Give us a call and we’ll be happy to walk you through all of our water heater options and help you choose the right system for your home.
Tankless water heaters, also called on-demand water heaters, work by heating up the water as it passes through the system. Because there’s no tank, water is heated up only as necessary, saving water and energy. This is different than a traditional system, which heats up a certain volume of water based on the size of the tank and keeps that water heated until it’s all been used.
There are a number of reasons your water heater could be leaking, such as a loose drain valve, too much water pressure, or even a cracked storage tank. If you know your water heater is leaking, don’t wait. Give Royal Plumbing, Heating & Air a call and we’ll diagnose the problem and take the steps necessary to fix it.
While it depends on where your home is, most of Utah’s water is known for being extremely hard. You may need a water softener if:
Hard water also creates a mineral build-up in your pipes and reacts with soap, making it less effective. Give us a call today to learn more about how your home could benefit from softer water.
A water softener works by removing the hard minerals in your water, usually calcium and magnesium, and replacing them with softer minerals, such as sodium. These minerals are replaced through an ion exchange. Sodium is used because it doesn’t have the same effects on soap and pipes that calcium and magnesium do.
No. This is a common misconception since sodium is used to replace the calcium and magnesium. Softened water doesn’t taste salty and the sodium added to water is about the same amount found in a single slice of white bread.
Yes! There are no other chemicals added to softened water, and the sodium ions added are not toxic. In fact, some people prefer the taste of softened water over hard water.
If you’ve discovered that your pipes are frozen, don’t panic. If the pipes are easily accessible, you can thaw them with a hair dryer, heating electrical tape, or even a space heater. If they aren’t easily accessible, give us a call, and we’ll help you thaw your pipe, and even repair the issue if the pipe bursts!
Act now before it becomes completely clogged. You can use a number of drain cleaners or a snake to try to clear the clog, or you can give us a call to help make sure it doesn’t end up being a burst pipe or completely clogged drain!
While using a pipe cleaner can clear out the clog, it’s important not to use industrial-strength drain cleaners often, as they can damage your pipes. If you’re worried about damaging your pipes, get a professional to take care of the clogged drain for you.
