We understand that having sufficient hot water in your home is an absolute must. After all, few things are more annoying than not being to take a hot shower, effectively wash dishes, or complete basic household cleaning tasks. So, when your household water heater breaks down or starts to have mechanic problems, it’s extremely frustrating. However, if you give us a call, our plumbing professionals can diagnose what’s wrong with your water heater and promptly get it fixed. Alternatively, if your home’s water heater is getting up there in years and showing signs of decline, we can help you through the process of replacing it. We will assist you in selecting the ideal new water heater for your home, and then we’ll handle the entire installation for you—all you’ll need to do is sit back and relax.

These are some of the most common signs that your water heater needs to be repaired or replaced:

If you want to keep your water heater healthy, effective, and energy-efficient, having it serviced regularly is imperative. At Owyhee Heating & Air Conditioning, we can provide water heater maintenance to make sure your home’s system is in tiptop condition. During this service, your hired water heater expert will flush any accumulated sediment from the tank, inspect its components thoroughly, and run a full safety and performance test. This service will extend your water heater’s life expectancy, keep your monthly energy bills in check, reduce the chances of a mechanical failure, and ensure that you always have hot water when you need it.

If you’re like many homeowners, you may have hard water running through your plumbing system without being aware of it. Hard water contains the minerals magnesium and calcium, and those minerals can leave behind a hazardous residue called scale when the water flows through your pipes, fixtures, and appliances. Although you may not know that it’s happening, hard water can cause a variety of negative effects. For your plumbing system, the scale left behind by hard water can lead to pipes becoming clogged, leaky, or otherwise damaged. As for your appliances, such as your dishwasher and laundry machine, hard water can worsen their energy efficiency and even shorten their lifespans.

Hard water isn’t just damaging to your household systems, though; it can also have negative effects on your skin, hair, and clothing. Due to the mineral ions that are present, bathing or washing your hands with hard water can cause dry, irritated skin, and washing your hair with it can lead to your hair becoming dry, brittle, or frizzy. If you run your laundry machine with hard water, you may find that your clothes develop odd stains or faded colors.

Fortunately, there’s no reason you have to live with these issues for the long haul. At Owyhee Heating & Air Conditioning, we offer high-quality water softener systems for your home. When you have one of these special systems installed, all of your water has to pass through it before it flows through your pipes, fixtures, and appliances. When the hard water passes through the system, the harmful calcium and magnesium ions are replaced with other harmless ions. Plus, other contaminants are filtered out in the process, meaning you’re left with water that’s cleaner, healthier, and better for your home.

Our plumbing experts are always available to install one of these water softening systems for you, and you’ll be thrilled with the results. Your plumbing system will be in better condition, your skin and hair will be healthier, and your appliances will gain longevity and efficiency, just to name a few of the many benefits.

If you or anyone else is experiencing any of these symptoms, you will need to immediately turn off all of the gas-burning appliances and call us as soon as possible. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, tasteless, and very deadly gas that can build up in your home.
