After the fall, when you don’t have to rely much on your AC and the heater hasn’t yet turned on, you can get used to seeing lower energy costs. But if your winter energy bills do seem too high, it’s a good idea to ask yourself “why?”

Why You Should Hire a Pro for Your Drain Cleaning
January 23rd, 2023
If you have a clogged drain in your house, whether a kitchen sink, a shower, or a toilet, what do you do?
- Grab a plunger and try to force the clog out.
- Take a drain snake (drain auger) and try to break apart the clog.
- Pour chemical drain cleaner down the drain.
- Call a professional for drain cleaning.
The first two are good instincts, and we definitely recommend you try them. For simple clogs, they’ll often work. The third is an unfortunately common reaction, and one we wish people would banish from their minds. Chemical drain cleaners are harmful to drains, people, and the environment.
The fourth choice is the only choice that’s guaranteed to get your drain unclogged, so if the plunger and the drain snake won’t do the job, call our professionals and we’ll see the clog is removed with professional drain cleaning in Lubbock, TX.

Are You Using Your Heater As Efficiently As Possible
November 28th, 2022
Our wintertime temperatures do not usually get as cold as our neighbors in the Midwest or the Northeast, with last year’s winter being a huge exception!
That said, it may typically seem pretty silly to worry about heating efficiency too much. When you don’t use yours that much, why should you care about how efficiently it operates?
