ll need to take into account is the size of your home or business. Smoke alarms work best when a building is small enough for everyone inside to easily hear the alarm when it detects smoke. Since these alarms aren’t connected to a system, they don’t typically automatically alert authorities to a fire, requiring someone to call the fire department to make them aware. As a result, they’re a good choice for standard sized-homes and apartments. Generally, you’ll want a smoke detector if you have a large home or business facility. Due to their connection to a system, a smoke detector will alert everyone in a building to a fire, even if they’re multiple floors away or in a separate wing. Smoke detectors will also often send an automatic alert to fire authorities whenever they detect smoke. Their proactiveness and ability to alert everyone inside a building make them a good choice for businesses, schools, and multistory apartment complexes. ## Key Takeaways: - Smoke alarms work best for standard homes and apartments where occupants can hear the local alarm. Smoke detectors suit large homes, businesses, and multi-story buildings where building-wide notification and automatic emergency response are essential. - System-connected smoke detectors can automatically alert fire departments and activate building safety protocols like shutting down HVAC systems. Standalone alarms require manual calls to emergency services and only alert people within hearing range. - Smoke alarms are self-contained standalone units that detect smoke and sound their own built-in alarm locally. Smoke detectors are sensors connected to a building-wide fire alarm system that triggers alerts throughout the entire structure. ## Choose Bonney for Smoke Detector Installation in Sacramento If you’re looking for smoke alarm or smoke detector installation services in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, turn to Bonney. Our certified electricians can help you decide if smoke detectors or alarms are right for your home and install them for you.

These rechargeable home battery systems can help your home become energy-independent and receive power when your main grid loses power. As you consider investing in a Powerwall, you should know the main ways they can benefit your home. ## How Do Tesla Powerwalls Work? [Tesla Powerwalls](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/tesla-powerwall-installation/) draw power primarily from solar panels at your home, but they can also use main grid power to charge. As the Powerwalls draw power from solar panels, they’ll distribute the generated energy to appliances in your home and store the excess energy in their battery. After the Powerwall battery is full, it can send any excess electricity your battery generates back to the grid. The energy stored in their batteries can be used to power your home following a power outage or at night when your solar panels can’t generate power. ## 5 Reasons a Tesla Powerwall Is Worth the Investment Due to the Powerwall’s design and power storage capabilities, you can expect the Powerwall’s costs to be well worth the investment. From seamless backup during emergencies to reduced power costs, Tesla Powerwalls offer several advantages to homeowners and businesses. Before you make a decision, learn more about the top five Powerwall benefits below: ### 1. Seamless Backup When the Grid Goes Down Powerwalls give you the chance to receive a seamless backup system that provides backup power to your home when the main grid fails. Since Powerwalls primarily draw power from solar energy, they can continue to draw on power from solar panels following a grid outage. When you enable Storm Watch, Powerwalls can also prevent power outages by communicating with the National Weather Service. If the National Weather Service anticipates severe weather, the Powerwall will prioritize charging and send you a push notification. ### 2. Clean Power for Your Home or Business Alongside offering seamless backup capabilities when the power goes down, Tesla Powerwalls can provide a source of clean power to your home or business when the main grid is functioning. While you can charge your Powerwall with main grid power, they also easily pair with Tesla and other competitors’ solar panels. By using solar panels to charge your batteries and power your home, you can lower your carbon footprint and power your home with greener power. ### 3. Reduction of Energy Costs Since Powerwalls generate their own energy from solar panels and seamlessly pair with your main grid, they allow you to reduce your energy costs. For example, the Powerwall app gives you the option to switch to battery power over grid power at scheduled times of the day. This ability to use battery power means you can set your Powerwall to provide energy during peak hours of the day when your main grid charges more for electricity. As a result, you can reduce your main grid energy consumption and lower your electricity bills. ### 4. Long-Lasting Warranties Powerwalls feature a decade-long extended warranty. In the Powerwall warranty, you’ll receive a guarantee that your Powerwall will have at least a 70% energy retention rate and be defect-free for 10 years after installation. These warranties ensure Powerwall buyers can invest in Powerwalls without worrying about them breaking down early or not retaining enough energy. ### 5. Easily Install New Powerwalls If Your Energy Needs Change Another benefit of Powerwall systems is how easy they are to upgrade. For example, many homeowners and businesses don’t use Powerwalls as a comprehensive backup source. Instead, they’ll only invest in enough Powerwalls to power their batteries fully during the day and provide green energy at night. If the homeowner or business decides to use Powerwalls to power their home during a grid outage, new Powerwalls can be easily installed in existing Powerwall systems to increase the amount of backup power they can store. ## Key Takeaways - **Reliable Emergency Power**: The Tesla Powerwall provides backup during grid outages by storing excess solar energy, ensuring a continuous power supply to your home. - **Clean Energy Source**: By integrating with solar panels, the Powerwall allows homeowners to utilize renewable energy, reducing reliance on the grid and lowering carbon footprints. - **Cost Savings**: Utilizing stored solar energy during peak electricity rates can lead to significant savings on energy bills, especially when combined with time-of-use billing structures. - **Long-Term Investment**: While the initial cost is substantial, the combination of energy savings, environmental benefits, and enhanced energy independence makes the Powerwall a worthwhile investment for many homeowners. ## Choose Bonney for Tesla Powerwall Installation in Sacramento If you’re looking for Tesla Powerwall installation services near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, turn to Bonney.

While ceiling fans are perfect for homeowners wanting to conserve energy, they can struggle to do so if they start to fail. To get the benefits of using a ceiling fan, you’ll likely want to know the seven main signs you need a new ceiling fan installation and replacement. ## 1. Your Ceiling Fan Wobbles Since a wobbling or rocking ceiling fan can indicate that the parts responsible for securing the fan have broken or are in the process of breaking, it’s important to stop using the fan until a professional can inspect it. During an inspection, an Electrical Technician can see if your ceiling fan needs to be replaced or if the issue is repairable. For example, excess dust build-up, misaligned blades, or loose screws can usually be fixed, while broken parts typically mean the fan should be replaced. ## 2. Your Fan Is Rotating Slowly If you’ve noticed your fan isn’t rotating as fast as it used to, it’s likely struggling to circulate air efficiently. One potential reason for a slower fan could be worn-out components. Other possible issues that could result in diminished speed include a faulty control switch or a damaged capacitor. If any of these problems are the cause behind your fan rotating slowly, you’ll need an electrician to inspect the fan and potentially replace it. ## 3. You Have a Noisy Ceiling Fan When a fan starts making annoying noises, you’ll probably need a replacement. Since a noisy ceiling fan is usually a symptom of broken or worn-out components, an electrician will need to inspect it. In their inspection, they’ll check for safety issues and give you a recommendation on whether you’ll need to repair or [replace the fan](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ceiling-fan-installation/). ## 4. Your Ceiling Fan Is Old, and You Want to Lower Your Energy Bills Homeowners interested in improving their home’s energy efficiency can do so by replacing an older fan with a new one. Since newer fans often come with [ENERGY STAR certifications and higher ratings](https://www.energystar.gov/products/ceiling_fans), they can help you lower your energy use and save money on your electricity bills. Ceiling fans with a higher energy efficiency rating can also help you go green, as their greater efficiency and durability results in reduced greenhouse gas emissions and less waste. ## 5. You Want to Improve Your Home’s Look Even when an older fan is performing well, you might want to look for a replacement if you’re renovating your home or trying to give it a more modern look. Since you can’t fix an out-of-style ceiling fan that clashes with your home’s appearance, it’s time to hire an electrician for [ceiling fan replacement services](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ceiling-fan-installation/). You might also want to talk to the electrician about any specific styles for a ceiling fan you’re looking for and if they recommend any specific brands. ## 6. Your Ceiling Fan Doesn’t Turn On or Off If a ceiling fan doesn’t turn on or off, its internal wiring might be at fault or its motor could be dead. Due to the potential for a serious electrical issue, you’ll only want to [trust an electrician](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) to inspect the fan. You’ll likely need to replace the fan if you have a dead motor or the internal wiring is at fault. ## 7. You Keep Having to Repair the Fan If your ceiling fan is constantly breaking and needing repairs, it could be best to just cut your losses and purchase a new one. While a repair will cost less than a full replacement, constant repairs can add up over time and end up costing more than paying for a replacement sooner would have. Instead of dealing with an untrustworthy ceiling fan, save your money and time by [investing in a new one](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ceiling-fan-installation/). ## Key Takeaways: • A wobbling fan signals broken or failing mounting hardware and requires immediate professional inspection to prevent safety hazards. Stop using the fan until an electrician determines if repairs can fix the issue or if replacement is necessary. • Slow rotation, strange noises, and fans that won’t turn on or off typically indicate worn components, faulty wiring, or motor failure. These problems usually require full replacement rather than simple fixes. • Upgrading to newer ENERGY STAR certified models reduces electricity costs and environmental impact through improved efficiency and durability. ## Choose Bonney for Ceiling Fan Installation Services in Sacramento If your ceiling fan is struggling or you want to improve your home’s energy efficiency or appearance, turn to Bonney for ceiling fan replacement and installation services.

Think of it as a freeway for your airflow. Issues can arise when dust, dirt, and debris accumulate inside your duct systems. This slows the air and causes your HVAC system to run longer than required. This increased strain can decrease the life expectancy of the HVAC system and can increase energy costs. Although this system is essential to a comfortable home environment, many homeowners know little about ductwork or what to do once it’s damaged. Let’s dive deeper into the subject and review a few important facts regarding ductwork. ## What Happens if Ductwork Is Damaged? Because your ducts are out of sight, they’re usually not on your mind. Fortunately, you can [identify damaged ductwork](https://www.bonney.com/2016/10/get-ducts-row/) by looking out for the following tell-tale signs that you need to have your ducts inspected: - **Weak Airflow:** A damaged system usually leaks heated air into the walls, crawlspace, or attic. This leakage can result in poor airflow, preventing air from reaching living spaces. It can also raise your energy bills, as your system must stay on longer to heat your home. - **Dustier Home:** Dust and debris from gaps or cracks will often settle on surfaces throughout your home, creating more dust to clean. If you notice you’re dusting more often, the ductwork probably needs repair. ## Can You Repair HVAC Ductwork? Ductwork can be repaired, but it isn’t a DIY project you should consider undertaking anytime soon, especially if you don’t have any experience with HVAC systems. Remember, ductwork runs throughout the entire house, and locating the origin point for any damage is challenging for a novice. Additionally, the system is delicate and needs to be precisely balanced and insulated to ensure its efficiency. For these reasons, it’s recommended that you enlist the assistance of a ductwork expert. ## How to Repair Heating & Air Conditioning Ductwork As a professional repairs your home’s ductwork, they should follow the basic steps below: - Perform a visual inspection to identify rips, snags, tears, or evidence of rodent activity. - Determine if ductwork can be repaired or if it should be replaced - If repairable, seal ducts with approved materials for the project. - If the duct is not repairable, you will want to replace the damaged section or the entire duct, depending on the severity. - If rodent activity is present, your professional should recommend getting pest control out immediately before any repairs or work are done, as you don’t want the repairs or new ductwork to be damaged again. ## Pricing for Ductwork There are a lot of variables that go into pricing that your professional will go over with you. These may vary from minor repairs to full replacement of the entire duct system. Other factors to consider: the size of the home, the efficiency of equipment, air flow challenges within the home, etc… If you’re considering having your ducts repaired or replaced, review the main factors that determine the price below: - **House Size:** As you can probably guess, larger homes have a larger price tag for repairing or replacing ductwork. The costs are much lower for mobile homes. - **Location:** When a replacement is needed, cost is impacted by the space in the home where the ductwork will be installed. The overall project cost will increase if the space is difficult to access. For example, crawlspaces are more expensive than basements and attics. - **Materials:** The most common ductwork materials are aluminum, polyester, fiberglass, galvanized steel, insulated flexible ducts, and non-insulated flexible ducts. The material you choose will be a cost-determining factor. - **Vent Installation:** To ensure the airflow is moving through every space in the home, you may need to install additional vents. Cost varies depending on size and type. - **Permits:** Your city or town may require you to obtain a permit before beginning work on the ducts. Check with the municipality to find out if a permit must be purchased. ## How Many Years Does Ductwork Last? A properly installed, well-maintained duct system has the potential to last 20-40 years. Regular maintenance on your heating and cooling system, including ductwork, can help increase the longevity of your system. ## Key Takeaways: - **Indicators of Duct Damage**: Signs such as reduced airflow, increased dust accumulation, and higher energy bills may suggest issues like leaks or blockages in the duct system. - **Professional Repair Recommendations**: Due to the complexity and importance of ductwork, it’s advisable to consult a qualified HVAC technician for repairs. - **Repair Process Overview**: Technicians typically conduct visual inspections, assess whether ducts can be repaired or need replacement, and address any pest-related damage before proceeding. - **Cost Influencing Factors**: Repair or replacement costs can vary based on home size, duct accessibility, and the extent of damage. **Importance of Timely Maintenance**: Regular inspection and maintenance of ductwork can prevent efficiency losses and extend the lifespan of HVAC systems. ## Choose Bonney for HVAC Duct Repair Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for HVAC duct repair services near you in Sacramento or [the surrounding areas](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/service-area/), turn to Bonney.

Watching television, keeping food cool in the refrigerator and charging our phones – just to name a few common niceties of modern life – would be impossible without electricity. That is why it is important to ensure power is always running smoothly in your home. If you notice any of these common problems, it is time to call an electrician. ## **Exposed Wires** Exposed wires are common after a do-it-yourself renovation, but they pose a [major fire and electrocution hazard](https://homesecurity.net/home-safety/wiring-safety/) and should not be ignored. If you do see an exposed wire, you should turn off the connection to the affected circuit before attempting to fix it. You can use electrical tape on the exposed area or have an electrician splice and cover or attach the wires to structural framing to prevent fraying. ## **Flickering Lights** Some types of lights, such as fluorescent or LED, are more prone to flickering than others. In other cases, your light bulb may be loose in the socket or the light switch is not properly connected with the bulb. If you notice flickering lights when you turn on an appliance with high wattage, it may be because of a [voltage fluctuation](https://blog.1000bulbs.com/home/flickering-lights-and-when-you-need-to-worry) or loose wiring. Electricity typically flows into homes at 120 volts. You can check the voltage using a voltmeter device. If your readings are about 125 volts or more, you should call an electrician. They may suggest buying 130-volt light bulbs, which can handle a higher voltage level. Loose wiring can cause a fire. Check for it by shutting off the affected light at the circuit breaker and removing the fixture. If it looks loose or insecure, have an electrician evaluate your home’s electrical wiring. ## **High Electric Bills** Electric bills tend to fluctuate depending on the season – for example, in California, you will likely pay more for electricity in the summer because you will need to use your air conditioner more. However, if your bill is consistently high, you may be wasting electricity without knowing it. You can lower your monthly payments by repairing damaged circuits or wiring. [Large appliances](https://www.statefarm.com/simple-insights/residence/are-power-surges-damaging-your-electronics), like refrigerators and A/C units, can cause power surges as their motors turn on and off, which can also cause your electric bill to spike. You can help prevent this by setting the temperature to a level that will prevent them from frequently cycling. ## **Strange Smell** If you notice a burning or fishy odor coming from your outlets or switches, turn off the power at the circuit breaker immediately. The smell could be a wiring or overload problem that may cause an [electrical fire](https://www.angieslist.com/articles/what-are-signs-home-electrical-problems.htm). Contact an electrician right away to repair the issue. ## **Tripping Circuit Breaker** When the lights and appliances along a single circuit turn off at the same time, it is usually because the [circuit breaker has tripped](https://www.thespruce.com/why-circuit-breakers-trip-1824676). They are designed to shut off power when any of the following hazardous situations occur: - **Ground fault –** This happens when a hot wire encounters a metal wall box or wood framing members – posing an electric shock risk in spaces with high moisture levels, like bathrooms and kitchens. Installing [ground fault circuit interrupter](https://www.thespruce.com/addressing-ground-faults-4118975) (GFCI) outlets, which detect ground faults and shut off power to the affected circuit, can help prevent fires and electrocution. - **Overloaded circuit –** If too many appliances or light fixtures are working at once, the circuit wires heat up, causing the breaker mechanism to trip and turn off the flow of electricity. Older homes are more prone to this problem, as they were not designed to handle the wattage required for modern appliances. In this instance, you will need to add a circuit or upgrade your electrical system to accommodate the higher wattage. - **Short circuit –** A “hard short” is when a hot wire (black) touches another hot or neutral (white) wire. In other cases, a [short circuit](https://www.thespruce.com/what-causes-short-circuits-4118973) is caused by a wiring problem in an appliance or device plugged into an outlet along the circuit. Call an electrician to fix short circuits located in switches, outlets or breaker boxes. ## **Premier Electrical Repair, Maintenance and Installation in Sacramento, CA** Electricity keeps many things in your home running but if the system malfunctions, it could put your safety at risk.

With the right financing plan attached to the right services, you can ensure the costs of the home services keep you within budget while delivering long-term savings. As you look for the best electrical, plumbing, or HVAC services, take a moment to review the top five money-saving services that you can finance. ## 1. Custom Greywater System Installation As most Californians know, water conservation is crucial to both the costs of their water bills and the good of the wider community. One of the best ways you can save water and reduce your monthly water bill is with a [custom Greywater system](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-conservation/). Unlike the standard plumbing systems that let water flow into your sewer system after its first use, Greywater systems repurpose water from your sinks, laundry, and showers. A Greywater system lets you reuse/repurpose that water for landscaping or gardening purposes. As a result, you can lower your home’s water consumption and keep your yard or garden looking great without wasting water. Besides lowering your water bill, these systems can also raise your home’s retail value, making it a cost-effective investment for many homeowners. ## 2. New AC Installation As an air conditioner ages, it will use more energy and need more frequent repairs. If your air conditioner is 10-15 years old or older, it’s probably starting to break down, and you may want to consider investing in a new one. Though a new AC will cost more than a repair, it can deliver [some serious savings](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/). For example, a new AC will use energy more efficiently, leading to lower utility bills. A new AC will also need fewer repairs, meaning you’ll save money on maintenance costs. Additionally, you can often find [many rebates and tax credits](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/) for qualifying systems that lower the costs of purchasing one. ## 3. LED Lighting Installation If your home still runs on incandescent lights, it’s time to switch over to LEDs. These lights come with several benefits over incandescent options, as LED lights offer greater durability, longer-lasting lifespans, and lower electricity costs. While LED lights have higher initial costs, they consume less energy, meaning they can save you money in the long run. LED lights’ durability and long lifespan also make them a cost-effective choice. Since they last roughly around 17 years on average, you won’t have to pay for new bulbs for over a decade. Their durability also means they’ll be less likely to break prematurely, helping you save money on the costs of replacement bulbs. ## 4. Tankless Water Heater Installation Homeowners that use an old standard water heater with a tank may want to switch over to a tankless model. Since Sacramento tank water heaters typically last [10-15 years](https://www.bonney.com/2020/06/water-heater-replacement-signs/) before they need replacement, any homeowner with a water heater in this age range should consider replacing their old model with a tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters don’t store water in a tank. Instead, they’ll only heat the water when you need it. Due to their tankless design, a tankless water heater can save money on energy costs since they won’t have to waste energy keeping a tank filled with gallons of water warm. ## 5. EV Charger Installation If you have an electric vehicle, installing an EV charger at your home can help you reduce your spending on electricity for your vehicle. With an EV charger installed, you can charge your vehicle at home rather than paying for up-charged electricity at public stations. In addition to saving you money, at-home EV chargers give EV owners greater convenience and can increase a home’s resale value. When you want to invest in an at-home EV charger, a Bonney electrician can install a [ClipperCreek Level 1 ESVE or Level 2 ESVE charger](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/) or a Tesla charger at your home. The electrician can also ensure your new charger meets your charging needs and provides the lowest operating costs. ## Choose Bonney for Money Saving Services and Financing in California If you’re looking for home service financing near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, turn to Bonney.

While you might be tempted to switch your AC on and hope it works, it’s best to perform a few checks and AC tune-ups before you do. Ensure your AC is ready for spring by following our top five tips. ## 1. Check Your Outdoor Unit and Remove Any Debris During the winter, lots of debris, such as broken branches and dead leaves, can build up around (and potentially inside!) your outdoor AC unit. If you don’t remove the debris and clear out any potential obstruction in or around your unit, your AC could struggle to cool your home efficiently. Besides looking for debris, it’s also important to check that no small animals have started living in your unit or created nests. Before kicking your AC on, go outside and check your outdoor unit, removing any debris inside the unit or close to it. Next, look for small animals and nests. If you see any animals inside your unit, you’ll want to call animal control to remove the animals for you or give advice to you about what to do. Additionally, if you placed any covers over your HVAC unit over the winter, you should take them off and store them away until you shut down your AC unit again. ## 2. Clean Your Air Ducts Another simple way to prepare your AC for spring is to clean your air ducts. Since your air ducts need to be clear to deliver air into your home, you’ll want to check that nothing is inside them or over their vents that could obstruct airflow. Besides clearing out any obstructions, you should clean your air ducts to ensure no fungi, mold, mildew, or other potentially toxic substances inside them will get in your home’s air. To begin cleaning your air ducts, take the vent covers off the ducts and wash them off. If you notice any obstructions inside your ducts, remove them. Next, tap your ductwork’s sides to loosen any debris or dust from the sides of the ductwork. After the dirt is loose, use a vacuum hose attachment to suck up dust and other smaller debris inside your ducts. To finish, simply use a damp paper towel to wipe off the ductwork’s walls, placing the vent covers back on when you’re done. ## 3. Look for Cracks and Leaks A leaking or cracked HVAC system won’t be able to perform at its best. Since these signs of damage can reduce your AC’s efficiency, cause corrosion inside your unit, and even lead to full breakdowns, you’ll want to check for them. If you spot any leaks or cracks, [contact an HVAC professional](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) to make any repairs. ## 4. Replace Your Air Filter Your AC’s air filter plays an essential role in your HVAC system, as it prevents dust, debris, and other contaminants or obstructions from entering your HVAC system. However, when you don’t replace your air filter at its recommended intervals, it can clog and obstruct airflow into your AC, resulting in poor performance and inefficient cooling. Since you might not have replaced your AC’s air filter over the winter, it’s a good idea to start the spring with a new filter. Fortunately, replacing an air filter is simple. All you have to do is check the size of your current filter, purchase a new filter in that size, and swap them out. After you replace your old filter, remember to continue to swap out your filters [every one to three months](https://www.bonney.com/2021/07/how-often-should-i-change-my-home-air-filters/). ## 5. Schedule a Professional AC Inspection Though you can do a lot on your own to prepare your AC for spring, nothing beats a professional inspection. When an HVAC professional inspects your home, they’ll be more likely to find potential issues than an untrained homeowner. Whether your AC just [needs a tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) or requires more extensive repairs, an HVAC professional can handle all your AC’s needs to make sure it’s ready for spring. ## Turn to Bonney for AC Maintenance Services and Repairs in California If you live in Sacramento, Concord, or the surrounding areas and want to prepare your home’s AC for warmer weather, turn to Bonney for professional HVAC inspection and maintenance services.

While you may be enjoying the tame warm weather, summer will bring more severe heat and higher energy bills. Now is the perfect time to make sure your AC system is set up for savings this summer. These 9 tips from Bonney can help you save money on your summer AC costs while keeping your home comfortable. ## Tip 1: Ensure Proper Refrigerant Levels Every air conditioner has an exact level of needed refrigerant based on your home, system, and area. Too much refrigerant (overcharged) can damage your air conditioner. Conversely, low refrigerant levels can cause ineffective AC and high energy bills. Low refrigerant is common in both new and older systems. For more details, you can read our [guide to low AC refrigerant here](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/low-ac-refrigerant/). ## Tip 2: Energy-Efficient Thermostat Settings What is the best [thermostat setting for summer](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/thermostat-settings/)? The best AC setting for you may vary based on your preferences and your area. To save energy (and money), the Department of Energy recommends turning your thermostat on the highest comfortable settings in the summer. ## Tip 3: Shade and Landscaping If you are considering landscaping services, optimizing your home’s shade can help you save money on air conditioning costs. The [EPA](https://www.epa.gov/heatislands/using-trees-and-vegetation-reduce-heat-islands) suggests that trees and vegetation can help reduce peak summer temperatures by 2–9°F. As City of Trees, this is a fitting solution for homes and [businesses](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-commercial-services/) in California. ## Tip 4: AC Maintenance Air conditioning maintenance can help you keep your system working efficiently and effectively. When your system is dirty and lacking manufacturer-recommended care, it will need to work harder to function. This extra work leads to higher energy bills and a lower system life expectancy. Thankfully, these troubles can be easily avoided with [annual AC maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/). ## Tip 5: Pair Your AC with Your Ceiling Fan While ceiling fans and AC systems are both effective individual cooling methods, combining them can make your home more comfortable and efficient. Turning your fan on will enhance the effects of your AC system. [The Department of Energy suggests](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/home-cooling-systems/fans-cooling) that you can raise your AC thermostat by 4℉ without any change in your comfort levels when you switch on the ceiling fan. This small change can create serious savings on your energy bills. Remember: your ceiling fans do not lower the temperature of your rooms. They make you ***feel colder*** by creating a windchill effect. ## Tip 6: Programmable Thermostats When your home is empty during the day, you can use your programmable thermostat to save money on your AC costs. The [Department of Energy](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/thermostats) suggests lowering the thermostat of your empty home by 7°-10°F. This small adjustment can save you 10% on your HVAC energy costs. Best of all, your programmable thermostat can ensure your indoor temperature is comfortable again when you arrive home. ## Tip 7: Replace Your Air Filters Clogged home air filters create a thick barrier between your AC system and your indoor air. As your air conditioner struggles to push air through blocked filters, it will cause your energy bills to rise. Overworking your AC system can also damage your unit. Thankfully, this issue offers an easy fix. Replace or clean your air filters regularly to keep your AC costs low. ## Tip 8: Offset Extra Energy Usage If you are looking for additional ways to save on your summer energy bills, consider offsetting the energy impact of your AC system. Energy costs so much in the summer because usage tends to rise. Higher demands and increased usage in your home can naturally lead to cost increases. You can offset the extra energy you use for your AC system by cutting back in other areas of your home: - Unplug chargers, appliances, and televisions when they are not in use - Switch to [LED lighting](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/led-lighting/) - Wait to run your dishwasher and washing machine until you acquire full loads - Turn off lights and fans when you are not using them - Use the energy-efficient settings on your appliances When you cut down on your energy waste, you can save money and lower your carbon footprint. ## Tip 9: AC Repairs and Upgrades Putting off [AC repairs](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) can lead to poor system performance and worsened unit damage. Additionally, older AC systems in need of replacement can use more energy while producing less effective results. Implementing the repairs, upgrades, and [new AC installations](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/) you need can help you cut down on AC energy consumption. You can compound these savings with [rebates, tax credits](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/), [coupons](https://www.bonney.com/coupons-specials/), and a higher home resale value. ## Bonney AC Repair, Replacement, and Maintenance Services Are you ready to stay comfortable and save money this summer?

This interest has also raised some questions and concerns about popular air cleaning methods—particularly UVC light installations. The air quality experts at Bonney are here to help. Bonney has been installing [germicidal UVC lamps](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) in California for years. Our professionals began offering this service only after careful consideration, extensive research, and professional training. We have decided to share our insight to help debunk misinformation circulating about UVC lamps and air quality. ## **How do Germicidal UVC Lamps Improve Air Quality?** Germicidal UVC lamps can be installed in ductwork or plenum to [improve air quality](https://www.bonney.com/2020/08/10-indoor-air-quality-tips/). As explained by the [IES Committee](https://media.ies.org/docs/standards/IES-CR-2-20-V1-6d.pdf), these installations work by destroying the proteins inside of harmful microorganisms. UVC light is composed of short, high-energy wavelengths. These photons target the DNA and RNA in microbes. In a photochemical reaction, UVC light breaks down the composition of viruses and bacteria, rendering them non-infectious. This process helps clean the air by neutralizing these harmful airborne particles. ## **Are Germicidal UVC Lamps Safe?** Many homes and businesses want to provide reliable clean air, but not at the expense of harmful UV exposure. So are germicidal UVC lamps safe? The short answer is yes—when installed and used properly, germicidal UVC lamps are completely safe. Not only are they safe to use, but they also promote health and safety by killing harmful germs and bacteria. However, direct and extended human exposure to UVC lights can be harmful. This is why it is crucial to have an experienced professional install your germicidal UVC lamp. This safety consideration is also why installing them directly into HVAC distribution systems is so practical—these lights actively and effectively clean the air while remaining far from direct human contact. ## **Are All UV Lights Effective?** With the recent popularity of UV light sanitation, some consumers have fallen victim to misleading sales involving fake or ineffective UV lights. Why can online retailers get away with selling ineffective UV lights? While you may be *technically* buying UV lighting, it does not necessarily mean that it will provide effective sanitation—not all UV lights work the same. Ultraviolet (UV) light exists on a spectrum that includes UVA, UVB, and UVC lighting. - **UVA Lights**: On the UVA end of the spectrum, you will find blacklight bulbs and tanning bed bulbs. These bulbs can provide very mild levels of sanitation. According to the [FDA](https://www.fda.gov/), UVA bulbs are roughly 1000x less effective than any other light on the UV spectrum when it comes to killing certain viruses. Extended exposure to these lights is also linked to negative health impacts, such as skin aging and skin cancer. - **UVB Lights**: UVB bulbs are moderately effective in sanitation—but less so than UVC lights. Additionally, the FDA reports that UVB light waves can be harmful to humans. UVB radiation can penetrate deeper into the skin and eyes than UVC lights, which can be damaging to DNA, contribute to skin cancer, and contribute to cataracts. - **UVC Lights**: UVC lighting is the safest and most effective method of cleaning. When used irresponsibly, these lights can be harmful; however, they are completely safe when used properly. Especially when they are installed directly into HVAC systems. This prevents human exposure to radiation, unlike handheld indoor sanitation devices. ## **How Do I Know My UVC Light is Effective?** So once you have decided on UVC light for air quality, how do you know that you are getting the real deal? There are a few different ways to ensure that your UVC light is effectively cleaning the air. \[bpl\_content content\_type=”cpt\_videos” id=”17108″ align=”aligncenter” size=”col-lg-12″ \] ### **Reliable and Experienced Air Quality Professionals** First, make sure that you choose an established air quality professional—like Bonney—who partners with only high-quality, trusted UVC light brands. These experts will also test their UVC lights to ensure that they meet the highest industry standards. ### **At-Home Air Quality Tests** After your installation, it may take some for your filter to fully circulate through the air in your home. However, after it has a chance to work, you can use an air quality monitor to see the results. If you have not had your UVC light installed yet, it is best to order your air quality monitor now so that you can gauge your starting point. Then, watch your air quality improve as your it continues to circulate over the germicidal UVC light. ### **Noticeable Air Quality Difference** Many customers know that their UVC light installation is effective because they can notice a difference. Does your household or workplace seem to rapidly spread germs? Have other sanitary measures seemed useless? You may notice a health boost in your life as your UVC light works to kill these airborne germs and viruses. ## **UVC Light and COVID-19** Studies are still in progress to provide conclusive results about the 2019 coronavirus. However, air quality improvements are a primary point of consideration because this virus is airborne and attacks the respiratory system. This has many wondering, “Can UVC lights kill COVID-19?” Researchers say yes. In a recent study by researchers at Columbia University—[*Far-UVC light (222nm) efficiently and safely inactivates airborne human coronaviruses*](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-67211-2.pdf)—experts found that UVC lamps were, in fact, effective against airborne coronaviruses. ## **How Can I Get a Germicidal UVC Light Installed in California?** When you are ready to have a germicidal UVC lamp installed in your Californiahome or business, contact the experts at Bonney.

These devices offer a range of benefits, from energy savings to convenience, but are they right for everyone? In this blog, we’ll explore who should consider upgrading to a smart thermostat, how these systems work, their key benefits, and a few potential drawbacks to keep in mind. ## Do I Need a Smart Thermostat in California? Smart thermostats are ideal for anyone looking to optimize their home’s heating and cooling efficiency, but they may be particularly beneficial for certain groups of homeowners: ![smart thermostat installation sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Untitled-design-4.png) 1. **Homeowners with Busy Lifestyles:** If you’re constantly on the go and find it challenging to maintain consistent indoor temperatures, a smart thermostat can automatically adjust to your schedule, ensuring comfort when you’re home and energy savings when you’re not. 2. **Energy-Conscious Homeowners:** For those who are focused on reducing their carbon footprint or cutting energy costs, smart thermostats provide detailed insights into energy usage and can significantly improve efficiency. 3. **Tech-Savvy Homeowners:** If you enjoy integrating smart home technology, smart thermostats can be paired with other devices, such as smart lights or security systems, to create a seamless smart home ecosystem. 4. **Vacation Homeowners:** If you have a second property, a smart thermostat allows you to remotely monitor and adjust the temperature, ensuring your vacation home stays energy-efficient when unoccupied and comfortable when you arrive. ## How Do Smart Thermostats Work? At their core, smart thermostats function much like traditional thermostats: they regulate your home’s temperature by controlling your heating and cooling system. However, they are equipped with advanced technology that allows for greater customization, automation, and remote control via a smartphone app or voice assistant. Smart thermostats use built-in sensors and algorithms to learn your habits and preferences. They track when you’re home or away, adjusting the temperature automatically to optimize energy usage. Many models also offer geofencing capabilities, which detect your location via your smartphone and adjust the temperature based on proximity to home. Over time, the system learns your routine and makes automatic adjustments to keep your home comfortable while minimizing energy consumption. Additionally, smart thermostats are often Wi-Fi-enabled, allowing you to control them from anywhere using a smartphone app. Whether you want to adjust the temperature before arriving home or monitor energy usage while on vacation, this connectivity gives you unprecedented control over your home’s climate. ## The Benefits of Smart Thermostats in California Smart thermostats offer a wide range of benefits that can enhance your comfort, convenience, and energy efficiency. Here are some of the key advantages: ### 1. Energy Savings One of the most compelling reasons to invest in a smart thermostat is the potential for energy savings. By learning your schedule and adjusting temperatures accordingly, smart thermostats can reduce energy waste. Many models provide detailed reports on energy usage, allowing you to see when you’re using the most energy and make adjustments to save even more. Studies show that smart thermostats can reduce heating and cooling costs by up to 10-15% annually, depending on your usage patterns. ### 2. Remote Control and Convenience With a smart thermostat, you can adjust your home’s temperature from anywhere using your smartphone. Whether you’re at work, on vacation, or just lounging on the couch, the ability to control your thermostat remotely adds a level of convenience that traditional thermostats can’t offer. This remote access can also be a lifesaver if you forget to adjust the thermostat before leaving for an extended period. ### 3. Automation and Customization Smart thermostats take the guesswork out of temperature control. After learning your preferences and habits, they automatically adjust the temperature based on your daily routine. This means your home is always comfortable when you’re there, and energy isn’t wasted when you’re not. You can also set custom schedules or use voice commands via smart assistants like Alexa or Google Home to make changes effortlessly. ### 4. Improved Home Comfort With features like zoning, where you can control the temperature in specific rooms or areas of the home, smart thermostats allow you to tailor your heating and cooling needs to different spaces. This can improve comfort, especially in homes with rooms that tend to be warmer or cooler than others. Some advanced models even monitor humidity levels and air quality, adjusting the HVAC system to ensure your home stays not only at the right temperature but also at the ideal comfort level. ### 5. Integration with Smart Home Systems For homeowners who already have a smart home ecosystem, integrating a smart thermostat adds another layer of convenience. Many models are compatible with other smart devices like smart lighting, security systems, or even voice assistants. This allows for coordinated automation, such as adjusting the thermostat when you lock the doors or turn off the lights. ## Potential Drawbacks of Smart Thermostats While smart thermostats offer numerous benefits, there are a few potential drawbacks to consider before making the switch. ### 1. Upfront Cost Smart thermostats are generally more expensive than traditional models. While they can help save money in the long run through energy savings, the initial investment might be a barrier for some homeowners. However, rebates and energy efficiency incentives from local utility companies may help offset the cost. ### 2. Compatibility Issues Not all HVAC systems are compatible with smart thermostats. Older heating and cooling systems may not support the advanced technology needed for these devices to function properly. It’s important to check compatibility before purchasing or consult with an HVAC professional to ensure your system can support a smart thermostat. ### 3. Learning Curve Smart thermostats offer many features that can take time to understand fully. Some homeowners may find the learning curve a bit steep, particularly those who are not comfortable with technology. While many models are designed to be user-friendly, adjusting to new features and settings might take some time. ### 4. Reliance on Wi-Fi Since many smart thermostats require a Wi-Fi connection for remote control and advanced features, interruptions in your internet service can limit the functionality of the device. While the thermostat will still regulate your home’s temperature during an outage, you may lose the ability to control it remotely or receive energy usage updates. ## Should You Upgrade to a Smart Thermostat? For many homeowners, a smart thermostat is a valuable investment that can improve comfort, save energy, and integrate seamlessly into an existing smart home system. If you’re looking for more control over your heating and cooling or want to lower your energy bills, a smart thermostat is worth considering. However, be sure to evaluate potential compatibility issues and the upfront cost before making the switch. **Contact Bonney today** to learn more about how smart thermostats can benefit your home and to schedule an installation with our experienced HVAC professionals.

While this may work for some minor situations, it can get tricky when it comes to bigger issues. Since electrical work can be dangerous to handle on your own, leaving the work to a professional can ensure you don’t get injured in the process. Even when you think the problem is small and requires an easy fix, you could be electrocuted and your electrical system damaged even more if you go the DIY route. As you try to keep your home’s electrical system in good shape, review some of the top electrical problems and when you should call a professional to fix them. ## 1. The AC Unit Has Stopped Working You turn on your HVAC system, but nothing happens. There are no whirring noises indicating the HVAC system is starting up, so you try again. Still nothing. The thermostat seems to be working just fine, but the system just won’t start. First, check to make sure the thermostat shows the correct setting. For example, if your AC isn’t kicking on, it could be due to you having set the thermostat too high and your home is already at or below the set temperature. If you notice your thermostat is set too high, lower it to a temperature below your home’s current temperature. If that doesn’t fix the problem and your HVAC system won’t kick on, check your circuit breakers and switches. Once you’ve concluded that neither of these is causing the problem, contact a professional HVAC technician since the issue is likely caused by an electrical problem. Whatever the issue, you need a trained HVAC technician to make the [electrical repair](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/). ## 2. Your Energy Bill Is High When your utility bill suddenly skyrockets, and you’ve been carrying on business as usual, it could mean there’s an issue with the HVAC unit. Usually, the answer to this problem is to simply change the filter, as your unit will have to work harder to cool your home if you have a clogged filter. But, if the bill for the following month is the same or even higher, [contact an expert technician](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) (contact an expert HVAC contractor) as soon as possible to see if an electrical problem is causing the issue. They can inspect the entire HVAC system to make sure it is operating in manufacturer specs. They can inspect the unit and take a look around the home to find the source of the spike in energy use. ## 3. Wiring Issues Your HVAC system has several different wiring systems that can experience wear over time. If your wires are disconnected, corroded, or fraying, they can make it so your HVAC doesn’t work properly or even turn on. Sometimes, writing issues can also cause more wear on other parts of your system, as your system may have to work harder to compensate for the damaged wires. Typically, these wiring issues are caused by a disruption in the electricity. An HVAC technician can inspect your unit to find the source of the wiring problem and repair it for you. [Regular HVAC and electrical inspections](http://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) can also catch wiring issues early, preventing them from worsening and affecting other parts of your HVAC system. ## 4. Improper Connections One simple problem that can impact your AC’s performance and electrical flow is improper connections. If your connections are loose, your AC won’t perform at its best. Fortunately, an HVAC technician can fix this issue quickly by tightening your HVAC system’s connections. [Routine AC maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) can also check for loose connections and solve them before they can majorly disrupt your HVAC system’s performance. ## Choose Bonney for HVAC Service in Sacramento If you need HVAC repair services near you in Sacramento, Bonney has you covered.

The colder months are here and homeowners are always looking for ways to stay cozy and warm. You can crank up the thermostat to heat up your home, but it’s not the most cost effective option, especially when the utility bill arrives. Here are some ways you can keep your home, and yourself, warm without cranking the heat. ## **It’s Great to Insulate** Insulation is one of the best and most affordable ways to make your home warmer. The Department of Energy estimates that a properly insulated attic can shave 10 to 50 percent off your heating bill. Insulation will save you money and add comfort to your home. ## **Ditch the Fire in the Fireplace![Heating Your Home with a Fireplace | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/fireplace-300x167.jpg)** Traditional wood burning fireplaces are cozy and warm during a cold winter’s night. Sitting next to a toasty fire with a cup of hot cocoa is one of life’s simple pleasures. However, a fireplace is counter-productive in keeping your home warm. Between 80 and 90 percent of the heat produced by wood burned in an open fireplace is lost up the chimney. According to the Department of Energy, conventional fireplaces are one of the most inefficient heat sources. All that warm air lost up the chimney must be replaced by cold air brought from the outside and then reheated by the furnace. Also, always make sure to close your damper to keep the cold air out. Fireplaces are picturesque and a mainstay in American homes, just don’t depend on them to heat your entire home efficiently. ## **Keep Warm at Night with Flannel Sheets** Nobody wants to shiver under the covers while they’re trying to sleep at night. Crawling into a cold bed at night can be unsettling. Flannel sheets are the best option for maximum coziness and warmth at night. Turn down the heat and pull up the flannel sheets and you’ll start to see substantial savings each month when your energy bill arrives. ## **![Curtains to Keep Cold Air Out | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/curtains-2-300x200.jpg)Use Your Curtains Wisely** Even when it’s cold outside, there are days when it’s still sunny. Use it to your advantage by opening the curtains during a sunny day. Sunlight provides plenty of natural warmth on a cold day. That’s why you always see the cat perched on the window sill keeping warm. When the sun sets, don’t forget to close your curtains. Without sunlight, heat escapes back the way it came, through your windows. Use heavy curtains to trap the heat in your home. ## **Area Rugs to Keep the Floor Insulated** According to the National Energy Foundation floors account for as much as 10 percent of heat loss if they’re not insulated, and rugs can be that missing insulation. A good area rug can reduce the amount of heat needed to keep you warm in a room and create a soft warm barrier between your feet and the cold hard floor. They act as insulation between the floor and your feet. The thicker the rug, the better the insulation. They’ll also add a little color and style to the room. ## **Unblock Those Heating Vents** Sometimes we put furniture in a room without planning around heating and air vents. Moving furniture away from these spots helps air flow and prevents heat from getting trapped in the wrong places. Don’t cover your heating vents with the lazy-boy recliner or sofa. Do some proper space planning and scoot your furniture away from the walls to prevent blocking your vents. ## **![Ceiling Fan Direction for Winter | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/ceiling-fan-winter-300x214.jpg)Ceiling Fan Reversal** Ceiling fans are an excellent way to cool you down during the hot summer months. They rotate counter clockwise to push air downward and create a draft. During the winter, reverse your ceiling fans rotation to push cool air upward and mix with the rising heat. The mixed air will spread downward, making the room feel warmer. ## **What’s Cookin’ in the Kitchen?** If you don’t have little ones, open your oven after cooking. There’s nothing quite like the smell of a country ham or a hot apple pie cooking in the kitchen. When you cook with your oven in the winter, make the most out of the heat when you’re done cooking by leaving the door open. The hot air from the oven will warm up your kitchen for a little bit and add an extra delicious scent to the house, too. ## **Bundle Up!** Bundle up inside the home. If you’re wearing a tank top, shorts and no socks in the winter time you’ll be tempted to crank the thermostat. The best way to stay warm and reduce your heating bill is to bundle up with layers. We’re not suggesting you wear ear muffs and a parka inside the home, but bundling up will help you keep warm and cozy without cranking the heat. Flannel pajamas, wool socks, or a comfy sweater will go a long way to keeping you warm in the winter. Wrapping yourself up in a cozy blanket while you watch your favorite TV show is also a good way to keep warm when it’s chilly outside. ## **Area Rugs to Keep the Floor Insulated** According to the National Energy Foundation floors account for as much as 10 percent of heat loss if they’re not insulated, and rugs can be that missing insulation. A good area rug can reduce the amount of heat needed to keep you warm in a room and create a soft warm barrier between your feet and the cold hard floor. They act as insulation between the floor and your feet. The thicker the rug, the better the insulation. They’ll also add a little color and style to the room. ## **Cuddle Up With a Loved One** Cuddling with your significant other under a blanket will warm you up faster than a wool sweater. It’s not only energy efficient, it may have some other added benefits as well. If you don’t have a significant other, you can always cuddle up to the dog, they’re a living space heater!

Keeping cool during the warmer months can quickly become expensive. If you’re looking to save money this summer, check out some of these easy tips to cut down your electric bill. ## Give Your AC a Break[![Saving on Energy Costs | Bonney Plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Save-money-on-electricity-bill_Bonney-Plumbing-294x300.jpg)](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Save-money-on-electricity-bill_Bonney-Plumbing.jpg) If your electricity bill is high because you’re constantly running your air conditioning system, one of the easiest ways to save some money is by cutting back on your AC usage. But how do you stay comfortable without your cooling system? Use natural ventilation when possible. Open up windows and doors on opposite sides of your home to let a breeze travel through. This is especially useful for people in the Sacramento area. Our days can easily get in the 90s, but we’re lucky that the weather still cools down quite a bit at night. There’s no reason you have to run your AC all night when you can open up some windows once the sun has gone down! When you’re in a room, turn on the ceiling fan. Fans move air around, creating a wind chill effect that can make a space feel upto four degrees cooler. ## **Control Your Thermostat** When using your air conditioning system, don’t set the thermostat any cooler than 78 degrees Fahrenheit. If your thermostat has a programmable setting function, set your AC to increase the temperature when you’re away. You can return to a comfortable level when you get home. This ensures no energy is wasted on cooling an empty house! Try to keep lamps, televisions and other heat-producing appliances away from the thermostat itself. It’s possible for the internal sensor to detect the additional heat and force the AC to run longer than necessary. ## **Prevent Unwanted Heat Transfer** Any additional heat that enters your home will only make your AC run more than would otherwise be necessary. Use energy-efficient window treatments to filter as much light and radiation as possible. Cover any windows during the day to further block out hot rays. Be sure to look for and seal any air leaks in your home. Not only do leaks allow the cool air to escape, they also let warm air seep in from outdoors. ## **Air Conditioner Maintenance** An efficient air conditioning system is a cost-effective system. Most manufacturers recommend you change your AC unit’s air filter at least once every other month. Households with pets or people with allergies might have to clean out their system even more frequently, but a homeowner can only do so much. At least once a year you should hire a professional to come examine your entire AC system. An HVAC technician will perform a comprehensive tune-up and diagnose any problems your AC might have. Scheduling an appointment before summer starts ensures your home stays cool when you need it most! ## **Plumbing and HVAC Services in California** Bonney Plumbing, Heating and Air has been a reliable service company since 1978.

Houses built during the 1960s and earlier were often equipped with galvanized sewer/water pipe systems. These steel pipes were coated in a layer of zinc to extend their effective lifespan. While this seemed like a good idea at the time, builders and health professionals today now know that galvanized piping can cause a number of problems for homes and homeowners alike. ## Key Takeaways: - **Old galvanized pipes reduce water pressure.** Over time, rust and mineral buildup inside zinc-coated pipes restrict water flow, which can eventually block pipelines or even cause a water main rupture. - **Sediment and rust cause water quality issues.** Hard water, discoloration, and residue in sinks, clothes, and dishware are common problems from aging pipes, which may also impact water heater lifespan. - **Lead in old pipes poses serious health risks.** Lead contamination can affect adults and children, causing symptoms like fatigue, headaches, nausea, and cognitive impairments, making pipe replacement a critical safety measure. ## **Old Pipes Problem 1: Lowered Water Pressure** Naturally occurring zinc, the variety used in the construction of galvanized pipes, contains a number of impurities such as lead and iron. Over decades of usage, the water that passes through a home pipe system can slowly corrode the walls of galvanized piping. Small deposits of iron and other minerals separate from the zinc interior and build up in the water itself. Iron can even begin to rust within the pipes. As the metal sediment and rust begin to accumulate, they eventually settle. The deposits build along the pipe walls until they restrict the entire water line, resulting in reduced water pressure for your household. Left unchecked, the rust and minerals could completely block your pipeline and cause a water main rupture. (Here is our guide on [what to do when you find a plumbing leak](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/plumbing-leak-help/)). ## **Old Pipes Problem 2: Water Hardness** The same sediment buildup that causes a decrease in water pressure makes its way into the water you use throughout your home. Rust in the water you shower and drink with can cause a red discoloration or leave brown stains in sinks. Clothes washed in water high in iron or rust often feel stiff, and your dishwasher might leave behind a residue on plates or cutlery. Hard water can also cause your [sacrificial anode rod](https://www.bonney.com/2021/02/sacrificial-anode-rods/) to corrode faster than usual, leading to premature water heater failure. While [water systems](https://www.bonney.com/2020/09/home-water-systems/) can help combat water hardness, you may need professional pipe replacement to solve the root of the issue. ## **Old Pipes Problem 3: Negative Health Effects** The lead that is released from galvanized pipes can pose significant health concerns when it makes its way into a household’s drinking water. Ingesting too much lead can result in lead poisoning, which causes a wide range of symptoms and complications including: - Fatigue - Headaches - Insomnia - Constipation - Nausea - Abdominal pain - Reduced cognitive abilities - Reproductive problems High doses of lead are particularly dangerous to children. Lead poisoning can hinder brain development and lead to life-long cognitive side effects. Parents that suspect their child has lead poisoning should seek medical attention. ## **Pipe Repair and Replacement in California** Bonney Plumbing has been a reliable service company since 1978.

It’s not exactly a Federal Holiday and you don’t have to run out and ![Cutting Energy Costs | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/national-cut-your-energy-costs-day-300x145.jpg)get your heating and cooling system flowers and a card. However, you can celebrate wisely with these helpful tips to cut your energy costs not just for today, but all year long in California. ## Get a Heating and Cooling System Tune-up Scheduling an appointment to get your heating and cooling system tuned up is a great way to cut your energy costs. Studies show that effective HVAC preventative maintenance can cut energy costs by 5 to 40 percent depending on the system and equipment in your home. Regular maintenance can also extend the life of the equipment and improve its ability to keep your home comfortable throughout the year. [Bonney’s Automatic Maintenance Program](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-automatic-maintenance-bam/) is the perfect way to celebrate National Cut Your Energy Costs Day! ## Unplug Devices You Are Not Using Vampire power, also known as standby power, is the electric power consumed by many consumer electronic devices when they are switched off but still plugged in. That wasted electricity is being sucked up when not in use and costing you a lot of money. Things like TVs, DVD players, radios, computers and printers, microwaves, coffeemakers, and anything else you can think of that plugs in. According to a study by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency the price of vampire power is 10% of your monthly energy bill. Unplug stuff you aren’t using. Take a bite out of your electric bill and unplug devices when not in use. ## Switch To LED Lighting Another great way to cut your energy costs is to switch to LED lighting. LED lights are very energy efficient. They use just 10 percent of the energy of incandescent lights and less than half the energy of compact fluorescent bulbs. An LED that uses 6 watts of electricity produces the same amount of light as a 14-watt CFL bulb or a 60-watt incandescent bulb. Although LED lights cost a little more than incandescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs, the cost is quickly recouped over time in electricity costs. And don’t forget to turn off the lights when you’re not using them. ## Replace Your Air Filter Regularly Replacing your air filter on a regular basis can help keep your energy costs down. When your dirty clogged up air filter is working harder, more energy is being used, which can cause your bill to skyrocket. When you consistently change your air filter, you can save from 5 to 15 percent on your utility bill. Check your air filter monthly and change it every three months. Regularly replacing your air filter is an easy, inexpensive way to save money, extend the life of your HVAC system and improve indoor air quality. ## Switch to Low Flow Shower Heads Low flow shower heads can decrease water consumption by 40% or more. You’ll save water and cut down on your monthly water bill. Showers also take energy to heat the water, which means cutting down on water usage also cuts down on energy usage. Taking shorter showers helps a lot too. Remember that hilarious Seinfeld episode where Kramer and Jerry complain about the low-flow showerheads the landlord installed in their building? “These showers are horrible. There’s no pressure, I can’t get the shampoo out of my hair, Kramer tells Jerry while they both have unusually flat hair. “If I don’t have a good shower, I am not myself. I feel weak and ineffectual. I’m not Kramer”. Low flow shower heads have come a long way since that 1996 Seinfeld episode. Older models of low flow shower heads were less effective as they slowed the water pressure down to a trickle. The latest low flow shower heads are creating stronger pressure for a more pleasant shower. Even Kramer would approve! ## Keep The Fridge and Freezer Full You open your refrigerator to look for something to eat until your mom or dad shout, “close the refrigerator you’re letting all the cold air out!” Did you know keeping the fridge and freezer full can also save you money? Stuff it full of Klondike Bars, frozen taquitos, and corn dogs and save…or broccoli for the health conscious consumer. Food acts as insulation and lessens the amount of time that the fridge has to run to stay cool. Oh yeah and close the refrigerator door! Other ways to cut your energy costs: Fix any leaks in your plumbing system including the toilet. Lower your water heaters thermostat. Weatherproof your home. Run your dishwasher and washing machine only when fully loaded. These are just a few ways you can celebrate National Cut Your Energy Costs Day. When you add them all up you’ll not only save energy, you’ll also save a lot of money.

You might find yourself wondering if your AC is ready for the warmer months. Before you flip your thermostat to “cool,” it is essential that you give your air conditioner care and considerations it needs. Here is a look at what you can expect when turning your air conditioner on for the first time. ## **AC Maintenance Needed Before Turning On Your System** You might expect your AC unit to struggle when turning it on for the first time of the season. However, your system has protective measures in place to keep it secure during the winter and ready for the spring. It should not struggle to start up unless it has an issue or has not received the necessary pre-season maintenance. Maintenance services are essential to keep your system lasting throughout the warmer months. They will also help your system stay efficient and expand the life expectancy of your unit. For best results when turning your air conditioner on for the first time, make sure it is up-to-date on any pre-season care requirements with an [air conditioner tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/). This process includes: - Checking the refrigerant levels - Cleaning condenser coil - Examining your electrical connections - Checking the filters and rinsing when possible - Making sure your system is clean - Assessing your drain line (condensate line) - Checking the motor operating temperature - Ensuring that you do not need any repairs Beyond just examining your HVAC system, an expert will also check your duct system to ensure that you have proper airflow. If you think of your air conditioning unit as the heart of your system, the ductwork acts as the veins that distribute the comfortable air it produces. Without functional ductwork, even new AC units will be unable to adequately cool your home. Airflow issues and air leakage can cause your system to feel less effective, operate less efficiently, and break down prematurely. While these services are vital to safeguard the health and performance of your air conditioning system, they may not help resolve pre-existing problems. When an HVAC expert finds any issues with your system during maintenance, they will work with you to enact a repair plan. ## **Air Conditioning System Repairs** If your AC system was struggling when you turned it off for the winter, any existing issues will need to be addressed before turning it back on this year. You will also have to manage any new, worsening, or emerging air conditioning issues before expecting your system to work again. During a maintenance visit, an expert can detect any issues present with your air conditioner and repair them before they impact your unit’s performance for the season. These repairs will ensure that you can enjoy a comfortable home this spring and summer. ## **The Sooner the Better: Caring For Your Air Conditioner** If you skipped pre-season maintenance, you may soon find your AC system struggling to function. While preventing AC problems should always be your first recourse, your next best option will be early repairs. Early air conditioning repair from an expert is important for three reasons: ### **Preventing Larger AC Issues** Your air conditioning system is made up of several small components that work together to keep your home comfortable. If one piece begins to decline in function, other components of your system may begin overworking to compensate. What may start as a small problem can then quickly impact the health of your entire unit. The earlier you detect a problem and call for professional repairs, the better you can keep the damage contained and prevent needing an [AC system replacement](https://www.bonney.com/2020/05/ac-repair-or-replacement/). ### **Shorter Lines and Quicker Repairs** A high-quality HVAC professional—such as Bonney—will always be on standby and accepting new customers. Our Sacramento HVAC experts also drive fully-stocked trucks in an attempt to complete quick same-day AC repairs. However, if you wait until the heat worsens and AC problems spike throughout your area, your name may find itself lower on the list than those who called ahead. Scheduling your visit early in the season will mean getting your repair done first, allowing you to miss high-traffic service times. ### **Getting the Repair Done Before You Need It** If you wait to schedule your air conditioning repairs until the temperatures reach peak heights in your area, you could find yourself braving the heat for a day or two. This is not so bad in the early spring when your fan may be enough to get you by. Scheduling the repairs you need before the temperatures become unbearable can save you and those in your home from some serious discomfort. When it comes to getting your air conditioner repaired, the sooner you can get an HVAC professional out to see your unit, the better you will fare. Get in touch with your local air conditioning specialist at the first signs of an issue to reap the benefits of early season care. ## **Bonney AC Maintenance and Repair in California** Now is the time to get your air conditioning unit ready for the warmer months ahead with AC maintenance from Bonney.

However, it’s not as simple as choosing any unit at random. Understanding the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is one of the most important aspects of choosing a new HVAC system for your home. ## **What is the SEER Rating?** The SEER rating was developed by the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) as a universal efficiency measurement for HVAC systems manufactured in the U.S. The rating is determined by dividing the system’s cooling output by its level of energy consumption during the average high-use season.1 The higher the rating, the more efficient the system. For example, upgrading to a 14 SEER from a 10 SEER could provide up to a 40 percent efficiency increase.2 Your system’s SEER rating can be found on a yellow “Energy Guide” sticker. ### **Changes to the SEER Ratings** For more than 20 years, the Department of Energy (DOE) enforced one minimum rating for all units manufactured in the U.S. It started with 10 SEER in 1992 – the first year the requirement was applied – and eventually rose to 13 SEER, where it remained from 2006 until 2015. As of January 2015, regional standards are considered when developing a minimum SEER rating due to the differences in HVAC usage by state. For instance, a 13 SEER may be sufficient in a state like Minnesota, but not for a state like Arizona, where homeowners are likely to run their HVAC systems more frequently and at higher levels. ### **SEER Ratings by Region** To develop more accurate minimum ratings, the DOE has divided the U.S. into three regions – north, southwest and south. California is in the southwest region. These are the current minimum ratings by region: - **North** – 14 SEER for packaged HVAC systems, 13 SEER for split systems - **Southwest** – 14 SEER for packaged and split systems - **South** – 14 SEER for packaged and split systems The southwest region has an additional 12.2 energy efficiency rating (EER) minimum requirement for split systems that operate below 45,000 BTUs and 11.7 EER for those that work above. The EER rating calculates the efficiency of the system as if it were always 95 degrees outside. ## **Choosing the Right SEER Rating** Homeowners aren’t bound by the minimum requirement – residential units with SEER ratings as a high as 26 are available.3 These ultra-efficient units cost more money upfront, but if you’re planning on staying in your home for many years, the monthly energy savings could lead to a full return on investment over time. Though, if you currently have an outdated system of 10 SEER or below, upgrading to a 14 SEER could reduce $100 in monthly cooling costs by up to $35.4 Another factor to keep in mind is the size of the unit and your space. No matter how energy-efficient your new A/C unit, if it’s too small to cool a large home, it will work harder than it needs to and consume more energy. In general, one ton of cooling, or 12,000 BTUs, is sufficient for 800 to 1,000 square feet. ## **Other Ways a New A/C Unit Could Save You Money** - **Tax Credits** – A $300 federal tax credit is available after purchasing a 16 SEER split system or 14 SEER package system.5 - **Fewer Maintenance Calls** – A new air conditioning unit requires less overall maintenance, meaning fewer service appointments and more money in your pocket. ## **Save Money on HVAC Installation With Bonney** In addition to finding the right SEER rating for your home, it’s crucial your new unit is installed correctly. The certified HVAC technicians at Bonney can help you determine the ideal system for your home and ensure it is installed with care.

From whole-home systems and window units to stand-alone models and mini-splits, you have plenty of options to choose from. As you look for the right AC system for your home, you should know more about the main systems you should avoid and how to select the correct one for your needs. ## What AC Systems Should I Avoid in California? You can find plenty of great AC systems on the market, but there are a few types you should probably avoid. For example, window ACs are individual units that are usually installed in windows and tend to be an eyesore in most homes. Besides being unattractive, window units are very noisy and less energy-efficient than central AC systems. Stand-alone air conditioners are another option you’ll want to avoid. These portable air conditioners can be moved from room to room, but you’ll need to connect them to a power outlet. They also have a hose that serves as an exhaust for the warmer air that needs to be connected to a window. Due to their design, these units make a lot of noise, struggle to cool large rooms, and take up floor space in your home. ## What AC Systems Tend To Be a Great Choice for Homes? While stand-alone and window units aren’t usually a good choice for homeowners, whole-home systems and mini-split units can be more suitable choices. As you consider these two options, learn more about how to choose between them below: ### The Difference Between Whole-Home Systems and Mini-Split Units Central air conditioning refers to a [whole-home AC system](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/) that utilizes a split system and your home’s ducts to cool your home. With one of these systems, you’ll have an indoor AC unit featuring an air handler and evaporator coils and an outdoor unit containing a compressor and condenser. These units remove heat from your air with refrigerant, pull the heat outdoors, and push cool air through your ducts. If you have existing ductwork, this option is truly the best choice for your home. In contrast to whole-home units, [mini-split units](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/ductless-mini-split-systems/) don’t use your home’s ducts. Instead, ductless mini-split air conditioners connect their indoor units to an outdoor compressor with a conduit that passes through a sealed hole in the wall. The indoor units are typically mounted to a wall or ceiling, and since they’re smaller units, they usually need to be installed in every room to cool an entire home. As the less efficient option, this is commonly only used in a few scenarios, such as historic homes without ductwork. ### How to Choose Between a Whole-Home AC System or Mini-Split Units As you decide between whole-home AC systems or mini-split units, the first thing you’ll want to consider is if your home has existing ductwork. Naturally, homes with ductwork will want to stick with a whole-home AC system, as a central AC system offers several advantages for whole-home cooling. For example, central air conditioners provide better air ventilation, as they pull in fresh air from the outdoors and circulate it throughout your home. In contrast, mini-split systems only condition air already inside your home. Whole-home AC systems can also meet a large home’s demands without needing individual units in every room. Additionally, central air conditioners usually come with lower initial costs, as purchasing and installing new mini-splits can be fairly expensive. Meanwhile, [mini-split systems](https://www.bonney.com/2022/05/5-benefits-of-mini-split-ac-systems/) have an edge when it comes to expansion cooling. These systems can be added to an attic, garage, or sunroom to provide comfort without renovating your ductwork. ## Choose Bonney for Air Conditioning Installation in California If you’re looking for a new AC install near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, turn to Bonney.

Instead of simply accepting a bad-smelling home, allergy symptoms, and chronic dust, you can reduce the amount of pollutants in your house with a whole-home air purification system. As you consider investing in a whole-home air purifier in California, it’s important to know what these devices are and the main signs you need one. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Screen-Shot-2023-07-28-at-2.17.00-PM-1024x547.png) ## What Is a Whole-Home Air Purifier? Unlike portable air purifiers that usually only purify a single room, whole-home air purifiers are designed to clean all of your home’s air. These models are typically installed inside your home’s HVAC system, meaning they don’t take up space in your home, and you’ll never notice them while they do their work. Some popular whole-home models include [iWave Bi-Polar Ionization Air Purifiers](https://www.bonney.com/2022/06/iwave-guide/) and the [Air Scrubber Plus Air and Surface Cleaner](https://www.bonney.com/2022/05/5-benefits-of-the-air-scrubber-plus/). ## 4 Signs You Need a Whole-Home Air Purifier Install in California If you think a whole-home air purifier might be a good investment for your home, learn more about the top four signs you need whole-home air purifier installation services below: ### 1. Your Allergies Are Constantly Bad If your allergies never seem to go away, your home’s air quality could be at fault. Without a whole-home air purifier, allergens like dust, pollen, and dander will freely float around your home and worsen your allergy symptoms. While your HVAC system’s filter will catch some of these allergens, it won’t be effective as a whole-home air purification unit. Instead of suffering from allergies, you can invest in a whole-home air purification system. These systems will help eliminate allergy particles throughout your home and ensure they’re not floating around in your air. As a result, you’ll likely see a reduction in your allergy symptoms. ### 2, You Find Lots of Dust Throughout Your Home When you constantly have to dust off surfaces throughout your home, you probably have an issue with your air quality. An iWave system reduces dust in homes by making dust particles clump together so your HVAC system’s air filter can more easily catch them. In contrast, an Air Scrubber Plus will distribute scrubber ions hyperoxides through your home that will scrub the dust off surfaces. Both systems can be a great way to cut down on the amount of dusting you have to do each week and make your home look cleaner. ### 3. You Have Chronically Sick Family Members Living With You People with chronic respiratory issues need clean air more than most people. Unfortunately, a standard HVAC air filter probably isn’t getting rid of the unhealthy particles in your air that could make family members sick. If a family member has COPD, asthma, emphysema, or another respiratory illness, a whole-home air purifier can reduce many household air pollutants that can worsen their symptoms. ### 4. Your Home Smells Bad If your home consistently smells bad or funky, it could be because of pollutants like dust, mold, bacteria, and smoke. Since these pollutants can make your home smell bad, many homeowners use whole-home air purifiers to keep their air smelling fresh and clean. A whole-home air purifier will filter out foul-smelling pollutants and make your home smell great again. ## Choose Bonney for Whole-House Air Purifier Installation Services in California If you’re looking for whole-home air purifier installation services near you in Sacramento, turn to Bonney.

Since they’re responsible for safely delivering power to various appliances and devices, it’s critical they stay in good condition. One of the best ways to stay on top of your electrical outlets is to know more about their typical lifespan so you can replace them before they break down or become a fire hazard. ## Key Takeaways: - **Electrical outlets have a limited lifespan.** Standard three-prong outlets usually last around 15 years, GFCI outlets 15–25 years, and outdated two-prong outlets should be replaced immediately due to safety risks. - **Warning signs indicate when replacement is needed.** Cracks, looseness, burn marks, sparking, smoke, or heat from an outlet are clear signs that it should be replaced to prevent fire hazards. - **Professional replacement ensures safety and reliability.** Hiring licensed electricians, like Bonney, guarantees proper installation, updates older outlets to modern standards, and maintains safe, functional power throughout your home. ## When to Replace Electrical Outlets When you want to know how long electrical outlets last, you should know that there are a few different types of electric outlets currently installed in homes around the United States. The most common electrical outlets are standard three-prong outlets and Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets, but some older homes still have two-prong outlets. If you want to know when you should replace any of these different types of outlets, learn more below: - **Two-prong outlets:** If you have two-prong outlets in your home, it’s already time to replace them. Due to their lack of a grounding wire, two-prong outlets are outdated and potentially dangerous. An electrician should replace any two-prong outlets with standard three-prong outlets or GFCI outlets. - **Standard three-prong outlets:** The typical lifespan of three-prong outlets tends to be around 15 years. However, if you rarely use the outlet, it could work for around 30 years, but most replacements should occur around the 15-year mark. - **GFCI outlets:** Generally, GFCI outlets last somewhere between 15 to 25 years and should be replaced in this timeframe. While these outlets tend to work for a long time, you should [test them regularly](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/gfci-installation/) with the “Test” and “Reset” buttons. ## 6 Main Warning Signs Your Electrical Outlets Should Be Replaced While older outlets can simply stop delivering power, they can also result in safety hazards in your home. As a result, it’s critical you hire a professional to replace them once they’ve reached the end of their lifespan or are [showing signs of damage](https://www.bonney.com/blog/signs-to-replace-power-outlets/). Since outlets can start to age or develop problems prematurely, it’s important you know the main warning signs of an outlet needing replacement—no matter its age. Review the primary signs of an outlet requiring replacement below: - **The outlet doesn’t deliver power:** If your outlet doesn’t deliver power to any appliances or other devices, it’s time to replace it. As long as you’ve checked that you don’t have a tripped circuit or a blown fuse and that the appliance you’re trying to power isn’t at fault, you’ll need to hire an electrician to inspect the outlet. - **The outlet is cracked or damaged:** When your outlet’s face is cracked or damaged, it’s time to replace it. Besides looking bad, cracked outlets can allow flammable materials, such as pet hair or dust, to build up inside them, raising the chance of a fire occurring. - **The outlet is loose:** A loose outlet is another sign you need replacement. Typically, loose outlets come from improper installation, and they can interrupt your electrical connection. This interrupted connection can cause electric arcs or jumps in electricity that could result in an electrical fire. - **The outlet has burn marks or shows signs of melting:** While it seems obvious, it’s important to stop using an outlet and have it replaced as soon as possible if it has burn marks or signs of melting on its faceplate. Whenever you see melted parts, scorch marks, or brown or black discoloration, your outlet could have short-circuited or sparked, - **The outlet sparks or produces smoke:** When you plug in an appliance or turn it on and the outlet sparks or produces smoke (or even the smell of smoke), you’ll want to immediately use your breaker box to turn off power to the outlet. After doing so, you’ll need to contact an electrician to inspect the outlet and potentially replace it. - **The outlet is hot:** If you touch your outlet and it feels hot, it’s likely damaged, or its wiring was improperly installed. Due to the potential for an electric fire, you should stop using the outlet and have it replaced. ## Choose Bonney for Electrical Outlet Replacement Services When you need electrical outlet replacement services in Sacramento, California, turn to Bonney.

These versatile systems provide [several benefits](https://www.bonney.com/blog/5-benefits-of-mini-split-ac-systems/), including cooling without any ductwork, allowing you total control over temperatures in certain rooms or spaces. Because they only require a small hole to be drilled during installation for the conduit to connect the indoor and outdoor units, they’re much easier to retrofit to homes without ductwork. The average mini-split AC installation cost in California tends to run between $8,000 and over $25,000 based on factors such as: - Size and cooling capacity - Energy efficiency - Number of indoor units or zones - Complexity of the installation - The company installing the system For a more specific estimate of your installation cost, contact Bonney today. ## Key Takeaways: - **Mini-split AC installation costs vary widely.** In California, expect to pay between $8,000 and $25,000+, depending on factors like unit size, energy efficiency, number of zones, installation complexity, and the company you hire. - **Unit size, efficiency, and zones impact price.** Higher BTU ratings, more indoor units or zones, and higher SEER ratings (energy efficiency) increase upfront costs but can improve comfort and save money on energy bills long-term. - **Installation quality matters.** Labor complexity, home layout, and the reputation of the company installing your mini-split significantly affect cost. Choosing a trusted installer ensures reliable performance and avoids potential issues from poor workmanship. --- --- ## Ready for Your Ductless Mini-Split Installation? Call Bonney Today! Need a new [ductless mini-split AC](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/ductless-mini-split-systems/) installed? We’re ready to get the job done with excellent customer service and meticulous attention to detail. Enjoy your new AC with Bonney’s unparalleled quality craftsmanship. Contact us today! --- ## Size and Cooling Capacity Your AC’s size is determined by its cooling capacity, which is measured in British thermal units (BTU). BTU is a unit of measurement used to measure the amount of energy necessary to heat a pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. An AC’s BTU tells you how much heat the unit can remove from the air in an hour. Typically, the higher the BTU rating you require for a space, the more expensive the AC unit will be. A professional technician can help you determine the BTU rating you need to keep your home cool. ## Energy Efficiency ACs come with a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) rating, which helps determine how energy-efficient the unit is. This ratio considers the cooling output of the system during a normal cooling season and the total energy used to achieve it. A higher SEER rating tells you that your AC is more energy efficient than a unit with a lower rating. Of course, energy efficiency comes at a cost. Highly energy-efficient systems are typically costlier than less efficient systems. However, because you’ll save on energy costs each year you use your more efficient AC, you often save more in the long run with the higher up-front investment. ## Number of Indoor Units or Zones Unlike central AC, which cools your whole home through ductwork, mini-split ACs cool specific rooms or zones. Depending on the layout of your home and how you want to control your climate, you may need several mini-split AC systems to achieve your desired results. A professional can review your home and help you determine exactly how many mini-split systems you’ll need. However, if you need a multi-zone setup or need several air handlers, you can expect costs to increase. This includes the costs of additional appliances as well as increased labor for installation. ## Complexity of the Installation Part of your final bill is labor, so if you need a more complex installation, you can expect the price to increase. Some common factors that can lead to a more complex installation, include: - Installing units on the upper levels of a home - When the indoor and outdoor units are further apart and longer connection lines are needed - If additional electrical work needs to be done to support the additional load - If additional carpentry work needs to be done to accommodate the AC’s outdoor installation ## The Company Installing the System If you call out three different companies to quote you on the same ductless install cost in California, you’ll get three different prices. Each company will have its own rates for labor and service, but you get what you pay for. Even if you find a company willing to do the job for less, you need to confirm that you’re still getting quality workmanship that’ll last. Even if you have to pay more to get that higher-quality installation performed by a more reputable company, it’s often worth it to avoid any of the numerous things that could go wrong with shoddy workmanship. At Bonney, you get exceptional service every time. We know that keeping our employees happy leads to happy customers when they get the top-notch results they expect. ## Schedule Your Expert Ductless Mini-Split System Installation With Bonney.

To beat the heat, most homeowners depend on air conditioning. A high-quality AC can go a long way in preserving your comfort. However, like any home appliance, air conditioners can break down over time. Depending on the problem, you may need a repair or a replacement. The AC repair cost in California ranges from $400 to $3,500+, with the average coming out to $1,000. Meanwhile, the AC install cost in California can be anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000+, with most homeowners spending around $17,500. In this blog, we’ll review the following factors that impact costs: - Your AC’s age and condition - Severity of repairs and warranty status - Cost of replacement parts - Ongoing energy bills - Labor and installation costs At Bonney, we support homeowners through first-rate AC repair and installation services. Keep reading to learn more about these factors and how our team can help you. ## Key Takeaways: - **AC age and condition matter.** Once your air conditioner is 10 years or older, it’s more prone to breakdowns and repeated repairs. Sometimes replacing an older unit saves money long-term by improving efficiency and reducing future repair costs. - **Repair severity and parts affect costs.** Minor issues like clogged filters are inexpensive to fix, but major problems such as refrigerant leaks or a broken compressor can get costly. Always compare repair costs to replacement costs, if repairs exceed half the price of a new unit, replacement may be smarter. - **Energy efficiency and labor impact overall expenses.** An AC that struggles due to age or malfunction consumes more energy, raising your bills. Combine this with labor and installation costs, and professional service becomes crucial for lasting performance and comfort. --- ## Looking for Expert AC Repair and Replacement Services? Contact the experts at Bonney for high-quality, hassle-free service. Whether you need a [quick repair](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) or a [new installation](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/), you can trust us to deliver 5-star work. With every project, we offer unparalleled craftsmanship and excellent customer service. --- ## Your AC’s Age and Condition The first factor to consider is your AC’s age and condition. Once your air conditioner reaches 10 years of age, it’s more likely to break down and experience repair problems. If you attempt to repair an older AC, there’s a high likelihood it will break down again. Thus, it’s generally better to replace older models. Although replacements are more expensive than repairs, they can save money in the long run by boosting performance and efficiency. ## Severity of Repairs and Warranty Status Another critical factor is the type of repairs you need. Some problems, such as clogged filters or wiring issues, are relatively easy to fix. Other problems, such as [refrigerant leaks](https://www.bonney.com/blog/what-kind-of-refrigerant-does-my-air-conditioner-need/) or broken parts, are more complex and will require more time and money to fix. As a general rule of thumb, your repairs should be less than half the cost of an AC replacement. When scheduling repairs, check the status of your warranties. There are two main warranties to consider: the parts warranty and the labor warranty. Your parts warranty offers coverage in case of manufacturer defects, while your labor warranty helps cover the workmanship. In general, a parts warranty lasts between five and 10 years. Labor warranties, on the other hand, last around one or two years. If you’re unsure whether your warranties are valid, contact the manufacturer and installation company. ## Cost of Replacement Parts Does your AC repair require replacing certain components? If so, consider the cost of replacement parts. Some elements, such as the refrigerant or the fan motor, are relatively inexpensive to replace. More complex parts, however, have high replacement costs. For example, replacing a compressor or condenser coil comes with a hefty price tag and can cost thousands of dollars. ## Ongoing Energy Bills In order for your AC to operate, it needs to consume energy. The amount of energy it requires will be reflected in your monthly bills. Here are a few factors that impact [energy consumption](https://www.bonney.com/blog/5-energy-efficient-hvac-upgrades/): - **Age:** Your AC’s performance declines over time, which increases your energy costs. - **Repair needs:** Many repair needs, such as clogged filters or broken parts, disrupt your AC’s functionality. To overcome the problem, your air conditioner will overwork itself, resulting in higher energy costs. - **Model:** Air conditioners with high SEER ratings are more energy efficient than those with low ratings. Over time, energy costs can quickly add up. Repairing your AC is a great way to solve problems and lower your monthly bills. If repairs don’t improve energy efficiency, or if your AC is old, you may need a replacement instead. In addition to receiving the right service, be sure to schedule [yearly maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/). Getting an annual tune-up is a great way to monitor your energy efficiency. ## Labor and Installation Costs The final factor to consider is labor and installation costs. Ultimately, you should work with an HVAC company that offers high-quality, reliable service for a fair price. At Bonney, we pride ourselves on excellent workmanship. We’re highly experienced in AC repairs and installations, and we go the extra mile to meet your unique needs. --- ## Choose Bonney for Your AC Repair and Installation Needs If you need an [AC repair](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) or [replacement](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/), the experts at Bonney are here to help.

Pets are like family, and for a lot of people pets ARE family. When we can’t be home with our animals we want them to be safe and comfortable. Summertime pet safety is an important issue during the dog days of summer. When the temperature outside reaches 100 degrees it can have a real effect on your beloved cat or dog. ### Key Takeaways: - **Keep your pets cool for their health and comfort.** Just like humans, dogs and cats can overheat in the summer, especially those with thick coats, short snouts, or older age. Leaving the air conditioner on helps maintain a safe indoor temperature and prevents heat-related health risks. - **Set a pet-friendly thermostat.** Experts recommend keeping your home around 78–80 degrees when pets are inside. This keeps them comfortable, allows them to regulate their body temperature safely, and balances energy costs. - **Support cooling with smart habits.** Alongside air conditioning, provide fresh water, close blinds, and minimize heat from lights or appliances. These steps help your furry friends stay comfortable and safe while you’re away. A dog or cat can’t take off their shirt and wear boxer shorts around the house to cool off like dad. Some dogs and cats have a big shaggy coat that keeps them warm in the winter but come summertime, that fur coat can’t be shed. The furrier the dog or cat, the hotter they’re gonna get. So, should you leave the air conditioner on for your pet when you’re gone or at work? Most pet owners and veterinarians say “yes” you should leave your air conditioner on for your pet. It gives your dog or cat a sense of relief. According to Gina Knepp, who manages the Sacramento’s Front Street Animal Shelter, “If you have air conditioning and can afford it, I recommend you keep it baseline comfortable”. What is considered baseline comfortable? The Department of Energy’s website recommends keeping your thermostat at 78 degrees while you’re at home and 85 degrees when the house is empty during the summer. If you’re leaving a furry friend inside, stick to 78-80 degrees. You will save money, but will also keep your pets comfortable. Keep in mind that regular body temperature for cats and dogs is 3-4 degrees higher than for humans, so if it’s comfortable for you it’s likely comfortable for your pet. According to the Humane Society, a dog’s temperature should not reach above 104 degrees. But what is more important is how a dog cools down. Dogs pant, evaporating moisture from their lungs, which takes heat away from their body. Cats like dogs, pant to cool themselves off. Cats are also good at finding the coolest place in the house to lie down. That’s why you’ll find the cat curled up in the porcelain sink and the dog sprawled out on the cool tile floor. Both cats and dogs know where to go when they’re hot, but they cool themselves more efficiently in an air-conditioned home. Older animals as well as cats and dogs with “smushed” or pushed-in faces—like pugs, bulldogs and Persian cats – may have a harder time controlling their internal body temperature. Many breeds share this physical trait and since it makes it harder for them to breathe, they should always be considered non-heat tolerant and kept comfortably cool. Always have a bowl of fresh water for your animals to keep them hydrated and use the same techniques you would if you were home and trying to keep the house cool. Close the blinds, shades or drapes, and keep the heat generating lights and appliances turned off. It may cost a little extra to keep the dog or cat cool, but in the long run it’s worth it for the health and safety of your pet. At Bonney, Plumbing, Heating & Air we specialize in taking care of air conditioning needs for humans and their furry four legged friends.

A heating and air vent is essential for delivering climate-controlled warm or cool air inside your home. Heating and air vents also play a vital part in many Hollywood Blockbuster movies. It’s usually the hero escaping or hiding from the “bad guys” by secretly crawling through the air vents undetected. Air vents have also been used for comedic purposes in the movies as well. ## Air Vent Movie Takeaways: - **Air vents are more than functional; they’re cinematic stars.** From Die Hard’s thrilling escapes to Toy Story’s heartfelt rescues, ventilation systems have been cleverly used in films to create suspense, humor, and memorable moments. - **Iconic scenes often revolve around creative uses of air ducts.** Heroes hide, villains stalk, and even comedic characters crawl through vents, proving that these often-overlooked components of your home can inspire imaginative storytelling on the big screen. - **Your home’s air vents deserve attention, too.** Just like in the movies, clean and well-maintained ducts are essential, not for dramatic escapes, but for keeping your HVAC system running efficiently and maintaining indoor air quality. Here are Bonney’s Top Moments in Air Vent Movie History: ![Air Vent Scene in Die Hard](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/air-duct-die-hard-300x121.jpg)**Die Hard:** Hands down the best movie where the main character crawls through the air vents is Die Hard starring Bruce Willis as New York Policeman John McClane. He attempts to save his wife and others who are taken hostage during a Christmas party at an LA skyscraper. In a pivotal scene McClane has no choice but to crawl around the ventilation system where the bad guys can’t catch him. It’s one of the high points of the film. Crawling around the ducts with only a Zippo lighter and some wisecracks, “Now I know what a TV Dinner feels like”, McClane manages to elude the terrorists and save the day. Good thing those air ducts were clean! ![Air Duct Scene in Alien](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/air-duct-alien-300x225.jpg)**Alien:** The science fiction horror movie Alien has one of the most frightening moments in air duct movie history. The extraterrestrial creature stalks and attacks the crew of the spaceship one by one. In one of the scariest parts of the film Dallas, the captain of the Nostromo, enters the ship’s air ducts to lure the Alien to the airlock and eject it into space. He is attacked by the Alien and disappears, presumed dead, leaving only his flamethrower. It’s a quintessential air duct movie scene! ![Air Vent Scene in Toy Story ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/air-vent-buzz-300x169.jpg) **Toy Story 2:** Another pivotal scene in Air Duct Movie history is when the gang of toys, led by Buzz Lightyear, comes to rescue Woody from Al McWhiggin and bring him back to Andy’s house. Woody tells Buzz, “You wasted your time” and turns his back on his friends. The gang sadly turns around and heads back through the air vents. The television starts to play “You Got a Friend in Me” which prompts Woody to have a change of heart. He screams, “Buzz, I’m coming with you!” and Buzz replies, “Way to go Cowboy!” It’s a sentimental moment in Air Duct Movie History. ![Ventilation Duct Scene in Mission Impossible](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/air-vent-mission-impossible-2-300x137.jpg)**Mission Impossible:** The most famous scene in the movie is the white room vault heist where Tom Cruise dangles from the ceiling. The ventilation duct played a major part in the scene which is where Franz Krieger operates the harness that keeps Ethan, played by Cruise, from falling to the floor. A wayward rat scurrying through the air duct almost squashes the whole heist, but, in the movies Tom Cruise always wins. Another cinematic homage in air duct movie history. ![Air Vent Scene in Dr. No](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/air-vent-Dr-no-300x169.jpg)**Dr. No:** The first James Bond film starring Sean Connery. In almost every James Bond movie there’s a suspenseful escape scene, right? James Bond is captured and imprisoned in a holding cell by the evil Dr. No. But wait, there’s an air vent just waiting for Mr. Bond to escape through. At first he gets shocked when he touches the grill, but, tries again by using his shoe to push it out and Bond is off and crawling through the air vents. Bond finds his way to Dr. No’s control center, which contains the nuclear pool reactor where he overloads the reactor and knocks Dr. No into the reactor pool killing him. And the rest is Air Vent Movie History. There are many other films where the air ventilation system plays a role. The Coen Brother’s No Country for Old Men where Llewellyn Moss hides the briefcase of money through the air vent at the El Paso Motel. The Breakfast Club has a scene in which the school ventilation system is used as an escape route by Bender. And don’t forget the screwball comedy Paul Blart Mall Cop in which Kevin James crawls through the Mall vents and eventually crashes through them. “Resident Evil”, Men in Black II, and the Clint Eastwood film “Escape From Alcatraz” also have major air ventilation scenes. How do you think Clint Eastwood made his escape from The Rock? ## Air Vent Maintenance Sacramento Air vents have played an important role in the movies and they also play an important role in your [heating](https://www.bonney.com/heating/) and [air-conditioning](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/) system.

Most homes are equipped with two types of outlets: two-prong and three-prong. Modern buildings typically feature the latter due to their enhanced safety features. However, many older homes still retain the two-prong outlets, signaling a potentially outdated electrical system that might require an upgrade. Understanding the differences between these outlet types is not just about technical knowledge—it’s about ensuring the safety and efficiency of your home’s electrical infrastructure. In this guide, we will explore: - What’s a Two-Prong Outlet? - What’s a Three-Prong Outlet? - Is One Better Than the Other? Stay tuned as we clarify the distinctions between two-prong and three-prong outlets, empowering you to make informed decisions about upgrading and safeguarding your home’s electrical system. ## Key Takeaways: - **Two-prong outlets lack grounding**. They only have a hot and neutral wire, making them outdated and less safe. - **Three-prong outlets add a grounding wire**. This extra protection helps prevent shocks, fires, and damage to electronics. - **Upgrading improves safety**. Three-prong outlets are the modern standard, and replacing old two-prong outlets is highly recommended. --- ## Boost the safety of your electrical system with our trusted services. If you need to schedule [electrical services](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/), the dedicated team at Bonney is here to help. Our seasoned electricians specialize in unparalleled quality craftsmanship and hassle-free maintenance and services. As Sacramento’s leading A+ Better Business Bureau member, we never do anything less than a job well done. --- ## What’s a Two-Prong Outlet? A two-prong outlet refers to an electrical outlet that contains two wires: a neutral wire and a hot wire. These outlets are most prevalent in homes that were constructed before the 1960s. Although two-prong outlets are technically still legal, they are not installed in newer homes. This is because they fail to meet the electrical safety requirements for modern households. Two-prong outlets are commonly referred to as ungrounded outlets. This is because they lack a grounding wire, which is a critical component of electrical safety. When two-prong outlets were first introduced in the early 20th century, electrical systems were far less safe for the homeowner than they are today. ## What’s a Three-Prong Outlet? ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Bonney-Light-Switch-1024x685.jpg) A three-prong outlet contains a neutral wire and hot wire like a two-prong outlet. However, unlike the two-prong, a three-prong is also equipped with a grounding wire. You can think of a grounding wire as an extra safety measure to prevent serious electrical hazards. These can include electrical fires, shocks, and severely damaged electrical equipment. ## Is One Better Than the Other? In terms of overall safety, three-prong outlets are considered the optimal choice. Unlike two-prong outlets, three-prongs are specifically designed with safety and well-being in mind. The addition of the ground wire can help prevent serious damage and protect you and your loved ones from various electrical hazards. To better appreciate these benefits, it helps to understand the risks of two-prong outlets. The most serious risk is electrocution. Overall, three-prong outlets are considerably safer than two-prong outlets. If you still have any two-prongs in your home, we highly recommend replacing them. --- ## Ready to upgrade to three-prong outlets? We’re here to help.

It keeps your home safe, everything running smoothly, and your energy use efficient. Power outlets are something you use all the time but may not think much about—until they stop working. So, you might wonder, can a power outlet stop working? Yes, it can. And do they wear out over time? They sure do. It is important to know when a power outlet isn’t working right and when it’s time to change it. This can help you avoid all sorts of problems, from little annoyances to big, dangerous issues. In this article, we’ll explore: - 8 signs to know when to replace an outlet - Why electrical outlets can go bad over time - How a bad outlet can affect other outlets - What to do if your outlet stopped working ## Key Takeaways: - **Damaged or faulty outlets are a safety risk.** Signs like burns, cracks, buzzing sounds, or warmth indicate serious issues that could lead to shocks or fires and require immediate replacement. - **Outdated or improper outlets should be upgraded.** Two-prong outlets and non-GFCI outlets in wet areas aren’t safe for modern use and should be replaced with grounded or GFCI outlets. - **One bad outlet can affect your whole system.** Since outlets are often connected in a circuit, a single faulty outlet can impact others, making prompt replacement essential for home safety and efficiency. --- ## Have your outlet replaced by Bonney’s experienced, 5-star rated electricians.

Physical damage affects the outlet’s functionality and significantly increases the risk of electrical shock and fire hazards. ### Sign #2: There’s a Burning Smell A burning smell coming from an outlet is a serious warning sign. This odor often indicates overheating, possibly due to a faulty wiring connection or an overloaded circuit. Turn off the power to the affected area and consult a [professional electrician](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/). ### Sign #3: Loose Outlet Connections Outlets that no longer hold plugs snugly are both a nuisance and a danger. Loose connections can lead to arcing, overheating, and potentially fires. Replacing the outlet is a straightforward solution to restore safety and functionality. ### Sign #4: Frequent Tripping of Circuit Breakers If a specific outlet causes the circuit breaker to trip frequently, it’s a sign that the outlet may be drawing too much power, or there could be a short circuit within the outlet itself. Both scenarios warrant a replacement. ### Sign #5: Buzzing Noises An outlet should operate silently. If you hear buzzing or other unusual sounds from an outlet, it’s a sign of an electrical issue, such as loose wiring or a failing outlet component. Address these sounds right away by replacing the outlet. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bonney-GFCI-Outlet-edited.jpg) ### Sign #6: Outdated Two-Prong Outlets In today’s three-pronged world, two-pronged outlets limit the usability of modern appliances and lack the grounding necessary for safety. Upgrading these outdated outlets is a smart move toward enhancing safety and compatibility. ### Sign #7: No GFCI in Wet Areas [Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/gfci-installation/) are a must in areas prone to moisture, like bathrooms and kitchens. These outlets protect against electrical shock by quickly cutting power if a fault is detected. If you have non-GFCI outlets in these areas, replacing them with GFCI versions is a crucial safety upgrade. ### Sign #8: The Outlet Is Warm to the Touch Outlets should not emit heat. If an outlet feels warm or hot, it’s a sign of an overload or a potentially dangerous electrical fault. Such outlets need to be inspected and likely replaced by a professional. ## Do Electric Outlets Go Bad Over Time? Yes, electric outlets go bad over time. The wear and tear on these outlets can lead to a range of issues, from loose connections to the breakdown of internal components. This deterioration can result in reduced functionality, safety hazards, and even the potential for electrical fires. Regular inspection and timely replacement of old and worn-out outlets are key to maintaining a safe and efficient electrical system in your home. ## Can One Bad Outlet Affect Others? ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Bonney-Outlet-Parts-1024x683.jpg) It might surprise some homeowners that one bad outlet can affect others. This is particularly true in cases where outlets are daisy-chained together in a circuit, as is common in many homes. A malfunction in one outlet can lead to a drop in performance or complete failure in downstream outlets. Additionally, a serious fault in one outlet could risk the entire circuit, underscoring the importance of promptly addressing any outlet issues. --- ## Need an outlet replaced?

California’s Water Districts are heavily regulated and do a great job working to keep us safe. Every home is different, and no matter what water municipality you live in it’s a great idea to have your home water tested to really know what you are drinking.* Installing a whole house water purification system in your home can be beneficial for the entire family. **Did you know?** “Chlorine, added as an inexpensive and effective drinking water disinfectant, is also a known poison to the body,” says Vanessa Lausch of filter manufacturer Aquasana (Scientific America, “Tapped Out”). It’s hard to imagine that the water coming out of the tap in your family home could essentially be putting you and your family at risk, but this may actually be the case. The Natural Resources Defense Council reported that while many urban residents could drink tap water without serious health threats, some contaminants pose risk to infants, pregnant women and people with deficiencies in their immune systems. In the NRDC’s report “What’s on Tap,” they name two factors that are imminent threats to drinking water: old pipe systems and weak legislative protection for water purity. Home water purification systems can provide clean water, free of harmful contaminants, as soon as you turn on the faucet. Installing a water purification system is easy! Just give us a call at Bonney; We will install your new filter system, but just as important, we will maintain your system so you know you’re getting the best quality water. Be confident in every glass of water you drink! **Categories:** Water Quality --- ### [Benefits of a Home Water Filtration System](https://www.bonney.com/blog/benefits-home-water-filtration-system/) **Published:** May 22, 2017 **Author:** Sarah **Content:** [![Water Filtration System | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/004-home-water-filter-300x225.jpg)](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/004-home-water-filter.jpg)In 1974, the United States Congress passed the Safe Drinking Water Act. The act empowered the Environmental Protection Agency to establish and enforce standards for public water systems, with the goal of protecting public health by ensuring that drinking water is safe to consume. However, public water is still susceptible to contamination despite these standards. The recent crisis over clean drinking water in Flint, Michigan has drawn national attention to the fact that these regulations and standards aren’t always enforced. Many citizens have taken matters into their own hands by installing a private in-home water filtration system. These systems are powerful enough to filter harmful contaminants that may remain, even after treatment from a municipal water system. A whole-house filtration system also provides several other benefits, listed below: - **Filters and removes minerals and chemicals from water** – One of the most important benefits of a home filtration system is its ability to remove harmful chemicals from the water you drink and bathe in. Chemicals blocked and filtered include: - Chlorine - Toxic metals like lead, mercury, barium and arsenic - Radioactive elements - Acid rain - Leachate from landfills - Storm water runoff - Industrial waste - And more - **Extends the life of your plumbing fixtures** – Chemicals and minerals not only have an effect on you, but also your home’s fixtures. Minerals like iron can cause water-using appliances like sinks, bathtubs and toilets, to rust. Home water filtration systems protect your home’s fixtures and appliances from mineral contaminated water, ensuring they don’t need to be repaired or replaced as often as a home without a personal filtration system. - **Removes odors from your water** ­– Minerals and chemicals in water can give off unpleasant odors such as sulfur. However, water filtration systems can remove unpleasant smells and odors before it even leaves the tap, ensuring you’re drinking and bathing in pleasant, odorless water. - **Softened, filtered water can save on energy and expenses** – “Hard water” is municipal water that contains a high mineral content. This is often the case in many southwestern cities including Sacramento. Hard water will cause calcium and mineral buildup on faucets and showerheads over time, reducing their flow or even blocking them entirely! Water filters can help keep water soft so your fixtures don’t get as calcified and water flows steadily. Softened water can reduce detergent use by 50% and achieves similar results in dishwashers. ## Purchase High-Quality Water Filters with Bonney Plumbing Keep your water clean with a personal, high-[quality water filtration system](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) from Bonney. Investing in a water filtration system for your home can resolve hard water problems, keeping water spots off your glass shower doors and drinking glasses sparkling.

