Summertime storms and power outages have the potential to cause discomfort for Maryland homeowners, especially when you find your AC not blowing cold air after the power comes back on. Grove Heating & Cooling explains the common causes behind this issue and what to do to fix them.
Once the power comes on after an outage, you expect your air conditioning system to fire back up as normal. However, power outages can cause issues that stand in the way of home comfort, namely an AC not blowing cold air.
If you discover warm air coming from your vents as the cooling system runs after a power outage, these are the most common sources of the problem:
Both the indoor and outdoor components of your central cooling system are powered by their own individual circuit breakers. When surge occurs, which is likely before a storm’s power outage, the breaker trips to shut down the circuit.
Since each portion of the system has its own breaker, it is possible that one breaker has tripped but the other has not. If the breaker to the outdoor air conditioning components trips but the indoor components’ breaker has not, the result is no cold air. This is because the outdoor equipment that is integral to the cooling process is not running, but your indoor components that facilitate air circulation are. The air handler indoors is still powered, so the blower fan pushes air through the ducts – it’s just not cooled.
If your air conditioning system isn’t blowing cool air following a power outage, go to your home’ electrical panel and look for the circuits which power your cooling system components. Find the circuit breaker marked condenser or outdoor air conditioner and see if it is tripped. If so, reset the circuit breaker and allow the air conditioning system to run. If the breaker trips again right away, do not reset it again – call for air conditioning repair to solve the problem.
Air conditioners use a capacitor to start up the system’s compressor. Power outage surges can cause the capacitor to fail. If the capacitor blows during a power outage, the compressor will not come back on once power is restored. Therefore, the outdoor unit does not work to perform heat exchange, yet the indoor unit operates normally. Because of this, your air conditioner isn’t blowing cool air because the heat exchange process is not completed with the cooling cycle.
You can visually assess the capacitor’s condition by looking into the outdoor unit – it looks like a canister on top of the compressor. The top usually bulges or leaks an oily liquid if the capacitor has blown. This issue needs to be repaired by a trained HVAC technician.
A power surge can also cause the air conditioner’s compressor to fail. When the compressor fails, there is no heat exchange, resulting in no cold air. This is because the compressor is not circulating refrigerant through the system, extracting warm air.
Your trusted HVAC technician is able to assess the compressor and inform you if yours has been damaged by the power outage. If the compressor has failed, a compressor replacement is needed to restore system function.
If there’s no cold air coming from your AC after the power comes back on, we recommend you check the breakers to determine if a tripped breaker has cut power to the outside unit. If breakers trip after resetting or the breakers are on normally yet warm air blows through your vents, schedule air conditioning repair.
Are you tired of the everyday noises you hear around your house? Are the unnecessary sounds driving you crazy?
Yes, we know them. Your kids screaming, the never-ending washing machine, the constant ringing of your mobile phone, the Hoover that never seems to look like it’s picked up anything!
The list is endless. At least we can offer you some salvation: a quiet air conditioner. And the Annapolis, MD ductless mini split will provide you the relief from excess sound you need.
Here’s everything you need to know about this model and why it’s the quietest.
Mitsubishi ductless mini split systems are the most environmentally friendly and efficient systems on the market. They are easy to use and install. The installation process consists of an indoor unit placed in a high spot of the room to ensure consistent temperatures all year round.
The obvious use of the word ‘ductless’ says it all, really. However, it doesn’t end there. Mini split systems use only very small tubes that don’t run throughout the whole household. The tubes connect the wall-mount unit to the condenser outside, distributing conditioned air via the wall-mount units. This eliminates the irritating whooshing sound you would hear on a traditional air conditioning system.
The whooshing sound comes from ductwork, something the Mitsubishi ductless mini split doesn’t use. The elimination of the ductwork also excludes heat loss.
The mini split systems are the quietest air conditioners you can find on the market. They have an average noise level of 32 decibels. To put that into perspective, window units and split and packaged central air conditioners have an average noise level of 50-72 decibels.
Mini split systems are not only the quietest, but they also offer some of the highest SEER ratings (seasonal energy efficiency ratio) and most dynamic performance on today’s market. They reach nearly 30 SEER, whereas other traditional split systems can only reach between 16-21 SEER.
