Even minor, slow-moving water leaks can result in sizable destruction and set you back a quite a lot on your water payments. Choosing a professional plumber when we have water streaming all over the washroom floor is essential for every homeowners. Here are 5 Tips to retaining a highly skilled <strong>Oceanside Plumber</strong>.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Ask your neighbors and friends for advice.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Frequently this is the optimum route to find a plumber, as most people have some viewpoint and is usually eager to help. <strong>Oceanside Plumbers </strong>who have done an excellent piece of work for your neighbors will do an outstanding piece of work for you. Do not forget to check out fee and cleanliness. If you do not receive any <strong>Oceanside Plumber</strong> work references, ask who never to use and why. This could help to narrow down your search. Once you get in touch with the highly recommended <strong>Oceanside Plumber</strong>, be sure to let them know who endorsed them. It&#8217;s a wonderful feeling to know you&#8217;ve done such a great job your valued clients have recommended you.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Ask for their license number.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDJ6sN0cr9M">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDJ6sN0cr9M</a></p>
<p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Oceanside Plumbers</strong> contend with health and safety issues, like sewage and natural gas. Plumbers have years of proper training that they&#8217;ll go through to find out the way to fix and install plumbing fixtures, plumbing and sewer pipes to search out water leaks. After these years of education and learning, they can be licensed to work with your Oceanside home or office. If your <strong>Oceanside Plumber</strong> has a license, there is no doubt that they have passed the California State Plumbing Contractors License exam; carry workman&#8217;s compensation insurance for their employees in the event of a personal injury; are bonded to protect against theft and have liability insurance if there is difficulty with your home.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Here&#8217;s a link to the <a href="https://www2.cslb.ca.gov/OnlineServices/CheckLicenseII/checklicense.aspx">California State Contractors License Board</a> to confirm the license.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Ask for their insurance.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">If the <strong>Oceanside Plumber</strong> you&#8217;re considering hiring to accomplish your repairs is licensed, you are able to find that their liability insurance is current on the CA State Contractors website. If their insurance or workman&#8217;s comp insurance isn&#8217;t up to date, you may be liable should they damage the home or the <strong>Oceanside Plumber</strong> gets hurt or injure at your home while they are working. You ought to ensure they have got no less than $500,000 in liability insurance if one thing goes wrong with all the repair.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Ask for references.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">A reputable <strong>Oceanside Plumber</strong> will have happy accounts which will be very happy to talk with you and talk about their experiences.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Ask for a written quote prior to the work starts.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Make sure that the written quote contains an estimation for the numbers of labor hours needed to complete the repair job. Keep a mental tally of the time the plumber works on your project. You should include in the tally time spent buying the replacement parts needed and driving to and from your project.</span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Ask if the Oceanside Plumber makes you pay extra for overtime for after hours or weekend repairs.</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">Not all <strong>Oceanside Plumbers</strong> charge those crazy fees.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: large;">John Stevenson Plumbing is a local family owned and operated Oceanside plumbing company. We are licensed and bonded in the State of California. We never charge extra for overtime or after hour repairs. Read our reviews on Yelp and we have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><span style="font-size: medium;">Chances are that at some point are going in your life you&#8217;ll need to consider the question, &#8220;Should I repair my heater and air conditioner or replace it. There are several factors to take into account.</span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">Your homes heating load.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">The condition and age of your current heating and air conditioning system.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: medium;">The energy efficiency of your current heating and air conditioning system.</span></li>
</ol>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">Let&#8217;s begin with the heating load. If your heater and air conditioner isn&#8217;t the correct size for your home, you may be spending more on utility bills than you need to and you may not be a comfortable as you should be. Have you remodeled your home and added on additional square feet? </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Then the unit may not be sufficiently and economically heating and cooling your home. Most remodels may extend the existing ducting system, which may not be the best way to warm and cool your home.</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">Hot air always seeks cooler air. In the wintertime, when you fill your home with warm air, it tries to escape through doors and windows, to the cooler air outside. In the summer, the warm outside air tries to come in to your air conditioned home through the windows and doors. The purpose of measuring the heat load is to determine the exact size of the equipment Â required by your home.</span></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">The rate of heat transfer is the movement of air going from warm to cool. We can determine the amount of BTU loss or gain by considering specific conditions and measuring them. We know that it takes an equal amount of BTU&#8217;s to replace the lost BTU&#8217;s. Once we have the measurements, we can recommend the size of equipment that will cool and heat your home perfectly. Or we will know that your heater/airconditioner is the correct size for your home, is energy efficient and will recommend that you repair it.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">Your heating and air conditioning system maybe 10 or 15 years old, but it still maybe time to replace it.Â </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Technology is advancing at a rapid rate. Your system may have out dated features and Â systems. Newer systems have a distinctive energy advantage. Your system may be well maintained, and you may still have problems. It&#8217;s common for furnace heatÂ exchangerÂ to crack over time. If this happens you make have deadly carbon monoxide leaking into your home.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: medium;">How energy efficient is your current unit?Â </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Will utility rates continue rising in your area? Installing a new heating and air conditioning system may be, in the long run, a money saver. There maybe some rebates or tax credits that will reduce the cost of a new system.</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Need an energy analysis on your current system vs the energy usage of a new system? Please give us a call at (760) 452-0702.Â </span></div>