How do you restore that massaging pressure you originally had in your shower or sink? There are many plumbing problems that may result in weakened water pressure in all areas of your home. Keep an eye out for these common issues when faced with inexplicable, less-than-ideal pressure. ## **Are Your Valves Open?** For every free-standing home, there are two water line valves which must remain fully open at all times to ensure maximum pressure. First, check your home’s main shut-off valve on one of your exterior walls or in a utility room near the water heater. This shut-off valve controls the flow of the city’s water into your home, so it’s important you check it’s fully open by turning the gate valve all the way in the counterclockwise direction or a ball valve parallel to the pipe, depending on which valve type you have in your home. If your home’s valve is open, check on the city’s water meter valve, typically located in front of your home near the street. If either of these valves were partially or fully closed, it may be due to some recent repairs or service to the water lines in the area or your home’s plumbing system. Check these valves after every instance of plumbing service. ## **Problems with the Pressure Regulator?** Depending on your home’s plumbing system, you may be experiencing a sudden decline in pressure throughout your home because of a failing pressure regulator. Not all homes have them, but if a regulator is installed in your home and you notice a decline or increase in pressure across all fixtures, call your local plumber to examine and replace the regulator. ## **Do You Have Blockages?** From dirt to minerals and even corrosion of metal, your home’s plumbing pipes are susceptible to all sorts of blockages that may slow or stop the flow of water through your home, resulting in low water pressure. The type of blockage you have may be difficult to determine without the right plumbing expertise. Dirt, sand and stones can be carried into your home’s pipes from a cracked or broken water main outside or by someone in the household washing similar debris down the drain, like you might after a messy trip to the beach. Even the minerals in your water may build up a blockage over time. Hard water can deposit minerals along pipe walls which can eventually grow into large blockages or calcify your showerhead, reducing its effectiveness. These can usually be remedied with chemical plumbing cleaners, or in the case of showerheads by soaking the head in vinegar followed by rinsing. If, however, the blockage is a result of corrosive buildup, you may be in for a more expensive repair. Pipes aren’t intended to last forever. Once a pipe reaches the end of its lifetime, it begins to break down and create a blockage of corrosive material. This generally means your plumbing system needs to be overhauled and replaced. ## **Is There a Leak?** One of the most obvious plumbing problems that may lead to lower water pressure is a moderate to severe leak. A tiny drip beneath the sink may not result in a significant loss of pressure, but a consistent leak could disrupt water flow. Check for signs of leaks throughout the interior and exterior of your home. If you notice wet spots, discoloration, bubbling or puddles in the yard, you may have a leak. To be sure, shut off your water valves and leave them like that for a few hours. If you notice an increase in water usage when you return, the odds are good you have a leak that should be corrected by a plumbing professional as soon as possible. ## **Plumbing Repair and Installation Services in Rancho Cordova, CA** Everyone loves to have high water pressure in their home. If you notice weaker pressure, it’s time to call in the experts. Greater Sacramento area residents can rely on the plumbers at Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning & Rooter Service to locate and correct their water pressure problems.

When you run your system that often, your furnace filter works hard to provide your home with clean, healthy air. That kind of responsibility is why it’s crucial homeowners take a proactive approach to furnace filter maintenance by replacing it regularly during heavy-use seasons. How often should your furnace filter be replaced? That depends on several different factors, but in general, changing your furnace filter once every one to three months should be more than enough. If you have pets or allergies, you may want to replace it once per month. Here are some of the biggest benefits to replacing your furnace filter when necessary. ## **Minimize the Need for Future Repairs** The furnace going out in the middle of winter can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare. Not only is it a major inconvenience, but depending on how cold it is, it could be dangerous to go through a winter night without a working furnace. Replacing furnace filters regularly does wonders for extending the lifespan of your furnace and its parts, so you can avoid making a dreaded emergency service call in the middle of the night. ## **Save Money on Your Energy Bill** Everyone wants to save money where they can. The good news is, regularly replacing your furnace filter can help you save money on your monthly energy bill and potentially avoid expensive repairs in the future. When a filter is heavily clogged, the furnace works harder to perform at its normal level, which in turn causes your furnace to use more energy. ## **Promote Healthy Indoor Air Quality** Filters that have been in place for too long have a high chance of becoming clogged or obstructed, which hurts its ability to filter harmful dust and debris from your home’s air. In fact, heavily clogged filters can recirculate contaminated air back into your home. Changing your furnace filter once per month during heavy-use seasons will substantially improve your indoor air quality. ## **Keep Internal System Components Clean** Your furnace filter not only keeps large amounts of dust and pollen from entering your home, it also prevents dust from penetrating your furnace, minimizing the chance foreign particle buildup will damage the internal components. Allowing your system to become polluted will cause your furnace to require repairs and replacement parts down the road. ## **Maintain Warm and Efficient Airflow** This may seem obvious, but replacing your air filters regularly will help keep your home warm this winter. While the Sacramento area may not experience much if any snowfall, nighttime temperatures average in the mid-30s in January. A properly functioning furnace will provide extra comfort on those cold nights. ## **Don’t Forget Regularly Scheduled Maintenance** Replacing your furnace filter is just one easy step you can take to keep your furnace running at an optimum level this winter. However, some things are best left to the professionals, which is why scheduling regular maintenance for your heating systems will go a long way towards extending the life of your furnace and helping you save money and stay warm in the meantime.

Regular tune-ups will go a long way toward ensuring your furnace will run smoothly and efficiently for the entirety of the season. ### **How Maintenance Helps You** The last thing you want is to find your furnace isn’t up to the task on a cold, Northern California night, when temperatures dip into the 30s on average. Likewise, sky-high energy bills can be just as frightful. Ensuring your furnace is running at its best will help you avoid high energy bills caused by an inefficient unit working harder than it should to comfortably heat your home. A system tune-up can help you avoid unexpected repairs or worse, making a dreaded emergency service call in the middle of the night. Just as you have preventative maintenance done on your vehicle, having your furnace regularly serviced could save you a lot of money and hassle, if not right now, then perhaps down the road. ### **Tune-Up Tips** When you’re ready to switch on your furnace for the first time this fall, here are some easy things to do and look for to make sure your system is running at peak performance. - **Change the filters** – Putting in new air filters prior to using your furnace will help your unit run more efficiently in addition to keeping dust, pollen and other indoor air quality nuisances out. - **Clean your air vents** – Like replacing air filters, cleaning the vents and registers will keep heat flowing evenly and efficiently through your home and prevent the circulation of dust. Don’t forget to make sure there’s nothing blocking the vents as well. - **Clear space around the system** – This mostly applies if you’re system is outdoors – Be sure to clear at least several feet of space around the system by removing leaves, sticks and other clutter. - **Be sure it’s working** – Don’t wait until the last minute to confirm all of your system’s components are working properly. Do yourself a favor and turn on your furnace and make sure heat is being evenly distributed into each room before you really need it. - **Calibrate your thermostat** – When you turn on your system, set the temperature and use one or two additional thermometers to confirm your system is evenly heating your home at the desired temperature. ### **Have a Professional Take a Look** Doing some of your own tune-up work is an excellent idea, but there are some things you’re better off having a professional look for prior to relying on your system for a long winter. Certain internal or unseen issues can have costly long-term ramifications if not diagnosed and fixed early. You may want to have a professional HVAC technician perform some basic tune-up tasks, such as checking the system pressure, checking the carbon monoxide detector, cleaning applicable equipment and checking for ductwork or ventilation leaks. Addressing these common issues now will help tremendously in the future with both system reliability, safety and comfort for your family. ## **HVAC Service Experts You Can Trust** When it comes to getting regular maintenance done on your HVAC system, it’s imperative you receive service from an expert you can trust. Bonney Plumbing technicians will check for everything from quick fixes and adjustments to more serious issues, all while providing an honest assessment.

Your Nose Might Know    ](https://www.bonney.com/blog/whats-smell-coming-heater-nose-might-know/) **Published:** October 7, 2016 **Author:** Josh Tyack **Content:** There are a variety of stinky smells that can occur when you first turn on the heater after it’s been idle all spring and summer long. Some smells are common and ![Funny Heater Smells | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/smelly-heater-300x200.jpg)completely normal. But you should never ignore a foul odor coming from your furnace. Don’t just cover it up with a Yankee Candle! When your furnace is not used for a while, dust can collect on the heat exchanger and duct work. When you turn on the furnace, the dust will burn off and release a slight burning odor throughout the home. It’s a familiar odor that your nose knows all about. The smell should disappear in a few hours. Open a window or two and that should help eliminate that ongoing burning smell. It’s usually nothing to be worried about. If you haven’t changed your air filter for several months it could also be the cause of a funny smell. A clean filter is essential to delivering warm, healthy air to the rooms in your home. The filters take out the allergens and airborne particles, such as mold spores, pollen, dust and pet dander. Filters work to clean the air before your furnace is heated, so that the circulated air is free of allergy-producing chemicals. When the filter becomes dirty or extremely soiled, it cannot work as intended because the fiber filters are clogged with dirt and dust. Some of these contaminants can give off a smell and stink up the house. Your heating system’s life can be extended and malfunctions can be prevented by keeping up with furnace filter changes. An unusual burning smell could be the furnace blower. The furnace blower works by taking heat from your furnace and sending it around your home. The heating unit’s temperature is managed by the blower, keeping your system from getting too hot internally. When a blower becomes inefficient, the furnace may overheat, producing the burning smell throughout your home. That’s when it’s time to call the Certified Premier Technicians at Bonney Plumbing, Heating and Air. A mechanical or electrical burning smell coming from the heater is also a sign you should call the HVAC professionals at Bonney as soon as possible. An electrical smell may indicate that certain parts on the inside are burning due to general wear and tear. These parts will possibly need replacing. If you notice electrical smells coming from your furnace, proceed with caution and turn it off immediately. When it comes to funny smells coming from your furnace, some are completely harmless and others are something you want an HVAC professional to inspect and investigate. Regularly scheduled maintenance of your heating and air conditioning unit by a Bonney Certified Premier HVAC technician can cut down on unusual odors that come from your heating and air system. Don’t hesitate to give Bonney a call at 800-444-0551. Our customer care representatives would love to assist you. ![Josh Tyack HVAC Manager Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JOSH-TYACK.jpg) [Josh Tyack](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/joshtyack/) Josh Tyack is the manager of the HVAC repair team at Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, Electrical, Heating & Air.

Indoor air quality solutions may be the place to start. The [EPA](https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/introduction-indoor-air-quality) suggests that poor indoor air quality can have both short-term and long-term health impacts. Thankfully, the [Bonney Air Quality](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) experts know a thing or two about keeping your indoor atmosphere clean and healthy. Here is a look at ten [air quality solutions](https://www.bonney.com/2020/04/air-quality-seasonal-allergies/) that can help you breathe easier. ## **Air Quality Boost 1: Change Air Filters** Your air filters are designed to trap contaminants lingering in your air; however, they cannot do their jobs properly when the filters become clogged. Not only can skipping a filter change increase the contaminants in your air, but it can also cause costly declination within your HVAC system. Thankfully, changing your air filters is a quick, easy, and affordable process—one that can save you money while improving your air quality. ## **Air Quality Boost 2: Electronic Air Cleaner** When your heating and cooling system is on, the air passes through a filter to capture large particles like dust, dirt, and pet dander. However, smaller contaminants can pass through this filter and circulate your home freely. Electronic air cleaners are designed to bridge this filtration gap. These systems use electrostatic attraction to draw contaminants out of your air. They effectively capture the smaller particles—like bacteria—that your HVAC filter misses, leaving you breathing easier and minimizing health risks. ## **Air Quality Boost 3: Reduce Indoor Chemicals** While you might think of air toxins as unwelcomed visitors, you may still be actively inviting them inside. Chemicals can enter your home or business through harsh cleaners, pesticides, or even the fumes crafting projects. To keep chemicals out of your air supply, try switching to all-natural cleaning products and complete fume-heavy crafts outdoors or in well-ventilated spaces. ## **Air Quality Boost 4: Fresh Air Ventilation** Despite being continuously filtered, the pollutions inside your home can become up to 2-5 times more concentrated than they are outdoors, according to the [EPA](https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/indoor-air-quality). This is because pollutants become trapped inside and recirculate, unlike wide particle disbursement outside. To breathe more of that clean, outdoor air, you need [fresh air ventilation](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/fresh-air-ventilation/). These systems seamlessly integrate fresh air into your heating and cooling system. Best of all, fresh air ventilators regulate the temperature of the air they bring indoors, so you can have high-quality air without bringing the cold or warm outdoor conditions inside. ## **Air Quality Boost 5: Germicidal UVC Light Purification** Whether you are worried about seasonal colds or harmful viruses, sterilizing the air can help keep those in your home or business safe. Rather than just trapping airborne bacteria and viruses, a [germicidal UVC light](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) can be used to kill them on the spot. This system is installed directly into your HVAC ductwork to purify the air before it is circulated throughout your building. While germicidal UVC light technology is rapidly gaining popularity, it is best to find an experienced expert in your area who, like Bonney, has a long history of installing and replacing these units. ## **Air Quality Boost 6: Well-Maintained Plumbing** It takes a closer look to recognize the important role that [plumbing](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) plays in air quality. When your plumbing incurs even a minor plumbing leak, it can lead to mold growth inside of your home or business. This mold can create harmful indoor air as well as costly water damage. It is essential to keep your eye out for plumbing leaks at all times. With [regular checks and tune-ups](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-automatic-maintenance-bam/sign-up-for-bam/), an expert can catch leaks you may have missed early to prevent mold and water damage. ## **Air Quality Boost 7: Clean Drains** Washing your hands becomes significantly less sanitary when the contaminated water is then left sitting in your sink. Much like a plumbing leak, standing water in your kitchen or bathrooms can create an environment of excess moisture that fosters a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. This is where drain health becomes essential. Your [drain system](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) carries away water to prevent excess humidity. When clogs prevent proper drainage, [professional drain cleaning](https://www.bonney.com/2020/07/professional-drain-cleaning-benefits/) can clear away the blockages in your pipes and ensure that they stay clear for extended periods of time. ## **Air Quality Boost 8: Indoor Plants** Plants are known for freshening up indoor air. While they cannot replace structural air quality control, they can provide a cleaning boost with an attractive aesthetic. You just need to ensure that your home or business provides the lighting and care that your plant needs to thrive. ## **Air Quality Boost 9: HVAC System Cleaning and Maintenance** Your HVAC system is responsible for distributing air throughout your home or your [business](https://www.bonney.com/2020/07/4-reopening-steps/). If the system itself is dirty, it can impact the quality of your air. For regular upkeep, HVAC seasonal maintenance will keep your system clean while also [saving you money](https://www.bonney.com/2020/06/saving-money-with-hvac-maintenance/) and preserving your unit. Dirt and contaminants can also get distributed by your ductwork. Ductwork cleaning involves removing the dirt, dust, dander, bacteria, and more that builds up in your system over time. This ensures that the passageways your air travels through are sanitary and gives your building a fresh start on air quality. ## **Air Quality Boost 10: Clean Indoor Habits** Some elements of air quality—like pollution—are beyond your control, while others are influenced by you directly. Everything from pet dandruff to cooking habits can impact the air quality in your home or business. By cleaning, vacuuming, and dusting regularly, you can prevent these particles from circulating throughout your air. ## **Bonney Air Quality Solutions for Homes and Businesses** When you are looking for ways to improve indoor air quality, Bonney is here for you.

Here at Bonney, we understand that this is an important decision for homeowners in and around Sacramento. Our air conditioning experts are here to help! Here are six factors to consider when deciding between an [air conditioning repair](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) and an [air conditioning replacement](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/). ## **Is Your Unit Under Warranty?** When you encounter an issue with your air conditioning system, you should first check to see if you still have a warranty. When an AC unit is under warranty, your repair or replacement could come at no cost to you. It is essential to note that some warranties can be voided if you did not keep up with the proper maintenance your unit needed. If you think your warranty may still be intact, check with your HVAC provider to see which repair or replacement options are covered. **How Old is Your AC Unit and What Does the Maintenance History Look Like?** One of the primary factors that homeowners consider in the value of an AC unit is its age. The average HVAC system can last between 12-25 years. However, this number is a rough estimate that can be impacted by several factors, including the climate you live in, the [brand](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/quality-brands/) of your AC unit, and its maintenance history. While you might think that your AC unit has a few years left on its lifespan, AC longevity predictions come with the assumption that you have maintained the manufacturer-recommended care. If you haven’t kept up with [HVAC maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-automatic-maintenance-bam/), your unit may not meet these lifespan predictions. ## **How Damaged Is Your Air Conditioning Unit?** Imagine visiting a mechanic for a car repair and learning that you needed an entirely new engine. In this case, the decision to buy a new car rather than an expensive engine replacement may seem obvious. The same goes for large HVAC repairs. When deciding whether to have your AC unit repaired or replaced, it is important to first have an expert evaluate the extent of the problem. Structural declination—like corrosion and rust—and irreparable damage to central components of your system may not be worth the trouble to repair. Much like an engine replacement, these extensive repairs would still leave you with an old unit that could encounter different problems down the road. ## **How Much Does Your AC Cost to Repair?** One of the biggest deciding factors of an AC repair versus an AC replacement is the cost of the needed repair. If you are dealing with a quick, simple, and affordable fix, there is no need to throw the entire unit away. Small repairs are likely to be necessary on occasion throughout the lifespan of your unit. Conversely, an expensive repair could have you paying the price of a new unit without the benefits a new system would provide. In these cases, it is important to ask an expert about the long-term cost predictions for your unit. If you have a reliable unit from a trusted brand name, a slightly more expensive repair may be worth it, especially if it could give your unit another 5 years of life. However, if your unit is likely to need multiple repairs in the next five years, even small service visits could begin to add up. When considering repair and replacement costs, it is also helpful to consider the [financing options](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/financing-options/), rebates, and [coupons](https://www.bonney.com/coupons-specials/) available to you. For example, a [SMUD rebate](https://www.smud.org/en/Rebates-and-Savings-Tips), [BAM rebate](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/), or [government tax credit](https://www.energystar.gov/) may tip the scale to make air conditioning replacement options more affordable than your repair. Conversely, a [membership service discount](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-automatic-maintenance-bam/) might help make your AC repair a more attractive option. Trusted HVAC experts—like those at Bonney—will work hard to provide quality service at a fair price no matter your situation. ## **How Long Do You Plan To Stay In Your Home?** Do you plan to live in your current home forever? Are you planning to move ASAP? This consideration could impact your decision to repair or replace your HVAC system. ### **You Plan to Live in Your Home Long-term** If you have an older unit and you plan to stay in your home long-term, this becomes a question of ***when*** you will need to replace your unit rather than ***if*** you will need to replace your unit. While it is still an important decision, your HVAC expert can assess your system and help you understand when a [repair or replacement](https://www.bonney.com/heating/broken-heater-or-ac-repair-or-replace/) is a good option for you. ### **You Plan to Sell Your Home Soon** This question of repair versus replacement becomes a bit more complicated if you plan to sell your home soon. One benefit that a new HVAC unit provides is that it can improve your home’s market interest and retail value. You might also consider a [PACE financing option](https://www.bonney.com/2020/04/plumbing-hvac-and-electrical-financing-with-bonney/), which would provide the appeal of a new unit and incorporate the cost of your system into your property’s tax bills. If you sell your home, these payments would be transferred to the new homeowner. Alternatively, if you are planning to sell your home as-is for a reduced price, you may opt for a small repair to get by rather than investing in a full HVAC replacement. ## **How Efficient Is Your AC Unit?** It is no secret that new air conditioning units can be expensive. While you might want to save money on the costs of a new HVAC unit, a replacement will also bring long-term savings benefits. For example, new HVAC units often come with higher energy efficiency and lower electricity bills. While it might be a higher price up front, a new unit will help you avoid repair costs and lower your monthly electricity bills. Take a look at how much you are paying in energy costs for your current AC unit and ask your HVAC specialist how much a new unit could save you. ## **Air Conditioning Repair and Replacement in Sacramento** If your air conditioning unit is giving your trouble this spring, contact the experts at Bonney before the warm summer months begin. Our Sacramento air conditioning specialists can help you decide whether a repair or replacement is best for you. We will help you understand your [financing options](https://www.bonney.com/financing/) and work with you to create a plan that fits your home and your budget.

(December 12, 2014) – The Cal Expo Board of Directors unanimously approved a proposal to expand seating at Bonney Field from the current seating of 8,000 to 10,500+ seats for the 2015 season. Expansion includes new seats, as well as re-configuring some of the existing seating. ![bonney-field-concept2](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/bonney-field-concept2-1024x580.jpg) Given 2014’s sold out attendance and since the teams’ USL PRO National Championship victory at Bonney Field, the idea of adding more seats to supply the demand made sense. Sacramento Republic FC reports that more than 7,200 season tickets have already been sold for the 2015 season. “We are thrilled with Cal Expo’s Board decision,” said Jimmy Crabbe, CEO and co-owner of Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air & Rooter Service. “I have always known that soccer is the world’s most exciting and popular sport, but Sacramento Republic’s first year has been mind-boggling even to me. Bonney is proud to be a part of the energy and growth of soccer in our community and can’t wait for the 2015 season at Bonney Field.” “We are humbled and grateful to the Cal Expo Board and their continued support of Sacramento Republic FC and Bonney Field,” said Republic FC President Warren Smith. “We look forward to continued growth through our partnership with Ovations Food Service and Cal Expo to bring benefits to all our organizations and the fans of Republic FC.” Construction of the new seating is estimated to be completed prior to the home opener of the Sacramento Republic FC season which is scheduled for late March. **ABOUT BONNEY PLUMBING, HEATING, AIR AND ROOTER SERVICE** Founded in 1978, Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air & Rooter Service has been serving families in the Greater Sacramento region and beyond.

Bonney CEO, **Jimmy Crabbe’**, wanted to further the company’s tradition of community involvement by supporting the new USL Pro soccer team, Sacramento Republic FC, and the youth events that will be taking place at Bonney Field. ![JimmywGirl_4web-680x453](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/JimmywGirl_4web-680x453.jpg) In this work, Jimmy has met with many families Bonney serves in the community. One story especially touched his team when they learned of a ten year-old girl who was saved through soccer. Young **Riley Simmons** was a competitive athlete and a good soccer player. It was on the field that her parents and coach noticed Riley’s movements were increasingly impaired. Through testing and doctor visits, they learned the grave news that Riley was diagnosed with brain cancer. As you can imagine, the emotional and physical toll this took on the entire family. Riley bravely underwent brain surgery to remove her tumor and endured many difficult chemotherapy sessions. Through every step of the way, it was Riley who proved to be the rock for the family. Now a year later, Riley is actively going through therapy and relearning key motor and speech functions. Riley is hoping that one day, she will compete on the soccer field again. **Bonney recognized her indomitable spirit and wanted to celebrate her courageous fight against cancer**. **On Friday, June 20th, Riley, her parents and two sisters will accompany the Bonney team in opening the new soccer stadium, Bonney Field. Riley and her family will experience a day of VIP treatment starting at the Bonney facility and finishing at Bonney Field.** Jimmy Crabbe’ stated, “Riley embodies the spirit of an indomitable city. Always steadfast and positively looking ahead, she continues to make incredible strides forward. Bonney’s passion is giving back to the community in which it starts. We can’t wait to see the smile on Riley’s face when she walks proudly onto the field. Her story, her strength, and her perseverance inspires us all and we are honored to accommodate this special moment in her life.” **About Bonney:** Founded in 1978, Bonney has been serving families in the Greater Sacramento region and beyond.

Some of our technicians told us what they’re thankful for this Thanksgiving. **Categories:** Video --- ### [New Year’s Resolutions for Your Home](https://www.bonney.com/blog/new-years-resolutions-home/) **Published:** January 3, 2017 **Author:** Josh Tyack **Content:** Did you make any New Year’s Resolutions this year? The top 3 resolutions were: 1. Enjoy life to the fullest 2. Live a healthier lifestyle 3. Lose Weight But, what about a New Year’s Resolution for your home? You want your home to be happy and healthy too. Here are Bonney’s Top 5 New Year’s Resolutions for your home. ![HVAC Tune-Up | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/HVAC-checkup-225x300.jpg) ## Resolution #1: Tune Up Your A/C System In the New Year resolve to tune-up your HVAC system and give it some extra TLC. An annual inspection of both the furnace and the A/C will extend the life of the system, reveal potential health hazards (like a carbon monoxide leak), and help cut down on energy bills. A thorough Bonney [precision tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) on your heating and air conditioning systems will keep them running at peak efficiency. ## ## ## Resolution #2: Flush Your Water Heater ![Water Heater Flush | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/water-heater-flush-300x225.jpeg) Draining the water heater is something we all need to do on a regular basis, especially if there’s rumbling, popping, and crackling coming from it. That bubbling sound you hear could be mineral buildup at the bottom of your water heater. Sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank means it takes longer for the flame to heat the water, preventing the water heater from working efficiently. Sediment also causes cracks in a water heater and with enough build-up, the tank might stop working altogether. Resolve to flush annually! ### ## Resolution #3: Replacing Your Air Filter ![Air Filter Replacement | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/replacing-your-air-filter-300x147.jpg) A dirty air filter is the most common reason a heating and air conditioning unit breaks down. As dirt accumulates, air can’t pass through and the system may overheat. This makes the motor work much harder and your air conditioning unit may have to be repaired. In older units it could push it over the edge and be the end of the road. Kaput! Replacing your air filter on a regular basis can also keep your energy costs down. When your dirty clogged up air filter is working harder, more energy is being used, which can cause your bill to skyrocket. When you consistently change your air filter, you can save from 5 to 15 percent on your utility bill. ## Resolution #4. Replace CFL bulbs with LED Lighting ![LED Lighting Options | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/led-lighting-thumb-300x169.jpg) Let there be bright light! Think about it. The same LED technology that lights up the Times Square Ball on New Year’s Eve can also be used to brighten your home. There are numerous benefits to replacing your CFL bulbs with LED lighting. LED’s are notable for being extremely long lasting. LED bulbs have an average lifespan of up to 11 years. Which means you won’t have to get on a step ladder and change out a light bulb every few months. Many LEDs have a rated life of up to 50,000 hours, which is approximately 50 times longer than a typical incandescent bulb and 8-10 times longer than a CFL bulb. LED lights are very energy efficient. They use just 10 percent of the energy of incandescent lights and less than half the energy of compact fluorescent bulbs. An LED that uses 6 watts of electricity produces the same amount of light as a 14-watt CFL bulb or a 60-watt incandescent bulb. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, electricity used for artificial lighting in the U.S. could be cut by nearly half by 2030 through the adoption of high efficiency LEDs. ## Resolution #5: Save Money. Save Water. Fix The Leaks! ![Leaky Faucet | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/leaky-faucet-300x200.jpg) A leaky faucet or running toilet can be more than a little annoying. Not only is it annoying, it can cost you a lot of money. The EPA estimates that the average household leak can lead to 10,000 gallons of water wasted per year. A leaky running toilet is another water waster that will make your water meter spin and cause your water bill to skyrocket. Save Money, Save Water. Fix the leaks!

(June 21, 2015) – Local business, Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air and Rooter Service, who has been serving Sacramento area customers since 1978, partnered with Make-A-Wish’s Adopt-A-Wish program to see that local resident, Anna’s wish came true.

Since then she’s undergone surgery, radiation, an extended hospital stay for meningitis and she recently finished chemotherapy treatment. Anna’s family members, friends, and Sac Republic FC fans were on hand to celebrate the surprise reveal of Anna’s wish at the Sac Republic’s home match on Saturday, June 20, at Bonney Field. During the surprise halftime presentation, Bonney’s CEO, Laurie Johnson, presented Anna with a medal of bravery for her courage and strength. A video highlighting Anna’s journey played on the jumbotron and ended with the announcement that Anna was receiving her wish – a trip to Disney World for her and her family. The trip starts with a limo ride to the airport and also includes tickets to LegoLand, Sea World and Universal Studios. “I think I speak for all of us when I say that Anna’s bravery is nothing short of remarkable. All of us at Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air and Rooter Service hope that this trip will provide a much needed respite for Anna and her family.” said Laurie Johnson, Bonney’s CEO. “We are honored to be an Adopt-A-Wish sponsor and making Anna’s dream come true is exactly what our Bonney Cares program is all about.” Bonney Cares is Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air and Rooter Service’s philanthropic program that highlights its commitment to charity work in the communities it serves. --- ***About Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air and Rooter Service*** *Founded in 1978, Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air and Rooter Service has been serving families in the Greater Sacramento region and beyond.

Not only are these symptoms bothersome, but they could also disturb your respiratory system. With COVID-19 concerns still at-large, the last thing you need is an allergy cough or a sore throat. Now is the time to begin protecting your health with clean indoor air. These five solutions from Bonney can readily resolve all of your home’s air quality concerns. ## **Should I be Worried About My Home’s Air Quality?** You might think of your indoor air as much cleaner than the outdoor air, but your home is likely trapping pollutants indoors. The [EPA reports](https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/indoor-air-quality), “Americans, on average, spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors, where the concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations.” This makes it air quality important for all Americans. However, you may take extra consideration into [air quality solutions](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PUwioajTJg&feature=emb_title) if: - **You frequently use the fireplace or stove:** Both your fireplace and your stove release gasses that can accumulate in your home without proper ventilation. - **Your home is sealed:** Home sealing is a great way to save money on your energy bills; however, you may have been relying on these open points in your home for ventilation. - **Someone in your home has respiratory concerns:** Indoor air quality is important for everyone, but it is essential to older adults and young children as well as those with asthma and other respiratory problems. - **You live with pets:** Your furry friends often have dander that may lower the air quality in your home and irritate your allergies. If you are concerned about your home’s indoor air quality, speak with an expert today. They can help you determine whether or not you need air quality help and which of these five solutions is best for you. ## **Air Quality and Frequent HVAC Care** Without proper cleaning and care, your heating and air conditioning system could be distributing airborne contaminants throughout your home. During a [seasonal maintenance visit](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/), an expert will clean your system and your HVAC air filter. In addition to promoting indoor air quality, this also helps protect your HVAC unit and keep your system running efficiently. ## **Duct Cleaning and Professional Care** Your HVAC system often relies on ductwork to distribute air throughout your home. These passages can gather dust, mold, mildew, and other breathing irritants, which makes it important that they are cleaned from time to time. Your home’s insulation, filtration, and duct sealing can all impact the cleanliness of your ductwork. The process of cleaning your ductwork also depends on your home and your system’s composition. Thankfully, your ductwork does not need to be cleaned as frequently as your heating and air conditioning unit. It is recommended that you consider duct cleaning once every five years, assuming that your ductwork is sealed and that you have the necessary insulation and filters in place. ## **Germicidal UVC Lamp for Clean Air** While HVAC maintenance will keep your system clean, you can take this sanitation one step further with a [Germicidal UVC Lamp](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/). A heating and cooling professional can install this lamp inside your unit to neutralize bacteria and airborne viruses while cleaning the air you breathe. This can help you breathe easier no matter the season or the allergies it may bring. ## **Fresh Air Ventilation** You may think the ventilation and air filtration provided by your HVAC system is enough to keep your air fresh and clean; however, this only helps your indoor air quality when your system is running. This means that in spring and autumn—when allergies are widespread but temperatures are more comfortable—you will not reap the ventilation benefits of your HVAC system. Additionally, even when your HVAC system is on full blast, it may not be providing sufficient ventilation for your home. [Fresh air ventilation](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/fresh-air-ventilation/) provides an indoor air quality solution that can work even when your HVAC system is turned off. There are two common types of fresh air ventilators: Heat Recovery Ventilators and Energy Recovery Ventilators. ### **Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV)** These ventilation systems work to keep your indoor air clean by filtering air and regulating its temperature as it enters your home. This system can work independently or in conjunction with your HVAC system. ### **Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV) Energy Recovery Ventilators work similarly to Heat Recovery Ventilators with the added consideration for the latent heat in air humidity. This means that they measure comfort level instead of temperature in the outdoor air. If you need additional ventilation in your home, these systems provide an easy and efficient solution for you to take advantage of. ## **Electronic Air Cleaners** For a proven way to eliminate air contaminants in your home, an Electronic Air Cleaner may be the solution you are looking for. By using electronic attraction, these filters reduce the number of indoor airborne contaminants in your home. Electronic air cleaners first trap dust, dander, and other large particles in a prefilter before they can enter your building. They then attract and trap any smaller bacteria particles to leave the circulating air in your home clean. ## **Contact Bonney for Air Quality Service** With COVID-19 concerns rising on top of seasonal allergies, now is the time to take clean indoor air seriously. The team at Bonney is working hard to ensure the safety of our staff and our customers by following all of the guidelines put in place by the CDC.

Bonney and Republic FC also will collaborate on a variety of community activities, including brining youth and families to matches. **ABOUT SACRAMENTO REPUBLIC FC** Sacramento Republic FC is an expansion franchise of USL PRO.

Philanthropic is a fancy way of saying Do Good, Be Kind, and Help People.** For over 40 years Bonney has been doing good, being kind, and giving back to the local community we care about. It’s not just talk, we put our words into action. At Bonney, we especially take pride in helping those less fortunate who may need a helping hand. ![Charles C](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/bonney-customer-225x300.jpg) Last week Bonney Plumbing had an opportunity to help a disabled senior citizen in South Sacramento who was having major plumbing issues. His main sewer line was backing up in his toilet, sink, and tub. Charles C., who has several serious health issues and uses a walker to get around had a plumber come out who would clear the clog every couple months, but the problem still persisted and was getting steadily worse. Charles needed a permanent solution, not just a Band-aid fix. His toilet, bathtub, and sink were backing up again, and that’s when he called Bonney. Bonney 5-star certified plumber Eric Sanchez showed up to Charles’ home in South Sacramento to perform 5-star sewer service. He tried to cable the line so Charles could get things flowing again but it was a no-go. *“I tried for 30 minutes but something was blocking it.”* Eric said. The Bonney Sewer & Drain duo of Nick Camuso and Kyle Simms came out to camera the line with Bonney-vision technology. As suspected, they found sections of the sewer line were collapsed due to tree root intrusion and the age of the pipe. There was no doubt, his sewer line needed to be replaced. Bonney tried to get Charles special no interest financing from various credit companies, but he did not qualify. That’s when Charles’ eyes started tearing up. He was feeling despondent and desperate. Charles has no family in the area to rely on. He just scrapes by on a fixed income every month. His caregiver, Zetta, told us he was really stressed out about the whole situation and it was having an effect on his already frail health. *“When you can’t use your own bathroom, then what?”* she said. She called around to various agencies to see if Charles could get some financial assistance but nothing was available. Things were getting desperate. That’s when Charles took out his Bible and started to pray. ![Inspecting Drain](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/techs-drain-camera-225x300.jpg)Bonney Technicians Inspecting the Drain This was not a typical sewer and drain call for our Bonney plumbers. They knew deep down they had to do something to help Charles out. He had nowhere to turn. They collectively thought, *”Lets do it, lets help this man out and do it for free.”* Kyle added, *“Honestly, it’s an amazing feeling to perform a good deed. We’re blessed at Bonney to be able to help those who need it most in our community.”* Charles was definitely in desperate need of help, and Bonney stepped up to the plate for him. Charles said he was praying to the lord when *“the nice young man from Bonney knocked on my door, and that’s when he laid the good news on me”.* Charles was flabbergasted! *“I could barely sleep that night. I couldn’t believe it. Is this real? Am I dreaming? You gotta have plumbing, you know?”* While the Bonney 5-star certified sewer and drain team were working hard to replace the main sewer line for Charles, his caretaker Zetta arrived to take him to another one of his doctor visits. Charles would no longer have to worry about his toilet, bathtub, and sink backing up. He could now focus solely on his health. Zetta said, *“These days, it’s nearly impossible to get anything for free. What Bonney did is beyond comprehension”.* Charles was extremely thankful. He’s a deeply religious man who had his bible within reach on the kitchen table. Charles said, *“If God hadn’t put me in his heart, I don’t know where’d I’d be. I thank God above first, then Bonney”.* **Categories:** Bonney Cares --- ### [Meet Bo - Your Home Water Quality Expert](https://www.bonney.com/blog/meet-bo-your-home-water-quality-expert/) **Published:** March 23, 2015 **Author:** Bonney Plumbing, Heating & Air **Content:** Meet Bo, he loves to help out his neighbors and you!

Bonney began requesting nominations in June from community members to help those facing physical, mental, or social disabilities, financial challenges, or job loss. Military and community service were also critical factors for choosing a Feel the Love recipient. You can watch our video here or read our full recap below. “We received more than 50 nominations from across the greater Sacramento region,” said Oscar Poort, General Manager from Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating, and Air. “The committee chose Karriem Glaster from Rancho Cordova as we learned he was a disabled veteran that served in the army, he has asthma and just didn’t have the resources to replace a non-working unit since he moved to his house over five years ago.” For the past 10 years, Lennox’ Feel The Love program has donated heating and cooling equipment to help deserving residents across the country, helping more than 1,300 families stay comfortable and safe in their homes. This is the first year that Bonney has taken part in the social responsibility event, and says they will continue to do so for years to come. “It’s been tough living in a house with a non-working system that’s more than 27 years old,” said Karriem Glaster, an army veteran from Rancho Cordova. “As a homeowner, you always have a lot of conflicting priorities and we just didn’t have the money to buy a new furnace and new air conditioning, so this is a great and much-needed surprise. I’m in shock and very grateful.” Karriem and his wife Kimberly are celebrating their fifth anniversary since moving to their home on the same day as they are receiving their two units. “It’s overwhelming to me because I’m getting chills just thinking about it,” said Kimberly Glaster, Karriem’s wife. “This winter I’m not going to be freezing like normal with my blanket and my hat and my gloves, it’s just going to be so nice.” **Categories:** Bonney Cares, Company News & Press --- ### [Meet the Bonney Team](https://www.bonney.com/blog/meet-the-bonney-team/) **Published:** March 26, 2015 **Author:** Bonney Plumbing, Heating & Air **Content:** \[bpl\_content content\_type=”cpt\_videos” id=”11052″ align=”clearfix” size=”col-lg-12″ carousel=”yes” review\_output=”excerpt” my\_aw\_output=”my\_aw\_mr” adhoc\_display=”review-single” adhoc\_rating=”0″ btn\_size=”btn-md” btn\_color=”btn-danger” btn\_svc\_code=”yes” \] **Categories:** TV Commercials, Video --- ### [Skip the Pump and go Electric with Bonney and ClipperCreek!](https://www.bonney.com/blog/skip-the-pump-and-go-electric-with-bonney-and-clippercreek/) **Published:** April 6, 2020 **Author:** Curtis Roles **Content:** As residents in the larger Sacramento area continue to make this switch to environmentally-friendly automotive options—like electric vehicles—the professionals at Bonney have taken notice. In alignment with our commitment to serving the needs of Sacramento residents, we have adapted our offerings to accommodate EV drivers. We are proud to announce a new partnership with ClipperCreek, a worldwide leader in Electric Vehicle supply equipment.

Our experts chose ClipperCreek because it is among the industry’s most trusted brands.

ClipperCreek offers a wide range of products, which affords our customers the opportunity to choose a charging station that accommodates their needs, budgets, vehicles, and driving patterns. Their products are customer-centered, leading the EV charging market in popularity, safety, reliability, and affordability. ## Benefits of Residential EV Charging Stations When you make the switch to an electric vehicle, you are committing to improving air quality, fighting climate change, and lowering your carbon footprint. However, this switch can feel less rewarding when you are continuously worried about your vehicle’s charge. Here is how a residential EV charging station can improve your experience. - **Inexpensive Charging** – When you charge at a public charging station, you will likely pay inflated hourly bills. At-home charging will let you tap into your low, stable residential electricity rates. The [US Department of Energy](https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_charging_home.html) estimates that at-home charging costs just $0.04 for each mile of charge. - **Convenience** – Gone are the days of going out of your way to look for a port and needing to rush back to retrieve your vehicle when it is ready. Instead, fuel your EV on your own schedule from the convenience of your garage. - **Federal Tax Credit** – Congress recently passed a retroactive federal tax credit for those who purchased environmentally responsible transportation, including costs for EV charging infrastructure. You can receive a federal tax credit of 30% of the cost of purchasing and installing an EV charging station. [Click here for details](https://www.clippercreek.com/tax-credits/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Your+Charging+Station+Purchase+May+Be+Eligible+For+Federal+Tax+Credit&utm_campaign=2020+Tax+Credit+Extended). - **Increased Home Value** – Your residential charging station can help boost the value of your home and serve as a selling point when you are ready to move. - **Peace of Mind** – Have you ever found yourself worrying about your range, charge levels, and the safety of public stations? At-home EV charging stations eliminate all of these risks, giving you continuous peace of mind. Now that you’ve joined the ranks of the environmentally conscious and smart consumers everywhere, make sure you’re fully enjoying the electric vehicle experience. Our Bonney Electrical specialists can help you choose your perfect ClipperCreek charging station and seamlessly complete your installation. ## Which EV Charging Station Is Right For Me? The professionals at Bonney know that each electric vehicle owner has different needs for their EV Charging Station. There are currently two primary EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) options available: Level 1 EVSE and Level 2 EVSE. ### Level 1 EVSE Also called “trickle” charging stations, Level 1 EVSE units are slower stations designed for more moderate EV needs. Many electric vehicles come with one of these chargers, and drivers may consider buying a second as a backup or replacement. These units use a 120 volt (V) AC plug, and they range in power from 12-20 Amps. #### Pros of Level 1 EVSE - The upfront and operational costs may be lower than a Level 2 unit. - These charging stations can plug into a “standard” outlet on a [dedicated branch circuit](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electrical-home-safety-inspection/). #### Considerations for Level 1 EVSE - These units take much longer to charge vehicles compared to Level 2 EVSE. - Level 1 EVSE units provide smaller driving ranges (only 2-5 miles per 1 hour of charging time). - These units can overwhelm circuits if not connected properly. Level 1 EVSE installations are ideal for businesses that want to provide a perk for visitors and employees with electric vehicles. It also may be suitable for drivers with short commutes. A Level 2 charger is better suited for drivers who will continuously depend on its charging capacity. ### Level 2 EVSE A majority of drivers who invest in a Residential Charging Station are looking for the capacity of a Level 2 EVSE. These units use a 240 volt (V) AC plug, and they can vary in power from 12 Amps to 80 Amps. #### Pros of Level 2 EVSE - Level 2 EVSE stations provide faster and more powerful charging. - These units prove a longer, more sustainable driving range (up to 60 miles per charging hour). - These units help you save significant amounts of time and money when compared to public charging. #### Considerations for Level 2 EVSE - The upfront and charging costs of your Level 2 EVSE may be slightly higher than a Level 1, depending on the unit you choose. However, it is still only about 4 cents per mile. - Your residence must be able to accommodate the electrical requirements of a Level 2 EVSE (thankfully, the electricians at Bonney can help). These units are perfect for drivers who heavily rely on the capacity of their electric vehicles. ## Choosing Between Level 1 EVSE and Level 2 EVSE When it comes to choosing an electric vehicle charger, Bonney experts can help you tailor your decision to the needs of your car and your lifestyle. Here are some of the considerations for choosing a charging station: - **Driving Range** – Many EV drivers plug in their cars for an overnight charge. When using a Level 1 charger, this may still not accrue enough range for an extended trip. If you have a longer commute that requires an extended driving range, a level 2 charger will likely be necessary. - **Hybrid or Fully-Electric Vehicle** – If you are looking for occasional charging for your plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, a Level 1 charger may provide the boost you need. For a fully-electric vehicle, a Level 2 charger will be more suitable for your driving requirements. - **Battery Size** – Smaller electric vehicle batteries may be able to get by with a Level 1 charger, while standard and larger batteries may require a Level 2 EVSE for a sufficient charge. - **Home Capacity** – Careful electrical considerations are required for either type of EVSE. For a Level 1 unit, you need to ensure you are using a dedicated branch circuit. For a Level 2 unit, you need to ensure your electrical panel has the capacity to supply this power. While this may seem like an overwhelming amount of considerations, our Bonney experts are here to help. During our free in-home evaluation, a Bonney certified electrician will assess whether your electrical panel has the capacity for a Level 2 charger and advise you on which kind of charger will best meet your needs. ## Electric Vehicle At-Home Charging Stations From Bonney Safety is key when it comes to Residential EV Charging stations.

Torrential downpours! More heavy rain is happening this week and rain gutters are getting quite a workout. We still need the rain in Sacramento, but you don’t need the excess water that could be creating troubles right underneath you while you sleep. Some homes in the Sacramento area are prone to basement or crawl space flooding. Have you checked your crawl space? It’s not fun to look in the crawl space under the home because you never know what you’re gonna find, besides, that’s where the creepy crawlers hide out! But it’s always wise to shine a flashlight under the house after a heavy downpour to make sure there’s not a lot of water accumulating. Lakefront property is desirable…just not under the house! ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/crawlspace.jpg) Water in the crawl space of your home can create a whole host of problems. The biggest problem would be mold. It can grow on hard surfaces like ducts and joists, not to mention your home’s insulation. Once mold begins to grow it can spread through your home’s ventilation system and cause health problems for you and your family. Standing water stagnates and becomes a rancid source of foul odors and germs. Water bugs, mosquitos, termites, along with mice and rats are attracted to the dark, damp, crawl space and will “set up camp” under your house. Standing water can also rot your wood which deteriorates structural components of your home. Okay, enough about all the problems that can occur when water floods your crawl space. How about a solution? There are plenty of options you can take to help you eliminate crawl space flooding. You can have a sump pump professionally installed. Remove water and protect your crawl space or basement from flooding with a reliable sump pump. A sump pump will help keep your crawl space dry by automatically pumping and channeling water away from the foundation of your house. Another good option is a French drain. A French drain sounds like some fancy shmancy European drain, but is really just a gravel lined trench around the perimeter of the foundation that connects to a pipe and carries water away from the home. The French drain was not invented by the french, but conceived of by an innovative man with many talents from New England named Henry Flagg French. Always try to divert water away from the foundation because rainwater pooling around the foundation seeps into the crawl space through cracks and other openings. The landscape around the perimeter of the house should be graded so water naturally flows away instead of forming puddles that soak into the soil. Keep rain gutters clear and unobstructed to prevent cascading overflow that also permeates soil around the foundation. Make sure gutter downspouts are long enough to discharge water sufficiently far from the perimeter of the house and prevent pooling. You can always add gutter extenders so water flows even farther from the home’s foundation. Got a flooded crawl space or basement? Don’t worry, we’re on it!

The decision to repair your existing heating and air system or to replace it with a new one takes careful consideration. At Bonney, we service and install all brands of heating and air equipment. To help you make the best decision, evaluate the following issues according to your priorities: ## 1) Economics Initially, a new system costs more than a repair. However, in certain situations, it just doesn’t make sense to repair old equipment. Age If your HVAC equipment is more than 12-15 years old, and you have a repair, it could be the beginning of things to come. The first repair is a good time to get a thorough evaluation of your existing system. Bonney’s NATE certified technicians can give you an excellent understanding of the condition of existing components and the cost to replace those components as they fail. Most systems less than 10 years old should be repaired. Bonney systems are available with 10 year parts and labor warranties. We can check with your equipment manufacturer to see if your system is covered under warranty. ### Failed Component Certain major components are so expensive to repair, that it’s better to use that money as a down payment on a new system. Two components require special consideration: compressor and heat exchanger. These parts are not only expensive to repair, but their failure can be an indicator of installation deficiencies that are shortening the life of your equipment. If the compressor or heat exchanger has failed, equipment replacement is usually the best decision. Other failed parts are not usually an indicator to replace your system. ### Frequency How much do you use your heating and air system? If you don’t use it very often, a repair makes more sense than a replacement. However, if you use your system frequently, then upgrading to a new one will provide larger energy savings. The more you use it, the more you will save on energy bills. ### Efficiency Many industry changes over the last decade have created highly efficient comfort systems. The changes mean that your home can be heated or cooled with less energy use, thereby reducing your energy bill, sometimes drastically! Lennox and Rheem are both cutting edge brands installed by Bonney that reflect the highest in available efficiencies. The newer your system is, the more efficient it is and the more likely a repair would be appropriate. ### Financing If you choose to [finance](https://www.bonney.com/financing/) your new system, the monthly payments are frequently less than the dollars saved from efficiency. This is especially true for homes in which an older system is used frequently. In other words, ***some customers will actually save money on a monthly basis by replacing the heating and air system***. ### Rebates & Tax Credits Some manufacturers and utilities offer rebates back to customers who upgrade to energy efficient systems. These incentives aren’t always offered. If they are available when your system breaks, they could be a significant reason to replace instead of repair. Learn more about the [current rebates](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/). ## 2) Comfort Sometimes a system will operate, but it just doesn’t work well. Bonney addresses the following factors when a new system is installed. Any of these problems can severely affect your comfort: Repairing a system will not address these issues, but your Bonney technician may be able to offer an improvement in these areas with other products. ### Infiltration Certain parts of your home can be hotter and cooler because air is transferring through parts of walls, floors, ceilings, windows and doors. These drafts may not be noticeable, but can create hot and cold spots in your home. [Envelope air sealing](https://www.bonney.com/category/energy-savings/ "Envelope Air Sealing") is a service that Bonney provides and can be included as part of a new heating and air system installation. ### Zoning Another way to address the hot and cold spots is through zoning. New technology allows you to have the temperature you want, in the place you want, when you want it. In other words, you can have different temperatures in different rooms of your home. Or, you can reduce the hot and cold spots by meeting the demands of different parts of your home more effectively. Bonney features Honeywell zoning products among other quality brands. ### Control Bonney installs fantastic controls by Honeywell and Emerson that allow you to adjust the temperatures throughout your home, or even a second home, via telephone, internet or phone apps. Or, in your home, you can use a wireless portable comfort control to do the same thing. If you wish, you can see the current outdoor temperature and humidity right on your thermostat and get today’s weather report at the same time. What if there is a problem? We can even establish notifications that alert you and Bonney to potential problems with your system. A little too high tech? Well, we can install the basic round thermostat that you grew up with! ## 3) Reliability One big problem with an old system is that it always seems to break down when you need it the most. The hottest days of the year create the biggest load on your air conditioning system, so that is when it is most likely to break. If the following issues are important to you, a system replacement would be your best decision. If you don’t have these concerns, and can tolerate a little inconvenience, then repairing your system may be a better decision. ### Safety Is someone in your home especially sensitive to extreme temperatures? Older people, children, and people with health issues can suffer as a result of a broken heating and air system. A new system is the best way to have a system working properly to protect those who really need comfortable temperatures. ### Inconvenience An unplanned break down can ruin your whole day, or your whole week!! Even though Bonney does everything we can to reach our customers in a timely manner, we all have better things to do than to meet a repair man. A new, reliable system frees you from that long wait. ### Planning With the [financing](https://www.bonney.com/financing/ "Financing Available") options mentioned above, you can plan your expenses. A surprise heating or cooling failure creates an immediate, and often unbudgeted, expense. A new system, however, not only reduces your energy costs, but allows you to stay in budget too. ![Josh Tyack HVAC Manager Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JOSH-TYACK.jpg) [Josh Tyack](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/joshtyack/) Josh Tyack is the manager of the HVAC repair team at Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, Electrical, Heating & Air.

We received word that a local Army veteran was down on her luck and suffering from the brutal heat in Sacramento. Her air conditioner, which was older than dirt, would just run and run and run, but it wouldn’t cool the house the way it should. Her monthly energy bills were through the roof! The more Bonney learned about Sergeant Kristin Sketchley, the more Bonney wanted to help. Kristen is a U.S. Army veteran who has been to Iraq twice, flying Medivac missions, treating soldiers and Iraqi civilians. She was a flight medic for 10 years. Saving lives was routine for Kristin, but one particular rescue earned her one of the Army’s highest honors, a Soldier’s Medal for Bravery. While holed up during a sand storm, Kristen and her team heard a helicopter and scrambled outside to see it trying to land. All of a sudden she heard bam bam bam. “We just hit the ground , we thought we were being attacked, we really didn’t know what was happening. I’ll never forget the sound of crunching metal just churning and turning.” The helicopter crashed and Kristen rushed to pull the pilot from the wreckage. “We didn’t know what was going to happen. The external fuel tanks had exploded, ammunition was everywhere”. Luckily, the pilot survived with only minor injuries. Due to her bravery and quick-thinking Kristen was awarded with the Soldier’s Medal. Kristen was a hero that day. A day she’ll never forget. One of Kristen’s biggest triggers is the heat in Sacramento. It reminds her of being over in Iraq. “The heat can be tough. When I’m hot and sweating it can sometimes take me back there. I get really anxious.” Bonney wanted to save the day and be a hero for Kristen like she did for so many of her fellow service men and women. The plan was to replace her entire worn out HVAC system with a brand new one free of charge. 5-Star certified HVAC tech Kirk E. and Bonney HVAC manager Oscar Poort headed to Kristen’s home to surprise her with the good news. At first she thought Bonney would diagnose the problem and just fix it with 5-star service. Once Bonney heard her story and her predicament there was no question…she needed a brand new HVAC system. Kristen stopped using the air conditioner all together because it was becoming too expensive to run and it wasn’t even cooling the house. She had huge energy bills! “I made myself a “redneck cooler”just to cool off the room I’m in.” That’s when Oscar said, “How about we just get proper sizing and lets just go ahead and replace all the equipment.” Kristen immediately said, “Are you serious? I just thought Bonney was just going to come fix it”. Oscar said, “We want you 100% comfortable. That thing has seen its best days and you need a new system. “ Right then, Kristen started to choke-up with emotion. “I thank you so much, this means a lot to me”. After composing herself Kristin went on to say, “It’s an amazing thing Bonney is doing and it feels good to be appreciated. Sometimes, Veterans don’t like to ask for help. We’re taught to be self-sustaining and we can just fix it ourselves…it was really hard for me to ask for help.” Kristen was feeling thankful about having a climate controlled home with brand new HVAC equipment professionally installed by Bonney. She went on to explain, “I definitely don’t like heat, it reminds me a lot of being over there. I tend to get a lot more emotional and suffer more anxiety in the summertime. This is really going to help me out.” Her voice started to crack with emotion and then she said, “I’m gonna put my sun glasses back on, I don’t want anyone to see me crying.” They were tears of joy and appreciation. Kristen was relieved to finally have a new air conditioner that would cool her home. She wouldn’t have to suffer through another hot summer in Sacramento full of bad triggers . She proudly told the guys, “I was an Army flight medic for 10 years and loved my job! I flew around in helicopters and got to help my fellow injured soldiers and civilians”. Oscar asked, “So you took care of people, right?” She cheerfully said, “I did. I did.” “Well, it’s our turn to take care of you in our little way,” Oscar told her. “This is probably one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me,” Kristin replied. It was an especially poignant moment. There were hugs all around. Bonney saves the day. ![Josh Tyack HVAC Manager Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JOSH-TYACK.jpg) [Josh Tyack](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/joshtyack/) Josh Tyack is the manager of the HVAC repair team at Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, Electrical, Heating & Air.

If you drive an electric vehicle yourself, you probably know the joys of affordable and sustainable transportation as well as the hassle of public charging. Bonney is here to help you make the most of your electric vehicle by offering simple and affordable residential charging solutions. Forget the days of struggling to find an open station, worrying about your vehicle while you’re away, stressing over your driving range, and overpaying for a full charge. The team at [Bonney has partnered with ClipperCreek](https://www.bonney.com/2020/04/skip-the-pump-and-go-electric-with-bonney-and-clippercreek/) to bring affordable and convenient charging stations directly to homes in the greater Sacramento area. The first step towards waking up each morning with a full battery is deciding which EV charger is right for you. Our Bonney electrical experts are here with the insight you need on residential EV charging options. ## **What Kind of At-Home Charging Stations Are Available?** Residential electric vehicle charging stations are commonly referred to as EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment). The two distinguished EVSE models include Level 1 EVSE and Level 2 EVSE. Each of these unit types provides effective and affordable EV charging for homes. The difference is in the speed and power of charging they offer. Here is what you need to know about choosing between Level 1 and Level 2 EVSE units. ## **Everything You Need to Know About Level 1 EVSE** If you have an electric vehicle, chances are you are familiar with Level 1 EVSE. These units offer low operational costs and affordable upfront pricing. Most electric vehicles come with a Level 1 EVSE charger included. These stations charge at an average of 2.5 miles of driving range per 1 hour of charging. If you happen upon free EV charging at work or while visiting a business, chances are that you are using a Level 1 EVSE. These charging stations use less electricity than a professional charging station or a Level 2 EVSE. Level 1 units operate through a 120 volt (V) AC plug, so they can connect to a “standard” outlet on a [dedicated branch circuit](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electrical-home-safety-inspection/). ## **Is a Level 1 EVSE Right For Me?** Level 1 residential stations are perfect for a variety of EV charging needs: - Backup and emergency power - Replacements for your original unit - Low-distant commuters - Hybrid vehicle drivers looking for an extra boost - Businesses hoping to offer free electric vehicle charging It is important to note that you may still need to use a high-power charging station for longer commutes, as Level 1 EVSE units are designed for moderate needs. If you are looking for something more powerful and sustainable, a Level 2 EVSE may be right for you. ## **Everything You Need To Know About Level 2 EVSE** Level 2 EVSE units offer a charging experience similar to those you may find at professional stations. The difference? These units let you access this professional charging from the convenience of your home. Level 2 EVSE stations also provide this fast and sustainable charging at an affordable rate. These charging stations save you time by offering up to 60 miles of driving range per charging hour. They also save you money by tapping into your home’s low electric rates while eliminating any extra costs and upcharges associated with public charging stations. While the exact costs vary based on your vehicle and the rates in your area, The [Department of Energy](https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_charging_home.html) estimates that gasoline costs 7.8 cents per mile while electric vehicle charging costs about .04 cents per mile. By connecting to a 240 volt (V) AC plug, these units offer extended driving ranges and up to 80 Amps of power. ## **Is a Level 2 EVSE Right For Me?** Level 2 residential vehicle charging stations are perfect for a variety of EV situations: - Drivers with longer commutes - Fully-electric vehicles that require consistent charging - Commuters with fast charging needs - Maintaining the needs of larger batteries Installing a Level 2 EVSE station accommodates light, moderate, and heavy charging needs. Your charging station and the cost of installation may [qualify for a federal tax credit](https://www.clippercreek.com/tax-credits/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=Your+Charging+Station+Purchase+May+Be+Eligible+For+Federal+Tax+Credit&utm_campaign=2020+Tax+Credit+Extended). In addition, adding the 240 V plug can improve your home’s retail value and provide a popular selling point when you are ready to move. ## **How to Get a Residential EV Charging Station** If you have or are purchasing a Level 1 EVSE unit, the primary electrical consideration involves making sure you are connecting to a dedicated branch circuit. When too many appliances are connected to the same circuit, you risk blowing a fuse, overheating your appliances, and causing trouble with your electric system. A Bonney electrician can ensure that your home is equipped for a new Level 1 EVSE. Our experts will also help you decide on a new system that meets all of your needs and your budget. For a Level 2 EVSE, you will need to ensure that your home is equipped with a 240 V plug. These are rarely included in your home, but they are easy for an electrician to install. The electricians at Bonney offer free in-home evaluations to help you understand your charging station capacity and installation needs. Our experts are skilled in each step of this process, making the residential charging station purchase and installation a breeze. ## **Residential Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in Sacramento** If you are ready to get the power of electric vehicle charging from the convenience of your home, the experts at Bonney are here for you.

A malfunctioning furnace can lead to discomfort, increased energy bills, and even costly repairs. Knowing the warning signs that your furnace may not be ready for winter can save you time, money, and hassle. Here are seven key indicators your furnace needs attention before the cold weather sets in. ![Bonney Furnace Repair](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/bonney-furnace-repair.jpg) ## **1. Unusual Furnace Noises** Unusual noises can be a significant red flag for your furnace. While some sounds are normal, any banging, clanging, squeaking, or rattling should prompt a call to your local maintenance experts. These noises may indicate loose parts, worn-out pieces, or even issues with ductwork. Your professional can help you find and repair the problem to keep your home comfortable and your energy bills low. ## **2. Inconsistent Heating Performance** Your furnace has one job: keeping your home warm. So, naturally, failing or struggling to do so is the sign of an issue. If your furnace cannot maintain a consistent temperature, you may have a failing unit, clogged filter, thermostat issue, or ductwork leak. These factors can lead to discomfort and inefficiencies that drive up energy costs. ## **3. Increased Energy Bills** Speaking of energy bills, a sudden spike in your heating costs may signal that your furnace is overworking. Naturally, the cold climate can impact your energy bills, even with a brand-new furnace. However, if you notice an unusually high spike, this could be a sign of a problem. Aging equipment, poor maintenance, or insufficient insulation can all lead to increased furnace energy consumption and high bills. ## **4. Furnace Short Cycling** Furnaces are designed to turn on and off as needed to maintain a comfortable temperature. However, if you notice that your furnace frequently cycles on and off — a condition known as “short cycling” — this can signal an issue. Furnace short cycling may be indicated by: 1. A furnace that fails to complete a cycle (AKA if your furnace turns off before your home reaches the set temperature). 2. If your furnace turns on/off 3+ times within a 10-minute window. In some cases, this can be a problem with your furnace or air filter. In other cases, external factors may be at play, such as poor insulation, an oversized unit, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Regardless of the source, short cycling can contribute to furnace wear and tear, and it should be addressed before the winter season is in full swing. ## **5. Yellow Burner Flame** Before deciding that your furnace is ready for the winter, take a close look at the[ pilot light](https://www.bonney.com/blog/a-guide-to-furnace-pilot-light-problems-and-solutions/). The color of your furnace’s burner flame is an important indicator of its health. **A healthy furnace flame should be blue**. If you notice a yellow or flickering flame, it can signal combustion problems or even the presence of carbon monoxide, which is a safety hazard that requires immediate professional attention. ## **6. Unpleasant Odors** It is helpful to be aware of any unpleasant smells in your home, especially[ odors from your furnace](https://www.bonney.com/blog/whats-smell-coming-heater-nose-might-know/). While it may be alarming, it is normal to experience a faint smell from your furnace when you start it up for the season. However, if you notice persistent burning smells, musty odors, or a rotten egg scent, these could indicate an issue, such as dust burn-off, ductwork mold, or a gas leak. ## **7. Age of the Furnace** Finally, consider the age of your furnace. Generally, furnaces last about 15-20 years, and as they age, they tend to require more frequent repairs and become less efficient. If your furnace is nearing this age range and showing signs of trouble, it may be time to explore your replacement options. ## **Bonney Furnace Service in Sacramento** If you find any of these issues in your home, the experts at Bonney can help. We offer[ furnace repair](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-repair/) and[ furnace replacement services](https://www.bonney.com/heating/heating-installation/) in the greater Sacramento area that will ensure your home is never left out in the cold.

However, EV charging requires more planning than a trip to the gas station. As such, homeowners look to at-home EV chargers to make this more convenient and efficient. But before you decide to install one, it’s important to know whether your home is equipped to handle the power demands of an EV charger—especially for brands like Tesla, which may have specific requirements. In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to assess if your home can accommodate an EV charger, how to maintain it, and how to go about the installation process. ![Tesla EV Charger](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/image.png) ## Can Your Home Handle an EV Charger? One of the first things to consider when planning to install an EV charger is whether your home’s electrical system can support the added load. EV chargers, especially Level 2 chargers, require a significant amount of electricity. Here’s how to determine if your home is ready: ### 1. Check Your Electrical Panel Capacity Your home’s electrical panel determines how much electricity can flow through your home safely. Most EV chargers, including Tesla chargers, require a 240-volt circuit, which may not be available in all homes. Standard homes are equipped with 100 to 200 amp electrical panels. However, if your home has an older electrical panel or one with limited capacity, you may need to upgrade to accommodate the added power demand of an EV charger. To check your panel’s capacity, locate your electrical panel (often found in a garage, basement, or utility room) and look for the amperage rating. If your panel is already near its limit with current appliances, you may need to upgrade the panel before installing an EV charger. ### 2. Calculate Your Home’s Electrical Load Installing an EV charger will increase your overall electrical load, so it’s essential to ensure that your home’s system can handle it. Calculate the total power consumption of your existing appliances and compare it to your panel’s maximum capacity. For example, appliances like air conditioners, water heaters, and ovens consume a significant amount of electricity. If adding an EV charger would push your system beyond its limit, an upgrade is necessary to prevent overloading your electrical system, which could result in outages or even fire hazards. If you’re unsure about how to calculate your home’s electrical load, a licensed electrician can help assess your system and determine if it’s suitable for an EV or Tesla charger. ### 3. Consider Your Charging Needs Different EV chargers come with varying power requirements. A Level 1 charger, which uses a standard 120-volt outlet, will provide slower charging speeds but may be sufficient for smaller EVs or homes with limited electrical capacity. On the other hand, a Level 2 charger, which requires a 240-volt circuit, charges much faster but demands more power. Tesla home chargers, for example, typically fall under the Level 2 category and may require special installation considerations. Knowing how often and how quickly you need to charge your EV will help you determine the type of charger that suits your home and lifestyle. ## How to Maintain Your EV Charger Once you’ve installed your EV or Tesla charger, regular maintenance is crucial to ensure it operates efficiently and safely. Here’s how to keep your charger in good condition: ### 1. Regular Inspections It’s important to periodically check your EV charger for any signs of wear or damage. Look for loose connections, frayed cords, or any visible wear and tear on the charger or the plug. A damaged charger could pose a safety risk or lead to inefficient charging. If you notice anything unusual, contact a licensed electrician or the charger manufacturer for assistance. ### 2. Keep it Clean Dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on your EV charger over time, especially if it’s installed outdoors. Regularly wiping down the charger and ensuring the charging port is clean will help maintain its performance. If your charger is located outdoors, consider using a weatherproof cover to protect it from the elements, such as rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. ### 3. Monitor Charging Efficiency Keep an eye on your charging times and overall efficiency. If you notice that your EV or Tesla charger is taking longer than usual to fully charge your vehicle, it may be a sign that maintenance or repairs are needed. Additionally, using a smart charger or monitoring app can help you track energy usage and detect any issues early. ### 4. Service as Needed Just like your vehicle, your EV charger may need periodic servicing. Consult the manufacturer’s recommendations for service intervals and ensure that any maintenance or repairs are carried out by a qualified professional. For Tesla chargers, it’s particularly important to follow Tesla’s specific guidelines for maintenance and repairs. ## How to Get an EV Charger Installed Installing an EV charger, whether it’s a standard Level 2 charger or a Tesla charger, requires professional expertise to ensure safety and compliance with local electrical codes. Here’s how to get an EV charger installed in your home: ### 1. Hire a Licensed Electrician EV charger installation should always be handled by a licensed electrician who is familiar with your local building codes and electrical regulations. The electrician will assess your home’s electrical panel, wiring, and capacity to ensure that it can safely support the charger. If you’re installing a Tesla charger, it’s important to hire an electrician who is experienced with Tesla products. Tesla even offers a list of certified electricians who specialize in Tesla charger installation to ensure the job is done correctly. ### 2. Obtain Necessary Permits Depending on where you live, you may need a permit to install an EV charger in your home. A licensed electrician can help you navigate this process and ensure that your installation meets all local codes and regulations. Failing to obtain the proper permits could result in fines or having to remove the charger. ### 3. Upgrade Your Electrical System if Needed If your home’s electrical panel is not equipped to handle the additional load of an EV charger, you may need to upgrade the system before installation. This could involve installing a new circuit, upgrading to a higher-capacity panel, or rewiring parts of your home. Your electrician will provide guidance on what’s necessary to safely accommodate your charger. ### 4. Install the Charger Once your home is ready, the electrician will install the charger, either indoors or outdoors depending on your preference. They will also connect the charger to your electrical panel, ensuring that everything is properly wired and functioning safely.

Many homeowners call them “vents” and they will be in each conditioned room in your home. Why are these important? Well, they are the end of the line of the duct system and are very important for directional flow and velocity of the air into the room it services. Most of them have adjustable louvers and directional fins that direct the air. Many times the direction of the fins are incorrect or unnecessary and can hamper proper flow velocity. One of the unique aspects of today’s modern forced air units are that they have a “squirrel cage” design. It is not like a typical blade fan like a ceiling fan but rather a round barrel with blades that moves the air. One of the downsides or challenges to this type fan is that when there’s enough resistance against it, or “static pressure”, it will not move more air even if it moves faster. To alleviate this type of static air resistance we need to design our ductwork to have as few bends as possible, be as tight as possible, sealed and, getting back to our discussion, not hindered by the type of supply register or vent at the very end of the duct run. Solution? Ask your Heating and Air professional to talk to you about the best type of supply register for your home. A knowledgeable technician or comfort advisor will be able to discuss several options that will work best for your home and increase your system’s efficiency. At Bonney Plumbing, Heating and Air we employ NATE certified technicians and BPI certified Home Performance Analysts who can properly identify issues like this in your home and point out ways to improve your home’s efficiency and comfort. Call Bonney today and a friendly representative will talk with you about your home’s needs. ![Josh Tyack HVAC Manager Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JOSH-TYACK.jpg) [Josh Tyack](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/joshtyack/) Josh Tyack is the manager of the HVAC repair team at Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, Electrical, Heating & Air.

And many times one of the most neglected items as well because many homeowners don’t see the ductwork at all being that it is in the attic, crawlspace and/or in the walls. Another thing that happens is that because homeowners don’t perceive proper duct design as beneficial it tends to be overlooked by the contractor. You may say, “what about the entire duct testing that is required when the permit is pulled”? And that is a very good question. Today’s air duct testing is an effort to make sure there is no more than 15% air leakage in an existing duct system. While better than no standard at all, 15% is still pretty leaky. In homes where we can access all of the ductwork it is pretty easy to get that leakage below 6% but many contractors stop at the 15% when they meet the minimum standard. It is important to hire a heating and air contractor like Bonney that will make sure every effort is made to get your duct system as leak free as possible. The next thing is proper duct design. Droopy ductwork with many bends and turns can drastically reduce the air flow velocity of your central air system and should be pulled straight and tight. Proper air flow is a must, especially in summer where we need to deliver cold air as efficiently as we can. The use of high static air boxes and connectors further reduces efficient air flow and should be replaced with metal elbows and air distribution boxes. These are just a few things about your ductwork and airflow system. Because there are many items that affect your heating and air conditioning system it is important to get properly trained and NATE certified technicians for your furnace or heat pump system.

It’s a time when flowers are blooming, the weather is becoming warmer and days are becoming longer. It’s also the time that people begin to see the dust that has settled in their home over the winter months. This usually spurs the spring cleaning ritual; the time to get the old out and the new in. With this in mind, plus the outdoor pollen, it can create an intolerable time for allergy and asthma sufferers. Cleaning out the dark corners by dusting and mopping is a great start, but this may not be enough. It’s hard to realize that many Americans spend up to 90% of their time indoors. With this in mind, it’s crucial to have good indoor air quality. Indoor air pollution is the major cause of poor indoor air quality. These indoor allergens are significant to the trigger of asthma and allergy attacks. Poor air quality can happen when there is improper ventilation of the house, which can contribute to poor health. Besides allergies and asthma, poor indoor air can cause headaches, dry eyes, nasal congestion, nausea and fatigue. The [American Lung Association](http://www.lung.org/healthy-air/home/) recommends the first line of defense against poor indoor air is finding ways to keep the pollutants from the air. The appropriate ventilation with clean and fresh air entering the home can reduce the levels of indoor air pollutants. At Bonney, we strive to bring only the best and most effective products to your home. Our technicians are experts at providing air filtration and air purifying products that work hand in hand with your specific central heating and air conditioning system. Variable speed blower motors are products that slowly keep the air in your home circulated while using the least amount of energy and cost as possible. These can also be retrofitted to your existing system. Keeping your air ducts clean is also an important step in reducing pollutants in your home. We can help you clean your air ducts or replace them completely if needed. We can also provide high efficiency filters to keep your system free of contaminates in the future. Another important part of your household to keep clean is your water system. What many people don’t realize is that several contaminants can get into your tap water when it travels to your home. The [Natural Resources Defense Council ](http://www.nrdc.org/%20) reported that while many urban residents could drink tap water without serious health threats, some contaminants pose risk to infants, pregnant women and people with deficiencies in their immune systems. Keeping your water safe in your home is a crucial step in creating a clean and healthy lifestyle. The Bonney team can help you find the right water treatment solution for your home. The benefits of a water filter solution are healthier and softer skin, great tasting water straight from the tap, no hard water spots on appliances, clothes that last longer and cost-efficient operation. Over time, water filter systems will eliminate the need for bottled water or filters like Brita, reducing soap and detergent usage and providing a healthier lifestyle. Nothing is more important than maintaining a healthy lifestyle for you and your loved ones. Call Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air & Rooter Service to schedule your free clean living check-up. Our certified technicians will provide a free indoor air quality evaluation and a free water quality test. Don’t settle for the same spring time health issues, schedule your check-up and start your clean living today! ##### *California’s Water Districts are heavily regulated and do a great job working to keep us safe. Every home is different, and no matter what water municipality you live in it’s a great idea to have your home water tested to really know what you are drinking.* ![Josh Tyack HVAC Manager Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JOSH-TYACK.jpg) [Josh Tyack](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/joshtyack/) Josh Tyack is the manager of the HVAC repair team at Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, Electrical, Heating & Air.

Temperatures will be soaring in the Sacramento Valley. Your air conditioning unit will be working hard all summer long cranking out icy cold air to keep you cool. ### Is your air filter ready for all the action? You should check your air filter monthly and change it every three months, but it all depends on the type of air filter you have. Some filters need to be washed once a month and others once a year. A dirty air filter is the most common reason a heating and air conditioning unit breaks down. As dirt accumulates, air can’t pass through and the system may overheat. This makes the motor work much harder and your air conditioning unit may have to be repaired. In older units it could push it over the edge and be the end of the road. Kaput! Replacing your air filter on a regular basis can also keep your energy costs down. When your dirty clogged up air filter is working harder, more energy is being used, which can cause your bill to skyrocket. When you consistently change your air filter, you can save from 5 to 15 percent on your utility bill. Another good reason to regularly replace your air filter is to help maintain healthy air quality in your home. It cleans the air. If you have pets it’s even more important. Your furry friend’s pet dander can accumulate in your system and spread allergens throughout the home. If you suffer from allergies you’ll notice a big difference. In fact, one of our loyal Bonney customers, Carol from Sacramento, called us to say she “loved the whole house filter which has been remarkable!” She mentioned her husband’s allergies and that he had to take allergy medicine daily. Now he rarely needs it thanks to the whole house filter Bonney HVAC technician Andrew P installed for them. Regularly replacing your air filter is an easy, inexpensive way to save money, extend the life of your HVAC system and improve indoor air quality. If you have any questions about changing your air filter or upgrading your air filter like Carol did, give Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air a call at 800-444-0551 or make an appointment online with our [HVAC experts in Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/?se_action=eyJ0eXBlIjoic2Utc2hvdy1tb2RhbCJ9) and [HVAC experts in Concord.](https://www.bonney.com/big-air/) ![Josh Tyack HVAC Manager Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JOSH-TYACK.jpg) [Josh Tyack](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/joshtyack/) Josh Tyack is the manager of the HVAC repair team at Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, Electrical, Heating & Air.

With so many options available, it can be difficult to tell which one is best for your home. This guide illustrates the effectiveness of each option so you can make an informed decision. ## **What Air Cleaning Devices Do** There are several types of [air cleaning devices](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) that are designed to work with your central heating and air conditioning system to remove certain pollutants, including: - **Particulate matter:** dust, pollen, animal dander, dust mites, etc. - **Gaseous pollutants:** vehicle exhaust, tobacco smoke, cleaning products, etc. When used in tandem, these options provide an effective solution for those with breathing issues. ## **Electronic Air Cleaners** As air passes through your heating and cooling system, [electronic air cleaners](https://www.lennox.com/buyers-guide/guide-to-hvac/glossary/electronic-air-cleaner) trap large particles like dust and dander in a prefilter. The filters then attract and trap smaller particles like bacteria and mold to prevent them from recirculating throughout your home. Electronic air cleaners are relatively easy to maintain since the filters are reusable and only need to be removed and washed every few months. There’s no need to stock up on extra filters or make a special trip to the store for a replacement. These filters can be highly effective in removing contaminants from indoor air, especially if they have a Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV) rating of 10 or higher. ## **Types of Air Filters** ### ***Mechanical*** Most heating and air conditioning systems require a replaceable mechanical filter that can be swapped in and out every few months. These [filters are designed to](https://www.webmd.com/allergies/features/do-you-need-an-air-filter) force air through a special screen to trap allergens like pollen, pet dander and dust mites as well as irritants like tobacco smoke. ### ***HEPA*** High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters were developed during World War II to prevent radioactive particles from escaping laboratories. Today, they have the much less intimidating purpose of removing microscopic allergens from the air. True HEPA filters must be able to capture at least 90 percent of all particles 0.3 microns or larger in diameter, meaning they can trap [several common allergens](https://learn.allergyandair.com/hepa-filters/) like: - Spores: 3-40 microns - Mold: 3-12 microns - Car emissions: 1-150 microns - Bacteria: 0.3-60 microns ### ***Hybrid*** Hybrid filters trap allergens and air pollutants with a combination of elements from both mechanical and electronic air cleaners. ## **Germicidal UVC Lamp** [UV-C germicidal light](https://ultraviolet.com/what-is-germicidal-ultraviolet/) deactivates the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, destroying their ability to multiply and spread disease. On a technical level, the UV-C light damages a microorganism’s nucleic acid by forming covalent bonds between adjacent bases of its DNA. These bonds prevent the organism from reproducing, effectively killing it when it tries to do so. This ultraviolet technology is a non-chemical approach to disinfection, inexpensive and requires minimal maintenance. ## **What to Consider Before Purchasing an Air Cleaner** Ask yourself a few questions before purchasing an air cleaner to determine which option would be most effective for your situation: - Will the cleaner remove my allergy triggers from the air in my home? - What is the efficiency rating of the cleaner? - How often will the unit clean the air in a single room? - How difficult is it to change the filter? - How much noise does the unit make? ## **Allergy-Proof Your Home** Using a high-performance air filter is a great way to improve your home’s indoor air quality by reducing the number of allergens floating around, but there is even more you can do, like cleaning and dusting regularly and replacing carpeted flooring with hardwood or tile. ## **Breathe Easier With Help From Bonney Plumbing** Are you tired of dealing with allergy and asthma symptoms at home? After you’ve chosen the [most effective air cleaner](https://porch.com/advice/smart-gadgets-allergy-friendly-home) for your lifestyle, it’s important it’s installed correctly so that it works properly.

[Indoor air quality](https://www.bonney.com/2020/08/10-indoor-air-quality-tips/) is especially important during this time of year to help alleviate these allergy symptoms. The [EPA](https://www.epa.gov/indoor-air-quality-iaq/introduction-indoor-air-quality) also details both long-term and immediate health risks that come with poor indoor air quality, making this a vital consideration year-round. Thankfully, there are several different air purification methods available, all of which help with allergies in some form. The [air quality experts at Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) are here with insights. Let’s take a look at different kinds of air purifiers and how they can help relieve your allergies. ## UV-C Air Purification and Allergies [UV-C air purification methods](https://www.bonney.com/2020/09/air-quality-uvc-lights/) have been particularly popular recently due to their efficacy against viruses. They work by emitting targeted, powerful light wavelengths that destroy the DNA and RNA in microbes. In addition to neutralizing viruses and bacteria, they are incredibly effective against living allergens like mold. However, they are not effective against abiotic or inanimate allergens like pollen, dust, and dander—so you may consider combining these purifiers with an additional air quality solution. ## Electronic Air Filters Using electrostatic attraction, these filters collect allergens and irritants like pollen, dust, pet dander, and bacteria. As air passes through your HVAC system, electronic filters trap larger particles in a prefilter. It then uses electrostatic attraction to collect and trap smaller particles. These systems are effective against most particle allergens and irritants. ## Allergen Air Filters The allergen air filters you find over the counter require special consideration before use. These filters work by passing your air through thick, constricted layers of material so they can catch the small allergen particles. However, much like a clogged or dirty air filter, this can restrict your HVAC airflow. These filters can put stress on your unit, which can lead to system damage and higher energy bills. Professional HVAC technicians can install 4-5 inch thick filters that clean the air without restricting airflow. ## iWave: Needlepoint Bi-Polar Ionization Air Filtration iWave air purifiers address several different sources of allergens through a process called needlepoint bi-polar ionization. Here is a look at how this ionization addresses allergens and other common air quality concerns: - **Allergen Particles:** Small allergens like dander and pollen can usually pass through your HVAC’s air filter. The ionization process causes these allergens to bind together. As they collectively form larger particles, they can be picked up by your home air filter. - **Harmful Vapors:** The ionization process also neutralizes harmful gases, like pollution and smoke. It breaks these compounds into harmless elements like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor. This is especially important in areas that experience wildfires. - **Viruses and Bacteria:** Finally, this process also kills airborne pathogens by dehydrating viruses and bacteria. Ionization separates the pathogen from their hydrogen molecules, which completely neutralizes these particles. These units are self-cleaning, so they do not require regular maintenance. Additionally, because they use your home’s existing air filters, they do not require individual unit filter replacements. ## Air Scrubber Plus The Air Scrubber Plus is an ActivePure Technology device that simultaneously cleans both your air and your surfaces. Using UV-C light waves and a catalytic process, it produces scrubber ions hydroperoxides. As these scrubber ions are distributed throughout your home, they are proven to effectively combat certain allergens and harmful particles, including bacteria, viruses, mold, VOCs, smoke, odors, and fungi. This device comes with the unique benefit of purifying your surfaces in addition to your air. The Air Scrubber Plus may not be effective in addressing allergens like pollen, dust, and dander. However, it can provide comprehensive allergen protection when used in combination with the professional-grade allergen air filters mentioned above. ## Bonney Air Quality Solutions These air quality solutions are all available from your experts at Bonney.

Deciding which air purifier is right for you might take some consideration, but the local [air quality experts at Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) are here with insight. We offer an array of air purification options to help with your [indoor air quality](https://www.bonney.com/2020/08/10-indoor-air-quality-tips/) needs. Let’s dive into some of the air purification solutions provided by Bonney. ## iWave Bi-Polar Ionization Air Purifier iWave air purifiers might be the best solution for indoor air purification. iWave air purifiers also have a self-cleaning feature, which means you can enjoy its high-quality performance without worrying about maintenance. How does this type of air purifier work? iWave uses advanced technology to create an equal amount of positive and negative ions, which breaks down pollutants, viruses, and bacteria into clean air. It also conglomerates small particles like pollen, dust, and dander into larger particles—making them easy to trap inside your home’s air filters. If you are looking for a system that addresses a comprehensive range of air quality concerns—including smoke, pollen, dirt, dust, dander, viruses, and bacteria— the iWave might be right for you. It is also ideal for those who hate bulky machines that consume indoor space. ## Air Scrubber Plus Air and Surface Cleaner Similar to the iWave air purification system, The Air Scrubber Plus is conveniently installed out of the way—directly into your duct system. However, it offers the unique benefit of cleansing contaminants both on your surfaces and in your air. The Air Scrubber Plus works to purify the indoor atmosphere by creating scrubber ions hydroperoxides using [UV-C light waves](https://www.bonney.com/2020/09/air-quality-uvc-lights/) and a catalytic process. It rids contaminants and destroys pollutants that might instigate asthma and [allergies](https://www.bonney.com/2021/04/allergies-air-purification/). However, this system is less effective against inanimate particles, like pollen and dust. When used in conjunction with a professional-grade filter (more on those below), you can access comprehensive air cleaning. The discreet installation is optimal—allowing for out-of-sight, out-of-mind function and it requires little to no maintenance or cleaning after installation. If you’re looking for a well-designed, low-maintenance air and surface purification system, The Air Scrubber Plus might be the solution for you! ## Professional-Grade Allergen Filters If you are most concerned about allergy seasons, an allergen filter might meet your air purification needs. Allergen filters ensure air quality without presenting risks to your HVAC system—as over-the-counter allergen filters might. While an allergen filter might function a bit differently than the first two options, this air purification system is more focused on catching the allergens that build up in your air ducts. A professional installation ensures that the air quality service is optimal and prevents harm to your heating and cooling system. ## Electronic Air Filters for Air Quality An electronic air filter is another industry-leading air purifier option available to you by Bonney. This type of air purification system is installed into your HVAC system like many other air purifiers. Unlike the allergen filter, this air filter uses electrostatic attraction to draw in pollutants and bacteria. Though this filter is an effective option, it does require regular maintenance and cleaning. However, electronic air filters score very well in terms of the air quality service it produces and regulates. ## Deciding On the Right Air Purifier When it comes to deciding on the right air purification system for you, there are several factors to consider. No matter what your needs and preferences are, you are certain to find an air purifier that will fit both your budget and indoor requirements with Bonney. Bonney can install any of these air purifiers into your local home or [business](https://www.bonney.com/2020/07/4-reopening-steps/).

One challenge stands in the way of many homeowners: understanding when to change out your air filters. The cadence of your home air filter chances depends on a wide variety of factors, including your home size, the air quality in your area, whether or not you have pets, and even your cooking preferences. Let’s take a closer look at home air filters. ## Do I Really Need to Change My Air Filters? You might find yourself wondering, “Do I *really* need to replace my home air filters?” The short answer is yes—changing home air filters is necessary, and it can help you [save money](https://www.bonney.com/2021/06/7-ways-to-save-on-ac-systems/) long-term. When your air filters become clogged, they restrict the airflow to your air conditioner. This makes your AC unit overwork to keep your home cool. ***So what happens when you don’t change your home air filters?*** Generally speaking, clogged filters can lead to high energy bills, ineffective functioning (such as [AC systems blowing warm air](https://www.bonney.com/2021/06/ac-blowing-warm-air/)), and HVAC damage. For homeowners, this can also interfere with your warranty. For renters, if you are caught with dirty air filters, you could be held responsible for HVAC damage or lose your deposit—depending on your leasing agreement. ## Factors that Impact Air Filter Change Cadence When deciding how often to change your home air filters, there are a few different factors that you should consider: - **Cleaning Routines**: If you regularly capture dust and debris that might otherwise get picked up by your air filters, it can help prevent your filters from clogging. - **Air Purifiers**: Many air purifiers can work with your filters to trap contaminants. Other air purifiers make use of your home’s air filters. As such, the type of air purifier you have could impact how frequently you change your filters. - **Area Air Quality**: When the air in your area is filled with a higher volume of contaminants, your filters may clog more quickly. - **Health Concerns**: Individuals living with [allergies](https://www.bonney.com/2021/04/allergies-air-purification/), asthma, or other air sensitivities may need more frequent air filter changes. - **Pets**: Pet dust and dander can quickly fill home air filters, requiring more frequent replacements. - **Cooking**: Some cooking methods release particles—like oil—into the air, which may then be trapped by your air filters. ## When Should I Change My Air Filters? On average, standard 1-3” pleated filters need to be changed every 1-3 months. Here is a look at which of these replacement cadences are right for you: ### Changing Air Filters Every Month If you check all of the boxes on air filter considerations, you may require monthly replacements. For example, if your home has multiple pets, poor air quality, and you suffer from allergies or asthma. ### Changing Air Filters Every 2 Months Some homes fall in the middle category of air filter replacement needs. For example, you may need air filter changes every 2 months when you have one low-allergen pet, mild air quality, or slight allergen concerns. ### Changing Air Filters Every 3 Months In a best-case scenario, you can change your air filters every 3 months. For example, if you live in an area with clean air and your home has no pets, you could be fine with every 3 months. ## How to Check Your Air Filters If you’re still unsure whether or not you are due for an air filter change, consider taking a look behind your vents. Thankfully, checking your air filters in a quick 2-step process: - First, locate the vents in your home containing filters. These are often large square or rectangle vents that have a hinge to open for filter replacements. - Next, open the tabs that keep your vents shut to inspect your filters. If your filters are dusty and dirty, you should replace them. ## Which Way Should Air Filters Go In? One of the most common questions we get from customers about air filters is, “Which direction should filters face in the vents?” The side of your filters should have an arrow pointing towards the airflow. While the small rectangular vents that you see on your floors, walls, or ceilings are responsible for air output, **your large vents are responsible for air intake**. As such, you should place your filter inside your vent with the arrow pointing inwards. ## Bonney Air Quality Support in Sacramento Bonney has all of the tools and [resources](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-blog-press/) needed to keep your air clean.

Since many air purifiers can assist with removing allergens from your home’s air, they can be an effective option to combat seasonal allergies. Before you invest in one of these devices, take a moment to learn more about what air purifiers are and how they can help reduce seasonal allergies. ## What Are Air Purifiers? Air purifiers are typically portable devices designed to capture various pollutants and particles from an indoor space’s air. Most of these devices feature a filter made to trap particles and a fan designed to pull in air and then circulate it back out. You can also find air purifiers with multiple filters inside them to provide more effective filtration. While portable air purifiers are the most common options on the market, many homeowners prefer air purifiers designed to fit into their HVAC system. For example, professionals can install options like iWave Bi-Polar Ionization Air Purifiers and electronic air cleaners into a client’s HVAC system. Unlike standard portable air purifiers, these devices use alternative methods to trap allergens, such as needlepoint bi-polar ionization or electrostatic attraction. ## How Air Purifiers Help With Seasonal Allergies While seasonal allergies tend to affect people most when they’re outside, allergens can also make their way into the home, causing allergy sufferers to experience more discomfort. Since air purifiers can capture particles in your air and trap them in their filters, many of these devices can give people relief from their seasonal allergy symptoms. By using an air purifier, you can reduce the number of allergens floating around in your home’s air. As long as your air purifier is designed to filter out pollen, mold, and dust from your home’s air, it will likely lessen your seasonal allergy symptoms. You can read more here about [which air purification methods address allergies](https://www.bonney.com/2021/04/allergies-air-purification/). Due to these devices’ ability to capture allergenic particles, they reduce the number of irritants you breathe in while at home. As a result, air purifiers are recommended for seasonal allergy sufferers. They’re especially suited for those who also suffer from asthma, as these devices can remove particles that will trigger an attack. ## Top Air Purification Options for People With Allergies Due to air purifiers’ ability to eliminate allergenic particles, you might be interested in the [best kind for your home](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/choosing-an-air-purifier/) and personal needs. During allergy seasons, professional-grade allergen filters can be an excellent choice. With these filters installed in your HVAC system, they’ll capture various allergies that can gather in your air ducts. You can pair these filters with other professional air purifiers to get the most allergy protection possible. Another excellent choice is the iWave Bi-Polar Ionization Air Purifier. These devices use needlepoint bi-polar ionization to neutralize airborne contaminants, like mold. They also help allergy sufferers by causing pollen and other smaller particles to clump together, making it easier for your filtration system to catch them. Since these kinds of air purifiers are installed inside your HVAC system, they’re unobtrusive and won’t take up extra space in your home. ## Choose Bonney for Professional Air Purifier Services in Sacramento and Concord At Bonney, we’re proud to provide those in the [Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-service-areas/) and [Concord areas](https://www.bonney.com/big-air/) with [various HVAC services](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/).

While washing your hands regularly and getting your flu shot can help lower the risk you get sick this winter, you can better protect yourself during cold and flu season with an air purifier at your home. With the right air purifier cleaning your air, you can lower the risk that viruses and germs circulate through your home and make you sick. ## How Air Purifiers Protect You From Colds and the Flu Over cold and flu season, you need protection from viruses and bacteria that lead to the flu and the common cold. Without an air purifier in your home, viruses and bacteria will freely float through your air and recirculate through your HVAC system, raising the chances you get sick. A great air purifier will either trap or kill bacteria and viruses in your air, reducing the risk that you make contact with them and come down with an illness. Alongside removing harmful viruses and bacteria that could circulate in your home, a good air purifier will reduce dust and other allergens in your home’s air. Since a recent study suggests that influenza viruses can [spread via microscopic dust particles](https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/respiratory-viruses-may-spread-via-airborne-dust), an air purifier that decreases dust is a smart investment. With a high-quality air purifier, you can reduce the chance that airborne dust carrying an influenza virus infects you with the flu. Besides better controlling a possible spreader of the flu, a good air purifier will also help you breathe easier in your home, especially if you have allergies. By reducing allergens like pet dander, dust, and pollen, you’ll likely breathe easier and suffer less from allergy symptoms while inside your home. ## What Air Purifiers Offer the Best Protection From the Flu and Colds? Now that you know the benefits of some air purifiers, you might wonder what air purifiers will provide you with the best protection. Instead of going with a standard free-standing model that takes up room in your home, you may want to consider a unit that installs directly inside your HVAC system or ducts. The iWave Bi-Polar Ionization Air Purifier and the Air Scrubber Plus Air and Surface Cleaner are both exceptionally discreet [air purification devices](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) that provide superior protection from viruses and bacteria that cause the flu and the common cold. [iWave systems](https://www.bonney.com/2022/06/iwave-guide/) install directly inside HVAC units and utilize needlepoint bi-polar ionization to neutralize live airborne contaminants. Essentially, needlepoint bi-polar ionization eliminates viruses, mold, and bacteria that can spread disease by killing the hydrogen particles these contaminants require to live. iWave systems also cause dust, pollen, and dirt to clump together, so your HVAC system’s filters can more easily catch them and stop them from continuing to circulate throughout your home. Like iWave systems, the Air Scrubber Plus is a discrete device that can kill contaminants that cause the flu or common cold. These devices are installed directly inside your duct system and release scrubber ions hydroperoxides into your air. As these scrubbers spread throughout your home, they’ll combat bacteria, mold, and viruses on surfaces and in the air, with results showing they eliminate up to [99.9% of many common surface and airborne contaminants](https://www.bonney.com/2022/05/5-benefits-of-the-air-scrubber-plus/). By eliminating contaminants in your home, you’ll be less likely to get sick from the flu or common cold. ## Choose Bonney for Air Purifier Installation Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for air purifier installation services near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, Bonney can help.