This Mitsubishi single-zone series has an extremely quiet operation. The fan blades that are combined with a new grille shape to the outdoor unit ensure little to no noise. When put in low noise mode, the air conditioning system is even quieter, but that’s just self explanatory.
This Mitsubishi multi-zone series boasts an advanced “quiet mode” fan speed setting. It provides extremely quiet operation, with its dB as low as 21 for 25/35 models. This is a must have for a relaxing and tranquil home environment. The Mitsubishi hyper-heat cooling and heating system allows the heat pump to provide warmth in freezing climates.
Mitsubishi’s ductless mini split air conditioner systems are extremely economically viable. They guarantee maximum efficiency to keep you from worrying about your electricity bills.
The ductless mini splits also come with the ability to customize the heating and cooling settings according to your own home requirements. This means you can choose the zone you would like to be cooled, rather than having to cool the whole home, therefore keeping your electricity bills in check.
Because of the small size of these cooling systems and their zoning customizations, Mitsubishi can guarantee greater energy efficiency. They follow the ENERGY STAR guidelines, which means they are a lot more energy efficient, enabling you to reduce your total carbon output.
These systems use something called an R410A, which is well known for not having ozone-depleting qualities. Essentially, it means the system will have less impact on the environment.
Mitsubishi succeeds in improving your indoor air quality with their ductless mini split systems. This not only impacts the environment in a positive way but also helps you sustain a comfortable and healthy breathing space for your household. The multi-stage filtration in the units ensures healthier air quality.
There’s no doubt that installing one of these Mitsubishi units in your home guarantees you that comfortable and quiet home environment you crave.
There are many air conditioning systems on the market, but we don’t just install and repair any model. We want to make sure you have the best quality system we can give you, which is why we’re proud to carry a full line of Mitsubishi ductless mini split systems.
If you’d like one of these units installed in your home today, contact Grove to schedule ductless mini split installation service today.
A sunroom allows you to expand your home towards the outdoors. It gives you comfort by protecting you from rain, wind or other elements and enables you to enjoy the summer sun without all the nasty bugs and potential sunburn.
For Maryland residents, the biggest concern is always keeping the sunroom cool during the hot summer days. What you want is cost-friendly insulation to enhance comfort in your sunroom all year round. Although most sunrooms are designed to shield excess sunlight conventionally, they can prove challenging to keep cool during high temperatures.
Here are a few pointers on how to keep a sunroom cool during the summer.
Bowie, MD ductless mini-split installation in your sunroom offers excellent cooling whenever you don’t want to extend your HVAC system. This system makes it possible to set the preferred room temperature cost effectively. It also allows you to save energy by switching the cooling system off whenever you’re not using the sunroom.
Although sunroom ductless air conditioners might have a higher upfront cost, they offer significant savings in the long run due to their energy efficiency. They also offer extra convenience because they are quieter and don’t obstruct the windows. You, therefore, get quality cooling and excellent views from the comfort of your sunroom.
Mitsubishi ductless mini-splits don’t require any installation, building or design of ductwork. You get this cost-saving benefit that allows users to save money when installing cooling systems.
Blinds are an essential addition, especially if the windows in your sunroom are insulated. Although the initial cost of blinds might be high, they offer significant benefits in terms of keeping your room cool. You can close them to keep away excess heat when the sun is facing your sunroom.
There are two types of blinds: some are sandwiched between window panes while others are hung on the insides of the windows. Window blinds offer many options compared to other window coverings. They can be tilted up or down to deflect the heat coming from outside.
One of the ways to cool a room is by keeping the air circulating. You can achieve this by installing a ceiling fan in your sunroom and combining it with quality blinds. If you don’t have a fan installed in your room, you can opt for a portable fan to use during those hot summer days.
According to experts, having a fan placed at the bottom of a room blows the air upwards, hence driving it out of the vents. This creates natural air circulation that will cool the temperatures in the room.
Tinting your sunroom windows helps in reducing heat intensity the same way it does for a car. Tinted windows also block the sun’s UV rays and minimize glare. Exposing your furniture to UV rays can make them fade or even crack after some time.
