Can a programmable thermostat really save me money?
Yes! Programmable thermostats are easy to use, and dialing down the temperature (even just a few degrees at night or while you’re away), can help reduce your utility bills. We also carry wireless thermostats for added convenience.
How much will this plumbing job cost?
Do you offer financing?
Yes! Whether you’re planning a bathroom remodel or updating your air conditioning system, NES can help you find a financing plan that fits your budget. Speak with a representative about available options or apply online today.
Should I hire a professional plumber for minor plumbing repairs?
It’s entirely your choice. If you have the right tools and hands-on experience, small fixes can be a simple DIY project. However, tackling complex pipe or fixture issues without proper training can quickly turn a minor leak into costly water damage. Most homeowners find it far safer and more cost-effective to call an NES licensed plumber for routine repairs, ensuring the job is done right the first time with an accurate, upfront plumbing repair cost estimate.
What is backflow testing and do I need it?
Most homes already have a backflow preventer installed, but older homes may not. Backflow preventers prevent contaminated water from entering your plumbing system. Ideally, testing should be conducted annually. It’s required for most commercial buildings in Michigan and is recommended for residential homes as well.
I have slow drainage in my sinks and tubs. Who provides expert drain cleaning?
When dealing with stubborn clogs or slow drains, it’s critical to call a professional team equipped with advanced motorized augers and inspection cameras. At NES Plumbing, our specialists provide comprehensive furnace and drain service answers along with dependable drain cleaning and sewer line repairs for both residential and commercial properties. Whether it’s clearing a bathroom sink or diagnosing deep main line blockage, no job is too big or too small.
Is there anything I can do to boost the efficiency of my furnace?
Replacing your furnace filter regularly is one of the easiest ways to maintain efficiency. A dirty filter reduces airflow, preventing your system from working properly and often causing “no heat” calls. Replace filters at least every 3-4 months during the heating season; helpful reminders include Labor Day and New Year’s Day.