Typical home pollutants, like household cleaners, pet dander, VOCs, dust, and even carpet fibers, can irritate your respiratory system. While it might not always be top of mind, your air quality is essential to your health and comfort. Since you likely spend a lot of your time indoors at your home, it’s critical you know three of the most important indoor air quality stats and how to improve your air quality with a whole-home air purifier. ## 1. Americans Spend Around 90% Of Their Time Indoors According to the Environmental Protection Agency, Americans spend around [90% of their time indoors](https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/indoor-air-quality). With much of that indoor time spent at home, you’re inhaling a lot of air from your home’s HVAC system. When this air isn’t clean, you could be breathing in a variety of pollutants that can cause or worsen health conditions, heighten allergy symptoms, and irritate your throat, nose, and eyes. ## 2. Indoor Air is Often 2 to 5 Times More Polluted Than Outdoor Air Think your home’s air quality is better than the air outside? Think again. The EPA has also found that some pollutant concentrations are [two to five times higher indoors](https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/indoor-air-quality) than outdoors. Due to the amount of time you likely spend indoors, this higher concentration of pollutants could be worsening your standard of living or health. Additionally, the need for cleaner air is underscored by the fact that those with respiratory or cardiovascular diseases usually spend more time indoors, with the pollutants potentially worsening their health conditions. ## 3. Over 40% of Americans Live in Locations With Unhealthy Levels of Air Pollution Besides the danger of indoor air pollutants, over [137 million Americans](https://www.lung.org/research/sota/key-findings) (over 40% of the U.S. population!) live in areas with unhealthy levels of ozone or particle pollution. These unsafe levels of pollutants and ozone levels put people’s health at risk, can affect their breathing, and cause health conditions. Since a 2022 report revealed that [2.1 million more people](https://www.lung.org/research/sota/key-findings) were breathing unhealthy air compared to the year before, it’s important to be proactive in protecting yourself from air pollution, even if you live in an area with acceptable levels. ## How to Improve Indoor Air Quality With Whole-Home Air Purifiers Due to the danger of air pollution and the potential for increased pollutant levels in your home, you’ll likely want to improve your home’s indoor air quality. One of the best ways to reduce pollutant and contaminant levels is with an air purifier. While portable air purifiers are popular, they take up space in your home, can be noisy, and may not be as effective as you’d like. As you consider the right air purifier for your home, [whole-home air purifiers](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) are an excellent choice. These types of air purifiers are typically installed inside your HVAC system, meaning they won’t take up space or be an eyesore. Additionally, many whole-home air purifiers can be more effective at air purification compared to portable models. An average portable air filter only covers 3x3ft space—whereas whole home purifiers are able to cover the entire volume of your home. When you’re interested in whole-home air purifiers, two of the most effective options include an iWave Bi-Polar Ionization Air Purifier and the Air Scrubber Plus Air and Surface Cleaner. iWave systems clean air by generating an equal amount of positive and negative ions. These ions then break down viruses, bacteria, and pollutants before [converting them into clean air](https://www.bonney.com/2022/06/iwave-guide/). iWave devices also help trap small particles in your filter like dander, dust, and pollen, helping to reduce allergens floating around your home. The Air Scrubber Plus, backed by NASA scientists, is another great whole-home air purification system that’s installed directly in your home’s ducts. These systems kill contaminants in your air and on your surfaces by [distributing ion hydroperoxides](https://www.bonney.com/2022/05/5-benefits-of-the-air-scrubber-plus/) throughout your home. These scrubbing particles help to combat bacteria, viruses, volatile organic compounds, mold, smoke, and fungi. In fact, these systems [eliminate up to 99.9%](https://www.activepure.com/scientific-proof/) of many common airborne and surface contaminants. ## Choose Bonney for Whole-Home Purifier Installation in Sacramento If you’re looking for whole-home air purifier install services near you in Sacramento, turn to Bonney. As a proud provider of iWave devices, the Air Scrubber Plus, electronic air cleaners, and germicidal UVC lamps, we can help you [find a whole-home air purifier](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/choosing-an-air-purifier/) right for your home and needs.

Pollutants are constantly in the air – vehicle emissions, industrial plants, and regional wildfires. Poor weather conditions can also trap those pollutants, degrading the air quality in the region. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), pollutants are usually [2 to 5 times higher indoors](https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/indoor-air-quality) than outdoors. Poor air quality has been linked to health issues, including respiratory diseases. Since most Americans spend [90 percent of their time inside](https://www.epa.gov/report-environment/indoor-air-quality), it’s necessary to ensure the air quality in your home doesn’t negatively impact your health. One of the best ways to protect yourself from poor indoor air quality is with regular HVAC maintenance. If you want cleaner air at home, learn our top three HVAC maintenance tips for improving indoor air quality. **1. Check the Air Filter** Air filters keep the dirt, dust, pollen, and other allergens out of your living space. As they do their job and trap the pesky particles, they become dirty and clogged with contaminants. If they aren’t replaced or cleaned regularly, those clogged filters will not remove those particles from your home and greatly slow down air circulation. Typically, most HVAC air filters must be [replaced every one to three months](https://www.bonney.com/blog/how-often-should-i-change-my-home-air-filters/), depending on their type, the number of people or animals in your home, and your particular indoor air quality filtration goals. If you don’t know how often to replace your air filters, you can [consult an HVAC technician](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) to receive their advice and have them swap out your filters. **2. Keep the Evaporator Coil Clean** A dirty evaporator coil can raise the humidity levels indoors. On top of being uncomfortable, humidity also creates the perfect environment for dust mites and other biological growth to thrive. These are only some of the issues that are created when an HVAC system’s evaporator coil remains dirty. [Contact a professional HVAC technician](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) at least once or twice a year to have them properly inspect and clean the evaporator coil. **3. Clear the Air Ducts** A routine maintenance check will allow you to make sure the air ducts aren’t accumulating too much dust and debris. If they have a lot of dust and debris on or in them, they’ll spread dust particles throughout your home. During an HVAC maintenance visit, a technician can inspect your ducts and identify if they need a professional cleaning from Bonney to improve your air quality. ## How Can Bonney Help Me Improve the Air Quality in My Home? Alongside performing the maintenance services above and any others that improve indoor air quality, our team can install whole-home indoor air quality filtration solutions in your home. These solutions can significantly reduce the two primary pollutants —particulate matter and gaseous pollutants. Some examples of particulate matter include animal dander, dust mites, pollen, and carpet fibers. Gaseous pollutants are caused by combustion processes from stoves, some cleaning products containing VOCs, and pesticides, such as ant and spider sprays. Either type of pollutant can reduce your home’s air quality, but you can take action to keep them out of your air with a whole-home air purifier. Our[ iWave Bipolar Ionization Air Purifier](https://www.bonney.com/blog/iwave-guide/) is one of the best whole-home HVAC systems for eliminating contaminants in your home, as the system removes the hydrogen particles that bacteria, viruses, and pollutants need to live. It also clumps smaller contaminants together, such as dust, dander, and pollen, to make them large enough for your HVAC system’s filters to catch. Another option is the [Air Scrubber Plus Air](https://www.bonney.com/blog/choosing-an-air-purifier/). The air scrubber uses scrubber ions hyperoxides to keep contaminants off of your surfaces and eliminate them from the air. It’s also an excellent solution for smoke and odors, as the scrubbing particles will stop the particles responsible for creating a foul-smelling odor. Since this system isn’t as great at removing inanimate particles like dust and pollen, we’d recommend pairing the Air Scrubber Plus with a professional-grade filter. ## Contact Bonney for HVAC Maintenance and Indoor Air Quality Solutions in Sacramento If you need air quality or HVAC maintenance services near you in Sacramento or the [surrounding areas](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-service-areas/), Bonney can help.

Despite their importance, air filters are often neglected by homeowners. Understanding their role, knowing when to replace them, and recognizing the consequences of failing to do so are crucial for maintaining an efficient, long-lasting HVAC system. ![Professional replacing a dirty air filter](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/replacing-your-air-filter.jpg) ## What Do Air Filters Do in HVAC Systems? Air filters serve as the first line of defense in maintaining clean, healthy air within your home. Their primary function is to trap dust, dirt, pollen, pet dander, and other airborne particles before they enter your HVAC system. This not only improves indoor air quality but also helps protect the HVAC unit itself by preventing these particles from clogging up components like the blower fan or coils. Key functions of air filters include: - **[Improving Indoor Air Quality](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/):** By capturing allergens and contaminants, air filters help reduce the amount of airborne irritants that can cause allergies, asthma, or respiratory issues. - **Protecting Your HVAC System:** Filters keep dirt and debris from building up on internal components, helping to extend the life of your system. - **Maintaining Efficiency:** A clean air filter allows for smooth airflow, reducing the workload on your HVAC system and helping it operate more efficiently. ## How to Tell When Your Air Filters Need to Be Replaced Knowing when to replace your air filters is vital to keeping your HVAC system running smoothly. While most manufacturers recommend replacing filters every 30 to 90 days, several factors can affect this timeline. Here are the signs that your filter needs replacing: ### 1. Visual Inspection The easiest way to tell if your filter needs replacing is by performing a visual check. A clean filter will appear white or off-white, while a dirty filter will be coated in dust and debris, appearing gray or brown. ### 2. Decreased Airflow If you notice that your HVAC system isn’t heating or cooling your home as effectively as before, or if airflow from the vents seems weaker, it may be due to a clogged air filter. A blocked filter restricts airflow, causing the system to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. ### 3. Increased Energy Bills A dirty air filter makes your HVAC system work harder, consuming more energy to heat or cool your home. If you’ve noticed a sudden spike in your energy bills, it could be due to a clogged filter reducing the system’s efficiency. ### 4. Dust Buildup Around Vents Excessive dust collecting around your air vents can be a sign that the air filter is clogged and no longer capturing dust particles effectively. When the filter is full, dust can bypass it and circulate through your home. ### 5. Allergy Symptoms Flare-Up If you or your family members are experiencing increased allergy symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, or itchy eyes, it may be time to check your air filter. A clogged filter allows more allergens and irritants to enter your home’s air supply. ## How to Replace Your Air Filters Replacing air filters is a simple yet essential maintenance task that every homeowner should be familiar with. Follow these steps to replace your air filter: ### 1. Turn Off the HVAC System Before you replace the filter, make sure to turn off the HVAC system to prevent it from running while you work. ### 2. Locate the Air Filter The air filter is usually located in one of two places: either in the return air vent (typically in a wall or ceiling) or within the HVAC unit itself (such as near the air handler or furnace). Check your system’s manual if you’re unsure where to find it. ### 3. Remove the Old Filter Slide out the old filter carefully to avoid scattering dust or debris. Take note of the filter size, which is usually printed on the side of the old filter, so you can purchase the correct replacement. ### 4. Install the New Filter Insert the new filter, making sure that the airflow arrows printed on the filter are pointing in the correct direction—toward the HVAC unit. ### 5. Turn the System Back On Once the new filter is in place, turn your HVAC system back on and enjoy improved airflow and air quality. ## How Not Changing Your Air Filter Can Affect Your HVAC System Neglecting to change your air filter can have several negative effects on your HVAC system, leading to reduced efficiency and increased energy consumption. When the air filter becomes clogged with dust and debris, airflow is restricted, causing the system to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. This not only drives up energy costs but also puts extra strain on the system, which can lead to premature wear and tear on components such as the blower motor and fan. Over time, the added stress can cause these parts to fail, leading to expensive repairs or even the need for early replacement of the entire system. In addition, a clogged air filter can cause your HVAC components to overheat or freeze. For example, in a furnace, restricted airflow can result in overheating, while in an air conditioning unit, it can cause the evaporator coils to freeze. Both issues reduce system performance and can lead to costly damage if not addressed. Furthermore, when the filter is too dirty to function properly, it allows pollutants such as dust, pollen, and pet dander to circulate freely in your home. This not only impacts indoor air quality but can also exacerbate allergy symptoms and respiratory issues for occupants.

Poor air quality can contribute to allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues, making it essential to maintain a clean and healthy environment inside your home. Fortunately, your HVAC system can play a key role in improving indoor air quality. In this blog, we’ll explore various HVAC services and solutions that can help you breathe easier and ensure your home is a safe and comfortable place to live. ### **The Importance of Indoor Air Quality** The air inside your home can often be more polluted than the air outside, especially in urban areas. Common indoor pollutants include dust, pet dander, pollen, mold spores, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from household products. Poor ventilation, high humidity, and inadequate filtration can all contribute to a buildup of these pollutants, which can affect your health over time. Improving indoor air quality can reduce allergy symptoms, decrease the spread of airborne illnesses, and create a more comfortable living environment. If you or your family members suffer from respiratory issues, investing in indoor air quality services is especially important. ### **HVAC Services for Enhanced Indoor Air Quality** Your HVAC system can do more than just regulate temperature—it can also help improve the quality of the air you breathe. Here are some essential HVAC services and solutions for better indoor air quality: #### **1. Air Duct Cleaning** Air ducts circulate conditioned air throughout your home, but over time, dust, dirt, and allergens can accumulate within them. When untreated, these contaminants can then be recirculated into your living spaces, reducing air quality. Professional air duct cleaning removes built-up debris from your ductwork, ensuring that the air circulating in your home is as clean as possible. Air duct cleaning can help reduce allergens, eliminate odors, and improve overall HVAC efficiency. #### **2. Upgraded Air Filters** One of the simplest and most effective ways to improve indoor air quality is by upgrading your HVAC system’s air filters. While standard filters trap larger particles like dust and hair, high-efficiency filters can capture smaller particles such as pollen, mold spores, and even bacteria. Consider switching to a filter with a higher MERV (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value) rating for enhanced filtration. HEPA filters are also an excellent option for households with severe allergies, as they are designed to capture up to 99.97% of airborne particles. #### **3. Air Purifiers and UV Lights** For even greater air quality control, you may want to consider installing an air purifier or UV light system in conjunction with your HVAC unit. Air purifiers are designed to remove particles and pollutants from the air, while UV lights target biological contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and mold spores. When installed inside your HVAC system, UV lights can neutralize these microorganisms as air passes through, helping to keep your home free from airborne pathogens. This combination can significantly enhance air quality and is especially beneficial for households with immune-compromised individuals. #### **4. Humidifiers and Dehumidifiers** Maintaining optimal humidity levels is crucial for indoor air quality. Low humidity can cause dry skin, respiratory irritation, and an increased risk of colds, while high humidity can lead to mold growth and exacerbate allergies. An HVAC technician can install a whole-home humidifier or dehumidifier to regulate moisture levels. These systems work in conjunction with your HVAC unit to keep your home at a comfortable and healthy humidity level year-round. #### **5. Ventilation Solutions** Proper ventilation is essential for removing stale, polluted air and bringing in fresh air from outside. Unfortunately, many modern homes are tightly sealed for energy efficiency, which can lead to a buildup of indoor pollutants. HVAC professionals can assess your home’s ventilation needs and recommend solutions like energy recovery ventilators (ERVs) or heat recovery ventilators (HRVs). These systems exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, improving circulation without compromising energy efficiency. ### **How HVAC Maintenance Supports Indoor Air Quality** Regular HVAC maintenance is a crucial part of keeping your system running smoothly and maintaining good indoor air quality. Here’s how maintenance services can help: - **Filter Replacement:** Replacing your HVAC filters on a regular basis ensures they continue to capture contaminants effectively. During a maintenance visit, an HVAC technician will inspect and replace filters as needed, improving both air quality and system efficiency. - **Cleaning Coils and Components:** Dust and debris can accumulate on HVAC coils, fans, and other components, reducing system performance and circulating pollutants. Professional cleaning during routine maintenance helps keep these parts in optimal condition and prevents contaminants from spreading through your home. - **System Inspections:** Regular inspections can identify issues such as mold growth, leaks, or damaged components that may contribute to poor air quality. By addressing these problems early, you can prevent them from escalating and impacting your home’s air quality. ### **When to Consider Professional HVAC Services for Air Quality** While some tasks, like changing filters, can be handled on your own, other air quality improvements require the expertise of a professional HVAC technician. If you or your family are experiencing increased allergy symptoms while indoors, this could be a sign of poor air quality or inadequate filtration. Similarly, musty or stale odors that persist may indicate mold growth or a buildup of contaminants within your HVAC system. Visible dust or mold around vents can also be a red flag, as excessive dust accumulation or mold spots often signal that your home’s air quality is compromised. If you notice fluctuating humidity levels, resulting in an uncomfortable environment that is either too dry or too humid, it could be promoting mold or bacterial growth. In such cases, consulting with an HVAC professional can help address these issues effectively and ensure a healthier indoor environment. ### **Improve Your Home’s Air Quality with Bonney** Investing in indoor air quality services can make a noticeable difference in your health and comfort.

One very important feature of new furnaces is the ability to ramp down the amount of gas that is being used to generate heat. This is done with adjustable gas valves. Most of the options out there is single and two stage, although there are some manufacturers with 3 stage heat and even modulating or variable capacity valves. Confused yet? Don’t be. It’s as simple as thinking about your gas stove or gas barbecue grill. If it had only an on or off setting, that would be a single stage. Great if everything you want to heat up is always the same size and needs exactly the same heat every time, like a great big steak. Not so great if you are wanting to heat up a single piece of toast. That’s where two stage heating comes in. A furnace with two stages of heat has two settings, a low and a high setting. Just like if your grill had low for simmering and high for broiling. Three stage is similar. The benefits are obvious: low heat for maintaining temperature, high for those really cold days or nights. More comfortable heat that costs less. Variable capacity or modulating gas furnaces take this to the next level with many more possibilities of heating. The furnace uses just the right amount of gas needed to heat your home. Not too much, not too little, just right. And, with very little gas wasted in the process.

A [mini-split unit](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/ductless-mini-split-systems/) could be the ![Ductless Mini-Split Heating and Cooling System | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/Man-cave2-300x189.jpg)perfect solution to man-cave comfort! Even though mini split technology has been around for 30 years, many people are not that familiar with it. Mini-splits are very popular in Europe and Japan and are a viable alternative to noisy window units, space heaters, and inflexible central heating and cooling systems. There are numerous advantages to installing a mini-split system in your home; Minimal installation, precise heating and cooling, energy efficiency, and no ducts to deal with. A duct-less mini split system is the perfect solution for a space that may not be connected to your home’s central HVAC unit. Mini-splits have two main components, an outdoor compressor/condenser and an indoor air-handling unit. A conduit, which houses the power cable, refrigerant tubing, suction tubing, and a condensate drain links the outdoor and indoor units. The hook-up between the outdoor and indoor units generally require only a three-inch hole through a wall for a conduit. It also comes with a convenient digital remote control that handles all the functions of the unit. If you spend a lot of time tinkering around in the garage, you know it gets HOT in the summertime. A ductless mini-split system is the perfect solution to sweaty summers working in the hot garage. Relax, open a beer, and let the cold air of the mini-split wash over you like the cool delta breeze. Some homeowners build a sunroom addition to their home that isn’t connected to the central air conditioning. A sunroom in July can get pretty hot. There’s nothing worse than being uncomfortable in a space designed for leisure. A ductless mini-split system is a good choice for sunrooms or room additions where extending or installing ductwork is not feasible. A mini-split can also take the chill out of the room in the winter quickly and efficiently. A mini-split system can also work in conjunction with your central heating and cooling system. If you’re going to spend most of your day in one room, like a man-cave or home office, why heat or cool the entire house with a central system? The beauty of a ductless system is it targets only the areas of your home you want to heat or cool. ![Energy Efficient Ductless Mini-Split Systems | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/mini-split-closeup-300x208.jpg)Mini splits have no ducts, so they avoid the energy loses associated with the ductwork of central air systems. Duct loses can account for 30% of energy consumption for space conditioning, especially if the ducts are in an unconditioned space like and attic. One more benefit of a ductless mini-split system is air quality. With filters in each indoor unit, ductless systems provide cleaner air in the rooms where they are installed. With ductless, it’s not just about controlling air temperature, it’s about controlling air quality. When circulation is contained within a confined space, there’s no cross-contamination or air between rooms. If you’re looking to add or extend heating and cooling to a room addition, garage, mancave or sunroom where ducting is not readily available, a ductless mini-system may be the best option for you. A mini-split can also be effectively used in addition to your central heating and air-conditioning. Considering a ductless mini-split system for your home? Give Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air a call at 800-444-0551. One of our Premier Certified Technicians will recommend the best mini-split system to suit your heating and cooling needs. ![Josh Tyack HVAC Manager Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JOSH-TYACK.jpg) [Josh Tyack](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/joshtyack/) Josh Tyack is the manager of the HVAC repair team at Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, Electrical, Heating & Air.

Unfortunately, heaters often break in the middle of the winter. After sitting dormant during the summer months, furnaces suddenly are put to work when winter arrives. Ones that are reaching the end of their lifespan and have worn out parts may fail right away or work for a few weeks before suddenly failing. ![Heating Repair in Sacramento | Bonney Plumbing ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/winters-coming-furnace-ready-300x225.jpg)Having been a [local heating repair Sacramento CA](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/) provider since 1978, our team here at Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning has handled thousands of emergency calls on cold winter nights when families find themselves suddenly without heat. While we’re always available to help, we know what a hassle it can be to have to shiver until a technician can reach you. That’s why we recommend having a heating system checkup done once a year during the fall season before winter arrives. A fall furnace checkup doesn’t just reduce your risk of ending up in an emergency situation during the winter. It also provides a number of other benefits, including: - **Lower Energy Bills.** During check-ups, we often spot problems that are leading to inefficiency. We can repair issues and ensure that your heating system is working optimally and not wasting energy. - **Longer-Lasting Furnaces.** We can handle manufacturer’s recommended maintenance services during a fall furnace check-up. Completing these maintenance tasks on schedule can help to extend the life of your furnace. - **Lower Repair Bills.** It’s often less expensive to address a problem than it is to make a repair. If one part of a furnace isn’t working properly, it can lead to damage to other parts, resulting in a bigger repair bill. During a check-up, potential problems can be addressed right away before they lead to further and more costly problems. - **A Safer Home.** A fall furnace inspection can uncover dangerous gas leaks with a natural gas furnace or potential fire hazards with other types of furnaces. A complete furnace check-up should include a full inspection of every part of the furnace whether you have a natural gas-fired heater, an electric heater, a split furnace system, a package system or a heat pump. The vents, motor, manifold, burners and thermostat should all be inspected, and that’s all included in the Fall Furnace Tune-Up that we offer. ## Furnace Maintenance in Sacramento To schedule your Fall Furnace Tune-Up or to get a free quote, please [contact Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/contact-us/) today at 1-800-444-0551. ![Josh Tyack HVAC Manager Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JOSH-TYACK.jpg) [Josh Tyack](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/joshtyack/) Josh Tyack is the manager of the HVAC repair team at Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, Electrical, Heating & Air.

That is The Question when it comes to your heating and cooling system. Should you continue to repair an old HVAC system that’s limping along and no longer energy efficient, or should you focus on replacing it with a new energy efficient system? If your heating and cooling system is more than 10-15 years old and repair costs are over $1,000, it’s wise to think about upgrading to a new energy efficient HVAC system. Repairing or replacing their HVAC system is a decision a family in Hollywood Park was considering. When their home got chilly the heating system would come on, but only work intermittently. For the most part, it just blew cold air. Cold air in the wintertime is about as comforting as a wet blanket! Heating wasn’t the only problem they were having. The air conditioning was limping along, too. In the summer the air conditioner would only cool parts of the home closest to the unit. It would blast in the master bedroom but the other rooms got left out of the cold. On really hot days, the AC would run all day trying to cool the house which caused their utility bills to skyrocket! The couple would always dread opening the utility bill, especially in July and August. Let’s just say their entire HVAC system had more issues than the Kardashians! That’s when they decided to call Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air. Bonney 5-star certified HVAC technician Chris S. came out the next day and was welcomed by Laura B., the owner of the home, who was bundled up with sweaters and blankets at night ever since the heating system broke down. Their heating and cooling system was an old Armstrong package unit from 1999. Chris S. performed diagnostic tests on the unit and discovered it had a whole host of problems. Laura said, “I learned so much about our old system from Chris S. and even though I suspected inefficiencies with the old system, I was shocked to learn just how inefficient our old system actually was”. Chris gave them no pressure options for repair, and they also talked about replacing the 18 year old unit. Laura and Greg talked it over that night and decided to replace their old unit and purchase a new heating and cooling system from Bonney. They were familiar with Bonney’s 5-star service and were excited about getting a shiny new heating and cooling system. They chose a package unit with a 16 seer rating. The higher the SEER rating, which stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, the more energy efficient the unit is. The choice of SEER level makes a big difference when buying a new Heating and Air unit. With a 16 Seer rating they also qualified for a $500 rebate from SMUD. The family appreciated the Bonney e-mail beforehand letting them know who was coming to their home to install their new heating and cooling system. The e-mail includes a photo of the installer, a bio, and customer reviews. The Bonney Installation Team was led by 5-star HVAC installer David L.. The install team arrived right on time and went straight to work on replacing the dilapidated old package unit. After the Bonney Install Team carefully removed the old HVAC unit and had it hauled off they promptly went to work on installing the new energy efficient American Standard unit. The first thing David L. did was prep the area where the new unit would be installed. He meticulously leveled the ground to make sure it was flat. Then they installed a treated wood border with a gravel base and set the mounting pad. It’s extremely important to have a level ground for a new AC unit. The compressor or the refrigerant lines may be damaged if the unit is not level. The install team, led by David L. carefully placed the new unit down and hooked it up to the home’s electrical panel. They also had problems with the ductwork in the crawl space. The crawl space was a muddy mess after all the rain we had in Sacramento The Bonney Installation Team slipped on their Bonney coveralls, ducked into the crawlspace and slithered on their elbows and knees through the mud and inspected and replaced the messed up ductwork. One of the ducts was waterlogged due to the heavy rains and another duct was essentially destroyed. Having torn, dirty or waterlogged ductwork is not energy efficient and can also create a lot of air quality issues that you don’t want your family breathing. Laura B. said, “I am really pleased with the inspection and replacement of our ductwork, which was shockingly inefficient and had major problems that were allowing our hot and cool air to blow out into the world.” The couple also loves the new programmable digital thermostat. “We used to wake up in the middle of the night to turn the system down. Now we just schedule the system to turn down automatically with the digital thermostat and we have fewer interruptions while we’re sleeping”. Bonney 5-star Install technician David L. carefully went through step by step on how to use and program the new Honeywell thermostat. Just set it and forget it! Since the new HVAC system was installed the family’s utility bill has decreased substantially. Their new HVAC system is quieter too! Whenever their old HVAC system would come on it sounded like a jet airplane taking off. The family now has a brand new heating and cooling system for their home. It’s quiet, energy efficient, and evenly heats and cools the home. Laura added, “I feel a big sense of relief since our new system was installed by Bonney. I no longer worry about our old unit wasting energy and not cooling or heating the house efficiently. All in all, I am very pleased with the new system and also very satisfied with the help and personal service we received from Bonney.” If you’re interested in repairing or replacing your heating and cooling system, give Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air Conditioning a call at 800-444-0551 or [contact us online](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/contact-us/).

One of our wonderful Bonney customers of seventeen years went above and beyond by writing a heartfelt letter to Bonney’s CEO Allen Crick. She raved about Zachary V., one of our certified premier HVAC technicians, and how he performed 5-Star Service with personal interest, a sense of satisfaction, and a strong positive attitude. It was a touching tribute to one of Bonney’s finest HVAC technicians. --- Dear Mr. Crick, I am writing to you to give you my highest commendation to one of your technicians, namely, Zachary Vizgaudis. In my dealing with your company during the past seventeen years, my husband, now deceased, and I, have always found your people to be excellent workers. During the past three weeks when my AC had failed to operate one of your people, the young man named above stood out among others. He shows strong personal interest in doing his work. It is obvious to see that he is deeply involved in what he is doing and shows a strong feeling of personal responsibility for doing it well. As he explained things to me I could feel his sense of satisfaction with his work. He truly enjoys what he is doing. It’s good to see a young person with such a strong positive attitude. I was a school teacher for thirty-seven years, young children only, but I know from experience that such a positive attitude is not built into every person. I must also mention that Zachary was also concerned for my comfort and protection from the excessive heat in the house. He put a portable air-conditioner in the living room and explained how to make the best use of it regarding the change on my electric bill. I was grateful for his concern and his advice. It made me feel as if I was being spoken to by a friend – it helped me feel relaxed. At my age of eighty-seven I don’t find new friends too often. One other activity I must mention is that when the final part of the job was ready to be done it was a procedure that Zachary had never seen before. He was not scheduled to work that day, but he wanted to improve his knowledge and capability, so he had his schedule changed so as to allow him to work with the older and more experienced man who was to do the final operation and finish the job. He spoke to me about how he always wants to improve his knowledge. Having been well satisfied, as usual, with the work of your company, this time it had an unusual and welcome personal touch. You are fortunate to have Zachary on your team. Thank you, as always, for your help.

That means Fall Furnace Season has arrived! Now is the perfect time to think about your heating system BEFORE the cold weather gets here. And you SHOULD think about it, because you don’t want to have a furnace system breakdown in the middle of winter. A breakdown in the winter could mean expensive repairs, a delay in service due to peak demand, and a chilly home….and you don’t want to wear gloves and a parka inside the house! A yearly tune-up or maintenance in the fall is the best way to keep your heating system running smoothly and efficiently all winter long**. Preventative maintenance is the single most important factor when it comes to keeping your heating system happy and healthy.** **Safety for you and your family** A furnace tune-up helps you and your family stay safe. If you have a small crack or defect in the heating system harmful gases, like carbon monoxide, can leak through and lead to health problems and in higher amounts, a fatality can occur. Unfortunately, there are cases across the country of deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning. Health issues can be prevented with an annual tune-up and safety check as well as carbon monoxide detectors. Always play it safe when it comes to your heating system. **Save Energy and Money** A furnace tune-up ensures your heating equipment is running at the highest efficiency level possible, saving energy AND money. It’s always wise to keep your heating system in prime working condition. Poorly maintained HVAC systems use more energy which will create a higher monthly utility bill. The U.S. Department of Energy says that “heating and cooling makes up 54% of the average energy costs for a household”. Just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, an annual tune-up of your heating system can improve efficiency and comfort. **Avoid a breakdown** Having a heating system breakdown in the middle of cold weather season is something you want to avoid. Most furnace breakdowns are directly related to little or no maintenance, resulting in premature breakdown of your furnace components. If you start hearing strange noises from the heater or smell unusual odors from the vents, don’t ignore it and hope it goes away. An annual check-up of your heating unit can help you avoid a costly breakdown. An unexpected breakdown of your heating system will create stress, cost money, and everybody’s teeth will be chattering if it gets too cold. **Check the Air Filter** During a fall furnace check-up filters can be checked, replaced or cleaned if possible. A dirty or clogged filter is probably the number one cause of furnace problems. A dirty filter blocks the airflow causing your system to work harder to keep your home warm and toasty. An air filter can get especially dirty if you have a smoker or pets in the home. Clean or replace your air filter every other month, sometimes even more often. It’s easy to forget how important it is to check your air filter but it’s vital to a clean, healthy, efficient heating and cooling system. If you hold your filter up to the light and can’t see through it, wash or replace it. **Inspect the Electrical Wires** A [furnace tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/) and safety check should always consist of an electrical wire check for faulty, exposed, or loose wiring. Checking the wires is essential for safety. If a wire becomes broke, loose, or short-circuited you are increasing your chances of equipment failure. If your circuit breaker keeps tripping, it could be also due to faulty wiring. Don’t let your heating system breakdown! No central heat in the middle of a winter cold spell can be a life filled with bulky sweaters, inefficient space heaters, and cold noses.

Just like a car needs an oil change every 3,000 to 5,000 miles – your HVAC unit should be regularly maintained as well. For a reasonably small investment, maintaining your HVAC unit can save money, create cleaner air, help keep you safe, and improve the overall comfort of your home. ## Save Money on HVAC Energy, Repair, and Replacement Regular HVAC maintenance can save you money in both the short-term and the long-term. These savings can materialize in the form of reduced energy costs through improved HVAC efficiency, fewer repair visits throughout the years, and an extended lifespan for your heating and cooling unit. Here is a closer look at how HVAC maintenance can help you save money: - **Fewer HVAC Repairs:** Regular HVAC maintenance can reduce the risk of costly system breakdowns by as much as 95%, saving you money on needed repairs. - **Fewer HVAC Replacements:** By maintaining the manufacturer-recommended care, you can significantly extend the life of your HVAC system. - **Higher Efficiency, Lower Electric Bills:** When your system is clean and running efficiently, you can enjoy lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. - **Early Detection Means Smaller Repairs:** Early detection is key to keeping inevitable HVAC repairs affordable. With annual maintenance, an expert can detect issues early and [repair](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) them before they become costly problems. - **HVAC Warranty Preservation:** Most HVAC manufacturers require proof of annual maintenance when a repair claim is submitted under warranty, meaning that HVAC maintenance can help you stay covered. - **Additional HVAC Savings:** When partnering with an annual [HVAC maintenance plan](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-automatic-maintenance-bam/), you may be afforded additional savings opportunities. This can include money-saving perks like 15% off service fees, 50% off of diagnostics, and extended warranties. ## Breath Fresh Air With Duct Cleaning Sacramento and surrounding communities have been in the top 10 of worst major U.S. cities for ozone pollution according to the Lung Association’s Annual [State of the Air](http://www.stateoftheair.org/city-rankings/) report the last couple of years. This is due to record high Summer temperatures, seasonal wildfires, as well as common indoor allergies such as dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and mold. Regular air duct cleaning and preventative maintenance help ensure that warm or cold air flowing through your vents is as clean and well filtered as possible – helping you breathe easier. ## Home Safety: HVAC Electrical Inspections While you may not think twice about the risks posed by your heating and cooling system, truthfully, it may need regular inspections to guarantee your home’s safety. It is possible for your HVAC system to short circuit and potentially cause a fire. During an HVAC maintenance visit, a [NATE-certified technician](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/licenses-certifications/) will tighten loose electrical connections and check voltage and amperage draw on all motors. These routine inspections help ensure that your unit’s electrical system is properly configured and poses no threat to your safety. Additionally, preventative maintenance can help reduce the risk of a carbon monoxide leak. This issue can occur when there is a cracked or failed heat exchanger in your system. At Bonney, HVAC maintenance visits include a carbon monoxide test to help detect any potential hazard. ## Improved Comfort With Effective Heating and Cooling Whether it’s cold or hot outside, you depend on your HVAC system to keep you comfortable year-round. Regular maintenance helps your system produce the warm or cool air you need no matter the season. Routine care helps your system perform effectively by ensuring that each component within your heating and cooling unit is working properly. Maintenance visits also include essential thermostat cleaning and care. When your thermostat is misreading the temperature of your home, your [heating](https://www.bonney.com/heating/) and [cooling](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/) system will adjust accordingly. With regular care for your thermostat, HVAC maintenance visits can help you keep your system reading accurately and running comfortably. ## Bonney HVAC Maintenance in Sacramento Bonney offers a variety of options when it comes to maintaining your HVAC unit in and throughout Sacramento.

Its monthly costs can vary based on how you use your system, how efficient your unit is, and how well you take care of it. If you are seeking ways to lower your energy bills, [regular HVAC maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) is an easy solution. Learn more here about how heating and cooling system maintenance from Bonney can help you save money while keeping your home comfortable year-round. ## **HVAC Maintenance and Efficient Unit Functioning** Your HVAC system consists of several different components, each of which needs to be properly functioning for your unit to run efficiently. If any part is dirty, blocked, lagging, or broken, the rest of your unit will work harder to provide comfortable air to your home. This extra energy usage can drive up the cost of your bills. Luckily, these issues are preventable by keeping up with the annual care your unit needs. During a maintenance visit, an expert will clean necessary parts, check every component of your system, detect any issues it may have, and work with you to solve any problems that may be raising your rates. ## **Effective Heating and Cooling** If you listen closely, do you hear your system struggling to run? Clanging, squealing, rattling, buzzing, or loud squeaking noises from your system are all signs that your unit is not working with ease. When your HVAC unit works ineffectively, it has to work strenuously to keep your home comfortable. Proper maintenance ensures that your system has everything it needs to perform at peak performance, thus allowing you to enjoy lower energy bills and a comfortable home without the extra work. ## **Reduced Need for HVAC Repairs** Many heating and cooling systems last up to 15 years—during this extensive range of time, it is likely that you will need some [HVAC repairs](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) along the way. However, when you do not provide your unit with the maintenance it needs, your system will develop preventable issues such as freezing coils, compressor failure, sensor issues, and refrigerant leaks, among others. These extra needed repairs may collectively increase costs that are higher than your maintenance costs would have been. Instead, by participating in the manufacturer-recommended care, you can keep your system in good condition for as long as possible. ## **Affordable and Contained Heating and Cooling Repairs** When the time comes that your unit does need a repair, your best recourse is to fix the issue as early as possible. Otherwise, one small issue can become a major one. Early detection is key to keeping repairs affordable and issues at bay. When signing up for a maintenance plan, two tune-ups are included—one [heating tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/) and one [AC tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) per year. This plan is built to help ensure issues never last long without professional detection – saving you time and money in the long run. ## **Extended HVAC Life Expectancy** It is no secret that replacing your HVAC system can be an investment. While it is inevitable that your system will eventually need to be replaced, the best way to keep this cost low is to extend the lifespan of your unit. By maximizing the time between replacements, maintenance will help you get the most out of your heating and cooling system. ## **Bonney HVAC Maintenance in Sacramento** Looking for affordable ways to keep your system protected?

It becomes even more frustrating when the repairs suggested by your technician do not seem to make sense. Confusing explanations, high prices, and limited options might make you start to doubt your HVAC service provider. The experts at Bonney have worked hard to develop a customer-centered service approach focused on transparency. This is why many homeowners call Bonney when they need a second opinion, and it is how we have earned many of our lifelong customers. When you are experiencing HVAC issues, the last thing you need is uncertain service. These considerations can help you understand whether or not you need an HVAC service second opinion. ## Experienced and Trustworthy Service Technicians Have you ever had a technician seem to inflate your heating and cooling issue? Perhaps they insist that nothing is wrong with a warrantied system that is not working properly? Or suggest that you need several costly repairs for one small issue? Technicians like these can make it hard to feel confident in your HVAC service. If you suspect that an expert may be trying to get the best of you, you should consider getting a second opinion. **What can a second opinion do?** The experts at Bonney always work to explain the source of an issue and provide evidence, such as videos or images of the problem. This ensures that our customers can trust our insight and recommendations. We also walk customers through all of their repair and replacement options rather than pressing the most costly services. ## Finding a Trustworthy Price While you may not like the thought of paying for a second service call, it can be well worth it if your HVAC technician is trying to overcharge you. High-quality parts and services often cost more for a long-lasting repair, while short-term fixes and smaller services tend to cost less. Some HVAC companies pay their technicians on a 100% commission basis, which gives them an incentive to charge you as much as possible. If you feel that your technician is charging you high-quality prices for low-quality services, it may work worth it to get a second opinion. **What can a second opinion do?** When you get a second opinion on service costs, you can understand the tradeoffs between quality and affordability to find a service that meets your needs. At Bonney, we also offer [coupons](https://www.bonney.com/coupons-specials/#tab_all-services-), [tax credits, rebates](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/), and promotions on top of our everyday low prices to help customers save money. Unlike many other HVAC service businesses, Bonney does not send 100% commission sales technicians to do our diagnostic visits. Rather than pushing you to sign up for the most expensive services possible, our experts will unbiasedly recommend the services that you actually need. ## High-Quality HVAC Service Hiring a heating and cooling company involves trusting them to take good care of your home. High-quality HVAC service, maintenance, repairs, and replacements are essential for long-lasting and effective results. If you feel like your technician is cutting corners or putting a small bandaid over a large issue, you may need a second opinion. **What can a second opinion do?** You can get a new perspective on your needed service and find an expert who will take care of your home. It also gives you time to [read reviews](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/testimonials/) and find a high-quality professional you can trust. Partnering with a reliable and expansive business like Bonney is one way to know that you are getting dependable expertise. Our technicians have earned the trust of Sacramento area communities by providing consistent, high-quality HVAC service. ## Exploring Your Options The heating and cooling sector is evolving constantly, and you may be missing out if your HVAC company is not keeping up. You want to partner with an expert who offers the latest HVAC units, parts, and technology. For example, some businesses now offer [in-unit air purifier installations](https://www.bonney.com/2020/09/air-quality-uvc-lights/), high-tech programmable thermostats, and new energy-efficient [heating](https://www.bonney.com/heating/heating-installation/) & [cooling](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/) systems. If you find that your HVAC company has limited offerings, a second opinion might help you discover other available options. **What can a second opinion do?** When you get a second opinion, you can explore all of your possible options. Unlike many HVAC service providers, Bonney is not partnered with a single manufacturer or [brand](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/quality-brands/). This lets us widen our scope to all of the latest HVAC offerings for our customers. Having more available options lets you explore different product reviews, features, prices, energy efficiency, and capability to find what works best for you. ## Bonney HVAC Service in Sacramento When you need an HVAC service second opinion, the professionals at Bonney can help!

Fall is the perfect time to get your heating system ready with expert [tune-ups](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/). Learn more here about preparing your furnace for the colder weather. ## The Importance of Proper Furnace Care Many homes in Sacramento rely on furnace systems for heat in the winter. This is because they are built to rely on natural gas, and furnace systems are incredibly affordable to operate; however, furnaces require professional care to work safely, efficiently, and effectively. Otherwise, your furnace can quickly become a safety hazard. Furnace care can also extend the lifespan of your system, help it run more efficiently, and help your system work effectively to keep your home comfortable. Here is a closer look at the expert care your furnace needs each fall. ## Check for Gas Line Leaks If you have a gas furnace, gas line leaks present one of the most significant concerns for homeowners. In addition to the high bills you will face, the natural gas they release into your home can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, coordination loss, fatigue, and shortness of breath. During your annual furnace inspection, a professional will check for any gas leaks. For more information, you can read our [full guide to gas line leaks here](https://www.bonney.com/2020/10/gas-line-leaks/). ## Inspect and Clean Burners Your furnace burners are where the oxygen intake mixes with furnace fuel. This produces the heat that is then distributed throughout your home. Over time, your burners can build up rust, dirt, and other contaminants. This will prevent fuel from seamlessly flowing from one burner to the next, causing your system to work inefficiently and ineffectively. Furnace debris can also enter your airflow distribution, impacting your[ air quality](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/). Prolonged burner buildup may cause furnace issues, requiring extensive repairs or system replacements. Regular inspections and necessary burner cleanings can help protect your furnace and your home. ## Inspection of Furnace Venting The furnace combustion process can create harmful gases, which must safely vent from your unit. Improper venting can damage your furnace while presenting health risks, like carbon monoxide poisoning. During a thorough venting check, a technician will ensure that your furnace safely carries combustion gases away from your home. ## Check Manifold Pressure Your furnace’s manifold pressure is the rate at which gas is pumped into your furnace burners. Your ideal gas pressure depends on your unit, but it is important that your manifold pressure not be too high or too low. - **High manifold pressure:** Too much pressure leads to an increase in the gas your furnace is receiving. This can cause furnace overheating and internal damage. - **Low manifold pressure:** Too little pressure can impact your furnace efficiency and effectiveness. Low manifold pressure can also lead to extra air in your air/fuel mixture, which allows condensation inside of your furnace. Lingering condensation can cause rust and corrosion inside of your heat exchanger. By checking your manifold pressure, an expert can ensure that your furnace is working safely, efficiently, and effectively. ## Inspection of Heat Exchanger The heat exchanger carries warm air upwards and into your home. This part also keeps toxic fumes from entering your air supply, which makes them vital to furnace safety. The problem here is that heat exchangers are long, winding, and tube-like in structure, which can make them difficult to inspect. Using specialty equipment, an expert can complete a video inspection of your heat exchanger to ensure that it does not have any cracks or corrosion that may compromise your safety. ## Checking Temperature Splits and Part Conditions How do you know that your furnace is working properly? The industry standard in checking any HVAC function is temperature split tests. Temperature splits are the difference between the temperature of your air input versus your air output. The lower the split, the less heat your furnace is producing. An expert will use this test to ensure that your system is creating an effective difference between these two readings. Your technician will also inspect the overall condition of your furnace parts, checking for corrosion, buildup, or damage. ## Heat Pump Tune-Up Bonney also extends expert service to Sacramento buildings with heat pumps. These systems are commonly used by homes and businesses that do not run on natural gas. The services performed during a heat pump tune-up are similar to [air-conditioning tune-up services](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/). ## Heater Tune-Up from Bonney When you are ready to give your heating system the care it needs, contact the experts at Bonney. Our professionals will ensure that your HVAC system is ready to work all season long.

This can be partially attributed to increased light usage—considering the common addition of Christmas lights and the indoor lights that compensate for short winter days. However, the primary culprit of high winter energy bills is your heating system. Heating a home tends to cost more than twice as much as cooling a home. So why does heating cost so much? ## **Cold Weather and the Higher Temperature Difference** Heating your home costs more than cooling your home because cold weather tends to stray further from comfortable temperatures than warm weather. Let’s take a closer look using Sacramento temperature averages as an example: - 72℉ is often considered to be the ideal home temperature—we can use this as a benchmark. - The warmest day, on average, in Sacramento reaches a high of over 100℉. - The coldest day, on average, in Sacramento reaches below 39℉. - On the warmest day in Sacramento, your home will need to provide a 28℉ temperature difference to reach 72℉. - On the coldest day in Sacramento, your home will need to provide a 33℉ temperature difference to reach 72℉. Areas with colder-leaning weather—such as Chicago and New York—will see even larger temperature gaps. You can use [Weather Spark](https://weatherspark.com/y/1157/Average-Weather-in-Sacramento-California-United-States-Year-Round#:~:text=The%20hottest%20day%20of%20the,high%20of%2053%C2%B0F.) temperature averages to calculate how much harder your heating system needs to work than your cooling system. Because it bridges a wider temperature gap, your heating system will tend to use more energy than your cooling system—resulting in higher monthly bills. ## **Other Factors That Contribute to Heating Costs** Your heating costs will depend on a mixture of different circumstances. Staying aware of these contributing factors can help you counteract them—making it easier to stay warm and keep heating costs low during the colder months. ### **The Type of Heating System You Have** Do you have a heat pump? Furnace? Mini-split system? Is your unit high efficiency? The type of heating system you have will impact your heating costs. For example, mini-split systems often offer affordable, yet less effective heating, while furnace units will cost more to provide comprehensive comfort. You can talk with the experts at Bonney to explore the most affordable and efficient heating options available for your home. ### **Your Annual Maintenance Routine** Like any other system in your home, heaters require annual care. This includes regular inspections, burner cleaning, electrical connection tightening, condenser coil cleaning, and hot surface ignitor checks, among others. Units that receive the manufacturer-recommended care they need will perform more efficiently than heating systems that go without maintenance. Keeping up with your [annual system maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) will help your heater work efficiently throughout the colder months. Watch a video from our experts below to understand how simple maintenance can make your heater more efficient. ### **The Age of Your Unit** Older heating systems will naturally use more energy than newer ones. In part, aged parts can become worn and inefficient. New heating systems also take advantage of the latest energy-efficient upgrades. You will notice that newer heaters come with higher AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings. This rating measures how much of your fuel is being used to actually heat your home versus being wasted. If your furnace or heater has become costly and inefficient, it may be time to upgrade to a new heating system. ### **Distribution Efficiency** Your ductwork serves as your home’s method of heat distribution. The warm air travels from your heater through this system of passageways before being released through your vents. If your ductwork is leaky, old, or inefficient, it will cause air loss during the distribution process. Your heating system will have to work harder to make up for air loss, which creates higher energy bills. Even sealed but uninsulated ductwork will cause a loss in efficiency. This can be solved with duct cleaning, adding insulation for ductwork upgrades. ### **Energy Costs in Your Area** Electric and natural gas costs can vary across states and regions. It is usually the highest in densely-populated areas where the demand is higher, as well as remote locations where delivering energy is more costly. In the Sacramento region, we have a variety of public utility municipalities, including Roseville electric, SMUD, and PG&E. For pricing insight, please refer to their websites or reference your latest utility bill. Our Bonney team members can help you analyze your energy usage and provide recommendations on how you can save money. ### **The Climate in Your Area** Naturally, colder climates tend to create higher heating costs. Whether you live in a cold region or are experiencing a particularly extreme winter, your heating system will have to work more continuously to keep your home comfortable. The harder your heating system is working, the higher your energy costs will be. ### **Your Home’s Elevation** Homes at higher elevations will face cooler temperatures, which can lead to higher heating bills. This is because the atmosphere thins at higher elevations, and the particles lose energy as they expand. Additionally, your home’s elevation can make it harder for your power company to deliver power to your home. This can result in higher energy rates and less reliable energy service. ### **The Landscaping Surrounding Your Home** Trees and shade blocking the sun from meeting your home will make cooling your home in the summer easier and heating your home in the winter harder. The [Department of ](https://www.energy.gov/articles/energy-saver-101-infographic-landscaping)[E](https://www.energy.gov/articles/energy-saver-101-infographic-landscaping)[nergy](https://www.energy.gov/articles/energy-saver-101-infographic-landscaping) reports that heavily shaded areas can be 3-6℉ cooler than treeless areas. In the winter, the trees will shade your home from the sun, though carefully-placed trees may help keep you warm by blocking wind chills. As the “City of Trees,” Sacramento enjoys the shade and blocking of wind chills, but this does make seasonal maintenance a necessity. As part of the [Bonney Beyond maintenance program](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/), you can have the assurance your system will be cleared of leaves and debris. ## **Local Heater Repair, Replacement, and Maintenance Services** Ultimately, heating your home will cost more than cooling—but there are plenty of actions you can take to keep these expenses low. For all of the heating services you need this winter, contact the experts at Bonney.

By knowing these terms, you can make a more informed decision next time you need to buy a new HVAC system or determine what needs to be repaired. Since you’ll know more about the main parts of an HVAC system and key terms, you’ll be in a better position to understand a technician’s recommendations. ## Air Conditioner **What is an air conditioner?** Usually abbreviated to AC or A/C, an air conditioner is a system or appliance used to dehumidify and extract heat from a room or entire facility. ## Air Handler **What is an air handler?** Sometimes called air handling units, air handlers refer to an internal part of a heat pump or AC designed to transfer heated or cooled air through a home’s ductwork. Usually, air handlers are relatively large metal boxes, with various HVAC parts located inside them responsible for controlling filtration and airflow. ## British Thermal Unit **What is a BTU (British Thermal Unit)?** A British Thermal Unit (BTU) refers to a type of heat energy measurement. A single BTU will have enough heat to raise a pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. When you’re looking for a new heating system or evaluating an old one, keep in mind that higher BTU ratings will mean the system has a greater heating capacity. ## Compressor **What is a compressor?** Heat pump and AC compressors are pieces of equipment in a heat pump or AC made to compress the refrigerant and then pump it out to meet a home’s heating and cooling needs. ## Condenser **What is a condenser?** A condenser is a unit in an HVAC system designed to hold all of the parts needed for removing heat. You’ll usually find condenser units located outside a home. ## Condenser Coil **What is a condenser coil?** Condenser coils are mounted inside a system’s ductwork or air handling unit and are a piece of equipment responsible for heat transfer to air. The coil releases a system’s heat by condensing refrigerant into a liquid. ## Condenser Fan **What is a condenser fan?** A condenser fan is located near the condenser coil and is responsible for circulating air over it. ## Ducts **What is ductwork?** Ducts are made up of specially manufactured plastic, metal, or fiberglass tubing. This tubing connects a home’s air diffusers to its air handler. Ductwork refers to the entire series of ducts within a home. ## Electronic Air Purifiers **What is an electronic air purifier?** Sometimes called electronic air cleaners or ionizers, electronic air cleaners reduce a home’s airborne contaminants by using filters featuring an electric charge. When air goes through an HVAC system, the ionizer will capture dangerous particles with its filters before the contaminants can recirculate through a home’s air. ## Energy Efficiency Ratio **What is an Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER)?** Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) refers to an AC’s ratio of cooling capacity to the power input, with the power input measured in watts. When an AC has a higher EER rating, it will be more efficient than those with lower ratings. ## ENERGY STAR® **What is ENERGY STAR®?** When looking for HVAC equipment with exceptional energy efficiency, you’ll want to look for an ENERGY STAR label. ENERGY STAR is an EPA and U.S. Department of Energy program designed to promote energy efficiency. These labels indicate a piece of HVAC equipment meets or exceeds the federal government’s guidelines surrounding energy-efficient performance. ## Evaporator Coil **What is an evaporator coil?** Evaporator coils are parts of heat pumps or AC’s designed to absorb the heat in a house’s air. You can usually find these coils connected to a furnace or placed inside the air handler. ## Heat Pump **What is a heat pump?** An HVAC unit’s heat pump is made to cool or heat air by moving heat. Over the summer, a heat pump will take heat from inside the house and distribute it outside. In the winter, a heat pump will capture heat from the outside air and then transfer it to the home’s HVAC system. ## Packaged Units **What are packaged units?** Packaged units contain a home’s cooling and heating system’s in a single outdoor unit. ## Refrigerant **What is refrigerant?** Air conditioners rely on refrigerant, as this chemical will create a cooling effect during vaporization or expansion. Generally, the most common type of [refrigerant in residential AC systems](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/3-signs-low-refrigerant/) is freon, which is made up of stable chlorofluorocarbon gas. ## Refrigerant Lines **What are refrigerant lines?** An AC’s refrigerant line refers to the two copper lines in an HVAC system designed to connect the indoor evaporator coil with the exterior heat pump or AC. ## Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio **What is SEER?** Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) is a popular air conditioner energy efficiency rating. If a unit has a higher SEER rating, it will be more efficient. ## Thermostat **What is a thermostat?** Thermostats are devices responsible for monitoring a home’s temperature. Alongside monitoring temperature, they’ll automatically change a cooling or heating system to ensure a system stays at the level a user sets. ## Variable Speed Motor **What is a variable speed motor?** A variable-speed motor is a kind of motor made to operate at a wide variety of speeds. Since it can operate at such a broad range, it excels at precisely controlling a home’s cooled and heated air distribution. ## Choose Bonney for AC Service and Heater Service Near You Now that you’re familiar with some of the main HVAC terms, you might be interested in receiving AC repair services near you.

Since furnaces can start to work less efficiently or even break when they’re not taken care of, it’s essential you maintain yours and inspect it for damage. Before you switch on your heat, take a moment to review some of the main furnace tune-up steps you’ll want to take to ensure your heating system will keep your home warm all winter long. ## Why You Should Perform Furnace Tune-Ups Just like any piece of equipment, furnaces will start to face wear and tear as they age. When they’re not cared for properly, they’ll break faster and need more repairs. Regular furnace maintenance can help your furnace run at its best and prevent breakdowns during the heating season. Another reason to perform furnace tune-ups is that they can improve your home’s air quality and ensure your heating system is safe. Furnace maintenance also saves you money on repairs and heating bills, as it helps your furnace use energy more efficiently and stops minor issues from turning into major ones. Additionally, you can extend your heating system’s service life by performing regular maintenance. Read more about the top eight steps for furnace tune-ups here. ## 1. Check Your Furnace Filters Clean furnace filters are essential to your furnace’s efficiency, meaning it’s critical to check them before the winter. If your filters are dirty, your furnace can suffer from restricted airflow, dangerous contaminants, overworking, and reduced efficiency. These factors can cause your furnace to break down and raise your energy costs. While inspecting your [furnace’s air filter](https://www.bonney.com/2018/01/reasons-to-replace-furnace-filters/), take it out and hold it up to a light source. When light isn’t passing through the filter, it’s too dirty, and you’ll need to replace it. If light passes through the filter, you can likely continue to use it. Keep in mind—most furnace filters need to be cleaned or replaced every one to three months. ## 2. Clean the Combustion Chamber The inside of a combustion chamber can get dirty over time, and cleaning it out is essential to ensuring your furnace works efficiently. Before you attempt to clean the chamber out, take a moment to cut the furnace’s fuel supply and electrical power. You can switch off the fuel supply with the fuel shutoff valve. For the electrical power, flick the unit’s switch to the off position. After turning off the power and cutting the fuel supply, open the combustion chamber door. Next, you can use a vacuum to clean out the interior. If you notice any corrosion in the chamber holes, call a professional to inspect them and create a plan of action. ## 3. Look for Blocked Vents When you have a furnace that vents air out the side of your home, you’ll want to see if the exhaust or intake is blocked. Clear intakes and exhausts will allow air to flow around your home and outside of it easily. As a result, it’s a good idea to look for anything blocking your vents, such as animal nests, leaves, debris, and ice or snow. If you find anything blocking your vents, remove it. ## 4. Clear Debris from Blower Compartment After turning off your furnace and cutting the fuel line, open the furnace’s blower compartment door. With the door open, vacuum out the blower compartment and remove any debris that could clog the system. Like the combustion chamber, search for holes and corrosion in the compartment and the exhaust flue. If you notice any holes or corrosion, [call a professional](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/) to perform repairs. ## 5. Inspect Heat Exchanger for Signs of Damage When a heat exchanger has cracks in it, carbon monoxide can leak out and poison people in your home. Typically, heat exchanger cracks occur due to overstressed coils. If you notice cracks in your heat exchanger, you should leave your home and have a professional look at the cracks as fast as possible. Since a professional is trained to look for signs of wear, it’s often best to hire them to perform any [heat exchanger repairs](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-repair/) for you. ## 6. Test and Adjust Your Gas Pressure Your furnace’s gas pressure is key to its performance. A furnace with low gas pressure will suffer from poor efficiency and eventually start to corrode. High gas pressure can also negatively impact your furnace, as the excess heat the high pressure generates can damage internal components. Since your gas pressure needs to be at an appropriate level, it’s critical to [schedule regular pressure tests](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/). A trained technician can quickly tell if your gas pressure is at the right levels. If your gas pressure is too low or high, the technician can adjust it for you and ensure your furnace runs at peak performance. ## 7. Schedule a Professional Inspection While it’s safe to handle a few base furnace tune-up tasks on your own, you’ll likely want to turn to a professional for more complicated or dangerous tasks. By [scheduling a professional inspection](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/), an HVAC tech can look over your system and spot areas where you need furnace maintenance. These inspections can end up saving you a significant amount of money, as preventative maintenance and repairs can make your system more energy-efficient and stop costly breakdowns from happening. You might also want to [hire a professional](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/) when your furnace faces issues you can’t handle yourself. For example, if your furnace starts producing more soot than normal, a technician can diagnose the issue. You’ll also want to turn to a technician if your furnace is short-cycling or has an irregular flame, such as one producing a yellow flame instead of a blue one. ## Choose Bonney for Furnace Tune-Ups in Sacramento & Concord If you live in the [Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-service-areas/) or[ Concord areas](https://www.bonney.com/big-air/) of California and need a furnace tune-up, turn to Bonney for your [heating repair and maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-repair/) needs.

One of the first steps to solving furnace problems is to know how to identify the underlying issue. By knowing some of the primary issues furnaces face, you can quickly identify what sort of repair is needed to get it running effectively again. Review four of the most common furnace problems and their repairs below: ## 1. Dirty Furnace Filters One of the most common furnace issues is [clogged or dirty filters](https://www.bonney.com/2018/01/reasons-to-replace-furnace-filters/). Furnace filters ensure your air stays clean, but they can fill up with dirt, dust, and other contaminants. If you don’t change your filters regularly, your furnace filters can grow too dirty to allow air to pass through them. When air can’t flow through your filter, your furnace won’t be able to heat your home efficiently. While dirty filters can significantly impact your furnace’s performance, they’re an easy fix. Usually, you’ll just need to replace your old filter with a clean one. To prevent this issue from occurring, remember to always swap out your filters on their recommended schedule. Most filters need replacement every one to two months, so it’s important to get in the habit of replacing them on schedule. ## 2. Damaged or Outdated Thermostats If your furnace isn’t heating your home, it may be an issue with the thermostat instead of the furnace itself. When a thermostat malfunctions, it can think your home is at a different temperature than it actually is, leading to the thermostat not telling the furnace to heat your home. A thermostat could also simply be out of batteries or set to the wrong temperature. Dead batteries are a simple fix, as you only have to replace them. In contrast, the repair for a malfunctioning, fully powered thermostat that’s set to the right temperature can be more complex. Due to the complexity of the repair, you’ll want to [hire a trained HVAC technician](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) to examine your thermostat. Based on their inspection, they’ll tell you if you’re having a hardware or software issue and fix or replace the thermostat for you. ## 3. Blocked Vents or Dirty Ductwork Your furnace’s heat exits via vents throughout your home. Sometimes, you’ll have closed your vents by accident, and you’ll only have to open them to receive warm air again. Your vents might also be blocked by furniture placed too close to them, and you’ll need to move the furniture approximately 18 inches away from the vent to allow for proper airflow. If your vents aren’t obstructed or closed and you still aren’t receiving warm air, you may have dirty heating ducts. An HVAC professional can clean your ducts to ensure you receive warm air again. You’ll also likely want to sign up for a [consistent maintenance plan](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/), where an HVAC professional will routinely inspect and clean your system to stop the issue from happening again. ## 4. Cracked Heat Exchanger Another common furnace problem is a cracked heat exchanger. Your furnace’s heat exchanger is made up of heated tubes placed in a coil, with these tubes responsible for warming your furnace’s air before it enters your home. As heat exchangers age, they can suffer from cracks and other damages. Since a crack allows heat to escape the tubes, your furnace won’t warm your home as effectively if the heat exchanger is cracked. If your heat exchanger has a crack in it, it will either need to be [repaired or replaced](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-repair/). Since repairing or replacing heat exchangers requires a great deal of know-how, you’ll likely want to [hire an HVAC professional](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/). This professional will perform the furnace repair or install a replacement and can give you recommendations about properly maintaining your heat exchanger in the future. ## Choose Bonney for Furnace Repair or Replacement in Sacramento and Concord At Bonney, we proudly offer various furnace services to our customers in the Concord and the Sacramento area.

Besides being inconvenient, a damaged gas furnace could even be a danger to your health due to gas leaks. To ensure your furnace is running correctly, learn more about the five main signs your heating system isn’t working properly and what you can do to fix them. ## 1. Your Home Is Cold One of the most obvious signs you have an issue with your furnace is if your home won’t heat up. While your thermostat might be at fault, you could also have damaged ductwork, an older, inefficient furnace, or blocked vents. Due to the many potential culprits, you’ll want to hire a professional to inspect your heating system to find the reason behind why your home is colder than you want. ## 2. Your Furnace Makes Strange Noises While furnaces aren’t silent and will usually produce a humming sound, you’ll want to be on the lookout for strange noises. If you’ve noticed your furnace makes strange noises, such as scraping, screeching, popping, rattling, clanking, or rumbling, your furnace likely needs a repair and is in danger of shutting down entirely. As a result, you’ll want to have it inspected immediately to find the source of the sounds. ## 3. You Smell Gas in Your Home Besides the importance of paying attention to what you can hear, it’s even more important to pay attention to your home’s smell when you have a gas furnace. If you’ve noticed that your gas furnace won’t turn on and there’s an odd smell in your home, your furnace could be failing or have a cracked line, spreading toxic gas into your home. Since gas leaks can be life-threatening, you should immediately leave your home and contact an HVAC technician whenever you smell gas odors in your home. ## 4. Your Furnace Never Shuts Off Throughout the day, your furnace should run until it reaches the temperature you’ve set your thermostat to, and then it should shut off until your home needs it again. If your furnace never turns off, it likely has something wrong with it that’s causing it to work inefficiently. Additionally, a constantly running furnace will put greater stress on its parts, causing it to require more repairs. If you haven’t set your furnace to always run, but it still never shuts off, you’ll need an inspection. ## 5. You’re Paying Higher Electricity or Gas Bills When you’ve noticed your energy or gas bills are spiking and you haven’t had any rate increases that would explain it, you could have an issue with your furnace. When electric and gas furnaces age and start to break down, they’ll begin to use energy less efficiently while they attempt to heat your home. If your energy bills skyrocket whenever you switch on your heating system, it’s time for a furnace inspection and potentially a full replacement. ## What to Do If Your Furnace Is Showing Signs It Isn’t Working Properly If you’ve noticed any of the above warning signs, the first step you should take is to have an HVAC professional perform an inspection. After they inspect your furnace, they should be able to tell you what’s at fault and provide advice on the next steps. To prevent these issues in the future, you’ll also want to hire HVAC professionals to regularly perform [furnace maintenance and inspections](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/) before you ever notice a problem. Since routine furnace maintenance can[ help you catch issues early](https://www.bonney.com/2017/11/the-importance-of-furnace-maintenance/) and take action on them before they become bigger problems, it can keep your furnace performing at its best for the longest time possible. ## Choose Bonney for Heater Repair Services in Sacramento Whether you need furnace tune-up services or a full heater repair, Bonney can help.

Instead of hoping your furnace works after you first turn it on, you can ensure your furnace performs at its best when you need it most with a good furnace tune-up. Before the winter cold descends, follow these five steps to get your furnace ready for the winter. ## 1. Replace Your Furnace Filter Your furnace filter helps keep contaminants out of your home’s air, but debris can build up on it, clogging the unit and preventing air from entering it easily. A clogged filter will cause your furnace to perform less efficiently, resulting in higher energy bills and less effective heating. As a result, you’ll want to start the winter with the cleanest furnace filter possible. Simply swap out the old filter for a new one meeting your furnace’s requirements to get your furnace ready to handle the cold. ## 2. Remove Any Debris or Obstructions Over Your Heat Registers Sometimes, homeowners block their furnace’s heat registers or vents during the spring and summer. As you might expect, if your furnace’s vents are blocked throughout your home, air from the furnace won’t be able to pass through them, and you won’t have any heat. Blocked registers can also cause your furnace to overheat, so it’s important they’re open and clear of any obstructions. Fortunately, removing any furniture or debris over the air vents is usually a quick fix. ## 3. Inspect Your Ductwork for Leaks Any hot air from your furnace will have to pass through your home’s ductwork before it can heat your home. Gaps, holes, and other types of damage to your ductwork can cause hot air to leak out of them. This lost heat will translate to higher energy bills, a furnace that has to work harder to heat your home, and ineffective temperature regulation. Since inspecting your ductwork and repairing leaks can be complicated, you’ll want to hire an HVAC tech to do it for you. ## 4. Ensure Your Furnace Turns On After you’ve completed the steps above, it’s a good idea to see if the furnace turns on. Since the furnace likely hasn’t been on since last winter, it may have a maintenance issue you’re unaware of. To check if your furnace is still functioning, switch your thermostat to its heating setting. If you hear your furnace kick on and feel warm air coming out of the vents, your furnace is likely in good shape. However, if your furnace won’t turn on or the air coming out of your vents doesn’t feel warm enough, you likely have a serious issue. In this case, you’ll need a professional HVAC technician to inspect the furnace and find the source of the problem. ## 5. Schedule a Professional Furnace Inspection While you can perform a few checks yourself, it’s always worth it to receive a professional’s input. An HVAC technician will have the experience needed to properly inspect your unit and spot any issues commonly missed by homeowners. Even if their inspection reveals nothing is wrong, they can perform some routine maintenance for you, such as swapping out the filter or cleaning your vents. ## Choose Bonney for Furnance Repairs in Sacramento If you’re looking for furnace service near you in Sacramento, you can trust Bonney’s HVAC technicians.

Though a furnace replacement will come with higher costs, it’s important to know when an old unit won’t give you the performance or the efficiency needed to keep your home warm and your energy bills low. As you decide what to do with your furnace, consider these three main factors before you repair or replace your unit. ## 1. Your Furnace’s Age or Condition Your furnace’s age and condition are two of the most important factors to consider when choosing between a repair or replacement. Typically, a furnace [lasts around 15 years](https://www.bonney.com/2021/11/6-signs-you-need-furnace-replacement/) before it breaks down or starts to not provide efficient heating. If your furnace is near that fifteen-year mark or over, you probably need to replace it. However, a repair is usually the more cost-effective option if the furnace was installed in the past decade. Besides your furnace’s age, you’ll also want to consider its condition. A poorly maintained furnace can break down before the fifteen-year mark and struggle to properly heat your home. If an HVAC technician’s inspection reveals your unit has multiple issues and worn-down parts, you’ll likely want to replace the unit instead of trying to continue to fix an irreparably damaged unit. When you do replace your unit, make sure to [sign up for regular furnace tune-ups](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/) to extend the unit’s life and maintain its performance. ## 2. Your Heating Bills Keep Going Up While your heating bills will likely fluctuate yearly, you may want to consider a replacement if your bills continue to rise for no reason. When you notice a major difference in your heating bills, you may have a furnace that’s running inefficiently and consuming more energy than it should. As a result, you’ll want to have an HVAC technician inspect your furnace to see if it’s the source of your issue. Once the inspection is completed and the technician has identified the source of the issue, you’ll need to decide between a repair or replacement. If the repairs cost less than half of a replacement and the unit is under 15 years old, it’s likely cost-effective to repair the unit. However, if the unit is old and the repair costs would be high, your furnace is likely near the end of its life, meaning a replacement will usually be the best approach to lower your energy costs. ## 3. The Cost of Repairing or Replacing Your Furnace Before you repair your furnace, it’s a good idea to see how much the repair costs. While minor damage typically comes with lower costs, a major repair can end up costing a significant amount of money. When your estimated repair cost exceeds half of the cost to replace the unit, you should probably replace the unit instead of repairing it. A repair that costs more than half of what you’d spend to replace your unit often indicates your furnace is old or in poor condition, meaning you’ll likely need to pay for another repair soon. Since multiple repairs will add up, continuing to repair a malfunctioning or aging furnace can end up costing you more than just replacing the unit. Plus, by replacing your furnace with a new, more efficient model, you’ll likely save money on energy expenses and receive better heating performance. ## Choose Bonney for Furnace Repair and Replacement Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for furnace repair or replacement services near you in Sacramento, Bonney is here to help.

With a few maintenance tips and furnace services, you can guard your furnace against needing unexpected repairs at the worst time possible. As you try to keep your furnace in great condition, check out our top six furnace maintenance tips. ## 1. Swap Your Furnace’s Air Filters If you haven’t swapped out your furnace air filter recently (within the last one to three months, depending on your filter), it probably needs to be changed. A furnace filter is responsible for catching pollen, dust, and other contaminants from circulating throughout your home. As it stops these contaminants, they’ll start to build up on the filter, causing it to clog and not let air pass through efficiently. When air can’t pass through efficiently, your furnace will use up more energy, [raise your energy bills](https://www.bonney.com/2018/01/reasons-to-replace-furnace-filters/), and provide uneven heating. Fortunately, it’s easy to swap out a filter. Just make sure an HVAC technician replaces it with a filter compatible with your furnace and that you continue to swap out the filter for a new one at the filter manufacturer’s recommended intervals. ## 2. Regular System Cleaning Cleaning the furnace is one of the most overlooked furnace maintenance practices. Since dirt and debris on your furnace will only continue to get worse, it can affect the performance of your furnace and raise the chances a part breaks. Typically, it’s best to hire an HVAC technician to clean your furnace, as they’ll know how to clean more difficult-to-reach areas and can even inspect your furnace during the cleaning to see if there’s anything that needs to be fixed. ## 3. Inspect Your Thermostat Sometimes, a [faulty thermostat](https://www.bonney.com/2021/12/4-common-furnace-problems-and-their-repairs/) can be the reason behind a malfunctioning furnace, as the thermostat is responsible for telling your furnace to heat your home. Before the winter, it’s a good idea to check that your thermostat is properly connected to a power source or has enough battery power. You can also have an HVAC technician determine if it is calibrated correctly and clean out any dirt that might cause it to malfunction and harm your furnace’s performance. ## 4. Clean Any Drain Lines Your furnace’s drain lines direct moisture away from the unit to keep it dry. If these lines aren’t moving water away from your furnace, debris can build up in your unit and then spread throughout your home. An uncleaned drain line can start to clog and cause the furnace to get wet, so furnace maintenance usually includes drain line cleaning. One clear sign that your drain lines need cleaning is if you can see blockages at either end of the line. You can clean these types of blockages out with a small brush or rag, but for more extensive blockages, you’ll want to call an HVAC technician to clean out your lines safely. During their drain line cleaning appointment, they can also clean the interior of the lines and flush them out to prevent future clogs. ## 5. Clean Your Vent Covers and Remove Any Obstructions As your furnace distributes air throughout your home, it will push the air through your ductwork and out your vents. When vents are clogged or closed, the air won’t be able to enter your home, leading to uneven heating. It is okay to wipe down the registers for excess debris, as dust and debris can accumulate outside of your vents as air passes through. Besides cleaning your registers, make sure any furniture is at least 18 inches away from your vents, as furniture too close to the vents can prevent proper airflow. ## 6. Hire an HVAC Technician to Inspect Your Furnace While you can catch some issues on your own, a good furnace maintenance plan will include an annual inspection from an HVAC technician. Typically, it’s best practice to have an HVAC technician [perform a comprehensive inspection](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/) of your furnace before the winter begins. With a full inspection from a qualified professional, you’ll know exactly what condition your furnace is in and know if you need to take action to fix an issue before it can cause a system failure. ## Choose Bonney for Furnace Maintenance Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for furnace services near you in Sacramento, turn to Bonney.

When the pilot light isn’t working, it won’t generate a small blue flame and will cause your furnace to stop heating your home. Since a number of reasons can cause a pilot light to go out or malfunction, it’s important to understand the four most common pilot light problems and how to solve them. ## Why Is My Pilot Light Out? A pilot light that goes out can be caused by several issues, with these problems ranging in severity. For example, a pilot light can go out because of a draft of air, but it could also be because its thermocouple has stopped working. As a result, pilot light solutions will vary based on the original issue and its complexity. ## 4 Furnace Pilot Light Problems and Their Solutions Since furnace pilot lights can go out for different reasons, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with their main problems so you can know what to do when they occur. It’s also important to know that even if your pilot light is on, it can sometimes need maintenance, such as when it produces a yellow or orange flame instead of a blue one. Take a moment to learn more about the top four furnace pilot light problems and their solutions: ## 1. A Draft of Air Has Blown It Out One of the most common reasons for a pilot light going out is a draft of air. When your home isn’t properly insulated, or you have an air source near your furnace, gusts of air can blow out the pilot light. Typically, you can fix this issue by following the instructions in your furnace’s owner’s manual about how to relight the pilot light safely. While many homeowners can relight their furnace’s pilot light on their own, you’ll want to [consult a professional HVAC professional](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) if the light continues to blow out. You may have an issue with your system, or you could need to add more insulation to your home. Whatever the reason your pilot keeps going out, a professional technician can help prevent this issue from reoccurring. ## 2. Your Intake Valve Is Dirty Another common problem pilot lights face is dirt build-up on the gas intake valve. When this intake valve isn’t regularly cleaned, dirt will often accumulate over the valve and restrict your pilot light’s oxygen supply. Since the pilot light needs oxygen to ignite and remain hot enough, the intake valve needs to stay clean. Fortunately, a dirty intake valve is usually a quick fix. A trained HVAC technician can safely clean the intake valve and ensure your furnace light is working properly. To avoid a dirty intake valve in the future, you can also sign up for an [annual furnace inspection and cleaning](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) from an HVAC professional. ## 3. Your Thermocouple Is Broken or Has Malfunctioned If your pilot light went out and it’s not an issue with a gust of air or a dirty intake valve, you may have a more complicated problem on your hands. Your pilot light’s thermocouple is a safety device that detects if your flame is burning correctly. When the thermocouple senses that there’s no flame or that the flame isn’t hot enough, it will turn off your pilot light’s gas supply to prevent gas leaks. Since thermocouples are essential to your furnace’s safety, a malfunctioning one will cause your pilot light to go out. Some of the most common[ reasons for a malfunctioning thermocouple](https://www.bonney.com/2022/12/why-is-my-pilot-light-out-furnace-repair-insight/) include: - The thermocouple is dirty and can’t sense the flame properly - The thermocouple has slipped out of place - The thermocouple is bent or damaged in some other way No matter the cause of a malfunctioning thermocouple, you’ll need professional help to fix it safely. An HVAC technician can help diagnose the reason behind the malfunctioning thermocouple and provide the necessary [furnace repairs](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-repair/). They may also replace the thermocouple if it’s past the point of repair. ## 4. Your Pilot Light Isn’t Producing a Hot Enough Flame When your thermocouple is working properly, it may shut off your pilot light when it’s not hot enough. One way you can tell if your flame isn’t producing enough heat is if the flame is yellow or orange instead of blue. Typically, an orange or yellow flame means your pilot light doesn’t have enough oxygen. A flame that routinely has an orange or yellow flame can also be a safety risk, as it can mean your furnace is releasing carbon monoxide into your home. Since fixing a pilot light that’s not getting hot enough can require a complicated solution, contact a professional HVAC technician to inspect it and make a repair. If they find that your furnace is releasing carbon monoxide or poses a health risk, you may also want to upgrade to a [new electric furnace](https://www.bonney.com/heating/heating-installation/) for greater safety and energy efficiency. ## Choose Bonney for Furnace Repair Services in Sacramento If your pilot light went out and you’re looking for furnace repair services near you in Sacramento, Bonney has you covered.

It can be as simple as changing the filter or cleaning the coils. But when the issue is much more complex, you need the knowledge of a professional to service the unit. In this article, we’ll cover five of the most common heating issues that require the skills of a professional to repair. As tempting as it may be, It is always recommended to seek help from a licensed HVAC technician. Unless otherwise noted, we don’t recommend attempting the repairs below on your own. ## 1. Dirty or Ill-fitting Air Filter A dirty or ill-fitting air filter can be a major culprit that causes a HVAC System to run down. Homeowners should routinely change their home air filter at least every six months. If you notice after changing the filter that the system is still working harder than it should, reach out to a professional for their insight and diagnosis. ## 2. Thermostat Stops Working If your thermostat suddenly stops working, you may be able to resolve the issue by simply replacing the battery. Once the new battery is in and the thermostat still won’t work, it’s time to make a service call. ## 3. Dirty Coils Dirt and debris slipping into the unit will clog it, and the system won’t work as intended. When the system isn’t heating your home efficiently and your [coils are dirty](https://www.bonney.com/2021/07/4-ac-issues-repairs/), it’s time for a professional cleaning. Each component of the unit will receive the attention it needs, and the coils and filters will be inspected. ## 4. Blower Won’t Stop Running If the fan switch on the thermostat is in the “Off” position, but the blower continues to run, there could be several reasons the unit won’t shut down. The relay may have gotten stuck, preventing the system from turning off. Or one of the safety sensors inside the unit may be damaged. When this happens, the unit won’t shut off. To figure out what’s causing the blower motor to stay on, you’ll need a trained service technician to diagnose the problem. ## 5. Noisy Furnace It’s common for you to hear noises coming from the furnace. But, when there’s a sound you’ve never heard before, like squealing or a whining motor, a mechanical problem is probably causing your furnace issues. It may be the blower motor or the inducer motor could have a loose bearing. The solution is to have a new motor installed. Other noises could point to issues with the burners or airflow. Whatever these sounds are, pay attention and have the [system inspected by a professional](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/) to ensure nothing has failed inside the unit. ## Choose Bonney for HVAC Repairs Near You in Sacramento If you think you might have any of the issues listed above and are looking for heating and HVAC repair services near you in Sacramento or [the surrounding areas](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-service-areas/), turn to Bonney.

In the Sacramento region, where temperatures vary widely, you’re likely to run your HVAC almost daily, whether for cooling in summer or heating in winter. As one of the most significant investments in your home, keeping it in optimal condition can help avoid costly repairs and ensure efficient operation. ### **Know the Age of Your HVAC System** One of the first things to consider is the age of your HVAC system. If it’s over ten years old, you may want to start thinking about a replacement. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, HVAC systems generally last between 10 and 15 years, after which their components begin to wear down and become less efficient. Keeping an eye on the age of your system can help you plan for future upgrades before an unexpected breakdown occurs. ![Energy Efficient AC Unit](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/energy-efficient-hvac-unit.jpg) ### **Keep Your HVAC Unit Clean** Regular cleaning is essential to prevent dust and debris from clogging the system. When components become blocked, the unit must work harder to regulate your home’s temperature, which can lead to overheating and accelerated wear. Ensure that the area around your HVAC unit is clear of obstructions, and consider professional cleaning services to keep internal components functioning optimally. ### **Watch for Unusual Spikes in Energy Bills** A sudden increase in your monthly energy bill, aside from rate hikes, may indicate an issue with your HVAC system. This could result from inefficiencies caused by worn-out components, clogged filters, or other problems requiring attention. If you notice a consistent rise in energy usage without a corresponding increase in household activity, it might be time for an inspection. ### **Notice Uneven Temperatures in Your Home** If some rooms or areas of your home feel warmer or cooler than others, this could signal a problem. Uneven temperatures can result from a variety of issues, from a faulty thermostat to a more serious problem within an aging system. Addressing these issues early can often prevent larger problems down the line. Bonney’s trusted technicians can diagnose the cause and recommend solutions to restore balanced comfort throughout your home. ### **Pay Attention to Constantly Running or Cycling Systems** During especially hot summers, it’s normal for your air conditioner to run frequently. However, if it never seems to shut off, this could indicate the system is struggling to meet the thermostat setting. This might be due to a dirty or faulty sensor or even an aging unit that’s no longer up to the task. Conversely, if your system frequently turns on and off (a process called short cycling), this too could be a sign of trouble and should be inspected. ### **Listen for Unusual Noises** While it’s normal to hear your HVAC system activate, strange noises like clanking, rattling, or banging could mean there are loose or damaged parts inside. Ignoring these sounds can lead to more severe damage over time. A Bonney-certified technician can quickly identify the source of the noise and provide the necessary repairs to restore quiet operation. ### **Be Aware of Unusual Odors** Odd smells, such as a musty or moldy odor, can be a sign that your system is nearing failure or needs maintenance. These smells might indicate mold or mildew buildup, which can affect air quality and harm your health. ### **Consider Replacement Over Expensive Repairs** If you find yourself repeatedly paying for HVAC repairs, it may be time to consider a replacement. As a general rule, avoid spending more than half the cost of a new system on repairs for your existing unit. A new HVAC system, though a significant investment, may save you money over time by improving efficiency and reducing repair costs. Bonney’s team of trusted, certified technicians is here to help with all your HVAC needs. Whether it’s maintaining, repairing, or replacing your system, we offer industry-leading warranties to protect your investment and keep your home comfortable year-round.

As temperatures drop, many homeowners retreat inside, leaving these outdoor spaces forgotten. With the right setup, you can transform your patio into a cozy retreat that can be enjoyed year round. From adding heat sources to creating a warm ambiance, here are some essential tips for keeping your outdoor space inviting even on the chilliest days. ### **Add an Efficient Heating Solution** To comfortably enjoy your outdoor space throughout the year, investing in an efficient heating solution is a must. Electric heaters, whether wall-mounted or installed on the ceiling, provide a convenient way to bring warmth to your patio. These heaters come in various styles and can be easily integrated into your space without taking up valuable floor space. Ceiling and wall-mounted electric heaters are ideal for outdoor areas because they distribute heat evenly across the space, ensuring everyone stays warm. With options ranging from infrared to radiant heaters, you can select a system that suits both your aesthetic preferences and heating needs. Additionally, electric heaters are energy-efficient and easy to operate, making them a practical choice for maintaining a warm atmosphere during those chilly months. . ### **Incorporate Cozy Furnishings** A comfortable seating area is the foundation of a welcoming outdoor space. Look for weather-resistant furniture that provides adequate support and comfort, then add plenty of soft furnishings like cushions, blankets, and throws to make it feel more inviting. Choose fabrics that can withstand the elements but are soft and cozy for chilly evenings. Blankets made from wool or fleece are excellent options for keeping warm, and outdoor cushions with foam can add both warmth and comfort for you and your guests. ### **Install Windbreaks or Outdoor Curtains** Wind can quickly steal away warmth, so adding a type of windbreak can make a big difference. Outdoor curtains, screens, or even a row of tall plants can act as barriers against chilly gusts, helping to maintain warmth in your outdoor entertaining area. Curtains can also provide an extra layer of privacy and are available in a variety of styles and materials to match your patio decor. For a more permanent solution, consider installing glass or plexiglass screens, which allow you to enjoy the view while staying shielded from the elements. ### **Create Ambiance with Lighting** Warm lighting can help create a cozy atmosphere outdoors. String lights, lanterns, and candles all add a soft glow that enhances the overall warmth of the space. Consider hanging string lights overhead or placing lanterns around the seating area to cast a gentle, inviting light. You might also consider solar-powered lights or LED options for an energy-efficient way to illuminate your space. Adding a fire pit or outdoor fireplace can further enhance the ambiance while providing an additional source of heat. ### **Bring in Weather-Resistant Rugs and Accessories** Rugs can do wonders for both comfort and style. A large, weather-resistant rug can help define your patio space and add an extra layer of insulation against the cold ground. Look for rugs specifically designed for outdoor use, as they are durable and can withstand exposure to the elements. Other accessories like outdoor pillows and poufs can help create a comfortable and stylish setting where guests feel at home. ### **Protect Your Space from Rain and Snow** To keep your outdoor space usable even in wet weather, consider installing a pergola, awning, or patio cover. These structures provide shelter from rain and snow, making it possible to enjoy your patio no matter the season. Many options are available, from retractable awnings that you can pull out when needed to permanent covers that provide year-round protection. By keeping your space dry, you’ll be able to use your patio more frequently and extend its functionality. ### **Stay Warm and Cozy with Bonney’s Heating Solutions** Creating a warm and welcoming outdoor space is achievable with the right combination of heating, furnishings, and weatherproofing elements. Whether you want to install a ceiling or wall-mounted electric heater or need help setting up other outdoor comforts, Bonney’s team of professionals is here to help. We offer expert installation services for electric heating solutions in Sacramento, ensuring your patio remains a cozy retreat no matter the season.

What is that? Well, it all boils down to some of the creature comforts we take for granted: keeping our homes warm in the winter and cool in the summer. That’s basically what home performance is all about. It’s not just about efficiency, although that is a major benefit. It’s also about making our home comfortable in every room, on every floor all the time. In a perfect world no room would be drafty, warmer or cooler than the other rooms, have bad air quality, too much or too little humidity…..it would be perfect, right? Impossible you say? Not anymore. Even in homes which are older, such as the balloon frame Victorian style homes built a hundred years ago we are able to now change the performance or comfort of that home by implementing some proven, modern building science measures such as air sealing the floors, ceiling assemblies, walls and windows. By creating an air tight building assembly and then properly insulating that assembly we can create a close to perfect living environment in your home. This would also entail modifications and changes to the existing heating and cooling equipment that is presently installed and possibly changing out the windows as well. Sound expensive? Well, for less money than a new kitchen remodel or new landscaping, in many cases you can completely transform the way your home feels. Our home is our castle, but it doesn’t have to feel like one. In an age where keeping up with the Joneses now means having a 3D flat screen television in every room why not consider “one-upping” your neighbor in another way-not by an exterior remodel, but by completely renovating the comfort level of your home. So while Mr Jones is peering out his castle wrapped in three layers of clothing because his house is so cold and drafty, he can see you enjoying your home Hawaiian style in the middle of winter: all because of your decision to improve your home’s performance. Any of this pique your interest? Well the good folks at Bonney Plumbing, Heating and Air are experts at Home Performance. Their friendly, BPI Certified Home Performance Analyst will be happy to conduct an analysis of your home’s comfort performance and develop a plan with you to completely change your cold, damp, drafty castle into a modern wonder of comfort and livability.

Luckily this is one home appliance that is actually very aptly named. It’s a water heater minus the tank. The physics of tankless water heater operation are relatively simple. Cold water flows into the unit and a gas burner or an electric heating element warms the water before it passes out of the tankless water heater and into your home. Because of the fast nature of the heating method and the limitless input you can rest easy knowing your home will never again run out of hot water. From a homeowner’s perspective, tankless water heaters offer an array of advantages. One of the most obvious of which is you don’t have a huge tank taking up space in your laundry room or garage. Tankless water heaters are wall mounted and don’t take up an excessive amount of space, making them easier to place and less in the way. Most importantly though, are the many performance and efficiency benefits you can enjoy with a tankless water heater. Although they are more expensive at the outset than getting a new traditional water heater, you’ll likely end up ahead, in the long run, thanks to several factors that make tankless water heaters more cost-effective to operate. Traditional water heaters are designed to ensure your home always has an available supply of hot water, which it heats and stores in the tank. Because the water heater isn’t programmed to know when you’re going to need hot water it is constantly keeping the water heated using energy you’re always paying for, even though you are likely only needing hot water a fraction of the time you’re in your home. Tankless water heaters eliminate the wasted energy costs associated with traditional water heaters because they only operate when someone in the home turns on a hot water faucet. The rest of the time it just sits there dormant using no energy. If your household’s hot water demands are about 41 gallons or less per day you can expect to save about 24 – 34% on your energy bills. In fact, ENERGY STAR® estimates the average family who installs a tankless water heater save approximately $100 a year, and potentially more depending on the energy source and the household’s water usage habits.1 Tankless Water Heater Installation and Repair Bonney Plumbing installs both electric and gas tankless water heaters in addition to traditional tank water heaters.

A house that isn’t adequately sealed will make your HVAC system work harder to cool or heat your home and significantly reduce your comfort. Instead of living with high energy bills and uncomfortable indoor drafts, learn more about home sealing services and the four main signs you need them. ## What Are Home Sealing Services? We all know what insulation replacement is, but what about home sealing? Home sealing is an HVAC service that eliminates air leakage from your home by repairing any cracks, gaps, and holes in your insulation. A home sealing expert will inspect your house to find areas where air can escape and then take action to eliminate any openings to the outdoors. Since home sealing services will eliminate holes or gaps in your home, they [provide several benefits](https://www.bonney.com/2022/12/5-benefits-insulation-home-sealing/). Some of the top advantages of these services include reduced energy bills and more consistent indoor temperatures. Home sealing also prevents moisture, eliminates indoor drafts, and lowers the risk of rodent infestations, leading to greater indoor comfort and a safer home. ## The Top 4 Signs You Need Home Sealing and Insulation Services Due to the many benefits of home sealing services, it’s essential to know when they might be required. Learn more about the four primary signs that you need sealing and insulation services below: ### 1. Your Home’s Temperature Fluctuates Consistently When your home never seems to stay at the temperature you set your thermostat, an air leak might be the cause. Since ineffective insulation allows air to escape and makes it so your home isn’t sealed off from the outside temperatures, they can cause temperature fluctuations. For example, your home may struggle to stay cool in the summer if your home is allowing cold air to leak out and hot summer air to leak in. ### 2. Rooms in Your Home Feel Drafty You shouldn’t feel drafts of air in your home unless you’ve purposely left a window or door open. If you notice drafts of air around your home, there’s a good chance it needs to be better sealed to prevent outside air from getting inside your home. You’ll also want to look out for drafts around your crawlspace or attic, as these areas tend to be vulnerable to wind drafts. ### 3. Your Energy Bills Have Risen Unexpectedly While rising energy bills can signal other issues with your home or HVAC system, they can be a sign your home isn’t adequately sealed. Essentially, when your home has insulation gaps that allow air to leak out, your HVAC system will run longer to cool or heat your home, leading to increased energy usage and higher utility bills. By replacing the insulation, your HVAC system won’t have to run as long and use as much energy to keep your home at your desired temperature. ### 4. You See More Pests Around Your Home A crack or gap in insulation is practically an open invitation to critters. A home that isn’t adequately sealed will often deal with more pests, as insects and small rodents will sneak through cracks and create nests throughout your house. While traps and sprays can help reduce the number of critters, they won’t ever entirely stop them. In contrast, home insulation and sealing services will plug up access points to prevent pests from getting inside in the first place. ## What to Do If You Notice Any of the Above Signs If you’re experiencing any of the above signs, [contact an HVAC company](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) for insulation services near you. After contacting a trusted HVAC company, they should thoroughly inspect your home to look for air leaks. Even if they can’t find an air leak, their inspection should reveal the cause of whatever issue you’re experiencing. ## Choose Bonney for Home Sealing Service Near You If you’re interested in receiving home insulation service near you in Sacramento, turn to Bonney.

