Your home’s heating works overtime during the holidays, and the last thing you want is for something to go wrong when you’ve got a house full of family!
Let’s talk about getting everything ready, so you can focus on what matters – spending time with the people you love.
Your furnace is about to work harder than usual
When you’ve got extra people in your home, your heating system has to keep up with a lot more than usual. Every time someone opens the door to greet arriving guests or step outside, cold Iowa air rushes in. The kitchen might get warm from all that cooking, but the rest of the house still needs to stay comfortable.
If your furnace has been making weird noises or hasn’t been serviced in a while, now is the time to deal with it. You don’t want to discover a problem on Thanksgiving morning when every technician in the area is already booked solid with emergencies. A quick check now can save you from hosting dinner in a cold house while everyone keeps their coats on.
Our heating services can make sure your system is ready for the extra demand. We’ll check that everything is running efficiently and catch any small issues before they become big problems.
Your kitchen and plumbing will get a serious workout
Think about everything that happens in your kitchen on Thanksgiving. The stove is running for hours. The oven is going full blast. You’re washing vegetables in one sink while someone else is filling pots in the other. The dishwasher runs multiple times. And that’s just the kitchen.
Now add in extra guests using bathrooms, washing hands before dinner, and maybe even a few kids who decide to “help” by playing with the faucets. Your plumbing system is handling way more than it does on a regular Tuesday.
Slow drains are annoying any day of the week, but they become a real problem when you’re trying to drain a pot of potatoes or clean up after a big meal. If your kitchen sink has been draining a little slowly, get it checked out now. Same goes for any toilets that have been running longer than they should or taking multiple flushes to do their job.
Our plumbing repair services cover everything from leaky faucets to more serious issues. And if you’ve noticed your drains aren’t flowing like they should, our drain cleaning can clear things out before you’re standing at the sink with a disposal full of potato peels and nowhere for the water to go.
Small problems become big problems on holidays
Here’s the thing about home systems – they tend to fail at the worst possible times. That’s not just bad luck. It’s because holidays and gatherings are when we push everything to its limits. The furnace that’s been struggling a bit runs constantly. The toilet that’s been “fine, mostly” gets used by a dozen people instead of the usual two or three. The garbage disposal that’s been making a funny sound meets an entire turkey’s worth of scraps.
The week before Thanksgiving, everyone suddenly remembers they meant to fix that thing. Schedules fill up fast, and by the time the holiday arrives, you’re stuck dealing with whatever breaks at the least convenient moment possible.