There’s a wide variety of tints to choose from. However, you should select a “low-E” radiation blocker to prevent excessive heat from the sun. This type of tint is useful in avoiding radiant energy from escaping during winter. It also prevents radiant solar energy from entering your sunroom during summer. Although tinting might diminish your view to some extent, it offers more convenience by reducing heat and minimizing glare.
Vents are helpful whenever you want the hot air to escape from your sunroom. Failure to install vents will make the air feel excessively hot and stiff. With a few vents in your room, the air will flow freely, and excess heat will escape from the ventilation to keep your space cooler. Always ensure the openings are created high in the room.
Motorized shades come with sunlight sensors to cover your space during high temperatures. This system automatically closes when the temperatures are too high to prevent damage to your furniture or other belongings.
Automatic shades won’t affect the look of your sunroom because they are customized to fit sunroom windows perfectly. They also come with matching casings, which makes them ideal for exterior installation. There’s a wide variety of materials to choose from, which means you can match the shade with the design of your sunroom.
Installing a Mitsubishi single-zone ductless system in your sunroom will give you extra comfort during summer. It will also protect your upholstery from fading. No matter the form of insulation or cooling you choose, ensure it is cost-effective and energy-efficient.Contact Grove Heating and Cooling to learn more.
When it comes to ensuring your home’s comfort and convenience, few appliances are as essential as your water heater. Whether it’s for a warm shower on a chilly morning or providing the hot water needed for cleaning, a reliable water heater makes it all possible.
A properly installed water heater is key to your home’s efficiency and your family’s comfort. Grove Heating & Cooling’s expert team provides professional, thorough water heater installation services so Maryland homeowners never run out of hot water when they need it most. Trust us to bring warmth and reliability to your home with professional installation that stands the test of time.
There are five main signs that it’s time to replace your water heater:
Most water heaters that use a storage tank last between 8-12 years. If your unit is approaching its eighth birthday, you should start shopping around for a replacement. If it’s older than 10 years old, you should definitely install a new water heater.
Tankless water heaters typically have a lifespan of 20 years or more, double that of traditional tank-style units. Despite their long service life, they do eventually wear out and you’ll need to replace yours.
If you moved into a home in the Bowie area that already had a heater previously installed, you can find out the age of the system by checking the first two numbers of the serial number (following any letters); this will represent the year of manufacture. If you’re doubtful of the age, check the website of the manufacturer. If the unit is over 10 years old, it likely isn’t worth the repair, and it’s time to find a new one.
Tank water heating units are usually made of steel. However, steel rusts over time and leads to corrosion, which can result in holes in the unit. This will bring leaks that will flood and damage your home. Corrosion and rust can also impact the internal components of tankless water heaters, which can compromise the entire system.
Although it can be difficult to determine exactly where the rust is coming from, it’s important to find the source and repair it for the health and safety of you and your family.Rusty water that appears in faucets, sinks, and bathtubs is usually from a rusty heater. Rust around an inlet or valve is also a sign of a rusty heater.
Rusty pipes can also be the culprit of rusty water. To determine if the water is rusty due to the water heater or the pipes, drain several buckets of hot water from the tank. If the water is still rusty after the last bucket, the tank may need to be replaced.
Usually when dealing with rust and corrosion, a new water heater installation is the safest and most effective solution to avoid further damage and costly repairs.
If a piece of machinery is especially noisy, it likely needs to be repaired. Rumbling noises from the tank will get louder as time goes on and the tank heats the water. Noise is typically due to a sediment buildup that grows hard and thick along the floor of the tank.
Without a quick water heater repair, this can cause inefficiency and accelerated damage. Prevent this from happening by contacting a plumbing professional from Grove to flush the heater tank for you or perform the precise water heater repairs your system needs.
While repairing a water heater might seem like the most economical option at first, repair costs can quickly add up, especially as the unit ages. Frequent repairs often indicate that your water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan, and the total cost of fixing recurring issues can easily surpass the price of a new unit. So if you’re calling us often for repairs, a new water heater installation may be a better solution for you.