But, if you don’t have an energy-efficient HVAC system, you’ll end up spending loads and loads of money just to maintain a suitable level of comfort indoors. There are multiple factors that go into making an HVAC system more efficient. Just a few tiny tweaks and changes to the system you currently have will keep your energy bills manageable. Let’s take a look at the top five ways you can ensure you have an energy-efficient AC unit. ## 1. Replace the Old Unit If you have an AC unit past the 10-to-15-year mark, it’s time for an [upgrade](https://www.bonney.com/2018/07/upgrade-ac-unit-increase-energy-efficiency/). Installing a new energy-efficient AC system will save you a significant amount of money over time. Even if the older system is working well, it is undoubtedly costing you much more money to keep it running than a newer, more energy-efficient model would. But, before you go out and choose the units to have a professional install, you need to understand the Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio or SEER. This efficiency measurement system is designed to help you distinguish between different levels of efficiency. A trained AC professional can help you select a new model with the best SEER rating for your needs and [install it for you](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/). ## 2. Insulate Your Home When it comes to home energy efficiency, while the HVAC unit plays a huge part, so does [insulation](https://www.bonney.com/2023/05/4-signs-need-home-sealing-insulation/). If your home is not well insulated, air escapes causing the unit to work two, three, four, or even five times as hard to heat or cool your home. If you already have an energy-efficient HVAC unit, but your energy bills haven’t decreased, you may need the insulation in your home replaced. If the insulation isn’t the problem, then you may need to have the ducts resealed. The bottom line? Make sure the indoor air is staying exactly where it should be — indoors. ## 3. Keep the Unit Dust and Debris Free Dirty filters trap dust and debris that clog the airflow and cause the unit to work harder than it should. This ability for dust to clog your unit doesn’t just apply to the air filters, which should be changed regularly. It can also affect your vents’ performance. For example, If you keep your vents closed, dust gets trapped and the airflow is compromised. Keep the vents clean and free of obstructions. Since items like furniture or curtains can block the vents, you’ll also want to ensure no items aren’t preventing air from escaping your vents. Alongside ensuring your air filters are clean and the vents clear, you can protect your outdoor unit by trimming the plants near it so their growth doesn’t create unwanted moisture inside or on the unit. Don’t allow foliage to get too close to it, and make sure there’s nothing growing under the unit. You can also save energy and money with [HVAC maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/), as cleaning dust and debris from your unit will often be included in an AC tune-up. ## 4. Keep an Eye on the Thermostat Check the temperature on the [thermostat](https://www.bonney.com/2023/05/4-signs-need-home-sealing-insulation/), and if there’s a huge difference between it and the outdoor temperature, your HVAC unit will be overworked. Whether it’s heating or cooling the home, watch the thermostat to make sure the internal temperature is not dipping too low. Keep life convenient and [install a programmable thermostat](https://www.bonney.com/2021/04/9-tips-for-ac-cost-savings/) that will automatically change and adjust the temperature without you having to keep a constant eye on it. ## 5. Keep the Drain Line Clear Something else you can do to keep the HVAC system running at optimal efficiency is to keep the drain line clear of any dirt buildup. If the [drain line becomes clogged](https://www.bonney.com/2021/07/4-ac-issues-repairs/), there will likely be a backup of water that causes your space to feel humid and muggy. The moisture can lead to mold, mildew, and rust. The overflow of water can also damage your drywall and floors. Solutions for each of these issues are much more costly than it would be to keep the drain line clean and clear. With regular AC maintenance, you can cut down on the chance of drain line clogs and other issues that reduce a system’s energy efficiency. ## Choose Bonney for HVAC Upgrades in Sacramento If you’re looking for HVAC upgrades near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, turn to Bonney.

Sure, we have had some sporadic warm days here and there, but we are talking about the time when that AC unit goes on and stays on until those triple digits descend into more tolerable levels. Something that may not have crossed your mind for summer preparation is the potential issues that your air conditioning unit may face this summer. Did you experience any issues last summer? Maybe your unit held out until the end and you promised yourself to get it looked at next summer. Or is it possible that you noticed your house wasn’t getting as cool as it used to. Maybe you heard your HVAC unit cycling on and off frequently, but it didn’t bother you at the time. These secondary problems are concerns you should take into consideration before the real heat wave hits! Air Conditioning units work the hardest on the hottest days of the year. These hot days create the biggest load on your system, so that is when you will most likely experience problems or serious breakdowns. Below are some common issues that can arise with your air conditioning unit and what you need to know on repair versus replacement. **Your HVAC system won’t turn on** Sometimes, you’ll hit the button on your thermostat and you don’t hear that familiar kick on of the system starting up. This could be due to a number of reasons. One of these is that this is the first time you are turning on the AC for the year. Verify that the thermostat is set to the cooling position. Also ensure that your thermostat is not broken. If these two steps check out, the next item to check is that your unit is receiving power. If your unit is receiving power properly, then your next move is to call a certified Bonney HVAC technician. **Your AC unit is blowing warm air** You’re ready for that cool air to start blowing, but all you feel is warm. You wait 15, 20, 30 minutes and still there is no change! One possible reason for this is that your system has dirty air filters. Your AC unit may be producing cold air, but it cannot get through the ductwork to cool your house. If your filters are clean, check the areas surrounding your unit outside and ensure there are no leaves or other obstructions blocking the airflow. Once all the debris is moved away and your unit is still blowing warm air then it may be due to a refrigerant problem. This would be the time to call our professional HVAC technicians because they are licensed to replenish coolant. **Your air conditioning unit cycles frequently** Does your air conditioner turn on and off so frequently that you forget when the last normal cycle was? Your system could have a dirty condenser unit evaporator. Sometimes, you can clean the unit and clear any obstructions that may be blocking the unit, which will allow the system to go back to cycling properly. Other times, you may have no obstructions but your unit still cycles more than normal. This could be due to an improperly sized unit. If your system is too large for your home then, it will quickly reach what the setting on your thermostat says and then signal to shut off. Once the temperature changes from the setting, the system will kick back on again. Another occurrence of continuous cycling could be that an air register is pointed directly at the thermostat and blowing cool air onto it, tricking the thermostat into “thinking” the house is cooler than it actually is. If you’re having a problem with continuous cycling, call our professional HVAC technicians to see how we can help you. **Your system is making loud noises** Maybe you turned on your system for the first time this season and hear vibration and loud rattling. This could mean that your unit was installed incorrectly or be having major problems and should definitely be looked at by a trained technician. Another sound you may hear is squeaking; this could be due to the air handler in your system. Systems that are older may have belt-driven air handlers and can slip from the motor, which results in the squeaking noise. If this is the case, the first step is to shut down your system and then call a Bonney professional to come and diagnose the situation. These are some of the most common issues that can occur with your air conditioning unit. Tuning up your system before the real hot temperatures hit will save you from any uncomfortable days and help you avoid future costly repairs. Call our home services experts at Bonney today to get your system running smoothly. ***Right now we are offering a $59 heating and air tune up special, find it on our offers page [here](https://www.bonney.com/coupons-and-specials/).

By the end of summer your air conditioning unit has logged hundreds of hours pumping out cool air to your home. It may be tuckered out! Your A/C unit deserves some expert attention as summer winds down and fall looms. Get an end of summer maintenance check on your air conditioning system from Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air. As summer winds down, now is the perfect time to get a thorough check of your air conditioner to ensure your system will operate at peak performance next spring. Many homeowners can take care of some basic A/C maintenance, such as changing the air filter, but other maintenance steps might require a Certified Premiere Bonney HVAC technician. For instance, the condensate pan that collects evaporation from your systems cooling process should be cleaned out. Also the drain line should be cleared. Evaporator coils, condenser units and fans are all vital components in the cooling of your home. After a long hot summer, they can become dirty depending on how much you used your air conditioning system. It’s important to clean the coils, wipe down the fins and make sure the outside unit has not become blocked by debris or overgrown shrubs and trees.

At Bonney we care about the Sacramento community and the people who live in it. Because…community is people! A member of our community, Jami, needed a second opinion on an air conditioner repair. It had very little air flow and was not cooling her home efficiently. Her electricity bills were through the roof, but she wasn’t getting any relief from the heat. At first, she called her home warranty company and they had one of their contracted HVAC companies inspect her air-conditioning system. Unfortunately, the A/C technician said she needed a lot of repair work done. He also tersely told her, in no uncertain terms, the repairs were not covered by her home warranty. The estimate for repairs seemed very high to Jami and her dad, who was helping to oversee the repair work. Jami’s dad told her to call Bonney Plumbing Heating and Air for a second opinion. Father knows best, right? That’s when Kirk E., one of our Bonney Certified Premier technicians, came out to inspect her air conditioning system. Kirk was, as Jami put it, “Professional, courteous, and explained everything that was wrong with the air conditioner”. Kirk found plenty of problems with the air conditioner; a very dirty evaporator coil, a very dirty outdoor coil, and a dirty blower wheel. The blower motor was actually leaking oil. Kirk discounted everything to a much lower cost for Jami and they set up an appointment for a few days later. Jami was asking when they’d get all the A/C repairs work done and that’s when she revealed to Kirk she was suffering from cancer and was scheduled for an operation. She told Kirk she was suffering from night sweats and hot flashes due to past chemotherapy sessions. Jami was scheduled for surgery in a couple weeks and just wanted to rest and recuperate without having to worry about the uncomfortable conditions due to an inefficient air conditioner. Kirk has been trained that when you hear something, and it touches your heart, you need to listen. Listen he did, Kirk informed Bonney’s management team of Jami’s plight. The Bonney Team huddled together and came up with a compassionate solution; replace her old worn out air conditioner with a new unit. The Bonney Team waived all installation costs, too. When the Bonney Team drove out to Jami’s home to tell her the good news about her air conditioner, she said, “What’s the catch?” There was no catch, only concern. Bonney tech Kirk E. noted, “Once we informed her we would replace the old A/C unit, I could see the anxiety leave her body”. Jami seemed a bit overwhelmed by the generosity. She said, “I was at a loss for words and cried out of sheer amazement”. She gave the Bonney Team big hugs and seemed to be in a state of disbelief. Jami added, “I realize how truly blessed I am to have called such an awesome company which actually cares about the people and its community. I am so ecstatic that after I come home from my surgery I will not have to be in an uncomfortable house on bed rest thanks to all the awesome people at Bonney” “So shines a good deed in a weary world” -Willie Wonka --- Jami’s Yelp review: 9/9/2016 I am so blessed that Bonney helped me out with replacing my entire unit and enlarged my return duct for me at no cost, after I had just bought my first home only to find out the A/C was leaking quite abut of oil after having 3 months of electric bills over $300 which were a result of the A/C running nonstop and never cooling the house down and turning off! After calls to my Home warranty company and them sending out one of their contracted HVAC companies (the technician was EXTREMELY BELITTLING & RUDE to sugar coat it) and told me they won’t cover it with the warranty and to not bother fighting it and gave us a RIDICULOUS estimate. My dad told me call Bonney for a second opinion since he was going to be the one helping me get this repaired as I am a divorced/single mom with 3 kids and I was headed to surgery in a couple weeks and would be in bed rest to recover (can’t just lay in the heat for that I had so much chemo in the past couple years I am like hot flashing when others are comfortable)…so I called Bonney and they sent out Kirk the next day. REALLY SUPER NICE guy even my dog wanted to watch him instead of hide under the bed like he usually does when it’s someone he doesn’t know lol He was profession, courteous, explained everything and even went above and beyond in calling his boss to get a good price and waived the Consult fee! He talked to my dad on the phone explained everything and said they could come out that following Monday (4 days later). As if that wasn’t awesome enough… Wait there is more. You could only imagine how it surprised me to get a call from Kirk the very next day asking if I would be home that afternoon his boss wanted to speak with me. So I pulled up to see two Bonney trucks and 6 guys in my yard at first I was a little worried but I got out to see what was going on. You can’t even begin to imagine my surprise and shock when the big boss told me they wanted to replace my entire A/C Unit with a unit they have in their warehouse AT NO COST I Was at a loss for word and cried out of sheer amazement. I asked “why” and all he said was we want you to be comfortable and we know that you won’t win the battle with your home warranty company and this could potentially cause your house to catch fire and we don’t want that.Not only was I amazed but I realized how truly blessed I am to have called such an awesome company which actually cares about the people and it’s community. It made me see there are still people and companies out there that genuinely care about other people. I am so ecstatic that after I come home from my surgery next week I will not have to be sitting in a hot uncomfortable house on bed rest thanks to all the Awesome People at Bonney ![Josh Tyack HVAC Manager Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JOSH-TYACK.jpg) [Josh Tyack](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/joshtyack/) Josh Tyack is the manager of the HVAC repair team at Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, Electrical, Heating & Air.

As the leaves drop and cold temperatures creep in, homeowners start thinking about winterizing their homes. But what about [winterizing your air conditioner](https://www.bonney.com/2021/10/4-ac-steps/)? How do rain, cold, dirt, and debris affect your outdoor AC unit? And, most important, should you cover an AC in winter? Knowing the answers to these questions can help you prepare your AC unit for the cold and decide if an air conditioner cover for winter is worth the investment. ## How Do Winter Conditions Affect Outdoor AC Units? AC units were built to withstand the rain and cold of the winter. All external HVAC equipment is made to deal with harsh weather conditions and varying temperature extremes. In short, outdoor AC units are tough! Plus, Sacramento isn’t known for harsh winter weather conditions. For example, we don’t get a foot of snow or baseball-sized hail like they do in the Midwestern states. Even in tougher conditions, rain, hail, sleet, and snow are no match for an AC unit. They’re more reliable than the mailman! Despite this fact, covering your outdoor AC unit during the fall and winter months has been the subject of debate in the HVAC industry for many years. You can read on or watch our video below to explore the pros and cons of covering your AC unit. ## Is It Good to Cover Your Air Conditioner in the Winter? Though air conditioners are very durable, you might still be wondering, “Should you cover an AC in winter?” Before you make a decision, it’s important you know the benefits and disadvantages of AC covers. Learn more about if you should cover your AC in the winter by reviewing the top pros and cons below: ### Cons of Covering Outdoor AC Unit for Winter Since AC units tend to withstand winter conditions with ease, it might come as no surprise that AC covers might be more trouble than they’re worth. Check out the following disadvantages of air conditioner covers below: - **Increased risk of rust:** When you cover your entire unit, it can trap moisture in the system by creating a high-humidity environment that may cause rust and corrosion. Since your electrical wiring, wiring connections, and, in some cases, circuit boards don’t do well with moisture, a high-humidity environment can be a serious problem. This increased risk of rust and damage to internal components is a serious drawback to AC covers. - **Mold risk:** Your air conditioner is made to be open to the air. Covering your air conditioner will block proper airflow, which can lead to mold growth on your evaporator coils. This mold can block proper airflow through your coils and decrease your air conditioner’s efficiency. - **Critter invasion:** Rodents and other animals seek shelter from harsh winters and will often start to inhabit a covered air conditioner. A rodent infestation can lead to multiple problems, such as chewed electrical wires and uninsulated Freon lines due to the rodents stripping them to make a nest. Even worse, you could have a whole litter of mouse pups in your air conditioning unit when you’re ready to use it in the spring. - **Manufacturer recommendation:** Most manufacturers do not recommend covering your AC unit. Air conditioners that operate year-round are built to withstand an outdoor environment and don’t require coverage. ### Pros of Covering Outdoor AC Unit for Winter While air conditioner covers have many disadvantages, they still offer some potential benefits. As you decide if you should cover your AC in the winter, review the primary advantages of AC covers for winter below: - **Cleaner coils:** AC covers keep your air conditioner coils a little cleaner by preventing dirt and debris from entering your unit. This coverage means your AC may run a little more efficiently when you use it again. - **Deterring debris:** A cover will prevent debris like leaves, sticks, and other yard waste from blowing into your AC unit. - **Preventing freezing:** Covers help prevent water from directly resting on your coils and freezing, which could be damaging. ## How to Decide Whether You Should Cover Your AC in the Winter So, should you cover your ac unit in the winter? Based on the potential disadvantages and the mildness of Sacrmaneto winters, we don’t normally recommend it. However, you may decide the potential cons are worth it if your AC unit tends to get lots of debris on it over the winter or if you notice water constantly freezing on the coils. ## Which Kind of Cover Is Best for Outdoor HVAC Units? If you insist on covering your outdoor unit despite the disadvantages, various options and covers are available. An AC cover for winter you might try is a mesh air-conditioner cover that doesn’t block airflow. You could also use a product called A Kool Kap air conditioner lid, which is designed to keep out leaves, dirt, and debris. If you’d rather not purchase an AC cover for winter, you might also want to try a piece of plywood. Although it may look a bit janky, keeping a piece of plywood over your unit while it’s off can be a good compromise. For example, plywood is inexpensive, will keep out most debris, and leaves the sides open to keep moisture and small creatures out. Keep in mind that if you do cover your air conditioner, make sure you only cover the top to prevent leaves and debris from falling inside the unit. ## What’s a Better Way to Protect Your AC During the Winter? While we can debate the pros and cons of covering AC units for winter all day, there’s no debate about the overwhelming advantages of regular maintenance. As a result, the best way to maintain your AC unit over the winter is to have it regularly [serviced by a certified premier HVAC technician](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) from Bonney.

From outdoor chores like yard work and cleaning out the garage to indoor chores like changing light bulbs and checking batteries in smoke alarms annually, a homeowner’s work is never done! What you may not know is that aside from those there are other maintenance tasks you should be doing. Major home appliances such as your HVAC unit can also benefit from regular service. A central air conditioner is one of those “out of sight, out of mind” appliances that you tend to not think about, until it stops working! But keeping up with maintenance on your A/C unit can greatly extend its service life, and also save you some money! ## Air Conditioner Tune-Up Service A qualified A/C technician will perform several checks on a unit, whether it is mounted on the rooftop or on the ground near your house. They will check the level of refrigerant in the system – a small leak can cause additional strain on the system, causing it to run more frequently. They will also check the amperage draw of the motor to ensure it is within specification. A motor that is worn out will be operating at a higher than normal temperature, which will increase the likelihood of motor failure. Similar to the air conditioning system on a car, a home A/C unit also has a compressor and a fan to draw air past a coil. These items are belt-driven, and belts should be inspected for cracks or wear, especially in climates with hot, dry summers such as Sacramento. ## Check for Small Problems Before they Become Big Problems A thorough inspection of your home’s air conditioning unit will also include cleaning and examining the condenser coil and all electrical connections. Even in dry environments, moisture can build up on electrical connectors and other areas that are not properly weatherproofed. Corrosion on the cables can lead to problems down the road. Inside the home, the HVAC technician will check the condition of the filter, and also perform a temperature split check. This is done by inserting a temperature probe into the return air duct, and another one into the supply air duct. By comparing the difference in temperature (delta T) between the incoming and outgoing air, the technician can determine if the system is operating efficiently or not. ## Protect Your Equipment The cost of an [annual A/C tuneup](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) is nominal compared to the cost of replacing an entire unit that failed due to a preventable problem. By having an expert HVAC technician inspect your home air conditioner, you can rest easier knowing that your future repair costs will be lower, the equipment life will be extended, and your utility costs will be lower. ## Schedule a Tune-Up If you’re in the [greater Sacramento area](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-service-areas/) and need help preparing your AC for the summer months, learn more about [our AC services](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/) today. You can also [request an appointment](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) to receive an AC inspection and tune up. ![Josh Tyack HVAC Manager Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/JOSH-TYACK.jpg) [Josh Tyack](https://www.bonney.com/blog/author/joshtyack/) Josh Tyack is the manager of the HVAC repair team at Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, Electrical, Heating & Air.

The [Sacramento-based air conditioning experts](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/) at Bonney are here with insight. Here is what you can expect from your AC unit when it is working well…and what to expect when it isn’t. ## **Energy Efficiency Of Functioning AC Units** Naturally, you can expect your air conditioner to drive your energy usage up; however, it should not send your bills through the roof. It can be challenging to determine exactly how much an air conditioning system should cost you to run. The variables include: - **The Temperatures Outside:** The warmer it is outside, the more energy your system will consume to keep the temperature inside comfortable. - **The Efficiency and Age of Your Unit:** The [Department of Energy](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/central-air-conditioning) estimates that having a newer, high-efficiency air conditioning system could reduce your AC costs by 20% to 40%. If your unit is old and inefficient, you can expect your monthly costs to be a bit higher. - **Seasonal Impact:** It can be hard to tell if your AC unit is driving your energy bills up or if the summer season is partially to blame. Energy costs are often raised in the summer because there tends to be a higher demand for energy across the nation. - **The Cost of Your Area:** Energy costs may vary based on the area you live in. As explained by the [U.S. Energy Information Administration](https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/electricity/prices-and-factors-affecting-prices.php), these prices are impacted by local pricing regulations, the fuel costs in your areas, and the availability of power plants and fuels. Take a look at your energy bills from this time last year. You should expect them to still be roughly the same, give or take 10%. Air conditioners that contain any system issues will have to work harder to compensate for lagging parts. This will make your system operate inefficiently and raise your electric bills. If you think your bills are higher than they should be, it may be time for a system [upgrade](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/), [repair](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/), or [tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/). ## **AC Noises – Are they Normal?** Air Conditioning noises are often an easy way to indicate when your system is encountering a problem. How do you tell which noises are normal for your system and which are indicating an issue? ### New Air Conditioner Noises The best way to distinguish when a noise is the sign of a problem is to remain aware of the noises your system makes on an average day. When a new noise pops up, this signifies a change in your system. Paying close attention to these noises can help you identify issues early and get them repaired before they become larger problems. ### Unusual and Harsh AC Sounds By the time you buy a home of your own, you may already be familiar with the noises commonly made by functioning air conditioners. If something sounds broken, chances are that it is. For example, a soft humming sound is likely normal whereas a harsh clanking sound is likely the sign of an issue. ### Decibel Noise Rating for HVAC Systems If you are moving into a new home and do not have an idea of what is “normal” for the system, the decibel (dB) rating of your unit may be a good place to start. This is the noise scale used by air conditioning unit manufacturers to measure the volume of sounds they produce. The higher the decibel rating, the louder your system will naturally be. ### AC Professional Insight If you are still unsure if your air conditioner noises are normal, contact an AC technician for insight. A professional can evaluate the noises your system is producing and let you know if anything sounds amiss. If there is an issue, an expert can work with you to find and repair its source. ## **Air Conditioner Smell** When your air conditioner is well maintained and working properly, it should not produce any unusual smells. As a general rule, if your air conditioner smells funny, it is likely experiencing a problem. AC smells may come from: - Mold or mildew left in your system by an ineffective drain line - A burnt-out AC motor - Poor ventilation and dirty air filters - An exhaust fluid or gas leak The needed service may be as small as an air filter change or as large as a needed air conditioner replacement. If you are concerned about the smell your air conditioner is producing, contact a professional for insight and support. ## **Air Conditioner Effectiveness** What do you expect most from your air conditioning system? At the very least, you should always be able to count on your air conditioner to work effectively. If your AC system is not keeping your home cool, this is a surefire sign that there is a problem with your system. This could be sourced from a range of issues: - **Ductwork problems**: Your ductwork distributes the cool air your system produces. When there is a leak or issue with your duct system, your AC will not be able to effectively cool your home. - **Broken part**: Any single broken air conditioner part can disturb the entire system functioning. A professional can help you diagnose the issue and get it repaired in no time. - **Refrigerant Levels:** Your air conditioning system relies on refrigerant to absorb heat and produce cool air. If your refrigerant has become depleted or you have a refrigerant leak, your system will not be able to function properly. Instead, your AC will begin to feel increasingly less effective until your refrigerant levels are restored and any leaks have been repaired. - **Thermostat Issues:** If your thermostat is not properly reading your home’s temperatures, it will not be able to adjust the air according to your system settings. Thermostats need to be calibrated to stay in sync with your AC unit. - **Needed maintenance**: Rather than a broken system, your air conditioner may feel less effective because it does not have the care it needs to work at its fullest potential. - **Old system**: Every air conditioning unit has a lifespan. As your system grows old, it may become less effective. This is one sign that you need an AC [replacement instead of a repair](https://www.bonney.com/2020/05/ac-repair-or-replacement/). Remember, your air conditioner is designed to keep your home cool during warm days—a functioning air conditioning unit will always do just that. An expert can evaluate an ineffective system to locate the source of the problem and complete any needed repairs. ## **Bonney Air Conditioning Service in Sacramento** If you find that your air conditioning system is not working properly, contact the experts at Bonney.

If your fan can’t pick up the slack, you might need a little something extra. The experts at Bonney are here with an affordable, powerful, and effective cooling solution: [ductless mini-split AC systems](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/ductless-mini-split-systems/). Here is everything you need to know about these units, brought to you by our Sacramento-based air conditioning professionals. ## **What is a Mini-Split AC System?** Mini-split AC systems are small, ductless air conditioning units that offer portability, convenience, and strong cooling power. Much like [traditional air conditioning systems](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/), they work by connecting an outdoor compressor with an indoor unit. The biggest difference is that the air is then directly deposited into the room where the system is placed—it does not travel through ducts to be distributed throughout your home. While this does contain the cooling properties of the unit, it is still known for its powerful comfort and efficiency. Here is a look at some of the benefits provided by mini-split AC units. ## **Upgraded Air Conditioning Without Invasive Renovations** If you have a historic home in desperate need of an upgraded air conditioning system, you might think that you have to cut into your antique foundation to install a duct system. However, a mini-split AC unit offers an alternative solution. You can put one of these units in your home to provide effective cooling without needing to renovate. With a mini-split AC system, you do not have to choose between staying comfortable and preserving the things you love about your home. This is also a perfect temporary solution if you do not have the budget for renovations at this time. ## **Affordable and Contained Air Conditioning** Do you have one room in your home that is always too hot? Perhaps your air conditioning unit is effective for most of your home, but does not extend to one section? You will not want to pay for a complete AC upgrade or home renovation to expand your duct system. The affordable and contained nature of mini-split units makes them easy to install in almost any room. This provides the perfect cooling boost for your garage, attic, studio, workroom, or simply any space that doesn’t have the air conditioning power it needs. ## **Efficient Cooling Systems** If you prioritize efficiency and lowering your home’s carbon footprint, mini-split AC systems are for you. These units require much lower levels of electricity to power than traditional air conditioning systems. They also provide efficiency in their direct cooling, meaning that air conditioning is not lost in the duct distribution process. Mini-split AC systems are highly efficient without sacrificing comfort. ## **Reversed Heating Properties** While they are commonly known for their air conditioning properties, mini-split systems are also essential for the heating capabilities they provide. In the colder months, mini-split systems can reverse to provide the same powerful comfort in your home. By heating the problem areas where your HVAC unit cannot reach, your mini-split system investment will help you stay comfortable year-round. ## **Mini-Split AC System Considerations** You might find yourself wondering, “Is a mini-split air conditioning system right for me?” While they offer countless benefits for Sacramento-area residents, there are certain considerations to take into account when deciding on a cooling solution for you. Here are some points to consider about mini-split AC units. - **Appearance:** Unlike traditional AC units, mini-split systems are placed in the room where they operate. These units are made to look as discreet as possible, though the space they require and their visible appearance is different than that of the traditional AC experience. - **Noise:** Mini-split AC systems have an unfair reputation for being noisy. However, noise-reducing technology has come a long way since the inception of these systems. You might still find that your unit offers a subtle humming noise, though this is often not more encompassing than that of a traditional AC unit. - **Contained cooling:** Mini-split air conditioning systems are perfect for cooling a contained space that needs a comfort upgrade. Because they do not have ducts to widely distribute air, they will only be able to effectively cool the room in which they are placed, though their air may travel to surrounding spaces. If you are looking for whole-home cooling solutions, you may need to consider a traditional system or multiple mini-split units. If you are still wondering if this type of cooling system is right for you, contact the experts at Bonney for further professional insight. ## **Bonney Mini-Split AC Systems in Sacramento** When you are ready to get a mini-split AC system in the Sacramento area, Bonney is here for you.

One problem to look out for is excess water pooling around your air conditioning unit. Not only can this signify an issue with your HVAC unit, but it can also create costly water damage in your home. This is why leaky AC systems require quick, expert attention. Here are three of the primary suspects of why your air conditioner may be leaking, brought to you by your Sacramento-based [HVAC technicians](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/) at Bonney. ## **Air Conditioner Leak Problem 1: Condensate Line Issues** When air passes through your HVAC system in the spring and summer seasons, it transitions from a warm temperature into a cooler temperature. A fact you might remember from your high school chemistry class—warm air can carry more water molecules than cool air. During the cooling process, warm air sheds excess humidity before circulating throughout your home. Where does this extra water go? It is carried away by your system’s drain line, also called a condensate line. Your condensate line is a pipe leading outside. It is often a narrow pipe to prevent critters from entering your system. The small, dark, and wet nature of your drain line’s interior makes it susceptible to algae and bacteria growth, which can block your drainage system. This line can also become clogged by dirt and debris. When water cannot pass through your condensate line, it can backflow and leak into your home. Thankfully, the drain line can be quickly and easily cleaned by an expert. You can also prevent this issue entirely with [AC tune-ups](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/). ## **Air Conditioner Leak Problem 2: Drain Pan Issues** Before water can be carried away by the condensate line, it must first be caught by your HVAC’s drain pan. However, issues with the drain pan could be leaving this water spilling throughout your home instead. Holes, rust, damage, and blockage can all prevent your drain pan from properly functioning. Small drain pan issues can be repaired, but more severe problems may require a replacement. ## **Air Conditioner Leak Problem 3: Frozen Coils or Parts** Your air conditioner’s coils are responsible for emitting most of your system’s cooling properties. However, if your coil is dirty, blocked, or leaking refrigerant, this issue can begin to cool your system internally instead of allowing it to properly function. This will create a layer of ice and frost over your system. Dirty HVAC units and the problems associated with them are often caused by dirty air filters. Both HVAC coil and filter cleaning are included in a [professional maintenance visit](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/), which is one of the many reasons why regular HVAC maintenance is necessary for a healthy, functioning unit. When your HVAC cuts off, breaks down, or stops working at night once the external temperature cools down, this ice will begin to melt and leak from your system. The repair needed depends on the source of this problem. An expert air conditioning specialist will be able to easily diagnose this issue and work with you to create an [AC repair](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) plan. ## **Sacramento-Based HVAC and Plumbing Service | Bonney** If your air conditioner is leaking, you need an HVAC expert to help get you back on track.

One prominent issue that impacts both new and older AC systems is low refrigerant levels. The AC service experts at Bonney are here to tell you everything you need to know about refrigerant. ## The Importance of Exact Refrigerant Levels Every air conditioner requires an **exact** amount of refrigerant to function properly. Each system is different, and even just 6 ounces off from your required amount will lead to deficiencies in the cool air your system can produce. So how much refrigerant does your AC system need? It will depend on your coil size, system age, brand, design, and other unique factors. An expert will use professional-grade gauges and processes to determine your refrigerant needs. ## Low Refrigerant In New Air Conditioning Systems Did you have a new air conditioning unit installed this winter? Many homes opt for winter [AC installations](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/) because it beats the season’s rush. You may even find [coupons and discounts](https://www.bonney.com/coupons-specials/) during the off-season. Nevertheless, you might find your new air conditioning unit working ineffectively once the summer’s heat starts picking up. Why do these new AC units struggle? When a new air conditioner is installed, your technician determines how much refrigerant your system needs by using gauges to measure pressure and temperature output. However, accurate air conditioner readings require a heat load. In the winter, the pressure and temperature are different from the conditions your AC system works within. As such, these readings often suggest your system needs less refrigerant. Thankfully, the solution here is simple. Your HVAC expert will re-test and refill your refrigerant to resolve your AC troubles. ## Leaking AC Refrigerant Unlike most system components, your HVAC refrigerant is a sealed system. While you might lose marginal amounts of refrigerant over time, it usually does not require a refrigerant recharge unless there is a leak. Let’s take a closer look at air conditioning refrigerant leaks. ### *Why does AC refrigerant leak?* So what causes air conditioner refrigerant leaks? Over time, the metal of your indoor AC coil can rust and corrode. These vulnerabilities are exasperated by your furnace or heating system in the winter. When your furnace releases its warm air, it will cause the refrigerant inside of your AC coil to expand. This expansion increases the pressure inside of your coil, which is ordinarily a low-pressure system. This excess pressure creates small refrigerant leaks at the most vulnerable points of your indoor coil. ### *Air conditioner refrigerant leaks: Are they dangerous?* There are usually no safety concerns with indoor refrigerant leaks. Refrigerants can be harmful when inhaled or ingested. However, this can only occur with extended direct exposure to these substances. Refrigerants enter a gas state at room temperature. Any leaked refrigerant will evaporate and naturally ventilate out of your home. Most homeowners do not notice these leaks until their system begins working ineffectively during the spring and summer seasons. Nevertheless, for safety reasons, it is best to keep small children and pets away from your HVAC equipment. You should also contact an expert at the first signs of a refrigerant leak. ### *Can refrigerant leaks be fixed?* Before refilling your refrigerant, your HVAC expert will need to address the source of the leak. Technicians may be able to repair your indoor coil when the refrigerant leak is caught early. Otherwise, your [AC repair service](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) will require an indoor coil replacement. ## Signs of Low Air Conditioner Refrigerant How can you tell when you have a refrigerant leak? Refrigerant is colorless and mostly odorless, making it challenging to detect. Thankfully, there are a few clear signs of low refrigerant that you can keep an eye out for: - **Continuously running system:** Air conditioners should only need to work intermittently to keep your home comfortable. If your AC is running around the clock, this is often the sign of an issue. - **Warm home:** Is your air conditioner running nonstop, yet your home is still warm? Ineffective air conditioning might be a sign of low refrigerant. This might not be noticeable when you [first turn on your AC](https://www.bonney.com/2020/05/turning-your-ac-on/) in the spring. As the temperatures become more severe, your low-refrigerant AC system will not be able to keep up with the weather. - **Higher energy bills:** As your system works in overdrive to compensate for low refrigerants, you will begin to see this issue reflected in your energy bills. ### *Do I have a refrigerant leak? Expert insight and service* One of the most reliable indicators of a refrigerant leak is expert insight. An AC service technician will check your refrigerant levels during your [annual AC tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/). They will also clear any blockages that may be restricting your outdoor unit air intake, chemically clean your system, and test each component to ensure that it is working properly. If you suspect you may have a refrigerant leak, contact your local professionals to have it inspected. It is best to schedule your [air conditioner tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) as early in the season as possible. An early tune-up will allow you to address low refrigerant before it becomes a problem—instead of waiting for high energy bills and seasonal discomfort. Early tune-ups can also help you avoid peak-season service wait times. ## Bonney: Local Air Conditioning Repairs, Installation, and Service If you suspect your AC refrigerant is low, Bonney is here for you.

As such, [low refrigerant](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/low-ac-refrigerant/) is a prime suspect when your AC system starts failing. So does your AC system need refrigerant? How can you tell when your AC system is low on freon? The professionals at Bonney have insight for you! Here is a look at some signs your home AC system needs refrigerant and how our local professionals can get it working for you again. ## 3 Signs You Are Low On Refrigerant ### 1: Ineffective Air Conditioning Every air conditioning system has a *specific amount* of freon needed to provide effective air conditioning. This unique level of freon will depend on your system, your area, your home, and other factors unique to you. Without the right level of refrigerant, your units will be unable to provide adequate air conditioning. Here are some ineffective AC signs that indicate low refrigerant: - Warm air is coming from your vents - Your home takes longer than average to cool off - Your home feels warmer than it should - The thermostat consistently reads higher than your temperature setting - Your AC system runs almost continuously In the spring season—and on more mild days—your air conditioning system may be able to compensate for your low refrigerant levels. But as the days get warmer, your AC system will soon be unable to keep up. If you find your home feeling uncomfortably warm despite your air conditioning system running, this is likely due to low refrigerant. ### 2: Higher Energy Bills When your air conditioning system is low on refrigerant, it may need to work harder to achieve your thermostat temperature settings. As your system tries to compensate for the lower temperatures caused by your inadequate refrigerant, it will begin to consume more energy. You will then begin to see these [high AC costs](https://www.bonney.com/2021/04/9-tips-for-ac-cost-savings/) reflected in your monthly bill. While there are plenty of potential reasons you may see higher energy bills during summer, they will be higher than usual with low refrigerant. Consider comparing your energy bill history to gauge what is standard. You may also evaluate your energy consumption—are there any other reasons why your bills might be higher this year? When all other potential sources of usage spikes have been considered, this issue can often be traced back to a problem with your refrigerant. ### 3: Shut Down Air Conditioning System On its own, low refrigerant levels will not shut down your AC system. However, low refrigerant is often the sign of a larger system issue. As some broken part inside your AC system begins to leak freon, that issue may begin to shut down your entire unit. When your AC system stops working, it is always a sign that you need expert care. ## What happens when your AC system needs refrigerant? ### Low Refrigerant and New AC Systems Occasionally, issues caused by low air conditioner refrigerant can be resolved with a simple refill. This is the case with new air conditioning systems. When your air conditioning system is installed during a colder month, it will not have to heat load needed to properly measure your refrigerant levels. In this case, you might find your new air conditioner struggling on warmer days. Thankfully, your freon refill is a quick and easy service that will have your new air conditioning system working as it should. ### Low Refrigerant and Older AC Systems In most cases, however, an AC repair not as simple as a refrigerant refill. Your refrigerant exists in a sealed system. Unlike, say, the oil in your car, it does not need regular refills. Your air conditioner will recirculate the same freon throughout its lifespan. However, low refrigerant is possible when there is a leak somewhere in your unit. To fix your air conditioning system, a professional will need to find and address the source of the leak before refilling your system with refrigerant. ## Bonney AC Services in the Sacramento Area When your air conditioner stops working, the professionals at Bonney are here for you.

This additional usage can spell trouble for older units or AC systems that have not received annual maintenance. You likely expect your AC system to keep your home cool and comfortable. But what happens when you find your air conditioner blowing hot air? Let’s take a look at why your AC might be blowing warm air and what you can do about it. ## Misconfigured Thermostat Settings When you find that your AC is blowing warm air, it can be easy to panic and assume it is an issue with your air conditioner. However, there is a chance that this warm air is the result of your thermostat settings. Two setting configurations can lead to this issue: - **Warm Temperature Settings:** First, double-check to ensure that your thermostat is set to “cooling” instead of “heating.” Especially during colder summer nights, there is a chance that someone in your household made this thermostat switch without turning your AC back on in the morning. - **ON Fan Settings:** Next, check to see if your thermostat fan is turned to ON or AUTO. HVAC systems have a fan to help distribute your comfortable air. When this fan is set to AUTO, it will only run your fan when your air conditioner is producing cold air. When your thermostat’s fan is set to ON, it will circulate air 24/7. For example, you might choose the thermostat fan ON setting instead of AUTO if you have an [air purifier integrated into your HVAC system](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/choosing-an-air-purifier/). This setting lets your air purifier run when your home is not in a cooling cycle. However, once your home has reached its desired temperature, your fan will begin circulating air without cooling it first—leading to warm airflow. Before you start seeking out AC service or AC repair, double check your thermostat settings and confirm that your AC is turned on and the fan is set to AUTO. ## Dirty Home Air Filters Before air can be distributed throughout your home, it must pass through your air filters. Blocked filters create stress for your system, which may lead to warm airflow. When you notice that your AC unit is blowing warmer air, take a moment to check the status of your filters. If you find your air filters dirty, see if replacing them restores your cold airflow. ## Frozen AC Evaporator Coil A frozen evaporator coil will block your refrigerant heat transfer—leading to warm air distribution. Unfortunately, a variety of HVAC issues can cause your coil to freeze, including: - Dirt, dust, or buildup on the evaporator coil - Clogged drain line - Refrigerant troubles - Low airflow from clogged air filters - Dirty or malfunctioning blower A frozen evaporator coil will interrupt the flow of your refrigerant, causing your system to blow warm air. **If you notice your evaporator coils are frozen or covered in ice, turn off your air conditioning unit**. Running your AC with frozen coils will strain your air conditioner and could damage your compressor or blower fan. Next, contact a professional for support. Your coils could easily become further damaged without the right care. ## Low Air Conditioner Refrigerant Levels Your refrigerant is responsible for transferring the heat out of your circulating air. If the refrigerant is low or leaking from your air conditioning system, there is no way for the AC unit to cool the air it brings into your home. [Low air conditioning refrigerant](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/low-ac-refrigerant/) has two potential culprits: - **New AC Systems:** Experienced AC professionals carefully measure the *exact amount* of refrigerant needed by your system. However, this measurement process requires a heat load. When you have a new AC system installed during a colder month, the refrigerant measurement may be off. In this case, your air conditioning technician will be able to repair this issue with a simple AC recharge. - **Leaking AC Refrigerant:** Your refrigerant exists inside a sealed system—meaning that your air conditioner recirculates the same refrigerant for the lifespan of your unit. However, if there is a break or leak somewhere in your air conditioner, it will let your refrigerant escape. A professional can find and address the leak at its source to restore your AC functioning. The three most common [signs of low refrigerant](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/3-signs-low-refrigerant/) are ineffective air conditioning (such as blowing warm air), [higher energy bills](https://www.bonney.com/2021/04/9-tips-for-ac-cost-savings/), and shut-down AC functioning. ## Local Sacramento AC Repair Services: Give Bonney A Call Summer is not the time for your AC unit to start blowing hot air.

Perhaps your [air conditioner begins to blow hot air](https://www.bonney.com/2021/06/ac-blowing-warm-air/)? If your unit is reaching the end of its lifespan, you may be due for an AC replacement. When you decide you need a new air conditioner, you will likely want to keep your costs as low as possible while still getting the best quality AC system. Thankfully, there are some easy ways to save on a new AC system—both short-term and over the lifespan of your unit. Bonney is here with 7 of the top industry secrets for saving on a new AC unit. ## 1. Take Advantage of HVAC Rebate and Tax Deduction Opportunities Many federal, state, and local governments incentivize buyers to choose energy-efficient systems through rebates and tax deductions. Since energy-efficient AC units need less power to perform, government agencies want to get more of them in people’s homes to protect the environment. You can take advantage of these tax deductions and rebates during the buying process to receive a high-quality AC unit at a lower cost. For example, our team at Bonney constantly looks for the latest [rebates and tax credits for qualifying HVAC systems](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/), ensuring you receive an energy-efficient system at the lowest cost possible. ## 2. Don’t Just Go for the Lowest Price While a low-priced air conditioner can seem like an attractive option, it might not provide you the efficiency and reliability you need. An inefficient or unreliable AC system may save you money short term, but you can end up paying thousands of dollars more in repairs and [high energy costs](https://www.bonney.com/2021/04/9-tips-for-ac-cost-savings/) in the long run. As you decide on a new unit, be sure to check how long a particular unit is meant to last and its average costs over 12 to 15 years. A more expensive unit might help you save hundreds of dollars on your energy costs each year, with these savings adding up over an AC unit’s typical 15-year-lifespan. ## 3. Review Financing Options A new AC system is often a large and unexpected cost for homes and businesses. To get a unit that meets your needs without breaking the bank, many customers explore financing options. You can save money by finding a financing option that covers the AC size and quality you need at the lowest possible interest rate. You may also look for financing options that encompass: - **Deferred payment:** When money gets tight, look for a financing option that will give you some time to get back on track. - **Payment flexibility:** Some customers prefer to pay larger sums over a shorter term. Others prefer smaller, long-term payments. Find the financing option that best fits your budget. - **Deferred interest:** You may qualify for deferred interest, which gives you some time to pay down your AC costs before it begins incurring interest. ## 4. Find a Coupon As you look for a new air conditioning system, you may find available coupons, deals, discounts, promotions, and specials. This can help you save even more on your new installation—getting the lowest possible price. For example, Bonney updates our promotions monthly to help keep our prices low. Take a moment to check out our air conditioning [coupons, specials, and discounts](https://www.bonney.com/coupons-specials/) to see how much we can help you save. ## 5. Pay Attention to AC Size Any air conditioner you choose should meet your home’s requirements. The size of your home plays a direct role in the air conditioner you select, with no one-size-fits-all air conditioner on the market today. For example, an AC unit too small for your home will have trouble keeping your house cool on hot days. In contrast, an AC unit too large for your home will lead to unnecessarily high energy costs, as it delivers more power than you need and turns on/off more frequently. Before you make a purchase, ensure your AC unit is the right size for your home by taking into account your home’s square footage, insulation amount, and the number of stories. If you need help understanding which air conditioner size is right for your home, consult your local HVAC experts. ## 6. Look at the Reviews Like most products, checking an AC unit’s reviews before you make a purchase is crucial. The reviews of previous customers and industry experts can tell you a lot about an individual unit, so you can use their feedback to help guide your decision-making process. Alongside checking the reviews of available air conditioners, take a moment to look at the Better Business Bureau’s rating for the company that will be providing and installing your new AC system. At Bonney, [our A+ rating](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/) and [5-star reviews](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/testimonials) make us a go-to choice for many customers looking for AC installation in the Sacramento area. ## 7. Keep up with Maintenance The easiest way to save on a new AC system is to help it last as long as possible. When you make the most of your air conditioning unit, you will save thousands of dollars on repair and replacement costs. The secret to helping your AC last longer? [Annual maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/). Not only can manufacturer-recommended [AC tune-ups](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) keep your operational costs down and prevent repairs, but they may also be vital to keeping your warranty intact.

Homeowners can ensure their air conditioning system is always performing at its best by becoming more aware of the most common AC issues and their repairs. This can help you identify the source of your system’s inefficiency fast and take action before it turns into a larger issue. When your air conditioner is on the fritz, there is a good chance the condenser coil is dirty, the condensate line is clogged, filters are filthy or your system is leaking AC refrigerant. Let’s take a closer look at these four most common AC issues and how you can solve them. ## 1. Dirty Condenser Coils Your AC unit’s condenser coils remove heat from your air and send it outside your home. When they become coated with grime and dirt, the refrigerant inside your condenser coil will be unable to properly remove that heat. As a result, your [AC unit will begin to blow warm air](https://www.bonney.com/2021/06/ac-blowing-warm-air/) or struggle to meet the temperature you have set on the thermostat. Leaving dirt and grime on your condenser coils can even cause total system failure as your AC works overtime to produce cool air. If you live in an area with [poor air quality and pollution](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/choosing-an-air-purifier/), your coils are more likely to get dirty. Fixing this issue usually comes down to simply cleaning off the coils. This requires a professional hand, as your coils are easy to damage and costly to replace. Thankfully, this service is included in [regular AC tune-ups](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) and [annual AC maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/). ## 2. Clogged Air Conditioner Drain Lines As air is cooled down by your air conditioning system, it will begin to shed any excess water molecules. As you might remember from chemistry class back in the day, warm air can carry more moisture than cool air. So where does that condensation go? When your system is running appropriately, the excess moisture will be caught by a drain pan and sent outdoors through your drain line (also called a condensate line). If you notice [water leaks](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/plumbing-leak-help/) near your indoor AC unit, there is a good chance your drain line is clogged. Depending on your unit, this may also cause your air conditioner to fully or partially shut off. Some units have a float switch that is activated by excess water buildup to prevent this flooding. ***What about dry climates with less moisture?*** While you might think that clogged drain lines are a less common problem in drier climates (like those in California)—this is more complicated than you may expect. The air certainly holds less moisture for your AC system to manage. However, this also leaves your drain line susceptible to more severe clogs. Your drain line is a narrow, dark, and moist environment, making it prone to sludge and mold growth. In climates with more humidity, this drain line is almost constantly flushed out by water—giving it less time to acquire blockage. In drier climates, any moisture, contaminants, and sludge that build up in your drain line will continue to sit and worsen over time. Clogged drain lines can do severe damage to your entire HVAC system, and the water leakage can create mold in your walls and ceilings. Usually, all you will need to do is flush the drain line to remove any debris or other materials causing clogging. If you don’t know how to flush your drain line, you can always turn to a local HVAC specialist like Bonney. ## 3. Low Air Conditioning Refrigerant Levels Your air conditioner refrigerant is what allows your AC system to remove humidity and heat from the air. When an [air conditioner’s refrigerant is low](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/low-ac-refrigerant/), your AC will not be able to cool the air circulating your home. Low AC refrigerant occasionally occurs in newer units that were installed during the fall or winter. More commonly, when your [refrigerant is running low](https://www.bonney.com/2021/05/3-signs-low-refrigerant/), there is likely a refrigerant leak somewhere in your unit. Your AC refrigerant exists in a sealed system—meaning the same refrigerant is recirculated throughout the lifespan of your unit. When this refrigerant becomes low, it means that one of the components your refrigerant passes through is cracked, leaking, or broken. An HVAC specialist can find and address your refrigerant leaks for your full [AC repair](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/). ## 4. Dirty Air Filters Some of the most common culprits behind an AC unit not working correctly are dirty home air filters. When your home air filters become clogged from dust, debris, and dander, they restrict your unit’s airflow. This decreases your unit’s efficiency and effectiveness as it causes your system to struggle for air intake. The longer you leave a dirty filter in your home, the harder your air conditioner will have to work. An AC unit that’s not running efficiently due to clogged filters can raise your energy bills and potentially damage your system. Luckily, dirty filters are some of the easiest issues to fix. You simply need to keep up with your recommended air filter replacement cadence. Most homes require air filter replacements every 1-3 months, depending on the filters you choose, the air quality in your area, the size of your home, the number of residents you have, your cooking/cleaning practices, whether or not you have pets, and other factors. ## Choose Bonney for Your AC Repair Needs If you’re having an issue with your AC system and need a team of professionals to help, turn to Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air in the Sacramento area.

When winter hits and your AC system faces freezing conditions—debris, ice, and water can start to gather in your unit. By winterizing your air conditioner, you can ensure your AC unit does not end up rusting, clogging, or deteriorating during its cold, dormant months. If you want to avoid paying for costly [repairs](https://www.bonney.com/2021/07/4-ac-issues-repairs/) or a full [AC replacement](https://www.bonney.com/2021/06/7-ways-to-save-on-ac-systems/), learn more about the four main steps of preparing your AC for the winter. ## 1. Turn Off AC Power Before you clean or inspect your AC, you need to turn it off to ensure you do not electrocute yourself. Turning off your AC unit also prepares it for winter by making sure it doesn’t automatically turn on during an unexpectedly warm day. You can turn off the AC’s power by locating the exterior power circuit. You can typically find the power circuit mounted on the side of your home. Once you’ve located the circuit, you’ll just need to open the plastic or metal cover and find the switch. Flip the switch to “off” before closing the cover again. ## 2. Clean the Condenser Unit After you’ve turned off the air conditioner’s power, you can move on to cleaning the condenser unit to prepare it for the winter. Your condenser unit should be located outside, and as a result, it will likely have collected a lot of dirt, branches, leaves, dust, dead bugs, and debris over the year. Since you don’t want these materials to continue to collect while your AC is switched off over the winter, it’s important to clean the unit. You can begin the cleaning process by using a broom to sweep away any debris, such as twigs and leaves, on or around the AC. Next, you’ll want to use a hose to spray off bird droppings, dust, dirt, and other debris from the unit. After you finish spraying the unit, you’ll want to then let it dry. For internal AC cleaning, you’ll want to [turn to a trained professional](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/). An expert can clean your unit thoroughly without risking injury or damage to your system components. ## 3. Inspect Your Air Conditioner With the AC cleaned, you can take a moment to inspect your unit for signs of damage. If you see any leaks, rust, or cracks, these issues will likely only get worse over the winter while your AC is shut off. You will also need to check your seals to ensure they are tight without any visible cracks. Damaged or loose seals allow contaminants to get into your system. If your inspection reveals any of these issues, you’ll want to turn to AC professionals. These [experts can conduct repairs](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) to get your air conditioner back to optimal condition and guard it against various dangers over the winter. ## 4. Keep an Eye on Your AC Over the Winter After you shut down your AC for the winter, it is still best practice to check it every couple of weeks. Since debris, like falling leaves, branches, and pinecones, can all land on your unit and potentially damage it, you will want to sweep them away before debris builds up on the air conditioner. You can also protect your unit by cleaning off any ice, snow, or water you see on it, as they can all add harmful weight to your unit. While some will also suggest covering your AC unit in the winter, the experts at Bonney know better. To avoid rust, corrosion, and damage, it is often better to just stick to the previously mentioned four steps.

Since refrigerant in cars occasionally needs to be refilled, people sometimes think they should refill their home’s AC refrigerant too. However, you shouldn’t ever need to refill your AC’s refrigerant unless your AC has a leak or didn’t receive enough refrigerant when it was first installed. ## Why Your AC Shouldn’t Need More Refrigerant Since AC refrigerant operates in a closed-loop system, it should never deplete during the life of your unit. Instead, the refrigerant will evaporate and condense, continuously changing between a liquid and gaseous form. In your AC’s closed-loop system, the refrigerant will evaporate and absorb your home’s heat inside the AC’s interior coil. Once the refrigerant reaches your unit’s exterior coils, it will condense and release the previously absorbed heat outdoors. When your AC is working properly, the refrigerant will stay in this cycle without needing to be refilled. ## 3 Signs You Have Low AC Refrigerant Your AC needs an exact amount of refrigerant to work correctly, and even a small dip in its refrigerant levels can impact how much cool air your system can generate. While refrigerant shouldn’t need to be refilled if everything is working properly, leaks or improper installation can lead to low refrigerant levels. If you want to always receive the best performance out of your AC, review some of the [main signs of low AC freon](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/low-ac-refrigerant/) or refrigerant below: - **A warmer than normal home:** Low AC refrigerant directly impacts your AC’s cooling power, leading to a warmer home. When your AC doesn’t have enough refrigerant, it will struggle to transfer heat from inside your home to the outdoors. This issue will worsen as temperatures rise over the summer and your house has more heat for your AC to remove. - **A constantly running system:** Since low refrigerant levels make it harder for your system to transfer heat away from your house, your system will have to run longer to cool your home. If your AC never seems to shut off, there’s a good chance you have a refrigerant issue. - **Increased energy bills:** As your system runs longer to cool your home due to low refrigerant, your HVAC unit will consume more energy. This increased energy usage will cause your energy bills to rise with it. ## What To Do If You Think You Have Low AC Refrigerant When you notice the main signs of low refrigerant, it’s time to reach out to a professional to inspect your HVAC system. Since your AC requires an exact amount of refrigerant and could need a complicated leak repair, it’s best to leave a low AC refrigerant issue to the professionals. Once you contact an HVAC technician for [air conditioning service](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/), they’ll inspect your unit to see if there’s a leak. If they find any cracks, holes, corrosion, or other causes of leaks, they’ll likely repair the leak and refill your unit with the right amount of refrigerant. However, they may also recommend a full replacement of your AC if the unit is past its recommended lifespan or the damage is extensive. While a leak is the most common cause of low AC refrigerant, depleted refrigerant could also be due to an installation issue. Sometimes, when AC units are installed in the winter, the environmental conditions can cause an installation technician to [receive inaccurate AC readings](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/low-ac-refrigerant/). These readings will lead them to think your AC needs less refrigerant than it actually does. Fortunately, the solution to this issue is easy, as a technician will simply need to retest your unit and refill the refrigerant at the right levels. ## Choose Bonney for Air Conditioning Service in Sacramento If you’re looking for AC leak repair and refrigerant refilling services in Sacramento, choose Bonney.

When it’s clogged, this excess water will drip off your AC and into your home. Over time, this dripping water can [cause severe water damage](https://www.bonney.com/2021/07/4-ac-issues-repairs/), breed viruses, bacteria, mold, and mildew, and even create a fire if it drips onto electrical parts. Instead of leaving yourself and your home unprotected, learn more about the main signs of a clogged AC drain line and how to solve it. ## How Does a Clogged AC Drain Line Occur? As your HVAC system keeps your home cool, indoor air will circulate through your system’s evaporator coil. As this air passes through the coil, moisture can trap dust, dirt, and other airborne contaminants. This debris build-up can then enter and clog your AC drain line, as condensate from the coil will drain into your AC’s drain line. ## Signs You Have a Clogged AC Drain Line Before you can solve a clogged AC drain line, you need to know how to spot one in the first place. Some of the most common signs of a clogged AC drain line include the following: - You can see water dripping from your AC - You can smell must or mold coming from your home’s vents or near your unit - Your AC has stopped working - You can see water damage near your unit - Your AC isn’t providing enough cooling power - You notice water leaking from your attic or ceiling (this leakage occurs if you have a secondary drain line that’s also clogged, as secondary drain lines tend to be installed higher in a home) - Your secondary drain line is dripping water ## How to Solve a Clogged AC Drain Line When you notice any of the signs of a clogged drain line, you’ll want to solve it quickly. Instead of trying to perform a DIY solution that could damage your unit or not fully remove the clog, [turn to an HVAC professional](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/). Once a professional arrives at your home and determines you have an AC drain line clog, they’ll begin by checking the drain pain for standing water and remove it. Next, they’ll remove visible debris from your drain pipe opening or the drain itself. While removing visible debris will get rid of some of the clog, they’ll typically use a wet vac or shop vacuum to ensure non-visible debris is completely removed from the AC drain line. Sometimes, a plumber will use a plumbers snake to get rid of the clog, but shop vacuums and wet vacs are usually the better option. After clearing the clog, the technician will test that the line is actually clear and clean the line. ## How to Prevent Water Damaged from a Clogged AC Drain Line If you notice any of the signs of a clogged AC drain line, you’ll want to immediately call an HVAC technician to solve the problem. By contacting a professional as soon as possible, you can stop the dripping water from damaging your home. While you wait for the technician to arrive, you might also want to turn off your AC to prevent more water from dripping. If you need to leave your AC on, you can also place a bucket under the AC to catch the dripping water. Besides acting fast to prevent further damage from a clogged AC drain line, you can schedule [annual inspections and AC tune-ups](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) to prevent the problem from occurring in the first place. During an AC inspection from an HVAC technician, they’ll check your lines for clogs and clear the lines. ## Choose Bonney for Clogged AC Drain Line Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for clogged drain services near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, turn to Bonney.

The typical cost of an AC or furnace maintenance in California varies based on numerous factors, but the cost is almost always worth it. This guide addresses everything you need to know about HVAC maintenance costs in California, including: - Typical HVAC maintenance costs in California - Factors influencing HVAC maintenance costs - Seasonal considerations and peak pricing - Long-term benefits of regular maintenance - Tips for managing HVAC costs Understanding these topics should help you feel better equipped on how you can keep your HVAC system dependable year after year. --- ## Choose Bonney for your next HVAC service! At Bonney, we go the extra mile to provide excellent customer service, whether we’re helping with your regular HVAC maintenance or working on critical [AC](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) or [heating](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-repair/) repairs. When you partner with us, you’re sure to have a more comfortable, happier tomorrow. --- ## Typical HVAC Maintenance Costs in California The exact cost of your HVAC maintenance in California depends a lot on the company you book with and the services provided. However, on average, a basic tune-up typically ranges from $75 to $200 per visit and an additional $100 to $300 to clean out your system. ## Factors Influencing HVAC Maintenance Costs Several factors can influence the final amount you spend on HVAC maintenance in California, including: - **Location.** Depending on where you live in California, you can expect different prices for your HVAC maintenance service. Technicians in very high cost of living areas may charge more due to demand and general operating costs. - **Size and complexity of the HVAC system.** The number of HVAC systems in the home plays an important role in the cost of maintenance. Most tune-up pricing is on a per-system basis. Meaning if you’re maintaining both an AC and a furnace, the cost will be higher than what you’d see if you were only maintaining your AC, for example. - **Frequency of maintenance.** An HVAC system that gets regular maintenance done at recommended intervals often needs less work done, leading to lower labor costs. - **Cost of components.** During your maintenance visit, a technician inspects your entire system to identify any faulty or failing parts. If anything needs to be repaired or replaced, the cost of those components will factor into your final bill. ## Seasonal Considerations and Peak Pricing Season to season, you might notice the cost of HVAC maintenance and repairs fluctuate. During peak summer and winter months, when there’s more demand, you may have to pay more than during more temperate months. Ideally, your system should be serviced at least twice annually. Many technicians recommend scheduling this service in both the spring and fall to prepare for seasonal changes. At the bare minimum, you should have your system serviced at least once per year. ## Long-Term Benefits of Regular Maintenance It’s true that regular maintenance for your system may add an extra bill to factor in every so often, but it offers big cost-saving benefits in the long run. Benefits such as: - **Energy efficiency.** Over time, parts in your unit wear out and leaving them unrepaired can lead to energy inefficiency as the machine tries to keep up. For example, a clogged air filter makes it harder for clean air to circulate through your home. This leads to your system running longer to try to achieve the temperature set on your thermostat. By getting regular maintenance, you will be helping to keep your system as efficient as possible because the parts are cleaned and replaced as necessary. - **Extended lifespan.** Neglecting your system can cause parts to wear out much sooner than they should. Most HVAC systems last between 10 and 15 years, but to achieve this, you need to keep up with maintenance. - **Fewer major repairs.** Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns by identifying small problems and repairing them before they become major issues. - **Cleaner air.** Indoor air pollution can occur if your ductwork and filters aren’t cleaned regularly. By scheduling regular maintenance visits and regularly replacing your air filter as recommended, you can reduce the levels of indoor pollutants and enjoy cleaner air. ## Tips for Managing HVAC Costs If you want to keep your HVAC maintenance costs low, some simple steps can help. Regularly cleaning or [replacing your air filters](https://www.bonney.com/blog/how-often-should-i-change-my-home-air-filters/) keeps your system running optimally and reduces the need for costly labor. Most importantly, schedule regular maintenance as recommended. You can often get a preventative maintenance plan with your installer, which typically offers comprehensive seasonal maintenance and tune-ups on a schedule at a discounted price.

You might be wondering, “Do I need a backup generator?” While this decision is ultimately up to you, generators are more necessary for some households than others. Here are 7 signs that you might need a [backup generator](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/), brought to you by the experts at Bonney Electrical. ## 1) You Work From Home Naturally, the past year led to a substantial spike in remote work—and it seems that remote work benefits will be sticking around long-term. According to a recent survey from [Gartner](https://www.gartner.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2020-07-14-gartner-survey-reveals-82-percent-of-company-leaders-plan-to-allow-employees-to-work-remotely-some-of-the-time), 82% of businesses plan to keep some level of remote work in place permanently. When working from home, it can be hard to create a controlled and productive environment. To ensure that your job is not interrupted by power outages, remote work could be a sign you need a backup generator. ## 2) You Live in a High-Risk Power Outage Area Is your area at high risk for power outages? Homes in high-risk areas tend to need generators more than others. For example, California has a long history of record-breaking power outages. The state is a perfect storm for blackouts with its combination of earthquakes, wildfires, and supply issues, among others. According to [Statista](https://www.statista.com/statistics/1078354/electricity-blackouts-by-state/), California had 4,297 outages between 2008-2017, which is more than twice as many experienced in any other state. In high-risk areas, a backup generator is a more worthy investment. ## 3) Your Area Experiences Extreme Temperatures Does your area experience extreme winter or summer temperatures? Perhaps even both? In these cases, a power outage may leave you vulnerable to the season’s harsh climate. Intense temperatures may be a sign that you need a backup generator. This installation can keep your HVAC system running during an outage to keep you and your family protected. ## 4) Vulnerable Household Members While you might not be concerned when the power goes out, this can change when you have small children, elderly adults, or other vulnerable members in your household. For these individuals, maintaining consistent power becomes more essential. Here is a look at some of the systems you may need during an outage: - **Medical Equipment:** When you have medical equipment at home that requires power, an outage could become disastrous. - **HVAC:** As mentioned above, keeping your HVAC system running is essential. It becomes even more necessary for individuals who may be vulnerable to irregular climates. - **Dietary Restrictions:** One of the most common fears associated with power outages is the possibility of food spoiling in the refrigerator. Outages also cut off food preparation sources, like your microwave and oven. If someone in your household faces dietary restrictions, this might be an especially prominent concern. - **Lights and Entertainment:** While it may be more of a “want” than a “need”, keeping the lights on and entertainment systems running during an outage can ease an environment that may otherwise be scary for children. ## 5) You Face Air Quality Concerns Especially in California, [air quality](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) and power outage concerns tend to work hand-in-hand. For example, wildfires restrict power while emitting hazardous air pollution. Without the power needed to run air purification and ventilation systems, you might be left facing dangerous air quality. Generators can help you keep [UV-C lights](https://www.bonney.com/2020/09/air-quality-uvc-lights/) and other [air purification efforts](https://www.bonney.com/2020/08/10-indoor-air-quality-tips/) working when you need them most. ## 6) You Like To Feel Ready for Anything Backup generators are like a safety net for your home. They can provide you with peace of mind and help you feel secure. If you are the kind of person who likes to feel ready for anything, this could be a sign that you need a backup generator. While you cannot prevent natural disasters or control every potential situation your home faces, you can prepare with a generator. ## 7) You are Due for a Home Upgrade Is your home competitive on the market? If your home is due for some upgrades, this might be a sign that it is time for a backup generator. Generators are known for raising your home’s resale value by 3-5% while making it more attractive to potential buyers. In this sense, they tend to pay for themselves. Until you are ready to sell, you can enjoy the safety and convenience of your new generator. ## Bonney Back-up Generators in Sacramento When you are ready to get the safety net of a backup generator on your side, Bonney is here for you.

Many homeowners in California are choosing to invest in these batteries due to the dangers posed by wildfires. When you have a whole-house battery, you can safeguard your home against power outages by having an alternative source of power to rely on when the grid goes down. The electrical professionals at Bonney are here with a complete guide to whole-home batteries. ## What Is a Whole Home Battery? A whole-house battery is a type of battery designed to provide a backup supply of power to a home. These batteries connect to your home’s electrical network to supply power to a select number of circuits or your entire home. Generally, whole-home batteries provide a backup energy source during an outage or emergency. However, some homeowners also use them to supply their homes with low-cost power during peak consumption times to save money on electricity. You can find several different whole-house batteries on the market today—including lead-acid, lithium iron phosphate, saltwater, and lithium-ion batteries. Alongside the many battery compositions on the market, you can also choose between various battery sizes. Your battery size should reflect the power your home needs, with larger batteries suitable for homeowners requiring more power. ## How Do Home Batteries Work? When you outfit your home with a whole-house battery, you’ll need to hire a qualified electrician to do the job for you. Since these batteries are connected to your home’s electrical distribution system, DIY installation puts your safety and your home’s energy system at risk. Once your electrician connects the battery to your home’s electrical distribution system, the battery will start to charge. This power often comes from a grid or, more often, a photovoltaic (PV) solar system. Many homeowners looking to go green turn to PV solar systems, as they provide a clean energy microgrid to draw power. After your home battery is installed and connected to a grid—whether from a solar system or a traditional power grid—it will start to draw and store power. In a power outage, whole-home batteries can often power your home for around 24 hours. However, the length of the power supply will depend on your battery’s size, how many appliances rely on the battery, and the amount of stored energy the battery had at the time of the outage. ## Whole-House Batteries vs. Generators: What is the Difference? Homeowners looking to safeguard themselves from power outages have traditionally turned to [generators](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) for their backup energy needs. While whole-house batteries and [backup generators](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/signs-need-backup-generator/) provide similar services, they have a few distinct differences that you might take into consideration: - **Energy source:** Generators usually source their power from natural gas, diesel, and propane. In contrast, many backup whole-house batteries rely on solar and wind energy. As a result, backup whole-house batteries are often seen as an eco-friendly alternative to generators. - **Energy longevity:** Generators are known for longevity, and they can often run for as long as you provide them with fuel. Meanwhile, fully-charged whole-home batteries typically power a home for 24 hours. However, they can offer an unlimited amount of energy when paired with a solar system. For example, if you have solar panels at your home, they will continue to charge your whole-house battery during a power outage—providing you with a source of power that never runs out. - **Maintenance:** Home batteries often require very little care, while generators typically need slightly more ongoing maintenance. - **Costs and savings:** Generators often offer a lower upfront cost but will cost you more long-term in fuel and maintenance. Conversely, whole-home batteries often offer a higher upfront cost with increased savings throughout their lifespan. ## Do You Need Solar Panels For a Whole-House Battery? The short answer is no—you do not need solar panels for a whole-home battery. These batteries can be charged from the grid. However, if you have solar panels, whole-home batteries are an obvious choice. They can tap into your solar panels to power your home in the case of an emergency. Additionally, you may qualify for bill credits from your utility company if you engage in a net metering program. With this program, you’ll send any excess energy to your utility company for a credit on your bill—essentially buying unused energy from your solar system. ## Choose Bonney for Whole-Home Battery Installation and Services in Sacramento As a leading plumbing and HVAC service company in the [greater Sacramento area](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-service-areas/), Bonney is ready to install a new whole-home battery for you.

Some of the most popular upgrades include new in-unit air purifiers, LED lights, HVAC systems, and at-home EV charging stations. Check out our recommendations for the best six home upgrades you can make in the new year below: ## 1. iWave In-Unit Air Purifier Breathe easier in 2022 by purchasing an in-unit air purifier like the [iWave Bi-Polar Ionization Air Purifier](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/). Unlike bulky air purifiers you have to keep in a corner of your home, iWaves are installed directly into your HVAC system. Alongside their discrete nature, these devices eliminate live airborne contaminants, like mold, viruses, and bacteria, while also capturing small contaminants, like pollen, dust, and dirt. Since iWave devices trap or eliminate so many contaminants, they can reduce allergy symptoms, improve your quality of life, and protect you from viruses. ## 2. LED Lighting Another great home upgrade is [switching to LED lights](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/led-lighting/) over your existing fluorescent or incandescent lights. LED lights offer significant advantages over other lights, as they last longer, generate almost no heat, and consume less energy. Since these lights are very durable and energy-efficient, they can even save you money in the long run over other options. ## 3. New HVAC System If your HVAC system is more than 10 to 15 years old, you’ll likely want to upgrade your HVAC system. Instead of pouring money into repairing an old system, invest in a new one. A new HVAC system will cool and heat your home effectively and save you money by using energy more efficiently and having fewer breakdowns. Turn to a team of HVAC professionals who can evaluate your home and [install a new HVAC system](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/) perfectly suited for your needs. ## 4. At-Home EV Charging Station When you have an electric vehicle (EV) or plan to purchase one, an [at-home EV charging station](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/) is a must-have. These charging stations allow homeowners to conveniently charge their vehicles overnight and save money by not having to pay for electricity at public charging stations. EV charging stations can also increase your peace of mind and raise your home’s resale value. If you’re interested in one of these stations, [speak to an electrician](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) who can help you select the best option. ## 5. Bathroom Remodel Your bathroom should feel like a calming oasis in your home. If it doesn’t, invest in a [bathroom remodel](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/bathroom-remodeling/) to give yourself greater comfort and luxury in 2022. When you turn to a company like Bonney for your bathroom and plumbing renovations, you can receive jetted tub installation, [new fixture installation](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/faucets-sinks/), shower/tub conversions, and [toilet replacement services](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/toilets/). With all of these options, you can transform your bathroom into your favorite room in your entire house. ## 6. Standby Backup Generators Don’t go without power ever again by investing in [standby backup generators](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) for your home. A great standby backup generator will activate in only a few seconds following a power loss. Since these generators kick on automatically, you won’t have to worry about pulling a portable generator out of the shed and figuring out how to turn it on. [Contact an electrician](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) who can give you recommendations on the best standby backup generators and install whatever option you select. ## Choose Bonney for Home Upgrades in Sacramento and Concord in 2022 When you’re looking for home upgrades in [Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-service-areas/) or [Concord](https://www.bonney.com/big-air/), turn to Bonney.

A public charging station refers to an EV charger that’s available to the general public. Usually, you’ll have to pay to use it. In contrast, an at-home EV charging station is one that’s installed at your home, and you’ll only have to pay the electricity bills associated with it. Before deciding if residential EV charging is for you, learn more about the pros and cons of public and at-home EV chargers. ## Benefits and Potential Drawbacks of Public EV Charging Stations One of the biggest benefits of public EV charging stations is that they don’t come with high initial costs. Since a company will have already paid for the station and installed it, you simply have to pay for the electricity and any usage fees at the station. Another potential benefit of public EV charging stations is that they sometimes feature rapid charging stations that are too expensive for most homeowners to afford. As a result, some public chargers are better for times when you’re in a rush and need to charge your vehicle quickly. While public EV charging stations have many benefits, they have some potential drawbacks if an EV owner plans to use them as their only mode of charging. When you don’t have an at-home charger, you’ll likely experience some of the following cons of relying solely on public EV chargers: - **Long public waiting times for car to charge:** When you arrive at a charging station, you might have to wait in line to use a public charger. After a spot opens up, you’ll then have to wait a little while longer as your vehicle charges. Due to the possibility of long wait times, it’s often better to use an at-home charger as your primary source of charging, reserving public chargers for longer trips or times when you’re not in a rush. - **Inconvenient searching for public stations:** If you’re not familiar with where public charging stations are located in your area, it can be potentially inconvenient and stressful to find an electrical charger near you. Even after you find all the public stations on your normal route, it can be beneficial to also have an at-home charger you can use before you take your EV to an unfamiliar area. - **Potential damage to your battery:** While public charging stations are usually safe for your battery, constantly using Level 3 fast-charging stations can [cause your EV’s battery to degrade faster](https://thenextweb.com/news/is-fast-charging-bad-ev-battery-degradation) than using Level 1 or Level 2 chargers for the majority of your charges. As a result, it’s best to only use rapid charging stations occasionally and stick to an at-home charger for most of your charging needs if you want to lengthen your battery’s life. ## Benefits and Potential Drawbacks of At-Home EV Charging Stations With the potential drawbacks of sticking to public charging stations for most of your EV charging needs, you’ll likely want to know about the advantages of at-home EV charging stations. Check out the top benefits of at-home EV chargers below: - **More convenience:** When you have a charging station at your home, you won’t have to drive to a public station every time you need a charge. Instead of having to wait in a parking lot, you can charge your vehicle while you sit on your couch or sleep in your bed. - **Increased savings:** Charging your vehicle at home is incredibly affordable. For EVs that use 33 kWh over 100 miles and for homes with electricity costs of 0.13 per kWh, the US Department of Energy found that charging these vehicles at home only costs around [$0.04 for every mile of charge](https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_charging_home.html). Many public stations charge more for their electricity, meaning at-home charging can help you save money. These savings can even make it so a residential EV charging station [pays for itself over time](https://www.bonney.com/2021/12/ev-chargers-pay-for-themselves/). - **Greater home value:** Besides offering savings and convenience, EV charging stations can increase your home’s value. With more homeowners and potential homeowners switching to electric vehicles, a home with a pre-installed EV charger is an attractive prospect. Due to the increased interest in EV chargers, purchasing one can make your home more desirable to buyers and help you sell it for more money. Once you sell your home, this increased value can help you earn back your initial expenses from buying a charger. While there are several benefits to at-home EV charging stations, they can have some drawbacks. For example, many homeowners stick to the Level 1 EVSE charger that they received from the dealership when buying their EV. These chargers often have significantly longer charging times than chargers at many public charging stations. However, you can solve this issue and receive faster charging by[ ](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/)opting for a[ Level 2 EVSE charger](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/a-guide-to-electric-vehicle-home-charging-stations/). Since Level 2 chargers offer 30 to 44 miles of charge per hour, they’re much faster than Level 1 chargers that only provide [two to five miles of charge per hour](https://www.epa.gov/greenvehicles/plug-electric-vehicle-charging). Another potential drawback to EV stations is that they have higher upfront costs than charging your vehicle in public. If you don’t have the budget to pay for them and their installation, you’ll likely need to stick to public stations. However, those with the money to do so will reap the long-term saving benefits by charging at home and raising their home’s value. ## Choose Bonney for At-Home EV Charging Station Installation in Sacramento With the many benefits of investing in an at-home charging station, you might be interested in installing one at your home.

We’re excited to announce we’ve added electrical services to ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/IMG_0597-300x300.jpg)our line-up of home comfort services. The same reliable Bonney 5-star service you’ve come to expect for plumbing, heating and air-conditioning will also apply to our electrical services. One of the main reasons Bonney is thrilled about our new electrical services is our new certified premier master electrician Corey. Corey is an experienced, knowledgeable, detail-oriented electrician with many years of electrical expertise. He’s also an affable and thoughtful person who enjoys getting to know all kinds of people. Corey grew up in Gilroy, California. Yes, the “Garlic Capital of the World” and home of the world famous Garlic Festival. “I went to a lot of Garlic Festivals. I worked at probably 8 or 9 of them.” Corey said. Corey was a Boy Scout so he’d be responsible for handing out batteries to all the law enforcement and security guards at the Festival. Corey added, “We got to drive golf carts all the way down this big hill, it was pretty crazy”. Corey’s road to being an electrician all started when he worked alongside his dad, who was a carpenter, during the summer. Fixing stuff is in his genes! Corey just loved to work. Doing anything as long as it was alongside his dad. The electrician on this one particular jobsite needed a toilet moved. So Corey and a fellow Boy Scout friend of his put the toilet in the back of the truck and the guy tried to give him money. Corey refused saying, “No no I just like working”. After a while on the jobsite, they were so impressed with Corey ‘s drive and hard-working ethic they offered him a job as an electrician. Corey said, “I talked to my dad about it, because he’s my best friend, and he said, “Son, I always wished I was an electrician. Carpentry is hard work. You gotta carry a lot of wood, you can beat your thumbs up pretty bad…. You should do it”. That’s when Corey went to the company, which built large brand new custom homes, and said “Yes” to the gig. Within a couple months Corey had a company vehicle and he was in charge of some of the jobs. And he was only 19 years old! Corey has had an impressive list of clients while performing electrical work. One of his favorite electrical jobs was for a gentleman named Mike Markkula, one of the founding backers of Apple. When you first meet him you go through a stringent background check. Then you stand in a line with the rest of the workers and introduce yourself. “Hi, my name is Corey”. Corey was told by the contractor that the workers were not supposed to talk to Mr. Markkula during the job. About two months later, Corey sees Markkula walking right towards him “So I have to say good morning or something. So I say, “Good morning, Mike. It’s really nice to see you.” And he responded, “Well Corey, it’s nice to see you too.” I told him I was really surprised he remembered my name because I was just a nobody at this job. And Mike told me, “Corey, let me give you a little advice. If you can remember someone’s name, you’re already their friend.” And that has stuck with Corey and changed his entire life. “So now when I go to a restaurant or a job it’s really important to me to remember names and let them know that. It sticks with me.” That was one of the really unique jobs he’s worked on. Another job that Corey loved was for San Francisco Hall of Fame wide-receiver Jerry Rice. Corey said, “He was very cool, calm, and collected. We went to a Home Expo and picked out the lights. It probably would have taken only an hour if we didn’t get stopped by hundreds of admirers wanting pictures and autographs. We were there for almost 6 hours.” Corey recalls, “That was really neat to see someone with that much fame treat everyone so good.” Corey believes one of the most important things a homeowner should know about their electrical system is “always know where the main breaker is so in case there’s an emergency they can shut it off. They should always know how to shut the breakers off themselves. You shouldn’t just shut the main breaker off you should start with the largest circuits and work your way down to the smallest circuits. And then disconnect the main.” Important advice from a Master electrician. Corey thinks homeowners should also know LED lighting is the best way to save money. Corey is a big advocate of LED lighting for the home. He said, “It’s a more efficient lamp than incandescent or CFL’s and they last longer. Most LED lights have a 25 year warranty. Which means you’re not going to be changing it out for 25 years.” He added, “It’s great for high ceilings because it gives out more light!” Once you get LED lights there’s no looking back. Corey thinks one of the biggest electrical issues homeowners face is loose connections. “That’s the biggest thing I’ve seen. A loose screw or a loose wire nut.” At one electrical job, he went in the attic where they had put the wires together and twisted them and taped them up in the wire nut. After 20 years of being used it finally broke connection and there was no power. “So we had to fix it so the homeowner could regain power to the home”. When it comes to older homes, Corey says some of the electrical difficulties owners have to deal with is knob and tube wiring. Knob and tube is an early standardized method of electrical wiring in use from about 1880 to the 1940’s. It was considered state of the art back then, but now it is very dangerous, is in violation of current legal electrical codes, and is not insured by most insurance companies. Corey also believes Zinsco panels can be a major problem for homeowners. An older home will most likely have Zinsco panels, a brand of electrical panel that was commonly installed up to the mid 1970’s. It was a very popular product and installed throughout North America. Production was halted when design flaws were discovered. The deficiencies were serious enough to be considered both a fire and electrical shock risk. The circuit breakers inside many Zinsco panels melt to the main “bus bar” which means the breaker can’t ever trip, even when there’s a short or overload circuit. So if there is a short or other problems, the surge of power can melt wires and possibly start fires in your home. The only way to get rid of a Zinsco breaker is to update the panel. Which of course, Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air Conditioning can do for you. Before Corey arrives first thing in the morning to Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air he always fuels up at Brookfield’s Restaurant in Rancho Cordova. Corey has become an early morning regular at Brookfield’s. He likes the homemade food and warm friendly atmosphere. His go-to order is poached eggs on rye toast with cocktail sauce and a bowl of fruit with coffee. Corey is very affable and friendly and loves people. He’s already getting to know all the other restaurant regulars. Corey listed off the other regulars, “There’s Tammy, Dar, Diana, I usually sit next to Bob and Ron. And sometimes Russ and his son Zak sit next to me. I walk in with Bob, he’s 85 years old. He likes to open the place with me. He’s the first person in the door before they open at 5:55. It’s a little part of my morning everyday.” If you ever have an electrical issue at your home, you can spend a little part of your day with Corey, our certified premier Master Electrician at Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air Conditioning.

Check Your Wiring](https://www.bonney.com/blog/planning-home-renovation-check-wiring/) **Published:** May 12, 2017 **Author:** Curtis Roles **Content:** [![Household Electrical Wiring | Bonney ](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/003-home-wiring-electrician-approved-225x300.jpg)](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/003-home-wiring-electrician-approved.jpg)Before starting a home renovation project it’s best to check if your home is capable of handling it. One aspect to check before starting your renovation project is your home’s wiring, which can be easily damaged by a new renovation. ## Checking and Testing Your Wiring - **Keep an eye out for flickering lights** – Flickering lights may indicate you have a wiring problem. First, make sure the bulb is properly screwed in as this may rectify the problem. However, if the problem persists and there is nothing wrong with the bulb, then there might be something wrong with the wiring. - **Examine discolored or charred outlets and switches** – Discolored or charred outlets can be a sign of a serious problem. A charred outlet means your outlet is severely overloaded and is causing intense heat, which can lead to a fire breaking out. - **Look for frayed wiring** – Frayed wiring isn’t necessarily wires completely falling apart. Frayed wires can still be dangerous even if a small piece of wire insulation is missing. Any fraying wires should be immediately replaced to reduce chances of a fire starting. - **You notice your circuit breaker trips frequently** – Your circuit breaker’s job is to prevent fires by “tripping” or cutting off electrical flow when a circuit exceeds the number of amps it’s designed to handle. If you notice it’s tripping more often than usual, you may have faulty wiring. - **You notice a burning smell unrelated to burning or cooking food ­**– Noticing a burning smell without an identifiable source can be troubling. Signs of electrical fires typically have an acrid smell. If you notice the smell is coming from an outlet don’t hesitate to call a repairman. While you may feel like you can handle repairing or fixing your wiring by yourself, it’s best to leave it to the professionals to prevent damage to your home and to yourself. ## Fix Your Wiring with Professional Electricians from Bonney Plumbing Bonney Plumbing can solve your electrical wiring woes with our electrical repair services.

Valued Bonney customers, Carey and his wife Anna Maria, live on a beautiful countryside where they own 20 acres of Sierra Nevada’s finest wine grapes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Vigoner & Zinfandel. Carey said, *“We’re truly blessed to be able to live here and to contribute to the success of the area of local wine makers.”* Carey retired from the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory after 37 years, his wife Anna Maria, is also an electrical engineer at the lab who telecommutes from home. They’re starting a small boutique winery and tasting room and needed a back-up automatic generator in case their power gets shut down by PG&E. They also wanted a generator installed for the main house that would power the in-law quarters. They’re “Living The Dream” in Somerset, California. They don’t want that dream to become a Nightmare if PG&E shuts down their power. It happened in February. The power went out due to an ice storm and they went without electricity for 90 hours. Carey purchased a *“cheapo generator”* as he put it, but it wasn’t capable of powering the winery, in-law quarters, and the well. The couple didn’t want to be in that precarious situation again. *“We shopped around and wanted to hire a company that is qualified and competent. That’s when we chose Bonney to install the [Generac generators](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) along with the two water heaters.

As power outages become increasingly common across the United States, unreliable electricity access can leave Sacramento residents vulnerable. If you are feeling unprepared for outages—don’t worry, you are not alone. Many homeowners are extending their preparedness to plan for disaster, avoid shortages, and expect the unexpected. At-home generators are becoming a popular upgrade for homeowners, and the team at Bonney is working to meet this demand and help Sacramento residents get the protection they need. Choosing the right generator can feel like an overwhelming decision, but Bonney is on your side. Here is everything you need to know about purchasing a backup generator for your home. ## **Wattage: What Wattage Should Your Generator Have?** When it comes to choosing a generator for your home, first consider your wattage needs. This will allow you to evaluate the power a potential generator provides to find a unit that suits you. Simply put, wattage is the basic measurement of how much power your appliances need to work safely. To figure out how powerful of a generator you need for your home, you can add up the total wattage for all your appliances. In an emergency situation, running all of your lights and appliances may not be necessary. Ask yourself which appliances are most important, or speak with an electrical expert at Bonney for professional help and insight. Our electricians are on standby and ready to help you assess your home and its generator needs. Because Bonney is local to Sacramento, we understand standard patterns of outages and the unique needs of homes in the area. Once you understand the wattage you need from a generator, you can begin considering your unit options. ## **The Three Types of Generators** Your generator decision may be shaped by both your home’s needs and your budget. Homes are often equipped with one of the three common generator varieties: Standby Generators, Portable Generators, and Inverter Generators. Each of these options is built to accommodate different home sizes and power needs: - **Standby Generators** - - If you have medical equipment running at home or you simply cannot afford to lose power for even a minute, standby generators may be for you. These generators are powerful and they automatically turn on when a voltage slump is detected. Unlike other generators, they also offer a range of fuel options. - **Portable Generators** - - Portable generators offer a flexible and reliable power option that is suitable for the needs of most homes. These units are not only useful as a backup home power supply, but they can be used recreationally as well. It is important to note that these generators often rely on gas, so be prepared to keep extra fuel on hand. - **Inverter Generators** - Inverter generators are similar to the power and functionality of portable generators—one main difference is that inverter generators are much quieter when running. These generators offer a more advanced, emissions-friendly engine that can provide long-term savings. More information on these types of generators can be found in [this buyers’ guide](https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/generators/buying-guide/index.htm) by Consumer Reports. You can also speak with a Bonney expert for details on which type of generator is right for your needs and your home. ## **Professional Generator Installation** Installing a generator is beyond the DIY capabilities of most homeowners. Their energy power can be dangerous for an unskilled hand. They are also easy to damage and will not work if installed improperly. For a generator to work in the event of a power outage, it needs to be connected to the main electrical panel via a transfer switch. Failure to properly connect the generator to the power supply could ruin your appliances or injure utility workers. Before you spend hours watching youtube videos or put your safety on the line, call one of the skilled technicians at Bonney to [handle the generator installation](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) for you. ## **Home Generator Maintenance and Care** Before you invest in a generator, it is important to ensure you are ready to protect this investment with routine professional maintenance and inspections. An expert will provide your generator with the manufacturer-recommended care to keep your system safe, efficient, and working properly. This involves checking for proper fluid levels, testing unit load banks, changing the fuel and air filters, inspecting the connections, and upgrading worn out parts. Without the care your unit needs, it can quickly become a hazard instead of a safeguard. ## **Top Priority: Generator Safety** As with all of your home’s features, safety is the highest priority when using a generator. One mistake that many homeowners make is running a backup generator indoors. This can lead to serious injury or even carbon monoxide poisoning. Place the generator outside with the emissions facing away from the house. In poor weather conditions, a generator can be covered by a fitted tarp. Homeowners should also be careful to properly store generator fuel to avoid fires. Ultimately, a generator is designed to promote your safety and wellbeing, not put it at risk. If you follow the proper safety precautions, your generator will work as it is intended—keeping your electricity running when you need it most. ## **Bonney Generator Installation, Maintenance, and Repair in Sacramento** Now that you’ve got all the information you need, don’t wait until tomorrow to start getting your home protected. You may not realize how much you rely on your power supply until it’s gone. The experts at Bonney are here and ready to help you get a generator and the peace of mind it brings.

To prepare for potential outages, many homes and businesses rely on [backup generators](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/). Bonney often installs high-tech generator systems with automatic transfer switches to ensure that power is never lost. But what about homes with less demanding power needs? To accommodate all homes and businesses, Bonney also offers portable generators with manual transfer switches—providing both safe and affordable backup power. When you are in the middle of an outage, quick energy restoration is essential. Here is a closer look at manual transfer switches and how they can help keep you protected during power lapses. ## What is a Manual Transfer Switch? Portable generators are known for being accessible and reliable—but they are not always known for their ease of use. These affordable systems rely on manual connections from appliances to generators. This is often done by threading extension cords to backup power units. Once the lights go out, the rush to transfer major appliances over to generator power begins. Manual transfer switches are designed to make this process safer and easier. These units serve as a connection between your home’s electrical circuits and your backup generator. Manual transfer switches eliminate the need to run extension cords from main appliances to your backup power supply. Instead, these switches seamlessly transition your home from electrical energy to generator power. ## How Manual Transfer Switches Work Manual transfer switches act as a middleman between your generator and your home’s electrical network. The manual transfer switch first connects to your main electrical panel. An expert wires this panel to your power inlet box (a small electrical power box that sits on the side of your building). Your generator is also plugged into this box when the power goes out. Collectively, this creates a power transfer system that will channel energy from your generator into your home’s circuits. You will simply need to connect these power cords at the onset of an outage. ## Benefits of Manual Transfer Switches Many homeowners invest in backup generators to avoid the negative impacts of power lapses. Manual transfer switches support this effort by providing key benefits: - **Affordable Generator Options:** Manual transfer switches offer you quick, easy, and reliable generator power at a more affordable price than automatic generator systems. - **Keeping the Lights On**: Without a manual transfer switch, only certain appliances can be connected to portable generators. This does not support other essential power needs, such as your lights. Manual transfer switches extend the power supply to the entirety of your home’s main circuits. - **Seamless Transitions:** Backup generators are designed to provide convenience in addition to safety. However, inconvenient setup processes can undermine portable generator convenience. Transfer switches take the extra labor out of using your generator. - **Safer Backup Power:** Generators prevent safety issues that can accompany power loss, but they also present their own set of risks. When operated improperly, portable generators can cause everything from electrical hazards to carbon monoxide concerns. Manual transfer switches prevent these safety concerns. ## Safety of Manual Transfer Switches When using a generator, safety is always the top priority. These units contain concentrated power, which can cause electrical hazards if connected or used improperly. Despite their name, ‘manual’ transfer switches lead to less portable generator intervention. Rather than running extension cords and plugging outlets directly into your portable generator, manual transfer switches require you to simply connect a few cords. This reduces both the risk of safety concerns and generator damage from improper operation. ## Considerations of Manual Transfer Switches Unlike automatic generators, these systems will still cause you to lose power for a short interval of time. If your home is powering any essential devices, such as a ventilator, you may need an automatic generator system (thankfully, Bonney offers these as well). Manual systems will also not protect your home if you are out of town or at the office when the power goes out. Unlike automatic systems, portable generators do require some effort from you—even with the transfer switch. It is important to ensure that you are prepared to operate these generator transfers and that your system is professionally installed. Reliable experts (such as those at Bonney) will ensure safe and proper configuration. They will also walk you through the operation process so that you can enjoy worry-free backup power. ## Transfer Switch Installation and Operation Due to the powerful nature of transfer switches and generators, these systems require expert installation. While we cannot speak for other businesses, the professionals at Bonney begin this process with a consultation to calculate your transfer switch and [generator needs](https://www.bonney.com/2020/05/buying-a-home-generator/). If you already have a Bonney generator, we will work with you to determine the size and wattage of your transfer switch.

In fact, you might find that your range drops by more than 40%. Bonney has partnered with ClipperCreek to bring residential EV charging solutions to our community. Here is a closer look from our experts on how the winter season impacts EV driving ranges and what you can do to protect your commute. ## Why Does Cold Weather Impact EV Range? Electric vehicle batteries rely on an electrochemical process that stores chemical energy and converts it into electricity. To effectively complete this process, your battery needs to maintain a consistent temperature. In extreme climates (especially in the winter), some of your EV power may be diverted towards heating or cooling your battery. Additionally, extreme temperatures often require you to use your car’s internal climate control—which also drains your battery. In their [2019 electric vehicle range testing](http://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/AAA-Electric-Vehicle-Range-Testing-Report.pdf), AAA found that using your car’s HVAC system has the most significant impact on your EV range. In 20℉ conditions, electric vehicle ranges decreased by an average of 41% when using the car’s heating system (as opposed to just a 12% decrease without climate control). To circumvent this issue, you can leave your car plugged in to preheat the vehicle. This can help you minimize or eliminate the range loss. ## How Much Will My EV Range Drop? The impacts of cold weather on electric vehicle ranges depend on a wide variety of factors, including vehicle age, make, model, and external temperature. ### Vehicle and Battery Age Electric vehicles (and their batteries, in particular) are constantly changing and evolving. The age of your EV and your battery can significantly impact how it performs in cold weather. Additionally, older batteries may be more worn than newer batteries, leaving them especially vulnerable to the impacts of cold weather. ### Different Brands = Different Range Impacts Whether you are driving a Tesla, Chevrolet, BMW, Toyota, VW, or another electric vehicle, your system is built with varying materials designed to perform differently. Driving ranges may also vary between different models of the same brand. You can view more detailed information about your expected driving range in your owner’s manual. ### External Temperature Naturally, more extreme climates require more work from your vehicle. This is why the winter’s cold temperatures have a greater impact on your range than the summer’s heat. As we explained in a recent blog about [why heating costs more than cooling](https://www.bonney.com/2021/01/why-does-heating-cost-more-than-cooling/), winter weather leaves a wider temperature gap to fill. In short, the further your external climate is from ~72℉, the more significant impact it will have on your driving range. ## How Can You Lengthen Winter EV Ranges? Thankfully, there are some steps you can take to maximize your electric vehicle’s functioning in the cold weather. - **Engage safe driving practices:** Your driving habits also have a significant impact on your EV range. Excessive speeding, rapid acceleration, and abrupt braking can require more work from your battery—further cutting your range. - **Minimize internal heat:** If you are worried about your range, try minimizing your climate control usage, when possible. You might consider layering up so that you will not need to rely heavily on your vehicle for warmth in the winter. - **Park your EV in the garage:** Parking in your garage can help keep your battery protected from the impacts of the cold weather. When your battery does not need to heat itself up, it will offer more power to your vehicle. - **Cover your EV:** For those without a garage, adding a thermal cover to your vehicle may help keep it insulated. - **Keep a full charge:** You can make the most of your range when your battery is full. Try to maintain a full charge, when possible. Perhaps the easiest way to keep a full battery on your electric vehicle is with a residential EV charging station. ## Benefits of At-Home EV Charging It will come as no surprise that having a professional-grade charging station in your home comes with its perks. Here is a look at some of the benefits you can expect from a [residential EV charging station](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/): ### Peace of Mind With a residential charger, you no longer need to worry about whether or not a public charger will be available. At-home charging can also help you ensure that your battery is always full—especially in range-dropping temperatures. This can give you the peace of mind that you have the power you need for your commute. ### Ease and Convenience Arranging vehicle drop-off/pick-up at public charging stations can become burdensome. Often, you will need to find an available station, begin charging, and find a ride to/from your vehicle. Instead, residential charging stations let you quickly power up from the convenience of your garage. ### Quick, Powerful, and Affordable Charging If you drive an electric vehicle, you’ll likely have a Level 1 EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment). Residential EV charging stations are Level 2 EVSE, which offer quick, affordable charging. In fact, the [Department of Energy](https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_charging_home.html) estimates that at-home charging costs just $0.04 per mile. Additionally, Level 2 EVSE provides up to 60 miles of range with just one hour of charging. ### ROI of EV Chargers Affordable charging is not the only way the EV charging stations pay for themselves. This investment can improve the retail value of your home and make it more attractive to potential buyers when you are ready to sell. You may also qualify for [federal tax credits](https://clippercreek.com/tax-credits/) of up to 30%. Collectively, this investment can offer both short-term and long-term financial benefits. ## Recharge with a Bonney Residential EV Charging Station You can charge your electric vehicle from the convenience of your home with a residential EV charging station from the [local electricians at Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/).

