Summer officially arrived on June 21, triggering a surge in energy consumption as cooling units and irrigation systems run at full capacity. Bruce Brookins, marketing director for the Fort Worth-based firm, notes that many homeowners remain unaware of the strain placed on their home’s infrastructure until a total system breakdown occurs. Proactive care, he argues, is the most effective way to avoid emergency repairs and maintain energy efficiency.

To mitigate risk, the company recommends a systematic check of home utilities. For HVAC systems, this involves cleaning condenser coils, replacing air filters, and verifying thermostat accuracy. Plumbing maintenance should focus on inspecting outdoor faucets for leaks and ensuring sprinkler heads function correctly to prevent water waste. On the electrical front, testing GFCI outlets and avoiding circuit overloads are vital, especially when running multiple seasonal appliances simultaneously. Bacon Plumbing is currently offering targeted promotions, including discounted AC tune-ups and equipment trade-in allowances, to incentivize homeowners to address these maintenance needs before systemic issues escalate.
