Be Ready For Holiday House Guests

There is an old saying “the more the merrier.” That may be true when it comes to having family and friends visit for the holidays but if your water heater or plumbing is outdated or overdue for maintenance it can mean trouble. Having more people in the house also means more hot showers, more toilets flushing, more clothes being washed and more dishes being cleaned. We can help you prepare your home for the extra load it will be taking on during the holidays.

Be Ready for Holiday House Guests

It’s not too late to schedule some last minute maintenance or upgrades before the holidays. Bradley Mechanical has trained experts to take care of all your plumbing, heating and electrical needs for the holidays.

Water Heaters

When was the last time you had a look at your water heater? If you can’t remember, it’s time to give Bradley Mechanical a call. Experts recommend you inspect your water heater every four to six months and drain it at least once a year. Draining your water heater will remove sediment that has collected and prevent corrosion of the water heater’s components. This helps ensure your water heater is producing the most hot water for your home.

After all, the average shower uses six to eight gallons of hot water. Think about how quickly that will add up when all of the relatives are staying at your house. If your water heating system isn’t performing well enough or it’s time to replace it we can help. We can service any make or model of water heater and also have many options including tankless water heaters available for purchase and installation.

Garbage Disposals

With more meals at home during the holidays come more scraps down the drain. Having a garbage disposal installed can help save time and money. They make cleanup after meals easier, reduce the food waste to dispose in the garbage and break down food scraps to help eliminate the risk of clogged drains. They’re also a good way of getting rid of that unwanted fruitcake.

With proper maintenance, a garbage disposal should last for many years. But like any piece of machinery with moving parts it will eventually need to be repaired or replaced. That’s why Bradley Mechanical has expert technicians who can diagnose and repair any garbage disposal issue. If it’s time to install a new disposal, we can do that too. We carry a variety of garbage disposal products to fit any budget or usage type.

Plumbing

As we mentioned before, the more the merrier also means more work for your plumbing system. The water and waste from all of those extra showers, toilet flushes, laundry loads and dish washings must go somewhere. The last thing you need is a clogged or backed up pipe while holiday guests are over. But in the event you have a plumbing emergency, Bradley Mechanical has certified plumbing experts ready to help.