How Do I Check My Smoke Detectors?](https://www.bonney.com/blog/check-smoke-detectors/) **Published:** July 29, 2021 **Author:** Curtis Roles **Content:** If you live in California, you know how widespread and dangerous wildfires can be. Due to the threat of wildfires, you’re likely aware of how important smoke detectors are to your safety. No matter where you live, you can help safeguard your family and your home by staying up-to-date on smoke detector safety. Here is a closer look at how to test your smoke detectors. ## Why Test Your Smoke Detectors? Smoke detectors are crucial pieces of equipment for your safety. They’re designed to warn you as soon as they detect smoke, helping you take action fast to keep yourself and any other people in your home safe. Not having a working smoke alarm can carry serious consequences, with three out of every five home fire deaths coming from properties without functioning smoke detectors. Smoke detectors also often contain carbon monoxide sensors, which can help keep you and your family safe in the event of a gas leak. Regularly testing your smoke detectors can help you ensure they work when you need them to. Like other electronic devices, a smoke detector requires regular battery changes and can wear out over time. By conducting regular smoke detector tests, you’ll be more likely to catch these issues and take action on them early. ## How Often Should I Test My Smoke Detectors? According to the U.S. Fire Administration, you should test your smoke alarms [at least once a month](https://www.usfa.fema.gov/prevention/home-fires/prepare-for-fire/smoke-alarms/index.html). Since smoke detectors rely on batteries for their power, it’s best practice to replace your batteries at least once or twice a year. When was the last time you installed new smoke detectors? The older these devices are, the more prone they become to potentially lethal malfunctions. As such, **the U.S. Fire Administration also recommends you fully replace your smoke detectors every 10 years after their manufacturing date**. ## How Do I Test My Smoke Detectors? Since you’ll want to test your smoke detectors every month, you’ll likely need to know how to test them properly. Take a minute to learn how you can check your smoke alarm below: ### 1. Alert Family or Roommates About the Test Before you set off your smoke detectors, make sure everyone at your home knows you’re testing them. If they’re not aware you’re conducting a smoke detector test, setting off the test alarm could make them think there’s an actual emergency. As a result, it’s important to notify everyone about the time of the test. ### 2. Have Someone Help You When you test the smoke detector, you’ll be right under it, meaning you won’t know how loud it is throughout the rest of your home. To ensure your smoke alarm is loud enough to be heard throughout your home, you can have a friend or family member stand at the farthest location in your home from the alarm. Once you trigger the alarm, they’ll be able to let you know if the alarm isn’t loud enough. ### 3. Press the Test Button With someone else ready to hear the alarm, you’ll want to press the alarm’s test button and hold it for a few seconds. If the smoke detector is working, you should hear a loud noise come from it. Whoever is listening for the alarm at the other side of your home should be able to clearly hear it as well. You’ll likely need to replace your batteries if the smoke detector doesn’t make a very loud noise or if it doesn’t make a sound at all. When new batteries don’t solve the issue, your smoke alarm might be broken, or it could have something blocking its grates. If a simple cleaning does not resolve your smoke detector issues, you may need professional smoke detector installation. For more specific information about your smoke detector’s unique testing, troubleshooting, and care processes, please reference the user manual or instruction guide. ## What Should I Do When My Smoke Detector Doesn’t Work or Has Passed Its 10 Year Date? When your smoke detector is older than 10 years or has stopped working, it is time for a smoke detector replacement. While some homeowners try to DIY this process, for best results, contact a trained electrician who can evaluate your home’s needs. An experienced electrician will know what smoke alarms are the best for your needs and budget. They can also find the best location for smoke alarms throughout your home and manage the hassle of safely installing new smoke detectors. ## Turn to Bonney for Smoke Detector Installation in Sacramento When your smoke detector has reached the end of the road, the electricians at Bonney can help.

Home and business owners are taking control back into their own hands with portable generators. Portable generators are a popular backup power solution because of their versatility. In addition to fueling your home during a blackout, they can also have recreational power purposes—like camping. So what is a portable generator? [Do I need a backup power supply?](https://www.bonney.com/2021/03/signs-need-backup-generator/) Which size generator is best for my home? The electrical professionals at Bonney are here to answer all of your questions about portable generators. ## What is a Portable Generator? *So what exactly is a portable generator?* As the name suggests, a portable generator is a backup power supply that can be transported to meet your energy needs. Portable generators are often powered by gas, and they are typically used to support homes during power outages. Unlike other generators, these units also meet some alternative power supply needs, such as while camping or on a job site. ## What Size Portable Generator Do I Need? Not all portable generators are created equal. Generators are categorized by the watts they produce, which can range from 2000-17,500 watts in standard portable units. The size and strength you need will depend on a wide range of factors, including: - Do you plan to use your generator for backup home power or solely recreational activities? - How large is your home? - What are your power requirements during an outage? - How many appliances would you need to fuel? Naturally, the more energy needed from your generator, the more watts you will require. Thankfully, your electrical professionals—like those at Bonney—can use insight and experience to determine what size generator you need for your home. If your capacity needs exceed that of a portable generator, we will help you find an alternative solution—such as a [standby generator](https://www.bonney.com/2020/05/buying-a-home-generator/). ## Are Portable Generators Safe? Portable generators are safe to operate when you follow the manufacturer’s guidelines carefully. Like all home power supplies, they come with some careful considerations, and they will require you to engage the highest level of safety for operation. When it is time to kick on your generator, here are some things to keep in mind: - **Outdoor operations:** Portable generators are designed to run outdoors. These gas-powered generators can lead to safety hazards and carbon monoxide poisoning when run indoors. You might also need to keep some extension cords on hand to connect indoor appliances with your outdoor generator. - **Capacity limitations:** You can lead to generator damage and safety hazards when overloading your generator. Do not power more than the recommended capacity with your portable generator. - **Gas power:** Most portable generators are gas-powered, which means you will need to safely supply fuel and keep plenty of extra gas on hand. - **User manual:** Be sure to follow the instructions outlined in your user manual when operating your portable generator. ## Portable Generators in Sacramento | Bonney When you are ready for your [new portable generator](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) in the Sacramento area, the [electricians at Bonney](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) are here for you!

Insight from an Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/blog/outlet-updates/) **Published:** August 23, 2021 **Author:** Curtis Roles **Content:** Properly functioning outlets are essential for safety and convenience in your home. However, when your outlet becomes discolored, loose, or otherwise compromised, you might begin to wonder if it has gone bad. Here at Bonney, our electricians often see outlets have become outdated and dangerous. Let’s take a closer look at outdated outlets and what you should do about them. ## Why Do Outlets Become Outdated? Technology is evolving constantly—which also changes our electrical needs. As such, electrical codes are continuously improved to accommodate new developments and promote electrical safety. Let’s take a closer look at some newer codes that your old outlets probably do not adhere to: ### *Tamper Resistance in Outlets* Outlet tampering is when an individual (often a child) sticks something inside an outlet that does not belong. According to the [National Fire Protection Association](https://www.nfpa.org/Public-Education/Fire-causes-and-risks/Top-fire-causes/Electrical/Tamper-resistant-electrical-receptacles), an estimated 2,400 children experience severe shocks and burns each year from outlet tampering. Outlets now require tamper resistance, which makes it safer for children in the home. These outlets are safeguarded by spring-loaded shutters that will not open for misshapen/damaged cords or objects that do not belong within the outlets. ### *GFCI Protection Outlet Codes* [Ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs)](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/gfci-installation/) protect against shock—especially in water source areas. These outlets are often found in bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas. The GFCI technology can sense when a person is shocked and shut off the outlet power to prevent serious injury. GFCI protection is often not found in older homes, making updates essential to preventing electrocution and shock hazards. Even if you have GFCI protection, check to ensure your outlets are not outdated. GFCI outlets must be replaced every 10 years to maintain this protection. ### *AFCI Outlet Requirements* Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are protective devices that can prevent electrical fires. Have you ever accidentally tugged on a cord and jerked it out of the wall? In older homes and buildings, it may be followed by a visible spark in your outlet. This is an example of an electrical arc fault—when your current jumps a gap in the circuit due to sudden interruption, [poor wiring](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/rewiring-your-home/), or corrosion. In older outlets, this spark can create a fire within the interior of the wall. AFCI receptacles can sense dangerous arc faults and interrupt the electrical flow to prevent fires. ## Benefits of Outlet Updates Thankfully, outlet updates come with several essential benefits for you to enjoy: - **Convenience:** Outlets are often strategically placed throughout your home to conveniently reach where you need them most: next to your bed for your phone chargers, behind your entertainment center for your television, in your bathroom for your hairdryer, etc. When an outlet becomes loose, inoperable, or outdated, you will lose the convenience it is designed for. - **Easier home resale:** While new outlet standards are not a requirement when selling your home or building, a good inspector will note that your outlets are not up to code. As such, outlet updates can help make selling your home a little easier. - **Safety:** Of course, safety is the top priority in any home or business. Outdated outlets present shock risks and fire hazards. You can circumvent these issues with proper outlet updates. - **Peace of mind:** As a homeowner or business owner, you will want to know that your building is safeguarded against electrical hazards. An out-of-date outlet might raise concerns that you cannot shake without a replacement. Outlet updates can bring back your peace of mind. - **Protecting your technology:** Older outlets present risks for you, your home, and the technology you plug into them. ## Signs You Need New Outlets If you look closely enough, your house often tries to communicate issues with you before they become major problems. This extends to your outlets. Here are some signs of outdated outlets you can look for: - **Burn marks:** Over time, overwhelmed or worn-out outlets can begin to show burn marks. Look for yellow, brown, or black discoloration on your outlet plug. You might also see smoke when an outlet is plugged in. This is a sign that you should stop using the outlet immediately and have it replaced by a professional. - **Cracks:** Breaks and cracks in the plastic of your outlet face can lead to shock risks and fire hazards. - **Loose outlets:** If you notice a cord falling out soon after you plug it in, this is a sign you need outlet replacements. - **Outdated:** Outlets without grounding will have two-prong openings instead of three. These are outdated models that will prevent the usage of lots of modern technology. When any signs of needed outlet replacement emerge, contact a professional electrician in your area for support. For those in and around Sacramento, Bonney is here for you. ## Bonney Outlet Updates in the Sacramento Area When you are due for an outlet update, you can make an appointment with the local technicians at Bonney.

Sacramento has been a leading example of these initiatives, with plans to install [3,800 charging stations by 2025](https://amp-sacbee-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.sacbee.com/news/local/article252133488.html). As such, more and more drivers are turning to electric vehicles to save money and protect the environment. However, many are choosing to skip the public stations and charge at home. The electrical professionals at Bonney are here with insight on [home EV charging stations](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/). ## Home vs. Public Electric Vehicle Charging Making charging more accessible in public is proven to help promote EV uptake. However, even with available public stations, EV drivers seem to prefer the ease and convenience of home charging. A University of California study recently revealed that a majority of drivers (88%) relied primarily on home charging. 53% of EV drivers exclusively charge at home. Why? A few considerations help make home charging an attractive option for drivers: - The most convenient time to charge is often overnight while the vehicle is not in use. - Customers get to take advantage of consistently low electric rates. - Availability is never a problem with home charging stations. - Payment is made easy with the costs being incorporated into monthly utility bills. - The safety of your vehicle is never a concern with home charging. - Overnight charging ensures the longest possible [driving ranges](https://www.bonney.com/2021/02/winter-ev-driving-ranges/) each day. ### *Are there any downsides to home charging?* Many drivers rely on “trickle” chargers at home. Level 1 EVSE (the chargers that come standard with electric vehicles) often take much longer to recharge EV batteries. Without the right equipment, slow repowering can be one downside to home charging. As a solution, many homeowners are having Level 2 EVSE home charging stations installed by a professional electrician. Let’s dive into two popular options: the Tesla Wall Connector and the Clipper Creek Level 2 Charging Stations. ## Tesla Home Charging Station Installation The Tesla Wall Connector is a powerful and convenient residential charging station designed for Tesla vehicles only. It provides up to 44 miles of range each hour—letting you wake up each morning with a fully charged battery. For homes with more than one Tesla, the power-share feature lets you evenly distribute charging power without overwhelming your home’s capacity. #### ***Which vehicles can you charge with the Tesla Home Charging Station?*** Currently, this charging solution is compatible with Tesla Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. #### ***Can you DIY a Tesla Wall Connector installation?*** Tesla Wall Connectors must be installed by a qualified electrician (like those at Bonney). The installation process requires advanced wiring solutions that must be completed by an experienced professional. DIY installation could lead to harm, damage your equipment, and void your warranty. ## ClipperCreek Level 2 EVSE [ClipperCreek](https://www.bonney.com/2020/04/skip-the-pump-and-go-electric-with-bonney-and-clippercreek/) designs powerful, reliable, best-selling charging stations for a wide variety of electric vehicle brands and models. Their equipment accommodates BMW, Ford, Audi, Chevrolet, Toyota, Mini, Honda, Subaru, Cadillac, Jeep, Kia, and so many others. You simply need to find a ClipperCreek partner—like Bonney—to get started. #### ***How can you get an EV charger installed in your home?*** You can access the quick charging power of public stations from the convenience and comfort of your home in a few simple steps: - First, our electricians will complete a free in-home evaluation to ensure your home can support a charging station installation. - Next, we help you [find the right electric vehicle charging station](https://www.bonney.com/2020/06/ev-charging-stations-sacramento/) for your home, budget, and vehicle. - Then, our electricians will install a 240 V plug in your garage on an independent circuit. This will prevent your vehicle charger from overwhelming any of your existing circuits. - Finally, we will install your Level 2 EVSE to get your home fully equipped with an electric vehicle charging station. ## Bonney Residential EV Charging Station Installation in Sacramento Are you ready to get your own charging station installed in your Sacramento home or [business](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-commercial-services/)?

However, as your house gets older, the wires living behind your walls face more challenges than you might expect. Getting the electrical services you need before they create trouble in your home can save you thousands of dollars in damage. The Sacramento-area electricians at Bonney are here with a look at 5 electrician services your home may need. ## Electric Panel Replacement If you have an older home, you are likely due for some main panel upgrades. When older homes were built, there were not as many electrical needs. As such, these panels easily become overwhelmed, leading to frequent breaker trips. [Electric panel replacement](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electric-panel-replacement/) is often necessary to increase your home’s capability and safety. Older main panels were often made by brands that have since lost their UL certification due to fire hazards. Check your panel to see if it includes names like Zinsco, Bulldog, or FPE. Not only are these (and many other) brands no longer supported or UL listed, they also will not have any service replacement parts available. This will lead to delayed and extensive service down the road when an issue inevitably arises. ## Electric Car Charging Station Installation As electric vehicles gain popularity, they are helping drivers skip the pump and save money. However, many drivers are finding new troubles when it comes to charging their vehicles. If you plug your car into a standard volt, it can cause your circuit to become overloaded and trip. This issue is especially common in homes that also have outdoor refrigerators. If your circuit trips overnight, you could wake up to a dead car battery and a refrigerator full of spoiled food. Constant tripping is also bad for your breaker and your home wiring. Truthfully, most homes were not built to support car chargers without intervention from an electrician. Many homeowners are sidestepping these troubles by having an electrician install a level 2 [electric vehicle charging station](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/a-guide-to-electric-vehicle-home-charging-stations/) in their home. Popular brands like Tesla and ClipperCreek chargers will give you quick, sustainable charging from the comfort of your garage. Your electrician will install a 240 V plug and a dedicated branch circuit to avoid any electrical troubles. You can skip the public chargers and extra fees while enjoying unmatched convenience. Save even more money by seeing if you qualify for a [rebate or tax credit](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/) on your [electric vehicle charger and installation](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/). ## Electrical Safety Inspection Are you getting ready for a home upgrade? An [electrical home safety inspection](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electrical-home-safety-inspection/) can help. A professional can check to see if your home can safely manage upgrades and advise you on steps you can take to get ready for your project. Whether you are getting a pool, renovating your space, or completing another home project, your first step should be an electrical safety inspection. Safety inspections are also a part of routine home maintenance. These professional checks will ensure that none of your outlets, wirings, or fixtures pose a threat to you or your home. This examination extends to your smoke alarms, electrical panel, and so much more. Safety inspections are often included in your [annual maintenance contract](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/). ## Whole-House Surge Protector As the name suggests, a [whole-house surge protector](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/whole-house-surge-protection/) is designed to protect your home from power surges. Unfortunately, power surges are more common than most homeowners would like to believe. These hazards can be triggered by lightning, fallen power lines, faulty/damaged electrical wiring, problems with a utility company’s power lines, and natural disasters. A surge can also occur when power resumes after an outage or when large appliances in your home turn on and off. As this extra power flows through the wires in your home, it can damage any electronics, appliances, and devices plugged into the wall. A whole-house surge protector is installed directly into your electrical panel to counteract any spikes in your power. These devices are an easy solution to offer peace of mind and protection against thousands of dollars in damage. ## Whole-House Rewire For some homes, a few small electrical upgrades will not do the trick. Continually replacing dated parts like If you need a complete overhaul of your home’s electrical system, a [whole-house rewire](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/rewiring-your-home/) may be for you. This electrical service: - Removes old, outdated wiring and upgrades your home to copper wiring. - Installs a third wire in homes without grounding. - Protects your home, appliances, and devices from electrical damage and fires caused by outdated wiring. - Gets all of your [outlets up-to-date](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/outlet-updates/) with the latest codes—including AFCI and GFCI circuit needs Additionally, this service provides comprehensive convenience.

A GFCI looks like a [standard three-prong outlet](https://www.bonney.com/2021/10/two-pronged-outlets/), but it also has a reset button and test button. Since these outlets can prevent electrical damage and shocks, they’re essential to the safety of homes and businesses. Find out more about GFCI outlets and if you need GFCI outlet replacement services by reviewing this post. ## What Is a Ground Fault? Understanding GFCI outlets starts with understanding ground faults. A ground fault refers to an accidental or intentional conducting connection between potentially grounded or already grounded conducting material and an electric conductor. When a ground fault occurs, electricity will take a path it’s not supposed to go on as it travels to the ground. Since ground faults can cause electricity to flow through a person while it searches for the fastest path to the ground, they can be very dangerous to electricians and homeowners. ## How Do GFCI Outlets Work? GFCI outlets attempt to stop ground faults from occurring through the use of a circuit interrupter. This circuit interrupter acts much like a circuit breaker, as it shuts off power to devices connected to the outlet and the outlet itself whenever it detects a ground fault. A GFCI detects ground faults by comparing how much electricity flows into the outlet and how much flows out of it. Once the GFCI senses an issue, it reacts in milliseconds and shuts down the circuit. ## Where Do You Need GFCI Outlets? Since water is an electrical conductor and can cause a ground fault, it’s critical an outlet can shut itself down when exposed to water. A GFCI outlet is designed to do exactly that, immediately cutting power to and from the outlet whenever the outlet is exposed to water. As a result, GFCI outlets are essential in areas of a home where water could potentially come in contact with an outlet. Some of the most common locations for GFCI outlets in homes include: - Laundry rooms - Bathrooms - Kitchens - Garages - Sheds - Basements Alongside the need for GFCI outlets inside the home, they’re also essential for any outlets outdoors, as these outlets are much more likely to be exposed to water. For example, if you have an outlet installed outside for exterior lighting or a hot tub, you’ll need a GFCI outlet to prevent electrical shocks. ## Should I Test My GFCI Outlet? Testing a GFCI outlet is easy and something you should do periodically to ensure it’s working appropriately. You can read more here in our guide: [Do Outlets Go Bad?](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/outlet-updates/) Review the following steps below to properly test your GFCI outlets: - **Press the GFCI Outlet’s test button:** A GFCI outlet will have two slots where you can plug in cords, and two rectangular buttons, with one labeled “TEST” and the other labeled “RESET.” Press the “TEST” button to begin your test. Once you’ve pressed this button, it should make a snapping noise, indicating the power has been cut off to the outlet. - **Ensure the GFCI Outlet isn’t receiving power:** Next, check if the power has really been shut off by plugging in a device or appliance, such as a lamp, and seeing if you can turn it on. If the device won’t turn on, everything is working appropriately, as power isn’t flowing into the outlet. However, if the device does turn on, you’ll need to [contact an electrician](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) to fix it as soon as possible. - **Press the reset button:** When your test shows the GFCI is working properly, you’ll simply need to press the “RESET” button. By pressing this button, you’ll turn back on the power to your outlet. ## What Do I Do If My Home Doesn’t Have Any GFCI Outlets? If your home doesn’t have any GFCI outlets, it’s a major safety concern, especially in areas where outlets are likely to come in contact with water. Due to the safety concerns, it’s a good idea to contact an electrician who can [install GFCI outlets](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/gfci-installation/) throughout your home. ## Choose Bonney for GFCI Outlet Updates and Replacement Services in Sacramento and Concord If you’re in need of GFCI outlet replacement services in Sacramento or [Concord, California](https://www.bonney.com/big-air/), Bonney can help.

However, if you’re looking for a standby backup generator in Sacramento, you’ll have lots of options to choose from, as these generators come in many different sizes. By knowing how to pick the right sized generator for your home, you can ensure all your appliances and devices will continue to work during a power outage. ## Why Does a Backup Generator’s Size Matter? Your backup generator needs to be large enough and have enough wattage to power your entire home. Since you can find generators ranging from smaller units offering only 800 watts to larger units offering 500,000 watts, it’s important you know how to select the right unit. If you purchase too small of a generator, you won’t have the power you need for your home, and if you purchase one that’s too large, you’ll likely waste money you could have spent elsewhere. ## 3 Steps for Finding the Right Size of Backup Generator for Your Home As you look for a backup generator in the right size, you can follow a few steps to pick the perfect option for your home’s needs. Learn more about these steps below: ### 1. List Out the Appliances and Devices You Want to Run The first step to selecting a generator is to figure out what appliances and devices you’ll want to run during a power outage. For example, you’ll likely want to list out your lighting circuits, HVAC system, microwave, computer, refrigerator, and oven. After listing out your devices and appliances, write down how much wattage they use to start and the amount they use to run. You can usually find this information by checking an appliance’s label or its owner’s manual. ### 2. Calculate Your Power Requirements for the Appliances and Devices With all the appliances and devices listed out, calculate your home’s total power requirements by adding up the total wattage of each device. To find a device’s total wattage, combine the running wattage with its starting wattage. For instance, a refrigerator that requires 1,000 watts to start and 300 watts to run will have a total wattage of 1,300 watts. After you have the total wattage for each appliance or device you want to run, add them all up to see how much power your home will require. For example, if you only want to power a refrigerator with a total wattage of 1,300, an AC system with a total wattage of 2,000, and a computer with a total wattage of 500, your generator should be large enough to generate 3,8000 watts. ### 3. Pick a Generator With Slightly More Wattage Than You Need Now that you know how much power you’ll need during a power loss, you’re ready to select a generator in the right size. Instead of picking a generator with the exact size and wattage to run your appliances and devices, select one that has slightly more wattage than you think you’ll need. Since running a generator on a full load can produce a lot of noise and harm the generator’s lifespan, a slightly larger generator will be quieter and have a lower risk of breaking down. Additionally, a slightly larger generator will give you a few more watts to use if you end up needing to power an additional device. ## Choose Bonney for Backup Generators in Sacramento Now that you know how to find the right-sized generator for your home, turn to Bonney for standby backup generator installation in Sacramento, Concord, and [the surrounding areas](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-service-areas/).

Insight From a Local Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/blog/what-is-causing-my-breaker-to-trip-insight-from-a-local-electrician/) **Published:** July 15, 2022 **Author:** Curtis Roles **Content:** If your circuit breaker is constantly tripping, you need to do something about it. Besides being annoying, a circuit breaker that frequently trips could damage your electrical outlets and any appliances connected to them. Even more concerning, a repeatedly tripped circuit breaker tells you something is going wrong with your home’s electrical system, which could eventually lead to a fire. Instead of ignoring these risks, learn about the four most common causes of tripped breakers and what to do about them. ## 1. Short Circuits One of the most common reasons for a tripped breaker is a short circuit, which occurs when one of your electrical outlet’s hot wires comes in contact with another active wire. This contact will generate an excessive amount of electric current and create too much heat. The breaker will then trip to shut down the circuit and prevent a fire. You can usually tell if a short circuit has happened by looking for any black or brown discoloration surrounding the outlet or a burning smell near the breaker. Since loose connections or faulty wires could have caused a short circuit, it’s best to [leave a repair to an electrician](https://www.bonney.com/2018/08/5-household-electrical-problems/). ## 2. Broken Circuit Breaker Over time, your circuit breaker can start to break down and struggle to produce electricity. Without electricity, the breaker will trip and not work properly. When a broken circuit breaker is at fault, the breaker may not allow you to reset it, or you might notice constant tripping, scorch marks on the circuit breaker’s box, and burning smells. If a broken circuit breaker is at fault, you’ll need a professional electrician to [replace it with a new one](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electric-panel-replacement/). ## 3. Circuit Overloads If your circuit breaker is always tripping, there’s a high chance a circuit overload is at fault. These overloads occur when you exceed the circuit breaker’s maximum amps. For example, people often cause a circuit overload when they plug in new devices that use more electricity than the circuit breaker can safely handle. You should be aware that circuit overloads will overheat your circuit, potentially resulting in damage to connected appliances or even a fire. If you’ve just connected a new appliance and your circuit breaker has started tripping, you can check if an overload is at fault by shutting off devices connected to the circuit breaker and seeing if the trip still occurs. You might also want an electrician to install a new circuit breaker with higher amperage, as it will allow you to run more appliances without trips. ## 4. Ground Fault Surges When a ground wire comes in contact with a hot wire, a ground fault surge will occur and trip your breaker. Typically, this contact occurs when the ground wire and hot wires both touch the metal box they’re located inside. After they make contact with the box, a chain reaction begins that causes more electricity to surge through the circuit than it was designed to safely handle, leading the breaker to trip repeatedly. Besides tripping the breaker, a ground fault surge will burn your outlet and cause discoloration around it. Since a ground fault surge will make the grounding wire ineffective and could [electrocute you](https://www.bonney.com/2021/12/gfci-outlet-insight/), you shouldn’t try to handle a repair yourself. Instead, an electrical professional should fix the issue for you and install new ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets if you don’t already have them. ## Choose Bonney for Electrical Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for an electrician near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, Bonney can help.

This rise in consumer adoption has led many Sacramento-based businesses to wonder if they should invest in EV chargers for their business. If you’re one of those businesses, take a minute to review the main benefits of installing EV charging stations on your company’s property and decide for yourself. ## 1. Draw New Customers and Increase Revenue As more EV drivers hit the road, the demand for publicly available EV chargers has also increased. When EV chargers look for EV Charging stations, they’ll often use EV charging finder apps, like Plugshare or ChargeHub. Once you install your chargers, you can add your location to these apps so EV drivers can easily find your chargers. Your presence on these apps will help to draw new customers to your business and increase your visibility among EV owners. Besides gaining visibility on apps, you can advertise your new charging stations through more conventional methods to attract new customers. Regardless of how you advertise, making people aware of your EV charging stations will often translate to more customers and increased revenue. You can also charge customers for using your chargers, allowing you to eventually make a profit on them and add another revenue stream to your business. ## 2. Increase Customer Retention and Loyalty Since EV charging stations aren’t as common as gas stations, many EV owners are always looking for more convenient locations to charge their vehicles. If they have to choose between your business or a competitor, they may end up going to the business that has an EV charger they can use while doing their shopping. By having EV chargers at your business, you’ll raise the chances of EV owners returning to your store and seeing you as a place they can rely on for their charging needs. When you install EV chargers, you’ll also show EV owners you value them as customers and improve your brand image to eco-conscious consumers, raising customer loyalty as a result. ## 3. Improve Employee Satisfaction and Attract Top Talent Alongside improving a customer’s experience at your business, EV chargers can raise employee satisfaction. For example, employees with EVs will enjoy having a charging station they can plug their vehicle into while they work. The greater sustainability of EV chargers can also inspire employees to take more pride in their employer and their work, as many will be happy to work at a business that cares about investing in green energy sources. On top of improving employee happiness, EV charging stations can attract top talent and serve as a reason prospective employees might choose to accept your offer over another’s. EV chargers immediately show prospective employees that you value your staff members and send a message that you’re committed to sustainability. If a prospective employee is deciding whether to work for you or a competitor, EV charging stations might just be the perk they need to tip the scales in your favor. ## Choose Bonney for EV Charger Installation in Sacramento With all of the benefits of EV chargers, Bonney is proud to provide EV charging station installation to businesses in Sacramento and the surrounding areas.

Since your electrical panel stores the breakers that send electricity to different parts of your home, it’s critical this panel stays in good condition to ensure power is safely routed throughout your home. Even if you keep your breaker box in the best condition over time, you may eventually need an electrical panel upgrade. ## What Is An Electrical Panel Upgrade? An electrical panel upgrade refers to the replacement of a damaged, malfunctioning, undersized, potentially unsafe, or too old electrical panel with a new and improved breaker box. Typically, the upgraded breaker box will have a higher amp service, meaning it can provide more power to your home and accommodate more devices and appliances that require electricity. Due to the potential hazards of electricity, this new panel will meet the latest safety standards and regulations, and your electrician should be properly licensed and insured before beginning the upgrade. ## How Do I Know If I Need to Upgrade my Electrical Panel? Most of the time, you probably don’t think about or even notice your home’s electrical panel. However, you should be on the lookout for a few main signs that indicate your current panel is nearing the end of its life, becoming unsafe, or getting to a point where it can’t meet your power needs. Check out some of the most common signs you need an electrical panel upgrade below: - **You still have a fuse box:** Fuse boxes were regularly installed in homes before the 1960s, and if you still have one, it’s best to replace it with a breaker box. Since blown fuses have to be replaced and come with a greater risk for electrical hazards, homeowners often choose to replace them with an updated breaker box. - **Constantly tripping breakers:** Breakers trip when areas of your home attempt to use more power than your electrical panel can safely handle. While an isolated breaker trip usually won’t mean you need an upgrade, constantly tripping breakers means your current electrical panel doesn’t have a high enough amp service to handle your power needs. Fortunately, an upgraded electrical panel with a higher amp service can prevent your breakers from always tripping. - **You need more outlets:** If you never seem to have enough outlets in your home and your electrical panel can’t accommodate more circuits, you’ll likely need to upgrade your electrical outlet. With an upgraded electrical panel, you can ensure it’s large enough to let you add more outlets to your home and handle an increased electrical flow. - **Noticeable scorch marks or exposed wires:** Scorch marks or melted wires shouldn’t be visible anywhere on or near your breaker box. If you can see any of them, you’re in danger of electricity arcing and causing a fire. To ensure your electrical panel is safe, you might want to opt for an upgraded panel and a full electrical inspection to find out why the scorching occurred in the first place. - **You’re adding new appliances:** When you add appliances that require a great deal of power and have an older electrical panel, you may need to upgrade your electrical panel to accommodate them. An electrician can help you determine if your electrical panel needs to have a higher amp service to run those appliances without overheating or tripping your breakers. - **Burning smells or overheating:** Burning smells near your breaker box should be addressed immediately by a trained electrician. Since failing breakers can create a fire, an electrician may need to repair your panel or replace it with a new upgraded one depending on the cause of the smell. Additionally, if your electrical panel is warm or hot to the touch, you may have a serious problem that needs an expert electrician’s attention as fast as possible. ## What Should I Do If I Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade? If you notice any of the signs above, you’ll likely need an electrical panel upgrade. Instead of risking electrocution, it’s a good idea to hire a certified electrician to perform the upgrade. As you search for an electrician, ensure they’re licensed and insured before you hire them. Once you’ve confirmed they have the necessary credentials, they should first inspect your existing panel and understand your home’s electricity needs. After they know how much power your home consumes, they should be able to recommend the right breaker for your home and install it for you. ## Choose Bonney for Electrical Panel Upgrades in Sacramento If you’re looking for an electrician near you in Sacramento, Bonney has you covered.

While Christmas lights are beautiful and a great way to brighten up dark winter days, they can also be an electrical hazard if you don’t know how to safely put them up inside and outside your home. Before you start hanging your Christmas lights, make sure you know how to do it safely. ## 1. Wait for Nice Weather When you’re hanging Christmas lights outside, it’s important to take the weather into account first. If it’s cold, icy, or wet outside, you’re significantly increasing the risk of an accident. Slippery or icy conditions can be especially dangerous if you’re walking on your roof or up on a ladder hanging lights, as you could slip and fall. For safety’s sake, wait for nice, dry weather before you hang your lights. ## 2. Evaluate Your Personal Risks While you’ll probably want to hang your lights yourself, you should do a risk check-in with yourself first. For example, if you’ve been taking a medication that affects your balance, strength, or clarity of mind, you should consider giving the ladder a rest and letting someone else hang the lights. Even if you feel low risk, it’s almost always a good idea to have someone help you hold the ladder and assist with any difficult tasks. ## 3. Inspect The Condition of Your Christmas Lights Before you begin hanging up your lights, you should check their condition. Besides saving you time from having to replace a set of lights that don’t turn on once you’ve already hung them, examining the condition of your lights can prevent fire hazards. Damaged electrical wiring in your lights can end up causing a short and potentially starting a fire. As a result, don’t use any lights with damaged or cracked sockets, bare or frayed wires, or loose connections. Additionally, if you have any burnt-out bulbs, make sure you replace the bulbs with new ones featuring the same wattage. ## 4. Don’t Hang Holiday Lights Outside Unless They’re Rated for Outdoor Use If you like to hang lights inside and outside your home, you may have some lights that aren’t rated for outdoor use. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPCS) states that any outside lights should be [tested by a recognized testing laboratory](https://www.cpsc.gov/Newsroom/News-Releases/2003/CPSC-Urges-Consumers-to-Decorate-Safely-for-the-Holidays) to ensure the lights follow safety standards. Since untested lights or those that have only been designed for indoor use will likely not be able to withstand wet and icy conditions, it’s safest to stick to tested lights made for the outdoors. Some credible testing companies include Intertek and Underwriters Laboratory, so look for their approval before hanging any lights outdoors. You can also always [consult a qualified electrician](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) to find out if you should hang your lights outdoors or not. ## 5. Plug Any Lights Into a Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) Outlet A Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a type of outlet designed for safety, as it will cut off power whenever it senses a disruption in the flow of electricity. By detecting changes in the flow of electricity, these outlets will automatically shut off if electricity comes into contact with water. If your lights aren’t plugged into one of these outlets, wet conditions could cause an electrical fire at the outlet, putting your entire home and family in danger. When you don’t have GFCI outlets already, you can hire a certified electrician to install them. ## 6. Switch to LED Christmas Lights While you might have a box full of incandescent lights, you may want to consider upgrading to LED lights this year. Incandescent lights tend to burn hotter and use more energy, meaning LED lights carry less of a burn and fire hazard and are less likely to overload your circuit breaker. Alongside offering greater safety, LED lights require much less energy and can [reduce your electricity costs](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/led-lighting/). If you plan to use incandescent and LED lights, make sure you don’t connect them together. Since incandescent lights use up more power, connecting them with LEDs can end up overloading and frying your LED lights’ electrical wiring. ## 7. Avoid Powering All Your Lights With a Single Extension Cord or Outlet As you string up your lights, you might be tempted to plug them all into one extension cord or outlet. While plugging them into one location might seem more convenient, it can be dangerous and overload your circuit breaker. When you plug too many lights into one outlet, you’re more likely to overdraw your power and overload your circuit breaker’s current limit. Overdrawing your power can seriously harm your electrical wiring and cause your circuit breaker to trip. ## Choose Bonney for Outdoor Lighting Installation and Electrical Service in Sacramento If you’re interested in upgrading your outdoor lighting before the holiday season and you’re looking for an electrician near you in Sacramento, Bonney is here to help.

The National Fire Protection Association discusses how Christmas trees, holiday decorations, candles, and cooking can all be severe fire risks, with Christmas tree fires causing $10 million in property damage annually. Due to the increased risk of fires during the holiday season, you must ensure your smoke detectors are working at their best. Check out these four smoke detector tips to lower the risk of holiday fires and keep your family safe: ## 1) Test Your Smoke Detectors One of the most important safety measures you can take throughout the year is to test your smoke detectors every month. Since three out of five home fire deaths occur at properties without functioning smoke detectors, it’s essential you test them regularly. If you don’t routinely check your smoke detectors, the holiday season is the perfect time to start due to the increased risk of fires. To properly test your smoke detector, first let everyone in your home know that you’re about to do a test, as you won’t want them to think there’s a real emergency. Next, press the test button on the smoke detector. If the smoke detector beeps or makes another loud noise, your smoke detector is working like it’s supposed to. However, if no sound comes out of it, you’ll want to hire an electrician to perform an inspection and potentially repair or replace the smoke detector. ## 2) Replace Your Smoke Alarm Batteries If your home uses smoke alarms instead of smoke detectors, you’ll want to swap out their batteries before the holiday season. Unlike smoke detectors that connect to a power source and fire alarm system, smoke alarms are [self-contained and rely on batteries](https://www.bonney.com/2022/08/what-is-the-difference-between-smoke-alarms-and-smoke-detectors/). As a result, they can stop working if their battery dies and no one replaces it. Many smoke alarms require users to replace their batteries at least once a year. If you’re getting close to a year since your last battery change, you should swap out your batteries and test the alarm before the holidays. However, if your smoke alarm features a non-replaceable 10-year battery, you’ll need to replace your entire smoke alarm once you reach the 10-year mark. ## 3) Replace Any Damaged Smoke Detectors A damaged or malfunctioning smoke detector is a serious safety issue, so it’s critical you know the main signs your smoke detector has something wrong with it. Some key signs your smoke detector needs to be replaced include: - The smoke detector is 10 years old or older - You notice that your smoke detector is turning yellow - The smoke detector doesn’t make a noise when you test it - Your smoke detector or parts of your smoke detector have been recalled - The smoke detector frequently chirps - Your smoke detector constantly goes off for no reason When you notice any of the above signs, it’s probably time to have a professional replace your smoke detector. Once you hire an electrician, they should inspect your smoke detector to see if the smoke detector is at fault or if another issue is causing the problem. If they find that the smoke detector is at fault, they can perform a [smoke detector replacement](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/smoke-detectors/) to ensure you’re protected from holiday fires. ## 4) Schedule an Electrical Home Safety Inspection Alongside repairing or replacing damaged smoke detectors, you might want to schedule a [full electrical home safety inspection](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electrical-home-safety-inspection/) before the holidays. Since you’ll be plugging in more lights, cooking more, and having people over, you should verify your electrical system is running at its best. Part of the electrical home safety inspection process should include checks of your existing lights, main electrical panel, and outlets. This inspection should also include a review of your smoke detectors to verify they work. Alongside checking that they’re functioning as intended, an electrician should check your smoke detectors’ placements throughout your home. If they notice any areas that are too far away from your existing smoke detectors, the electrician can install new smoke detectors to ensure all areas of your home are being properly monitored for smoke and fires. ## More Holiday Safety Tips Bonney contributed to Porch.com’s article, [Holiday Safety Tips and Tricks for a Stress-Free Season](https://porch.com/advice/holiday-safety-tips), where we discuss five ways to protect you and your family from accidentally overloading your electrical circuits this holiday season.

If you own an EV, you can install an at-home EV charging station to protect your EV’s battery, save money, and even raise the value of your home. While you decide if an at-home EV charging is right for you, learn more about the top benefits of investing in one. ## 1. Greater Convenience One of the top advantages of investing in an at-home EV charging station is the greater convenience it can give you. When you don’t have an EV charging station, you’ll need to drive to a public charging station whenever your vehicle needs charging. Besides making you leave your home to charge your vehicle, public charging stations can be limited, meaning you may have to wait for a spot to open up when you’re in a rush. With an EV charging station in your garage, you won’t ever need to leave your home to charge your vehicle. You can also charge the EV overnight while you’re asleep, removing any need to wait around at charging stations. By installing an at-home charging station, you can take full advantage of your EV’s capabilities and remove the hassle of public EV charging stations. ## 2. Better EV Battery Protection Though many public charging stations offer fast charging, this charging method can [damage your battery](https://www.bonney.com/2022/03/the-pros-and-cons-of-public-vs-at-home-ev-charging-stations/) and reduce its life. Essentially, fast charging heats your battery more than a slower method, leading to faster battery degradation. With an at-home charger, your car will charge slower, but its battery will be protected from breaking down early. Plus, since you can charge your vehicle at night, slower charging tends not to be an issue for homeowners. ## 3. More Cost-Effective Charging While the initial EV charging station costs can put some homeowners off, you should know that these at-home stations typically pay for themselves over time. For instance, the cost of fully charging an EV with a 200-mile range [will only be around $6](https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_charging_home.html) when your home’s electricity rate is 10.7 cents per kilowatt-hour. If you charge your EV at a charging station outside your home, you’ll likely have to pay a surcharge for the electricity consumed, leading to a higher cost per recharge. Since charging at public locations will usually be more expensive than charging at home, an at-home EV charger [can pay for itself](https://www.bonney.com/2021/12/ev-chargers-pay-for-themselves/), offsetting the initial purchase and installation costs. ## 4. Higher Chance of Receiving Rebates or Government Incentives One of the biggest appeals to switching to an EV over a gas guzzler is the ability to lower your carbon footprint. Though saving the environment is great in its own right, it also gives you a chance to [receive government incentives](https://www.bonney.com/2022/05/sacramento-is-going-electric-what-it-means-for-drivers/). As the government wants to reduce carbon emissions, they’ll often offer rebates and incentives for homeowners who want to install EV chargers at their homes. As a result, you can often reduce EV charger installation costs by checking current offerings from local, state, and federal governments. ## 5. Improved Home Resale Value Alongside giving you cost-effective charging, EV chargers can [improve your home’s resale value](https://www.bonney.com/2022/07/6-services-that-improve-home-retail-value/). As more drivers adopt electric vehicles, many home buyers look for homes with EV charging stations already installed. When your home already has an EV charger, you can often sell your home for a higher price due to the added convenience and cost-effectiveness of the station. ## Choose Bonney for EV Charger Install Near You in Sacramento If you’re looking for EV charger installation services near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, Bonney has you covered.

However, if something goes wrong with your wiring, it can cause electrical fires, burn out connected devices, and raise the risk of you experiencing an electrical shock. You can avoid these risks by knowing the main warning signs your home needs rewiring services. As you consider receiving home rewiring services, review the top five signs that your electrical system is in danger and needs to be rewired. ## 1. Your Circuit Breaker Regularly Trips While circuit breakers are bound to trip every once in a while due to a power surge, they shouldn’t always trip. Typically, a circuit breaker trips when it’s overloaded, and the easiest way to fix it is simply to unplug a few appliances connected to the circuit and reset the breaker. However, if you’ve made sure you don’t have too many devices or appliances plugged in and your circuit breaker is still tripping all the time, you likely have something wrong with your wiring. Since a circuit breaker is responsible for cutting off power, if it detects your system is carrying an unsafe amount of electricity, it needs to be wired correctly for safety reasons. A trained electrician can rewire your circuit breaker and potentially upgrade your electrical panel to prevent frequent trips and ensure your circuit breaker protects your home correctly. ## 2. Aging or Aluminum Wiring If your home was built before 1973, it may have aluminum wiring installed in it. This type of wiring is no longer used in homes, as aluminum wiring is prone to causing loose connections and fires. Homes with aluminum wiring still installed should have them replaced to reduce the risk of fire damage. In general, old wiring can be a fire hazard even if it’s not made out of aluminum. If your home’s wiring hasn’t been replaced in the last 25 to 50 years, an electrical inspection is recommended to determine its condition. When an inspection reveals your wiring isn’t in good shape or can’t keep up with technological demands, home rewiring services can replace your old wires with new ones to reduce your risk of fire. ## 3. Frequent Flickering Lights Another primary sign that you need professional rewiring services is if the lights in your home are constantly flickering. Before you schedule a rewiring service, check that the flickering light bulbs are properly installed and twisted into position correctly. If your lightbulbs have been properly installed, there’s a good chance the flickering lights are [due to loose wiring connections](https://www.bonney.com/2018/08/5-household-electrical-problems/). Since these loose wiring connections can mean there’s a serious issue with your electrical system, you’ll want to quickly contact an electrician to inspect and rewire your home. ## 4. You’ve Noticed Burning Smells Sometimes, short circuits can occur in your electrical system and cause a slight burning odor. While a short circuit doesn’t always cause a fire, it does create sparks that can start a fire in your electric system. If you can smell something burning but can’t see anything, you likely have a fire somewhere inside your walls that must be taken care of quickly. You’ll likely want to contact the fire department first to prevent the fire from spreading before you contact an electrician to rewire your home. If the burning smells are accompanied by sparks or smoke coming from your electrical system, you’ll definitely not want to delay receiving help from the fire department. After you contact the fire department, make sure to unplug any connected devices. To prevent this issue from coming back, contact an electrician to rewire your home. ## 5. Your Outlets and Switches Have Burn Signs Besides watching out for burning smells and smoke, it’s a good idea to check your [outlets and switches for burn signs](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/outlet-updates/). These burn marks are signs that your wiring is short-circuiting and generating sparks. Additionally, the sparks are a major fire hazard and can leave black and brown burn marks on your outlets. As soon as you notice burn marks on your outlets or light switches, contact an electrician for a full inspection, a potential rewire, and [GFCI outlet replacement services](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/gfci-installation/). ## Choose Bonney for Home Rewiring Services Near You in Sacramento If you’re looking for an electrician near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, Bonney has you covered.

Since installing an EV charger at your home can cost a bit of money, some homeowners haven’t invested in at-home EV charging stations because they’re not sure if it’s worth the cost. Though EV charging stations require an initial investment, they provide significant financial advantages while giving homeowners greater EV charging convenience. ## 5 Reasons EV Charging Station Installation Is Worth the Cost for Homeowners Since EV charging stations offer several financial benefits, they can [pay for themselves over time](https://www.bonney.com/2021/12/ev-chargers-pay-for-themselves/) and be well worth the cost. While you consider investing in at-home EV charging installation, you can review the top five reasons EV chargers are worth the financial investment: ### 1. More Affordable Charging When you charge your car at a public EV station, you’ll often be hit with a surcharge for the electricity you use. At-home EV charging installation solves this issue by allowing you to charge your car with your home’s electricity, eliminating surcharges and fees. Though your electric bills will go up, the cost to recharge your EV will still be less than charging at a public station. ### 2. Greater Opportunities For Tax Benefits As the city of Sacramento and other government entities try to [encourage people to switch to EVs](https://www.bonney.com/2022/05/sacramento-is-going-electric-what-it-means-for-drivers/), you can take advantage of many tax benefits and rebates. For example, the federal government is offering a 30% tax rebate for various electric vehicle charging stations [under IRS form 8911](https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8911.pdf), while SMUD offers up to [$1,000 for EV charging equipment and installation](https://www.smud.org/en/Going-Green/Electric-Vehicles/Residential#Rebates-and-incentives). Due to the many [available tax rebates and credits](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/) for EV chargers, you can make back a lot of the money you used to invest in an EV charger installation. ### 3. Increased Home Retail Value Another way you can financially benefit from owning an at-home EV charger comes down to your home’s retail value. As more drivers adopt EVs, the demand for homes with EV charging stations will only increase as well. With an EV charging station in your home, you can often [increase your home’s retail value](https://www.bonney.com/2022/07/6-services-that-improve-home-retail-value/), meaning you can sell it for more when you’re ready to move to a new home. ### 4. Reduced Mileage On Your Vehicle Unless you have an EV charging station near your home or on a route you usually take, you likely have to go out of your way to charge your EV. Besides the annoyance of finding an EV station, the extra mileage on your vehicle means you’ll have to pay for more electricity over time. An at-home EV charger eliminates the need to go out of your way for a charge, which can save you money in recharge costs and reduce the mileage on your EV. ### 5. Better Ev Battery Protection When you own an EV charger, you can better protect your vehicle’s battery by controlling the charging speed. While fast charging is convenient, it can reduce your battery’s life and make you pay for a new battery earlier than you should. Since many public charging stations only offer fast charging, investing in an at-home EV charger that offers slower charging can [protect your EV’s battery](https://www.bonney.com/2023/02/5-benefits-of-at-home-ev-charging-stations/) and prevent the expense of having to replace your battery prematurely. ## Choose Bonney for At-Home EV Charging Station Installation in Sacramento If you’re looking for EV charging station installation near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, turn to Bonney.

Fortunately, you can protect your HVAC system from wear and lower your energy consumption with ceiling fans. If you don’t have any ceiling fans in your home, you’ll want to know more about the top three benefits of ceiling fan installation during the summer. ## 1. Ceiling Fans Increase Your Comfort While ceiling fans can’t actually lower a room’s temperature, they make rooms feel cooler, leading to greater comfort over the summer. When a ceiling fan runs, it will redistribute air more effectively and help you feel colder. Without a ceiling fan, hot air will rise to your ceiling while cool air will settle near your feet. A running ceiling fan will pull the cold air on the ground toward your face and cause you to feel cooler. Besides redistributing cool air, ceiling fans will make your sweat evaporate faster. This sweat evaporation is caused by a wind chill effect, as moving air leads to faster evaporation. By evaporating sweat faster and moving cool air to your face, ceiling fans make rooms feel cooler than they are. In fact, Energy Saver states that you can raise your thermostat’s temperature by around four degrees and feel [no reduction in comfort](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/fans-cooling) when you have a ceiling fan running. As a result, you can keep your home cooler without having to lower the thermostat. ## 2. Ceiling Fans Reduce Energy Consumption On top of making your home feel cooler, ceiling fan installation can also lower your energy bills. Though ceiling fans will use electricity while running, they reduce the energy your HVAC system has to use to make you feel comfortable. Since ceiling fans can make a room feel about four degrees cooler, you can keep your thermostat at a higher temperature. For example, if you like to keep your home at 72 degrees, you could raise your thermostat to 76 degrees and not feel a difference when your fans are running. If you purchase a ceiling fan and keep your home’s temperature higher afterward, your HVAC system won’t have to run as long to cool your home, and you’ll reduce your overall energy consumption. Energy Star also states that raising your thermostat by two degrees while your ceiling fan is running could [lower your AC costs by up to 14%](https://www.energystar.gov/products/heating_cooling/keep_your_cool_and_save_your_money_summer/2483). Since ceiling fans can reduce energy consumption and lower the demands on your HVAC system, they can even potentially pay for themselves over time. ## 3. Ceiling Fans Can Improve Air Circulation in Your Home Ceiling fans increase air circulation throughout your home, which can have several benefits. For example, increased air circulation helps remove bad smells and reduces the stuffiness of a room. Additionally, while ceiling fans don’t reduce humidity in your home on their own, the breeze generated by the ceiling fan will help your AC remove humidity quicker. The greater air circulation will also have a slight drying effect, leading your home to feel less humid. ## Choose Bonney or Ceiling Fan Installation Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for a ceiling fan installed near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, Bonney is ready to serve you. After you contact us, our certified electricians will help you select the right-sized ceiling fans to ensure they provide the best in longevity and performance.

Why? Because it supplies the right amount of electricity to each part of your home and all the systems that rely on it. But, just like every other system, it will break down over time and need to be upgraded at some point. Since your electrical panel is essential to keeping electricity flowing in your home, it’s important to know the top seven main signs your electrical panel needs to be replaced. ## 1. You Always Have to Flip the Breakers Do you find yourself regularly taking trips to the electrical panel to flip a breaker because the power has once again gone out in a certain section of the home? The panel will trip if it believes an area is trying to draw too much power — that’s normal. But if it’s happening frequently, take it as a sign to have the [panel inspected and potentially replaced](https://www.bonney.com/2022/09/a-guide-to-electrical-panel-upgrades/). ## 2. Your Electrical Panel Doesn’t Have Any Breakers You may have a fuse panel if the home was built before 1960. These once-new and innovative panels are now considered a fire hazard. If your electricity system is run by a fuse panel, an electrician will need to upgrade it to an electrical panel. ## 3. You Notice Rust on the Electrical Panel Where there’s metal, oxygen, and water, you have a breeding ground for rust, and unfortunately, rust can affect your electrical panel. For example, moisture can make its way inside the electrical panel if the panel is in a humid area of the home. An electrical panel in this sort of location can cause rust and corrosion to bake themselves onto the panel. Don’t turn a blind eye to this issue, as it is a fire hazard. Instead, call an electrician right away since there’s no need to risk your and your family’s safety. Additionally, an electrician can quickly solve a rusty panel for you, either repairing or replacing it, depending on how much corrosion has occurred. ## 4. Your Home Doesn’t Have Enough Outlets Walk into the average home, and you’ll find several devices that require an electrical charge. From phones and tablets to laptops and handheld gaming devices, the average American has lots of electrical devices they need to recharge daily. As you look around the kitchen, you’ll see air fryers, toaster ovens, crockpots, and other countertop appliances that also require an electrical socket to work. Let’s not leave out the TVs, desktop computers, speaker systems, and more. Some choose to fix this problem with power strips, but that isn’t the right solution. Power strips don’t add more power to the home. The electrical panel is designed to give each outlet a specific amount of power. When numerous devices are drawing more power than the outlet was made to hold, your breakers are more likely to flip, and you should consider upgrading the panel. ## 5. You Smell Burning Odors Near Your Panel If you smell burning odors coming from your panel or near it, call a professional immediately. A number of house fires are started by electrical panels during the year, and to avoid it happening to you, you don’t want to ignore what your nose is telling you. Does it smell like plastic is burning? That’s probably because the plastic surrounding the wires is melting, indicating that the electrical panel is too hot. Or is that burning wood you smell? This wood smell could mean there’s damage within the walls. Either way, you’re going to need an upgraded panel. ## 6. Your Lights Flicker and Dim Regularly When you turn on a kitchen appliance like the microwave or dishwasher, do the lights flicker or grow dimmer? This flickering or dimming typically happens when the electrical panel doesn’t have enough circuits. Upgrading your electrical panel can eliminate the flickering and dimming by increasing the energy load your electrical panel can safely handle. ## 7. You Want to Add Appliances Are you remodeling the kitchen in an older home and adding new appliances? Introducing a large freezer or dishwasher to the old electrical panel is not a good idea. You want to be sure the panel can provide enough power to these appliances and the rest of the home. When there’s an increased demand for power, an upgraded electrical panel is required to produce enough juice to keep everything running. ## Choose Bonney for Electrical Panel Replacement Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for electrical panel replacement services near you in Sacramento, Bonney can help.

Circuit breakers are designed to protect your home from electrical hazards by automatically shutting off power when they detect an overload or short circuit. While an occasional trip is normal, constant tripping is a signal that something isn’t right and needs attention. In this blog, we’ll explore common reasons why circuit breakers trip, what you can do to prevent it, and when it’s time to call a professional. ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/electricpanel-675x1024.jpg) ### **Understanding the Role of Circuit Breakers** Circuit breakers play a vital role in maintaining electrical safety. They are designed to detect faults and interrupt the flow of electricity. A trip in your circuit breaker helps to prevent overheating, fires, and damage to your electrical system. When a circuit breaker trips, it shuts off power to the affected circuit, which can protect appliances, wiring, and potentially even lives. If your circuit breaker is constantly tripping, it is essential to find out why to prevent further issues. ### **4 Common Reasons Your Circuit Breaker May Be Tripping** Several factors could be causing your circuit breaker to trip. Understanding these common causes can help you identify the problem and decide on the best course of action. #### **1. Circuit Overload** A circuit overload occurs when too many appliances or devices are running on the same circuit, drawing more current than the circuit can handle. This is one of the most common reasons for breaker trips, especially in older homes with limited electrical capacity. When a circuit is overloaded, the breaker will trip to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. To identify an overloaded circuit, pay attention to when the breaker trips. If it happens when you’re using multiple high-power appliances at once—such as a hair dryer and a microwave—it’s likely an overload issue. A circuit overload can often be resolved without a professional. You can prevent this by distributing the load across multiple circuits or unplugging devices when they’re not in use. #### **2. Short Circuit** A short circuit occurs when the hot wire (live) comes into contact with a neutral or ground wire, creating an unintended path for electricity to flow. This results in a surge of electrical current, which can cause the breaker to trip. Short circuits can also cause sparks, smoke, or even fires, making them a serious safety hazard. Common causes of short circuits include damaged or frayed wiring, faulty outlets, or malfunctioning appliances. If you suspect a short circuit, it’s best to turn off the breaker and contact a licensed electrician to inspect your wiring and identify the source of the problem. #### **3. Ground Fault** A ground fault happens when the hot wire makes contact with a grounded part of the electrical system, such as a metal box or the earth itself. This type of fault is particularly common in areas with high moisture levels, such as bathrooms, kitchens, or outdoor spaces. Like short circuits, ground faults can result in excessive current flow, which triggers the breaker. To prevent ground faults, ensure that outlets in moisture-prone areas are equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). These devices monitor the flow of electricity and shut off the circuit if they detect an imbalance, reducing the risk of electric shock and fire. #### **4. Arc Fault** Arc faults occur when an electrical discharge (arc) happens between conductors due to damaged or deteriorated wiring. Arc faults are dangerous because they can produce high temperatures and potentially ignite surrounding materials. Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are designed to detect these faults and shut off the circuit to prevent fire hazards. If your circuit breaker trips due to an arc fault, it’s often a sign of aging or damaged wiring that needs immediate attention. Contact an electrician to assess and repair the affected areas. ### **How to Prevent Constant Circuit Breaker Tripping** While some causes of tripping breakers require professional intervention, there are several steps you can take to reduce the likelihood of future trips: 1. **Distribute Your Electrical Load:** Avoid overloading circuits by spreading out the use of high-power appliances across multiple circuits. If your home has an insufficient number of circuits, consider having an electrician install additional ones to accommodate your electrical needs. 2. **Unplug Unused Appliances:** When appliances or electronics aren’t in use, unplug them to reduce unnecessary electrical load on the circuit. This is especially important for high-wattage devices like space heaters, air conditioners, and kitchen appliances. 3. **Inspect and Replace Faulty Wiring:** Regularly inspect outlets, switches, and cords for any signs of damage or wear. If you notice frayed wires, discolored outlets, or loose connections, have them repaired or replaced by a professional to prevent short circuits and electrical faults. 4. **Use AFCI and GFCI Protection:** Ensure that your home is equipped with AFCIs and GFCIs, particularly in areas prone to moisture or where electrical faults are more likely to occur. These devices provide an extra layer of protection by detecting dangerous electrical conditions and shutting off the circuit. ### **When to Call a Professional** While minor issues can sometimes be resolved by distributing electrical loads or unplugging devices, frequent breaker trips are often a sign of a more serious problem that needs professional attention. If you experience any of the following, it’s time to call a licensed electrician: - Your breaker trips frequently, even after redistributing your appliances. - You notice signs of a short circuit, such as sparks, smoke, or burn marks near an outlet. - You suspect damaged wiring or have an older electrical system that hasn’t been updated in years. - Your breaker trips without any apparent reason or when minimal devices are running. ### **Stay Safe with Bonney’s Electrical Services** Frequent circuit breaker trips are more than just a hassle—they’re a warning sign that something may be wrong with your electrical system.

If you’re a homeowner and have been in your property for a long time, you may have noticed that your electrical panel has gotten more jumbled as the years have gone on. In addition to being annoying to deal with, an older electrical panel with outdated parts can also pose a fire risk for your home or business. Replacing an entire electrical panel can be a [costly](https://www.forbes.com/home-improvement/electrical/electrical-panel-replacement-cost/#:~:text=Replacing%20an%20electrical%20panel%20on,you%20should%20replace%20it%20ASAP.) and time-consuming process, and is unfortunately the route that many folks take when they start having issues with their panel. But what if there was a way to modernize and safely reformat your electrical panel without overhauling the entire thing? Electrical Panel Rejuvenation is a relatively unknown solution that is gaining popularity as a viable option for those who do not want to completely replace their panel but are in need of some help. In this article, we’ll go over what Electrical Panel Rejuvenation is, what makes a home eligible for rejuvenation, and what the cost benefits can be in the long run. ## What Is Electrical Panel Rejuvenation? Electrical Panel Rejuvenation is a specialized process that is designed to enhance the overall functionality of your electrical panel while also bringing it up to date with the most modern technologies available to homeowners. A trained electrician will evaluate the state of your electrical panel, make suggestions, and work with you to refurbish your electrical panel. Some things that may be done during Electrical Panel Rejuvenation are: - **Circuit Breaker Replacement:** Old circuit breakers can cause a whole host of problems. As they get older they can malfunction more often, so it’s a good idea to replace ones that have aged. - **Rewiring:** Your home’s wiring system may not be set up as efficiently as possible. An electrician conducting Panel Rejuvenation will work to rewire your panel so that it’s running as efficiently as possible. - **Reorganization:** If your panel looks like a jumbled mess, the electrician will reorganize it so that it’s not as confusing to look at. ## Is Your Home Eligible for Electrical Panel Rejuvenation? There are some criteria that homeowners should keep in mind when considering if Electrical Panel Rejuvenation is the right choice for them. If your home is experiencing any of the following, you may be a candidate for rejuvenation. - **Aging Electrical Panel:** Circuit breakers have a lifespan of around 25 years and electrical panels themselves can last from 30-40 years. If your circuit breakers are over a decade old, but your electrical panel is still under 30 years old, electrical panel upgrades can bring a spark of life to your home’s electrical system. - **Frequent Electrical Issues:** If you’ve been experiencing frequent electrical issues such as tripped circuits, overheating panels, or flickering lights, Electrical Panel Rejuvenation could be a great idea for your home. - **Increased Electrical Demands:** If you’ve recently renovated, expanded, or added new appliances to your home, you may want to have your panel looked at to make sure that it can keep up with all of the added stress. A rejuvenation will allow your home to accommodate any upgrades without having to replace your panel entirely. - **Safety Concerns:** Any signs of damage to your electrical panel such as exposed wiring, burning smells, or visible signs of damage should be addressed immediately. During Electrical Panel Rejuvenation, a certified professional will recommend and install any upgrades your panel may need to keep you and your household safe. ## Cost Benefits of Electrical Panel Rejuvenation In addition to making your home safe, Electrical Panel Rejuvenation can also make it more efficient! Here are a few ways that Electrical Panel Rejuvenation can save you money in the long run: - **Replacement Alternative:** The first cost savings that Electrical Panel Rejuvenation can offer is that it is cheaper than completely replacing the entire system. As opposed to a complete overhaul, it’s more of a series of upgrades, potentially saving you thousands. - **Increased Safety:** Avoiding any kind of damage to an aging and malfunctioning electrical panel is potentially a massive cost savings. Electrical fires, shocks, and other hazards that can arise can be devastating financially and emotionally, so it’s better to get ahead of the problem while you can. - **Increased Efficiency:** The new parts installed in your panel during rejuvenation can lead to lower energy costs and increased efficiency in your home. --- ## Interested in Electrical Panel Rejuvenation?

Kicking off our spring season is marvelous March. Our first event this month happened with [River City Food Bank](http://www.rivercityfoodbank.org/) and their annual Empty Bowls program. In previous years, we were lucky enough to get a sink as our bowl! We love working with River City Food Bank and this year’s Empty Bowls event was just as great as ever. One of the many reasons we love helping in our community is getting to see the positive effects that take place. One of our community friends, the [Assistance League of Sacramento](http://www.sacramento.assistanceleague.org/ps.aboutus.cfm?ID=629), has relocated to a new building! We have worked closely with the Assistance League of Sacramento for the past two years now and are happy to announce that we will be donating all time and labor needed to install new plumbing systems in their new building. We have enlisted the help of our vendors in a joint effort to donate all the fixtures as well. This donation will help ensure that the new space is fitted properly and allow the Assistance League to focus on raising funds for its philanthropic programs instead. Coming up towards the end of the month is the [Volunteers of America Hiring Event](http://www.voa-ncnn.org/sacramento). Working with the VOA has been a big part of our hiring process. We work closely with VOA and their STEP program, which links job candidates with our industry. We enjoy working with Volunteers of America because they are a part of our local community. This hiring event will take place on March 27th, 2015. How does the largest Easter Egg Hunt in the world sound? Yeah, we are pretty excited about it as well!

The company reached out to the residents of The Atrium, an assisted living facility in Carmichael, in the form of Valentine’s Day care packages filled with fun gift items. In addition to warm fuzzy socks, sugarless candy, puzzles, face masks in all sorts of colors and hand lotion, the packages included homemade valentines crafted by the employee’s children. Allison Turner, Marketing and Communication Specialist for Bonney, said it was important for the company to spearhead this effort, especially during the COVID-19 quarantine. “Seniors are isolated and missing out on a lot of social activity. What we’re looking forward to is dropping these care packages off so the seniors can celebrate Valentine’s Day and really feel the love of the community.” According to Turner, giving back has always been priority for the company and its employees. Whether it’s in support of seniors, food banks, homeless outreach or other programs, Bonney is known for its philanthropy and community engagement in the Sacramento region. Best of all, these efforts to help others brings the employees together. “I have always found that community efforts are huge as far as team bonding. We wouldn’t normally be interacting with each other on a day to day basis, do to COVID-19 protocols – for us to be able to build these bags for the seniors at The Atrium is important. It brings us together and provides us with perspective that their there is life beyond work. We want to bring smiles to the faces of the seniors that we drop off the care packages to. Paying it forward means the world to us.” Patricia Splinter, the community liaison at The Atrium, said the seniors living in the facility have not had any visitors for close to a year and socialization has been limited with COVID-19 restrictions to keep the residents safe. “These Valentines brought tears to their eyes!” said Splinter. “Since, they haven’t had any of their usual holiday activities for so long, these special gifts were more meaningful and the kid’s writing Valentine’s to them brought back happy memories.” For Bonney, this was a message of love, hope and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. **Categories:** Company News & Press --- ### [When Should I Turn My Furnace Off In The Spring?](https://www.bonney.com/blog/turn-off-furnace/) **Published:** April 14, 2023 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** As we move from winter into spring, you might wonder when you should cut off your furnace. Though you usually shouldn’t turn off your furnace if it’s connected to your air conditioner through a central air system, it can have some benefits when you have a stand-alone furnace. So if you think you might want to turn off your furnace in the spring, take a moment to find out more about if you need to turn it off and when to do so. ## Do You Need to Turn Off Your Furnace? When the temperature outside is hotter than what you’ve set your thermostat to, your furnace won’t typically cycle on. As a result, many homeowners wonder if it’s even worth taking the time to shut off their furnaces in the first place. While it’s not strictly necessary to shut off your furnace, it can be helpful for homes with a furnace that’s not connected to their air conditioning unit. Since your furnace’s pilot light will stay on and use energy when you haven’t shut down your furnace, turning off your furnace can potentially keep your bills lower and reduce your energy usage over spring and summer. Besides lowering your energy bills, cutting off your furnace can ensure that even if someone accidentally switches your thermostat to the heating setting, your heat won’t kick on during a hot summer day. ## Should You Turn Off Your Furnace If It’s Connected to Your Air Conditioner? Though it’s good practice to turn off your furnace in the spring when your AC and furnace are separate, it’s usually not recommended if you have a central HVAC system that connects your AC and furnace. When your furnace is connected to your AC via a central air system, the furnace will likely play an important role in ensuring your AC performs effectively. For example, a central air system often uses a furnace to power the AC’s evaporator coil or the outdoor condenser. Some central air systems also use the furnace’s blower assembly to circulate cool air from the air conditioner throughout a home. When you have a furnace that performs any of these functions for your air conditioner, you shouldn’t turn your furnace off in the spring or summer. If you’re not sure if your furnace is connected to your AC, an [HVAC technician can inspect your system](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) and let you know if it’s a good idea to turn it off or not. ## How Do I Know When I Should Turn My Furnace Off in the Spring? If you have a stand-alone furnace that’s not connected to your AC, you can usually turn it off without causing any problems. While there’s no specific month or day when you should turn it off, a good rule of thumb is to shut it off only after temperatures have started to stay at a consistent 60 degrees or higher. Once the outside temperature is regularly around 60 degrees, light from the sun should keep your home warm enough throughout the day. To shut off your furnace, it’s best practice to either follow your furnace manual’s instructions or [reach out to an HVAC technician](https://www.bonney.com/request-appointment/) to do it for you. Since shutting off a furnace can be complicated, an HVAC technician can ensure it’s been turned off correctly. They can also provide [preventative maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/) after turning your furnace off to prevent wear and tear while it’s not in use. ## Choose Bonney for Furnace Maintenance in Sacramento If you’re looking for furnace maintenance services near you in Sacramento, Bonney can help.

When your HVAC system leaks refrigerant, it will provide poor cooling performance and raise the humidity in your home. Since AC refrigerant is crucial for your HVAC system’s performance, take a moment to learn why you normally shouldn’t need to refill it and how to know what type your AC needs. ## What Is Home Air Conditioner Refrigerant? Home air conditioner refrigerant is a chemical compound that runs through a closed system within your HVAC system. As the refrigerant runs through this system, it absorbs heat from your home’s air and transfers the heat outside once the refrigerant reaches your HVAC system’s outdoor unit. ## Should You Ever Need to Refill Your AC’s Refrigerant? Normally, you should never need to refill your AC’s refrigerant, as your AC should only lose a marginal amount over your system’s lifespan. However, AC refrigerant will sometimes need to be refilled if your AC is leaking refrigerant or [was installed incorrectly](https://www.bonney.com/2022/07/does-my-air-conditioner-need-more-refrigerant/). While you might not immediately notice if your refrigerant levels are low, your AC will perform inefficiently, staying on longer and using more energy to cool your home. Since refrigerant needs to stay at a precise level for your AC to work correctly, we wouldn’t recommend refilling it yourself if you have a leak. Instead, a trained HVAC technician should first [repair your AC](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) to prevent the leakage from continuing and then refill your refrigerant for you. ## How Do I Know What Home AC Refrigerant My System Needs? While you might hear you need more “Freon” when you need to refill your AC’s refrigerant, it’s not the only type of refrigerant used today. In fact, the production and use of Freon, or R-22, has been [phased out by the Environmental Protection Agency](https://www.epa.gov/ods-phaseout/purchasing-and-repairing-home-air-conditioners-or-heat-pumps) (EPA) since it depletes the ozone layer. Due to the EPA’s regulations, HVAC systems made after 2010 no longer use Freon and require a different refrigerant. However, the EPA does allow older systems that rely on R-22 to refill their systems with stockpiled or recycled quantities of the refrigerant. Due to Freon being phased out, newer systems rely on more environmentally-friendly refrigerants. One of the most commonly used home AC refrigerants is R-410A, better known by its brand name Puron. Besides being better for the environment than R-22, this refrigerant absorbs heat more efficiently. Since so many units manufactured after 2010 use Puron, your AC probably uses it if it’s a newer model. ## How Can I Tell Which Refrigerant My AC Uses? To determine what refrigerant works with your system, you’ll simply need to look for a large plate or sticker on your evaporator or compressor. This plate or label will tell you what refrigerant your system is compatible with. After an HVAC technician reviews this sticker, they should be able to refill your system with the correct refrigerant. Remember that you should never refill your system with an incompatible refrigerant, as it can potentially damage your system, hurt your AC’s cooling performance, and, in some cases, even cause [explosions or injuries](https://www.epa.gov/archive/epa/newsreleases/epa-warning-recharging-air-conditioners-wrong-refrigerant-poses-injury-and-fire-risks.html). ## Choose Bonney for AC Services Near You in Sacramento If you think you might have a refrigerant leak and need AC service near you in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, Bonney can help.

Fortunately, home insulation services can prevent these negative effects and provide several benefits. Essentially, home insulation services upgrade your insulation to keep hot or cool air in your home. If you’re looking for insulation services in Sacramento, learn more about the top five benefits of upgrading your home’s insulation. ## 1. More Consistent Indoor Temperatures Gaps, holes, cracks, and other air leaks in your home can impact HVAC air distribution. Without proper insulation throughout your home, you’ll likely notice inconsistent indoor temperatures in different rooms. For example, a properly sealed and insulated room will more easily reach your desired temperature, while one with cracks in the insulation will constantly fluctuate as it releases comfortable air outdoors. Insulation services address this issue by ensuring your home’s rooms don’t allow air to escape. These services also stop cold winter air or hot summer heat from getting inside. After receiving home insulation services, you’ll receive more consistent indoor temperatures, resulting in a more comfortable home year-round. ## 2. Reduced Energy Bills and Greater Energy Efficiency If your home isn’t properly insulated and sealed, the air your HVAC system produces will escape outdoors. This escaped air will cause your HVAC system to work harder to produce enough cool or hot air to keep your home at your set temperature. As a result, your HVAC system will need to work harder and longer to maintain your home’s temperature. Besides raising your energy bills, leaks and damaged insulation will waste energy, reducing your home’s energy efficiency and increasing its environmental footprint. Insulating your home will prevent air from escaping and reduce your energy bills. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency has found that homeowners can save an average of[ 11% on their total energy costs](https://www.energystar.gov/campaign/seal_insulate/methodology) by insulating their homes. Alongside reducing costs, insulation services will lower your home’s environmental footprint by helping your HVAC system run more efficiently. ## 3. Eliminates Indoor Drafts If you’ve ever felt a draft of wind in your home, even though your windows or doors aren’t open, you likely have a problem with your home’s insulation. As more outdoor air breezes into your home, it can push the air your HVAC system has cooled or heated outside. With outdoor air filtering into your home and blowing the inside air out, your home will struggle to stay at the appropriate temperature, and you’ll be less comfortable. Home insulation services solve indoor drafts by fixing damaged insulation cracks that allow wind inside. After the services are completed, you’ll be more comfortable, as wind gusts won’t make it into your home. ## 4. Prevents Moisture When your home’s insulation isn’t in good condition, it won’t just let air in. It can also allow moisture and humidity to get inside and damage your insulation. With home insulation services, you can prevent moisture from leaking into your home and causing greater issues or insulation damage. ## 5. Immediate ROI The effects of updated insulation are immediate. Your home’s HVAC system will not experience as much strain keeping you home at a set temperature. ## Choose Bonney for Insulation Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for home insulation services near you in Sacramento, Bonney has you covered.

Since home repairs and replacement services will cost you money, you’ll likely want to know how to protect yourself from paying too much. Fortunately, you can often lower the cost of service with coupons, rebates, home repair insurance, and tax credits. To ensure you always receive the best deal on home services, check out these five tried-and-true ways to save money on home services. ## 1) Home Repair Insurance One popular way homeowners protect themselves from unexpected breakdowns or repairs is with home repair insurance. In contrast to a standard homeowners insurance policy that usually covers replacement or repair costs due to natural disasters, like fire or storm damage, home repair insurance is much more extensive. Sometimes called home maintenance insurance, home repair insurance will cover the costs of wear and tear to your home’s major appliances and systems. Generally, these policies will cover the following items: - HVAC units, like furnaces and AC units - Indoor plumbing items, such as faucets, pipes, drains, and sinks - Common appliances, including refrigerators, dryers, washing machines, microwaves, and dishwashers - Cable and electrical lines, alongside other wirings systems As you look for a home maintenance insurance policy, keep in mind that they don’t all cover the same types of repair or replacement services. Additionally, policies tend to put a limit on how much they’ll pay to repair or replace a certain item, meaning some home services might exceed your coverage amount. Perhaps most importantly, many home warranty companies make promises to their customers at the expense of service businesses leading repairs. As you might expect, service businesses often refuse these contracts. This process can leave you stuck paying for service from disreputable companies. Due to these differences in coverage, it’s important to carefully review multiple home repair insurance policies and select one that best fits your needs. A [Bonney Beyond membership](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) can help you cover these costs without the hassle of a warranty program. ## 2) Home Service Coupons Before you schedule a repair, it’s always a good idea to check if your service provider offers any coupons. With [home service coupons](https://www.bonney.com/coupons-specials/), you can often save a significant amount of money on repair, replacement, and installation services. Some providers also offer home service discounts for particular groups of people, such as veterans or senior citizens. As a result, it’s worth the time to check with a potential home service provider about their available coupons or specials. ## 3) Tax Credits If your old water heater has broken down or you want to upgrade your air conditioner, you may be able to save money with local, state, or federal tax credits. For example, the federal government offers tax credits to homeowners who replace old home appliances with more energy-efficient models. Come tax season, these tax credits can help increase your tax refund or reduce the amount of tax you owe. Since you can often find new appliances and HVAC units that [qualify for tax credits](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/), you can sometimes save a significant amount of money by checking if a product qualifies before you make a purchase. You may also want to consult your home service provider about tax-credit-qualifying products—or check your local utility company’s website for available offers and rebates. ## 4) HVAC and Plumbing Financing While financing options usually don’t lower the cost of service, they do make it easier to stay within your budget. When you [receive financing for home services](https://www.bonney.com/financing/), you can pay for the service or equipment you’ve purchased over a set period instead of all at once. This ability to pay in set installments makes it possible to pay for a higher-priced service without having to break your budget or dip into your savings. ## 5) Home Service Rebates When you need to replace an old appliance, an easy way to reduce the cost is to take advantage of available rebates from the government. For instance, many water districts offer rebates for homeowners who purchase high-efficiency toilets, while the federal government currently offers a tax rebate on qualifying electrical vehicle charging stations. Essentially, these rebates give you the opportunity to earn money back after purchasing qualifying products, so it’s always a good idea to [check for available rebates](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/) and consult your home service provider. Besides looking for rebates from government entities, some home service providers offer home repair rebates after you sign up for maintenance contracts. For example, those who [sign up for Bonney Beyond](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) receive 15% savings, up to $750 off on all services. Besides this home repair rebate, Bonney Beyond membership provides priority scheduling, four annual inspections, and extended warranties to give homeowners exceptional service at an incredible price. Bonney’s HVAC team also offers an HVAC buyback program. We buy your old system for up to $2,500 with the replacement of a new HVAC system installed by our team. ## Choose Bonney for Cost-Effective Home Services in Sacramento If you’re looking for home services near you in Sacramento, California, Bonney has you covered.

That’s approximately 24,000 teenagers every year who find themselves in need of jobs, a place to live, and a means of transportation to survive. It’s a tenuous time, with statistics showing that more than 25% of former foster children become homeless within two to four years of leaving the system. Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air knows how important it is for youth to have the tools they need to start a successful life on their own. This week, they partnered with the [Assistance League of Sacramento](https://www.assistanceleague.org/sacramento/) to put together starter kits which include cleaning and home essentials in addition to donating vacuums, as well as mops and brooms, to the organization’s Fresh Start program for foster youth transitioning to independent living. These kits allow them to be set up for success when they move into their new apartments. “It’s important for local businesses to support the community..It makes employees feel good; it creates great morale and our entire team loves doing it.” said Candace Bonney, Founder of Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air. The Fresh Start program provides home goods, cleaning supplies, clothing and other essentials to help young people set up a basic household on their own. The program also assists women who are victims of sex-trafficking. For many youth household items – particularly vacuums — are some of the most expensive products needed to set up a home. This program is a critical bridge for former foster youth working to finish their education, develop a career path, and gain sufficient life skills to transition to total independence. The Sacramento area has a lot of non-profit organizations dedicated to many different ways of helping people in need and the Assistance League is a great partner for Bonney. “It’s tough to decide who a business is going to support. We love ALS because it’s essentially a 100% volunteer and every dollar we give goes to people in need,” Bonney said. For more information on the Fresh Start program, visit the Assistance League [website](https://www.assistanceleague.org/sacramento/philanthropic-programs/fresh-start-2/) and for more on ways Bonney helps community organizations throughout the year, follow them on their social media channels. **Categories:** Company News & Press --- ### [Why Is My Pilot Light Out? Furnace Repair Insight](https://www.bonney.com/blog/why-is-my-pilot-light-out-furnace-repair-insight/) **Published:** December 23, 2022 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** If your furnace uses a pilot light rather than an electronic ignition system, you need the pilot light to stay on if you want to receive warm air from your furnace. When your pilot light goes out, your system won’t have an ignition source for your furnace’s burners, making it so your furnace can’t produce heat. Since a pilot light is essential to a furnace’s performance, it’s important you know the different reasons why your pilot light might be out and what to do to fix them. ## What Is a Pilot Light? A furnace’s pilot light is a small blue flame located in your furnace’s combustion chamber. This flame ignites the natural gas that’s released through a valve and pumped into your furnace’s burner. By igniting the natural gas, your furnace pilot light allows your furnace to generate heat and spread it through your home. ## 5 Reasons Your Pilot Light Is Out If your pilot light is out, you’ll likely want to know why it’s not working and how to fix it. As you look for a fix to an out pilot light, review the top five reasons pilot lights tend to go out below: ### 1. Dirty Pilot Opening The flame of your pilot light comes out of a pilot opening. When this opening is dirty, it can cause the flame to wave, become unstable, or go out entirely. Since a dirty or clogged pilot light will make it difficult for your pilot light’s flame to stay on or get hot enough to ignite the gas properly, it’s crucial your pilot opening stays clean and clear of obstructions. If you have a clogged or dirty pilot opening, an HVAC technician can clean out the opening for you. During their cleaning, they’ll need to shut off your system before they start to ensure safety. After they clean out the opening, your pilot light’s flame should look cone-shaped and blue. ### 2. Bent Thermocouple When your pilot light is on, the flame will reach a copper rod called the thermocouple. This thermocouple is a safety device responsible for sensing the flame and shutting off gas if your pilot light goes out. Sometimes, thermocouples can bend and not be in reach of the flame. The thermocouple’s flame-sensing mechanism will then shut off your furnace to prevent gas from reaching your home. Fortunately, an HVAC technician can usually solve this issue by simply bending the thermocouple back into its proper position. ### 3. Dirty Thermocouple Dust or dirt build-up on your thermocouple can cause it to not properly sense the flame. As a result, your furnace will shut off out of safety. An HVAC technician can fix a dirty thermocouple for you by shutting off your furnace’s power, waiting for the furnace to cool off, and then cleaning the thermocouple rod. ### 4. Damaged Thermocouple If your thermocouple is damaged, it won’t detect your furnace’s flame and will cause the pilot light to go out. While a bent or dirty thermocouple can usually be fixed with a quick rebending or cleaning, a damaged thermocouple will usually need to be replaced. Over time, any thermocouple will start to wear down, so it’s often more effective to replace the thermocouple instead of repairing it. When you think your thermocouple is damaged, you can trust an HVAC technician to swap out your old thermocouple with a new one. ### 5. Cracked Heat Exchanger Perhaps one of the most concerning causes of a failed pilot light is a cracked heat exchanger. Cracks in your heat exchanger could release the natural gas that fuels your furnace. Without a steady supply of gas, your pilot light will go out. However, the greater concern here is the implications it can have on your health. If left unchecked, a cracked furnace heat exchanger issue can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning as the natural gas leaks into your home. If you suspect that your Sacramento furnace may have a gas leak, evacuate your home and call PG&E first (1-800-743-5000). Once they confirm your safety, call the gas leak and repair technicians at Bonney (800-444-0551). Your smoke alarms should contain carbon monoxide detectors, which is why it is essential to [check them regularly](https://www.bonney.com/2021/07/check-smoke-detectors/). The [US Fire Administration](https://www.usfa.fema.gov/) also suggests replacing your smoke detectors every 10 years—even if they still seem to function properly. An HVAC professional can also safeguard you from this issue by catching it early during your [annual tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/). ## Choose Bonney for Furnace Repair Services in Sacramento If your pilot light is out and you’re looking for furnace repair services near you in Sacramento, California, Bonney has you covered.

Any homeowner should be aware of the main signs of water heater failure so they can take action before their water heater stops working entirely or an initially minor problem spirals out of control. As you attempt to keep your water heater in the best shape possible, learn more about the top five signs your unit is failing or needs a water heater repair. ## 1) You Only Receive Hot Water for a Short Period If you’ve noticed your hot water runs out of hot water faster than it used to (and your usage hasn’t gone up), you probably have an issue with your water heater. Too much sediment build-up in your tank is the most likely cause of low hot water levels. When you haven’t had a professional flush your water heater in the last year, sediment will accumulate at the bottom and start to take up space that would normally be used to store hot water. Fortunately, you can often prevent water heater failure by scheduling a water heater flush. A trained plumber can flush out the sediment from your tank and ensure there’s no build-up taking up too much space. However, if you haven’t flushed your water heater for a long time, you may run the [risk of internal tank rust](https://www.bonney.com/2022/10/why-your-water-heater-needs-service-each-fall/) that could cause leaks. As a result, it’s important to continue to schedule water heater flushes to prevent premature water heater failure due to rust. ## 2) Your Water Heater Tank Is Leaking Speaking of rust and water heater leaks, another key sign that your water heater is in bad shape is if the water heater tank is leaking water. When you notice any puddles or damp areas near your water heater, you’ll need a water heater inspection immediately. A leaking water heater will only continue to get worse and waste water, with this water potentially damaging your home if the leak is bad enough, Usually, sediment build-up, rust, poor maintenance, or aging cause water heater leaks. They can also sometimes be caused by too much pressure build-up in the tank, with this pressure putting you at risk of a severe leak. While some leaks can be repaired, a leak will often mean you need a water heater replacement. Alongside immediately calling a plumber if you notice a leak, it’s also crucial to prioritize professional maintenance to prevent leaks from happening in the first place. ## 3) Your Hot Water Looks Discolored or Smells Bad Your hot water should be clear when it comes out of your taps. If it looks muddy or rust-colored, you likely have an issue with your anode rod. Your water heater’s anode rod is designed to break down over time, as it attracts rust away from your water heater’s tank. Over time, your [anode rod will disintegrate entirely](https://www.bonney.com/2021/02/sacrificial-anode-rods/), leading rust to get into your water. Fortunately, you can prevent rust from damaging your tank by having a plumber replace your anode rod. Once you notice discolored water, contact a plumber to inspect your tank and replace the anode rod to prevent your tank from rusting. If you notice that your hot water smells bad, you’ll also want a full water heater inspection from a plumber, as there could be [multiple reasons for the smell](https://www.bonney.com/2021/09/water-smells-bad/). ## 4) Your Water Never Reaches a High Enough Temperature If you love taking hot showers, you’ll likely notice if your water can’t ever get past a lukewarm temperature. Sometimes, this could be due to your water heater temperature being set too low, so you want to turn the temperature up as long as you [don’t exceed 120 degrees Fahrenheit](https://www.bonney.com/2021/02/water-not-getting-hot/). Since a temperature over 120 degrees can [lead to scalding](https://www.bonney.com/2021/02/raise-water-heater-temp/), always consult with a plumber before raising your water heater’s temperature above that mark. When your water heater is already set to 120 degrees, you may have a cracked dip tube. This tube sends cold water to the bottom of your tank, where it will warm up before it reaches the top and gets directed to your taps. However, if the dip tube is cracked, cold water can go to the top of the tank, where it won’t have time to heat up. Typically, a plumber can fix this issue by replacing the dip tube. ## 5) You’re Not Receiving Hot Water at All Perhaps the most obvious sign of water heater failure is if you’re not receiving hot water at all. First, however, you should make sure your circuit breaker hasn’t tripped and cut off power to the water heater. If your circuit breaker is working and sending power to your water heater, you likely have a problem with a damaged water heater thermostat or heating element. To fix the issue, you’ll need to contact a plumber to repair or replace whatever part is causing the water heater to not warm up your water. ## Choose Bonney for Water Heater Repair and Replacement Services in Sacramento If you notice any of the signs listed above and are looking for water heater services near you in Sacramento, California, Bonney has you covered.

When refrigerant starts to leak from your AC, it can reduce your AC’s cooling power, increase your energy bills, freeze your evaporator coils, and raise your indoor humidity levels. If you want to avoid these negative effects, it’s crucial you know the main signs of a refrigerant leak and schedule an air conditioner repair as fast as possible. ## The 5 Main Signs You Have a Refrigerant Leak While refrigerant leaks have several causes, you don’t have to know what caused the leak to know you might have one. By knowing the five main signs of a refrigerant leak, you can take action quickly before the problem spirals out of control. Find out more about these signs below: ### 1. High Indoor Humidity Levels A properly functioning air conditioner will remove warm air and dehumidify your home. When an air conditioner has a refrigerant leak, the AC won’t be able to remove warm air, leading to higher humidity levels in your home. Besides making your skin feel clammy and causing your home’s atmosphere to feel heavy and warm, high humidity levels can lead to mold growth and health problems. If you notice high humidity levels in your home, it’s time for a professional to check your AC for a refrigerant leak. ### 2. Poor Cooling Power Since refrigerant is responsible for absorbing heat and removing it from your home, a leak can significantly impact your AC’s cooling power. A loss of refrigerant will make it harder for your AC to cool your home, causing it to run longer to reach your desired temperature. Eventually, a leak can cause the AC to not blow any cool air at all. To keep your AC running at its best, you’ll want to schedule an inspection as soon as it starts losing power. ### 3. Hissing or Bubbling Sounds From Your Outdoor Unit One of the biggest causes of refrigerant leaks is cracks in the coils responsible for circulating refrigerant. If the cracks are smaller, your outdoor AC unit will make hissing sounds, while a larger crack will produce bubbling or gurgling sounds. Any time you notice bubbling or hissing sounds coming from your outdoor unit, you may have a refrigerant leak that you should take action on fast. ### 4. Increased Energy Bills Since refrigerant leaks cause your AC to work harder to cool your home, a leak can also raise your electricity bills. As the AC struggles to cool your home, it will run longer and use up more electricity. When your electric bills spike and your AC never can seem to keep your home at the right temperature, it’s time to have your AC checked for a refrigerant leak. ### 5. Frozen Evaporator Coils Frozen evaporator coils are another main sign of a refrigerant leak. If your refrigerant is at the right level, it will pass through your evaporator coils, absorbing heat. However, when the levels are low, condensation on the coils won’t dissipate and will begin to freeze. Since frozen evaporator coils can cause a full system breakdown, you’ll want to schedule an inspection and AC repair if you notice melted water dripping from your AC. ## Choose Bonney for Air Conditioner Repair in Sacramento If you think you have a refrigerant leak and need of AC repairs near you in Sacramento, Bonney can help.

By 2025, the City of Sacramento aims to have over [75,000 zero-emission EVs on the road](https://www.cityofsacramento.org/Public-Works/Electric-Vehicle-Initiatives) to curtail greenhouse gas emissions. If you own an EV or are considering purchasing one, it’s important to know what Sacramento’s push for EVs means for drivers and the advantages you can receive by investing in an EV or at-home EV charger. ## What Does Sacramento Going Electric Mean for Drivers? As Sacramento and the rest of California continue to push for widespread EV adoption, drivers can expect to see new incentives and rules that encourage or require EV usage. While you consider whether you should purchase an EV in the near future, review some of the main pieces of information drivers should know about Sacramento going electric below: - **EV buyers can receive rebates and other financial incentives:** If you’re considering purchasing an EV, there’s no better time than now. Since the city wants to encourage people to go electric, they’re currently offering several financial incentives and rebates to reduce the costs of purchasing an EV. For example, the [California Clean Vehicle Rebate Project](https://cleanvehiclerebate.org/en) provides significant rebates for those who purchase or lease an EV. Currently, you can also receive an [instant rebate of $750](https://www.smud.org/en/Going-Green/Electric-Vehicles/Residential) through the Sacramento Municipal Utility District (SMUD) when purchasing or leasing a new plug-in EV. - **Ride-hailing drivers must go electric:** Due to a new law from the California Air Resources Board, ride-hailing businesses, such as Uber and Lyft, must have [90% of their drivers’ miles](https://www.govtech.com/policy/calif-uber-lyft-drivers-must-start-going-electric-in-2023) come from EVs by 2030. If you drive for Uber, Lyft, or any other ride-hailing business in Sacramento, you’ll likely need to switch to an electric vehicle soon to continue driving for one of these companies. Before you invest in an EV, check with your ride-hailing employer and the city to see if you can receive any discounts or other financial incentives when switching. - **EV homeowners can receive special financing for EV charger installation:** If you own a home in Sacramento, you can receive special financing for EV charging installation through state-wide and local programs. Through these programs, you can often purchase an EV charger for your home for [little or no upfront costs](http://www.cityofsacramento.org/Public-Works/Facilities/Sustainability/Green-Energy-Financing-and-PACE-Programs) and receive advantageous financing options. As a result, EV drivers can invest in an affordable EV charging station for their homes, giving them the convenience and affordability of at-home EV charging at a lower cost. ## How a Home Charging Station Can Prepare You for an Electric Sacramento With the various incentives for Sacramento residents to go electric, you can expect to see more electric vehicles on the road in the coming years. While the city aims to include more charging stations and improve its EV infrastructure, the increase in EV adoption will likely raise the demand from drivers who need to use these stations to charge their vehicles. Instead of worrying about waiting in long lines to charge your vehicle, you can make charging your electric vehicle convenient by investing in an at-home EV charging station. EV chargers also can raise your home value and lower the costs of charging your vehicle, leading to [long-term savings](https://www.bonney.com/2022/03/the-pros-and-cons-of-public-vs-at-home-ev-charging-stations/). Additionally, it’s a great time to purchase a new EV charging station due to available rebates. For example, SMUD currently offers homeowners up to [$1,000 in rebates](https://www.smud.org/en/Going-Green/Electric-Vehicles/Residential) for EV charging equipment and installation costs. ## Choose Bonney for EV Charging Installation in Sacramento If you want to receive EV charging installation services in Sacramento or the surrounding areas, turn to Bonney.

