Turn on the Gas.

Well, before you do that you have to install the gas lines in your new Albuquerque home.  That is a project for a professional.  However, we want you to understand the process.  It is best to be informed as to how these new gas lines are being installed so that you have a better grasp of how your new home’s gas system is working.

Here are some of the steps toward installing a new gas line –

1.  Getting the right pipes and fittings for each unique job

2.  Extending the existing gas line by fitting the valves and pipe lengths

3.  Using the correct flexible pipe when connecting an appliance

4.  Spreading the proper mixture of water and dish liquid over each seam

These are some of the things that Eric Montoya of E M Plumbing will be doing.  Eric is a professional gas line installer of new homes in Albuquerque and the surrounding area.  Construction companies and home owners would do well getting to know Eric for all of their plumbing needs.  Give him a call at (505) 980-9334.

Water in…Water out.

It sounds simple, doesn’t it?  When you get right down to it, that is a description of plumbing in four words.  There are three major components in the plumbing system of a new home.  One is the water supply system.  Another is the drainage system (water out).  Then there are the appliances and fixtures themselves.

In Albuquerque, in order to install plumbing into a new home you need a licensed plumber.  Even if you wish to do some of the work yourself, that individual must oversee and approve the work.  Local codes determine standard plumbing procedures, but a new home’s fixture placement, pipe routing diagram and pipe size depends on the home’s individual layout.

There really is no need to call around for a licensed plumber to do the job.  In ABQ that man is Eric Montoya.  Eric has been this area’s new home and business construction plumbing installer for many years.  Remember, you need a pro on the job even if you are a DIY individual who would like to do some of the work themselves.  Call Eric at (505) 980-9334.

Installing a New Natural Gas Line.

This is NOT a DIY job.  Okay, do we understand each other?  I hope so!  I think most of us know that before we even begin this discussion.  Are you having a new stove installed or are you  replacing an old one?  Keep in mind that gas leaks are the most common cause of fire-related accidents.

First of all, the floor in front of the stove should be covered with cardboard.  Your home must already have its own natural gas line that has been installed by a licensed supplier.  The new gas range will be brought to the kitchen where it will be installed.  This is only the beginning of the project.

From here, holes need to be cut, and measurements need to be taken.  Think professional.  Think about someone who has done this over and over again for years.  Think about Eric Montoya.  Eric is Albuquerque’s natural gas line installation professional.  Anytime you need a pro call Eric Montoya at (505) 980-9334.

The Big Switch.

You know how it is in Albuquerque.  We seem to have two seasons.  There is winter, then suddenly summer hits full force and your home’s air conditioning system had better be ready.  When ABQ heats up, you will want to run your A/C consistently.  How do you know that it is ready for the challenge?

If you take a “wait and see attitude” you may be sorely disappointed and REALLY uncomfortable when you turn it on and crank it up.  Now you have downtime while the weather shows no mercy.  The compressor, the condenser, the evaporator, and the filter must ALL be ready to roll!

To ensure that, you need to call a professional who routinely makes the transition from heating to air conditioning and back again.  The right man for the job is Eric Montoya.  He is your Albuquerque air conditioning maintenance specialist.  Don’t wait another day!  Call Eric to have him come out to your home at (505) 980-9334.

Don’t Touch that Gas Line!

We hope that you know better.  That long tube is like a rattlesnake with an attitude.  It is not something that an untrained professional should ever mess with!  Take a gas leak in your home or business VERY seriously.  It is not only costly if you try to do it yourself, it is also potentially extremely dangerous.

So, what are the common issues with gas line repair?  In many cases water that has been dripping on pipes may have lead to corrosion.  Another surprisingly common problem in ABQ is that the pipes were installed improperly in the first place.  There is another typical problem that causes a gas leak…the thread sealant dries out.

The bottom line is that gas leaks at your home or office should be dealt with only by a licensed professional.  In our area that company is EM Plumbing Heating and Mechanical.  They are Albuquerque’s safe gas line repair expert.  From the first sight or smell go right to your phone and call EM at (505) 980-9334.

Red Tag…You’re It!

What is a Red Tag repair?  It sounds rather ominous, doesn’t it?  The truth is, it is serious and demands immediate attention.  When a red tag appears on a gas appliance it means that it is no longer safe to use.  At that point, you DO NOT mess with it yourself!  You either have it repaired or replace it.

If a licensed technician puts one of these on any piping system or appliance you need to take it very seriously.  In a smaller sense, it is like calling in the “bomb squad”.  If there is a carbon monoxide leak, it can accumulate in your blood stream putting everyone in your home at risk.  Is that enough for you to take action?

So, if you are given the “gift” of a red tag on one of your appliances here is the next step.  If you live in the ABQ area you pick up the phone and call Eric Montoya of E M Plumbing.  Eric is Albuquerque’s expert at red tag appliance and pipe repair.  Let a professional do the job.  Call him right away at (505) 980-9334.

Transition Time.

Don’t you love this time of year in Albuquerque?  Cooler spring temperatures give way to glorious long summer days.  Longer daylight means that your whole house air conditioning system needs to be ready for consistent temperatures up to 90 degrees and beyond.  Have you turned on you’re A/C yet?

This time of year, it is entirely possible that your air conditioning will be running at full capacity one day, then the next you find your family shivering in the morning.  At the very least a professional should check your air conditioning system to make sure that it is ready for the rigors of another New Mexico summer.

There are some basic maintenance check-list items that he will do.  What is important is to find someone who will NOT try to sell you a whole new A/C system if you don’t need it.  That is why you need to call Eric Montoya of EM Plumbing.  Eric is your ABQ expert at getting you ready for air conditioning season.  Give him a call today at (505) 980-9334.

Stay Cooler My Friends.

If you have lived in Albuquerque for more than one summer, you know what is about to come.  We are blessed with changes in the seasons and that’s a good thing.  However, when summer hits and the temperature reaches near 90 while the humidity may be 20% if you have a swamp cooler on top of your house you may wish you had taken action earlier.

A swamp cooler has its benefits - but in the hot, humid summers of ABQ it is no match for central air conditioning.  It simply is not fully equipped to blow air that is cool enough to bring comfort to your whole house.  Central air is the right call, not just for now, but for decades to come.  When you amortize the cost you will soon realize that it is well worth the initial investment.

Converting from the old, tired swamp cooler technology to glorious, comfortable central air conditioning may be just a few days away.  It all starts with one important phone call to the professionals at EM Plumbing.  They are Albuquerque’s expert in converting that old swamp cooler into central air.  Don’t waste another minute!  Call him today at (505) 980-9334.
