There is a range of different techniques you can use to prevent your pipes
from freezing and leaking, but one of the simplest and most effective is
insulating them. You can do this yourself, although it might be a bit of a
long process for a layperson and a specialist contractor may be
better-equipped for the task. Our team can do this for you.
Dishwashers are to leave some water in the bottom of the unit at the end of
each cycle. This is to keep the heating element from burning up. However,
if the dishwasher does not empty at all, you’ve got a problem.
A Gary’s plumber can determine if it is a clogged drain line, faulty motor
or an electronic issue. Dishwashers are fickle machines and can be very
hard to work on. We can help you determine the best course of action.
Yes! All you have to do is put a few drops of food coloring into your
toilet tank. Wait a few minutes and then look in the toilet bowl. If you
see that your bowl has the same color, then you’ve got a leak! The scary
part is you are probably wasting hundreds of gallons of water each month!
Call Gary’s Plumbing and Heating. We can install a low-flow toilet that
will not only save you water dollars but will flush better than anything
you have ever had in the past!
Conventional water heaters are by far the most common type of water heater
in the U.S. today. They range in size from 20 to 80 gallons (or larger) and
are fueled by electricity, natural gas, propane, or oil. Called ‘storage’
units, these water heaters transfer heat from a burner or coil to water in
an insulated tank. The down side to a conventional water heater is that
energy is consumed even when no hot water is being used.
Tankless water heaters do not contain a storage tank like conventional
water heaters. A gas burner or electric element heats the water only when
there is a demand for hot water.
There are many things to consider when choosing conventional vs. tankless
water heating systems. A Gary’s water conditioning specialists can guide
you through your options and get the right system for your home that will
give years of service and efficient performance.