Whether you want to discourage burglars from targeting your home or prevent accidents on your property due to poor lighting, professionally installed outdoor lights are an excellent solution. If you’re thinking of investing in professional outdoor lighting installation, take a moment to learn more about the security benefits of outdoor security lights. ## 1: Increases Visibility at Entrances and Exits With an outdoor lighting system that covers your home’s entrances, exits, and windows, any intruder will have to expose themselves to a well-lit environment during a home invasion. Since burglars typically don’t want anyone to notice them, well-lit access points into and out of your home can significantly deter intruders. This increased visibility also makes it easier for a security camera to identify burglars and can increase the chance a neighbor spots suspicious behavior on your property while you’re away. ## 2: Makes your Home Look Occupied Most burglars want their robbery to be as fast and uncomplicated as possible. As a result, they’re more likely to target homes when no one’s around. Outdoor lighting reduces the risk of your home being targeted, as it can make it look like you’re home, even if you’re gone on a family vacation or spending a late night out. This illusion of someone being home will cause the vast majority of burglars to look elsewhere for their robbery. In fact, a [study done by Crime Lab](https://urbanlabs.uchicago.edu/projects/crime-lights-study) in partnership with New York City officials found that increased lighting led to a 36% decrease in “index crimes” like robbery. ## 3: Illuminates Hiding Spots Before an intruder breaks into a home, they’ll often take some time to scope out the house and learn the habits of its occupants. With security lights installed at your home, you can illuminate darker areas where a burglar could hide and watch your home. By lighting up potential hiding spots, burglars are more likely to look for another home they can watch more easily. ## 4: Reduces Risk of Accidents Besides lowering the threat of burglaries, outdoor security lighting reduces the risks of accidents at your home. Without good lighting around your property, people are more likely to trip or fall while out at night. A good lighting system makes it easier for your family and guests to see where they’re walking, helping you reduce the risk of accidents and injuries at your home. ## Other Outdoor Lighting Considerations From increasing visibility at entrances and making it look like your home is occupied to illuminating hiding spots and reducing the risk of accidents, professional outdoor lighting is an easy way to improve your home’s safety. However, you might be wondering about the extra energy costs. [Upgrading your home to LED lighting](https://www.bonney.com/2022/01/2022-home-upgrades/) can actually save you money while protecting the environment. According to the [Department of Energy](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/led-lighting), this [eco-friendly home service](https://www.bonney.com/2022/04/5-eco-friendly-home-services-to-consider-this-earth-day/) can decrease the energy consumption of your lighting by 75+ percent. ## Choose Bonney for Professional Outdoor Lighting Installation in Sacramento If you need professional outdoor lighting in Sacramento, Rancho Cordova, Folsom, Rocklin, Natomas, Roseville, or surrounding areas, choose Bonney.

If you’re a homeowner wondering how you can take action this Earth Day, one of the easiest ways to do so is to invest in some eco-friendly home services. Whether you want to waste less water or consume less energy, these five home services can positively affect the environment. ## 1. Programmable Thermostat Installation With a programmable thermostat, you can set your home’s thermostat to only kick into high gear when you actually need it. For example, if you’re away from your home from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., you can use a programmable thermostat to schedule your AC to always be set to a higher temperature while you’re gone and a lower temperature while you’re at home. Greater control over your HVAC system will help control energy consumption and help lower your utility bills. ## 2. HVAC System Update As an HVAC system ages, it will become less energy-efficient and can struggle to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. The system’s poor energy efficiency will cause you to consume far more power than you actually need, raising your energy bills and carbon footprint. This Earth Day, reduce your energy consumption by replacing your old HVAC system with a [new, more efficient model](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/). With an upgraded HVAC system, you’ll have less impact on the environment and experience lower utility bills throughout the year. ## 3. EV Charger Installation If you have an electric vehicle (EV) or are considering purchasing one soon, an [at-home EV charger](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/) is a must-have. [Home EV Chargers](https://www.bonney.com/2022/03/the-pros-and-cons-of-public-vs-at-home-ev-charging-stations/) are not only better for the environment, but they are also a more convenient and [affordable charging solution](https://www.bonney.com/2021/12/ev-chargers-pay-for-themselves/) for homeowners. Installing a home EV charging station provides you the convenience of knowing your vehicle is fully powered for your next drive. Fortunately, at-home EV chargers solve this issue, encouraging more people to invest in an eco-friendly electric vehicle instead of sticking to a car that runs on fossil fuels. ## 4. High-Efficiency Toilet Installation If you have a toilet installed prior to the 1990s, it likely uses about 3.5 to six gallons of water every time you flush. Even if you have a newer toilet that meets California’s requirements for a 1.6-gallons per flush model, more energy-efficient toilets are available to you. Water conservation is essential for California homeowners, a new [high-efficiency toilet](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/toilets/) is an excellent investment. The latest models only use 1.1 gallons per flush, helping you conserve water and reduce your water bill. ## Choose Bonney for Eco-Friendly Home Services in Sacramento If you want to make a difference this Earth Day and live in Sacramento, Concord, or the surrounding areas, invest in eco-friendly home services from Bonney. Our team of experts can provide eco-friendly installation or replacement services. From high-efficiency toilets to EV chargers and upgraded HVAC systems, we can help you find and implement the greenest option for your home.

Fortunately, investing in a mini-split air conditioner installation can do the trick. Since a mini-split system can make a great addition to a garage, shed, workshop, or room without central AC, learn more about how these systems work and their main benefits. ## What Are Mini-Split AC Systems? Unlike a traditional air conditioner where a single unit distributes air throughout the ducts in your home, mini-split AC systems don’t require air ducts to work. Instead, mini-split units are individually installed in specific rooms or small stand-alone structures to provide temperature regulation. These units come with an individual fan and evaporator coil and are connected to an outdoor unit via a refrigerant line. They also feature cooling and heating settings, ensuring you can always stay comfortable, no matter the season. ## 5 Advantages of Mini-Split AC Systems Ductless mini-split AC systems provide several advantages to homeowners who have smaller rooms or stand-alone structures that need air conditioning but don’t have any ducts. Besides being great for ductless homes or rooms, mini-split AC systems also offer energy-efficient temperature regulation, multiple placement options, quiet operation, and exceptional indoor air quality. Learn more about the top five benefits of these systems below: ### 1. Convenient Air Conditioning in Traditionally Difficult to Cool Areas If you’re trying to add air conditioning to a workroom, garage, shed, or other room without air ducts, it can be incredibly costly and time-consuming to install a central AC system to cool it. Unlike central AC systems, a mini-split system is easy to install in hard-to-cool rooms and will start working immediately without needing any ducts installed. Due to their ductless design, these systems conveniently cool a room or small stand-alone structure without requiring you to pay for expensive installation for another type of AC unit. ### 2. Energy-Efficient Cooling Compared to central ACs, mini-split AC systems tend to offer more energy efficiency. Since mini-split units work independently, you can keep one running while turning the rest off. With AC mini splits installed throughout your home, you can reduce your energy consumption by only turning them on when you need them. This efficiency keeps your energy costs low and reduces your carbon footprint. ### 3. Small Size and Different Placement Options Though some mini-split models are designed to stand on the floor, you can find many models that can hang off a wall or be suspended from a ceiling. These different placement options make it easy for you to find a location for them that fits your aesthetic preferences. These units are also small, making them a discreet cooling or heating option. ### 4. Quiet Operation Another advantage of mini-split systems is the minimal noise they produce. While older models might be loud, newer mini-split systems tend to have their fans run at lower speeds, reducing their noise while still giving effective cooling or heating. Besides mini-split systems’ minimal fan noise, their condenser is located in their outdoor unit to keep their operation quiet. ### 5. Exceptional Air Quality When you have a central AC system, your air will have to pass through ducts where it will pick up debris, dust, pollen, and dirt. When the air exits your ducts, it will spread anything it picked up into your home. Mini-split AC units don’t rely on ducts and usually have a filtration system, meaning they deliver better air quality. Since these units won’t put allergens, bacteria, dust, or other debris into your air, you’ll breathe easier with one of these units installed in your home. ## Choose Bonney for Mini-Split Air Conditioner Installation in Sacramento If you need mini-split air conditioner installation in Sacramento, Concord, or the surrounding areas, turn to Bonney. Our team of HVAC professionals is trained to install any brand of mini-split systems, such as those from Mitsubishi and Fujitsu.

Since these charging stations have some equipment and installation costs, you might not know if they’re worth the investment. Before you make a decision, take a moment to find out how at-home EV charging stations pay for themselves. ## The Costs of Charging Your EV at Home One of the biggest draws to at-home EV charging stations is how affordably they charge vehicles. For example, the US Department of Energy found that charging an electric vehicle with an at-home station costs only [$0.04 for each mile of charge](https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_charging_home.html) if your vehicle uses 33 kWh for every 100 miles traveled and your electricity costs 0.13 per kWh. While this number can change based on your local energy costs and your vehicle, the bottom line is that at-home charging stations give you affordable energy. ## Do Residential Electric Vehicle Chargers Pay for Themselves? As you decide if an at-home electric vehicle charger is right for you, you might want to know more about what makes them a cost-effective investment. Besides an [at-home chargers convenience](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/a-guide-to-electric-vehicle-home-charging-stations/), it’s also a smart financial decision. For example, at-home chargers are cheaper than public charging stations, can increase your home’s value, and help you reduce your battery and mileage use. Find out more about how at-home vehicle chargers offset their initial investment costs and pay for themselves below: - **Lower energy costs than public charging stations**: In general, public charging stations will be more expensive than at-home charging stations, as they’ll charge a markup for the electricity you purchase from them. While you can sometimes find free public charging stations, they’re fairly rare and can sometimes be located in parking garages that require you to pay for the time you spend parked. As a result, the savings you gain from charging your EV with an at-home charging station can exceed the station’s initial installation and equipment costs in the long run. - **Reduced mileage and battery usage:** When you rely on public charging stations to charge your EV, you’ll have to drive over to them constantly to get a new charge. By having an at-home charger, you can save money by not having to pay for the energy you’d use up driving to and from a public charging station. Keeping your EV’s mileage lower can also help your vehicle stay in better shape and out of your mechanic’s garage, resulting in reduced maintenance costs. - **Increased home value:** Alongside the lower costs of charging your EV with an at-home vehicle charger than relying on public chargers, EV chargers also pay for themselves by [increasing your home’s value](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/). Since more people are turning to EVs over gas-guzzling vehicles, a home with an already installed electrical vehicle charger can be very attractive to buyers. As a result, you can potentially sell your home for more when you invest in an EV charger, helping you make back your initial expenses. Since at-home EV charging stations tend to charge your vehicle for so little money compared to public options, reduce your EV’s mileage and battery usage, and increase your home value, they can end up paying for themselves. While you’ll have to make an investment in a [new EV charging station](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/) and pay for a trained electrician to install it, purchasing one of these stations is financially worth it in the long run. ## Choose Bonney for At-Home Charging Station Installation and Maintenance Services in Sacramento and Concord.

We can [evaluate your needs](https://www.bonney.com/2021/08/a-guide-to-electric-vehicle-home-charging-stations/), help you find an exceptional at-home charging station, and then install it for you to ensure you can charge your EV in the most cost-effective and convenient way possible.

Unfortunately, furnaces don’t last forever, and you’ll eventually need to replace your furnace with a new one to ensure your home stays warm over the coldest months of the year. By knowing the main signs of needing a new furnace, you can take action fast before your furnace breaks down when you need it most or your energy costs become unmanageable. ## 6 Signs You Need a New Furnace Any furnace will need to be replaced eventually, and it’s essential homeowners know when their old furnace is showing signs it’s ready to retire. Find out more about the six main signs you need a new furnace below: ### 1) You Begin Seeing High Energy Bills A furnace uses a lot of energy to heat your home, and as it grows older, it will usually start to be much less energy efficient. If your energy bills are higher than last year and your energy company hasn’t raised its rates, your old furnace might be at fault. Replacing your old furnace with a new one can help you lower your energy bills, with the new furnace potentially paying for itself in energy savings. ### 2) Your Furnace Requires Frequent Repairs When a furnace starts to reach the end of its life, it will need more frequent repairs. If you’ve noticed your unit has required lots of furnace repairs over the last two years, it’s usually time to replace it. Since continuing to repair an older unit will increase your expenses, it’s usually more cost-effective to replace the furnace. ### 3) You Hear Strange Noises Coming From Your Furnace If you hear strange noises after turning on your furnace, it might be time to replace it. Banging, rattling, or popping noises can all be signs your furnace is starting to break down. Before you replace the unit, have a professional inspect it to see where the noises are coming from and give you advice on whether you should repair or replace it. ### 4) Your Home Struggles to Maintain a Consistent Temperature When rooms in your home are always too cold or too hot, you might need to replace your furnace. A damaged furnace won’t properly heat all the rooms in your home, leading to large temperature swings in different rooms. While this improper temperature distribution might be an issue with your thermostat instead, you’ll want to hire an HVAC professional to inspect your system and see if your furnace is causing the issue. ### 5) You Notice Rust or Cracks on Your Furnace As your furnace ages, it will likely start to rust or develop cracks in it. If you notice corrosion or other signs of damage, you may need to replace your unit. You can hire an HVAC professional to perform a furnace service inspection and tell you what they recommend to help you decide if it’s time for a replacement. ### 6) Your Furnace is Getting Old The average life of an electric furnace is 15 years, and the life expectancy of a gas furnace is between 12 and 15 years. When your furnace is approaching the 15 or 18-year mark, you’ll want to keep an eye on it to see if it’s starting to show signs it’s beginning to break down or become inefficient. If you’ve started to notice performance issues or have to constantly repair the unit, you’ll likely need a furnace replacement. ## What to Do If You Need a New Furnace If your furnace shows any of the signs listed above, it’s best practice to hire a certified technician to inspect your unit. After they inspect the unit, they should give you a recommendation about [whether it needs repairs or a replacement](https://www.bonney.com/heating/broken-heater-or-ac-repair-or-replace/). A great technician will also walk you through your replacement options and help you find a furnace able to handle your home’s unique heating needs. ## Choose Bonney for New Furnace Installation in Sacramento When you need furnace replacement in Sacramento, turn to Bonney.

Not only are water smells unpleasant and embarrassing, but they can also signify an underlying issue in your home. The plumbing professionals at Bonney are here to help you understand why your water is smelling bad and what you can do to address foul water smells. ## Dirty Drains and Pipes Sometimes, foul-smelling water has nothing to do with your water at all. One of the most common sources of water smells is dirty pipes and drains. Your pipes and drains accumulate a variety of contaminants that can live dormant beneath the surface. When you turn your water on, it stirs up bacteria, debris, and decay—along with their odors. In these cases, a [routine drain cleaning service](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) can often resolve your bad water smells. Unfortunately, when a home is left unused, empty, or for sale for an extended period of time, smelly drains and pipes may require a replacement. For example, if the pipes under the kitchen sink have been left holding expired food, the smell can actually begin to permeate the pipe. Additionally, the airgap drain (or dishwasher drain) is a common target of food build-up and odor. To prevent this issue, scrape as much food off your dishes and into the garbage as possible. Although many dishwashers advertise that their product works without pre-cleaning, this practice can help protect your plumbing and drains. One final cause of smelly drains and pipes is under the garbage disposal rubber gasket. The underside and down into the disposal can become caked with slimy rotten food particles. To eliminate this problem, use a rag or sponge with a good cleaning solution. Make sure to unplug the unit first to avoid injury. ### *How to Test For Drain and Pipe Smells* How can you tell if water smells are coming from your drains? To test for this problem, fill a glass up with your problem water, and bring it to another room. If it no longer carries a smell, the issue likely is with your drains and pipes. In this case, you might also notice that water only smells in certain plumbing fixtures. ## Smelly Water and Water Heater Troubles Without proper care, [water heaters](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) can host hydrogen sulfide gas. This substance is notorious for carrying a rotten egg smell. Let’s take a look at why your water heater may create an unpleasant odor: ### *Stagnant water* Do you take frequent, long vacations? Was your home sitting idle on the market for a while before you bought it? Stagnant water can foster bacteria in the dark, warm, wet environment of your water heater. In these cases, you will need a professional water heater flush to eliminate the smell. How can you prevent this issue? Setting your water heater at too low of a temperature will invite bacterial growth. When you head out of town, we recommend leaving the temperature up. ### *Sacrificial anode rod* How does the metal water heater tank stay protected from water corrosion? The key is a [sacrificial anode rod](https://www.bonney.com/2021/02/sacrificial-anode-rods/). This rod runs through the length of your water heater with a metal less noble than your tank. Corrosion will attack this metal while leaving your tank untouched. However, certain anode rods can react with water’s natural bacteria and sediments to create hydrogen sulfide gas. This will be released each time you use your water heater. Incompatible sacrificial anode rods are the most common cause of smells in residential water. In these cases, you may need a new sacrificial anode rod made up of different metals. It may take a couple of tries before you find the right combination for your water heater. As you have a new anode rod installed, you will need a water heater flush to remove the old sediments and bacteria. ### *Water softening systems* Hard water can create chaos for your home and your appliances. Many homeowners respond with a water softening system. However, water softening systems can negatively react with magnesium anode rods—putting your water heater at risk and creating sulfide gas in your unit. When a professional plumber installs your water softening system, they will check to ensure your water heater does not have a magnesium rod. However, this is a common error among homeowners with DIY water softening systems. ### *Is Smelly Water Bad For Your Health?* There is no question that hydrogen sulfide water smells bad—but is it also bad for your health? The concentration in drinking water is often so low that it will not cause any health effects—according to [Purdue University](https://www.extension.purdue.edu/extmedia/wq/wq-11.html). Additionally, hydrogen sulfide is a gas at room temperature, which means you are not likely to ingest this substance. Instead, it will evaporate away. However, at high concentrations or prolonged exposure, Hydrogen sulfide can cause severe health risks and side effects, outlined [here by the CDC](https://wwwn.cdc.gov/TSP/MMG/MMGDetails.aspx?mmgid=385&toxid=67). Even without health risks, hydrogen sulfide can create or contribute to a variety of problems for your home. It is known to discolor silverware, lessen the cleaning power of your laundry detergent, corrode the exposed metal parts in your dishwasher and washing machine—among other inconveniences. ### *How to Test For Water Heater Smells* Is your water smell coming from your hot water heater? Here is a simple way to check. Turn on your cold water tap only. Does it produce the same smell as your hot or warm water? If not, the smell is probably originating from your water heater. ## Source Water Smells Areas like Sacramento are lucky enough to have highly filtered water supplies. Other communities might rely on well water or poor water filtration plants. If you cannot trace your water smells to your water heater or pipes, it might be a problem with your supply. These issues are easy to address with [home water systems](https://www.bonney.com/2020/09/home-water-systems/). [Whole-house filters](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-systems/) can remove the sediments and bacteria leading to poor water quality and smells. ## Bonney Plumbing, Sewer, and Drain Service in Sacramento The plumbers at Bonney have the water solutions you need in your Sacramento-area home or business.

BonneyU’s 10-week training program will give students more than 400 hours of hands-on experience. “There is a need for talented installers and technicians in our industry and we saw an opportunity to encourage people to get involved in the trades and also build Bonney’s future workforce”, said Nick Horn, Chief Operations Officer at Bonney. “Our hope is that students will leave the program ready to join our team and eventually, as the program succeeds, create a talented workforce for other companies in the region.” According to the[ Bureau of Labor Statistics](https://www.bls.gov/ooh/installation-maintenance-and-repair/heating-air-conditioning-and-refrigeration-mechanics-and-installers.htm#tab-6), employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to grow 4% from 2019 to 2029. Careers in the industry have competitive salaries, a low barrier to entry (no need to pay for a costly college degree) and the potential for career growth. “The past year has shown that those who work in the trades are indispensable members of our community – they keep our daily lives afloat,” said Peter Meadows, Human Resources Director at Bonney. “At Bonney we want to ensure that when a technician arrives at a customer’s home they are highly trained and will deliver the best possible service to our customers. We are training the next generation of talented trades workers to keep our community going through good times and bad.” The first cohort began classes in June at Bonney’s headquarters in Rancho Cordova with traditional classroom instruction as well as hands-on training. During the accelerated BonneyU program, students will spend 40 hours per week learning in real-life scenarios, taught by Bonney’s industry experts. The program is structured to give students a taste of the variety of environments that a plumbing installer will be working in and the key tasks and skills that they need to be successful. The aggressive approach allows students to become skilled technicians in less time than a traditional apprenticeship program, which usually takes two years. Because of the fast-tracked nature of the program, BonneyU is ideal for people starting their careers or those who have taken time off or are looking for a career change. “We are committed to creating a pathway to employment and also encourage people to consider careers in the trades,” said Horn. “With this program, Bonney will not only help build that future workforce but will also continue to have the best-trained heating and air team in the community.” For more information on BonneyU or to apply online, please visit:[ ](https://www.bonney.com/) **About Bonney Plumbing, Electrical, Heating and Air** Bonney is the name you can always trust to make sure your home is the most comfortable place it can be.

She always lends a sympathetic ear and gives our customers a sense of relief when they call with a plumbing or HVAC issue. She’s a rock star! (She also loves to drink Rockstar, which might explain her bubbly personality). The customer from West Sacramento told Theresa they had no hot water coming from their faucets. A cold shower first thing in the morning is not the best way to kick off the day. Brrrrr! The customer thought the problem may have something to do with their water heater. Bonney already had a plumbing technician wrapping up a job in West Sacramento. Theresa informed the customer, “Oh, I see we have a plumbing technician ready to go in your area, we can have him out to your house within’ 30-45 minutes.” The customer was thrilled about that! Theresa replied, “Super Service, am I right?” She added, “Stay on the phone a little longer and we can teleport him!” Theresa has a great sense of humor and always puts our customers at ease. Our premier certified plumber Landrel T., diagnosed the problem and replaced the pilot light assembly and the customer had hot water flowing within’ an hour.

If you are thinking that a new heating and air purchase is in your future it may be a good time to get ahead of the game and take advantage of this incentive. A new furnace and air conditioner can save you money in other ways. If your current system is at least 10 years old you may be able to cut your cooling bill drastically as well as your heating bill. Even the most basic systems use less energy than ones installed a decade ago. Plus with modern requirements on duct work installation and duct testing we can dramatically improve comfort as well as efficiency. It is amazing what dramatic effects can be achieved simply by sealing duct work. So how does the tax credit work? Well, it is not a rebate or deduction but rather a nonrefundable credit. So when you have qualifying equipment installed by a licensed Heating and air Contractor like Bonney Plumbing, Heating and Air, you can give the qualifying documents for your system to your Tax Preparer and they will apply this to your taxes. The credit goes against what you owe, so there are circumstances where there may be little or no credit if you do not owe any taxes for the year. Be sure and talk with a professional tax preparer about this credit and how it would apply to you. With the year coming quickly to the end it is important to go ahead and get your system scheduled for replacement. Installation dates are running out so be sure and call a reputable company like Bonney to schedule before it’s too late. Call Bonney Plumbing, Heating and Air at 800-444-0551 today. **Categories:** Company News & Press --- ### [Bonney's New CEO](https://www.bonney.com/blog/locally-owned-bonney-plumbing-heating-air-hires-new-ceo-offers-accounting-finance-and-growth-risk-management-expertise/) **Published:** June 8, 2015 **Author:** Bonney Plumbing, Heating & Air **Content:** ![Laurie Johnson, CEO](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/laurie-johnson-224x300.jpg)Laurie Johnson, CEO ## Locally Owned Bonney Plumbing, Heating & Air Hires New CEO Offers Accounting, Finance and Growth-Risk Management Expertise RANCHO CORDOVA, Calif.

Thankfully, your home’s energy usage provides several easy ways to boost your budget while helping the planet. Making even small changes in your home can add up to big savings. The team at Bonney is on your side and here to help with 8 money-saving tips to reduce energy waste in your home. ## **Upgrade to a Digital Thermostat** Get smart about the energy you use to heat and cool your home by installing a digital or smart thermostat. These upgraded thermostat models will monitor the temperature of your home for you, or even allow you to control the settings remotely. The [Department of Energy](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/thermostats) notes that adjusting the temperature of your home for when you are away can save you up to 10% of your annual heating and cooling costs. ## **Get your HVAC Tuned Up** When your heating and cooling system does not receive the care it needs, it will have to work harder to function properly. This tends to drive your home’s energy bills up. Not only that, but your system will also work less effectively and encounter more costly repairs down the road. Now is the perfect time for an HVAC tune-up. This service will allow your cooling system to run smoothly and efficiently during the hot summer months. [Bonney’s spring HVAC tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) not only will reduce your utility bills and future repair costs, but it will also help to extend the lifespan of your air conditioning unit. ## **Switch to Low-Flush Toilets** With frequent California droughts, you have likely heard of low-flush toilets. Having one of your own can help you save money while conserving water. Did you know that 30% of all water used in homes is used for flushing? If your home has old, inefficient toilets, now is the time to stop flushing money down the drain. [Rebate programs](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/) are available to help you replace older toilets with high efficiency, cost-effective models. Bonney Plumbing offers low water consumption toilets from quality brands such as Kohler, Toto, and Sloan. ## **Wash Your Clothes on Cold** Changing the way you think about your laundry process can help you save money on both water and energy costs. Most people don’t know that in a wash cycle, nearly all of the energy used goes toward heating the water. In most cases, the clothes you would normally wash on warm or hot will get just as clean when washed on cold. By switching your settings to wash clothes on cold, you can help lower your energy consumption and save on your monthly expenses. ## **Install LED light bulbs** During the work and school days spent at home, consider spending some time outdoors and opening your blinds to let in the natural light. This can help boost your mood and help you save on lighting costs. You can also save money while your lights are on by switching to [LED lighting](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/led-lighting/). LED light bulbs are much more efficient and longer-lasting than old incandescent bulbs. An LED light bulb has a lifespan that is 50 times that of a typical incandescent bulb, while also using 90% less energy. So if you haven’t made the switch yet, consider speaking with an expert about how much money your home could be saving. ## **Low-Cost and Efficient Home Cooling** While you pay to keep your home cool during the day, inefficiencies and vulnerable points in your home could be throwing this money out the window. Take advantage of low-cost heating and cooling solutions. First, consider kicking your air conditioning up by a degree or two and taking advantage of low-cost cooling. You can do this by turning on your fan and closing the blinds when you feel warm. When taking advantage of the money-saving benefits of fans, it is important to remember that keeping your fan on only makes the room you are in ***feel*** cooler by creating a wind-chill effect. Fans do not actually lower the temperature of your home. This means that leaving the fan on in a room you are not in will waste money and energy rather than saving it. This is also a perfect solution for homes with whole-house fans. If you have considered installing a whole-house fan or upgrading your room to a [ceiling fan](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ceiling-fan-installation/), now may be the perfect time for this low-cost, money-saving investment. Next, you can also affordably keep your home cool by taking advantage of low temperatures at night. Consider cracking open a window or two at night to let in the cool air. In the morning when the temperature starts rising, close your windows to lock this air inside. Be sure that you have the proper safety measures and screen protectors in place before taking advantage of this solution. You will also want to make sure the temperature outdoors is cooler than your indoor temperatures to make this effort worthwhile. Finally, take a quick look at the weather strips around your windows and doors. If they are tattered and worn, they could be letting your air conditioning out and the warm weather in. Believe it or not, changing your weather strips is an easy and affordable DIY project. You can keep your home feeling cool during the day without sending your energy bills through the roof. Looking forward, weather stripping can also help you combat winter chills. Coupled with a [furnace tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/), this switch will help make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient next winter. ## **Lower Your Water Heater Temperature** The average [water heater](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) temperature is set to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, but maintaining this high temperature can cause your system to consume extra energy. Adjusting it slightly can help you save money in an easy, free, and fast manner. The Department of Energy recommends turning down your water temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit to conserve energy. This change will not impact the comfort of your showers, but it will help you save energy and money. If your home has small children, this little adjustment can also prevent accidental scalding. ## **Install Solar Hot Water Heaters** Living in sunny California has its advantages. Now is the time to save money and benefit from all of that free sunshine by [using solar energy to heat your water](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/solar-water-heaters/). Solar water heaters significantly reduce your utility cost while saving 5 times the energy of traditional water heaters. The experts at Bonney Plumbing are knowledgeable and skilled in solar hot water heaters. Our team can help you implement this change quickly and affordably so you can start saving money on your water heater costs. ## **Bonney Efficiency: HVAC and Plumbing Care** Reducing energy consumption and water waste in your home is an easy way to lower your monthly bills and put a little extra money back into your budget. These changes can also help you make a positive impact on your community and the environment.

Allergens and particulates like mold, mildew, pet dander, dust, pollen and wood smoke have a variety of health effects. Nose and throat irritation, congestion, sneezing, cough, asthma flares and more. Infectious agents are another phase of indoor contamination. Bacterial infections and viral infections create a whole list of health effects like throat and ear infections, bronchitis, upper repertory infections, and pneumonia. Toxic compounds like formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, methylene chloride, pesticides, tobacco smoke are another list of indoor air quality contaminates with health effects like memory lapse, lethargy, headaches and blurred vision to name a few. It all sounds a bit scary doesn’t it? Makes you wanna run from the house and live in a tree house in the woods! Don’t worry, we’re on it! There’s a simple resolution to poor indoor air quality.

We don’t just haul it away, we make absolutely sure the parts are recycled and re-used instead of discarded into a landfill to pollute our environment.

Added bonus: We don’t charge our customers a disposal fee, which is nice.

Stainless steel and chrome are typically less expensive than natural stone, copper, and other premium materials. High-end sinks and faucets may also require unique parts or additional installation time, making them more expensive. - **Labor complexity and accessibility.** The location of the sink and the complexity of your plumbing system also impact labor costs.

The best faucet for hard water has a corrosion-resistant finish, such as chrome, brushed nickel, or matte black. These materials prevent limescale buildup, which is the chalky residue left by hard water when it evaporates. If you don’t like the look of corrosion-resistant material, install a faucet with a ceramic disc valve or a spray nozzle made of soft rubber. What’s a good flow rate? A good flow rate is around [1.5 to 2 gallons per minute,](https://water.usgs.gov/edu/activity-percapita.php) which is achievable with newer faucets. Flow rate refers to the volume of water that passes through a specific point in a pipe or fixture within a certain amount of time. The lower the flow rate, the less water you use for activities such as brushing your teeth, taking a shower, and washing your hands. What are the most durable sink materials? Cast iron, stainless steel, and composite are the most durable sink materials available. Cast iron retains heat well, but it’s heavy, so it may cost extra to install. Stainless steel is one of the most popular options due to its ability to resist heat and harsh chemicals. It’s also extremely affordable. Composite sinks made of quartz and granite are heat-resistant, chip-resistant, and crack-resistant, but they’re expensive. How long does a sink last? A sink [lasts from 5 to 100 years](https://downloads.regulations.gov/EPA-R09-OAR-2024-0338-0004/attachment_42.pdf), depending on what type it is and how well you take care of it. Stone, glass, copper, porcelain, and enameled steel have the shortest lifespans (5 to 20 years). Acrylic kitchen sinks last for up to 50 years, while a soapstone sink may last for 100 years or more. How do I know if my faucet needs to be repaired? Your faucet likely needs to be repaired if you notice stiff handles, persistent dripping, leaks around the base, or [low water pressure](https://www.bonney.com/blog/6-common-causes-of-weak-water-pressure-and-how-to-fix-it/). These issues can all interfere with water flow. Your faucet may also need repair if there’s visible mineral buildup or water spraying at odd angles. ## Time for a Faucet Repair? Bonney’s on the Way.

These factors can affect the cost of installing a GFCI in Sacramento: - **Replacement vs. new install.** Replacing an outlet with an existing GFCI is usually less expensive than installing a brand-new outlet. If you need a new outlet, we may have to upgrade your wiring or [electrical panel](https://www.bonney.com/blog/electrical-panel-restoration-benefits/ "The Benefits of Electrical Panel Restoration"). Installing an outlet from scratch also requires cutting into walls and adding a new circuit breaker, so it takes longer than a simple replacement, resulting in higher costs. - **Accessibility.** Some outlets are in hard-to-reach areas, such as behind appliances or under counters. The more time it takes to access a work area, the more you can expect to pay for GFCI installation or replacement. - **Wire condition.** Damaged wire is a safety hazard, so it may be necessary to repair or replace some of your wiring before we can install a GFCI. This increases the total cost of labor and materials. - **Number of outlets.** If you need multiple GFCIs, each additional outlet affects pricing. However, we may be able to bundle multiple installations to reduce the per-unit cost. ## GCFI installation and replacement estimates and second opinions are always FREE at Bonney Bonney will dispatch a licensed technician to your home to assess your family’s comfort needs and provide an estimate for the project, free of charge.

During his entire visit he was very courteous and professional. Also, he was patient in listening to my concerns regarding the electrical issue.” ## GFCI FAQs What can you not plug into a GFCI outlet? You generally can’t plug high-power appliances into a GFCI outlet unless it’s required by your local code. These appliances are known to cause nuisance trips, which are unexpected breaker shut-offs that occur without a genuine fault. Nuisance trips can damage wiring or other components over time, so it’s best to avoid them. How do I fix a GFCI that won’t reset? If your GFCI won’t reset, make sure you’re firmly pressing the RESET button. GFCIs require manual resets because someone needs to check and make sure the ground fault has been resolved before storing power. If pressing RESET doesn’t work, try unplugging everything that’s connected to the outlet and pressing the button again. Persistent issues may indicate a failed outlet or wiring issue, so contact a licensed electrician if your GFCI doesn’t reset when you follow these steps. Do GFCIs require ground wires? No, GFCIs don’t require ground wires. They trip when there’s an imbalance in the flow of current between a neutral wire and a hot wire. However, if you decide to install a GFCI without a ground wire, the outlet must be labeled as such. Where are GFCIs required? GFCIs are typically required in areas where water is likely to come into contact with outlets or wires, such as kitchens and bathrooms. You may also need GFCIs in your garage, laundry room, or unfinished basement. The requirements vary by municipality, so check local codes before investing in electrical work. How do I test a GFCI? You can test a GFCI by pressing the TEST button on an outlet. Pressing TEST should immediately disrupt the power supply to all plugged-in items, allowing you to verify that the GFCI is working as intended. We recommend testing each GFCI approximately once per month. Following a test, simply press RESET to restore power to each outlet. ## Bonney’s Here to Help with Your Electrical Problems [Request an Estimate](/) [ Call 916.299.0434](tel:9162990434) --- ### [Pipe Repair in Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/pipe-repair/) **Published:** August 27, 2026 **Author:** Rocket PM **Content:** # When Your Pipes Need Repair, Call Bonney When you need pipe repair in Sacramento, Bonney is the trusted choice for expert plumbing services.

You can temporarily stop a pipe leak by shutting off the main water valve. Once you stop the leak, call Bonney for service. Unaddressed pipe issues can cause significant damage, making early intervention critical. Can I fix a burst pipe myself? You can temporarily stop the leak yourself, but it’s best to call an experienced plumber for repairs. Water pooling near electrical outlets increases the risk of short circuits, but a professional can isolate your system and minimize the hazard. An experienced plumber is also familiar with local building codes and industry standards. Complying with these standards can help you avoid permitting issues and ensure that your repairs last for years to come. Your insurance may even require you to hire a professional if you want them to pay for repairs. What should I do right after the repair? After having your pipes repaired, you should flush your system, which involves opening all the cold-water faucets and flushing each toilet in your home. Allowing the water to run for several minutes eliminates trapped dirt, air, and pipe shavings. We also recommend that you remove the aerators (screens) from your faucets. This prevents them from getting clogged with sediment. When you’re done flushing the system, rinse off the aerators and screw them back in place. Do push-to-connect fittings last? 1Push-to-connect fittings are highly durable, but they require precision installation. This type of fitting contains an internal O-ring, a rubber seal designed to prevent leaks. If the O-ring is exposed to constant vibrations, high levels of heat, or other environmental stressors, it can degrade long before the fitting wears out. Experienced plumbers use alternative methods and special tools to apply more permanent repairs. Since push-to-connect fittings are designed to be removed, we prefer to use solder or propress fittings for a permanent and nonremovable repair. What are the most common pipe issues? The most common pipe issues include leaks, obstructions, and major cracks. Leaks often occur due to loose piping, degraded seals, or physical cracks. Galvanized steel and copper pipes are especially vulnerable to damage. If you have a leak, you may notice unexplained spikes in your water bill. Clogs and blockages develop as hair, grease, soap scum, and other types of debris build up in your plumbing system. It’s also possible for [tree roots](https://www.bonney.com/blog/what-tree-root-intrusion-looks-like/) to grow into your sewer pipe, increasing the risk of a backup. Watch for gurgling noises, slow-draining sinks and tubs, or sewage backing up into your toilets and sinks. One of the most common causes of a burst pipe is a sudden buildup in pressure due to an unaddressed blockage. When pressure builds quickly, it causes water to expand, making it more likely that a pipe will fracture. Burst pipes can cause a sudden drop in water pressure or flooding under floors. ## When You’re in Need, Bonney’s Here [Request an Estimate](/) [ Call 916.299.0434](tel:9162990434) --- ### [Water Recirculation Pumps in Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-recirculation-pumps/) **Published:** August 27, 2026 **Author:** Rocket PM **Content:** # Water Recirculation Pump Installs in the Sacramento Area Waiting a minute for hot water when you turn on the faucet might not seem like a big deal if you don’t think about it much. Over the course of a year, thousands of gallons flow down the drain just because the water wasn’t the right temperature.

When you schedule an installation with Bonney, you get a unique quote based on your existing plumbing setup and needs. Our plumbers consider several aspects before generating your quote, such as: - **Type of system:** Retrofitted (integrated loop system) recirculation pumps usually cost less to install because they simply place a pump into an existing plumbing system. Dedicated loop systems usually go into new build homes, creating a designated line specifically for cooled water to return to the water heater. You pay more for the designated line, but you also get better performance and efficiency. - **Labor costs:** Your labor costs coincide with plumbing complexity. More complex plumbing systems require more effort to install your pump. This typically translates to higher labor costs. - **Plumbing accessibility:** How accessible your plumbing system is affects overall labor costs. If it’s difficult to reach the installation site, costs may increase. ## Water recirculation pump install estimates and second opinions are always FREE at Bonney Bonney will dispatch a licensed technician to your home to assess your family’s comfort needs and provide an estimate for the project, free of charge.

No, your recirculating pump shouldn’t run all the time. Doing so accelerates wear and tear on the pump, wastes energy, and can erode your pipes over time since water will flow constantly. It’s more efficient to run your pump on a timer or an aquastat, which turns on the pump when water temperatures drop to a certain level. Focus on running your pump during peak usage times and schedule it to remain off when you won’t need hot water, such as overnight or during the workday. What maintenance is needed for a recirculating pump? Recirculating water pumps require some basic maintenance to keep them fully operational, including: - Annual leak inspection - Annual sensor valve checks (if your pump has a dedicated one) - Routine inlet screen or filter cleaning - Lubrication, if recommended by the manufacturer How does a pump save water? Water recirculation pumps save water by keeping hot water available at all times in your pipes. It’s common for people waiting for hot water to leave the tap running until the flow warms up. While it seems like running the tap for a few seconds wouldn’t waste much, it results in thousands of gallons of water wasted annually in an average home. Will a water recirculation pump affect my water pressure? No, if it’s properly installed, a water recirculation pump shouldn’t affect your home’s water pressure. They’re designed to recirculate water at a consistent pressure. If your water pressure suffers and you have a circulation pump, it may be the wrong size, installed improperly, or failing. Do water recirculation pumps work with tankless water heaters? Yes, water recirculation pumps work with tankless water heaters, but they require a professional installation to confirm compatibility. They work by pushing cooled water back to the tankless water heater through the cold-water line so it can be reheated. ## Looking to Revitalize Your Water? Call Bonney.

If your home is older or has aging plumbing, recurring leaks, low water pressure, or discolored water, it may be time to consider a whole-home repipe before a major failure occurs.

Bonney works with FortiFi to make PACE loans available to eligible homeowners. To qualify, you must have [at least 10% equity](https://www.fortifi.com/faqs) in your home.

Roots had invaded the drain under the kitchen floor, completely blocking the drain. Bonney’s crew located the clog and removed the cracked section of pipe and replaced it. I was impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. I especially appreciated the way Mark filled in the excavation and capped it with cement.” ## Whole-Home Repiping FAQs What are the signs my home may need a whole-home repipe? Some of the most common warning signs include recurring leaks, slab leaks, low water pressure throughout the home, discolored or rusty water, and frequent plumbing repairs. Older homes with galvanized or polybutylene pipes may also benefit from proactive repiping before major failures occur. If you’re unsure whether your home needs a repipe, our team can inspect your plumbing system and recommend the most cost-effective solution. How long does whole-home repiping take? Most whole-home repipes take approximately 2–4 days for the plumbing work, depending on the size and complexity of the project. The overall timeline may be longer when drywall restoration, painting, permit inspections, and other finishing work are included. Can I stay in my home during repiping? You can stay in your home during repiping, but it’s important to be prepared for daily disruptions. We typically shut off the water at the beginning of the day and turn it back on before we leave, so you won’t be able to shower, do laundry or perform other tasks requiring running water. If we’re replacing your [drain lines](https://www.bonney.com/blog/pool-and-yard-drains/), you won’t be able to use your sinks or toilets. Repiping requires hammering and drilling, so it’s also noisy. If possible, we recommend spending the day elsewhere and then returning home to sleep. Our goal is to restore your water service before the end of each workday whenever possible, helping minimize disruptions to your daily routine. We also recommend keeping pets away from active work areas for their safety. How do I know my home needs to be repiped? Your home may need to be repiped if you have recurring leaks or experience a sudden drop in pressure. We also recommend repiping if you notice strange noises, discolored water, or hidden water damage. Hidden leaks may cause soft drywall, bubbling paint, or unexplained soggy patches on your floors. Homes with aging galvanized steel or polybutylene plumbing are often good candidates for repiping because these materials become increasingly prone to corrosion, restricted water flow, and leaks over time. How can I prepare my home for repiping? You can prepare your home for repiping by clearing work areas and protecting your belongings from drywall dust. Pipe accessibility affects the cost and timeline of a plumbing project, so removing obstructions ahead of time can help you save money. You’ll need to empty the cabinets under your sinks, move furniture and boxes away from walls, and provide unobstructed access to your water heater. Cutting into drywall produces dust, so it’s helpful to cover furniture, electronics, and other large items with drop cloths. Before work begins, our crew lays protective plastic sheeting throughout work areas and walks you through where wall openings will be made so you know exactly what to expect before any work starts. We also recommend removing fragile items, taking down curtains, and moving bath mats before our team arrives. What material piping should I use? The best piping material depends on your home’s plumbing system, your budget, and your long-term goals. During your estimate, your Bonney technician will explain the advantages of each option and recommend the best fit for your home. PEX is the most common choice for residential repiping because it’s flexible, durable, corrosion-resistant, and requires fewer fittings than traditional piping materials. Copper is also available for homeowners who prefer it. For drain lines, ABS remains the industry standard due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. Why should I repipe instead of continuing to repair leaks? A plumbing repair addresses one problem. A whole-home repipe addresses the entire plumbing system. As pipes age—especially galvanized steel pipes—leaks often become more frequent. Over time, repeated repairs, drywall work, and ongoing disruptions can make a whole-home repipe the more cost-effective long-term solution. ## Call Bonney — Your Local Whole-Home Repiping Experts [Request an Estimate](/) [ Call 916.299.0434](tel:9162990434) --- ### [Community](https://www.bonney.com/community/) **Published:** June 29, 2026 **Author:** Max Kloeppel **Content:** # MORE THAN HOME SERVICES ## THIS IS OUR COMMUNITY Bonney has been an integral fixture in the Annual Folsom Rodeo for over 60 years!At Bonney, taking care of people has always been at the heart of what we do.

We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we are standing by to serve. **Bonney offers an extensive list of electrical services in Elk Grove, CA, including:** - Equipment Repair/Hook Up - Backup Home Generators - Breakers & Fuses - Ceiling Fans - Lighting Design & Repair - Exhaust Fans - Home Safety Check - Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors - Fire Marshall/Code Correction - Outdoor & Landscape Lighting - Troubleshooting & Repair - Overhead Lighting - Surge Protectors - Light Switches - Grounding Systems - Electrical Outlets - Electric Panels - Meter Bases - Phone Jacks & Cable Outlets - Electrical Maintenance - Track Lighting Installation - GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) - ARC-Fault Breakers - New Wiring for Appliances Even if the service you need is not on this list, give us a call and see if we can still help you. ### Licensed Electricians in the Elk Grove, CA Area We have a team of licensed and insured technicians you can quickly and effectively solve your issues. [Electricians](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) fall into 4 categories. The first category is when they are just out of school but still learning. An electrician has to spend at least 2 years as an apprentice, learning about the job and being under supervision at all times. When they graduate to a wireman, they still need to be supervised for commercial jobs but can handle residential ones on their own. Then there is the journeyman level. These electricians can handle almost any job you can imagine. A master electrician is the final level, and these experts can work on any type of project in any type of setting. ### Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter A GFCI outlet works by stopping a current from flowing when it senses that the current has come into contact with water. This will prevent injury and sparking. These outlets are most useful in kitchens and bathrooms since those rooms have more moisture than others. Make sure to test the GFCI every month, since it is of no use to you if it fails. You can do this by pressing the “test” button the face. It if shuts off power, then it is working fine and you can get it ready for the net time by resetting it. If the power does not shut off, then the outlet is faulty and must be replaced by a Bonney expert. ### Landscape and Outdoor Lighting Installation There’s no reason for your home to sit in the gloom, even in the dead of night. Install outdoor lighting to make your home stand out on the block, and to provide some visibility for entertaining guests in the evening. It can also make you safer since thieves are less likely to attack a home that has lots of lighting. If you do have outdoor lighting, make sure to provide regular maintenance, such as clearing dirt, branches, and leaves away from fixtures. That will help keep your lighting system looking great for years to come. ### Electrical Safety in Your Elk Grove Home We all want our electrical system to work perfectly at all times. However, it can absolutely be dangerous if you do not treat electricity with the respect it deserves. Here are some tips to avoid electrical disasters: - Don’t cover up extension cords with carpet. - Never use extension cords as a permanent solution - Replace cords immediately if you see any damage - Never use water to put out electrical fires, use fire extinguishers - Install tamper-proof receptacles to protect from shocks - Schedule annual electrical inspections - Unplug appliances that emit sparks Please follow the safety tips above that help keep everyone safe. ### Home LED Lighting There is simply no reason for you to not be thinking about shifting your lighting to LED. LED lighting is much more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs. It also gives off less heat and is even better looking. It is budget friendly, and it’s also time-friendly too. You won’t have to worry about replacing an LED bulb for about 20 years after installation. Not only that, but LED lights can be pointed in any direction, unlike incandescents which shine in every direction. ### Surge Suppressors Power surges can wreak havoc on your electrical system. They can damage your electronics and even cause sparking. They usually occur when lightning strikes, but they can also happen if your wiring is faulty. A surge suppressor will limit the amount of electricity that gets into your system, which will keep your home and electronics safe from power surges. Bonney can quickly install one in your home to get your protected right away. ### Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Having functioning smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors should be a must for any homeowner, even if the law does not require it where you live. They save lives, period. Smoke detectors should be on every floor, and in any stairwell. Their batteries should be changed twice a year, and the unit should be replaced every 10 years. Carbon monoxide detectors need to be near any area with bedrooms so that people who are sleeping will be alerted. They are usually plugged in, so you mainly need to worry about testing them every month and replacing them every 7 years. ### Electric Panel Services Electric panels can get old fast in this world where electricity is always in demand. Some older homes may have panels that only have a capacity of 100 amps, which is not nearly enough. Your panel should be at least 150 amps, but 200 is even better. If your lights have been flickering, or if you’ve noticed your breakers are tripping more often, then you may have issues with your panel. Call Bonney and one of our specialists will inspect your panel and make the necessary upgrades to get your power humming properly again. ### Ceiling Fans A ceiling fan can truly bring a room together and bring a nice classic feel while still being functional. However, choosing a fan requires not just looks, but also the right size. You do not want a fan that is too small to cover the room, and you don’t want one that is too large that it might be overwhelming. There could also be a safety hazard if the blades are too close to the walls. Make sure that you leave clearance to the walls and at least 8 inches to the ceiling. Better yet, call Bonney to install the fan for you. We will make sure that it looks perfect, and is up to all applicable safety codes. ### Rewiring The fact is, wires wear down with age. They may get to a point where they can’t handle your power demands anymore. Bonney can rewire your home to make sure that your system is running efficiently, and more importantly, safely. We will only use materials that are made to last a long time, so you don’t have to worry about it once we’re finished. The signs below will let you know your home needs some rewiring: - Circuit breakers regularly tripping - Aluminum wiring, which is a major fire risk - Any vibration, shock or buzz when turning on appliances - Dimming or flickering lights when using appliances such as a vacuum - Loose electrical outlets - A house that more than 40 years old - A burning smell coming from electrical outlets If you notice any of the above issues, or if you need assistance with any of the issues listed above, please call Bonney today. ## Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Services in Elk Grove ### What electrical services does Bonney provide in Elk Grove?

Give us a call today for help. ### Standard Water Heaters Standard water heaters are probably the most common water heaters in North Highlands.

Bonney technicians can inspect and repair any type of water heater, so we have you covered. ### Tankless Water Heaters Tankless water heaters have never been more popular.

Call us today to talk about how you can invest in inspections to avoid having to pay hefty repair bills down the road. ### Pipe Replacement Replacing the pipes in a building is a big job that can take planning and perfect execution. It is not for the DIYers out there. When your pipes deteriorate or are damaged, then they need to be replaced completely. This involves carefully removing the old pipes and installing the new ones. If you have funny-smelling water, or if your water pressure has recently dropped, then you might have a problem with your pipes. ### Drain Cleaning Have you ever had a clog that just keeps coming back? It might be that there is a buildup in your drain that isn’t completely removed when you clear out a clog. Then it just doesn’t take long for it to build back up and clog the drain again. [Bonney professionals](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) can not just remove the clog, but they will also clean out the drain completely so that the buildup is gone and won’t bother you anymore. ### Sewer Line Service Sewer lines carry dirty, used water from your home to the sewer system. Sometimes they can get blocked up with debris from the home, or they can be affected by outside factors. These include changes in the soil, tree roots that encroach into the pipe, or extreme temperatures. Whatever the case, Bonney plumbers can inspect, maintain, and repair your sewer lines so that you do not have any unpleasant substances backing up into your home or place of work. ### Hydro Jetting Hydro jetting is one of the most powerful ways to clean out the pipes of a building. The technician will attach the hydro jet to the plumbing system, and blast a flow of high pressured water through the pipes to remove any blockages. It also works to scour the sides of the pipes to remove any buildup. It requires special training and using equipment that can be unsafe if used improperly, and Bonney is proud to offer this service. ### Plumbing Products and Brands There are some plumbing issues that you can handle on your own.

Have a Bonney inspector examine every component of your system to make sure that everything is functioning properly.

You might notice that your water has a strange color or odor, or that the water pressure has suddenly dropped. It might be that you have pipes that are deteriorating, which means your home may need to be repiped. The experts at Bonney can handle this difficult job with excellent workmanship and careful planning. ### Drain Cleaning Drain pipes get clogged. It happens to every drain in existence, it seems. Sometimes it’s because a foreign object has gone down the drain, but oftentimes it’s just that substances have built up over time until finally they completely block the drain. Using a liquid plumber might get the water flowing again, but it probably won’t have completely cleared the issue away. That’s where Bonney can help. Our experts can clean your drain so that any built-up materials are removed from the pipe and there is plenty of room for the water to flow. ### Sewer Line Service Sewer lines are the arteries of your plumbing system. They carry sewage water away from your home and into the sewer system. The last thing you want is for the lines to get clogged up or for those pipes to burst. Bonney sewer line specialists can inspect, maintain, and repair your lines so that the sewage is always running in the right direction. Lines can be affected by the temperature outside and by shifting soil around them, so make sure to keep on top of them with regular inspections. ### Hydro Jetting Hydro jetting is a big gun when it comes to clog removal. It is a process that involves blasting pressurized water into the pipes to knock through blockages. It takes special training with the equipment to do it properly, and Bonney is proud to offer this service to our clients with extra stubborn clogs. ### Plumbing Products and Brands Don’t be left without the right product for your next plumbing job.

Our plumbers can work with any water heater, no matter the brand or the heater type. Call us today to talk about how we can help you with yours. ### Standard Water Heaters Standard water heaters have a large tank that has a heating component built into it.

If too many people are using hot water at once, then the tank can run out of heated water faster than people are using it.

The first category is the apprentice. Our apprentices are still learning from the best in the business, and are supervised on every job they do. Wiremen can handle residential jobs on their own but need to be supervised when working on commercial projects. Journeymen electricians are able to work on almost any electrical project, and a master electrician can handle anything at all. ### Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Ground fault circuit interrupters provide you safety and peace of mind when it comes to electricity coming into contact with water. We can outfit your kitchen and bathrooms with these specially designed outlets that will cut off power if the current comes into contact with water. A dead GFCI is no good to you, so make sure to test them every month. If they do not work properly with the test, then have them replaced right away.

Call Bonney today to let us be a part of creating the yard of your dreams. ### Electrical Safety in Your Citrus Heights Home We all want our electrical system to work perfectly at all times. However, it can absolutely be dangerous if you do not treat electricity with the respect it deserves. Here are some tips to avoid electrical disasters: - Don’t cover up extension cords with carpet. - Never use extension cords as a permanent solution - Replace cords immediately if you see any damage - Never use water to put out electrical fires, use fire extinguishers - Install tamper-proof receptacles to protect from shocks - Schedule annual electrical inspections - Unplug appliances that emit sparks Please follow the safety tips above that help keep everyone safe. ### Home LED Lighting LED lighting is becoming the lighting option of choice for homeowners around the country. It is much more energy efficient than incandescents and looks better too. Not only that, but a typical LED bulb can last up to 20 years. You will never be left surprised and in the dark, either. When they start to burn out, they will slowly change color so that you know it is time to replace them. You can also direct LED lighting in any direction, so it’s very helpful to create visibility in a certain space or to highlight something in your home. ### Surge Suppressors Keep your home protected against power surges with a home surge protector. This device will limit the amount of power that gets into your electrician system. A power surge can happen during a lightning strike, or if you have bad wiring. It can overload the circuits on your electronics and damage them beyond repair. It can also cause sparking and a fire hazard. ### Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Install smoke detectors on every floor of your home, and in every stairwell. They are your first line of defense against being injured or killed by fire. Carbon monoxide detectors provide the same function for CO. Install a CO detector near any bedrooms. CO has no color or odor, so it is impossible to know it is there without a sensor. Make sure that you keep them running by changing out batteries every 6 months. A smoke detector should be replaced as well as the first thing that might not be functioning properly. CO detectors should be replaced every 10 years or so, to make sure that the technology you are using is up to date. ### Electric Panel Services Your electric panel may fail over time, especially if it was not built to handle all of the power that we now use in our homes. As everything goes digital, the power demands of a typical household just seem to grow. Your old panel may be 100 amps, when it needs to be at least 150, and perhaps even 200 amps. Call Bonney if you think you have an electric panel issue. We will repair or replace your unit and get it up to current standards. ### Ceiling Fans A ceiling fan can provide a classic look to a room, and also a comforting breeze. When choosing a new one, always take into consideration the size of the room. For smaller rooms, go with a 30-inch blade. For larger rooms, you can move up to 42 or 52-inch units. A Bonney specialist can install your fan with the proper electrical connections, and also with the right safety standards. Your fan should be 8 inches from the ceiling and 9 feet from the floor. It can be unsafe if you install it incorrectly. ### Rewiring There may come a time when you realize that you need the wires in your home to be replaced. It may be because they have simply gotten old. Or, it may be because subpar wires were used by an electrical contractor in the first place. Whatever the reason, Bonney can rewire your home with quality materials that won’t let you down. - The signs below will let you know your home needs some rewiring: - Circuit breakers regularly tripping - Aluminum wiring, which is a major fire risk - Any vibration, shock or buzz when turning on appliances - Dimming or flickering lights when using appliances such as a vacuum - Loose electrical outlets - A house that more than 40 years old - A burning smell coming from electrical outlets If you notice any of the above issues, or if you need assistance with any of the issues listed above, please call Bonney today. ## Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Services in Citrus Heights ### What electrical services does Bonney provide in Citrus Heights?

Call Bonney today to have the pipes in your building replaced safely and efficiently. ### Drain Cleaning When a drain gets clogged and unclogged, you probably think that’s the end of the issue.

Sewer lines can break down when roots encroach on them, when the soil around them changes, or when there are extreme temperature fluctuations. Bonney has experts that will provide inspection, cleaning, repair, and replacement services to keep your dirty water going in the proper direction. ### Hydro Jetting When you think your pipes might be extra dirty or have a lot of buildups, hydro jetting may be needed to clear everything out.

This should only be handled by a trained professional, and Bonney plumbers can provide this service for you. ### Plumbing Products and Brands Bonney has everything you need for a successful DIY plumbing project.

Bonney plumbers can work on any type of water heater, from the standard version to tankless water heaters. ### Standard Water Heaters In Granite Bay and around the country, most buildings are still using traditional tank-type water heaters. They consist of a tank that stores water and keeps it heated at all times so that hot water is always available unless it runs out. These standard heaters come in many types, so talk to a Bonney representative to get information on which type will meet your needs. ### Tankless Water Heaters [Tankless water heaters](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) are more popular than ever and with good reason. There is no way to run out of hot water with a tankless product since there is no tank to empty. Instead, water gets heated immediately as it is called upon. This means that not only will you never run out, but tankless water heaters use less energy than traditional ones. They also offer a longer lifespan and longer warranty periods. ### 24 Hour Plumber Services Bonney’s emergency line is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That means that no matter when a plumbing emergency strikes, there is a Bonney plumber available to get there quickly to help. Plumbing issues will only get worse the longer they are allowed to fester, so getting help quickly, even in the middle of the night, is crucial. ### Plumbing Inspections Regular inspections are an important part of keeping your plumbing system running smoothly and preventing big plumbing repairs. A Bonney inspector can carefully examine every component of your system and check for any problems that might be arising. If there is something, then they will repair it quickly and easily before it can linger for too long. Investing in inspections will help save money down the line by avoiding major repair costs. ### Pipe Replacement Does your water seem rusty-colored or have a strange odor? Did your water pressure suddenly drop? If so, then you may have some pipes that have deteriorated past the point of their useful life. If this is the case, then you may need to have the building re-piped. This means removing all of the failing pipes and installing brand new ones. Bonney has re-piping experts on our team who can make sure this important job is done right. ### Drain Cleaning Clogs, even the ones that you clear on your own, are often not simply individual events. They are often the result of a lot of materials building up in your drain. Removing a clog once does not mean that it won’t come back quickly. Drain cleaning ensures that the buildup is removed so that water can flow properly again. Bonney has drain experts that will make sure your drains are fully cleared. ### Sewer Line Service The sewer lines take your dirty sewage water and carry it to the sewer system. If there is a problem with the lines, then you could end up with sewage backing up onto your bathroom floor. The plumbers at Bonney can inspect, maintain, repair, and replace your sewer lines so that you never have a problem with them. Backed up sewage is not only a big mess, but it also poses a health risk. ### Hydro Jetting Some blockages just need a little extra effort, and that’s where hydro jetting comes in. It’s a technique that involves using high-pressure water to blast through debris and allow water to flow freely. ### Plumbing Products and Brands Bonney also offers products and equipment to help with your next DIY plumbing project. Give us a call to see what we have that can help. ## Granite Bay Plumbing FAQs ### What plumbing services does Bonney provide in Granite Bay, CA?

Master electricians are those who have risen to the top in their field. ### Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter A ground fault circuit interrupter is an outlet that will cut power if it senses the current going through something it shouldn’t, such as water or human flesh. Water and electricity do not mix, and a GFCI can protect you from the danger. Make sure to test any GFCI outlets you have every month. If they do not shut down when you press the “test” button, then they are not working and must be replaced immediately before you need them.

However, it can absolutely be dangerous if you do not treat electricity with the respect it deserves.

Of course, you do. Do you want to avoid being left in the dark when a lightbulb suddenly burns out? There’s no doubt about it. Would you rather not have to replace your lightbulbs so often? Absolutely. Then you need to consider switching to LED lighting. It is energy efficient, they last 20 years, and they provide you with an early warning that the bulb needs to be replaced. Invest in making the switch and you will be happy you did. Consult with one of our specialists who can tell you how you can benefit from LED lighting. ### Surge Suppressors Power surges can be dangerous and can threaten your electronics. They tend to happen when there’s a lightning strike, or if you have damaged or faulty wiring. These situations can cause too much electricity to flood your system all at once, and overload your electronics, permanently damaging them or ruining them. A home surge protector will limit the amount of electricity that gets into your system so that you are fully protected against power surges. ### Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are an important part of any home safety plan. You may not be able to prevent every fire, but you can certainly get out of the home quickly enough to save lives. Make sure there is at least one smoke detector on every floor and at the top of every stairwell. Carbon monoxide detectors should be placed near any area where people sleep. Test them every month, and change out the batteries twice a year. Smoke detectors must be replaced every 10 years, and CO detectors should be switched out every 7. ### Electric Panel Services Your electric panel regulates and distributes power throughout your home. It must have the capacity to handle the power demands that your lifestyle places on it. Some older panels only have a capacity of 100 amps, which is what was appropriate for the times when we didn’t have to charge our electronics every night or keep a desktop computer powered up. Some tell-tale signs that your panel isn’t up to capacity are flickering lights and a strange smell in the air. Call Bonney and we will send a technician right away to assess your panel and upgrade it to a new one that will handle your power needs. ### Ceiling Fans Ceiling fans can be a nice addition to any room. Just make sure that you consider sizing and safety when making your choice. You want a fan that will fit well into the room and won’t provide too much or too little breeze. A Bonney expert can help you with sizing and then can install the fan safely and properly. You do not want to install a fan incorrectly, as it could come unfastened and cause damage or harm. Do not leave anything to chance, and have a professional handle it for you. ### Rewiring Your electrical panel may fail with age, and your wires might too. Or your wires may be substandard products installed in your home by a contractor looking to save on materials. Whatever the reason, if your wiring starts to malfunction, then you may need your entire home rewired. Bonney has the experts you need to rewire your home safely and with as little inconvenience to you as possible.

We are the experts in the area when it comes to installing, maintaining, and repairing water heaters. Our experts are always up to date on new technologies and can fix any heater no matter what age, brand, or type. ### Standard Water Heaters Most homes and businesses in Fairfield have a traditional water heater that uses a tank to heat and store water. Once the water is needed, it is ready to go and the tank dispenses it. Once the hot water runs out, the tank will automatically refill. It’s a simple system, but there are many components involved and many different types of standard water heaters. We can fix any type, and also help you choose a new one based on your needs. ### Tankless Water Heaters The new trend is to install tankless water heaters when replacing an old one. A tankless heater provides several benefits over traditional ones. For instance, since there is no tank, there is no wasted energy keeping water warm. It gets heated as it is needed. Since there are fewer components, they usually do not need repairing as often, and they last longer. On top of that, you never have to worry about running out of hot water. Call Bonney today if you need help with a tankless water heater, or if you want to discuss if one is right for you. ### 24 Hour Plumber Services Plumbing emergencies happen all the time. Sometimes they happen on quiet Sunday afternoons, and sometimes they happen in the middle of the night. No matter when one happens to you, with Bonney’s 24-hour emergency services line, you will never be out of reach of a plumber. Simply call the emergency number and a plumber will be dispatched as quickly as possible to your home. Plumbing problems will only get worse, and we understand the need to have problems addressed quickly. ### Plumbing Inspections The best way to avoid making any emergency calls is by having a licensed plumbing professional inspect your plumbing system on a regular basis. This will allow them to identify any potential issues and rectify them right away. If small things are left to their own devices, they can become major problems. You do not want the first time a plumber sees your plumbing system to be the same time that they are there to repair a burst pipe or a backed-up sewer line. ### Pipe Replacement Replacing pipes is not as simple a process as it might seem. It involves careful planning and careful and precise execution. Do not try it yourself. Bonney’s expert plumbers can remove old pipes that have deteriorated with time and install new ones in their place. You have noticed that your water is a rusty color, or that your water pressure has dropped significantly. These could be signs of failing pipes. ### Drain Cleaning Drains get clogged all the time. In many cases, it’s because debris has been allowed to build up in the drain until it is simply too blocked up to allow water to go through. Sometimes you can clear a blockage yourself, but there may be other times when a professional from Bonney is needed. We are the clog experts and will remove the blockage and fully clean out the drain so that debris can’t continue to collect. ### Sewer Line Service You do not want to have issues with your sewer lines. If a sewer line gets clogged, then you could end up with raw sewage backing up into your home. Not only does this create an unsightly mess, but it is also a health hazard. Bonney plumbers can inspect and maintain your sewer lines, as well as repair any problems that they might have. Shifting soils and extreme temperatures can cause havoc with your lines, so it’s best to keep an eye on them. ### Hydro Jetting For some of those stubborn clogs, our technicians may need to use a hydro jet. This piece of equipment will put water under high pressure to blast through blockages and get water flowing properly again. It’s important to have the proper training to operate a hydro jet since incorrect use can lead to injury and damage to pipes. ### Plumbing Products and Brands Bonney carries a wide assortment of plumbing products and appliances as well.

There is no reason that you can’t be prepared and protect your home from the damages that can be caused by blackouts. Call today to talk about Bonney Generac brand standby generators. Power outages are inconvenient, but can also cause real issues with your home or business. Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air is dedicated to making sure that all of our clients are protected by installing generators outside homes and businesses. We have a team of experienced and professional electricians who understand that not everyone has the same needs when it comes to backup generators. They will help you choose the best option for you to make sure you are protected. Blackouts and power outages seem to be on the rise in California. While most of them are very short, some can go on for hours at a time.

A standby backup generator is an alternate power source that will automatically kick in when a building loses power. It can provide energy to the entire building, or to specific outlets. There is a transfer switch that will shift the load over to the generator when the power goes out, and it will shut down when the power is restored. Backup generators are great for preventing power loss during a blackout because they are not connected to the power grid. They use propane or natural gas as fuel, so they only need to be filled to the right level to be activated and function. They automatically turn on and off, and they automatically test themselves, so there is very little that you need to do to stay protected. If a blackout happens when you are away from home, there are even some models that you can operate remotely through a wireless internet connection. ### Backup Generator Maintenance and Repair Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air has built trust with Lincoln residents by providing top-quality service and workmanship.

That last category is for those who have reached the height of the professional They can handle any electrical issue that might come up. ### Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter Installing a ground fault circuit interrupter can keep you and your family safe from electrocution and shocks. When an electrical current comes into contact with water, it can mean big trouble. A GFCI shuts off power to an outlet if it senses that the current has gone into the water. That way the risk of shock is lessened. They are usually found in kitchens and bathrooms for that reason. Make sure to test your outlet every month, but a GFCI that isn’t working is no use to you.

A well-lit home draws the eye and makes it stand out in the neighborhood. It also makes a home less attractive for thieves and vandals. Make sure to keep your fixtures clear of dirt, leaves, and branches, as they can cause serious damage. A Bonney specialist will work with you to design an outdoor lighting system that you will love. ### Electrical Safety in Your Rancho Cordova Home We all want our electrical system to work perfectly at all times. However, it can absolutely be dangerous if you do not treat electricity with the respect it deserves. Here are some tips to avoid electrical disasters: - Don’t cover up extension cords with carpet. - Never use extension cords as a permanent solution - Replace cords immediately if you see any damage - Never use water to put out electrical fires, use fire extinguishers - Install tamper-proof receptacles to protect from shocks - Schedule annual electrical inspections - Unplug appliances that emit sparks Please follow the safety tips above that help keep everyone safe. ### Home LED Lighting If you aren’t already considering making the switch to LED lighting for your home, you certainly should be. LED lighting provides many benefits over traditional incandescent bulbs. For instance, they are much more energy efficient, so you will make back your initial investment pretty quickly. Bulbs also have a much longer lifespan. They can sometimes last around 20 years. They also give off less heat, so there is less risk of injury or fire. Plus, they do not burn out suddenly, potentially leaving you in a difficult position. They burn out slowly, so you will have plenty of warning time to get new bulbs. ### Surge Suppressors Power surges can wreak havoc on your electrical system. Not only that, but they can damage your electronics if they get overloaded. Usually, a power surge is the result of a lightning strike or from faulty wiring. A home surge suppressor will keep the electricity level in your system at a manageable level, protecting you and your electrical system from harm. ### Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Never skip anything when it comes to the safety and security of those in your household. That includes smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure to have at least one smoke detector on every floor, and a carbon monoxide detector near any sleeping areas. Batteries need to be replaced every 6 months to be absolutely sure the alarms won’t fail. Smoke detectors should be replaced completely every 10 years, and every 7 years for CO detectors. ### Electric Panel Services The electric panel is the nerve center of your entire electrical system. If you have noticed recently that your lights are flickering, or your breakers are tripping, or that there is a strange unidentified smell in the air, you may have a panel problem. Many older panels do not have the capacity to handle the power demands of a modern household. One of our Bonney specialists can take a look at your panel and make any upgrades to make sure that it can handle the load going forward. ### Ceiling Fans Increase the visual appeal, and the comfort, of any room in the home with a great ceiling fan. The key is finding a fan that fits the room in which you are installing it. You can’t go too small, or else the fan won’t cover the entire room. You also can’t go too big, as the blades could strike the walls, or the breeze could overwhelm the room. If you are looking at installing a new ceiling fan, consult with an expert at Bonney first. We will discuss with you what size would be appropriate, and install it for you safely and securely. ### Rewiring We already know that your electric panel may wear down over time, but your wires can, too. Sometimes it’s due to age, and sometimes it’s because the last electrical contractor you hired used sub-standard material to cut costs. Failing wires can pose a danger, and can also make your electrical system run inefficiently. Make sure that if you see any signs of your wires starting to fail, you call Bonney right away. The signs below will let you know your home needs some rewiring: - Circuit breakers regularly tripping - Aluminum wiring, which is a major fire risk - Any vibration, shock or buzz when turning on appliances - Dimming or flickering lights when using appliances such as a vacuum - Loose electrical outlets - A house that more than 40 years old - A burning smell coming from electrical outlets If you notice any of the above issues, or if you need assistance with any of the issues listed above, please call Bonney today. ## Rancho Cordova Electrical FAQs ### What electrical services does Bonney provide in Rancho Cordova, CA?

There are 4 levels to being a licensed electrician. The first is an apprentice. This is when someone is still learning and must be closely monitored while they do their work. After 2 years, they are eligible to graduate to being a wireman. These electricians can work unsupervised in residential projects, but not for commercial projects. After that level is the journeyman. These electricians are all-around experts and are certified to handle just about anything that comes their way. The final level is the master electrician. A master is certified in all aspect of electrical services and is also able to make sure that others are doing quality work as well. ### Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) helps to protect a home against the dangers of electricity coming into contact with water. Shock and damage are very real threats in these situations. GFCI outlets are commonly installed in kitchens and bathrooms since those are the places in the home with the most moisture. Make sure to test them each month. You only have to press the “test” button and then check if there is still power. If not, then it is functioning properly. If there is, then the outlet is faulty and needs to be replaced. Contact Bonney to install or replace GFCI outlets in your home. ### Landscape and Outdoor Lighting Installation A great way to spruce up the exterior of your home is to install outdoor and landscape lighting. This provides a wonderful nighttime curb appeal and also scares off would-be intruders. A specialist at Bonney will be happy to work with you to design the perfect outdoor lighting system that is both beautiful and functional. Just remember to provide regular upkeep on your lighting fixtures. This means keeping them clear of debris, leaves, branches, and dirt. You should also replace burnt out bulbs as soon as possible. ### Electrical Safety in Your Roseville Home We all want our [electrical system](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) to work perfectly at all times. However, it can absolutely be dangerous if you do not treat electricity with the respect it deserves. Here are some tips to avoid electrical disasters: - Don’t cover up extension cords with carpet. - Never use extension cords as a permanent solution - Replace cords immediately if you see any damage - Never use water to put out electrical fires, use fire extinguishers - Install tamper-proof receptacles to protect from shocks - Schedule annual electrical inspections - Unplug appliances that emit sparks Please follow the safety tips above that help keep everyone safe. ### Home LED Lighting LED lighting is becoming more popular with homeowners after being mostly an afterthought for many years. The fact is, you may pay some more upfront, but LED is a vastly superior lighting option when compared to incandescent bulbs. They will help you save on your energy bills by being so efficient, and they tend to last for around 20 years. Not only that, but they are much easier and pleasing to the eye as well. LED bulbs give off less heat than traditional ones, so they come with less of a risk of fire or injury. Contact a specialist at Bonney today to discuss how you can make the switch. ### Surge Suppressors There is no reason to live in fear of power surges. When there is a thunderstorm, you don’t have to unplug your electronics to protect them from overloading. Power surges happen when too much electricity is introduced all at once to your electrical system. Surge suppressors prevent this from happening by limiting the amount of electricity that flows through your electric panel. Keep your property and your belongings safe by having Bonney install one in your home. ### Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors There is no reason not to have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. They are unobtrusive and inexpensive, and they will save your life. There should be at least 1 smoke detector on every floor of your home. You need to test them every month and replace their batteries every 6 months. A good rule of thumb is to replace them when you set your clocks back or forward. Each detector should be replaced completely every 10 years. There should be a carbon monoxide detector near any area where there are bedrooms. Test them every month as well, and replace the units every 7 years. ### Electric Panel Services Your electric panel distributes power throughout the building. As they age, they can either wear down or be outdated. Older panels do not have the capacity to handle the power demands of the modern home. When it starts to fail, you will start to see flickering lights, your breakers tripping, and even a strange smell in the air. Call Bonney electrical to have a look at your panel and make the upgrades needed to keep up with the power demands of your home. ### Ceiling Fans Getting a ceiling fan is a great choice to add some appeal to a room, but make sure that you choose the right size. You can go with a size anywhere between 30 inches to 52, depending on the size of the room. A Bonney specialist will hell you install it safely and securely as well. There should always be at least 8 inches from the blades to the ceiling, and 9 feet to the floor. Never install a ceiling fan above a bed, either, in case it comes loose and causes injury or worse. ### Rewiring The wires in your home will wear down over time, which means your home will need to be rewired. Safety codes may have also changed, so your home may no longer be safe from electrical fires. The experts at Bonney can provide rewiring services to get your system up to code and running efficiently.

Bonney Generac brand standby backup generators will ensure that nothing gets turned off during a blackout or power disruption. Call today for an estimate. There is no benefit to the power going out.

A standby backup generator is not like a portable generator. It has a transfer switch that will activate the unit automatically when it senses that there has been a loss of power to the building. It will then run and power everything in the home while there is an outage. When the power is restored, the unit will then shut down and wait for the next time. You will not have a disruption in your power and will not experience any inconveniences because of it. Propane and natural gas are used to fuel generators, so as long as the unit is filled to the proper levels, it will help keep the lights on. Unlike portable generators, a standby generator turns on automatically so that you do not have to make any effort to turn it on. A standby generator can also perform a self-test to make sure that everything is functioning as it should. ### Backup Generator Maintenance and Repair Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air has been operating in Granite Bay and the areas that surround it for many years.

They are not just annoying, but they are dangerous, too. That is why Bonney electric is available around the clock for Fair Oaks homeowners. We are there when you need us, no matter what time of day it is. Call us on our 24-hour emergency line to get your problem solved fast. **Bonney offers an extensive list of electrical services in Fair Oaks, CA, including:** - Equipment Repair/Hook Up - Backup Home Generators - Breakers & Fuses - Ceiling Fans - Lighting Design & Repair - Exhaust Fans - Home Safety Check - Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors - Fire Marshall/Code Correction - Outdoor & Landscape Lighting - Troubleshooting & Repair - Overhead Lighting - Surge Protectors - Light Switches - Grounding Systems - Electrical Outlets - Electric Panels - Meter Bases - Phone Jacks & Cable Outlets - Electrical Maintenance - Track Lighting Installation - GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) - ARC-Fault Breakers - New Wiring for Appliances Even if the service you need is not on this list, give us a call and see if we can still help you. ### Licensed Electricians in the Fair Oaks, CA Area Bonney employs only licensed and insured electricians, so you can rest assured you are in good hands when you call us. Our electricians fall into 4 categories. After schooling, an electrician must serve as an apprentice for at least 2 years. Then they are eligible to become wiremen. Wiremen can work alone on residential projects but must be supervised for commercial jobs. After that, they can become journeyman electricians. At this level, they can work on almost any type of electrical problem or project, under supervision from a master. A [master electrician](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) can handle any electrical issue or installation and monitor the work of others to make sure that it is excellent. ### Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter The biggest component of the electrical system that you should consider is safety. Ground fault circuit interrupters can provide that in rooms such as the bathroom and kitchen that have a lot of moisture. The GFCI will shut down if the current comes into contact with water. That way you can avoid getting shocked. The outlet should be inspected on a monthly basis, by simply pressing the “test” button. If it does not shut off, then you have a problem and you should call Bonney to have it replaced immediately. You do not want it to fail when you need it most. ### Landscape and Outdoor Lighting Installation You don’t have to neglect the outside of your house when it comes to lighting. A good outdoor lighting design can provide visibility for nighttime gatherings and also highlight sections of your property to which you want to draw attention. Not only that, but criminals are generally not too keen to attack homes with a lot of lighting. Bonney can work with you to design a lighting system that is functional, looks great, and meets all of your needs. Call us for a consultation. ### Electrical Safety in Your Fair Oaks Home We all want our electrical system to work perfectly at all times. However, it can absolutely be dangerous if you do not treat electricity with the respect it deserves. Here are some tips to avoid electrical disasters: - Don’t cover up extension cords with carpet. - Never use extension cords as a permanent solution - Replace cords immediately if you see any damage - Never use water to put out electrical fires, use fire extinguishers - Install tamper-proof receptacles to protect from shocks - Schedule annual electrical inspections - Unplug appliances that emit sparks Please follow the safety tips above that help keep everyone safe. ### Home LED Lighting LED lighting is most often associated with commercial locations, but that is changing. More and more homeowners are choosing LED for their lighting needs since it provides so many benefits. These include increased energy efficiency, an incredibly long lifespan of around 20 years, and they give off less heat. Your pocketbook will thank you, as will your smoke detector. LED bulbs do not suddenly burn out and leave you in the dark, either. They gradually get dimmer, so that you have advanced warning that you need to replace them. Talk to one of the specialists at Bonney to discuss how you can make the switch. ### Surge Suppressors A home surge suppressor will help protect you and your belongings from harm in the case of a power surge. These tend to happen during lightning storms, which is why many people will tell you to unplug your computer during a storm. A surge suppressor will only allow enough electricity into your system to power your home, and nothing more. That way your circuits will not get overloaded and damage your electronics and home. ### Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors There should be a smoke detector on each floor of your home. If your home is large, then it is better to have more than one. Test them every month, and switch out your batteries every 6 months. You want to always be sure that they are in working order. A carbon monoxide detector should be in any area where people sleep. They can also be tested every month, and the entire unit should be replaced every 7 years. If you hear either of these alarms go off, then get everyone out of the home and contact the fire department right away. These alarms can save your life. ### Electric Panel Services The electric panel is the heart of your electrical system. All power goes through the panel and sent to the various places around the home. In older homes, this panel may not be made for the demands that we currently put on them. Older panels tend to be only 100 amps when ideally you want 150 to 200 amps of capacity. You may have noticed flickering lights or a strange smell. These are both signs that there is an issue with the panel. Call a specialist at Bonney to make the upgrades so that your panel can adequately meet your needs. ### Ceiling Fans Believe it or not, but ceiling fans can be a safety and damage hazard if they are not installed correctly. You must make sure that you have a fan that is the right size for the room in which you are putting it. The blades have to allow for adequate clearance to the walls, ceiling, and floor. A Bonney specialist can help you pick out the right size of fan, and install it safely and securely. An insecure fan can come crashing down at any time because of how much motion there is to its function. ### Rewiring Your electric panel needs to be up to the job, and the same can be said for the wires in your home. They are like veins, and if they have worn down, then your system will not be running smoothly or efficiently. If you see any signs of wire failure, then you may need to rewire your home. The signs below will let you know your home needs some rewiring: - Circuit breakers regularly tripping - Aluminum wiring, which is a major fire risk - Any vibration, shock or buzz when turning on appliances - Dimming or flickering lights when using appliances such as a vacuum - Loose electrical outlets - A house that more than 40 years old - A burning smell coming from electrical outlets If you notice any of the above issues, or if you need assistance with any of the issues listed above, please call Bonney today. ## Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Services in Fair Oaks ### Does Bonney offer emergency electrical repair in Fair Oaks?

When the hot water runs out because too much has been used in a small period fo time, a hot water heater will refill automatically so that you are never out for long. There are several types of hot water heater, and [Bonney experts](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) can service any one of them. Call us today to see how we can help you. ### Standard Water Heaters The most common type of water heater is a standard water heater. There are more homes in Woodland that have this kind of water heater than any other. To avoid being stuck without hot water, make sure to have a Bonney professional inspect your unit and make any fixes and tweaks if necessary. They can also provide comprehensive maintenance and repair services. ### Tankless Water Heaters While tankless water heaters aren’t the most common yet, they are gaining fast.

The best way to avoid it is by having an expert inspect your plumbing system on an ongoing basis. They can check for flaws and weaknesses, and provide more support to those spots. They can also repair any minor issues that pop up. Big plumbing problems are more often than not the result of small problems going undetected, so having a regular inspection can keep things running well at all times. ### Pipe Replacement There will come a time in every home or building’s life when the pipes have to be replaced. This can happen due to age in most cases. Pipes start to rust and break down, and eventually, they fail. Your water may turn a reddish color, or your water pressure might suddenly plummet. Whatever the cause, repiping a building is a job that requires extensive knowledge of how pipes work, and attention to detail to make sure that they all fit securely and safely. ### Drain Cleaning Cleaning out drains can help prevent clogs that can be a great headache. Some clogs are the result of a buildup of organic matter, debris, and other materials. You might clear a clog seemingly easily, but that doesn’t mean that everything isn’t cleared away. A Bonney drain expert can clean out drains that are prone to clogging so that the water is not hindered anymore and those clogs are things of the past. ### Sewer Line Service Never neglect your sewer lines. They are the most important pipes in your plumbing system since they direct dirty water into the sewer system. They can get clogged, or they can get damaged from things like extreme temperatures and encroaching roots. Bonney has sewer line experts who can make sure that your lines are clear at all times and that the pipes are in good repair. If not, they can fix those issues quickly and affordably. ### Hydro Jetting Hydro jetting is a powerful method for cleaning out pipes. It involves placing water under great pressure and flushing it down the pipes to knock down blockages and scour the sides of the pipes to prevent further ones.

Our experts can handle any drain clogs, leaks, water heater service and installation, toilet clogs, leaky faucets, and everything else under the sun when it comes to plumbing. We staff only the best plumbing professionals who pass background checks and drug tests. You can lay your head at night knowing that you are in excellent hands with our plumbers. Each one is also fully insured in case of any accidents that might happen on your property. ### Water Heaters Newcastle, CA Water heaters are a big part of the day to day life of any family. Hot water helps with showers, dishwashing, clothes washing, and much more. To prevent having issues with your [water heater](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/), call us at Bonney to have a technician inspect, maintain, and possibly repair your unit as well. We can work on both standard and tankless water heaters. ### Standard Water Heaters There is a good chance that your home or business has a standard water heater if it has not been replaced in recent years. This means there is a large tank that holds and heats the water until it is ready for being used. Bonney’s professional plumbers can work on any type of standard water heaters, and if you are thinking of replacing your current one, call one of our experts for guidance. ### Tankless Water Heaters As the name would suggest, tankless water heaters do not use a tank to store hot water. A tankless unit heats up water as it comes into the building, so you will never run out of hot water in the middle of a shower. Tankless water heaters have a reputation for lasting longer and being better with energy than traditional heaters. If you would like one installed in your building, call Bonney and discuss with one of our representatives. ### 24 Hour Plumber Services You can always reach a Bonney plumber. We have a dedicated emergency line that is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A plumbing disaster could happen in the middle of the night, or in the middle of the day, and we will be able to get a plumber to your door as soon as possible to address your issue. ### Plumbing Inspections The best way to avoid needing the emergency line is to sign up for plumbing inspection services. A trained professional from Bonney can examine and evaluate your entire plumbing system to identify any issues that there might be. If there is something wrong, or something that could develop into a problem, then the technician can quickly and easily fix it. That way, you have a professional keeping an eye on your plumbing system before you end up with a puddle on your floor or drips coming from your ceiling. ### Pipe Replacement Have you suddenly had a drop in water pressure? Does your water look, taste, or smell strange? If so, then it might be time to replace the pipes. Pipes can wear down over time, and at some point they will stop properly containing water or leaching contaminants into the water. Bonney has repiping specialists who can remove all of the old pipes and replace them with brand new ones. ### Drain Cleaning Do you find that you have a sink or a tub that gets clogged up all the time? Do you clear the clog, and then within a few weeks it happens again? This might be because you have a buildup in your drain that is only being partially moved away when you use your liquid plumbing product. A Bonney clog expert will not just take care of the clog, but also clean out your drain so that the buildup is completely gone. ### Sewer Line Service You never want to have issues with your sewer lines. They do the important job of taking dirty water out of your home and directing it to the sewer system. We have specialists who can inspect your lines on a regular basis to make sure the water is flowing properly. If there is an extreme temperature fluctuation, or if the soil around your lines has shifted, then you could be in store for some serious problems. ### Hydro Jetting Hydro jetting may be the most effective way to clear a clog. This means sending a flow of water through the pipes under high pressure. It will push through any barrier and scrape the sides of the pipes to clean them off. It works extremely well, however it should only be attempted by a trained professional. Hydro jetting can damage older pipes and the operator could get injured. ### Plumbing Products and Brands If there is a plumbing issue you can handle yourself, then Bonney is here to help with that, too! Call us today to see what products or equipment we have in stock that will make your next DIY plumbing project a success. ## Newcastle Plumbing FAQs ### What plumbing services does Bonney provide in Newcastle, CA?

Bonney plumbing provides all plumbing services, including leak detection, toilet clogs, and water heater installation. There is no plumbing job too big, and no job too small. ![Plumber Cameron Park](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Plumbers-and-Plumbing-repair-225x300.jpg) We have a team of trusted plumbing professionals who believe not just in providing the highest quality workmanship, but also excellent customer service. The plumber who comes to your door to fix your issue will be fully background checked and carry licenses required by the state of California. Our focus is always on the safety and comfort of our clients and providing them with the most stress-free plumbing experience possible. ### Water Heaters Cameron Park, CA The water heater is the unsung hero of any building. Water doesn’t just magically appear out of your taps at a hot temperature. We understand how important a water heater is to a household, and we consider ourselves the experts at installing, maintaining, and repairing them. Thinking of getting a new tankless water heater? If so, talk to once of our experts to give you all the information you need to make an informed choice. ### Standard Water Heaters Traditional standard water heaters are the most common type of water heaters in Cameron Park. They are comprised of a large tank that stores water until it is ready to be used. The tank remains heated so that there is always hot water ready to go. There are many varieties of standard water heaters, so talk to a Bonney specialist to talk about your options. ### Tankless Water Heaters More tankless water heaters are being installed in homes and businesses than ever before, and with good reason. With a tankless heater, you never have to worry about running out of hot water. Water is quickly heated as it is put into use, so there is no tank involved that can run out. They are also more energy-efficient and have a longer shelf-life than traditional water heaters. ### 24 Hour Plumber Services What do you do if you notice a leak in your bathroom when you get up in the middle of the night? You can’t wait until morning, or else it will only get worse. That’s why Bonney’s 24 hours a day, 7 days a week emergency line is so vital. We can have a plumber to your door, day or night, to address your plumbing issue right away. ### Plumbing Inspections It might seem like plumbing emergencies strike out of the blue, but the reality is that they are largely very preventable. Disasters happen when small issues are allowed to develop into major ones. Having an annual inspection means that a Bonney expert can thoroughly inspect your [plumbing system](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/) to check for any potential and current problems. They will then fix those problems so that they don’t have a chance to grow into catastrophes. By paying for inspections, you can avoid the cost of a large repair after a major plumbing issue. ### Pipe Replacement Like anything else, pipes can start to break down as they age. When this starts to happen, you may need your home or business to undergo repiping. This is the process of removing old or damaged pipes and replacing them with new ones. It involves careful planning and precision work, and should not be attempted by amateurs. If you notice that your water has a strange smell, or that your water is discolored, then you may have failing pipes that need to be replaced. ### Drain Cleaning Clogs happen to every home and every business in Cameron Park and around the world. In the vast majority of cases, you can remove the clog yourself with a plunger or a product you purchased at the local hardware store. However, there may be some clogs that cannot be removed with these common techniques. The clog clearing experts at Bonney can break down stubborn clogs so that the water flows properly again. ### Sewer Line Service Sewer line backups are especially difficult to deal with. That’s because sewer lines carry your dirty water to the sewer system, and if they are backed up then that dirty water has nowhere to go but into your home. The professional plumbers at Bonney will clean out your lines, or repair and replace them if need be. Failing sewer lines are often caused by shifting soil or rapid temperature changes. ### Hydro Jetting Hyrdo jetting requires special training and the expert experience of a professional. Otherwise, it could cause further damage or injury. It involves blasting through blockages with highly pressured water. It is quick and efficient but is only used for the most stubborn clogs you can imagine. ### Plumbing Products and Brands There are some plumbing jobs that you can do yourself, and Bonney can help with that too. Call us today to help advise you as to what products and equipment can help you with your next plumbing project. ## Frequently Asked Questions About Plumbing Services in Cameron Park ### What plumbing services does Bonney provide in Cameron Park?

From older plumbing materials near downtown Placerville to longer underground lines on foothill properties, drain and sewer issues can develop slowly over time before turning into a major backup, clog, or underground repair need. Bonney has been serving Greater Sacramento area homeowners since 1976, and our licensed plumbers understand the drain and sewer issues that are common throughout Placerville and the surrounding El Dorado County foothills. Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, a slow drain, recurring backups, or concerns about what’s happening underground, we have the tools and experience to find the problem and fix it right. We’re available 7 days a week with no extra charge for weekends, and we offer upfront pricing so you know what to expect before we start. ## Drain & Sewer Services in Placerville ### Drain Cleaning in Placerville A slow drain is easy to ignore until it becomes a complete blockage. Hair, grease, soap buildup, food debris, and everyday household waste can build up gradually inside your pipes. By the time a kitchen sink, bathroom drain, tub, shower, laundry drain, or floor drain is noticeably slow, the restriction is often more significant than it seems. Bonney provides professional drain cleaning throughout Placerville for kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, tub and shower drains, laundry drains, floor drains, and more. Our plumbers use the right equipment for each situation, from drain snakes for straightforward clogs to more advanced methods for stubborn buildup. We’ll clear the blockage completely and let you know if there’s an underlying issue that needs attention. ### Hydro Jetting in Placerville For drains and sewer lines with serious buildup, a standard snake is not always enough. Grease accumulation, mineral scale, sludge, sediment, and years of debris can narrow the inside of a pipe and lead to slow drains or repeated backups. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the interior walls of the pipe, removing buildup that standard cabling may leave behind. The result is a cleaner pipe that can flow more freely for longer. Hydro jetting is especially helpful for Placerville homes with recurring drain issues, mature trees near sewer lines, or older pipes that have collected years of buildup. Bonney’s technicians will assess your line first and recommend hydro jetting only when it makes sense for your home. ### Sewer Camera Inspection in Placerville When drain problems keep coming back, or when you’re buying a home in Placerville and want to know what you’re inheriting underground, a sewer camera inspection gives you a clear look inside your sewer line. Our technicians run a flexible camera through your sewer line and record what they find, including root intrusion, cracks, offset joints, buildup, bellied sections, or collapsed pipe. You’ll see exactly what the camera sees, and we’ll walk you through what it means in clear, practical terms. There’s no guesswork and no unnecessary digging before we know what we’re dealing with. Camera inspections are especially valuable for older Placerville homes, hillside properties, homes near large trees, and properties with unknown or aging underground plumbing. They’re also a smart step before purchasing a home, since sewer repairs can become one of the more expensive surprises for new homeowners. ### Sewer Repair and Replacement in Placerville When a sewer line is cracked, collapsed, severely root-invaded, or simply worn out, repair or replacement may be necessary. Bonney provides sewer line repair and replacement throughout Placerville, and our technicians will give you an honest assessment of whether a repair can extend your line’s life or whether full replacement is the more practical long-term solution. We’ll explain the scope of work, the timeline, and the cost before anything begins, so you know exactly what to expect. Whether the issue is a damaged section of pipe, recurring backups, or a sewer line that has reached the end of its service life, Bonney has the equipment and experience to complete the job properly. ### Trenchless Sewer Repair and Replacement in Placerville Traditional sewer repair can mean digging through lawns, landscaping, driveways, patios, walkways, and outdoor living areas. For Placerville homeowners with mature landscaping, sloped lots, gravel driveways, retaining walls, or hardscaping, that disruption can add stress and cost to an already frustrating plumbing issue. Trenchless sewer repair and replacement addresses damaged sewer lines with minimal excavation. Depending on the condition and layout of your line, Bonney may be able to rehabilitate your existing pipe in place or pull a new pipe through the old one, helping preserve your landscaping and hardscaping. It’s not the right solution for every situation, but when it applies, it can save significant time, money, and disruption. ### Pipeline and Brush Coating in Placerville For older pipes that show signs of interior corrosion, rough surfaces, or minor deterioration but are not yet ready for full replacement, pipeline and brush coating can help extend their useful life. This process applies an epoxy lining to the interior of the pipe, sealing small cracks, smoothing rough areas, and creating a protective barrier against further wear. Pipeline and brush coating can be a less invasive and less expensive option than replacement when the pipe is still structurally sound. It may be especially useful for Placerville homes with aging cast iron, clay, or older drain lines where the goal is to improve flow and prevent further deterioration without major excavation. ## What Placerville Homeowners Should Know About Their Sewer Lines Placerville includes a mix of historic homes, established neighborhoods, rural residential properties, and hillside homes. That variety means sewer and drain issues can look different from one property to the next. Some homes may be dealing with older pipe materials, while others may have issues related to tree roots, grading, soil movement, or long underground drain and sewer runs. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in established and wooded areas. Roots naturally seek out moisture and can enter through small cracks or joints in older pipes, eventually causing blockages or structural damage. Ground movement and foothill terrain can shift pipes over time, creating offset joints or low spots where waste and debris can collect. These issues often lead to recurring backups that come back even after a drain has been cleared. Buildup, corrosion, and pipe deterioration can develop gradually, especially in older lines. Over time, the interior diameter of the pipe can narrow, flow can become restricted, and weak areas can eventually fail. A sewer camera inspection is the most straightforward way to understand the condition of your sewer line and make informed decisions about maintenance, repair, or replacement. ## Why Placerville Homeowners Choose Bonney Drain and sewer problems rarely happen at a convenient time. Bonney’s approach is to make the process as straightforward as possible by showing up when scheduled, explaining what we find clearly, and completing the work cleanly and correctly.

