HVAC & Plumbing Repair
Frequently Asked Questions

If you notice strange smells, weak airflow, unusual noises, or higher-than-usual utility bills, these are all signs that your HVAC system most likely needs repairs. Essentially, if your system isn’t heating or cooling your home properly, or if you notice anything out of the ordinary, it’s best to have it checked out just in case.  

There are numerous signs to indicate that your plumbing system needs repairing. From leaking faucets to consistently clogged drains to overflowing toilets, even small issues need to be addressed and repaired immediately before they turn into larger concerns.  

Deciding on when to repair your water heater vs. when to replace your water heater depends on multiple factors. If your water heater is only a couple of years old and you’re experiencing small issues, then a repair is probably best.  If your water heater is around 10-15 years old and you’re experiencing frequent problems, it’s most likely time to look into a replacement. Whenever you run into issues, it’s best to have an experienced professional take a look to determine your options for the best course of action.

If your HVAC system won’t turn on, start by checking your thermostat settings, circuit breaker, and the air filter. A dirty or clogged filter can sometimes cause the system to shut down. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it’s best to contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the problem.

To keep your HVAC system running efficiently, it’s recommended to schedule maintenance at least once a year. Ideally, have your heating system checked in the fall and your cooling system serviced in the spring to catch any potential issues before peak usage periods.

Frequent clogs are often caused by buildup in the pipes from grease, soap scum, hair, or other foreign objects. Tree root intrusion and outdated plumbing materials can also contribute to blockages. A professional plumber can help identify the nature of the issue and recommend lasting solutions.

Even a small leak can lead to serious trouble like water damage, so it's important to catch issues early. Signs of a water heater leak include water pooling around the base of the unit, rust-colored water, or a noticeable drop in hot water availability.
