Do I Need an Earthquake Valve?Depending on where you live, you may be required to have an earthquake valve in place by law. However, even if it is not legally required, putting in an earthquake valve is still a good idea if you live in areas prone to this type of seismic activity. Home Squad Home Services and Repair has been installing these devices for our customers all around the Bothell, WA area for years. We would be happy to discuss your individual situation with you and help you determine whether or not an earthquake valve is a reasonable precaution for you to take.

What Are Earthquake Valves?Earthquake valves automatically shut off the gas supply to your home in the event that major seismic activity is detected in the area. When motion of a certain magnitude is present underground, a mechanism in the valve will be triggered and cut off all gas flow to your home. The action of an earthquake can cause damage to gas lines and pipes. Cutting off the gas can help prevent any fires or explosions caused by those damages, potentially saving your home. These fires and explosions are often more damaging than the actual earthquake.

When is a Ductless Mini Split System a Better Choice?
You’ve probably heard of a ductless mini split system but aren’t sure if one of these systems is right for your home. Well, sometimes these are actually the better choice and here’s why.
The mini split system provides more flexible solutions as opposed to the standard HVAC. Heat pumps and central air systems force cold and hot air through ducts while mini split systems deliver air directly into the desired room, which makes it easier to get the precise temperature and requires less energy.
Because ductless mini split systems don’t lose energy through improperly sealed ductwork, they operate more efficiently, which saves you money. Also, as mentioned, these units require less power to do the same job that an HVAC system does, which also increases your energy savings.
Since HVAC systems and heat pumps force air through ductwork, it’s not uncommon for people to experience poor indoor air quality if the ductwork gets dirty. With a mini split system, you get the option of multi-stage filtration that drastically reduces the amount of allergens, particles, and dust that goes out into your home.
Finally, if your home doesn’t have ductwork, or you’re living in an apartment, a ductless mini split system is easier and cheaper to install since you don’t have to worry about cutting holes for ducts.

What Should I Check Before Calling an HVAC Contractor?
The warm summer nights here in Washington mean that residents’ air conditioners are working overtime to keep everyone cool and comfortable, and it’s bound to happen that some systems can’t handle the load and break down. If your system isn’t putting out the cold air you desire, or if it’s not firing up at all, here are a few troubleshooting tips to check before you call an AC contractor.
If the air isn’t as cold as you desire, check that the air filter is clean and make sure there aren’t any obstructions near the outside compressor. Also, check for moisture as it may be a refrigerant leak.
If the air isn’t blowing, check the thermostat and make sure it’s set a few degrees lower than the room temperature. Also, make sure the thermostat is set to ‘cooling mode’. Check to see if any circuit breakers have been tripped, and of course, make sure the air filter is clean.
If you experience frequent on/off cycling or a system that won’t shut off, check and make sure an air register isn’t blowing directly on the thermostat, which can cause it to malfunction. Also check your refrigerant levels, and the air filter.
If you notice ice on the system, it could be that dirty air filter that’s to blame, or check to see if the coils are dirty. Also inspect the vents for obstructions.

How to Maintain Your Heater
Like any machine, keeping your heater well-maintained is essential to its efficient operation and longevity. Many people experience heater problems and failure once winter sets in because they ignored them all spring and summer. Check out these tips to ensure your heater is ready to perform when called on this winter.
- GET A TUNE-UP - Once fall arrives, it’s highly recommended that you have a professional contractor come in to inspect and tune-up your heater. A proper tune-up allows you to find and fix little problems before they develop into expensive repairs down the road. Tune-ups also ensure your system is functioning correctly so you and your family will be comfortable come winter.
- CLEAN THE SYSTEM - To extend your heater’s lifespan and keep it in top running condition, clean out the dust and dirt from the unit's inside. Ensure you clean the dirt and dust off the blower fan's blades and clean out the combustion and blower fan chambers.
- CHECK FOR CORROSION - If you use a gas furnace, it’s crucial to inspect the combustion chamber for rust, corrosion, or holes. Also, consider installing a carbon monoxide detector in your home to monitor for excess carbon monoxide in the home, which could be caused by a leak or crack in the combustion chamber.
- CHANGE THE FILTER - The easiest thing you can do to ensure your heater or furnace runs smoothly is to change the filter every 1 to 3 months. A dirty air filter makes the system work harder, which impedes performance and reduces its lifespan.

Frequently Asked Heating Replacement Questions
How Do I Choose the Right Heating System For My Home?
You should choose the right heating system for your home by considering your climate, heating needs, and budget.
In cold climates like ours and especially if you have a large home, you will probably need a furnace to provide high-quality heating.
A gas or electric heat pump is a good option because it can both cool and heat your home. However, many heat pumps are not very powerful heaters, so you might not be satisfied with their heating capabilities. On the other hand, there are several newer models that give furnaces a run for their money.
You’re probably also wondering about how your budget factors in. Natural gas furnaces, while providing powerful heat, are the most expensive heating systems to run, while heat pumps are normally the most efficient.
How Do I Find the Most Efficient Heating System?
If you’re looking for efficient heating (and cooling) overall, you’re probably looking for a heat pump. If you’re looking for the most efficient type of furnace or heat pump, pay attention to the heating efficiency ratings.
Furnace efficiency ratings are called AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). Heat pumps have two efficiency ratings, one for heating and one for cooling. The heating rating is called HPSF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) and the cooling rating is called SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating), which is the same as an air conditioner’s
