As frost advisories enter the forecast on a weekly basis, it seems important to include as a home improve the quality work of Independence Plumbing Heating and Cooling.
Abbreviated IPHCI, President of the Company since 1987, Dick Curry says as winter approaches, we will shut water off, drain systems down, and put RV Antifreeze in traps.
According to Curry these winterizing practices bring a lot of benefit to a homeowner.
“It’s good to have furnaces serviced out in fall and Air Conditioner’s in spring if not every year,” said Curry. “It should be happening every other year to keep the equipment clean and maintain the life expectancy of the equipment.”
Curry says an important part of prepping for winter is looking for places cold air can enter the house.
“Make sure you seal off any cold air coming into the home,” said Curry. “Especially next to water lines to prevent pipes freezing.”
As for the best way a homeowner can benefit their home on their own, Curry says they can check air filters monthly and then change them if needed.
According to Curry, the cost of utilizing IPHCI’s professional services are worth the secure feeling knowing things were handled correctly.
“Minimum charge for a Service Call at one hour at $100,” said Curry. “AC & Furnace Checks- $100.00-$150.00 depending on material used. The average length of a call is approximately one to one and a half hours.”
Aside from the winterizing services that IPHCI offers, Curry says he wants the community to know that there is a lot more his company can do for homeowners.
“We do HVAC & Plumbing work that includes Service work, Remodels, New Construction, Replacement of equipment, and providing plumbing fixtures,” said Curry.
Lastly to the community Curry offers a final set of tips,
“Ensure that your pipes aren’t exposed to the cold,” said Curry. “If water lines are in cabinets, keeping cabinet doors open to allow warm air on them and setting your stat to a standard temp will help.”
