Your Furnace Is Safer Than You Think!

Monday, December 26th, 2022

When comparing gas-burning appliances and electrical appliances, safety is one of the core considerations. It makes sense! Electrical systems just don’t rely on combustion and they don’t run the risk of expelling fumes like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, smoke, and gas. These are just unfortunate realities of heating homes in our area.

However, before that becomes the sole reason for choosing an electrical heating system, we’d like our customers to hear us out. Gas furnaces are actually incredibly safe and efficient, to the point where they can run for a decade or more without as much as a safety hiccup.

Hard to believe, right? Well, it starts to make a lot of sense when you take a look under the hood of a gas furnace. Instead of doing that and risking furnace repair in Strongsville, OH, we’re going to go through some unique safety mechanisms in this blog that might make you feel safer this winter season.

Monday, November 28th, 2022

For many families, plumbing disasters during the holidays have become a running joke.

Have you ever heard of a tankless water heater? Perhaps you saw an ad for one a few weeks ago, or one of your neighbors mentioned their system during a summer barbeque. It’s not really important how you found out about them, the good news is that you’ve been let in on an industry secret.

Why Your Toilet Needs to Be Bolted Down

Monday, June 13th, 2022

This might sound like a niche problem, right? As long as your toilet flushes, doesn’t leak, and just works in general, then who cares if it’s securely bolted to the floor? We understand this sentiment, and we don’t want to tell any homeowners how they should live their lives.

However, an unbolted or unsecured toilet can not only be a safety hazard, but it could potentially lead to leaks and other issues down the line. There’s a good reason why every home inspection when purchasing a new house includes checking the toilet’s seal on the floor. This is a vital part of your bathroom, and we urge homeowners not to forget about it.

If you’ve recently noticed that your toilet is starting to wobble, or that the seal is starting to wear down, then don’t hesitate to call our team for toilet plumbing in Strongsville, OH. We’ve got your back!
