Too much humidity can create an internal environment in your Westfield home that harmful bacteria and mold love. In that case, you need a dehumidifier.

But too little humidity is bad too. It can create electrical problems-which can cost you more money on your utility bills. It can also give you and your family members chapped lips, sore throats, increased allergic reactions, and dry or itchy skin. In addition, the lower temperatures of winter can also feel even colder if the air in your Westfield home is too dry.

If you’re experiencing these problems, the solution could be a whole home humidifier, from Weltman!

Our New Jersey customers have found whole house humidifiers to be the best solution for dry air and all the problems that come with it! We can use a hygrometer to measure the relative humidity inside your Westfield home, and then install an affordable home humidifying system that will solve your humidity problems.

Here are some of the problems you might experience with your Westfield home’s garbage disposal, with a breakdown on the problems you can probably fix, and the ones for which you will need help from an expert plumber.

Important note: if you try to fix your garbage disposal yourself,

Never stick your hand into the unit!

Turn the power supply off!

Jamming. Shut off the power. Use a broom handle to shove the flywheel back and forth, to release the jammed material caught between the blades. Lift out the offending object with tongs. Don’t use your hand (We can’t stress that enough!)! As always, when you try home repairs, you risk doing more damage to your plumbing fixtures and installations. If you can’t unjam it, give our technicians a call.

Leaking, caused by loose screws and damaged or eroded gaskets. In most cases tightening these screws, replacing accessible gaskets or applying a sealant will stop a leak. However, if this doesn’t work, there might be a hole in the unit housing. Call a Weltman technician: The whole unit must be replaced immediately.

Noise: could be from the presence of hard foreign objects, (see “jamming” above”) or loose screws (see “leaking,” above.) Or it could be a broken flywheel or a faulty motor, which requires a new unit and a technician.

The unit will simply not run. Check

• For a jam (see “jamming,” above)
• The power supply: an overloaded surge protector might have been tripped. In which case, all you need do is reset it.
• The switch and the wiring from the switch to the disposal might be faulty.
• If none of the above checks out, a faulty motor, may be the culprit, and you need to replace the unit, and that requires the help of an experienced Weltman technician.

Poor Drainage. If you tried to stuff too much garbage too fast down your disposal, it may have clogged your drainpipe. Use tongs to remove garbage from the mouth of the pipe, and then run cold water on full to clear the clog. If this does not work, you may need a plumber to snake out the drain.  The problem may also be caused by a dull shredder blade, or damaged flywheel, which will require a technician.

If you are struggling with your kitchen garbage disposal call the Northern and Central New Jersey Plumbers to fix it in one visit! Call us today at (888) 429-1163

The Northern New Jersey area may have a temperate climate, but homeowners in Westfield, Maplewood, Berkeley Heights, and Basking Ridge still have utility bills to pay in summer and winter. It’s far less costly to move heat than to produce it. Instead of using up energy to heat your home, a heat pump simply moves heat around. This makes your home’s heating and cooling systems much more energy efficient.

In the summer, a heat pump based air-conditioning system takes the heat from the inside air and expels it to the outside. It passes the inside air through the compressor to cool it.

In the winter, the process is reversed. The pump draws the heat from the air outside, into your home.

You can also get a hybrid heat pump that increases efficiency. A hybrid unit works with a backup system that usually depends on gas as a fuel. The backup system will kick in when the air is too hot or cold for the heat pump to efficiently go it alone.

Give us a call at 888-903-9918 for a consultation on the benefits of a heat pump system for your Northern New Jersey home.

When too much electrical current flows through your wiring, circuit breakers will cut off the power until the problem can be fixed. Otherwise, there is a great danger of fire, which could threaten the lives of you and your family. Short of this disaster, power surges could damage the electrical equipment in your Westfield home.

If you’ve just moved into an older home, or you haven’t upgraded your electrical panel (where the circuit breakers are) for several years, it is probably time to get your circuit breakers inspected, and new ones installed. Your circuit breakers may have worn out over the years. In addition, the kind of appliances we use nowadays—computers, washing machines, refrigerators—soak up more electrical juice than decades ago. This may be more electrical current than your electrical panel was designed to handle.

Give us a call today to give your circuit breakers a thorough inspection and upgrade. From Westfield, to Maplewood, Berkeley Heights, and Basking Ridge, we are here to serve you and protect your family. at 888-903-9918.

Your Westfield home has a heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system, and HVAC relies upon air ducts. They transport air from heating and cooling units to locations throughout the home. Ducts also bring fresh air in from outdoors. And they remove stale air from each room.

Over time, these systems build up dust, mold or other contaminants. If you and other members of your Westfield family find yourself sneezing and coughing a lot, this might indicate a serious problem with your air ducts. But it’s not easy for the average Westfield resident to detect it. There are many sections of your cooling system that are not accessible for visual inspection. By having your air ducts professionally inspected and cleaned, you can improve the indoor air quality in your home, and also make your HVAC system more efficient.

To keep your family healthy and the HVAC system in your Westfield home running smoothly, why not call in in our expert inspection team at Weltman’s?

Give us a call today to be sure your ducts are cleaned and inspected, at 888-903-9918.

The second, and most obvious advice we give is to have your filter changed. A regularly changed filter allows your system to exert less energy and save you money. Another great way to save is to turn the temperature up on your air conditioner. Even if you turn it up only when you are not home or perhaps at night, this will conserve energy and still keep you nice and cool.

If your home is warmer your air conditioner has to work harder to keep it cool. One way to help this is by using CFL bulbs, as they produce less heat than their incandescent counterparts. You can also apply window tints to your home’s windows in order to keep out more light and not inhibit your ability to see out of them. Your oven generates plenty of heat, if you try to use it less in the summer your A/C unit won’t need to work to counteract its heat. Another great idea is to make sure your attic is properly insulated. Weltman provides excellent attic and ductwork repairs and installations to our valued Maplewood customers year round. We can help make your home more efficient!

Try some of these helpful tips, and make sure to call Weltman for an A/C tune-up, and you are on your way to a cool summer with more money in your pocket!

Geothermal heat pump installation requires a heating specialist to dig several feet into the ground to source heat. The geothermal heat pump pulls warmth out of the ground temperature in winter, and in summer in replaces that heat into the ground rather than keeping it in your home. While a geothermal heat pump is a resource-efficient heating system option, it does require space to setup and it is an investment.

When you contact us, we can help you determine if a geothermal heat pump would actually be your best bet in terms of your heating costs, your usage, your property size, and the desired timeframe for your return on investment. Geothermal heat pump installation is a hefty process that requires ample planning and consideration before embarking upon it.

UV light installation is a Summit lighting installation procedure that our Summit electricians and Summit electrical contractors are proud to provide. The difference between moldy air ducts that push moldy air into your home and clean air ducts that circulate healthy, filtered air is as simple as an ultraviolet light.

UV light installation is a quick process that a Summit electrician or Summit electrical contractor can gladly conduct at a time that works for you. Once the UV lights have been installed in your air duct, they will work to purify the air that runs through your ducts and to reduce the biological factors that compromise air quality.

Once a Summit electrician installs a UV light in your ductwork, the lighting requires very little maintenance. Most UV lights that are intended for installation in an air duct only need to be replaced once a year. Easy installation and maintenance makes UV light installation a smart and simple indoor air quality improvement. To learn more about Summit indoor air quality improvement procedures, please call Weltman Home Services.
