ASHEVILLE, N.C. (828newsNOW) — When winter temperatures drop across Western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina, your home’s heating system and plumbing face extra strain. Freezing weather can lead to no-heat emergencies, frozen pipes, burst lines and costly water damage.

Reliable heating services to keep your home warm

Your furnace or heat pump works overtime during cold weather. Without proper maintenance, small issues can turn into major breakdowns, often during the coldest nights of the year.

Our Heating & Cooling Division offers:

  • Thermostat troubleshooting
  • Airflow and filter checks
  • Emergency no-heat service

Whether you need routine maintenance or fast heating repair, our experienced technicians will ensure your system runs efficiently and safely.

Heating tips for homeowners during cold weather

Help your heating system perform better by:

  • Changing air filters every 1–3 months
  • Keeping vents and returns clear
  • Setting your thermostat to a steady temperature
  • Watching for unusual noises or weak airflow
  • Scheduling preventative HVAC maintenance

These steps improve comfort, reduce energy bills and help prevent winter breakdowns.

Freezing temperatures can cause pipes to freeze and burst, leading to serious water damage. Our Plumbing Division helps homeowners avoid winter plumbing disasters with fast, professional service.

We provide:

  • Frozen pipe prevention and repairs
  • Pipe insulation and winterization
  • Burst pipe and leak response
  • Water heater inspections and repairs

Plumbing tips to prevent frozen pipes

Protect your pipes this winter by:

  • Letting faucets drip on freezing nights
  • Opening cabinet doors under sinks
  • Insulating exposed pipes
  • Disconnecting outdoor hoses