Old water heaters may start leaking water, which will eventually cause damage to your Bowie, MD, home. Leaks are usually caused by the expansion and contraction of the metal tank over time. This exposure happens due to the tank’s inner body over thousands of heating cycles. When the metal expands at the beginning of the heating cycle, small amounts of water will leak through.
Other causes of leaks include improper fittings or connections done by a previous plumber, a faulty drain valve, or discharge pipe leaks due to high pressure. While less prone to leaking issues than tank water heaters, tankless water heaters can still cause leaks. Leaks in tankless water heaters can occur due to several factors, including worn-out seals, loose connections, or corrosion in the internal components.
Leaks can result in damage to your Bowie, MD, home, which is why it’s important to nip this problem in the bud before an emergency occurs. Damage that can result from leaks includes:
Therefore, it’s important to replace the water heater as soon as you discover the leak.
The most obvious plumbing problem with a water heater is when there is no hot water coming from your faucets. Hot and warm water isn’t just needed for showers: it’s also necessary for dishwashing and laundry purposes.
If your unit isn’t working properly, you should consider replacing your water heater with a new one. Homeowners near the Bowie area can contact our team of experts to schedule plumbing service with us today.
So, you’ve determined that your water heater needs to be replaced, but you’re not sure what will be best for your Bowie, MD, home. Thankfully, there aren’t too many different kinds of units. There are two main categories: tank and tankless water heaters.
A tankless water heater (“on-demand heater”) has high-powered burners that can provide hot water very quickly as water runs through the heat exchanger. Tankless water heaters deliver hot water to the faucets without the use of a tank. They are much more energy efficient than tank water heaters and you’ll save money in the long run, but they have a higher upfront cost.
Tank water heaters are what people typically think of when they imagine a water heater: these units store water and keep it warm, then distribute the hot water throughout the house when it’s needed. They are cheaper initially, but the costs add up to higher utility bills.
Choosing between a gas water heater and an electric water heater depends on various factors, including your home’s infrastructure, energy costs, and hot water needs. Gas water heaters typically offer faster heating times and lower operating costs due to the generally lower price of natural gas compared to electricity. On the other hand, electric water heaters are often easier to install and have lower installation costs, with no need for gas piping or a vent pipe.
The type of water heater that is perfect for one Bowie, MD, home may not be ideal for another property. Talk to one of our expert plumbers to find out more information and determine which type will work best for your water heater installation.
Selecting the right size for your new water heater is important for optimal performance and efficiency. Grove Heating & Cooling evaluates your home’s specific needs to recommend the best water heater size, whether you’re opting for a traditional tank model or a modern tankless unit.
For tank water heaters, sizing primarily depends on the volume of hot water your household uses. We consider factors such as the number of residents, peak usage times, and the types of activities that require hot water. Tank water heaters are typically sized by their storage capacity, which ranges from 30 to 80 gallons.
To determine the right size tank, we calculate the First Hour Rating (FHR), which indicates how much hot water the unit can deliver in an hour of peak demand. Our goal is to ensure that your tank water heater can meet your household’s hot water demands without running out of hot water or wasting energy by heating excess water.
Sizing tankless water heaters requires a different approach since they provide hot water on demand. We evaluate your home’s peak hot water usage, considering the number of fixtures and appliances that will be running simultaneously.
Tankless units are sized based on their flow rate, measured in gallons per minute (GPM), and the temperature rise needed. The flow rate should be sufficient to handle multiple hot water demands simultaneously, such as showers, dishwashers, and washing machines. Additionally, we account for the incoming water temperature and the desired output temperature to ensure the unit can efficiently heat water to the required temperature without fluctuations.
In both cases, our goal is to find the right water heater that fits seamlessly into your home’s lifestyle, offering reliable performance and energy efficiency. By carefully assessing your needs and the specific characteristics of each unit, we ensure that you get the most suitable water heater installation for your household.
Tankless water heaters offer several benefits, including unlimited hot water on demand, higher energy efficiency, and a longer lifespan compared to traditional tank models. They also take up less space and reduce the risk of water damage from tank leaks.
While DIY installation might seem tempting, water heater installation involves complex plumbing and electrical or gas connections and venting for combustion air that must meet local building codes and safety standards. Hiring a licensed professional ensures proper installation, compliance with regulations, and the longevity of your unit.
