As the winter chill fades and the days grow longer, it is finally time to start thinking about spring cleaning—and not just for your Broad Ripple, IN, home but also for your home’s plumbing equipment!

Your home’s water heater is essential creating a comfortable home. Preventative maintenance is key to reducing potential issues with it as well as the inconvenience! After all, nobody wants to be left taking a cold shower!

That is where Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling comes in. We are proud to be your trusted provider for all plumbing, heating, cooling, and indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions. Here is our advice to help keep you and your water heater happy this spring.

SPRING CLEANING TIPS FOR YOUR WATER HEATER

Consider these tips to keep your water heater running efficiently for the warmer months ahead:

  1. Adjust the temperature: During winter, you might have set your water heater to a higher temperature for warmer showers. With spring’s arrival, you can likely lower the temperature to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Schedule a water heater inspection: Sediment buildup at the bottom of the water heater tank can reduce water heater efficiency and life span over time. Call Summers to have the tank checked, flushed, and properly maintained. If you are one of our maintenance members, Summers provides this service at no charge.
  3. Check for leaks: If you see any water present at connections or in the drain pan, even a small drip or amount, it could indicate a larger problem that should be addressed right away. Contact Summers for a free inspection if water is present.According to the Department of Energy (DOE), insulating hot water pipes can save you up to 10 percent on your water heating costs.Not sure how to insulate pipes? No problem! Our Broad Ripple plumbing professionals can take care of this for you, ensuring all your pipes are properly insulated and leaving you feeling confident about your equipment.
  4. Schedule your spring plumbing and AC maintenance visit: Spring is also the perfect time to schedule your plumbing and AC maintenance visit. A spring tune-up keeps your air conditioning system running efficiently and your plumbing system free of leaks, saving you money on water and energy bills and preventing unexpected breakdowns in the peak summer months—which nobody wants to deal with on a hot day! Remember, early detection and preventative maintenance are key to avoiding costly repairs and ensuring the smooth operation of your plumbing and AC systems.

The warranties alone, on things purchased through Summers, make it worth it My husband and I just had them clean our ducts and replace our AC unit & furnace. The people who came out to assess things and the service techs were all professional, polite, and super helpful in explaining things in terms I understand. I’m useless when it comes to HVAC so that was appreciated. They laid out all of the options and different price points. I didn’t feel pressured to make any purchases or upgrade anything. They cleaned up after themselves really well too I can’t tell they were here. Will use them again! Actually next week, for plumbing.

I had a very small crack in my basement sewer cap. Turned out I had a leak in the main gas line. Dan was the man. He showed (and explained) the leak and presented 2 options to repair. He brought in extra help and missed a good portion of their annual donation day. Great communication, skilled and experienced. I highly recommend the company, specifically, Dan, Andrew, and Jared

I would recommend Summers plumbing heating and cooling. They were very professional from the first call to schedule, they called as a reminder a couple days before appointment and called again saying they were on their way. I like the personal contact vs texting. Matt was very professional and explained to me what was needed to keep my current air conditioner up and running as well as prices for a new unit. We went over the cost with having a monthly payment plan, the yearly maintenance plan versus cost with and without having the plan discounts. Thank you for the professionalism.

Jarod arrived on time & was very helpful in explaining what the problem was & what needs to be done to fix it. He provided a written estimate & answered all our questions. He also checked an outside faucet for me & sent me the Amazon link so I could order the part. We were satisfied with our visit.

Kyle came to do my furnace tune-up, then the following week to clean my blower wheel. He was very informative, friendly, efficient and professional. I built my home 3 years ago and decided it was time to build a relationship with a heating and air company (plumbing too). Kyle introduced me to Summer’s membership and I jumped on board. I see Kyle as the face of Summer’s and I’m very pleased with what I see so far. Thanks so much for your excellent service! Also Beau and Kennedy came to clean out my vents. Beau asked if I’d be interested in a dryer vent cleaning. So I went ahead and did that too. Beau and Kennedy were very professional, friendly, efficient and informative as well. I’m very pleased with all the work they did. Thanks so much again for your excellent service!