Request Service Call 916.304.8884 ## Drain & Sewer Service FAQs **What’s causing my drains to back up repeatedly in Placerville?** Recurring drain backups can be caused by root intrusion, buildup deep in the line, an offset pipe joint, a low spot in the pipe, or a partially collapsed section. These problems can cause drains to back up repeatedly even after clearing. A sewer camera inspection is the most reliable way to identify the root cause and avoid repeated service calls. **How do I know if I need drain cleaning or hydro jetting?** Drain cleaning with a cable or snake is appropriate for many standard clogs and blockages. Hydro jetting may be a better option for lines with significant grease, sludge, mineral buildup, recurring slow drains, or a history of repeated backups. Bonney’s technicians will assess your line and recommend the right approach before starting. **Does Bonney offer trenchless sewer repair in Placerville?** Yes. Depending on the location, condition, and layout of your sewer line, Bonney may be able to repair or replace it using trenchless methods that require minimal excavation. This can help preserve landscaping, driveways, patios, walkways, and hardscaping that would otherwise need to be disturbed with traditional digging. We’ll let you know whether your situation qualifies after a camera inspection. **Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a home in Placerville?** Yes, especially if the home is older, has mature trees on or near the property, sits on foothill terrain, or has a history of plumbing issues. A camera inspection before closing gives you a clear picture of the sewer line’s condition, helps identify potential repair needs, and can prevent a major surprise after you move in. --- ### [Expert Air Conditioning Services in Placerville](https://www.bonney.com/expert-air-conditioning-services-placerville/) **Published:** June 15, 2026 **Author:** Sarah **Content:** # Expert Air Conditioning Services in Placerville Placerville summers can bring long, hot days across the Sierra foothills, with afternoon heat that makes a reliable air conditioning system essential. Whether you live near historic downtown Placerville, Missouri Flat Road, Broadway, or one of the area’s hillside neighborhoods, your cooling system needs to be ready for the demands of summer in El Dorado County. Bonney’s air conditioning services have been keeping Greater Sacramento area homes cool and comfortable since 1976, and we bring that same dependable service to every AC job in Placerville and the surrounding foothill communities. Whether your system has stopped cooling, is running constantly without keeping up, or you’re ready to replace an aging unit before it fails, our certified HVAC technicians are here to help. We’re available 7 days a week with no extra charge for weekends, and we offer upfront, job-based pricing so you know what to expect before work begins. ## Air Conditioning Services in Placerville ### AC Repair in Placerville A malfunctioning air conditioner during a Placerville summer can quickly turn your home uncomfortable. Warm air blowing from the vents, weak airflow, short cycling, unusual noises, ice forming on the unit, or a sudden increase in your energy bill are all signs your cooling system may need professional attention. Bonney’s HVAC technicians diagnose AC problems accurately and explain your options clearly before any work begins. We charge by the job, not by the hour, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Our team services all major air conditioning brands and can handle everything from refrigerant issues and failed capacitors to compressor problems, thermostat faults, and airflow concerns. We offer air conditioning repair 7 days a week, including emergency service for cooling problems that can’t wait. If your system breaks down during a heat wave or on a hot weekend, Bonney is ready to help restore comfort to your home. ### AC Installation and Replacement in Placerville If your air conditioner is more than 12–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or can no longer keep up with the demands of a Placerville summer, it may be time to consider a replacement. Older cooling systems often lose efficiency over time, leading to higher energy bills, uneven temperatures, and more frequent breakdowns. Bonney provides air conditioning installation for Placerville homeowners, including free estimates on new systems. Our technicians will assess your home’s size, layout, insulation, sun exposure, and existing ductwork to recommend a system that is properly matched to your needs. We install RUUD equipment and offer financing options to help make your cooling upgrade easier to manage. We’ll also walk you through available rebates and tax credits that may help offset the cost of a high-efficiency air conditioning system. ### AC Tune-Ups and Maintenance in Placerville The best time to find out your air conditioner has a problem is not when the foothill heat is at its peak. Scheduling an AC tune-up before the cooling season gives our technicians the opportunity to clean the system, check refrigerant levels, test electrical components, inspect airflow, and identify small issues before they become major repairs. Regular maintenance helps your system run more efficiently, which can mean lower utility bills and less wear on the equipment over time. For many Placerville homeowners, annual tune-ups can help reduce surprise breakdowns, improve comfort, and extend the life of the cooling system. Homeowners looking for a more comprehensive approach to home maintenance can join Bonney Beyond. Members receive annual AC, heating, plumbing, and electrical inspections, priority scheduling when service is needed, extended warranties on work performed, and 15% savings across all Bonney services. ### Heat Pump Installation and Service in Placerville Heat pumps have become an increasingly popular choice for Placerville homeowners, especially for those looking for an energy-efficient way to handle both cooling and heating.

Modern heat pumps perform well in the temperature ranges common throughout Placerville and the surrounding El Dorado County foothills. Bonney provides heat pump installation, repair, and maintenance for homeowners who want efficient year-round comfort. If you’re comparing a heat pump against a traditional AC and furnace setup, our technicians can explain the differences and help you decide what makes sense for your home, comfort goals, and budget. ### Ductless Mini-Split Systems in Placerville Not every room in a Placerville home cools evenly. Additions, converted garages, guest spaces, detached offices, workshops, sunrooms, and rooms far from the main duct system can stay warmer than the rest of the house, even when the central AC is running. Ductless mini-split systems solve this problem by delivering cooling directly to the spaces that need it, without requiring new ductwork. Each indoor unit is independently controlled, which means you can cool specific areas without overworking your central system or cooling rooms you are not using. Bonney installs and services ductless systems throughout Placerville, and our technicians can help you determine whether a single-zone or multi-zone setup is the right fit. ### Indoor Air Quality Solutions Cooling your home is only part of what your HVAC system does. The same system that moves cool air through your rooms also circulates dust, allergens, pet dander, smoke particles, and other airborne contaminants. In a tightly closed, air-conditioned home, those particles can build up and affect your comfort. Bonney offers a range of indoor air quality solutions to complement your cooling system, including air filtration upgrades, whole-home air purifiers, and humidity control options. If you or someone in your household deals with allergies, asthma, wildfire smoke sensitivity, or simply wants cleaner indoor air, indoor air quality upgrades are worth discussing when we’re already servicing your system. ## Why Placerville Homeowners Choose Bonney Placerville homeowners value comfort, reliability, and contractors who understand the needs of foothill homes.

Request Service Call 916.299.0842 ## Air Conditioning Service FAQs **How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement in Placerville?** If your system is under 10–12 years old and the repair cost is less than half the cost of a new unit, repair is usually the better value. If it’s older, needs frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or simply can’t keep up with Placerville summer temperatures, replacement may be worth considering. Bonney’s technicians will give you an honest assessment and help you weigh the options. **What’s included in a Bonney AC tune-up?** Our AC tune-up includes a thorough inspection of your system’s components, cleaning of key cooling components, a refrigerant level check, thermostat calibration, inspection of electrical connections and capacitors, and an overall performance assessment. We’ll flag anything that looks like it could become a problem before your system is working its hardest. **How long does AC installation take in Placerville?** Most standard central AC installations are completed in a single day. More complex jobs involving ductwork modifications, system upgrades, or additional installation requirements may take longer. Bonney will give you a clear timeline before work begins so you can plan accordingly. **Is a heat pump a good choice for Placerville’s climate?** Yes. Heat pumps can work well in Placerville’s climate, which includes hot summers and mild-to-cool winters. They are especially efficient during moderate weather and can provide both heating and cooling through one system. For homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency or replace both heating and cooling equipment, a heat pump is worth considering. Bonney can help you compare options based on your home’s specific needs. --- ### [Expert Air Conditioning Services in Shingle Springs](https://www.bonney.com/expert-air-conditioning-services-shingle-springs/) **Published:** June 15, 2026 **Author:** Sarah **Content:** # Expert Air Conditioning Services in Shingle Springs Shingle Springs summers can bring long stretches of dry heat, warm afternoons, and triple-digit temperatures that put real demand on your home’s cooling system.

Request Service Call 916.299.0842 ## Air Conditioning Service in Shingle Springs FAQs **How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement in Shingle Springs?** If your system is under 10–12 years old and the repair cost is less than half the cost of a new unit, repair is usually the better value. If it’s older, needs frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or simply can’t keep up with Shingle Springs summer temperatures, replacement may be worth considering. Bonney’s technicians will give you an honest assessment and help you weigh the options. **What’s included in a Bonney AC tune-up?** Our AC tune-up includes a thorough inspection of your system’s components, cleaning of key cooling components, a refrigerant level check, thermostat calibration, inspection of electrical connections and capacitors, and an overall performance assessment. We’ll flag anything that looks like it could become a problem before your system is working its hardest. **How long does AC installation take in Shingle Springs?** Most standard central AC installations are completed in a single day. More complex jobs involving ductwork modifications, system upgrades, or additional installation requirements may take longer. Bonney will give you a clear timeline before work begins so you can plan accordingly. **Do you offer emergency AC repair in Shingle Springs?** Yes. Bonney provides air conditioning service 7 days a week and offers emergency support when your system goes down unexpectedly. If your AC fails during a heat wave, call 800.444.0551 and we’ll get a technician to you as quickly as possible. **Is a heat pump a good choice for Shingle Springs’ climate?** Yes. Heat pumps can work well in Shingle Springs’ climate, which includes hot summers and mild-to-cool winters. They are especially efficient during moderate weather and can provide both heating and cooling through one system. For homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency or replace both heating and cooling equipment, a heat pump is worth considering. Bonney can help you compare options based on your home’s specific needs. --- ### [Expert Sewer and Drain Services in Shingle Springs](https://www.bonney.com/expert-sewer-drain-services-shingle-springs/) **Published:** June 15, 2026 **Author:** Sarah **Content:** # Expert Sewer and Drain Services in Shingle Springs Shingle Springs homes can face a particular set of drain and sewer challenges, especially in established neighborhoods, rural residential areas, and properties with mature trees or longer sewer laterals. Tree roots, older underground plumbing, soil movement, and years of buildup can all take a toll on drain and sewer lines over time, often without obvious warning until a clog, backup, or sewer issue appears. Bonney has been serving Greater Sacramento area homeowners since 1976, and our licensed plumbers understand the drain and sewer issues that are common throughout Shingle Springs and the surrounding El Dorado County foothills. Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, a slow drain, recurring backups, or concerns about the condition of your sewer line, we have the tools and experience to find the problem and fix it right. We’re available 7 days a week with no extra charge for weekends, and we offer upfront pricing so you know what to expect before we start. ## Drain & Sewer Services in Shingle Springs ### Drain Cleaning in Shingle Springs A slow drain is easy to ignore until it becomes a complete blockage. Hair, grease, soap buildup, food debris, and everyday household waste can collect inside your pipes over time. By the time a sink, tub, shower, laundry drain, or floor drain is noticeably slow, the restriction is often more significant than it seems. Bonney provides professional drain cleaning throughout Shingle Springs for kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, tub and shower drains, laundry drains, floor drains, and more. Our plumbers use the right equipment for each situation, from drain snakes for straightforward clogs to more advanced methods for stubborn buildup. We’ll clear the blockage completely and let you know if there’s an underlying issue that needs attention. ### Hydro Jetting in Shingle Springs For drains and sewer lines with serious buildup, a standard snake is not always enough. Grease accumulation, mineral scale, sludge, sediment, and years of debris can narrow the inside of a pipe and lead to slow drains or repeated backups. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water to scour the interior walls of the pipe, removing buildup that standard cabling may leave behind. The result is a cleaner pipe that can flow more freely for longer. Hydro jetting is especially helpful for Shingle Springs homes with recurring drain issues, mature trees near sewer lines, or older pipes that have collected years of buildup. Bonney’s technicians will assess your line first and recommend hydro jetting only when it makes sense for your home. ### Sewer Camera Inspection in Shingle Springs When drain problems keep coming back, or when you’re buying a home in Shingle Springs and want to know what you’re inheriting underground, a sewer camera inspection gives you a clear look inside your sewer line. Our technicians run a flexible camera through your sewer line and record what they find, including root intrusion, cracks, offset joints, buildup, bellied sections, or collapsed pipe. You’ll see exactly what the camera sees, and we’ll walk you through what it means in clear, practical terms. There’s no guesswork and no unnecessary digging before we know what we’re dealing with. Camera inspections are especially valuable for older Shingle Springs homes, properties with large trees, and rural residential lots where longer underground lines may be harder to evaluate from the surface. They’re also a smart step before purchasing a home, since sewer repairs can become one of the more expensive surprises for new homeowners. ### Sewer Repair and Replacement in Shingle Springs When a sewer line is cracked, collapsed, severely root-invaded, or simply worn out, repair or replacement may be necessary. Bonney provides sewer line repair and replacement throughout Shingle Springs, and our technicians will give you an honest assessment of whether a repair can extend your line’s life or whether full replacement is the more practical long-term solution. We’ll explain the scope of work, the timeline, and the cost before anything begins, so you know exactly what to expect. Whether the issue is a damaged section of pipe, recurring backups, or a sewer line that has reached the end of its service life, Bonney has the equipment and experience to complete the job properly. ### Trenchless Sewer Repair and Replacement in Shingle Springs Traditional sewer repair can mean digging through lawns, landscaping, driveways, patios, walkways, and outdoor living areas. For Shingle Springs homeowners with larger lots, established landscaping, gravel drives, or hardscaping, that disruption can be a major concern. Trenchless sewer repair and replacement addresses damaged sewer lines with minimal excavation. Depending on the condition and layout of your line, Bonney may be able to rehabilitate your existing pipe in place or pull a new pipe through the old one, helping preserve your landscaping and hardscaping. It’s not the right solution for every situation, but when it applies, it can save significant time, money, and disruption. ### Pipeline and Brush Coating in Shingle Springs For older pipes that show signs of interior corrosion, rough surfaces, or minor deterioration but are not yet ready for full replacement, pipeline and brush coating can help extend their useful life. This process applies an epoxy lining to the interior of the pipe, sealing small cracks, smoothing rough areas, and creating a protective barrier against further wear. Pipeline and brush coating can be a less invasive and less expensive option than replacement when the pipe is still structurally sound. It may be especially useful for Shingle Springs homes with aging cast iron, clay, or older drain lines where the goal is to improve flow and prevent further deterioration without major excavation. ## What Shingle Springs Homeowners Should Know About Their Sewer Lines Shingle Springs includes a mix of older homes, rural residential properties, custom homes, and established neighborhoods. That variety means sewer and drain issues can look different from one property to the next. Some homes may be dealing with aging pipe materials, while others may have issues related to tree roots, grading, soil movement, or long underground drain and sewer runs. Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line problems in established and wooded areas. Roots naturally seek out moisture and can enter through small cracks or joints in older pipes, eventually causing blockages or structural damage. Ground movement and foothill terrain can shift pipes over time, creating offset joints or low spots where waste and debris can collect. These issues often lead to recurring backups that come back even after a drain has been cleared. Buildup, corrosion, and pipe deterioration can develop gradually, especially in older lines. Over time, the interior diameter of the pipe can narrow, flow can become restricted, and weak areas can eventually fail. A sewer camera inspection is the most straightforward way to understand the condition of your sewer line and make informed decisions about maintenance, repair, or replacement. ## Why Shingle Springs Homeowners Choose Bonney Drain and sewer problems rarely happen at a convenient time. Bonney’s approach is to make the process as straightforward as possible by showing up when scheduled, explaining what we find clearly, and completing the work cleanly and correctly. When you call Bonney for drain or sewer service in Shingle Springs, you can expect: - Licensed, background-checked plumbers with hands-on experience - Service available 7 days a week with no extra weekend charge - Upfront, job-based pricing before work begins - Camera inspection before recommending major sewer repairs - Trenchless options to help protect landscaping and hardscaping - Emergency service for urgent drain and sewer situations - Annual inspections available through the Bonney Beyond membership - Trusted service throughout Shingle Springs, El Dorado County, and the Greater Sacramento area Bonney Beyond members receive annual plumbing, electrical, heating, and AC inspections, plus priority scheduling, extended warranties, and 15% savings on all services.

We serve Shingle Springs and the surrounding El Dorado County area with the experience and equipment to handle any drain or sewer issue, from a simple clog to a full sewer line replacement. Request Service Call 916.299.0316 ## Drain & Sewer FAQs **What’s causing my drains to back up repeatedly in Shingle Springs?** Recurring drain backups can be caused by root intrusion, buildup deep in the line, an offset pipe joint, a low spot in the pipe, or a partially collapsed section. These problems can cause drains to back up repeatedly even after clearing. A sewer camera inspection is the most reliable way to identify the root cause and avoid repeated service calls. **How do I know if I need drain cleaning or hydro jetting?** Drain cleaning with a cable or snake is appropriate for many standard clogs and blockages. Hydro jetting may be a better option for lines with significant grease, sludge, mineral buildup, recurring slow drains, or a history of repeated backups. Bonney’s technicians will assess your line and recommend the right approach before starting. **Does Bonney offer trenchless sewer repair in Shingle Springs?** Yes. Depending on the location, condition, and layout of your sewer line, Bonney may be able to repair or replace it using trenchless methods that require minimal excavation. This can help preserve landscaping, driveways, patios, walkways, and hardscaping that would otherwise need to be disturbed with traditional digging. We’ll let you know whether your situation qualifies after a camera inspection. **Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a home in Shingle Springs?** Yes, especially if the home is older, has mature trees on or near the property, sits on foothill terrain, or has a history of plumbing issues. A camera inspection before closing gives you a clear picture of the sewer line’s condition, helps identify potential repair needs, and can prevent a major surprise after you move in. **Is emergency drain service available in Shingle Springs?** Yes. Bonney provides drain and sewer service 7 days a week and offers emergency support for urgent situations like sewage backups or complete drain failures. Call 800.444.0551 and we’ll get a technician to you as quickly as possible. --- ### [Expert Electrical Services in Cameron Park](https://www.bonney.com/expert-electrical-services-cameron-park/) **Published:** June 15, 2026 **Author:** Sarah **Content:** # Expert Electrical Services in Cameron Park Looking for electrical service in Cameron Park?

Bonney has been earning that trust with Greater Sacramento area homeowners since 1976, and we bring that same commitment to every electrical job in El Dorado County. From panel upgrades and EV charger installations to outlet repairs and whole-home safety inspections, our licensed, background-checked electricians handle the full range of residential electrical needs. ## Electrical Services Placerville Homeowners Can Count On ### Electrical Panel Replacement and Upgrades in Placerville An undersized or aging electrical panel is one of the most common (and most overlooked) safety concerns in older homes. If your breakers trip regularly, your home still has a fuse box, or you’re planning to add a major appliance or EV charger, your current panel may no longer be up to the task. Bonney’s licensed electricians provide [electrical panel replacement](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electrical-panel-replacement/) and upgrades throughout Placerville. We’ll evaluate your existing system, explain what’s needed and why, and complete the work to current code. Free estimates are available on all new panel installations, and flexible financing options are there for homeowners who need them. Upgrading your panel ensures your home is protected. A modern panel with properly rated breakers reduces the risk of overheating, electrical fires, and equipment damage throughout your home. ### Outlet Repair and Installation in Placerville An outlet that sparks, feels warm, or simply stops working is a warning sign. Bonney provides [outlet repair and installation](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/outlet-repair-installation/) in Placerville, addressing everything from failed receptacles to homes that need more circuits to keep up with modern demands. We also install [GFCI outlets](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/gfci-installation/) in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas where code requires ground-fault protection. If your home was built before GFCI requirements were standard, this is one of the most straightforward upgrades you can make for your family’s safety. Need USB outlets, tamper-resistant receptacles, or additional circuits for a home office or workshop? Our electricians will assess what makes sense for your space and get it done cleanly. ### EV Charging Station Installation in Placerville Placerville homeowners are making the switch to electric vehicles, and a dedicated home charging setup makes that transition much more practical. Plugging into a standard 120V outlet is slow and puts unnecessary strain on household circuits. A professionally installed Level 2 charger can cut your charging time dramatically and is the right long-term solution. Bonney handles [EV charging station installation](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/) from start to finish. We’ll check your panel capacity, recommend a charger that fits your vehicle and daily driving habits, pull the necessary permits, and complete the installation safely. If your panel needs an upgrade to support the new circuit, we can take care of both in the same visit. ### Whole-Home Surge Protection in Placerville Placerville’s foothill location means summer thunderstorms are a real consideration for homeowners. But lightning isn’t the only surge risk, as utility fluctuations and large appliances cycling on and off can send damaging voltage spikes through your wiring without any warning. [Whole-home surge protection](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/whole-house-surge-protection/) installed at your main panel intercepts these spikes before they reach your devices. It’s a cost-effective way to protect televisions, computers, smart home systems, and major appliances, all in a single installation. Bonney’s electricians can add whole-home surge protection to any panel, new or existing. ### Lighting Installation and Upgrades in Placerville Good lighting transforms a space, and the right electrician makes the installation seamless. Bonney handles a wide range of residential lighting work in Placerville, including [light fixture installation and repair](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/light-fixture-repair/), [ceiling fan installation](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ceiling-fan-installation/), [LED lighting upgrades](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/led-lighting/), and [outdoor lighting](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/outdoor-lighting/). Whether you’re updating a single fixture, improving outdoor security lighting, or looking to reduce energy costs with a whole-home LED conversion, our team will handle the work safely and leave your home clean. We’ll also help you think through placement and switching options so the result actually works the way you want it to. ### Electrical Safety Inspections in Placerville Electrical problems often develop slowly and silently. Overloaded circuits, deteriorating wiring insulation, missing GFCI protection, and outdated panels can all create hazards that aren’t obvious until something goes wrong. A professional inspection gives you a clear picture of where things stand — and what, if anything, needs to be addressed. Bonney’s electrical inspections cover your panel, wiring, outlets, smoke detectors, and other key components. Our electricians will explain what they find in plain language and prioritize any recommendations so you know what’s urgent and what can wait. Inspections are especially worthwhile before purchasing a home, after completing a renovation, or if your home is more than 20 years old. Homeowners looking for ongoing peace of mind can also join [Bonney Beyond](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/ "Bonney Beyond"), our home maintenance membership.

These issues can indicate overloaded circuits, wiring faults, or panel problems that shouldn’t be ignored. **How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be replaced?** Panels that are 20–30 years old, rated at 100 amps or less, still use fuses instead of breakers, or are made by manufacturers with known reliability issues may need to be replaced.

We work with all major charging equipment brands and can recommend a solution that suits your vehicle and your home’s electrical setup. --- ### [Expert Sewer and Drain Services in Cameron Park](https://www.bonney.com/expert-sewer-and-drain-services-in-cameron-park/) **Published:** June 3, 2026 **Author:** Sarah **Content:** # Expert Sewer and Drain Services in Cameron Park Cameron Park’s mature neighborhoods, established landscaping, and aging infrastructure create a particular set of challenges for homeowners when it comes to drains and sewer lines. Tree roots, decades-old pipes, and the natural settling of hillside terrain can all take a toll on underground plumbing over time, often without any visible warning until something backs up or fails. Bonney has been serving Greater Sacramento area homeowners since 1976, and our licensed plumbers understand the drain and sewer issues that are common in communities like Cameron Park. Whether you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, a slow drain, or suspect something more serious is happening underground, we have the tools and experience to find the problem and fix it right. We’re available 7 days a week with no extra charge for weekends, and we offer upfront pricing so you know what to expect before we start. ## Drain & Sewer Services in Cameron Park ### Drain Cleaning in Cameron Park A slow drain is easy to ignore, until it becomes a complete blockage. Hair, grease, soap buildup, and debris accumulate gradually, and by the time a drain is noticeably slow, the restriction is usually significant. Store-bought drain cleaners can provide temporary relief, but they rarely address the full blockage and can damage older pipes with repeated use. Bonney provides professional [drain cleaning](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/drain-clearing/) throughout Cameron Park for kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, tub and shower drains, floor drains, and more. Our plumbers use the right equipment for each situation, from drain snakes for straightforward clogs to more aggressive methods for stubborn buildup. We’ll clear the blockage completely and let you know if there’s an underlying issue that needs attention. ### Hydro Jetting in Cameron Park For drains and sewer lines with serious buildup (like grease accumulation in kitchen lines, mineral scaling, or sediment that’s narrowed a pipe over years of use), a standard snake isn’t always enough. [Hydro jetting](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/hydro-jetter/) uses a high-pressure water stream to scour the interior walls of pipes clean, removing buildup that cabling leaves behind. The result is a pipe that flows the way it’s supposed to for longer than surface-level clearing. Hydro jetting is particularly effective as a preventative measure for Cameron Park homes with mature trees near sewer lines or a history of recurring drain issues. Bonney’s technicians will assess whether hydro jetting is the right approach before recommending it. ### Sewer Camera Inspection in Cameron Park When drain problems keep coming back, or when you’re buying a home in Cameron Park and want to know what you’re inheriting underground, a [sewer camera inspection](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/camera-inspection/) gives you a clear picture of what’s actually happening inside your pipes. Our technicians run a flexible camera through your sewer line and record what they find, such as root intrusion, cracks, offset joints, buildup, or collapsed sections. You’ll see exactly what the camera sees, and we’ll walk you through what it means and what your options are. There’s no guesswork, and no excavating before we know what we’re dealing with. Camera inspections are especially valuable in Cameron Park’s older neighborhoods, where original clay or cast iron sewer lines may still be in service. They’re also a smart step before purchasing a home, as sewer repairs are one of the more significant unexpected expenses a new homeowner can face. ### Sewer Repair and Replacement in Cameron Park When a sewer line is cracked, collapsed, severely root-invaded, or simply worn out, repair or replacement becomes necessary. Bonney provides [sewer line repair and replacement](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/sewer-line-service/) throughout Cameron Park, and our technicians will give you an honest assessment of whether a repair can extend your line’s life or whether full replacement is the more practical long-term solution. We’ll explain the scope of work, the timeline, and the cost before anything begins, so no surprises on the invoice. ### Trenchless Sewer Repair and Replacement in Cameron Park Traditional sewer repair means digging through landscaping, driveways, patios, and yards. For Cameron Park homeowners who’ve invested in their outdoor spaces, that can be a significant additional cost and disruption on top of the plumbing repair itself. [Trenchless sewer repair and replacement](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/) addresses damaged sewer lines with minimal excavation. Depending on the condition and layout of your line, Bonney may be able to rehabilitate your existing pipe in place or pull a new pipe through the old one, leaving your landscaping largely intact. It’s not the right solution for every situation, but when it applies, it can save significant time, money, and disruption. ### Pipeline and Brush Coating in Cameron Park For older pipes that are showing signs of interior corrosion or minor deterioration but aren’t yet at the point of needing full replacement, [pipeline and brush coating](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/pipeline-brush-coating-sewer-repair/) can extend their useful life considerably. This process applies an epoxy lining to the interior of the pipe, sealing small cracks, smoothing rough surfaces, and creating a protective barrier against further corrosion. It’s a less invasive and less expensive option than replacement when the structural condition of the pipe still allows for it, and it’s particularly relevant for Cameron Park homes with aging cast iron or clay drain lines. ## What Cameron Park Homeowners Should Know About Their Sewer Lines Cameron Park’s development history means many homes in the area are 30–50 years old or more. Original sewer lines in these homes were often built with clay or cast iron pipe, both of which have finite lifespans and specific vulnerabilities: - **Tree roots** are among the most common causes of sewer line problems in established neighborhoods. Roots naturally seek out moisture and can infiltrate even small cracks in older pipe joints, eventually causing blockages or structural damage. - **Ground movement** on Cameron Park’s foothill terrain can shift pipes over time, creating offset joints where sections no longer align properly. Offsets cause debris to catch and accumulate, leading to recurring backups. - **Corrosion and deterioration** in older cast iron and clay lines can develop gradually, narrowing the interior diameter of the pipe or creating weak points that eventually fail. A sewer camera inspection is the most straightforward way to understand the condition of your sewer line and make informed decisions about maintenance or repair. ## Why Cameron Park Homeowners Choose Bonney Drain and sewer problems rarely happen at a convenient time. Bonney’s approach is to make the process as straightforward as possible, showing up when scheduled, explaining what we find clearly, and completing the work cleanly and correctly. When you call Bonney for drain or sewer service in Cameron Park, you can expect: - Licensed, background-checked plumbers with hands-on experience - Service available 7 days a week with no extra weekend charge - Upfront, job-based pricing before work begins - Camera inspection before recommending major sewer repairs - Trenchless options to protect landscaping and hardscaping - Emergency service for urgent drain and sewer situations - Annual inspections available through the Bonney Beyond membership [Bonney Beyond](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/ "Bonney Beyond") members receive annual plumbing, electrical, heating, and AC inspections, plus priority scheduling, extended warranties, and 15% savings on all services, which is a practical way to stay ahead of issues before they become emergencies. ## Schedule Drain & Sewer Service in Cameron Park Whether you’re dealing with a backed-up drain, a recurring sewer problem, or just want to understand the condition of your home’s underground plumbing, Bonney is ready to help. We serve Cameron Park and the surrounding [El Dorado County area](https://www.bonney.com/service-area/placerville-cameron-park-shingle-springs/) with the experience and equipment to handle any drain or sewer issue, from a simple clog to a full sewer line replacement. **Request Service** **Call 800.444.0551** ## Drain & Sewer FAQs **What’s causing my drains to back up repeatedly in Cameron Park?** Recurring drain backups usually point to root intrusion, buildup deep in the line, an offset pipe joint, or a partially collapsed section can all cause drains to back up repeatedly even after clearing. A sewer camera inspection is the most reliable way to identify the root cause and avoid repeated service calls. **How do I know if I need drain cleaning or hydro jetting?** Drain cleaning with a cable or snake is appropriate for most standard clogs and blockages. Hydro jetting makes more sense for lines with significant grease or mineral buildup, recurring slow drains that keep coming back, or as a maintenance measure for homes with mature trees near sewer lines. Bonney’s technicians will assess which approach is right for your situation before starting. **Does Bonney offer trenchless sewer repair in Cameron Park?** Yes. Depending on the location, condition, and layout of your sewer line, Bonney may be able to repair or replace it using trenchless methods that require minimal excavation. This can preserve landscaping, driveways, and hardscaping that would otherwise need to be removed and restored with traditional digging. We’ll let you know whether your situation qualifies after a camera inspection. **Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a home in Cameron Park?** Yes, especially for homes that are 20 years old or more. Original sewer lines in many Cameron Park homes are approaching or past the end of their expected lifespan. A camera inspection before closing gives you a clear picture of the line’s condition, the ability to negotiate repairs into the sale, and peace of mind that you won’t face a major sewer expense shortly after moving in. **Is emergency drain service available in Cameron Park?** Yes. Bonney provides drain and sewer service 7 days a week and offers emergency support for urgent situations like sewage backups or complete drain failures. Call 800.444.0551 and we’ll get a technician to you as quickly as possible. --- ### [Expert Air Conditioning Services in Cameron Park](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning-services-in-cameron-park/) **Published:** June 3, 2026 **Author:** Sarah **Content:** # Expert Air Conditioning Services in Cameron Park Cameron Park summers are no joke. When temperatures climb into the triple digits and the heat settles into your home, a reliable air conditioning system is a necessity. Bonney’s [air conditioning services](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/ "Air Conditioning") have been keeping Greater Sacramento area homes cool and comfortable since 1976, and we bring that same dependability to every AC job in Cameron Park and throughout El Dorado County. Whether your system has stopped cooling, is running constantly without results, or you’re ready to replace an aging unit before it lets you down, our certified HVAC technicians are available 7 days a week (with no extra charge for weekends) to get your home back to comfortable. ## Air Conditioning Services in Cameron Park ### AC Repair in Cameron Park A malfunctioning air conditioner in the middle of a Cameron Park summer isn’t something you want to put off. Warm air blowing from the vents, the system short-cycling on and off, ice forming on the unit, or a sudden spike in your energy bill are all signs that something isn’t right. Bonney’s HVAC technicians diagnose AC problems accurately and explain your options before any work begins. We charge by the job (not by the hour), so you know exactly what you’re paying before we start. Our team services all major air conditioning brands and can handle everything from refrigerant issues and failed capacitors to compressor problems and thermostat faults. We offer [air conditioning repair](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) 7 days a week, including emergency service for situations that can’t wait. If your system breaks down on a hot weekend, we’re available. ### AC Installation and Replacement in Cameron Park If your air conditioner is more than 12-15 years old, needs frequent repairs, or simply can’t keep up with the demands of a Cameron Park summer, it may be time to consider a replacement. Today’s systems are significantly more efficient than equipment from even a decade ago, a well-sized, properly installed new unit can lower your energy bills while keeping your home more consistently comfortable. Bonney provides [air conditioning installation](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-installation/) for Cameron Park homeowners, including free estimates on new systems. Our technicians will assess your home’s size, layout, and existing ductwork to recommend a system that’s properly matched to your needs. We install RUUD equipment and offer financing options to make the upgrade accessible for every budget. We’ll also walk you through available rebates and tax credits that may offset the cost of a high-efficiency system. ### AC Tune-Ups and Maintenance in Cameron Park The best time to find out your air conditioner has a problem isn’t when it’s 105 degrees outside. Scheduling an [AC tune-up](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) before the cooling season gives our technicians the chance to clean the system, check refrigerant levels, test electrical components, and identify anything that could turn into a breakdown when your system is working hardest. Regular maintenance also helps your system run more efficiently, which means lower utility bills and less wear on the equipment over time. Most homeowners see real payback from annual tune-ups in the form of fewer repairs and a longer system lifespan. Cameron Park homeowners looking for a more comprehensive approach to home maintenance can join [Bonney Beyond](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/ "Bonney Beyond"). Members receive annual AC, heating, plumbing, and electrical inspections, priority scheduling when you need service, extended warranties on work performed, and 15% savings across all Bonney services. ### Heat Pump Installation and Service in Cameron Park Heat pumps have become an increasingly popular choice for Cameron Park homeowners — and for good reason. A heat pump handles both heating and cooling in a single system, making it a versatile and energy-efficient alternative to separate AC and furnace setups. Modern heat pumps perform well even in the temperature ranges Cameron Park sees throughout the year. Bonney provides [heat pump installation](https://www.bonney.com/heating/heat-pump-install/), [repair](https://www.bonney.com/heating/heat-pump-repair/), and [maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/heating/heat-pump-maintenance/) for Cameron Park homeowners. If you’re weighing a heat pump against a traditional AC replacement, our technicians can walk you through the comparison and help you decide what makes sense for your home and budget. ### Ductless Mini-Split Systems in Cameron Park Not every room in a Cameron Park home is equally easy to cool. Sunrooms, additions, detached offices, and rooms over garages often sit outside the reach of central duct systems, so they receive inadequate airflow no matter how the vents are adjusted. [Ductless mini-split systems](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/ductless-mini-split-systems/) solve this problem by delivering cooling directly to the spaces that need it, without requiring ductwork. Each indoor unit is independently controlled, which means you’re not cooling rooms that don’t need it. Bonney installs and services ductless systems throughout Cameron Park, and our technicians can help you determine whether a single-zone or multi-zone setup is the right fit. ### Indoor Air Quality Solutions Cooling your home is only part of what your HVAC system does. The same system that moves air through your home also circulates dust, allergens, and pollutants, and in a sealed, air-conditioned home, those contaminants can accumulate quickly. Bonney offers a range of [indoor air quality solutions](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) to complement your cooling system, including air filtration upgrades, whole-home air purifiers, and humidity control options. If you or anyone in your household deals with allergies, asthma, or simply wants cleaner air, this is worth discussing when we’re already servicing your system. ## Why Cameron Park Homeowners Choose Bonney Cameron Park is a community where people take care of their homes, and they expect the same from the contractors they invite in. Bonney has been building that trust across the Greater Sacramento region since 1976, and our approach has stayed consistent: show up when we say we will, do the work right, and leave the home better than we found it.

We serve Cameron Park and the surrounding [El Dorado County area](https://www.bonney.com/service-area/placerville-cameron-park-shingle-springs/) with the expertise and reliability your home deserves. **Request Service** **Call 800.444.0551** ### Air Conditioning FAQs **How do I know if my AC needs repair or replacement in Cameron Park?** If your system is under 10-12 years old and the repair cost is less than half the cost of a new unit, repair is usually the better value. If it’s older, needs frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant (no longer manufactured), or simply can’t keep up with summer temperatures, replacement is worth considering. Bonney’s technicians will give you an honest assessment and help you weigh the options. **What’s included in a Bonney AC tune-up?** Our AC tune-up includes a thorough inspection of your system’s components, cleaning of the condenser and evaporator coils, refrigerant level check, thermostat calibration, inspection of electrical connections and capacitors, and an overall performance assessment. We’ll flag anything that looks like it could become a problem before the peak of summer. **How long does AC installation take in Cameron Park?** Most standard central AC installations are completed in a single day. More complex jobs involving ductwork modifications or system upgrades may take longer. Bonney will give you a clear timeline before work begins so you can plan accordingly. **Do you offer emergency AC repair in Cameron Park?** Yes. Bonney provides air conditioning service 7 days a week, and we offer emergency support when your system goes down unexpectedly. If your AC fails during a heat wave, call 800.444.0551 and we’ll get a technician to you as quickly as possible. **Is a heat pump a good choice for Cameron Park’s climate?** Heat pumps work well in Cameron Park’s climate, which sees hot summers and mild-to-cool winters. They’re particularly efficient in the shoulder seasons when heating and cooling loads are moderate. For homeowners looking to consolidate their heating and cooling into a single system (or take advantage of energy efficiency incentives), a heat pump is worth a serious look. Bonney can help you compare options based on your home’s specific needs. --- ### [Expert Heating Services in Placerville](https://www.bonney.com/expert-heating-services-in-placerville/) **Published:** June 3, 2026 **Author:** Sarah **Content:** # Expert Heating Services in Placerville Looking for [heating service in Placerville](https://www.bonney.com/heating/)?

When you call Bonney for your ceiling light installation, you’ve got a range of options, including: - **Recessed lights:** A recessed light is installed so the edge is flush with the ceiling. They’re versatile picks, often providing general lighting and accent or task lighting. Our recessed lighting installations are ideal for kitchens, living rooms, and bathrooms. - **Pendant lights:** These lights typically have a single bulb that hangs from the ceiling. We commonly perform pendant light installations over kitchen islands, sinks, and dining tables to provide focused lighting. - **Chandeliers:** Like pendant lights, chandeliers hang from the ceiling. However, they usually have several bulbs for more general ambient light. Customers typically request our chandelier installation service in rooms where they want a statement piece, such as dining rooms and foyers. - **Wall sconces:** Boost your home lighting’s aesthetic and functionality with a wall sconce installation. Wall sconces are a favorite choice next to beds for nighttime reading. They’re also excellent for providing ambient lighting in hallways. - **Track lighting:** If you need adjustable illumination in a room, check out our track lighting installations. These feature lighting mounted on a track that allows you to reposition the bulbs. Our track lights are ideal for art displays but also work well in living rooms, hallways, and home offices. Should I Use Energy-Efficient Lighting? Yes, you should use energy-efficient lighting to save you money on your monthly power bill and reduce overall environmental impact. Energy-efficient bulbs use less electricity to maintain the same level of brightness in your home and typically waste less electricity generating heat. The most energy-efficient lighting uses [LED bulbs](https://www.bonney.com/blog/make-the-switch-to-led-lighting/). These bulbs use 90% less energy than an incandescent bulb to produce the same amount of light. Plus, LED bulbs typically last 15 times longer than incandescent options. Switching to energy-efficient lighting can result in significant savings in the long run, as reduced energy bills and buying significantly fewer lightbulbs are the main benefits.

Several factors can affect your overall furnace repair cost. When we generate quotes for your furnace repair, we consider: - **Furnace type/age.** Your furnace type affects how much it costs to repair. Older units often require specialized parts that can be harder to source. Likewise, it’s often costlier to repair a gas furnace due to the increased complexity of the system. - **Severity of the issue.** More severe issues, like a faulty heat exchanger, tend to increase the cost of your overall repair. Simpler repairs, like filter replacements or flame sensor replacements, often cost much less. - **Complexity of the job.** Sometimes, jobs just require more labor and effort to complete. This is more common if your furnace is somewhere hard to reach or if extensive repairs are needed. In this case, costs can increase. Investing in regular maintenance is the best way to reduce the severity of your breakdown or prevent one from occurring altogether. Routine inspections, tune-ups, and repairs can prevent major issues from arising down the line. ## Affordable Finance for Furnace Repair Having a reliable furnace is essential to your home’s comfort when nighttime temperatures start to drop in Sacramento.

If your AC isn’t working properly, you may be wondering whether a [repair](/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-repair/) will do the trick or if it’s time for a full replacement. Here’s what to consider: **A repair might be enough if:** - Your AC is less than 15 years old and has been well-maintained. - The issue is minor, like a clogged filter or faulty capacitor. - Repair costs are low, and the system has no history of major breakdowns. **It may be time for a replacement if:** - Your AC is around the 12-year mark or older—about the time most systems really struggle to maintain comfort and efficiency levels. - Repairs are becoming more frequent or costly. - Your energy bills are rising despite no change in usage. - Your home has hot and cold spots, or the system struggles in peak summer heat. Newer systems are more energy-efficient, can lower your utility bills, and come with long-term warranties for added peace of mind. **Bonney’s expert technicians will inspect your system and give you an honest recommendation on the best path forward.** Does Bonney handle the permitting process for a new AC installation in Sacramento? Yes! Bonney takes care of all the necessary permits for your AC installation so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork. **Why do you need a permit?** - It ensures your AC system meets California building and energy codes. - It verifies that your installation is safe and up to local standards. - It protects you from potential fines or issues when selling your home. Once we submit the permit application to the appropriate city or county office, a local inspector will review the installation to confirm it meets state and local requirements. After the inspection is approved, you’ll receive official documentation proving that your system is properly installed and compliant. Without a permit, you could face delays, fines, or problems with future home sales. Bonney makes the process seamless and easy. Relax, we’ve got you! What types of AC systems does Bonney install, and which one is best for my home? Bonney installs central air conditioners, heat pumps, and ductless mini-split systems, each with its own advantages. **Central AC systems** are best for homes with existing ductwork and provide whole-home cooling with even temperature distribution. These are far and away the most common cooling systems in Sacramento, although heat pumps are also very popular. **Heat pumps** offer both heating and cooling in one unit, making them a great option for homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency year-round. These systems are the kings of efficiency and energy savings, especially if you take the electrical route. If your home doesn’t have ductwork, a ductless mini-split allows you to cool specific areas without the need for extensive renovations. This is done with a number of air handlers that are placed in various rooms throughout the home. How do I prepare my home for AC installation day? You don’t have to lift a finger—Bonney handles everything. Our team will protect your home with drop cloths, carefully remove the old system, and install your new AC with as little disruption as possible. If there are any minor steps you need to take beforehand (like clearing space around the outdoor unit), we’ll let you know in advance. Otherwise, just sit back and relax while we take care of everything. What kind of warranty or maintenance support does Bonney provide after installation? Bonney is here to protect your investment with a 10-year warranty on both parts and labor warranties on most systems. And to keep your system in great shape, we also offer ongoing maintenance through our [Bonney Beyond](/bonney-beyond) membership plan. With priority service, seasonal tune-ups, and exclusive discounts, it’s one of the best maintenance plans you’ll find anywhere in Sacramento! ## Get a Free In-Home AC Estimate from Bonney – No Strings Attached!

[Schedule Service](/) ## Common Areas Where Plumbing Leaks Occur Plumbing leaks can develop in many areas of your home’s plumbing system, and they often occur in places that are difficult to see. Hidden leaks may form inside walls, beneath floors, or along underground pipes, which is why they can go unnoticed for long periods of time. Over time, even a small water leak can lead to structural damage, mold growth, and higher utility bills if it isn’t detected and repaired. Professional leak detection helps identify the source of these hidden plumbing problems so they can be repaired before the damage spreads. Some of the most common places where plumbing leaks occur include: - **Water supply lines hidden behind walls** - **Pipes running beneath flooring** - **Outdoor water lines and irrigation systems** - **Appliance connections such as water heaters, refrigerators, and dishwashers** - **Bathroom and kitchen plumbing fixtures** - **Underground plumbing lines** Because many of these plumbing components are hidden from view, homeowners may notice warning signs such as higher water bills, damp spots, or reduced water pressure, before they ever see the actual leak. In some situations, leaks develop beneath the concrete foundation of your home. These are known as [slab leaks](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/slab-leak-detection-repair/ "Slab Leak Repair in Sacramento"), and they typically require specialized diagnostic methods and repair techniques to address safely without damaging your home’s structure. Identifying these leaks early is essential to preventing long-term foundation damage and costly repairs. ## Why Professional Leak Detection Matters Locating the exact source of a hidden leak can be challenging without the right experience. Attempting to guess where a leak is coming from may result in unnecessary damage to walls, floors, or landscaping. A professional inspection allows plumbers to accurately identify the source of the problem and recommend the most effective repair options. Addressing leaks early helps prevent further damage and can save homeowners from more extensive repairs later. At Bonney, our team focuses on clear communication, careful diagnosis, and practical solutions that restore your plumbing system and protect your home. ## Leak Detection FAQs How do I know if I have a hidden plumbing leak in my home? Some of the most common warning signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, damp spots on walls or floors, musty odors, reduced water pressure, or the sound of running water when no fixtures are on. Because many leaks are hidden behind walls, under floors, or underground, professional leak detection is often the best way to confirm the source of the problem. What happens during a leak detection diagnostic appointment? During a leak detection appointment, a Bonney plumber will inspect your plumbing system, review the symptoms you’ve noticed, and work to identify the source of the leak. Once the issue is diagnosed, we’ll explain what’s happening and walk you through the recommended repair options. Can hidden plumbing leaks be repaired in one visit? In some cases, yes. If the source of the leak is easy to access and the repair is straightforward, it may be possible to complete the repair during the same visit. More complex leaks, including those located underground or beneath your home’s foundation, may require additional work depending on the location and severity of the problem. How much does leak detection cost, and what affects the price? The cost of leak detection can vary depending on the location of the leak, how difficult it is to access, and whether additional repair work is needed. Bonney offers in-home plumbing diagnostics for $99, and if you choose to complete your repair with us, that diagnostic fee is waived. What happens if a plumbing leak is left untreated? A hidden leak can lead to water damage, mold growth, higher utility bills, and damage to flooring, walls, or even your home’s foundation over time. Addressing a leak early helps prevent more extensive repairs and protects the overall condition of your home. --- ## Looking for Financing Assistance? We’ve Got You Covered!

If your water line needs repairs, you might notice: - Low water pressure throughout the whole home. - Soggy areas in your lawn where water is leaking underground, or areas in your lawn where the grass is particularly green and lush. - Higher water bills. - Discolored, cloudy, or rusty water from every faucet and fixture. - Hearing water sounds even when not running any taps. - Unexplained moisture in the basement. - Cracks or other signs of foundation damage. If you’re unsure, you can check your water meter to see if it still logs water usage when you don’t have any taps on. Record the number, then wait a few hours to see if it still goes up without using water. If it does, you probably have a leak. Is a Burst Water Line an Emergency? Yes, a burst water line is an emergency. If you don’t take quick action to turn off the water and repair the issue, you could face significant property damage. In some cases, it can even be hazardous to your health since bacteria can infiltrate the burst water line and contaminate your water. If you suspect a burst water line, shut off your water line and call a plumber right away. Does a Burst Water Line Mean Excavation Is Required? No, not always. We can consider some trenchless pipe repair methods. Pipe lining and pipe bursting allow us to repair water lines without excavation. Pipe lining entails applying a resin-coated liner inside your pipe and inflating it to create a new, watertight layer. Pipe bursting involves installing a brand-new pipe through the existing one with specialized equipment. As the new pipe is installed in the old one’s place, the old one breaks apart. In some cases, we have no choice but to excavate. Your Bonney plumber can discuss your options and associated costs after assessing your situation. How Long Will it Take to Fix a Burst Water Line? It depends on the type of damage and how accessible your water line is. With that said, we can often complete water line repairs the same day we arrive. When Should I Replace the Water Main Instead of Repairing It? Generally, you should replace your water main when the cost of repairs is over 50% of the replacement cost. This is typically the case if you have older pipes that may not be as easy to repair. For example, we may recommend a replacement for galvanized or lead pipes. The plumbers at Bonney can help you make the final decision based on factors such as the age and condition of your pipes. ## Contact us now for hassle-free water main and water line repair services.

Your toilet may need repairs if you notice: - It never stops running. - Its flush has weakened. - The tank leaks. - It doesn’t flush when you push down the handle. A skilled plumber can often resolve these issues by removing mineral buildup, replacing parts, or tightening connections. However, it may be time for a replacement if your toilet: - Has cracks in the porcelain. - Clogs frequently. - Wobbles at the base, even after tightening the bolts. - Requires frequent repairs. - Is older than 10 years and has issues requiring repairs. If you’re not sure whether your toilet needs repairs or a replacement, give us a call. We’ll dispatch a trained expert to inspect your system, diagnose the issues, and give you professional advice. What Are the Benefits of Investing in a High-Efficiency Toilet? Replacing your old or broken toilet with a high-efficiency model can significantly reduce water usage. Most high-efficiency toilets, which come with a [WaterSense label](https://www.epa.gov/watersense/residential-toilets), use 20% less water than current standards. That’s approximately 13,000 gallons of water not flushed down your toilet each year. Why Is My Toilet Constantly Running? A toilet that constantly runs often has issues with the flapper valve or float. When the flapper valve is faulty or misaligned, water leaks from the tank. Your float may also be set too high, which causes water to rise above the overflow tube, where it drains into the bowl. ## Call our Bonney Experts for Toilet Repair, Replacement & Installation Services [Request an Estimate](/) [ Call 916.299.0434](tel:9162990434) --- ### [Slab Leak Repair in Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/slab-leak-detection-repair/) **Published:** August 19, 2024 **Author:** Brian Nelson **Content:** Slab Leak Repair in Sacramento # Same-Day Leak Repairs, 7 Days a Week!

[Schedule Service](/) ## How to tell if you have a slab leak A slab leak occurs when the pipes beneath the concrete foundation of your home develop a leak. Detecting a slab leak early can save you from significant damage and costly repairs. **Here are some common signs that might indicate you have a slab leak on your property:** ### 1. Unexplained Increase in Water Bills One of the first signs of a slab leak is a sudden and unexplained spike in your water bills. If you notice your water usage hasn’t changed, but your bill has increased significantly, it could be due to a hidden leak under your slab. ### 2. Damp or Wet Spots on Floors Water leaking from pipes beneath your slab can seep upwards, causing damp or wet spots on your flooring. If you notice any unexplained moisture or puddles, especially on ground floors or basements, it might be a sign of a slab leak. ### 3. Warm Spots on the Floor If you have a hot water line leaking under your slab, you might feel warm spots on your floor. These warm areas can be a clear indicator of a slab leak, especially if the rest of your floor is cool. ### 4. Low Water Pressure A slab leak can cause a drop in your home’s water pressure. If you notice that your water pressure has decreased and there’s no apparent reason for it, a leak under the slab could be the culprit. ## Leak Detection Services in Sacramento Many slab leaks begin as small, hidden plumbing leaks that develop beneath the foundation of your home. Because these leaks occur below concrete, they often require specialized equipment to locate accurately. Bonney’s plumbers use professional diagnostic tools to pinpoint the location of underground leaks before beginning repairs. If you’re noticing signs of a hidden plumbing issue but aren’t sure where the leak is coming from, our[ leak detection services](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/leak-detection/) can help identify the source quickly and accurately. ## Slab Leak Repair FAQs How do I know if I have a slab leak under my home? Slab leaks often reveal themselves through subtle yet telling signs: an unexpected spike in your water bill, damp or warm spots on the floors, unexpectedly low water pressure, or even bubbling paint. If you experience any of these issues, Bonney’s licensed plumbers can perform a precise leak detection service, helping identify hidden problems before they escalate. What happens during a slab leak diagnostic appointment? When you request service, Bonney sends a licensed plumber equipped with advanced tools like electronic leak detectors, infrared imaging, and acoustic listening devices. For a $99 diagnostic fee (which is waived if you choose us for repairs), the plumber will locate the leak, explain your options, and recommend the most effective and minimally disruptive repair method. Can slab leaks be repaired in just one visit? Yes, most slab leaks can be repaired the same day. Bonney’s technicians come prepared for detection and repair work, enabling them to address the issue in a single visit. Whether it’s a targeted spot repair or rerouting the pipe, the goal is to resolve the problem quickly and efficiently. How much does slab leak repair usually cost, and what affects the price? In the Sacramento area, Bonney’s slab leak repair costs typically range from $1,500 for accessible fixes to around $4,500 on average, and up to $9,000 for more complex cases. The price varies based on factors such as leak location, necessary detection methods, repair complexity, and any additional plumbing work required. What are the long-term risks of ignoring a slab leak? Ignoring a slab leak can lead to severe structural and health consequences. Over time, the leaking water can erode the foundation, weaken flooring materials, and promote mold growth beneath the surface — costly and hazardous issues to fix. Even minor leaks can cause unseen damage that worsens with time, so addressing them early is crucial.

Knowing what each element costs ahead of time and preparing for potential additional costs (increased labor, more materials, etc.) will help you compare bids and choose one that’s right for you. ### Coupons for Bigger Cost Savings Ask your service partner about any coupons or special offers that could help defray your costs. Bonney regularly offers seasonal deals and other savings opportunities to new and current customers. There’s also the BonneyBeyond program, a full-service maintenance club that gives members perks, such as priority scheduling, money off all services, and extended warranties. ### Flexible Financing Not all sewer repair companies offer financing, but those that do empower customers to tackle issues quickly without breaking the bank. Bonney has partnered with leading finance providers to make sewer services more accessible. If approved, you can spread out the cost of repairs and replacements over months or even years, depending on the terms of your contract. This can be a major win in the face of an expensive sewer emergency. # Avoid Unpleasant Surprises with BonneyBeyond It’s simple: BonneyBeyond is a homeowner’s secret weapon against the unexpected costs of home ownership.

[Trenchless sewer repair](https://www.bonney.com/blog/trenchless-sewer-repair-a-modern-solution-for-sewer-line-problems/) is like minimally invasive surgery — it’s less disruptive but requires advanced training and special tools. Open trench sewer repairs are more affordable up front because the team digs up the street for an open access repair. Keep in mind that you may have to pay to restore the landscape or repave areas afterward. Can I repair a sewer line myself? No untrained, unlicensed person should ever attempt a DIY sewer line repair. Proper repairs require specialist equipment, accurate diagnostics, and years of experience. Always call a professional for advice you can trust and safe repairs. How long do sewer line repairs last? A well-executed sewer line repair overseen by a licensed technician can last 50 to 100 years. However, the exact lifespan of your sewer lines depends on a variety of factors. The materials used, the severity of the initial problem, and whether you schedule regular maintenance visits and inspections can all impact longevity. Addressing issues promptly can reduce the cost of repairs and help your system live on. How do I know if my sewer line needs repairing or replacing? Your sewer line may need attention if you spot signs of an underlying issue, such as slow drains, water or sewage buildup in your yard, gurgling noises coming from your pipes, or a foul odor in your home or yard. Mold or mildew growth and increased pest presence could indicate a sewage leak or backup. Minor issues, such as small clogs or surface cracks, may be easy to repair. More serious problems, such as severe pipe breaks or widespread corrosion, may require a complete replacement. Can I get financing for sewer line repairs and replacements? Bonney offers financing options through third-party lending partners. We’ve selected partners that align with our commitment to quality service and honesty. The exact terms of your financing deal depend on your personal data and the lender’s terms. Please read through your contract thoroughly before signing. ## Find Out What’s Wrong with Your Sewer Line with Bonney.

Permit costs vary depending on the project size and scope, but Bonney factors these expenses into your total estimate, so there are no surprises. - **Urgency of the repair.** Emergency after-hours or weekend repairs often incur additional fees due to the immediacy of response times.

If you have an older ductless mini-split system, finding compatible replacement parts may also be more difficult. - **Age of the system.** Older systems are more likely to have damage caused by long-term wear and tear. You may have to replace multiple parts at once, increasing the total repair cost. In some cases, the manufacturer no longer produces replacement parts, requiring a different solution. - **Accessibility.** If system components are difficult to reach, it can take more time to complete a repair job. For example, if indoor units are mounted high on the walls, technicians may have to spend more time setting up ladders or work platforms. ## Ductless mini-split repair estimates and second opinions are always FREE at Bonney Bonney will dispatch a licensed technician to your home to assess your family’s comfort needs and provide an estimate for the project.

For example, a homeowner with a mortgage balance of $250,000 and an appraised value of $350,000 has $100,000 in equity available. You must also meet these requirements to qualify for PACE: - Current on property taxes - No recent foreclosure proceedings - Mortgage in good standing ### Bonney Coupons and Deals At Bonney, we care about your comfort.

A ductless mini-split system usually [lasts for 10 to 15 years](https://basc.pnnl.gov/resource-guides/traditional-split-heat-pumps). However, the exact lifespan depends on your maintenance and operating habits. Mini-split systems have filters, coils, and moving parts, all of which require routine maintenance. You may be able to extend the lifespan of your system if you schedule regular tune-ups. Using a mini-split system for heating and cooling instead of just one function can accelerate wear and tear. System sizing is also an important consideration, as oversized systems are likely to fail earlier than expected. What are common issues with ductless mini-split systems? Clogged filters are one of the most common issues with ductless mini-split systems. When a filter is clogged with dust and debris, the system has to work harder. This reduces efficiency and increases wear and tear. Water leaks, strange noises, and inconsistent heating or cooling are also common. Bonney’s technicians can get to the bottom of the problem quickly. What are the disadvantages of ductless mini-split systems? The disadvantages of ductless mini-split systems include higher installation costs, design concerns, and increased maintenance requirements. Each zone or room needs its own air handler, so you may have to invest more in mini-split equipment than you would with central air conditioning. Air handlers must be mounted on walls or ceilings, which can affect your home’s appearance. Each unit also takes up space that could be used for artwork, light fixtures, and other decorative items. Because mini-splits provide both heating and cooling functions, you have to clean the filters more often. It also costs more to have someone maintain each indoor air handler. Is it more expensive to run a ductless mini-split system? No, it’s usually less expensive to run a ductless mini-split system. With duct-based systems, you have to consider duct loss, which is a reduction in air pressure or leakage of cooled air. Duct loss reduces efficiency and drives up energy costs. Ductless mini-splits have no ductwork, so there’s no need to worry about duct loss. These systems also transfer heat instead of generating it, making them more energy-efficient than other types of HVAC equipment. Should I repair or replace my ductless mini-split? It depends on the type of problem you’re having. In many cases, we can make cost-effective repairs that keep your system running efficiently. If the cost of the repair is close to the cost of a replacement, however, we may recommend that you replace your ductless mini-split system. ## AC Repair Problems? Bonney’s Here.

The cost for trenchless sewer line repairs varies so widely because several factors affect how complex the job is and how much work is required. When we quote your trenchless sewer line service, we consider: - **The kind and severity of the damage:** The type and severity of the damage affect the best repair method, which in turn affects pricing. Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining often works best for minor to moderate leaks and root intrusions. Trenchless replacements work well for more severe damage, but they tend to be costlier than CIPP options. - **Parts needed:** Your repair cost includes the cost of all necessary materials. The more parts and materials you need, the higher the costs tend to be. - **The age of the system:** Older systems often require more extensive work, which translates to a higher final cost. These costs offset the labor that goes into the repairs. - **Accessibility:** The more accessible your sewer line is, the less labor is necessary to complete the repair. If your team needs to drill through concrete to make an access point, for example, the costs increase compared to if they just needed to dig a small hole in your lawn. ## Trenchless sewer line repair/replacement estimates and second opinions are always FREE at Bonney Bonney will dispatch a licensed technician to your home to assess your family’s comfort needs and provide an estimate for the project, free of charge.

Plumbers perform trenchless repairs by digging one or two access points to get to the damaged part of your sewer line instead of digging it up. There are various techniques your plumber may recommend based on the extent of the damage. One common trenchless repair works by inserting a resin-soaked liner (CIPP – Cast-In-Place Pipe) into your existing pipes. Your plumber then inflates the lining and cures it in place. It leaves a thin, durable coating inside your pipe, essentially creating a new pipe without ever digging up the old one. Pipe bursting is a strong option for pipes with some structural damage. This process involves pulling a cone connected to new piping through your old line. As the cone moves through the old pipes, it breaks them apart while pulling the new pipe into place at the same time. Brush-coating is unlike CIPP where the repair is non-structural. This epoxy is used for sealing small fractures, restoring integrity, and eliminating rough and course surfaces inside of the existing pipe. All of these options allow homeowners to invest in integrity-restoring repairs without the need to dig up their lawn, road, or driveway. Is Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Faster? Yes, trenchless sewer line repairs are much faster than a method requiring excavation. In most cases, trenchless repairs only take a single day. Plumbers performing a trenchless repair only have to dig enough for an access point rather than digging up the entire pipe. Traditional repairs require excavation, which takes days or weeks on its own. Plus, after the repair, homeowners still have to account for site restoration, which takes additional time. Is Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Suitable for Any Damage? No. When pipes have completely collapsed or sag severely, trenchless methods don’t work. Rather, trenchless options are best for minor cracks and leaks or damage caused by root intrusion. The pipe must be mostly intact to be repaired with a trenchless option. What Are the Disadvantages of Trenchless Sewer Line Repair? The biggest disadvantage to trenchless sewer line repairs is that it doesn’t work in all cases. If your line is damaged too severely, you can’t typically have a trenchless repair. Trenchless sewer line repair can also be costly upfront compared to traditional excavation methods. However, once you factor in the savings from not having to repair your landscaping, the price differential narrows. Does Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Last? Yes, trenchless sewer line repairs last a long time. This provides a durable solution to sewer line damage, often lasting between 50 and 100 years. Liners often last around 50 years since they use resin, which is resistant to corrosion. Pipe bursting usually lasts even longer since it installs a brand-new pipe. ## Call Bonney for Expert Trenchless Sewer Line Repairs and Replacements [Request an Estimate](/) [ Call 916.299.0434](tel:9162990434) --- ### [Water Softener & Conditioner Installation in Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-softeners/) **Published:** March 10, 2026 **Author:** Rocket PM **Content:** # Sacramento Water Softener & Conditioner Installation Hard water can make everyday life feel harder than it needs to when your soap doesn’t lather, you notice stubborn mineral spots on fixtures, or your skin feels dry after showering.

Some homeowners prefer traditional salt-based water softeners, while others lean toward salt-free conditioning systems. You may also explore whole-home water filtration solutions. - **Home size:** Your home’s size and water usage also matter. A larger household often needs a higher-capacity system to deliver consistent results, which may increase your investment, but it can also ensure you get better long-term performance, making the increased cost worth it in the long run. - **Water concerns and solutions:** While you may think you need a basic softener, your concerns may require specialized water treatment solutions. Our [water testing services](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-testing-services/ "Water Testing Services in Sacramento") can help determine exactly what is in your pipes to recommend the best system for your home. - **Installation complexity:** Not every home has the same plumbing setup, and older plumbing systems, tight access points, or layout challenges can affect the time and labor needed for installation. In some cases, the project may require additional adjustments to ensure your new system runs properly and safely. Bonney’s experienced team handles simple installations and complex setups with confidence, so you always get dependable results when you contact us for service. - **Add-ons for long-term value:** Some systems include optional upgrades that raise the upfront costs but improve daily convenience and performance.

If you notice mineral buildup on faucets, spots on dishes, stiff laundry, dry skin after showering, or soap that doesn’t lather well, you may benefit from a water softener. Hard water often causes these issues, and a whole-home system can help improve comfort and reduce plumbing scale. How does a water softener system work? A water softener removes minerals like calcium and magnesium by using a filtration process that exchanges those minerals before water reaches your taps. This replacement helps reduce scale buildup and improves the way your water feels and performs throughout your entire home. What’s the difference between a water softener and a water conditioner? A water softener removes minerals that cause hard water, while a water conditioner typically changes how minerals behave so they don’t stick to surfaces as easily. Both options can improve water quality, and Bonney can help you choose the best solution for your home. How long does it take to install a water softener system? Bonney completes most water softener installations in a single visit, depending on your home’s plumbing layout and system type. Bonney explains the timeline up front so you know what to expect before we begin installation. How much maintenance do water softeners require? Most water softeners need basic ongoing maintenance like monitoring salt levels (for salt-based systems) and occasional system checks. Bonney can help you stay on track with hassle-free maintenance, so your system continues performing at its best. ## Ready for Softer, Cleaner Water?

Contaminants you can’t see, taste, or smell can quietly corrode your pipes, wear down your water heater, and affect how your family feels each day. Bonney’s professional water testing services give Sacramento-area homeowners a clear, accurate picture of their water quality, so you’re not left guessing about something this important. Whether you’re in Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, or right in the heart of Sacramento, we’ll help you understand exactly what’s in your water (and what to do about it). [Schedule Service](/) ## Why Water Testing Matters in the Greater Sacramento Area Sacramento’s water comes from the American River, the Sacramento River, and groundwater sources, depending on where you live. This mix means water quality can differ significantly from one neighborhood to the next, and it can change over time. Hard water is especially common throughout the region. If you’ve noticed white crusty buildup on your faucets, spotted residue on your dishes, or felt like your soap never quite lathers the way it should, your water hardness levels are likely the culprit. Left unchecked, hard water quietly shortens the lifespan of your water heater, dishwasher, and pipes. And hardness is just one piece of the puzzle. Excess chlorine, pH imbalances, and high total dissolved solids (TDS) are other common issues that affect water taste, appliance longevity, and overall household comfort, making professional water testing services essential for Sacramento homeowners. ## What We Test For: Local Water Quality Checks Testing is the only way to know exactly what is flowing through your pipes. Bonney’s water testing service covers the four most impactful water quality indicators for residential homes: - **Water Hardness**: Measures the concentration of calcium and magnesium in your water. High hardness levels lead to scale buildup on plumbing fixtures and inside pipes, reducing flow rates over time and driving up energy costs for water heaters. Sacramento-area water is frequently on the harder side, making this one of the most important tests for local homeowners. - **pH Level**: The pH scale runs from 0 (highly acidic) to 14 (highly alkaline), with 7 being neutral. Water that’s too acidic can corrode your pipes and fixtures. Meanwhile, water that’s too alkaline can leave deposits and taste unpleasant. The [EPA recommends a pH](https://www.epa.gov/caddis/ph) between 6.5 and 8.5 for drinking water. - **Chlorine**: Municipal water suppliers add chlorine to kill bacteria and pathogens (which is a good thing). But too much residual chlorine in your tap water can affect taste, smell, and even skin and hair health. We measure both total and free chlorine levels to give you a full picture. - **Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)**: TDS is a broad measure of everything dissolved in your water, including minerals, salts, metals, and other compounds. A high TDS reading doesn’t automatically mean your water is unsafe, but it can indicate issues worth investigating. High TDS can also directly affect how your water tastes and how it interacts with your plumbing and appliances. ## Signs You Should Test Your Water Not sure if you need a water test? Here are some common red flags Sacramento homeowners tell us about: - White or yellowish mineral deposits on faucets, showerheads, or the inside of your kettle - Dry, itchy skin or dull hair after showering - A chlorine-like smell or taste from the tap - Cloudy or slightly off-color water - Reduced water pressure over time (which can be caused by scale buildup inside pipes) - Spotty, filmy dishes, even after running through the dishwasher - A new home purchase or recently moved into a neighborhood with older infrastructure - You’ve never tested your water and you’ve lived in your home for several years If any of these sound familiar, a professional water test is the logical first step before investing in any treatment solutions. ## What Happens After a Water Quality Test? Testing is just the starting point. Once we have your results, our technicians can walk you through what the numbers mean and recommend the most effective next steps, whether that’s a water softener, a whole-home filtration system, a reverse osmosis system under the kitchen sink, or something else entirely. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. A household in Citrus Heights with very hard water and high TDS has different needs than a newer home in Natomas that mainly has chlorine concerns. Our goal is to match the right solution to your specific water chemistry and your home’s plumbing setup. Some of the solutions we commonly recommend after testing include: - **[Water softeners](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-softeners/ "Water Softener & Conditioner Installation in Sacramento")** resolve water hardness concerns. These systems protect your appliances and pipes while making your water better for cleaning and bathing. - **Whole-home carbon filtration** resolve elevated chlorine or general taste and odor issues. - **Reverse osmosis (RO) systems** offer optimal kitchen drinking water, and they are recommended when TDS or other contaminants are a concern. - **pH neutralizers** support homes with consistently acidic water that’s slowly damaging pipes. ## Why Choose Bonney for Water Testing in Sacramento?

Yes, Sacramento-area water is generally considered moderately to very hard, though it varies by location. Testing is the only reliable way to know your home’s water hardness level. How often should I test my home's water? For most homeowners, testing once every year or two is a reasonable baseline. However, you should test sooner if: - You notice changes in your water taste, smell, or appearance - There’s been a local water advisory - You’ve recently moved into a new home It is also worth testing after getting any major plumbing work done. For example, if you [repipe your home](https://www.bonney.com/blog/cost-to-repipe-a-house-in-california/), your new pipes may change your water quality results, and testing could help protect this investment. Does Bonney's water test check for lead or bacteria? Our in-home water test kits are designed to quickly assess the four most common residential water quality factors: hardness, pH, chlorine, and TDS. If you have concerns about lead, bacteria, or other contaminants, let us know. We can discuss your options for more comprehensive laboratory testing. What is a good TDS level for drinking water? The [EPA’s standard for TDS in drinking water](https://www.epa.gov/sdwa/drinking-water-regulations-and-contaminants) is 500 mg/L. Water below that level is generally considered acceptable, though most people prefer the taste of water in the 50–150 mg/L range. Very high TDS (above 1,000 mg/L) can affect taste significantly and may warrant a reverse osmosis or filtration system. Will a water softener fix all my water quality problems? A water softener is effective at addressing hardness. It will eliminate scale buildup, protect your appliances, and make your water noticeably silkier (which can be beneficial for bathing and cleaning). However, it doesn’t address chlorine taste, pH issues, or high TDS on its own. That’s why we recommend testing first, so any treatment solution is targeted to your actual water chemistry rather than a best guess. How long does the water test take? The on-site testing process itself is quick, and it is typically completed within the course of a service visit. Our technician will walk you through the results on the spot so you leave the conversation with real answers. You will also have the chance to ask questions and explore your options. My water comes from Sacramento Municipal Utilities, do I still need to test? Municipal water is treated and regularly tested by the utility company, and Sacramento’s water generally meets federal safe drinking water standards. But “safe” and “ideal” aren’t the same thing. Treated water can still be hard, have residual chlorine taste, or pick up issues as it travels through older neighborhood pipes on its way to your tap. Professional testing at home tells you what’s actually coming out of your faucet. --- ### [Heat Pump Installation and Replacement in Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/heating/heat-pump-install/) **Published:** March 13, 2026 **Author:** Brian Nelson **Content:** # Expert Heat Pump Installation and Replacement in Sacramento When Sacramento homeowners call Bonney, they know their heat pump is in expert hands.

Some brands tend to cost more upfront but often have energy efficiency features that can help you save cash on operating costs to offset the initial investment. - **Efficiency ratings and technology features:** Typically, more energy-efficient systems tend to cost more because the technology is more advanced. Other features, like variable speed modes or internet connectivity, can also increase your costs compared to a simpler model. ## Heat pump estimates and second opinions are always FREE at Bonney Bonney will dispatch a licensed technician to your home to assess your family’s comfort needs and provide an estimate for the project, free of charge.

Thanks, Bonney!!” ## Heat Pump Installation and Replacement FAQs How Do I Know If I Need a Heat Pump Replacement or Just a Repair? It depends on the extent of the damage to your heat pump and the age of your system. While most issues with a heat pump can be repaired, it’s not always cost-effective to do so. Older systems, in particular, often require more expensive repairs more frequently. If the cost of repairs exceeds half the cost of a replacement on a system approaching the end of its expected lifespan, it often makes more sense to replace it even if it could be fixed. A trained technician can help you make the final call after a thorough diagnostic evaluation. What’s the Average Life of a Heat Pump in Sacramento’s Climate? On average, heat pumps last between 10 and 15 years in Sacramento. However, you can often extend a heat pump’s lifespan by investing in seasonal maintenance annually before the heating and cooling seasons. This allows techs to correct any minor inefficiencies and reduce unnecessary wear and tear. Do Heat Pumps Work Well in Sacramento Winters? Yes, heat pumps can keep your home warm all winter and are often a preferred choice for energy efficiency. In areas with mild winters, like Sacramento, heat pumps can produce significantly more heat energy than the electrical energy they require during operation. Choosing a heat pump will keep your home warm consistently while also reducing your energy costs. Plus, because these systems provide heating and cooling, they can save you on the costs associated with maintaining a furnace or other heater. Can Bonney Help Me Choose the Best Heat Pump for My Home? Absolutely. Our expert techs are well-versed in evaluating homes to determine the necessary size. From there, they can guide you through the various makes and models. Once they know what your budget and preferences are, they can make recommendations tailored to your unique needs. How Long Does Heat Pump Installation Take? In most cases, a heat pump installation only takes a single day. An uncomplicated installation, especially if it’s a simple replacement that swaps an old heat pump out for a new model, can typically be done in just 4 to 8 hours. However, it can take longer if you’re having a new system installed for the first time or if any modifications to your electrical system or ductwork are necessary. The most accurate way to know how long it’ll take to install a heat pump is to have a professional evaluate your home and provide a timeline as part of their quoting process. ## Upgrade Your Comfort Today With Sacramento’s Trusted Heat Pump Experts — Schedule Today!

Choosing specialty tiles, luxury tubs, and custom-built vanities or countertops increases costs substantially compared to using readily available materials. - **Labor and installation complexity:** More complex projects require more labor, and that means higher installation costs.

When you apply for financing, we help you choose the lender that best suits your project and your credit profile. This helps you secure the most favorable repayment terms that best fit your budget. Keep in mind that approval options vary based on the scope of the project and individual homeowner qualifications, and an application is not a guarantee of financing availability. ### PACE Financing for Home Improvement Projects Some remodeling projects may qualify for Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing. This allows you to roll the cost of approved remodels that emphasize energy efficiency and water conservation into your property tax bills. Repayment often occurs for 15 to 25 years and is secured by a lien on your property. Our team can help you navigate PACE financing if your remodel qualifies.

Timelines may also increase if you choose specialty or custom materials, which take longer to source. For a more accurate estimate, schedule a consultation and quote with Bonney.

Feel free to [check your permit status](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/check-your-permits/) with us at any time during the project. Can I Stay Home During the Remodeling Project? Yes, in most cases, you’re welcome to remain at home during the remodel. Keep in mind that, during the remodel, your bathroom will be off-limits, so if you only have one, it may be best to stay somewhere else. During the renovations, expect loud noise starting early in the day. While we take steps to minimize messes while we work, there may also be dust and paint smells present. If you plan to stay home during the remodel, ensure children and pets are secured and can’t access the worksite. Tools, adhesives, and other equipment can be dangerous. Plan ahead for toilet and shower access if the bathroom being remodeled is the only one in the house. What Features Add the Most Value to a Bathroom Remodel? Updating showers, fixtures, and bathroom storage tends to add the most resale value to your home. Prioritize energy-efficient upgrades, such as LED lighting and WaterSense-labeled toilets and faucets. To further optimize energy efficiency, consider installing a tankless water heater at the same time. As you plan your remodel, focus on comfortable, functional upgrades that meld efficiency with aesthetic preferences and your budget. If you plan to sell your home, consider modernizing and updating hardware and fixtures in a neutral aesthetic. Ensure everything is fully functional. Is Financing Available for Bathroom Remodeling Projects? Yes, financing options are available for qualified customers. Financing your project helps spread the cost out over time. To see if you qualify, speak to our financing team and complete a quick, simple application. Your results are typically returned within minutes. ## Start Your Sacramento Bathroom Transformation Today [Request an Estimate](/) [ Call 916.299.0434](tel:9162990434) --- ### [Ceiling Fan Installation](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ceiling-fan-installation/) **Published:** December 21, 2016 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** # Ceiling Fan Installation Ceiling fans make the air go ‘round.

Because nothing is more annoying than a wobbly ceiling fan. ## Ceiling Fan Installation FAQs Why should I hire a professional to install my ceiling fan?

The professionals at Bonney know that each electric vehicle owner has different needs for their EV Charging Station. There are currently two primary EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) options available: Level 1 EVSE and Level 2 EVSE. ### Level 1 EVSE: Level 1 EVSE (also called “trickle” charging stations) units are slower and designed for more mild EV needs. Many electric vehicles come with a Level 1 EVSE, though you may consider buying a second as a replacement or backup. These stations use a 120 volt (V) AC plug, and they vary in power from 12-20 Amps. Level 1 EVSE are perfect for businesses that want to offer EV charging without breaking the bank. They provide low operational costs and use a “standard” outlet on a dedicated branch circuit. ### Level 2 EVSE: Drivers who invest in a residential EV charging station are often looking for a Level 2 EVSE. These stations use a 240 volt (V) AC plug, and they can range in power from 12 Amps to 80 Amps. Level 2 EVSE stations offer significantly faster and more powerful charging. They can provide a sustainable driving range and complete up to 60 miles per charging hour. They are perfect for drivers looking for an easy way to upgrade their EV driving experience. **Interested in learning more about which charging station is right for you?** Our Bonney experts are ready to walk you through your options: [916-299-0561](tel:9162990561). --- ## We Offer the Following EV Charging Brands: ### Bonney and Tesla ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Tesla-.png) Since the race to zero emissions began, Tesla has been a top brand in electric vehicles.

It was very easy to call and make an appointment. Sid Dip arrived on time and was super professional and quickly surveyed the job. The estimate was moderately priced but reasonable given the outdoor main electrical box and garage were located on opposite sides of the home requiring conduit installation in the crawl space. After approximately 4 hours the work was done and my Tesla car charger had the green light on. I was highly impressed with the professionalism of Sid and the other 2 gentlemen who completed the job. Highest recommendation!!” > > “Bonney was the best! Special thanks to Jonathan D., Luis A., and Daniel K. Best team ever. It was a big job, replacing the panel and installing the EV charger, they were here along with the bad weather and it was exceptional service the entire way. I highly recommend Bonney. Not the cheapest but also not the priciest, I ran multiple bids. The little extra was worth my sanity and peace of mind. The finishing work was exceptional and they left my place cleaner than what they found.” > > “This is the first time we utilized Bonney’s services, and we are impressed with the entire process, from the initial appointment setup to the installation of the EV charger. Cole from Bonney was kind, respectful, communicative, knowledgeable, and transparent. He provided an estimate on the spot, offered to complete the installation the same day, and did not pressure us. He truly wanted to ensure we made an informed decision.” How long does it take to install an EV charger at home? Most home EV charger installations take 2 to 4 hours, depending on the complexity of the job. But other factors may increase that time. For example, if your electrical panel needs to be upgraded, that could take a day to resolve. The same goes for if you have older wiring that needs to be updated to handle the new panel. Before starting, Bonney’s electricians will provide an estimated timeline based on your specific setup and electrical needs. We won’t leave you in the dark about those kinds of things. Haha, get it? Do I need a permit to install an EV charger in Sacramento? Yes, Sacramento requires a permit for Level 2 EV charger installations to ensure compliance with local building codes and electrical safety regulations. **The permitting process involves a few key steps:** - **Permit application –** A permit must be obtained from the local building department before installation begins. This ensures your electrical work meets city requirements. - **Electrical inspection –** After installation, a city inspector will verify that the wiring, connections, and charger placement comply with California Electrical Code (CEC) standards. - **Approval & final sign-off –** Once your charger passes inspection, the permit is officially closed, and your system is cleared for full operation. **Here’s the most important part:** Bonney handles everything for you! We take care of submitting the application, scheduling inspections, and ensuring your installation meets all legal requirements. This way, you don’t have to worry about paperwork or compliance—we make the process hassle-free! Can Bonney upgrade my electrical panel if needed? Absolutely! If your home’s electrical panel doesn’t have enough capacity to support a Level 2 EV charger, Bonney can upgrade it to handle the extra load. **A panel upgrade may be necessary if:** - Your current panel is older and at max capacity. - You have frequent breaker trips or electrical issues. - You want to future-proof your home for additional high-power appliances. What maintenance does an EV charger require? EV chargers are generally low-maintenance, but a few simple steps can keep them running efficiently for years. It’s a good idea to periodically inspect the charging cable and connectors for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice fraying, cracks, or loose connections, addressing them early can prevent bigger issues down the line. Keeping the charger itself clean is also important. Dust, dirt, and moisture can accumulate over time, especially if the unit is installed outdoors. A quick wipe-down with a dry cloth every so often can help maintain performance. Additionally, it’s smart to monitor your charger’s performance and ensure your vehicle is charging at the expected speed. **If you ever experience inconsistent charging or overheating, call Bonney and we will get you the help you need!** Does Bonney offer financing for EV charger installations?

Our licensed plumbers safely install your unit in accordance with local codes, ensuring long-term satisfaction and optimal performance. What are the differences between gas and electric tankless water heaters? Both gas and electric tankless water heaters deliver continuous hot water, but consider the differences to make the best choice.

These units work great for smaller homes and point-of-use applications. How often is maintenance needed for tankless water heaters? Routine maintenance keeps your tankless system running efficiently. It also extends the lifespan of your unit, helps maintain optimal efficiency, and keeps your energy bills low. We recommend: - Annual professional inspections - Descaling to prevent mineral buildup, especially if you have hard water - Cleaning filters and flushing the system as needed Are tankless water heaters eligible for any rebates? Yes. Many Sacramento-area utility companies offer rebates for energy-efficient tankless water heaters, encouraging homeowners to upgrade to more efficient technology.

[Tankless water heaters](https://www.bonney.com/blog/best-water-heater-for-my-home/ "Tankless Water Heaters vs. Traditional Water Heaters: Pros and Cons") also tend to be more expensive than traditional tank water heaters up front, but they use less energy overall while providing virtually unlimited hot water supply. You will also likely pay more for an energy-efficient model, but there are some rebates and tax incentives that can help reduce the overall cost. - **Age of heater:** If you want to repair rather than replace a water heater, the age of the unit also matters. Older units tend to be costlier to repair because they often have more problems, and sourcing their parts can be harder. - **Specific issue:** The biggest factor affecting the cost of your water heater repair is the issue that needs fixing.

Great job, Michael, and pleasure working with you!!” ## Furnace Installation and Replacement FAQs How Do I Know if My Furnace Needs Replacing or Repairing? It depends on a lot of different factors, including furnace age, efficiency, and what’s wrong with your system. We consider the overall cost of repairs and the age of your system when making recommendations. Furnaces approaching the end of their typical lifespan, usually 15 to 20 years, often aren’t worth repairing when significant issues arise, since you probably won’t get much more use out of the system. Plus, older furnaces often have more breakdowns as components fail more frequently. When repair costs exceed 50% of a replacement, a new furnace is often more economical in the long term. If your furnace is newer and breaks down, even serious issues may be worth repairing. Plus, it may still be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, which can reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. Regardless of furnace age, minor issues, like a faulty thermostat or blower motor, can often be repaired, pushing off the need for a total replacement. However, the best way to know whether your furnace needs a repair or replacement is to have it inspected by an experienced technician. They can diagnose any issues, evaluate your system for potential future problems, and make recommendations based on your specific furnace. How Can I Maintain My Furnace? Investing in routine annual tune-ups is the best way to maintain your furnace. This helps prevent breakdowns by cleaning and inspecting components for signs of wear. Beyond that, avoid postponing repairs once you know they’re necessary. A furnace that requires work usually runs less efficiently, putting additional strain and unnecessary wear and tear on your system. This can reduce your system’s lifespan or even result in more catastrophic failures later. We offer our [BonneyBeyond membership](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) for exactly this purpose. Not only do you get an annual furnace inspection, but you also receive discounts on all services and priority scheduling for appointments. We even extend our warranties for our members, so you know you’re getting lasting coverage. Is Financing Available for a New Furnace? If the cost of a new furnace installation is too much for you to pay in one lump sum, we offer [financing](https://www.bonney.com/financing/) options that might help. We partner with several finance providers to break your costs into more affordable monthly payments. Notably, we offer Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) financing options. PACE allows you to incorporate the cost of energy-efficient upgrades into your property tax bills. To learn more about our financing programs and see if you qualify, give us a call. We’ll help you apply for financing that matches your needs and secures the best interest rates. What Happens on Replacement Day? On installation day, we arrive with everything we need to get the job done. We start by preparing the area where your new system will go, including removing the old furnace if it’s still there. Our techs perform any necessary repairs or upgrades to your existing electrical system and ductwork as detailed in your quote. Once the area is clean and all connections are prepared, we expertly install your new furnace. We’re meticulous about every detail so you get the best performance possible. After installing the new furnace, we perform a test run to ensure everything works. If necessary, we’ll make final adjustments and answer questions you might have about your new system. We care about your satisfaction and respect your home. Before we go, we clean up any mess we made so you don’t have to. Why Might My Home Need a More Energy-Efficient Furnace? Your home might benefit from a more energy-efficient furnace if you’ve noticed that your power bills have been higher than usual for no obvious reason. As furnaces age, they lose efficiency, resulting in greater power consumption. Older models also tend to be less energy-efficient in general, so if it’s been longer than 10 years since your furnace was last replaced, it’s likely time to consider an upgrade. According to the [US Department of Energy,](https://www.energy.gov/femp/purchasing-energy-efficient-residential-furnaces) an ENERGY STAR furnace, which must have an AFUE rating of at least 95%, could save over $1,000 in energy costs over its lifespan. Choosing models with a 99% AFUE rating can result in over $1,300 in lifetime savings. ## Need a New Furnace? Contact Bonney!

We specialize in tenant improvement (TI) work: upgrading existing circuits, replacing lighting, adding or modifying outlets, and making sure your electrical systems meet current code requirements. If your space needs new circuits to support updated equipment, a lighting overhaul for energy efficiency, or an inspection before a lease renewal, you have come to the right place. - **Panel Door Drop and Breaker Inspection**: Opening panel doors to closely inspect breakers for signs of wear, damage, or improper installation that could pose a safety risk. - **Thermal Checks on Breakers**: Identifying hot spots or overloaded breakers before they become a fire hazard is a critical step often unique to commercial inspections. - **Receptacle Wiring Verification**: Confirming that all outlets and plugs throughout the space are correctly wired and up to code, including proper GFCI protection where required. - **Occupancy Sensor and Lighting Controls**: Checking that occupancy sensing devices and automatic light shut-offs are functioning properly, keeping you in compliance with Title 24 energy requirements. - **Circuit Load Evaluation**: Assessing whether existing circuits are sized and loaded appropriately for current usage, especially important for spaces that have changed use over time. - **Code Compliance Review**: Identifying any conditions that would fail a city or county electrical inspection, so you can address them proactively rather than during a tenant transition. ### Why Sacramento Businesses Trust Bonney’s Electricians We’ve built our reputation on doing things right for businesses in our community.

We focus on improving or modifying existing electrical systems rather than large ground-up construction projects. **Do you work with property managers or just business owners?** Bonney’s Sacramento-area electricians do both. We regularly work with property managers who need inspections or building-wide electrical maintenance, as well as business owners or tenants who have received owner approval to make improvements to their leased space. **What is Title 24 compliance for commercial lighting?** California’s Title 24 energy code requires commercial spaces to have automatic lighting controls (such as occupancy sensors and scheduled shut-off timers) to reduce energy usage. If your space is being renovated or your tenant improvement includes lighting changes, Bonney can ensure you meet these requirements and avoid failing inspection. **How is a commercial electrical inspection different from a residential one?** Commercial inspections are more detailed. In addition to standard checks, we drop panel doors for a close inspection of breakers, perform heat checks to identify overloaded or failing breakers before they cause problems, verify that all receptacles are correctly wired, and confirm that lighting controls and occupancy sensors are working properly. **Does Bonney offer emergency or after-hours commercial electrical service?** Our commercial electrical services are available during regular business hours. While we aim to respond as quickly as possible to urgent service requests, we do not currently offer after-hours or weekend emergency electrical service for commercial clients. --- ### [Furnace Tune-Ups and Maintenance](https://www.bonney.com/heating/furnace-tune-up/) **Published:** October 1, 2025 **Author:** Brian Nelson **Content:** # Furnace Tune-Ups and Maintenance for Sacramento Homeowners Don’t wait for your furnace to fail to have it professionally inspected.

When generating your furnace tune-up estimate, we consider several factors, including the type of unit being serviced. If you want other systems, such as your AC, inspected at the same time, the cost increases. Your cost may also increase if your furnace hasn’t been serviced in a while. Furnaces that don’t get routine maintenance tend to have more faults discovered. We always consider the bigger picture and recommend repairs when necessary, but we’ll never engage in pushy sales tactics or upselling. If your furnace is located in a difficult-to-access area, it may increase the cost. While our technicians are trained to work on units wherever they are, extra labor to access them can sometimes require a higher charge. ## Affordable Furnace Tune-Ups for Peace of Mind Heater season may be relatively short in Sacramento, but you still rely on your furnace when temperatures start to fall.

It’s an investment that can save you in the long run. A well-maintained furnace is often more energy-efficient than one that hasn’t been serviced in years. It’s also less likely to break down and require expensive repairs. Proper furnace maintenance can extend its lifespan and minimize long-term expenses. ### Tune-Ups That Are Easy to Budget For Budgeting for your furnace maintenance shouldn’t be difficult.

I would welcome him back to my home anytime. He also washed the outside unit, which I don’t think has ever been done.” > > “I wanted to take a moment to recognize the outstanding service provided.

Prices can vary based on several factors, including: - The type of furnace you have and whether it has any advanced features that require extra labor to maintain - Any potential labor costs if issues are discovered during the inspection - The time of year and demand — you can usually get better prices before and after the peak winter months - Whether you utilize a maintenance plan or you’ve scheduled a standalone service - The company you choose and its set rates Give us a call, and we’ll provide you with a free, no-obligation estimate for your furnace maintenance appointment. How Often Should I Book Furnace Maintenance? Most furnaces should receive a maintenance inspection and tune-up at least once per year. This ensures minor issues can be corrected before they worsen, which can improve performance, furnace reliability, and lifespan. Many manufacturers require annual maintenance to keep your warranty in good standing. Why Are Annual Furnace Tune-Ups So Important? As you use your furnace, components experience wear and tear. It’s easy for minor issues, such as clogged filters or worn-out motors, to go overlooked at first. However, those issues can affect system performance, and minor inefficiencies force your furnace to work harder to compensate. During an annual furnace tune-up, a professional inspects the various components. They correct minor issues and identify any potential issues so you can take action. Since your tech can catch problems early, the necessary repairs are often much more affordable than if you wait for a catastrophic failure. Can a Tune-Up Help Prevent Carbon Monoxide Leaks? Furnaces most often leak carbon monoxide through cracked heat exchangers or faulty, cracked, or clogged ventilation systems. They can also create excess carbon monoxide if your furnace isn’t burning fuel efficiently. Furnace tune-ups and maintenance calls typically involve checking the condition of your system’s burner, ventilation, and heat exchanger. While this can help prevent a carbon monoxide leak, it’s essential to have a working detector near your furnace. Why Choose Bonney for Furnace Maintenance and Tune-Ups?

While [costs can vary](https://www.bonney.com/blog/cost-hvac-maintenance-ca/ "The Cost of HVAC Maintenance in California"), it’s important to know what you’re paying for and why. At Bonney, we believe in clear communication, honest recommendations, and service that delivers real value. Here are a few key factors that can influence the cost of heat pump maintenance in Sacramento: - **Number of systems:** How many heat pump systems you have will impact the cost. If you have multiple units, you can expect to pay more. - **System age and maintenance needs:** As heat pumps get older, components like electrical connections, motors, and capacitors can wear down. Older systems also tend to be more sensitive to airflow restrictions and refrigerant performance issues, which can add to the depth of the inspection. Our technicians know what to look for in aging equipment, focusing on preventative maintenance that supports reliability and helps extend system life. - **Overall system condition:** A well-maintained heat pump generally requires less time to service because key components are already operating as intended. Systems that have been neglected may need deeper cleaning, more troubleshooting, and extra performance checks to restore efficiency. At Bonney, we bring your system back to dependable operation and explain concerns clearly, helping you make informed decisions. - **Accessibility and installation location:** If your heat pump components are in an attic, crawl space, or other hard-to-access area, the appointment may take longer due to workspace limitations and safety precautions. In tight spaces, technicians often need additional setup time to reach the unit and complete a proper inspection without cutting corners. Our team has experience with challenging installations and always takes a thoughtful, careful approach to ensure your system gets the attention it needs. ## Heat pump estimates and second opinions are always FREE at Bonney Bonney will dispatch a licensed technician to your home to assess your family’s comfort needs and provide an estimate for the project, free of charge.

Most homeowners should service their heat pump at least once a year. Annual maintenance helps keep your system efficient, reliable, and ready for heavy seasonal use. If your heat pump runs constantly, is older, or you have pets, you may benefit from more frequent service. A technician can help you determine the best schedule based on your home and system. What’s included in a tune-up? A heat pump tune-up typically includes a full system inspection, cleaning of the outdoor unit, and performance testing. Technicians commonly check electrical components, refrigerant levels, thermostat function, airflow, and overall heating and cooling output. The goal is to keep the system running safely and smoothly by catching small issues early on. Can maintenance help lower energy bills? Yes, routine maintenance can help lower energy bills by keeping your heat pump running more efficiently. When components are dirty, worn, or out of calibration, your system has to work harder to deliver the same comfort. A tune-up supports better airflow, more consistent performance, and fewer energy-wasting issues. Over time, that efficiency can translate into noticeable savings. What happens if I skip my annual heat pump tune-up? If you skip your annual tune-up, your heat pump is more likely to lose efficiency and develop problems as time progresses. Dust buildup, worn parts, and minor performance issues can go unnoticed – until they turn into costly repairs or breakdowns. You may also experience uneven heating or cooling, louder operation, or higher utility bills. Regular maintenance is one of the easiest ways to protect long-term performance. How long does a typical heat pump maintenance appointment take? A typical heat pump maintenance appointment usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes. The exact length depends on the system size, condition, and how accessible the unit is. If the heat pump hasn’t been serviced in a while, the appointment may take longer due to extra cleaning or troubleshooting. A thorough tune-up can confirm the system is operating properly. ## Schedule your heat pump maintenance today [Request an Estimate](/) [ Call 916.299.0434](tel:9162990434) --- ### [Whole-Home Surge Protection in Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/whole-house-surge-protection/) **Published:** March 4, 2026 **Author:** Rocket PM **Content:** # Unparalleled Whole-Home Surge Protection Installations Power surges happen when you least expect them and damage anything that’s plugged into your outlets.

