What’s worse than a clogged or leaking toilet or sink? Having a landlord who won’t repair them! Through the years, many of our team members have been dispatched to homes and apartments where the resident complained of having to pay for plumbing repairs out of his or her own pocket because their landlord was non-responsive.
You might have been a little shocked to read this title. Most of the time, homeowners are thinking about preparing their plumbing for winter. There are many ways to fortify your plumbing against winter temperatures so that your pipes don’t freeze over and burst. One of the best things about living in Florida is that you never have to deal with worries like this. Instead, though, you should prepare your plumbing for the warm weather of spring and summer.
When we talk about preparing your plumbing for warm weather, we’re talking about considering things like natural gas to power your grill, a pool heater, and more. There are many things to consider so let’s talk plumbing in Orlando, FL below…
Here are a few things to consider when it comes to your plumbing when the weather starts to warm up:
We do gas appliance installation on our team and this is something we hear homeowners mention more often as the weather warms up. We’re lucky enough to have so many warm days in Florida. We know that you’re going to want to spend many of them soaking up the sun in the comfort of your backyard. There’s nothing better than having a great barbecue grill to add to the mix. We recommend natural gas barbecue grills because they’re efficient and they do a great job. If you’re looking for a team to install the piping, then we can help you with the process.
Who doesn’t love a late-night swim? The trouble with this is that even in warm Orlando weather, you might get a little cold. This is where a pool heater can come in handy. Since every single one of our team members is knowledgeable and experienced, we can help you choose between all the different models that are available on the market. Of course, we’re skilled installers as well. This means that after we help you find the pool heater, we can install it flawlessly. We care about the quality of your home in every aspect and we want to help you achieve success.
There’s nothing that makes a home easier to live in than having natural gas piping installed. If this is something you’ve considered recently, then we want to be here to help you achieve it.

Now that temperatures are starting to warm up and springtime is on the horizon, homeowners are starting to call us about air conditioning services. We’ve got a few months until things get hot, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with getting ready for these scorching hot temperatures early on in the year. For many people, that means organizing the installation or replacement of a new AC in Cedar Grove, NJ. If you’re just looking for the right team to get this job done, then you can stop right there and give us a call!
However, for anyone else that’s trying to learn about their AC installation or replacement this spring, we’ve got some news for you–the system needs to have a load calculation performed. An air conditioner that’s too small won’t be able to cool off your home, but an AC that’s too large will also lead to a few problems you’d probably rather avoid. Read on to learn more!
First off, we’ll tackle the more obvious problem. An air conditioner that’s too small for your home simply won’t have the power to cool off the entire house. Centralized air conditioning systems (as well as heat pump systems) are designed to cool an entire home. They’re not like window units that can be set up in strategic locations. If the central air conditioner is too small for your house, it simply won’t be able to meet your comfort demands and might overheat as it runs for too long and causes stress to build up in the system.
You might be thinking to yourself that a larger air conditioner isn’t ideal, but it’s not bad, right? Well, that’s not entirely true.
An AC that’s too large will fail to properly cool your home off in a normal cycle, which leads to a problem we call “short cycling,” that we’ll talk about below. Basically, an AC that’s too large will run your energy bill up, need to be replaced early, and might even need constant repairs.
Does your AC run in short, frequent bursts? This isn’t normal, and it’s actually causing extensive wear and tear on certain components of the system. The start-up process is actually the most energy-intensive process that your air conditioner performs, so shorter cycles are going to cause your system to overwork.
An AC that’s too large will cool your home too quickly and abruptly shut down, causing only the start-up components to get worn down and require replacement too early.
The only surefire way to avoid these kinds of problems from happening to your air conditioner is through professional air conditioning installation. Our team has specific high-tech equipment that can measure the air in your home so that we accurately set you up with the right-sized AC unit. This is an expensive problem to avoid, so make sure you do everything you can to stop your AC from being the victim of a botched installation!
Contact MarGo Plumbing Heating Cooling Inc. for comprehensive central AC installation this spring!

