The first taste of hot weather is finally arrived here in the greater Providence area. It’s what we’ve all been waiting for, right?
That’s a huge “thumbs up” if your central AC system is in top working order. And a “Well, yeah, I guess so…” if it isn’t.
Here’s the thing. A lot of home owners are reluctant to call a professional AC contractor if their system is under-performing for fear that a big, expensive repair might be in order. The fact is, however, that your system might simply need a very affordable tune-up and inspection (including a replacement filter) to get it back running like its old self: or at least close to it.
Here’s another thing. Without annual system maintenance, your system is going to downhill a lot longer than it otherwise needs to. As it is, the average lifespan of a central air conditioning system is 10 – 15 years. With regular tune-ups and inspection, yours can effectively run and operate even longer.
In addition to a longer system lifespan, annual AC tune-ups deliver these important benefits:
- Lower incidence of repair
- Less costly repairs
- Reduced risk of complete system failure: these are 35% more likely when the system is not regularly maintained
- Cleaner indoor air
- Safer operation as regular maintenance can detect faulty electrical wiring and refrigerant leaks
- Quieter operation, too
At Almeida Plumbing, Heating & Air, we want you and your family to make the most of your Rhode Island summer. So why contact us today to schedule our multi-point air conditioning tune-up and inspection. It’s your best bet for a long, cool summer.

What’s the first thing that comes to mind when you see a Cranston or Pawtucket plumber’s truck in your neighbor’s driveway? “Glad it’s not me!” Especially if the plumber has been called to fix a big problem.
The point is, sooner or later that neighbor will be you. Statistically, home owners need professional plumbing assistance every 3 years, and the top 3 plumbing needs are drain cleaning, toilet repair or replacement, and issues with your hot water supply.
If your time is now to look for professional plumbing assistance, here’s a quick guide on how to choose someone you’d be likely to contact again and even refer to friends and neighbors:
- Certified technicians. Technicians that are nationally certified bring with them a
built-in advantage compared to other local plumbers. The professional organizations that provide the training and offer these certificates produce knowledgeable professionals that perform quality work. - Guaranteed upfront pricing. When your plumber reports for duty, you shouldn’t be sweating over what the final bill will be. That’s why the right plumber will provide you with a guaranteed price quote before the work begins. And that’s it. No hidden fees or changing things up.
- Solutions for every budget. One size does not fit all, and prices are the same way. The plumber you choose should work with you to develop plumbing solutions that fit your home and your budget.
- 24/7 service available. Plumbing emergencies never happen at a convenient time and the right plumber knows that. Having service available around the clock is necessary to help you in a timely fashion and prevent severe damage to your home.
- Quality customer service. From your first phone call or email, to the technician in your home, to the follow-up call, the plumber you choose should be concerned with professionalism and your ultimate satisfaction.
At Almeida Plumbing, Heating & Air, we meet all of the above criteria, and then some. We’re not only concerned about your satisfaction, we guarantee it. Plus we’re master plumbers that have reached the pinnacle – by industry standards – of knowledge and excellence. If the today’s the day for you contact a plumber, give us a try. And then sit back and watch how we exceed your expectations.