They were knowledgeable and straightforward in explaining the benefits and costs of both projects completed for me and shared helpful suggestions for things to keep on the lookout for and when to get preventative maintenance done. I absolutely loved that as part of my service, I got a year free of Bonney’s preventative maintenance and other great free incentives. Chris went above and beyond in providing me with resources on operating my Halo water system and found the instruction book online (I inherited that equipment when I purchased my home and knew nothing about it). This was extremely helpful. Excellent service, highly professional, honest, and dependable are all words I would use to describe Bonney and its employees like Dennis and Chris. Thank you! I’ll definitely be reaching out for future services.” ## Whole-Home Surge Protection FAQs What Do Whole-Home Surge Protectors Protect Against? Whole-home surge protectors protect your home from sudden voltage spikes. They connect to your electrical panel and continuously monitor the electricity levels coming into your home. When the protector detects high voltage levels, it diverts the excess electricity into the ground instead of allowing it to pass through your wiring. A number of external factors can cause power surges, including: - Nearby downed power lines - Lightning strikes - Largescale blackouts - Transformer breakdowns - Restored power after an outage Even in your own home, large, high-energy appliances can cause a power surge when they turn off. Investing in a whole-home surge protector safeguards all your electrical devices, saving you money on costly replacements or repairs. Where Should a Whole-Home Surge Protector Be Installed? Your whole-home surge protector should be installed inside or as close as possible to your main breaker box, where electricity enters your home. Close proximity reduces the length of the wire leads to improve effectiveness. What's the Lifespan of a Whole-Home Surge Protector? It varies, but most whole-home surge protectors last between 5 and 10 years before requiring replacement. If you experience frequent power surges, your system may need replacement sooner due to wear and tear, but that’s a sign it did its job well. Installation quality and regular maintenance can also affect the system’s lifespan. Are Whole-Home Surge Protectors Worth the Cost? Absolutely. Without a whole-home surge protector, all your electrical appliances and devices could be damaged or destroyed by a bad surge or a lightning strike. If you’re unsure whether it’s worth it, weigh the cost of replacing every electrical device in your home against the price of the installation. Plus, the peace of mind that comes with knowing your electrical system is protected is priceless. Does an Electrician Have to Install a Whole-Home Surge Protector? Yes, electricians should install whole-home surge protectors for your safety. The installation process requires working with high-voltage electrical components, and it’s easier for someone without formal training to make a mistake. Attempting to install one is dangerous for those without formal electrical experience, and we never recommend it. The city of Sacramento doesn’t recommend it either — a licensed electrician must, by code, install whole-home surge protectors to avoid code noncompliance. ## Schedule Your Whole-Home Surge Protection Installation with Bonney Today!

Larger homes or those with multiple high-demand appliances or EV chargers require panels with a higher amp rating to handle the increased load. These larger panels typically cost more for equipment and take longer to install, increasing prices. - **Complexity of installation:** It’s not always as simple as swapping out an old electrical panel for a new one during a replacement. Some homes require extensive work to prepare for the new panel, especially if they have outdated wiring, and that adds to the final price. If your panel is in a difficult-to-access area, it may also raise costs due to increased labor. - **Local codes and permitting:** All electrical panel replacements must comply with all national and local electrical codes to ensure they’re safe to use. Part of those requirements includes obtaining permits and completing an inspection after installation. At Bonney, we handle the legalities and complexities of code compliance, but the cost is factored into your final bill. ## Electrical Panel estimates and second opinions are always FREE at Bonney Bonney will dispatch a licensed technician to your home to assess your family’s comfort needs and provide an estimate for the project, free of charge.

My panel is very old, and the breakers are special order, but he was able to make sure power was restored to my refrigerator and freezer.

As for price, I’ll say you get what you pay for!” ## Electrical Panel Replacement FAQs How Do I Know I Need an Electrical Panel Replacement? You can usually tell if you need an electrical panel replacement if your existing one is over 25 years old and you notice signs such as: - Frequent breaker trips due to your panel struggling to meet demand - Flickering or dimming lights, especially when turning on high-demand appliances - Burning smells or scorch marks (this is an emergency!) - You have an outdated fuse box without modern safety features - You notice buzzing and humming sounds, which could be signs of loose or faulty components - The panel is warm when you touch it - You notice signs of wear or damage, such as rust or corrosion - Your existing panel doesn’t have room for new additions, such as an HVAC system or EV charger These signs may also arise if you’ve recently upgraded your home or built an addition that puts too much strain on your existing electrical panel. In this case, you may need an electrical panel with enough capacity. Does Bonney Take Care of the Permitting and Inspections for My Panel Replacement? Yes! We handle all necessary permits and schedule inspections. Before we declare the job done, we confirm your new panel complies with all code requirements and is operating effectively. Can You Upgrade an Electrical Panel Without a Whole-Home Rewiring? Yes — but there’s a catch. Your existing wiring must still be in good condition, code-compliant, and compatible with your new panel. If not, you’ll likely need a whole-home rewiring at the time of replacement. Your electrician should evaluate the condition of your whole electrical system before making recommendations and quoting your final price. What Is the Lifespan of an Electrical Panel? Lifespans can vary based on wear and tear, environmental factors such as moisture and temperature, or the frequency of power surges. However, most tend to last between 25 and 40 years. With that said, if you have an older panel and have recently performed some upgrades around your home, it may not be able to keep up. Modern appliances put extra strain on systems, and an older panel can struggle under the load. What Is the 80% Rule? The National Electrical Code recommends that electrical panels should not be subject to continuous loads that exceed 80% of their total rated capacity. In other words, you need an electrical panel with a high enough capacity to avoid risks such as overheating, system damage, or an electrical fire. Work with a trained electrician to determine the right size for your home. ## Schedule Your Electrical Panel Replacement with Bonney Today!

Major issues and stubborn blockages, however, often take longer or require more advanced equipment to clear completely. - **Type of drain:** Different drains can be easier or more difficult to access.

At Bonney, we can address all kinds of drain and sewer issues for residential and commercial clients in Sacramento. Some of our most commonly performed services include main line sewer cleaning, hydro jetting, and sewage ejector pump services. No matter what your issue is, give us a call, and we’ll let you know if we can handle it. How Does Bonney’s $67 Main Line Sewer Program Work? Our $67 Main Line Sewer program lets you cut costs on your sewer line maintenance. For a flat fee, we clear up to 75 feet of your main sewer line and perform a camera inspection to help you get a better idea of your main sewer line’s current condition. Once we’ve finished cleaning your sewer line, we back our work with a 97-day clog-free guarantee. If you start having issues within those 97 days, we’ll resolve the issue for you. What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair, and When Is It Recommended? Sometimes, sewer lines have to be repaired. This can be difficult when they’re buried underneath driveways or landscaped yards. However, we have trenchless sewer repair options that can avoid unnecessary excavation in certain situations. Typically, trenchless sewer repair is recommended when pipes are damaged but don’t require replacement and the surrounding structure remains intact. To meet drain and sewer code, we perform these repairs with advanced equipment that allows us to insert durable liners or pipes inside the existing pipework. What Are the Common Signs That I Need Professional Drain Clearing? It’s usually pretty obvious when you need a professional drain clearing. They’re commonly recommended for recurring or stubborn drainage issues. If you’ve noticed your sinks or tubs seem to struggle to drain or are backing up, there’s probably something blocking the pipes. However, other signs can be less obvious. Look for signs such as gurgling noises when drains run or persistent foul odors. These could imply that there are partial blockages or buildup inside that need to be cleared. Even if you don’t notice any issues, it’s a good idea to get your drains cleaned annually as part of your routine maintenance. Give us a call, and we’ll get a plumber out to evaluate your system and address any issues promptly. How Does Bonney Diagnose the Cause of a Sewer Blockage? We make use of cutting-edge technology to visualize the inside of your sewer line. With state-of-the-art video inspection tools, we can identify and locate the exact location of a blockage or other damage within your sewer line. As our technicians perform the visual inspection, they show you the live footage and explain their findings. This includes explaining whether it’s something simple, like a clog, causing the issue or if they see signs of structural damage, corrosion, or root intrusion that require more intensive repairs. ## Schedule Your Sacramento Drain Clearing Today [Request Service](/) [ Call 916.299.0947](tel:9162990947) --- ### [LED Lighting](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/led-lighting/) **Published:** December 21, 2016 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** # LED Lighting LED is the common abbreviation for light-emitting diode. LED lights are fast becoming the preferred choice of lighting due to their many advantages over conventional incandescent and fluorescent lighting. LED’s are notable for being extremely long lasting. LED bulbs have an average lifespan of 11 years or more. Which means you won’t have to get on a step ladder and change out a light bulb every few months. Many LEDs have a rated life of up to 50,000 hours, which is approximately 50 times longer than a typical incandescent bulb and 8-10 times longer than a CFL bulb. LED lights are very energy efficient. They use just 10 percent of the energy of incandescent lights and less than half the energy of compact fluorescent bulbs. An LED that uses 6 watts of electricity produces the same amount of light as a 14-watt CFL bulb or a 60-watt incandescent bulb. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, electricity used for artificial lighting in the U.S. could be cut by nearly half by 2030 through the adoption of high efficiency LEDs. ## How Much Does It Cost to Install LED Lighting in Sacramento? - Low: $450 - Average: $650 - High: $850 ### What are some factors that affect the cost of an LED lighting conversion in Sacramento? - **Number of Fixtures:** The cost of an LED lighting conversion depends on the number of fixtures you need to convert. An electrician from Bonney can help you determine the number of fixtures and give you an accurate estimate for the project. - **Type of LED Bulbs:** The type of LED bulbs you choose can impact the cost. Standard LED bulbs are less expensive, while specialty bulbs with features like dimming capabilities or smart technology can cost more. Not sure which bulbs are best for you? Don’t worry. Bonney will guide you in selecting the best bulbs for your preferences and budget. - **Permits and Inspections:** Permits and inspections may be required for an LED lighting conversion here in Sacramento. These can add to the cost, but Bonney handles all the details for you to ensure compliance with local codes and a hassle-free conversion. ## Estimates and second opinions are always FREE at Bonney Bonney will dispatch a licensed electrician to your home to assess all existing light fixtures and wiring and provide an estimate for the project, free of charge. Second opinions at Bonney are also free! [Schedule Service](/) ## LED Lighting FAQs What are the benefits of switching to LED lighting in my home or business? LED lighting offers many benefits, including significantly lower energy consumption, longer lifespan, and better light quality compared to traditional incandescent or fluorescent bulbs. Many customers also notice reduced utility bills and fewer bulb replacements over time. Bonney helps homeowners and businesses switch with efficient, professionally installed LED solutions that improve aesthetics and energy efficiency. Can Bonney help design and install custom LED lighting setups? Yes, Bonney’s licensed electricians can help plan, design, and install LED lighting that suits your space. Whether you need bright task lighting in a kitchen, ambient lighting for a living room, or energy-efficient upgrades in an office or retail setting, we take into account layout, usage, and your design preferences to deliver the right brightness and color temperature for each area. Is it difficult to replace existing fixtures with LED lighting? In most cases, upgrading to LED lighting is straightforward. Bonney can retrofit existing fixtures with LED-compatible components or replace outdated fixtures entirely. We ensure all wiring is configured correctly and each light functions as it should, keeping the work up to code and minimally disruptive. Are there smart LED lighting options available? Absolutely. Bonney installs smart LED lighting systems that allow you to control lights via smartphone apps, voice assistants, or automated schedules. These systems can adjust brightness, color, and timing to fit your lifestyle or business needs, adding convenience and security to your property. Will switching to LED lighting really make a noticeable difference? Yes, many homeowners and business owners see immediate improvements in lighting quality and monthly savings on their energy bills. LEDs also produce less heat, which helps keep indoor spaces cooler. Over time, the reduced maintenance and energy costs can add up to significant savings, making LED upgrades a smart investment for nearly any space. ## There are many other additional benefits to LED lighting: - LED lights are durable, which means they don’t break easily. - LED lights generate virtually no heat so they are cool to the touch and can be left on for hours. LED’s reduce the potential for safety risks like burns and fires. - With LEDs you can direct the light where you want it, which means no light is wasted. - LEDs don’t emit UV or infrared and contain no mercury like an incandescent bulb, which makes them more environmentally friendly. - They also light up instantly when you flip the switch! Although LED lighting may have a higher initial cost than incandescent and compact fluorescent light bulbs, the cost is quickly recouped over time in lower electricity costs. Think about it. The same LED technology that lights up the Times Square Ball can also be used to brighten your home. If you have any question about energy efficient LED lighting for your home, give the Bonney electrical technicians a call at **800-444-0551**. ## Commercial Lighting Upgrades in Sacramento Bonney also serves the LED lighting needs of businesses in Sacramento. Lighting in commercial buildings goes beyond basic fixture installation. Many properties use advanced lighting controls to improve energy efficiency and meet California regulations, including Title 24. In addition to LED upgrades, commercial services often include adding occupancy sensing, automatic light shut-off controls, and ensuring lighting systems meet specific performance criteria. Title 24 lighting upgrades are a critical part of commercial electrical service, helping businesses remain compliant while lowering operating costs and supporting sustainability initiatives. --- ### [Electrical](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) **Published:** December 21, 2016 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Excerpt:** Reliable, experienced, certified premier electricians.

[Schedule Service](/) ## **Trenchless Sewer Repair – Modern Solutions for Elk Grove Homes** Traditional sewer repairs meant digging up lawns and driveways. Trenchless sewer line repair is the modern “no dig” solution. We use two main techniques to fix underground pipes without open trenches. For many cracked or leaking lines, our team can insert an epoxy-saturated liner into the old pipe to seal it from the inside. This trenchless pipe lining creates a new, seamless pipe inside the old one, stopping leaks and root intrusion. If a pipe is collapsed or too damaged for lining, we perform a trenchless sewer line replacement using pipe bursting. In pipe bursting, a new HDPE pipe is pulled through the old line, breaking apart the old pipe and replacing it in one step. Both methods require only minimal digging (just small access points) and can often be completed in a single day. ## **Trenchless Sewer Repair FAQs** What is trenchless sewer repair and how does it work? Trenchless sewer repair is a method of fixing underground sewer pipes without digging a large trench. Our team accesses the faulty line through small entry points and uses techniques like pipe lining or pipe bursting to repair or replace the pipe underground. Because it’s “no-dig,” trenchless repair is faster and causes far less property damage than traditional digging. How long does a trenchless sewer replacement last? A trenchless sewer replacement installs a brand-new pipe that can last **50+ years**. Even a trenchless pipe lining (installing a liner within your old pipe) can add decades of life to your system. Do you offer emergency trenchless sewer repair in Elk Grove? **Yes.** Bonney has plumbers on call for emergency sewer line issues in Elk Grove. Our team is available 7 days a week and can expedite trenchless repairs to address urgent problems.

Very grateful to him and Bonney!” > > “Bonney is a reliable quality company. Over the years they’ve replaced an air-conditioner, installed two toilets, replaced outdoor spigots, and a number of other projects. Now I am looking at replacing and adding electrical outlets in the garage and house. Si D. came to our house this week and provided a detailed estimate of all the options we have ranging from simple outlet updates to adding a charging station for our EV and replacing the electrical control panel for the house. Now I need to decide what makes sense for our family! There was no pressure to decide right away and I appreciate the opportunity to think it through.” > > ## Outlet Repair FAQs What’s the difference between a standard outlet and a GFCI outlet? A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlet is designed to protect you from electrical shock, especially in areas where water is present, like bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor spaces. Here’s how it differs from a standard outlet: - **Safety:** GFCIs monitor electrical current and shut off power instantly if a ground fault is detected. - **Reset buttons:** GFCIs have built-in “Test” and “Reset” buttons to easily restore power after a trip. - **Code compliance:** Modern electrical codes often require GFCIs in specific locations for added protection. - **Cost:** GFCI outlets are slightly more expensive but offer significantly greater safety. - **Visual difference:** They look similar but include labeled buttons between the plug slots. Can I install additional outlets in a room that doesn’t have enough? Yes! Bonney’s licensed electricians can safely add outlets where needed. If your home’s wiring or electrical panel is older, that may sometimes justify additional upgrades that go beyond the outlets themselves. Make no mistake however, we will never try to upsell you new wiring or a new panel unless you absolutely need it. How long does it take to repair or install a new outlet? While we can’t speak for other contractors, the pros at Bonney tend to have most outlet repairs or installs completed within an hour. Some factors could increase the time, such as wiring accessibility and the number of outlets you’re looking to service. Will installing new outlets require cutting into my walls? Sometimes, but not always. It depends on how your home’s wiring is set up and where you want the new outlet placed. Our electricians always aim to minimize wall damage and work as cleanly as possible. Here’s what to expect: - **Existing wiring nearby:** If there’s accessible wiring in the wall, minimal cutting is needed. - **No wiring present:** New wiring may require a few small cuts to fish wires through the studs. - **Finished walls vs. open access:** Drywall may need to be patched after installation if access is tight. We’ll always walk you through the plan before starting and let you know if any drywall repair might be needed after the work is complete. Bonney can even recommend trusted contractors for finishing work, if needed. ## Request Your Outlet Repair or Replacement from Bonney Today!

Some common signs signal that it’s time to call a plumber for assistance. If you notice these issues, let us know ASAP so we can inspect, diagnose, and repair your plumbing: - **Leaks:** Leaky pipes often have cracks or corrosion. To prevent water damage to your home, address these promptly. - **Foul smells:** When debris builds up and rots inside your drains, it can create a constant foul odor that doesn’t get better when you run water. You need a drain cleaning to eliminate it. - **Strange sounds:** If your drains gurgle, there may be a blockage somewhere in your drain line, causing air and wastewater to move around and back up. - **Slow drainage:** Fixtures that drain slowly often indicate a partial blockage. This could be due to grease or residue buildup. - **Backups from multiple drains:** If several of your drains start backing up in different rooms, you likely have a blockage in your main sewer line that should be addressed ASAP. - **Sewage in the yard:** If sewage starts seeping into your yard, your main sewer line has likely broken. This is an emergency situation that requires an immediate call to a plumber. What Are Common Problems With Drains and Sewers? Common issues with drains and sewers include: - **Corrosion:** Older pipes can corrode over time, necessitating replacement. This often happens with cast iron and clay pipes. - **Blockages:** Blockages can occur when grease, hair, and other grime build up in a pipe. They can also happen if something that shouldn’t go down the drain, such as baby wipes or feminine hygiene products, gets flushed. - **Tree root intrusion:** Tree roots can find their way into pipes through cracks or faulty joints, which can block up or break apart the pipe. - **Sagging:** Sewer lines can sometimes sink lower than where they were initially installed. When this happens, low spots in the pipe allow waste to accumulate. Over time, this can create blockages or corrosion. - **Separated joints:** Often the result of improper installation, separated joints occur when pipes slip apart. This needs to be repaired promptly to avoid leakage or root intrusion. How Do Technicians Inspect Sewers and Drains? Technicians use drain cameras to inspect sewers and drains. These specialized devices can be snaked through pipe bends from an access point. They allow technicians to pinpoint the exact location within the pipes and determine whether the issue is buildup, clogs, or cracks. What's the Difference Between Household and Commercial Drain and Sewer Services? The biggest difference between household and commercial drain and sewer services is scale. Most residential jobs are much smaller and simpler. Commercial drains and sewers tend to be larger and more complex to facilitate operations. Many commercial drain and sewer systems use larger pipes and may also implement specialized equipment, such as grease traps or backflow prevention devices. Commercial properties also have to comply with stricter codes and regulations. At Bonney, we provide a range of commercial sewer repairs. How Often Do Commercial Drains Need Cleaning? Most commercial drains should be cleaned every 6 to 18 months, depending on the industry. Some commercial properties produce higher volumes of wastewater, including restaurants and hospitals, so it makes sense to clean them more frequently. If your commercial property doesn’t use as much water, you can usually get by with less frequent cleanings. We recommend at least annual drain cleanings to keep buildup at bay.

After they descaled it, they found the pipe to still be in pretty good shape, even though it was old, and the coating didn’t need to be done at this time, thereby saving me quite a bit of money.” > > “It was a pleasure to have Dennis come today. He assessed the issue, proposed a solution, and carried out the process efficiently and quickly. He cleaned up afterward and explained his work to me, including pictures.” > > “We would like to commend Benjamin, who arrived on time at our home.

We feel good about our choice of Bonney for our service and know they have awesome employees like Benjamin.” ## Hydro Jetting FAQs Why is hydro jetting expensive? Hydro jetting often costs more than other drain cleaning services because it utilizes more specialized equipment. Special training is required to ensure technicians don’t damage the pipes. It also usually requires a camera inspection, which increases the overall cost. Is hydro jetting worth it? Yes, hydro jetting is often worth it if you have a severe clog and other solutions haven’t worked. However, if you have a minor clog, it’s probably more worthwhile to try snaking first. What's the difference between hydro jetting and snaking? Both hydro jetting and snaking help clear clogs in pipes. However, the method varies. Hydro jetting utilizes highly pressurized water to break down debris and clogs. It cleans out stubborn blockages that snaking may not be strong enough to eliminate. Snaking pushes clogs throughout the line to restore flow. It’s a less intensive option that is more suitable for minor clogs or fragile pipes. Is hydro jetting better than snaking? Hydro jetting is generally more effective than snaking, but it’s not always the practical option. If you need to clean your pipes or clear away a stubborn blockage, roots, or other debris, hydro jetting typically works well. If you have a minor clog or older, fragile pipes, we may instead recommend snaking. It’s a gentler cleaning solution with less risk of exacerbating undetected damage. Can hydro jetting damage pipes? Yes, the pressurized water used during hydro jetting can damage pipes. It shouldn’t be used on older, brittle pipes or pipes showing signs of damage, like cracks, leaks, or corrosion. Your plumber should perform a thorough inspection of your pipes before recommending or performing this service to ensure they are safe. Generally, hydro jetting is acceptable on modern pipes in good condition, including PVC piping. However, we may recommend another cleaning method if you have old copper, cast iron, or clay pipes. ## Clogged Pipes? Call Bonney!

Plumbing camera inspections allow trained plumbers to visualize the inside of pipes and sewer lines. They involve snaking a camera through your system’s lines and can commonly be used to diagnose clogs, cracks, root infiltration, and other issues. What does an inspection camera do? An inspection camera is a small, waterproof camera on a flexible snake line that can fit through pipes. It typically has bright lights to draw attention to problems and a radio transmitter to detect the exact location of detected issues. Inspection cameras allow plumbers to visually inspect the inside of pipes, including those that are underground, in walls or a home’s foundation, or encased in concrete. Are sewer cameras worth it? Yes, using a sewer camera during an inspection is worth it. They allow for a more comprehensive evaluation of a home’s plumbing. You should always seek a sewer camera inspection when purchasing a home or if you suspect potential sewer issues. They’re also recommended during regular annual maintenance, even if you don’t suspect an issue, because they can catch potential future problems. What is an inspection eye in plumbing? Inspection eyes are small, strategically placed access points in plumbing. Sometimes called a cleanout or rodding eye, they make it possible to inspect and maintain pipes without excavation. Tools, including cameras, can be inserted into them to clear blockages. What types of pipe defects may be missed by visual inspection? A visual inspection allows for the detection of obvious damage, assembly errors, or external corrosion. However, visual inspections often miss key defects that aren’t visible on a pipe’s surface, including: - Small hairline cracks or cracks in difficult-to-access areas - Underbead cracking, which forms underneath a weld surface - Internal rust or corrosion - Root intrusion ## Do You Need a Pipe Inspection?

While these help the environment and your wallet—they can create trouble for your sewer and drainage systems if you are not careful.

According to Cal Fire approximately two-thirds of home fire deaths occur in homes without working smoke detectors. Since most fatal fires occur at night, it’s essential that every home has working smoke detectors to provide an early warning. ## How Much Does It Cost to Install a Smoke Detector in Sacramento? - Low: $329 - Average: $359 - High: $459 ### What are some factors that affect the cost of installing a smoke detector in Sacramento? - **Type of Smoke Detector:** The cost of installing a smoke detector depends on the type you choose. Basic models are less expensive, while advanced models with features like carbon monoxide detection or smart connectivity cost more. Have a question about a type of smoke detector? The electricians at Bonney are as friendly as they come and will be happy to help! - **Number of Detectors:** The total cost will also depend on the number of smoke detectors you need. Bonney will assess your home and recommend the optimal number of detectors to ensure the safety of your family and property. - **Wiring Requirements:** Installing smoke detectors may require additional electrical work, especially if you need hardwired units. This can increase the overall cost. Bonney’s skilled electricians work hard to ensure a safe and compliant installation, every time. ## Estimates and second opinions are always FREE at Bonney Bonney will dispatch a licensed electrician to your home to determine the number of smoke detectors you’ll require and provide an estimate for the project, free of charge. Second opinions at Bonney are also free! [Schedule Service](/) Your smoke detector’s primary function is to notify you of any suspicious smoke inside your house. This includes everything from burnt cooking, improperly extinguished cigarettes, and electrical fires. Your smoke alarm will sound at the first sign of trouble warning you of a fire before the flames get out of control. Install smoke detectors in every bedroom, in the hallways, and on each level of your home. Bonney electrical technicians can assist you in planning where the smoke detectors will benefit you and your family the most. Be sure to test your smoke detectors every month and regularly replace the batteries every year. It’s easy to test a smoke detector, just hold down the test button on the front of the alarm and if it beeps, it works. Replace smoke detectors when they are 8-10 years old including detectors that use 10-year batteries or are hard-wired. ## Smoke Detectors FAQs What makes a smoke detector installation by Bonney stand out? Choosing Bonney for your smoke detector installation ensures that a certified electrician doesn’t just mount a device—we strategically assess your home’s layout, wiring, and safety needs. Whether it’s battery-operated or hardwired systems, Bonney ensures detectors are placed in every bedroom, on each level, and in hallways for maximum protection. Our technicians can also install smart combination units with carbon monoxide detection, ensuring optimal coverage and safety code compliance. How often should I test and replace my smoke detectors? Bonney recommends monthly testing by pressing the test button and replacing batteries at least twice a year, or on the semi-annual time-change schedule for your family’s safety. While battery-powered units are convenient, hardwired detectors require the same monthly testing. Full replacements are necessary every decade, based on the device’s manufacture date—a standard backed by U.S. and Canadian fire safety authorities. I'm not sure whether to install smoke alarms or smoke detectors—what’s the difference? Understanding the difference helps you choose the right equipment: Standalone smoke alarms sound only in the room where smoke is detected, making them ideal for smaller homes. Integrated smoke detectors, however, connect to a building-wide alarm system—perfect for multi-story homes, apartments, or commercial buildings—and can even trigger automatic alerts to fire authorities. Bonney’s expert team helps you weigh your options and recommends the best setup based on your home’s structure and safety needs. What does a professional installation cost, and what factors affect the price? A standard smoke detector installation from Bonney in the Sacramento area typically costs between $329 and $459, depending on variables such as the type of detector (basic versus CO combination or smart-enabled), the number of units required, and whether hardwiring and electrical work are needed. Does Bonney offer ongoing inspection and maintenance programs? Yes—the [Bonney Beyond membership](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-beyond/) includes regular electrical safety and smoke detector inspections as part of a comprehensive maintenance plan. Members benefit from scheduled yearly checks, priority service, discounted rates, and peace of mind knowing their detectors and other home systems are routinely monitored and maintained. --- ### [Professional Indoor Air Quality Solutions](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) **Published:** May 19, 2016 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Excerpt:** Breathe easier with Bonney’s Indoor Air Quality Solutions **Content:** ## Breathe easier with Bonney’s Indoor Air Quality Solutions Bonney installs several types of air-cleaning devices that work hand-in-hand with your central heating and air conditioning system, each designed to remove certain types of pollutants. - **Particulate matter** includes dust, pollen, animal dander, tobacco smoke as well as particles associated with tiny organisms like dust mites, bacteria, and viruses. - **Gaseous pollutants** come from combustion processes including gas stoves, vehicle exhaust, and tobacco smoke. They also come from building materials, cleaning products, and pesticides. The options below used by themselves are effective, but in combination, provide a fantastic solution for those suffering from asthma, allergies, or other breathing issues. ### ****Professional-Grade Allergen Filters**** [Filtering allergens](https://www.bonney.com/2021/04/allergies-air-purification/) out of your air can help relieve your seasonal allergy symptoms. However, “high efficiency” allergen filters that are available over the counter at do-it-yourself stores can actually harm your heating and air system by restricting the airflow. Good airflow is crucial for the long-term reliability of your equipment. Bonney can install a 4 or 5-inch filter that effectively cleans the air without reducing the airflow. ### **Electronic Air Cleaners** These filters use a process called electrostatic attraction to reduce the number of airborne contaminants in your home. As air passes through your heating and cooling system, it traps large particulates, like dust and dander, in a prefilter. Then, electrically charged filters attract and trap smaller particles, such as bacteria, to prevent them from recirculating through your home. ### Germicidal UVC Lamp Eliminate and neutralize bacteria and airborne viruses while freshening the air you breathe with a whole-house air purification system. It installs directly into your central heating and cooling system’s ductwork or plenum. According to the EPA, the combined use of filtration and germicidal UVC light is an effective means of preventing the distribution of airborne viruses in occupied spaces. ### **iWave Bi-Polar Ionization** Air Purifier [iWave®](https://www.iwaveair.com/#home) devices comprehensively clean your air using a process called needlepoint bi-polar ionization. This process neutralizes live airborne contaminants—like viruses, bacteria, and mold—by removing the hydrogen particles they need to live. For smaller contaminants—like dust, dirt, and pollen—it causes them to clump together, creating particulate matter large enough to be caught by your home’s existing air filters. For smoke, gases, and other pollutants, the iWave system’s ionization process also breaks up pollutants—like smoke and gases—converting these harmful vapors into harmless compounds like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor. Best of all, Bonney installs these systems directly into your HVAC system, helping them clean the air without taking up any extra counter space. ### **Air Scrubber Plus** Air and Surface Cleaner [The Air Scrubber Plus](https://www.airscrubberbyaerusca.com/#product-support) kills contaminants on both your surfaces and in your air. This system produces scrubber ions hydroperoxides, which are then distributed throughout your home. As they land on surfaces and travel through the air, these scrubber particles are proven to combat viruses, bacteria, mold, VOCs, smoke, odors, and fungi. Bonney will install the Air Scrubber Plus directly into your duct system—so it will clean the air as it is distributed. ## Indoor Air Quality FAQs What services does Bonney offer to improve indoor air quality? Bonney offers a full range of indoor air quality solutions tailored to the unique needs of your home. Our services include whole-house air purifiers, UV air sanitation, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, HEPA filtration systems, and duct cleaning. Whether dealing with allergens, dry air, pet dander, or odors, Bonney’s licensed professionals can recommend and install the right system to help you breathe easier year-round. Why is indoor air quality such an important part of home comfort? Indoor air can contain more pollutants than outdoor air, especially in tightly sealed homes. Dust, pollen, mold spores, bacteria, and even chemical vapors from cleaning products or furnishings can accumulate and circulate through your HVAC system. Poor air quality can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues. Bonney’s indoor air quality solutions help remove these contaminants to create a cleaner, healthier living environment for your entire household. How do I know if my home has poor air quality? Signs of poor indoor air quality can include frequent allergy symptoms, lingering odors, excessive dust buildup, or a general feeling of stuffiness. You may also notice increased static electricity, dry skin, or irritation of the eyes and throat. Bonney offers professional assessments to evaluate your home’s air and recommend targeted solutions based on real data and your specific concerns. Can these systems integrate with my existing HVAC setup? Yes, most of Bonney’s indoor air quality products are designed to work seamlessly with your existing heating and cooling system. Whether you’re adding a high-efficiency filter, UV germicidal light, or humidity control unit, our technicians will ensure compatibility and optimal performance. In many cases, these upgrades can also extend the life of your HVAC system by reducing buildup and strain. What’s the best first step to improve my home’s air quality? The best place to start is with a personalized indoor air quality consultation from Bonney. Our experienced team can assess your home’s current air conditions, review your concerns, and create a custom solution that fits your lifestyle and budget.

These trenchless sewer repair methods are designed to restore the integrity of your pipes, without the mess, disruption, or cost of full sewer replacement. Whether you’re dealing with cracks, fractures, or pipe deterioration, our experts will inspect your system and recommend the best non-invasive solution for your needs. We proudly serve Sacramento homeowners with trusted sewer services, cutting-edge equipment, and guaranteed results. ## **What Is Pipeline & Brush Coating?** Pipeline and brush coating are modern trenchless sewer repair methods that strengthen damaged pipes without requiring large-scale excavation. These services are ideal for customers who want to preserve their landscaping or avoid costly demolition. - **Pipe lining** involves inserting an epoxy-saturated liner into the damaged pipe and curing it in place—creating a new, seamless interior “pipe within a pipe.” - **Brush coating** uses a rotating brush to apply epoxy directly to the damaged areas, sealing cracks and preventing further deterioration. Both methods are non-intrusive, cost-effective, and designed for long-term durability. ## How Much Does a Drain or Sewer Line Clearing Cost in Sacramento? - Low: $6,000 - Average: $12,000 - High: $30,000 ## **Benefits of Brush Coating & Pipe Lining** ✔️ **No major digging or property damage** ✔️ **Ideal for cracked, fractured, or aging sewer lines** ✔️ **10- year warranty on epoxy-coated repairs** ✔️ **Precision application for targeted problem areas** ✔️ **Clean, fast, and less disruptive than traditional replacement ## Schedule a FREE camera inspection with Bonney Bonney will dispatch a licensed plumber to complete your installation estimate (FREE) or repair diagnostic ($99). Diagnostic fees are also waived if you choose to complete the repair with Bonney! [Schedule Service](/) ## **How It Works: Step-by-Step** ### **1. Camera Inspection** We start with a high-definition camera inspection to locate problem areas and determine whether your pipe qualifies for lining or brush coating. Our experts will also review walk you through jurisdictional regulations and code to ensure we keep your home up to code. This helps our team recommend the right solution based on the severity and location of the damage. ### **2. Pipe Preparation** Before any epoxy is applied, we hydrojet the inside of the pipe to remove debris, roots, and buildup. This ensures a clean surface for maximum adhesion and durability. ### **3. Epoxy Application** - For **pipe lining**, we insert an epoxy-soaked sleeve into the pipe and inflate it to create a new lining that hardens in place. - For **brush coating**, we use a spinning brush tool to apply epoxy only where needed—perfect for spot repairs. ## **What Is Pipe Bursting?** Pipe bursting is another trenchless method we offer for severely damaged or collapsed pipes. It involves inserting a hydraulic expansion tool, equipped with a steel bullet head, through the existing sewer line. As it travels forward, the tool fractures the old pipe outward into the surrounding soil (hence the “bursting”) and simultaneously pulls a new solid PVC pipe into place behind it. This new pipe spans the full length of the old line and follows the same route and slope. While this method does require some excavation at both ends of the damaged section (typically 20′ to 150′ apart), it avoids the need to dig a continuous trench, preserving your yard, landscaping, and structures. Pipe bursting is ideal when a sewer line has collapsed or has extensive root intrusion that makes other repair methods ineffective. ## **When to Choose Pipeline, Brush Coating, or Pipe Bursting** Bonney offers all three trenchless repair methods because every home—and every pipe—is different. Here’s how to decide: - Brush Coating is a trenchless method with minimal excavation. 10-Year Warranty on epoxy coating material and 5-Year Workmanship Warranty (New Connections Only). Non-transferable. All snaking or cabling of line must be done by Bonney to validate warranty. - Pipe Lining is a trenchless method with minimal, but deeper excavation. 10-Year Warranty on epoxy & material and 5-Year Workmanship Warranty (New Connections Only). Non-transferable. All snaking or cabling of line must be done by Bonney to validate warranty. Pipe Bursting is a trenchless method with excavation to depth of pipe in at least two locations. Lifetime warranty for full length of new pipe & 5-Year Workmanship Warranty. All snaking or cabling of line must be done by Bonney to validate warranty. Not sure what you need? Our sewer camera inspections in Sacramento will give you answers fast. ## **What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?** Trenchless sewer repair means we can fix or replace your sewer line without digging a trench through your yard, driveway, or foundation. These modern methods protect your hardscape, reduce downtime, and save you money on post-repair cleanup or restoration. Pipeline, brush coating, and pipe bursting are just three of the trenchless options available through Bonney. We’ll always recommend the solution that provides the most efficient, cost-effective, and long-lasting result. ## Pipeline & Brush Coatings Sewer Repair **FAQs** How long does epoxy pipe coating last? Both pipe lining and brush coating come with a 10-year warranty on epoxy & material and a 5-year warranty on workmanship from Bonney. These epoxy solutions are engineered to last for decades under normal use. Is this method safe for old pipes? Yes, our technicians assess pipe conditions before applying any treatment. In many cases, older pipes are great candidates for brush coating or lining, especially if they’re structurally intact but showing signs of wear. Do you offer financing? Absolutely. We understand sewer repairs can be unexpected.

Ductless mini-split systems bring heating and AC to areas without access to traditional ductwork by pairing an indoor air handler with an outdoor compressor that has refrigerant lines connected to both sides through a small hole in an exterior wall. They transfer heat indoors or outdoors, depending on the setting used. These systems provide effective climate control to set zones or rooms within a home. Unlike traditional HVAC systems, a ductless mini-split’s indoor unit can be set to an independent temperature from other systems. This allows you to only heat or cool areas that need it, allowing for additional energy efficiency. Installing a ductless mini-split system may require [electrical](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) work, as panels may need to be upgraded or sub-panels added for additional circuit space. How long does it take to install a ductless mini-split? Single-zone ductless mini-split systems can typically be installed in a single day, but a multi-zone setup may take longer. Several factors can influence how long it takes. For example, it’s harder to install a unit on a second floor than on the ground level. Some areas may also be harder to reach due to surrounding structures or vegetation. What size mini-split do I need for my home? There’s no one-size-fits-all way to calculate the right size mini-split for your home, so it’s always best to have an inspection by a skilled technician before choosing. Our technicians determine the correct size by considering factors such as square footage, insulation, and general room or zone layout. They’ll recommend the best systems for your home to maximize overall efficiency and performance. What kind of maintenance does a mini-split require? Maintenance on a mini-split is similar to any other cooling system. Common tasks include cleaning or replacing air filters, keeping the outdoor unit free from vegetation and debris, and getting routine tune-ups and maintenance checks to identify issues and keep your system running efficiently. How often does a ductless mini-split need maintenance? You should have your ductless mini-split inspected by a professional and maintained at least once per year. Ideally, you’d do it twice annually — in the spring before using it as an air conditioner and in the fall before using it as a heater. However, filters should be inspected and cleaned or replaced monthly to maintain high air quality. Annual professional inspections and tune-ups also provide a great opportunity to catch any potential issues early on so you can extend the overall lifespan of your system. Minor issues may not be noticeable if they aren’t directly impacting performance, but over time, they can worsen and result in more significant repairs. ## Save Energy and Stay Cool – Schedule Ductless AC Installation [Request Service](/) [ Call 916.299.0947](tel:9162990947) **Categories:** Air Conditioning --- ### [AC Tune-Ups and Maintenance in Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/air-conditioning-tune-up/) **Published:** May 23, 2025 **Author:** Brian Nelson **Content:** # Sacramento’s Best AC Tune-Ups According to Hundreds of Raving 5-Star Reviews!

[Request Service](/) [ Call 916.299.0947](tel:9162990947) ## AC Tune-UP FAQs What are the most common AC problems that require professional repair? Air conditioners can run into a variety of issues, but some problems are more common than others. Here are a few repairs Bonney sees most often: - **Refrigerant leaks –** If your AC isn’t cooling properly, it could be low on refrigerant due to a leak. Our technicians will find and fix the leak before recharging the system. - **Frozen evaporator coils –** A dirty air filter or restricted airflow can cause the evaporator coils to freeze, leading to warm air or poor performance. A cleaning and airflow check can resolve the issue. - **Faulty capacitors –** If your AC won’t turn on or is struggling to start, a bad capacitor may be the culprit. Replacing this small but essential part is a quick and affordable fix. - **Clogged condensate drain –** A blocked drain line can cause water leaks around your indoor unit. A drain line flush can clear the clog and prevent water damage. - **Malfunctioning thermostat –** If your AC isn’t responding properly, a thermostat recalibration or replacement may be necessary. - **Blower motor failure –** Weak airflow or no airflow at all could mean the blower motor has failed. Bonney can repair or replace the motor to restore proper circulation. Should I repair or replace my unit? Deciding between repairing or replacing your air conditioner can depend on a few factors. Here are some key considerations to help you make an informed decision: **How much is the repair?** If your repair costs are more than 50% of the cost of a new unit, it’s usually better to replace the AC. New systems are more energy-efficient, and you’ll likely save money on utilities in the long run. **How often does your AC break down?** If your AC is breaking down more often or has had multiple repairs in the last few years, it may be a sign that it’s nearing the end of its lifespan. Replacing it with a new model could save you from dealing with constant issues. **Are your energy bills rising?** Older units often lose their efficiency over time. If you notice a sharp increase in your energy bills, it could be a sign that your AC is struggling to keep up and needs replacing to restore energy efficiency. **Is your refrigerant up to date?** If your AC is using the outdated R-22 refrigerant (which is being phased out), it may be costly to repair or recharge it. In this case, upgrading to a new system that uses R-410A refrigerant might be a more practical solution. What should I do if my AC is blowing warm air? First, check your **thermostat settings** to make sure it’s set to “cool” and at the right temperature. Next, inspect your **air filter**—a clogged filter can restrict airflow and make your system struggle. If everything looks good, head outside to **see if the outdoor unit is running**. A tripped circuit breaker or blocked condenser coils could also cause the issue. If your AC is still blowing warm air, Bonney can pinpoint the problem with a professional diagnostic. Whether it’s low refrigerant, a failing compressor, or an airflow issue, our expert technicians will find the root cause and fix it fast to get your home cool again. What happens during an AC repair visit with Bonney? Bonney makes the repair process easy and stress-free.

Bonney offers flexible financing options to help make AC repairs more affordable. Whether it’s a small fix or a major repair, we can help you find a payment plan that works for your budget. There are some limitations based on the price of the repair. If you have questions about whether your repair qualifies for financing, either give us a call, or ask your technician. How can I prevent future AC breakdowns and costly repairs? Regular maintenance is the key to keeping your AC running smoothly. Here are some simple ways to reduce the risk of unexpected breakdowns: - **Change your air filter** every 1–3 months to maintain airflow. - **Schedule professional tune-ups** at least once a year to catch small issues early. - **Keep your outdoor unit clean** and free of debris for optimal performance. - **Check your thermostat settings** to ensure your system isn’t overworking. - **Monitor energy bills**—a sudden spike could indicate a hidden AC problem.

The sump pump will detect when the water reaches a predetermined level and turn on to start draining the water away from your home’s foundation. Taking proactive actions in regard to home safety should be a priority for all homeowners, and sump pumps are a great way to keep your mind at ease when the rainy season starts! ## Different Types of Sump Pumps There are two main types of sump pumps that are typically installed in private residences: submersible and pedestal. Both types offer their own benefits, and your specific needs will determine the best type for your home. Before you decide on the right sump pump for you, learn more about the two main types of sump pumps below: ### Submersible Sump Pumps Submersible sump pumps are placed underground in a pit that is dug out wherever flooding is most likely to occur in your home. Submersible sump pumps are powerful and ideal for homeowners who experience more extreme forms of flooding. They also have the benefit of being relatively quiet when operating due to being located below ground. One drawback that submersible sump pump owners may encounter is that they are more difficult to work on due to their location. Having a professional come to do [routine checkups](https://www.bonney.com/2022/06/5-plumbing-tips-to-prepare-your-home-for-the-summer/) on a submersible sump pump is a good idea for homeowners who opt for this type, as you don’t want any mechanical issues right when you need your sump pump. ### Pedestal Sump Pumps Pedestal sump pumps function the same as submersible sump pumps but are installed above ground at the lowest point in your home. Because they are easier to access, pedestal sump pumps are simpler to maintain and experience less wear and tear than submersible sump pumps. Homeowners who don’t have large flooding problems but still want to protect their property from water damage may opt for a pedestal over a submersible-style pump. Pedestal pumps are less powerful than submersible sump pumps and won’t be as effective if your area has more severe flooding problems. A pedestal model will also be louder than a submersible one when operating, as it’s above ground. If you’re trying to decide what model would be best for you, it’s best to [get a professional plumber’s opinion](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/), as they’ll be able to tell you what option will complement your individual needs. ## Who Can Benefit From Having a Sump Pump Installed? As a resident of Northern California, it’s important for you to be prepared for all of the problems that inclement weather can cause. The last thing any homeowner wants is an emergency that compromises the comfort of you or your family. If you live in an area that experiences any of the following issues, it may be time to think about getting a sump pump installed: - **Homeowners in Flood-Prone Areas:** If you live in an area that is prone to [heavy rains and flooding](https://www.bonney.com/2017/01/heavy-rains-can-wreak-havoc-plumbing-system/), like Sacramento, and don’t have a sump pump, it is strongly recommended that you consider having one installed. Flooding can damage the inside of your property and the foundation of your home itself. It’s always better to be prepared than to be sorry, and a sump pump will give you the peace of mind that the rainy season won’t end up costing you thousands in repairs. - **Properties with Basements or Below-Ground Spaces:** If your home has a basement or any other type of below-ground space, you should consider having a sump pump installed. Aside from flooding, collected moisture can lead to mold problems, which can cause a [whole slew](https://www.livescience.com/can-basement-mold-make-you-sick) of problems. A sump pump will keep your basement or crawlspace dry and help you and your family breathe easily. - **Residents of Areas With High Water Tables:** If your area has high water tables or a small area between groundwater water and the surface of the soil, a sump pump could help protect your home. You can [check the groundwater levels](https://sgma.water.ca.gov/CalGWLive/#groundwater) to see if this applies to you and your property. ## What Do Bonney’s Sump Installation Services Include?

We also inspect the pit, check for clogs, test the pump operation, and offer upgrades like battery‑backup units to ensure protection during power outages. How do I know if I need a new sump pump installed? If your home is prone to flooding, damp basement areas, or sits near a high water table, a sump pump can protect against water damage, mold, and structural risks. Bonney’s technicians evaluate your yard’s drainage, the severity of groundwater issues, and your property’s layout — then recommend the optimal sump pump system tailored to your needs, whether a powerful submersible model or a more accessible pedestal pump. What types of sump pumps are available, and which is right for me? At Bonney, customers can choose from submersible and pedestal sump pumps. Submersible pumps sit within the sump pit and operate quietly and efficiently, suited for severe or frequent flooding. Pedestal pumps are mounted above the pit, are easier to service, and are ideal for moderate water concerns. Bonney’s experts guide you through the benefits of each type, ensuring the selected pump fits your home’s risk profile and maintenance preferences. How much does a sump pump installation cost, and what affects the price? In the Sacramento area, Bonney’s sump pump install costs typically range from $700 for a basic pedestal system to about $1,800 for an average setup, with more advanced models reaching $5,000 depending on features like battery backups, smart monitoring, home size, pit preparation, and any necessary plumbing upgrades. What kind of maintenance does a sump pump need after installation? Annual check-ups are recommended to keep your sump pump reliable, especially before rainy seasons. Bonney advises testing the pump by pouring water into the pit to verify function, cleaning debris, checking the discharge line, inspecting the check valve, and checking battery backups if installed. Regular maintenance by Bonney’s technicians helps avoid clog-related failures, premature wear, and flooding damage. ## Choose Bonney for Sump Installation in Sacramento As a leading provider of sump pump installation services in Sacramento, we’re confident our team can help you select the right sump pump for your property.

They could also raise the retail value of your home and improve its appeal to other eco-friendly residents of the greater Sacramento area. ## Water Conservation Inspection FAQs What exactly is included in a water conservation inspection?

From low-flow upgrades to hidden leaks, the goal is to reduce water usage and utility costs while protecting local resources. How much can I save by fixing household leaks? Water leaks in a typical household can waste over 10,000 gallons annually, enough for around 270 loads of laundry. Even a small dripping faucet can use 30 to 50 gallons a day, but repairing leaks or installing aerators can reduce your water bill by around 10%, with savings reflected immediately. These simple fixes not only conserve water but also lower your utility costs. What measures can Bonney install to improve water efficiency? Beyond leak repairs, Bonney offers a range of upgrades, including low-flow showerheads and faucets, aerators, high-efficiency toilets, and even custom greywater systems that reuse grey water for landscaping.

Are greywater systems worth the investment? Greywater systems are a premium solution that repurposes gently used water from sinks, showers, and laundry to irrigate gardens or lawns. Designed and installed specifically for your home, these systems significantly reduce potable water consumption and can increase property value, especially in drought-prone areas. While they require more engineering and upfront investment, the long-term environmental and financial benefits can be substantial. Why is water conservation important beyond lowering my bill?

Whether you need help removing a broken unit, upgrading to a more powerful model, or addressing persistent jams, Bonney’s certified plumbers handle every step — from troubleshooting to clean installation — using only high-quality, quiet, and efficient disposers. How do I decide between repairing or replacing my garbage disposal? Suppose your disposal is simply leaking, humming, or clogged. Bonney’s plumbers can often fix the issue by tightening bolts, clearing obstructions, or replacing simple parts at a fraction of the cost of a replacement. However, if the motor is burnt out, the unit is cracked, or continually jams, replacement is usually safer and more cost-effective in the long run. We will inspect the unit, explain your options, and let you decide what’s best for you. Can Bonney install high-efficiency or commercial-grade disposals? Absolutely. Bonney is part of the InSinkErator® Pro Circle® program, which means our plumbers are factory-trained to install premium models and offer extended warranties at no extra cost if you choose eligible units. Whether you’re outfitting a busy family kitchen or a commercial-grade setup, we can recommend and install a disposal that matches your usage needs and building code requirements. What shouldn’t I put down my garbage disposal to avoid damage or clogs? Don’t put fibrous and starchy foods like celery, onion skins, pasta, rice, coffee grounds, and hard items like bones or fruit pits into a garbage disposal, as they can jam or dull the blades and clog pipes. Grease, oils, and fat should never be poured into the drain, as they solidify and cause buildup. Following these guidelines will ensure smoother performance and fewer service calls. How can I maintain my garbage disposal and keep it smelling fresh? Keeping your disposal running well and smelling clean is easy with some simple habits: run cold water while using it, grind ice or citrus peels to clean the blades, and flush with boiling water weekly. Natural drain cleaners like baking soda and vinegar can also help. However, if odors or clogs persist, Bonney’s plumbers can inspect your unit, clean or repair the internal parts, and eliminate hidden issues that DIY methods might miss. --- ### [Electrical Home Safety Inspection](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electrical-home-safety-inspection/) **Published:** January 2, 2017 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** # Electrical Home Safety Inspection ## We Inspect Your Entire Electrical System A comprehensive electrical home inspection is an extremely valuable service and is an essential element to ensuring the safety and security of your family and property. It helps keeps you and your home safe from electrical malfunction and can also save you money by making your electrical system more energy efficient. ### Main Electrical Panel The main electrical panel is the heart of your entire electrical system. Electrical panels serve as the distribution center for electricity as they push the electricity through wires or circuits to different electrical systems in your home to keep it powered on. The main panel should be thoroughly inspected every year to make sure the wire connections are properly tightened and the breakers are properly connected to the buss bars, which are metallic strips or bars that conduct electricity within the main panel. We also use an infrared heat scan of your electrical panel to insure there aren’t any problematic hot spots developing. Without a highly reliable and functioning electrical panel, nothing will work the way it’s supposed to. ### GFCI Protection A GFCI device protects us from receiving electric shocks from faults in the electrical devices we use in our home. It works by comparing the input current on the hot side to the output current on the neutral side. A GFCI acts as a circuit breaker of sorts, shutting off power to the outlet and devices in use when a ground fault is detected. GFCI outlets should be tested once a month for safety reasons and every year by a professional electrician. They should be installed in the kitchen, bathrooms, and all outdoor outlets. ### Smoke Detectors Your smoke detector’s primary function is to notify you of any suspicious smoke inside your house. This includes everything from burnt cooking, improperly extinguished cigarettes, and electrical fires. Your smoke alarm will sound at the first sign of trouble warning you of a fire before the flames get out of control. Install smoke detectors in every bedroom, in the hallways, and on each level of your home. Bonney electrical technicians can assist you in planning where the smoke detectors will benefit you and your family the most. Be sure to test your smoke detectors every month. ### Existing Fluorescent and Incandescent Lighting Both types of lighting can be retrofitted with LED fixtures. Many LEDs have a rated life of up to 50,000 hours, which is approximately 50 times longer than a typical incandescent bulb and 8-10 times longer than a CFL bulb. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, electricity used for artificial lighting in the U.S. could be cut by nearly half by 2030 through the adoption of high efficiency LEDs. ### Whole House Surge Protection If you want to protect devices plugged into outlets anywhere in your home, have a Whole House Surge Protection System professionally installed directly to your electrical panel by our electrical technicians Bonney. All electricity coming into the house can be diffused and keep a steady, balanced power supply. A Whole House Surge Protector will give you a sense of relief knowing that your appliances and electronic devices are safe and protected from an unexpected power surge. They can also save you thousands of dollars in damage! ### Tamper Resistant Outlets The National Electrical Code (NEC), requires that new and renovated homes must have tamper-resistant receptacles. According to a 10-year report released by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, approximately 2,400 children receive emergency room treatment every year for injuries caused by inserting objects into electrical outlets. Having tamper resistant outlets will give homeowners a sense of relief that small children will be safe from injury. ### Checking For Back Stabbed Connections Improperly installed receptacles are found in a lot of homes. The method being used to install these plugs is called “back stabbing”. This refers to inserting the wire into a stab lock connection at the back of the electrical receptacle, instead of wrapping the wire around the set screws provided for proper installation. Back stabbing can lead to overheating and a possible electrical fire. ### Arc Fault Protection An arc fault is a high power discharge of electricity between two or more conductors. This discharge translates into heat, which can break down the wire’s insulation and possibly trigger an electrical fire. There are a wide range of conditions that may cause arcing including wire degradation, humidity or heat, extended mechanical stress, physical damage, poor wiring or connections, or even animals chewing through insulation. Arc faults in the home are one of the leading causes for electrical wiring fires. Each year in the U.S., over 40,000 fires are attributed to home electrical wiring. These fires result in over 350 deaths and over 1,400 injuries each year. An Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) outlet is designed to recognize many types of potentially hazardous arc-faults and respond by interrupting power, reducing the likelihood of the home’s electrical system being an ignition source of the fire. ### Checking for Proper Grounding of Your Electrical System Proper grounding is an important and valuable safety feature that should not be overlooked. That is why it is important to have a Bonney electrical technician check and confirm that your electrical system is grounded. ## Electrical Home Safety Inspection FAQs What is an electrical home safety inspection, and what does it include? An electrical home safety inspection is a thorough evaluation of your home’s electrical system to ensure everything is up to code, functioning properly, and free of hazards. Bonney’s licensed electricians inspect outlets, wiring, electrical panels, grounding systems, GFCIs, smoke detectors, and other components to identify potential safety issues and recommend necessary updates or repairs. When should I schedule an electrical safety inspection? You should consider an inspection when buying or selling a home, after a major renovation, if your home is over 25 years old, or if you’re experiencing unexplained electrical issues like tripping breakers or flickering lights. It’s also a smart preventive measure to ensure your home remains safe and compliant with current safety standards. What are the benefits of having an electrical safety inspection? Regular inspections can prevent electrical fires, protect valuable electronics, and identify outdated or unsafe wiring before it causes problems. Bonney’s inspections provide peace of mind by catching hidden issues early, saving you money on future repairs. Plus, a current inspection report can add value during real estate transactions. Will I receive a report or recommendations after the inspection? Yes, Bonney provides a detailed report outlining the condition of your electrical system, along with any safety concerns or code violations found. You’ll also receive professional recommendations for repairs or upgrades, prioritized by urgency, so you can take action as needed. Our team is available to complete any recommended work with transparent pricing. Can an inspection help me plan future upgrades or improvements? Absolutely. Whether you’re considering adding a home office, EV charger, hot tub, or solar panels, a safety inspection can tell you if your current system can support those upgrades. Bonney’s electricians can assess your capacity and suggest smart, safe improvements to prepare your home for the future. --- ### [Electrical Circuit Upgrade](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/electrical-circuit-upgrade/) **Published:** January 2, 2017 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** # Electrical Circuit Upgrade Many older homes were not designed to handle the power needs of modern families and modern electronics. An older home equals older wiring. Whether you’re using multiple computers or just using the washer and dryer, the electrical demands of your current lifestyle may put extra stress on the wiring in your home, increasing the chance of blown fuses and electrical fires. Electrical circuit upgrades can bring it up to date and leave your electrical system working better than ever. Home electrical circuit upgrades are a crucial step in ensuring you have the safest and most effective electricity in your home giving you a sense of relief that you don’t have faulty or unsafe wiring. Some homeowners allow their wiring to get worse and worse until it’s too late. Is your home bombarded with electrical problems? There are many warning signs your home needs electrical circuit upgrades: - **Flickering lights.** Flickering lights can cause quite a disruption in your home when you’re trying to do simple everyday tasks. It’s usually a sign of faulty wiring somewhere in the home. - **Discolored or charred outlets and switches.** This is a sign that there’s a short caused by either a loose connection or faulty wiring near an outlet or switch. The loose connection may cause sparking that could result in a small fire which can cause the surface of the outlet to char or discolor. - **Circuit Breaker trips frequently.** Your circuit breakers job is to prevent fires by “tripping” or cutting off electrical flow when a circuit exceeds the number of amps it’s designed to handle. - **Knob and tube wiring.** This type of wiring is typical in homes built before 1935. If you notice any of these warning signs in your home, call the electrical technicians at Bonney to check it out before they can cause any significant damage to your home. Although there is no set timeline for replacing your electrical system, you should always have your connections checked by a qualified electrician periodically. ## Electrical Circuit Upgrade FAQs What is an electrical circuit upgrade, and why might I need one? An electrical circuit upgrade involves adding or improving circuits in your home’s electrical system to accommodate additional power demands safely. If you’re installing new appliances, converting to electric heating, or adding outlets in a room, you may need upgraded or dedicated circuits. Bonney’s licensed electricians assess your home’s capacity and make the necessary upgrades to ensure safe and efficient operation. How can I tell if my current circuits are overloaded? Common signs of an overloaded circuit include breakers that frequently trip, warm outlets or switch plates, flickering lights, or buzzing sounds from electrical panels. These issues can be symptoms of too many devices drawing power from a single circuit. Bonney’s electricians can evaluate your system to determine whether a circuit upgrade is needed to resolve the problem and prevent fire hazards. Are circuit upgrades necessary for new home technology or remodels? Yes, many smart home devices, home offices, electric vehicle chargers, or kitchen remodels require additional power and dedicated circuits. Upgrading your electrical circuits ensures your home can handle these modern loads without compromising safety or performance. Bonney can provide a full consultation to plan the right number and type of circuits for your upgrades. What’s involved in a circuit upgrade from Bonney? Bonney begins by thoroughly assessing your current electrical system and power usage. Our electricians then install new wiring, breakers, and outlets as needed, always in compliance with the latest electrical codes. We also ensure everything is properly grounded and that your panel can support the added load, recommending a panel upgrade if necessary. Can upgrading my circuits improve my home’s resale value or safety? Homes with modern, code-compliant electrical systems are more attractive to buyers and less likely to experience electrical issues. Upgrading your circuits protects your devices and appliances and reduces the risk of fire due to overloaded wiring. It’s a smart investment that pays off in safety and long-term value. --- ### [Radiant Barriers](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/radiant-barriers/) **Published:** February 13, 2024 **Author:** Bonney Plumbing, Heating & Air **Content:** # Radiant Barriers Installation Services in Sacramento ![](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Screenshot-2024-02-13-162743.png) ## Radiant Barriers: Superior Insulation for Your Home Rising energy costs can leave homeowners scratching their heads. One of the biggest causes of temperature fluctuation in a home is heat gain and loss. If your home has an older style of insulation technology, you could find yourself paying more and more money to keep your HVAC system running as the seasons change. Luckily, with advancements in insulation technology, there are options for homeowners whose energy bills are getting out of hand. As a revolutionary insulation solution designed to combat heat loss and gain in areas with warmer-than-average climates, radiant barriers are a great choice for most homeowners. If you’re considering investing in radiant barriers for your home, take a moment to learn more about their benefits and how Bonney can help install them! ## What are Radiant Barriers? Radiant barriers are usually made from double-sided foil and work by employing a simple but effective principle: reflection. Unlike traditional insulation that slows down the rate of heat transfer in your home, radiant barriers actually reflect the heat from the sun away from your house. ## Do Radiant Barriers Work All Year Long? In the warmer months, when the sun warms up the roof of your house, all of that heat is transferred to your insulation and spreads throughout your home, raising the interior temperature and activating your HVAC system. When a radiant barrier is installed alongside traditional insulation, [up to 97%](https://web.ornl.gov/sci/buildings/tools/radiant/#:~:text=The%20emissivity%20of%20typical%2C%20clean,of%2095%20to%2097%20percent.) of the sun’s heat is reflected, and the remaining 3% is then distributed as it would normally be without a radiant barrier. While this doesn’t mean that your energy bills will be reduced by 97%, that’s a massive amount of heat that isn’t making its way into your home and causing your air conditioning to work harder! Radiant barriers also help keep your house warm during the colder months of the year. The heat your HVAC unit distributes throughout your home will move outwards through the floor, walls, and ceiling. Because radiant barriers are double-sided, the interior facing part will reflect that heat back into your home. As a result, your HVAC system won’t have to work as hard, and you should see lower bills throughout the fall and winter. When combined with properly installed, traditional insulation, radiant barriers can reduce the amount you save on heating and cooling [by up to 10%](https://www.energy.gov/energysaver/radiant-barriers), potentially saving you hundreds of dollars annually! ## Who Can Benefit From Radiant Barriers? As a resident of Sacramento, you’re already well aware of how varied our climate can be. As you consider investing in radiant barriers, learn more about who can benefit from them below: - **Homeowners With High Energy Bills:** It can get hot in Sacramento once the spring and summer roll around. Radiant barriers are the perfect solution for any homeowner who wants to save some money on their air conditioning costs once it starts getting warmer out. If you’ve been trying to find a way to reduce energy costs in your home, now’s the perfect time to get a consultation on whether radiant barriers could be just the answer you’ve been looking for! - **Energy Conscious Individuals:** If your HVAC is running less, it will save you money and reduce the size of your home’s carbon footprint. Once radiant barriers are installed, they don’t use any consumables to operate and don’t cost any money to function. Since your HVAC system won’t be working as hard throughout the year due to the radiant barrier, the amount of energy needed to keep your home comfortable year-round will be much less than before. - **Those Seeking Enhanced Comfort:** Having to constantly fiddle with your home’s thermostat to get it comfortable can be a nightmare, and even when you do, there’s no guarantee it will stay at your desired temperature for long. Radiant barriers will keep your home comfortable more consistently than just traditional insulation, letting you enjoy spending time inside year-round, no matter what the weather is like. ## Can Bonney Install Radiant Barriers in Sacramento?

Radiant barriers are typically made from double-sided foil and function by reflecting heat rather than absorbing it. Unlike traditional insulation that slows heat transfer, radiant barriers reflect the sun’s heat away from your home, reducing the amount of heat entering your living spaces. This reflective property helps maintain a more consistent indoor temperature, especially during the hot summer months.[ ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_barrier?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Do radiant barriers provide benefits year-round? Yes, radiant barriers are effective throughout the year. In the summer, they reflect up to 97% of the sun’s heat, keeping your home cooler and reducing the workload on your air conditioning system. During the colder months, the interior-facing side of the barrier reflects heat back into your home, helping to retain warmth and reduce heating costs. When combined with traditional insulation, radiant barriers can save energy. Who can benefit from installing radiant barriers? Radiant barriers can benefit homeowners experiencing high energy bills, especially in regions with hot climates like Sacramento. Additionally, individuals aiming to reduce their home’s carbon footprint or seeking enhanced indoor comfort will find radiant barriers advantageous. By reflecting heat, these barriers reduce the strain on HVAC systems, leading to energy savings and a more comfortable living environment.[ ](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/radiant-barriers/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) How does Bonney install radiant barriers? Bonney provides professional radiant barrier installation services in Sacramento and surrounding areas. Upon scheduling an appointment, our team thoroughly inspects your home to determine the optimal placement of the barriers. Once approved, we install the radiant barriers strategically to maximize energy efficiency and comfort throughout the year. Bonney also offers ongoing support, including repairs and maintenance as needed.[ ](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/radiant-barriers/?utm_source=chatgpt.com) Will a radiant barrier make a difference even if I already have attic insulation? Yes, a radiant barrier complements traditional insulation by targeting a different type of heat transfer. While typical insulation slows down conductive and convective heat, radiant barriers reflect radiant heat, offering an added layer of protection that can boost the overall energy efficiency of your home. --- ### [Check Your Permits](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/check-your-permits/) **Published:** February 18, 2020 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** # Check Your Permits, Inspections or HERS Testing Status A lot of the Plumbing, HVAC and/or Electrical work Bonney performs for our customers, requires a permit from a local agency.

Bonney must work with local agencies and rating companies to schedule inspections and tests at the customer’s property. Currently, we communicate this information via mail and phone calls, but with this new “Permit Status Check Portal” you can now easily look up the status and date of your permit inspection or HERS test online. ![Bonney Status icon - blue clipboard icon](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/status.png)**[Check Your Permit Status](https://www.bonney.com/permit-status/)** ![Bonney Search - magnifying glass Icon](https://www.bonney.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/reschedule.png)**[Schedule Your Inspection](https://calendly.com/bonney_permits/inspection-scheduling?)** --- ### [Financing](https://www.bonney.com/financing/) **Published:** April 14, 2020 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** # Plumbing, HVAC, and Electrical Financing with Bonney Issues in your home can happen suddenly, and they often strike at what seems to be the worst possible times.

If not today, then you’ll need them tomorrow, or next month, or next year. Given that electricity powers and charges everything in our world from cars to computers to coffee machines, you need an electrician you can trust who is available day or night. In a competitive field crowded with electrical companies, how do you find the best one? Or at least a good one? We’ll talk about that in the second part of this article. First, we’ll discuss the kinds of services you can expect an electrician to perform. ## What Services Do Electricians Provide? ### Electrical Inspections A structure’s electrical system should be inspected annually. In an electrical inspection, all components of a system are examined to make sure they are in proper working order. An electrician will find and fix damaged wiring, failing components, faulty outlets, and the like. Getting annual electrical safety inspections can help homeowners avoid expensive repairs down the road by catching problems early. Inspections can also reveal problems that could lead to dangerous fires if not addressed. ### Rewiring Worn-out wiring or electrical systems that have become overloaded may need rewiring. How can you tell if your home or building needs rewiring? Look for these signs: - Lights aren’t as bright as they should be - Lights sometimes flicker - Cords and plugs get hot - You can hear buzzing or sizzling in outlets - You feel a shock when plugging in a cord - Breakers often trip - You see sparks when plugging cords into outlets Take these signs seriously and call an electrician. He or she may perform a simple repair, or a **whole house rewiring** may be necessary for the safety of all occupants of the house or building. ### GFCI Outlet Installation Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets are designed to prevent people from getting shocked. Usually located in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and porches, these outlets are built to immediately stop the flow of electric current when a sensor detects an imbalance in the flow. GFCI outlets have a reset button that when depressed allows for the current to flow again normally. ### Surge Protection Power surges are sudden elevations in voltage that burn the wiring inside appliances, electronics, and devices. Low-cost surge protectors in the form of outlet strips are on the market, and many homeowners rely on these to keep their possessions safe. These units do not always offer enough protection, however. The most reliable protection is a **whole house surge protector**. A licensed electrician must install this kind of system. ### Electrical Panel Upgrades The electrical panel is the place where electricity from the outside power company gets distributed through the various circuits of the home or building. Sometimes electrical panels need to be upgraded. When a home or building is several decades old (or older), sometimes the panel needs to be beefed up to handle the modern household’s demand. Today’s families and businesses utilize a host of devices and electronics that all draw power and put pressure on the electrical panel. Signs that your electrical panel may need upgrading include crackling sounds coming from the panel, rusty or corroded circuit breakers, or warmth inside the panel. Another sign is if appliances no longer run at full power. An electrical panel upgrade may involve **electrical panel rewiring**, bus bar replacement, and circuit breaker replacement. ### Fixture Installation: Lights and Fans Electricians are the tradespeople who install lights, fans, chandeliers, sconces, recessed lights, track lights, and ceiling-mounted lights. Hire these professionals for new installations or if any of these fixtures need repair or replacing. ### Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Call an electrician to install your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. These warning devices should be checked annually. ### Landscape and Outdoor Lighting Residential landscape lighting, security, and outdoor lighting are installed by electrical companies. Commercial exterior lighting includes the illumination of parking lots, signage, sports venues, hospitals, business parks, amusement parks, etc. ## Now, How to Find a Trustworthy Electrician There are many reputable and affordable electricians. And, as in any industry, there are also a few bad apples. The tips below will help you find a good electrician—a provider who will do the job well, charge you reasonably, and deliver professional service. ### Start by Asking Around Ask local people you trust for the names of electrical companies they have used. Getting a personal recommendation is worth its weight in gold. Don’t forget to ask if they’ve hired a company that they would not ask back; that information is just as valuable. Ask about the quality of the company’s customer service and work done, the affordability of pricing, and how the technician presented himself or herself. ### Look Online You can find out a lot just by looking online. Get on your browser and search for “electrician near me” or “electrician .” That will bring up a list of tradespeople you can start with. ### Check Online Reviews Satisfied customers will often take the trouble to go online and post a review. Dissatisfied customers definitely take the time to air their opinions. Visit impartial review sites such as Yelp and the Better Business Bureau and read what people are saying about the companies you’re looking at. Google reviews can be responded to by providers, but providers can’t alter reviews, so in addition to seeing customer feedback, you can also see how the company handles negative comments. Social media channels such as Facebook and community apps such as Nextdoor are great places to find recommendations and warnings. ### Visit Electricians’ Websites You can learn a lot by browsing an electrical company’s website. Look at its list of services, its photo gallery, and the About page. Often the About page will include information on the company’s history as well as on the individuals who make up the company’s management. ### Call a Few Electrical Companies Once you’ve gone through all the steps above, identify the three most likely candidates to investigate further. Call each company. Describe the work that you need to have done and then ask the questions that were not answered on their website. These questions may include the following: - How soon can they get to your job? - Do they do estimate visits? For free? - Who does the work? A master electrician? - Are company employees drug tested? Background checked? - How will an electrician coming to your home be identifiable as a company employee? When you’re satisfied with the answers, set up an estimate visit. If it’s a big job, such as an installation or a whole-house rewiring, schedule estimates with three companies. ### During and After the Estimate Visit This visit will be the first time you meet and interact with someone from the electrical company. He or she will be on your property to look at the job that needs to be done and provide you with a written estimate of the job cost. Pay attention to the details throughout this visit. The first important action is confirming that the estimator is an actual company employee. Is the truck marked clearly with the company name? Is the estimator wearing a company uniform? Does he or she have a company photo ID? Don’t let the person enter your home if you cannot answer yes to those questions. During the visit, note how the estimator interacts with you. Ask if he or she is the electrician who will come back to perform the work. And if not, who will? If any particulars about the visit impress or unimpress you, remember them. The estimator may give you a written quote at the end of the visit. However, if the job being quoted is extensive, you may have to wait for 24 hours to get the numbers. An estimator may pressure you to accept a quote and schedule the work before he or she leaves your home. If you’re not sure you’re ready, don’t commit. Tell them you won’t decide until you have estimates from two more companies. You’re being honest, and the statement may also result in a more competitive bid. ### When the Job is Done When you’ve settled on a company, the real test will be in how the electrician does the job. After the work is complete, assess the total experience. Was communication with everyone in the company from the phone rep to the electrician satisfactory? If you had any issues, were they resolved easily? Were the estimator and the electrician courteous and professional? Was the work done well? Did the pricing seem reasonable? How you answer these questions will determine if you decide to use this company again in the future. Hopefully, everything about your interactions and the quality of work done is positive, and you have found your new go-to electrician. ## Bonney [Electricians](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) Service The Following Locations [Antelope Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/antelope-electrician/) [Carmichael Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/carmichael-electrician/) [Citrus Heights Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/citrus-heights-electrician/) [Elk Grove Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/elk-grove-electrician/) [Fair Oaks Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/fair-oaks-electrician/) [Folsom Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/folsom-electrician/) [Rancho Cordova Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/rancho-cordova-electrician/) [Roseville Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/roseville-electrician/) [West Sacramento Electrician](https://www.bonney.com/west-sacramento-electrician/) [Sacramento](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) --- ### [Review Us](https://www.bonney.com/feedback/) **Published:** May 19, 2016 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** # Review Us Customer service is extremely important to us at Bonney.

The Bonney Cares program was created in 2014 as an effort to organize our various and far reaching community involvement and sponsorships.

Back in 1970—when Mark Bonney got his first taste of plumbing at the age of 15 while helping a friend install PVC piping in a mobile home park—he had no idea of the future success this experience would bring. During his junior year at Anderson High School, Mark pursued his desire to be a plumber. He got a job with a plumbing company in Redding through a Work Experience class at his school. He started out as an assistant – washing vans, delivering parts, and cleaning the shop. By the age of 16, he was ready to be put in a company van as a plumber. He had phenomenal success as a plumbing service and repair technician. Mark joined the plumbers union in 1976 and learned the new construction trade for residential and commercial plumbing. In 1978, he became a licensed contractor and began his own business R.M. Bonney Plumbing; and in 1990, the first Bonney service van was put into operation (we now have over 100). The company grew with an emphasis on service and repair plumbing and continued to offer new construction services as well. ## The Addition of Bonney Drain Cleaning Service By 1996, a full-service [drain cleaning division](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/) was added, which included [trenchless sewer line replacement](https://www.bonney.com/drain-sewer/trenchless-sewer-replacement/). This also began the Mark and Candace team picture era. They placed their photo on every service van and became widely recognized throughout the Sacramento area. When talking to people about their business, they receive a lot of comments stating, “Oh! I’ve seen those vans driving around.” ## The History of Bonney Heating and Air Conditioning In 2008, the Bonneys added a [Heating](https://www.bonney.com/heating/) and [Air Conditioning](https://www.bonney.com/air-conditioning/) division, specializing in service, repair, and system replacements. This came with an emphasis on providing top-notch technicians, superior products, and exceptional customer service, which has allowed us to service thousands upon thousands of satisfied, loyal customers. To combat the air quality challenges Sacramento faces, Bonney has since extended our HVAC service to create an [Air Quality division](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/). ## Bonney Electrical and Commercial Service Over the years, Bonney found that many heating, AC, and plumbing concerns intersected with electrical problems. To provide the highest possible quality in service and care, Bonney added an [Electrical division](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/). This allows us to safely provide the comprehensive home services that our customers require. With this expansion of services, Bonney also began serving large-scale commercial projects, allowing us to meet the needs of Sacramento-area businesses. ## Bonney Updates: Continuing to Grow Over the years, Bonney has worked to channel our success back into the community through the [Bonney Cares program](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/bonneycares/). In alignment with our commitment to serving the community, Bonney also continues to expand our offerings to meet the growing needs of the Sacramento residents. Some of our recent service additions include: - [EV Charging Stations](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/ev-charging-stations/) - [Tankless](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/tankless-water-heaters/) and [Solar](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/solar-water-heaters/) [water heaters](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-heaters/) - New [water conservation services](https://www.bonney.com/plumbing/water-conservation/) - [Backup generator](https://www.bonney.com/electrician/) installation and care - New [air quality solutions](https://www.bonney.com/indoor-air-quality/) We also redesigned our website for easier mobile access and quicker site speed. Bonney has come a long way from the first service van in 1990. While Bonney is aggressively growing organically and through acquisitions within California, we still maintain the founding ideas from Mark and Candace Bonney; providing excellent customer service and unparalleled quality craftsmanship while ensuring customers and employees are happy. Should you be interested in selling your business to partner with Bonney through acquisition, please reach out to us at . We are excited to continue striving to better the community that we have been strongly rooted in for the past 30 years. --- ### [Natomas](https://www.bonney.com/service-area/natomas/) **Published:** July 6, 2017 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Excerpt:** Plumbing & HVAC Company in Natomas **Content:** ## Natomas Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning Services Serving the Greater Sacramento area since 1978!

We use tools, such as Google Analytics, which are operated by non-affiliated companies. These analytics companies may collect usage data (using cookies, pixels and similar tools) about our Services in order to provide us with reports and metrics that help us to evaluate usage of our Services and improve performance and user experiences. You can also download the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent their data from being used by Google Analytics at . ***Cross-device Tracking***. We and our service providers may use the information that we collect about you within our Services and on other non-affiliated sites and services to help us and these service providers identify other devices that you use (e.g., a mobile phone, tablet, other computer, etc.). This information may be used as set forth in this section. ***Targeted Advertising***. We work with ad networks, channel partners, mobile ad networks, analytics and measurement services and others (“**ad companies**”) to personalize content and display advertising within our Services, as well as to manage our advertising on non-affiliated sites, mobile apps and online services. We may share certain information with these ad companies, and we and they may use cookies, pixels tags, and other tools to collect usage and browsing information within our Services, as well as on non-affiliated sites, apps and services, such as IP address, location information, device ID, cookie and advertising IDs, and other identifiers, as well as browsing information.

We may share or make available certain customer list information (such as your name, email address and other contact information) with other entities (i) so that we can better target ads and content to you across non-affiliated sites, platforms and services, and (ii) in some cases, these entities may help us to enhance our customer lists with additional demographic or other information, so we can better target our advertising and marketing campaigns. You can opt out of this type of targeted advertising (also called “sharing” under California law) by managing your cookie preferences as set forth in [Section 7. Your Privacy Choices](#ypc) below. ***Managing Your Preferences*****.** We make available several ways for you to manage your preferences regarding targeted advertising, matching and cookies within our Services. Many of these are browser and device specific, which means that you need to set the preference for each browser and device you use to access our Services; in addition, if you delete or block cookies, you may need to reapply these preferences. Further, opting out of cookies and advertising as discussed below does not mean that you will no longer receive advertising content from us. You may continue to receive generic or “contextual” ads from us. - **Cookie preference manager***.* You can review or change your preferences for targeting cookies and tags on our websites by adjusting your cookie settings from the notice in the lower left of every page on this website. These settings are browser and device specific. - **Browser signals**. If our website detects that your browser is transmitting a “global privacy control”—or GPC— signal, we will apply that to opt that browser on your device out of targeting cookies on our website. If you come to our website from a different device or from a different browser on the same device, you will need to apply GPC for that browser and/or device as well. See [Section 12. Additional Information for California Residents](#aicr), below, for more information about GPC. Our websites do not recognize or respond to browser “do not track” signals. - **Industry ad choice programs***.* You can also control how participating ad companies use the information that they collect about your visits to our website and those of entities that collect information about you through cookies on our website in order to display more relevant targeted advertising to you.

You may also download the DAA AppChoices () tool to help control interest-based advertising on apps on your mobile device. Please note that opting out of participating ad networks does not opt you out of being served advertising. You may continue to receive generic or ‘contextual’ ads on our Services. You may also continue to receive targeted ads on other websites, from companies that do not participate in the above programs. - **Browser settings**. If you wish to prevent cookies from tracking your activity on our website or visits across multiple websites, you can set your browser to block certain cookies or notify you when a cookie is set; you can also delete cookies.

California privacy laws define a “sale” as disclosing or making available to a third-party personal information in exchange for monetary or other valuable consideration, and “sharing” broadly includes disclosing or making available personal information to a third party for purposes of cross-context behavioral advertising. While we do not disclose personal information to third parties in exchange for monetary compensation, we may “sell” or “share” (as defined by the CCPA) certain information, including IP address, identifiers, information about your web browsing and usage of our Services, information about how you interact with our ads, and certain analytic information, with third party data analytics, marketing, and advertising partners. We do so to improve and evaluate our advertising campaigns and better reach customers and prospective customers with more relevant ads and content. If we are unable to provide you with the service you have requested, then, with your consent, we may share your personal information with an affiliated entity who is able to provide you with the services you have requested. We do not sell or share sensitive personal information, about California residents. Nor do we sell or share any personal information about individuals who we know are under sixteen (16) years old. ***Sources of Personal Information**.* In general, we may collect the categories of personal information identified in the table above from the following categories of sources: directly from individuals, advertising networks, data analytics providers, service providers, and data brokers ***Purposes of Collection, Use, and Disclosure***.

The decision to repair your existing heating and air system or to replace it with a new one takes careful consideration. At Bonney, we service and install all [brands](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/quality-brands/) of heating and air equipment. To help you make the best decision, evaluate the following issues according to your priorities: ### 1) Economics Initially, a new system costs more than a repair. However, in certain situations, it just doesn’t make sense to repair old equipment. - **Age:** If your HVAC equipment is more than 12 years old, and you have a repair, it could be the beginning of things to come. The first repair is a good time to get a thorough evaluation of your existing system. Bonney’s NATE certified technicians can give you an excellent understanding of the condition of existing components and the cost to replace those components as they fail. Most systems less than 10 years old should be repaired. Bonney systems are available with 10 year parts and labor warranties, plus a 20 year install warranty. We can check with your equipment manufacturer to see if your current system is covered under warranty. - **Failed Component:** Certain major components are so expensive to repair, that it’s better to use that money as a down payment on a new system. Two components require special consideration: compressor and heat exchanger. These parts are not only expensive to repair, but their failure can be an indicator of installation deficiencies that are shortening the life of your equipment. If the compressor or heat exchanger has failed, equipment replacement is usually the best decision. - **Frequency:** How much do you use your heating and air system? If you don’t use it very often, a repair makes more sense than a replacement. However, if you use your system frequently, then upgrading to a new, energy efficient system, will provide greater energy savings. The more you use it, the more you will save on energy bills. - **Efficiency:** Many industry changes over the last decade have created highly efficient comfort systems. The changes mean that your home can be heated or cooled with less energy, thereby reducing your energy bill, sometimes drastically! Lennox and Rheem are both cutting edge brands installed by Bonney that reflect the highest in available efficiencies. - **Financing:** Many of our customers have found that monthly payments are less than the dollars saved from efficiency. This is especially true for homes in which an older system is used frequently. In other words, ***some customers will actually save money on a monthly basis by replacing the heating and air system***. - **Rebates:** Some manufacturers and utilities offer rebates back to customers who upgrade to energy efficient systems. These incentives aren’t always offered. If they are available when your system breaks, they could be a significant reason to replace instead of repair. Learn more about the current rebates https://www.bonney.com/about-us/rebates-tax-credits/. ### 2) Comfort Sometimes a system will operate, but it just doesn’t work well. Bonney addresses several factors when a new system is installed. Any of these problems can severely affect your comfort – repairing a system will not address these issues, but your Bonney technician may be able to offer an improvement in these areas with other products. - **Infiltration:** Certain parts of your home can be hotter and cooler because air is transferring through parts of walls, floors, ceilings, windows and doors. These drafts may not be noticeable, but can create hot and cold spots in your home. Envelope air sealing is a service that Bonney provides and can be included as part of a new heating and air system installation. - **Zoning:** Another way to address the hot and cold spots is through zoning. New technology allows you to have the temperature you want, in the place you want, when you want it. In other words, you can have different temperatures in different rooms of your home. Or, you can reduce the hot and cold spots by meeting the demands of different parts of your home more effectively. Bonney features Honeywell zoning products among other quality brands. - **Control:** Bonney installs fantastic controls by Honeywell and Emerson that allow you to adjust the temperatures throughout your home, or even a second home, via telephone, internet or phone apps. Or, in your home, you can use a wireless portable comfort control to do the same thing. If you wish, you can see the current outdoor temperature and humidity right on your thermostat and get today’s weather report at the same time. What if there is a problem? We can even establish notifications that alert you and Bonney to potential problems with your system. A little too high tech? Not to worry, we also can install the basic round thermostat that you grew up with! - **Ducting:** Correct air flow is crucial to the comfort, long life and efficiency of your heating and air system. We find that many homes are not constructed with correctly sized duct work. When sized improperly, air flow is restricted through the system which inhibits proper operation; heat exchangers overheat and compressors overwork. Ducting can also degrade over time causing air leaks. When this happens, utility bills increase and comfort decreases. Broken ducts can also bring dust into the home. Bonney technicians can check your ducts to insure integrity and will recommend replacement if issues are found. ### 3) Reliability One big problem with an old system is that it always seems to break down when you need it the most. The hottest days of the year create the biggest load on your air conditioning system, so that is when it is most likely to break. If the following issues are important to you, a system replacement would be your best decision. If you don’t have these concerns, and can tolerate a little inconvenience, then repairing your system may be a better decision. - **Safety:** Is someone in your home especially sensitive to extreme temperatures? Older people, children, and people with health issues can suffer as a result of a broken heating and air system. A new system is the best way to protect those who really need comfortable temperatures. - **Inconvenience:** An unplanned break down can ruin your whole day, or your whole week!! Even though Bonney does everything we can to reach our customers in a timely manner, we all have better things to do than to meet a repair man. A new, reliable system frees you from that long wait. - **Planning:** With our [financing](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/financing-available/) https://www.bonney.com/about-us/financing-available/ options, you can plan your expenses. A surprise heating or cooling failure creates an immediate, and often unbudgeted, expense. A new system, however, not only reduces your energy costs, but allows you to stay in budget too. Whether you decide to repair or replace, you will want to keep your home comfort systems in the best shape possible throughout the year. Consider our [Bonney Automatic Maintenance (BAM) Plan](https://www.bonney.com/bonney-automatic-maintenance-bam/), an inexpensive way to keep your systems running safely and reliably. --- ### [Reviews](https://www.bonney.com/about-us/testimonials/) **Published:** May 19, 2016 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** # Bonney Plumbing, Heating and Air Reviews Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air prides itself on 5-star customer service.

The apprentice is still learning the ropes of the job and has to be supervised on any project. The wiremen can work solo on residential jobs, but not on commercial ones. The journeyman can work on almost any project but is monitored by a master electrician. The master electrician can handle any electrical problem and will monitor other electricians to make sure that they are doing things safely and properly. ### Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter To better protect you from shock and potential fire, you should have Bonney install ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) outlets in your kitchen and bathrooms. These outlets will shut off if they sense the current going through moisture. As you probably know, water and electricity do not mix. Remember to test your GFCI outlets every month by pressing the “test” button on the face. If the power shuts off, everything is fine. If it does not, then make sure to call us to come and replace the outlet. You do not want to be left with a malfunctioning outlet if you need it. ### Landscape and Outdoor Lighting Installation Give your home some extra visual appeal by having Bonney design and install landscape and outdoor lighting. It will make your home look great, and there are so many options. The lighting can be used for being able to see during evening gatherings or to highlight a certain part of your property. It can also work as security, as a well-lit home will deter would-be thieves and vandals. Outdoor lighting does require some regular maintenance on your part, however. Make sure to keep the fixtures clear of leaves and branches, and replace burnt out bulbs promptly. ### Electrical Safety in Your Antelope Home We all want our electrical system to work perfectly at all times. However, it can absolutely be dangerous if you do not treat electricity with the respect it deserves. Here are some tips to avoid electrical disasters: - Don’t cover up extension cords with carpet. - Never use extension cords as a permanent solution - Replace cords immediately if you see any damage - Never use water to put out electrical fires, use fire extinguishers - Install tamper-proof receptacles to protect from shocks - Schedule annual electrical inspections - Unplug appliances that emit sparks Please follow the safety tips above that help keep everyone safe. ### Home LED Lighting LED lighting continues to gain popularity for residential use, and there are several good reasons for this. They use up less energy, so your energy budget will thank you. Not only that, but they can last around 20 years, so you don’t have to worry about replacing them any time soon. On top of that, they give off less heat, so they are less of a fire or injury hazard. All of these benefits, plus the gentler and more appealing glow that they provide. There is simply no good reason for you not to be considering a shift to LED lighting for your home. ### Surge Suppressors During lightning strikes, extra electricity can get into your home and overload your electric panel and your electronics. Overloading electronics can cause serious damage, and a power surge can even cause sparking in your system. Bonney can install a home surge protector to limit the amount of power that gets into your system and protects you from the effects of power surges. ### Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide Detectors Smoke detectors have been a long-time tool in helping to prevent harm from fires. They will alert you if they sense too much smoke or heat. Carbon monoxide detectors do the same thing for a gas that is colorless and odorless. There is no way to sense CO if you do not have a sensor. Install a smoke detector on each floor of your home, and a CO detector in any sleeping areas. To ensure they are in working order, test them every month. Not only that, but change out the batteries of your smoke detectors every 6 months, and replace your CO detectors every 10 years. ### Electric Panel Services Your electric panel provides the heartbeat for your entire electrical system. It distributes power throughout the building. However, older panels may have trouble meeting the demands of your household. They were constructed with the amp requirements for the lifestyles of that era, and not for today’s digital world. If you have flickering lights or a strange smell, then there is a good chance you have an issue with your electric panel. A Bonney expert can replace your panel and make sure that it has the capacity to meet your demands. ### Ceiling Fans Choosing a ceiling fan that meets your aesthetic and performance needs is the easy part. Installing it with the right clearances and electric connections the harder part. Of course, you can have a specialist from Bonney do that work for you. They will make sure that everything is installed safely, and that it meets all applicable codes. They will leave the right amount of clearance between the blades, the floor, the ceiling, and the walls, so you can rest your head knowing you are in good hands. ### Rewiring Rewiring a home is a complicated process, but it is a necessary one in several cases. If your wires start to fail, you could be in for some major electrical problems down the line. Do not wait until it is too late. If you see the signs that you need your home rewired, then call Bonney right away. The signs below will let you know your home needs some rewiring: - Circuit breakers regularly tripping - Aluminum wiring, which is a major fire risk - Any vibration, shock or buzz when turning on appliances - Dimming or flickering lights when using appliances such as a vacuum - Loose electrical outlets - A house that more than 40 years old - A burning smell coming from electrical outlets If you notice any of the above issues, or if you need assistance with any of the issues listed above, please call Bonney today. **Categories:** Electrical Location --- ### [Earn While You Learn](https://www.bonney.com/earn-while-you-learn/) **Published:** August 15, 2017 **Author:** Bonney Plumbing, Heating & Air **Content:** # Earn While You Learn Education is incredibly important, but college isn’t the only place to get an education.

It also offers tremendous benefits and career potential. [Show me some facts…](https://www.bonney.com/americas-skills-gap/) Becoming a plumber offers you amazing earnings potential. It also offers you the potential to carve your own career path with great opportunities for advancement for hard working individuals. Plumbing is one of the fastest growing jobs in the U.S. The Bureau of Labor Statistics show the plumbing field is expected to [grow 12% by 2024](https://www.bls.gov/careeroutlook/2016/interview/plumber.htm). That’s a higher than average growth for occupations. Plumbing also offers a secure job, as plumbing services will always be in demand. Homeowners will always need somebody to fix their leaks, drips, and clogs. Plumbers are also not at risk of losing their jobs to machines and plumbing can’t be outsourced overseas. The future is also bright for an HVAC technician. Job growth within the HVAC field is one of the greatest factors in deciding to move forward with a career as an HVAC technician. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the HVAC field will experience growth of 14%, which is much faster than the average for all occupations. This faster than average growth means HVAC techs will be in high demand which gives you more job security as well as a growing salary. One of Bonney’s first plumbers, Dwayne K. offers this advice, “You can get a degree, but, there’s so many people out there vying for the same degree that when we need people to come to our homes and fix things we can’t find them”. Dwayne added, “There’s real good money in plumbing and HVAC…real good money. If you plan right, you can retire before you get too old and live a good life. Also, if you have a plumbing or HVAC problem, you can fix it yourself…I never have to call anybody!” Learning how to install a water heater or an air conditioning unit can, and often does lead to a fulfilling career, balanced life, and better than average pay. Also, there’s simply no downside to learning a trade like plumbing or HVAC. You’ll also get to wear a cool toolbelt! --- ### [Plumbing & Drain FAQ](https://www.bonney.com/ask-the-brigade/plumbing-drain-faq/) **Published:** May 19, 2016 **Author:** bn_it_admin **Content:** # Residential Plumbing & Drain Cleaning FAQ A home plumbing & drain project can quickly turn into your worst nightmare, so get answers to common questions and learn when you should call in the professionals.

To keep your lights on and your appliances running at all times, trust Bonney Generac brand standby backup generators. Contact us for an estimate. No homeowner likes it when they lose power. That is why Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air offers generator installation. We care about our clients and what them to be as comfortable as possible at all times. Our team of expert technicians is fully licensed and have the skill and experience to provide you with the appropriate power backup options for your home or business. You can rest your head at night knowing that Bonney is on the job. Unfortunately, power outages in California have gotten more common seemingly every year. These outages can at times last for several hours, which can mean a huge disruption to your home and work lives. ### Impacts of Power Loss - No air conditioning - No heat - No water for those on properties with wells - Freezer food thaws - Refrigerator food spoils - No way to charge phones or devices - Computer systems shut down - TVs and game consoles don’t work - Appliances cannot be used ### What is a Standby Backup Generator A standby backup generator will kick in if you experience a loss of power that’s longer than a few seconds. It has a switch that will detect the power failure and automatically activate the generator. The electrical load is then transferred to the generator so that your home or business does not experience any downtime. The generator will function until the power utility is able to restore power to the home, business, or the area. These generators run on fuel such as propane or natural gas, so they are not subject to weather conditions, even though they are installed on the outside of the building. Unlike portable generators that have to be turned on manually, a backup generator will turn on by themselves. Not only that, but they test themselves on a regular basis as well to make sure they are ready for emergencies. There are even some products that you can operate from anywhere in the world using your smartphone, computer, or tablet. ### Backup Generator Maintenance and Repair Residents in Sacramento can trust the experts at Bonney Plumbing, Heating, and Air for all of their backup generator repair and maintenance needs.
