Reasons To Choose R.F. Ohl For Your Plumbing Needs:
How Much Water Is Wasted Due To A Leaky Faucet?
A Leaky Faucet Wastes Water...
Approximately 15,140 drips make up 1 gallon of water. Therefore, to calculate how much water a leaky faucet wastes, simply count the number of drips your faucet has in one minute.
Then multiply that number times 525,600. This gives you the number of drips in a year.
Then take that number and divide it by 15,140.
The resulting number is how many gallons your leaky faucet wastes in one year.
So, if you have a leaky faucet that drips approximately 30 times in a minute, your faucet wastes 1,041 gallons of water in one year!

I was a little concerned that they would be able to feed scope from side all the way 65 feet long to other end. When I asked if they were able to guide scope all the way through they said they did , and the fiber duct work looked good. I would certainly expect if they weren’t able too thoroughly inspect fiber duct board because of circumstances they would let me know. However I trust Patrick and Jason judgment.
Great Service!

Joseph was friendly and answered all of my questions! He is providing us with a few quotes to show pricing for different options we discussed and extra small things we also need fixed aside from the reason we initially called them out for. It also was a quick visit which was convenient for my schedule! (Rated 3 stars for pricing just because I haven't seen the quotes yet and am not familiar with pricing in this area elsewhere)

Upon inspection of the Lennox mini-split system, an error code P6 was detected, signaling a potential issue. Upon further investigation, it was determined that the system was low on refrigerant, which typically indicates a leak. To prevent further damage and ensure the system's efficiency, the unit was promptly shut off. A comprehensive evaluation was conducted to confirm the refrigerant level and the presence of a leak. The system will remain off until a scheduled return visit to perform a detailed leak search and necessary repairs. This proactive approach ensures the system's longevity and optimal performance.

A Lennox mini split system was displaying a P6 error code, indicating a potential issue with the system's pressure sensor. I began by inspecting the indoor and outdoor units for any visible obstructions or debris that could be affecting the system's performance. After ensuring the units were clear, I accessed the system's control board to retrieve detailed error logs. The logs confirmed the pressure sensor was the root cause. I then replaced the faulty pressure sensor with a new one, ensuring all connections were secure and properly insulated. Following the replacement, I reset the system and conducted a series of tests to verify the error was resolved and the system was operating efficiently. The mini split now functions correctly, providing optimal cooling and heating performance.