<p>A reputable <strong>Carlsbad Plumber</strong> will have satisfied clients that will be happy to talk with you and share their experience.</p>
<p><em><strong>Ask for a written quote before the work starts.</strong></em></p>
<p>Make sure the written quote contains an estimate of the number of labor hours needed to complete the repair job. Keep a mental tally of the time the plumber works on your project. Remember to include the time spent purchasing replacement part and traveling to and from the job site.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Why do you need a whole house water filtration system? Because you care about your health and your family's health.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most Americans agree that our water quality is poor at best. In San Diego, our water travels miles and miles to reach us. By the time it gets here, who knows what has gotten into it, dirt, debris, agricultural run off with pesticides &amp; fertilizers, human &amp; animal waste and various other cleaning &amp; manufacturing chemicals. Once it arrives our water goes to a water treatment plant where it&#8217;s filtered and treated.  Even after being treated, the water comes through our tap still loaded with Chloramines and Chlorine. Chloramines are formed when ammonia is added to chlorine to purify the water. I learned in my high school chemistry class that when one combines ammonia with chlorine bleachÂ  they make a deadly, chlorine gas. This gas is so toxic that it was used in WWI and WWII.</p>
<p><a href="http://sandiegoplumbing.wp4b.com/files/2011/07/whole-house-water-filter-oceanside-plumber-john-stevenson-2.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-530" src="http://sandiegoplumbing.wp4b.com/files/2011/07/whole-house-water-filter-oceanside-plumber-john-stevenson-2.jpg" alt="whole-house-water-filter-oceanside-plumber-john-stevenson-2" width="300" height="300" /></a>Why do we have these chemicals in our water?Â  Can they harm us? Chloramines are used as a secondary disinfectant, which means they provide a longer lasting water treatment. The EPA says that Chloramines are safe for use and are closely regulated.Â  But Chloramines have been linked to an increase in the incidence of cancer, especially bladder cancer. Chlorine isÂ  the same chemicalÂ  we use in our pools. Just like in pool water, chlorine can dry out skin and hair and cause rashes and skin irritation.</p>
<p>So what can we do to keep these toxic chemicals out of our bodies?Â  Install a <em>Pro Systems whole house water filtration</em> unit. These <strong>whole house water filters</strong> are installed between the main water line and the incoming water pipes. A granulated activated carbon filter is used to reduce and/or remove chlorine and chloramine from the incoming water.  When your unfiltered tap water is heated, like in your dish washer, washing machine or shower, the water gives off chlorine vapors. Breathing these vapors has been linked to asthma like symptoms. Once your water has gone through a <strong>whole house water filter</strong> the chlorine isÂ  reduced or removed altogether. Your water won&#8217;t give off the vapors and the chlorine smell of the water is reduced.</p>
<p>When you install a <strong>Pro Systems Whole House Water Filter</strong> clean, safe water will come from every tap and plumbing fixture in your house. So showers and baths will be chemical free,Â  and your skin andÂ  hair won&#8217;t dry out. Your clothes will have no chemical residue left from the water. They&#8217;ll last longer, and colors will stay brighter. Your dishes will be soap scum free. Your plumbing lines, faucets, fixtures, and appliances that use water will last longer and require fewer repairs.Â  This is because the harsh chemicals that cause corrosion and build up have been reduced.</p>
<p>If, for some reason, the municipal water treatment system broke down or wasn&#8217;t filtering efficiently. A <strong>whole house water filter</strong> would be the only way to clean your water effectively and keep your family from drinking toxic water.  To find out more about how <strong>whole house water filters</strong> work and about <em>Pro Systems whole house water filtration</em> units call Oceanside Plumber, John Stevenson Plumbing at (760) 452-0702.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://sandiegoplumbing.wp4b.com/files/2011/07/whole-house-water-filter-oceanside-plumber-john-stevenson.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-519 alignright" style="margin: 5px" src="http://sandiegoplumbing.wp4b.com/files/2011/07/whole-house-water-filter-oceanside-plumber-john-stevenson-190x300.jpg" alt="whole-house-water-filter-oceanside-plumber-john-stevenson" width="190" height="300" /></a>There is a growing concern about the quality of the water we use in our homes. In San Diego, our tap water comes from Northern California and the Colorado River. The water has to travel hundreds of miles before it reaches our local water treatment plants. On it&#8217;s way here, our water picks up dirt, agricultural run off which may contain pesticides, animal &amp; human waste and byproducts like bacteria &amp; viruses, minerals and radioactive contaminants. Our water sources are open, and anything can fall into them, that&#8217;s why once our water gets here it goes to a water treatment plant.</p>
<p>The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Department of Public Health have established guidelines to limit the total amount of contaminants found in our drinking water. The government says that our drinking water is safe to drink right from the tap, but 84% of American homes say differently and won&#8217;t drink tap water. So what do these households do for clean water? Only 7% of US households use a <em>water filter</em> in their home.</p>
<p>So what are the other 93% using? Expensive and heavy bottled water. Bottle water can only be used for drinking and cooking. What about bathing and washing your clothes?</p>
<p>Your skin is  an organ and has the ability to absorb small molecules. That&#8217;s why nicotine and birth control patches work. The small amount of contaminates in  our tap water, like chlorine, may, over time, be absorbed through the skin. To eliminate these chemicals and reduce the impact they have on our bodies and health, you may want to look at having a <strong>whole house water filter </strong>installed in your home.</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll see an immediate difference in your  water from your <strong>whole house water filter</strong>. Because it&#8217;s filtering out the contaminants and chemicals that dry and damage, your hair and skin will be soft and moist. You&#8217;ll find yourself using less moisturizer and conditioner, and you&#8217;ll save money. Your skin won&#8217;t break out due to allergic reactions to the horrible water quality.</p>
<p>Your clothes will be softer, and you&#8217;ll use less fabric softener. Due to the fact that you&#8217;re not chemically processing your clothes every time you wash them, they may last longer. Your dishes will be chemical free and soap scum will be reduced. Your food will taste better without the added chemicals.</p>
