BENJAMIN FRANKLIN PLUMBING

Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning, Water Heaters,

About us

We've called Albany its home for close to 100 years! We know this town, its people and its homes. We are unique -an older community with specific needs when it comes to heating and cooling. We appreciate the tradition and history of Albany’s older homes. But just because our residences come from the era of the model T, doesn’t mean they have to run like one. Over time, we have become the experts in making sure an older home is running at peak efficiency when it comes to energy consumption. In order to properly diagnose your home’s needs, Farrell Brothers needs to look at its infrastructure, its duct work and air flow, insulation, windows and doors. All these things come into play when heating and cooling an older home. The biggest and best piece of equipment doesn’t always serve an Albany residence in the same way it would a brand new home.

Description of Work: Fixed a roof leak that was due to improper installation of flashing when the home was built. The repair included installing a rain and ice barrier near the flashing and installing new roof tiles near the portion of the roof that was leaking. So far no leaks have been found when there is rain.
