Monarque Plumbing & Heating: Qualified HVAC Services Serving Pompton Lakes, NJ 07442

While a plumbing inspection primarily checks your pipes and water system, our comprehensive home assessments at Monarque often reveal related issues. For instance, we check for proper drainage around your outdoor AC unit. Poor grading or a leaking gutter can cause standing water and excess moisture, which accelerates the corrosion of the condenser coil—a common problem in our area. Identifying and fixing these drainage issues during an inspection can significantly extend the life of your HVAC system.

It's possible. During a plumbing inspection, we check for hidden leaks and excess humidity within walls or crawl spaces. Moisture from a slow pipe leak can travel and affect nearby electrical components, including the wiring behind your thermostat, leading to erratic behavior or failure. Our inspection helps rule out environmental causes, ensuring your thermostat issue is accurately diagnosed, whether it's a simple wiring problem or related to household moisture we can fix.

As your local HVAC experts, we recommend a simple visual check every few months. Look for signs of corrosion (rust or greenish deposits) on the metal fins of the condenser coil, especially near the base. Ensure the area is clear of leaves, grass clippings, and debris, and check that the unit is level on its pad. If you notice any corrosion or pooling water, it's best to call Monarque for a professional assessment. Catching corrosion early during our scheduled maintenance can prevent costly compressor failures.
