3 Electrical Tips to Save on Insurance

July 17th, 2023

A home electrical system works behind the scenes, so it can be common for homeowners to think everything is just fine when it’s not. As long as you flip a light switch and the light turns on, everything is A-OK, right? Well, not exactly.

Pro Tip: When to Replace Your AC

June 19th, 2023

Air conditioners require repairs over the course of their lifespans. This is an essential part of owning an air conditioning system, and it’s fine if you’ve got a great HVAC technician on your team to get to the bottom of the issue.

That sounds stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. We’ll make the process easy. Follow along with us as we discuss some of the signs that your AC requires replacement and not just repairs.

When to Replace This Essential Water Heater Component

June 5th, 2023

For the majority of homeowners in our area, tank water heating systems are the tried and true method of heating water. It’s been this way for a very long time, since tankless (or “on-demand”) water heaters have only been around for a few decades. Since the old days, people would heat up a pot or tank of water and use that throughout the day.

Newer tank water heaters are more energy efficient and powerful. Sometimes, it can be easy to forget that it’s working in the first place. This is ultimately a good thing, because they let us focus on the important parts of life. But there’s one component of your tank water heater that shouldn’t be forgotten about. And if you do forget about it, you might need a new water heater installation in Castle Rock, CO. We’re, of course, talking about the sacrificial anode rod!