Copper piping has been a popular choice for homes and commercial buildings since the 1960s. While it does have its advantages, copper piping plumbing also has a fair number of disadvantages – especially if it begins to corrode, as was the case in Folsom, CA in 2020 (more on this later). In this blog, we’ll discuss the good and the bad when it comes to copper piping, and what to look for if you suspect a problem with your copper piping. Read More

While our attention might be on our heating systems at the end of this cold season, we can’t forget the valuable task that our thermostats perform. They’re the link between the HVAC system and our own comfort preferences, and the better your thermostat works, the better your heating system will work overall. So, it’s only necessary that we spend a little bit of time here and there to talk to our customers about thermostats!
Look, you might just need simple furnace repair in Montclair, NJ and in that case our team can gladly help. But this blog is devoted to the situations where you’re not entirely sure as to whether your home will require thermostat work or furnace repairs. We can help you get to the bottom of it!
Each of these points will talk about the connection between you and your heating system, and how a broken or old thermostat might be hindering that connection.
How does it feel when you adjust the temperature at your house? Are you constantly fighting against some invisible ebb and flow that doesn’t let you set the temperature correctly? Do you set it 5 degrees higher every time because it’s the only way you’ll be able to feel the difference?
Well, this could be a problem with your furnace system or it could be an issue with your thermostat. Thermostat repairs are actually a lot more affordable and fast than furnace repairs, so why not get your thermostat checked on first to narrow down the area of problems.
A faulty thermostat is going to have trouble controlling the temperature in your home. Seeing how this is the main objective of this piece of equipment, this is a major problem. When you call our team, make sure to tell us about your thermostat being unable to control the temperature correctly. It could be a calibration problem or a symptom of a different problem!
When you set your thermostat higher to feel results, it might sound like a workaround for your heating system, but you might actually be running your HVAC system incorrectly. Even a furnace that’s working slightly harder to meet temperature demands because of a faulty thermostat will burn more fuel and run less efficiently than one with a thermostat in shape.
Sometimes switches on a thermostat can get stuck and you might feel the results. For instance, the “auto” switch might actually get pushed to “heat” and your HVAC system will get stuck on. This could lead to some severe temperature fluctuations that you were no prepared for.
Do yourself a favor and get your switches checked on by a professional so you’re not in danger of an issue developing.
Do you still utilize an analog thermostat? If yes, then you should definitely get it replaced! Analog thermostats haven’t been manufactured for decades and they’re all leading to problems associated with the old age of equipment. Touch screen, smart, and Wi-Fi enabled thermostats are easy to install and more affordable than ever. It’s time to upgrade!
Call MarGo Plumbing Heating Cooling Inc. to have your furnace or thermostat fixed by professionals.

It’s that time of year when we start thinking about spring, the start of the baseball season and doing our spring cleaning. Now we can also add another task to that list: checking the air conditioning in our homes to make sure they’re ready to keep us cool when the temperatures begin to rise.
This is especially important if you live in an area like Arizona, where the weather is so hot and dry that your air conditioner runs almost all year long. If you’re looking for information about air conditioning maintenance, here’s what you need to know.
Temperatures in Arizona can range from as low as 40°F during December to as high as 104°F during July. Extreme heat can cause air conditioners and heat pumps to work harder than in other parts of the country.
This leads to shortened system life, higher energy bills, breakdowns that leave you without an efficient heating system, and invalid warranties. Prevent these issues by setting up maintenance today. You’ll save money down the road!
An HVAC unit is one of those projects that require more care and attention than most because it provides so much value and impact on your comfort. A professional tune-up should give peace of mind rather than stress over late detection. Here are the benefits of regular AC tune-up:
Air conditioners are pretty heavy-duty; built to last a long time, but that doesn’t mean you should ignore yours. By regularly changing filters and cleaning out debris, you can ensure your air conditioner is running well for years down the road.
And if it does end up having problems, early detection is critical. In some cases, a tune-up can help alleviate issues before they become big problems.
A regularly maintained AC system works effectively and you’ll rarely need to have it repaired. It may go a year or so without the need of repairing or replacing anything.
There’s always a tradeoff between saving money and convenience, but when it comes to your air conditioner, there’s no reason to have a choice. Regular tune-ups will help you take advantage of everything your system can do—including higher levels of energy efficiency that may not be possible without them.
When you buy a new air conditioner, there’s likely a manufacturer’s warranty that covers parts and labor in case something goes wrong down the road. While most warranties are relatively easy to keep on track, one of the best ways to stay in good standing is routine maintenance with an contractor.
Sometimes, even when we’re paying attention, things can still go wrong without us knowing it. That’s why routine maintenance is vital. It helps ensure your air conditioner stays in good shape and that you’ll be able to get out of a problem quickly when it happens—and for less money than you might expect.
It’s always a good idea to have a professional check and maintain your AC unit. If you don’t have your AC system looked over every now and then, especially in March when the temperatures are extreme, you could risk significant problems down the road.
