Our Air Solutions by Barron team understands that your indoor air quality is about so much more than simply the temperature of the air in your living space. This is, of course, a very important part of your overall comfort, but just part of the equation. From duct cleaning and air sealing to air purifier and filtration services, we have everything you need to breathe easier in your home.

One service in particular that we are proud to offer to improve your overall indoor air quality is weatherization. We take pride in our WholeHome™ ventilation approach that addresses your full indoor air quality needs, rather than simply just selling you equipment. Read on to learn more about what our weatherization service includes and how it helps improve your household comfort and health.

The Importance of a Sump Pump Inspection

September 20th, 2021

At Barron Plumbing, we understand that Bellingham area homeowners want to keep their homes safe and functioning at peak performance. This is why many of you have chosen to have a sump pump professionally installed in your basement. This plumbing system is a great way to ensure your property is kept safe in the event of a plumbing leak, burst pipe, or flood from storm waters.

Like other home comfort systems and equipment, sump pumps require routine care and maintenance inspections. At Barron Plumbing, we provide thorough sump pump inspections as well as comprehensive sump pump repairs and installation. We understand how important your safety and comfort is, which is why our home comfort experts are here to help.

Don’t miss our sump pump inspection special! Through the end of the month we’re offering a lower price on sump pump inspections. Read on to find out the common problems we may find and remedy during your sump pump inspection, and why this service is so beneficial.

What to Know about Current Home Services Supply Change Challenges

September 6th, 2021

The last 18 months have been challenging for everyone. The Home Performance Experts at Barron have worked diligently to ensure that our customers throughout Northwest Washington continue to receive top-notch home services—especially during a time where we are spending more time indoors than ever before.

As the pandemic continues to bring upon new challenges, the home services industry is dealing with an equipment shortage and an increase in demand for HVAC services. This raises a couple of questions from homeowners:

When is the best time to have equipment installed?
When should you have maintenance done?

Please know that Barron has been working diligently so that equipment shortages and inventory issues will not have a major impact on your home’s comfort, especially for essential services like heating, water heating, and power solutions equipment.

Nevertheless, the current situation has impacted most brands across the country. This is not a permanent situation—eventually, the supply chain will return to normal. In the meantime, we expect to see continued challenges for 12-18 months and because of this Barron is working overtime to make sure we can supply you with the essential services your need as we head into the fall and winter season.