The installation of a new water heater typically takes between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the type of unit, the complexity of the installation, and any necessary modifications to existing plumbing or electrical systems. For more extensive installations, such as adding a new gas line or upgrading an electrical circuit breaker, the process may take longer.
Regular maintenance is key to prolonging the life of your water heater. It’s recommended to have your water heater serviced annually. Routine maintenance includes flushing the tank or descaling the tankless unit, checking for leaks, and inspecting the heating elements or burners to ensure optimal performance.
The cost of water heater installation can vary widely based on the type of unit (tank or tankless), its size, and fuel type. Let us provide you with an accurate upfront pricing quote for your water heater installation cost so you know exactly what to expect. We also offer financing options that can help make the upfront cost more budget-friendly.

This summer I replaced my unit and was very pleased from start to finish with everyone at Grove. I was given a couple of options with honest opinions from the sales rep.

We are well-equipped to handle any issue that your hot water heater may be experiencing. Below are some of the most common problems that you may come across with tankless water heaters and traditional water heaters. If you are experiencing any of the following issues with your water heater, please don’t hesitate to contact us so we can come out and take a look at it for you.
Loose connections or a faulty pressure relief valve commonly cause leaks. Even if a leak is small, it can quickly grow into a significant problem if you don’t address it swiftly. Be sure to call us at the first sign of a problem so we can save your home from extensive water damage.
If this issue has always been the case for your property, then the problem could be that the system is too small, and it’s time to install a new tankless water heater or tank water heater. However, if this is a more recent issue, then the problem could be related to colder weather, leaks or sediment buildup. Whatever the problem is, we will get to the bottom of it and get you back to having plenty of hot water in no time.
The most common bad odor that people report is a smell that is akin to rotten eggs. This smell is usually caused by bacteria reacting with the water heater. However, never fear, we have the tools and expertise to fix this issue and get your water back to being odorless.
No heat or hot water being produced anywhere in the house is one of the most prevalent issues, and it is usually due to the heating elements in your water heater not operating correctly. We will be happy to look into this for you and get to the bottom of what is happening.
If you can give us basic information and your best diagnosis before you contact us, then we will address the problem and complete water heater repairs even faster. The first thing we will likely ask is what type of water heater you have.
Gas water heaters and electric water heaters can be tank or tankless. It is rather easy to determine if you have a tankless water heater because they don’t have a massive tank. However, a gas and an electric water heater will often look very similar. You will want to look on top of the unit for either a flue or gas line connection if it is a gas water heater or just an electrical supply if it’s an electric water heater.
If your problem is that the water is not hot, try doing a quick check to see if this is the case throughout the house or just in certain rooms. Try to turn on the hot water in each faucet and see where it works and where it doesn’t. Having this information will help us treat this problem quickly.
The more information you can provide to us, the more likely we will be able to promptly solve the problem with your electric, gas, or tankless water heater. However, we will happily go off of any information you have and do our best to render professional hot water heater repair services for your hot water heater to mitigate the issue.
Determining whether to repair or replace your water heater can be a challenging decision. Grove Heating & Cooling is here to guide you through this process and ensure your home has reliable hot water. We can assess your tank or tankless systems and let you know if water heater repair or replacement is a good solution for your needs.
Minor issues like small leaks, inconsistent temperatures, strange noises, and discolored water can often be repaired. However, if your water heater is nearing the end of its lifespan (8-12 years for tank models, up to 20 years for tankless), frequently needs repairs, has significant leaks, or results in high energy bills, replacement may be more cost-effective.
Tank water heaters are cheaper upfront and easier to repair but less efficient, while tankless models are more energy-efficient and longer-lasting but have higher upfront costs. Grove Heating & Cooling can help you decide the best course of action for reliable hot water.

While some minor issues like relighting the pilot light can be done by most homeowners, most water heater repairs require professional expertise. Handling repairs yourself can be dangerous and may void the warranty. It’s best to leave repairs to qualified technicians who can safely and effectively address the problem.
Sediment buildup occurs when minerals in the water, like calcium and magnesium, settle at the bottom of the tank or within the tankless unit. This can lead to decreased efficiency as the unit works to heat water and damage over time. Flushing your current water heater tank annually or descaling your tankless water heater can help prevent sediment buildup and increase energy savings.
The time required for a water heater repair varies depending on the issue. Minor repairs, like replacing a thermostat or heating element, can take a few hours. More complex problems may require a longer time to diagnose and fix. Your technician can provide an estimated timeframe after evaluating the situation.
Common parts that may need replacing include the thermostat, heating elements, anode rod, and pressure relief valve. Routine maintenance can help identify worn-out parts early and replace them before they cause significant issues.
The cost of water heater repairs can vary widely depending on the nature and extent of the problem. Minor repairs may cost a few hundred dollars while more extensive repairs are higher in price. Your technician can provide a more accurate estimate after inspecting the unit.
Yes, regular maintenance can significantly extend the lifespan of your water heater. Annual inspections, flushing the tank to remove sediment, and replacing worn-out parts can keep your unit running efficiently and prevent major issues that can lead to premature failure.

You’ve finally got round to converting your basement. You’ve created your dream, cozy relaxation station. Life is good.
The only thing is, you’re unsure of what heating and cooling system to use.
With many different systems to choose from, the first thing you’re probably going to think about is not breaking the bank. With that being said, you’re also going to want a system that is effective and efficient.
Cue the reliable ductless mini split system.
A ductless system can provide you with the precise comfort you want, but you’ll also have a system that can guarantee you high-energy savings and control over the temperature of your basement. It’s a win-win.
You’ve already got a fabulous air conditioner installed in your house. You converted your basement after the current system was installed. This means the current AC system won’t be connected to your basement. Because of the added square footage the basement has created, the additional space will need to be cooled separately. When an air conditioning system is installed, the size of the system is determined by the number of square feet that needs to be cooled. This means a second air conditioning system is required.
One annoying factor of basements is they create constant dampness and humidity, which is the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. This is something you will want to avoid, even more so when you’re using your basement as a liveable space. Keeping excess humidity at bay is essential and often ongoing.
Again, because basements are underground, some may lack windows entirely, or some may have small windows that are located at ground level (up high).
Naturally, you want your basement conversion to be comfortable, relaxing and liveable. Installing a ductless mini split means you can have all these comforts within an affordable price range.
These air conditioning systems are not only capable of giving you the exact heating and cooling measures in what is essentially an unconventional space, but they are also extremely energy efficient and powerful. They can provide you maximum comfort while ensuring that you can save those pennies.
As previously mentioned, windows are often scarce in basements. The single-zone mini split system from Mitsubishi is ideal if you want to heat or cool a single room. They only require a small hole in the wall for a pipe. This pipe connects the inside to an outdoor unit that is mounted straight onto the wall. They are quiet, so there’s no stress of a noisy system, allowing you to relax in the peace of your new basement hideaway.
One system guarantees a dual effort. The mini split systems are designed to cool and heat a room, meaning you don’t need to install two separate orders.
Most basements also have installed dehumidifiers. With a mini split, this isn’t necessary, as they are designed with a dehumidification function that helps reduce the humidity levels in your basement. Low humidity levels = no more mold!
The systems are also extremely energy efficient. The mini splits are less likely to lose power because of the lack of ductwork. The elimination of air ducts gives the mini splits a massive advantage over traditional cooling systems. This is because they guarantee no leaky ductwork, something that often poses significant problems in most households. Also, it’s so much cheaper than adding more ductwork when adding the finishing additions to your home!

Because of the humidity and sometimes mold levels, the air purity in basements isn’t always the healthiest. The ductless mini systems boast an advanced air filtration system that guarantees excellent quality air. They can reduce humidity and remove most of the bacteria in the air, giving you peace of mind knowing the air that you’re breathing in is pure and oxidized. Alongside the purification of the air, the mini splits are also great at removing the well known damp basement smell.
With their low energy costs and energy efficiency, a ductless mini split air conditioning system is perfect for any basement. It’s a must for home improvement and a must for the wallet. With a ductless mini split installed in your basement, you can breathe easily, find that perfect temperature and enjoy your new comfy surroundings in what once was a little old basement.
