A close call while no one was home. šŸ”„

Our client was away when they received a call from the fire department. There was a serious problem with the water heater in their apartment.

As you can see in the photos, the electrical components had overheated and burned, scorching the insulation surrounding them. Thankfully, the fire department was alerted in time and the situation was caught before it could become something much more serious.

In a large apartment building, a failure like this is especially concerning. A problem that starts in one unit has the potential to affect many others.

Even more concerning, this is the second water heater weā€™ve seen experience this type of failure just this year.

We removed the damaged water heater, installed a new one, and made sure everything was safe and operating properly before putting it back into service.

Water heaters are easy to forget about when theyā€™re doing their job, but unusual smells, tripped breakers, popping or crackling sounds, or visible signs of overheating should never be ignored.

Thankfully, this one ended with a new water heater and everyone safe. šŸ™Œ

What started as a call for no water quickly turned into a much larger repair.

After returning home from vacation, these homeowners discovered they had no water in the house. After diagnosing the issue, we determined that the underground well line supplying the home had been compromised.

The repair required excavating a new trench and installing a new well line from the well to the home to restore their water supply.

Some plumbing problems are easy to spot. Others are buried several feet underground. Either way, finding the source of the problem and fixing it properly is what matters.

Happy we could help get these homeowners back up and running with water again! šŸ› ļø šŸ’¦

Residential and Commercial plumbing repairs!

Plumbing problems can show up in some unexpected places.

A recent service call for one of our clients took us underneath a dental chair, where a leak had already made its way into the basement below.

The leak was identified and quickly repaired. Just another example of the not-so-typical plumbing problems weā€™re equipped to tackle.

At Parmenter Plumbing & Heating, we diagnose and fix plumbing problems big, small, and sometimes very well hidden!

Another Before and After worth sharing

This homeownerā€™s aging Utica boiler was ready for an upgrade, so we replaced it with a new Viessmann Vitorond 100 and added a Viessmann indirect water heater for reliable heat and plenty of hot water.

Weā€™re proud to build mechanical rooms that look as good as they perform.

Thank you for trusting Parmenter Plumbing & Heating with your home.

Okay letā€™s talk High Velocity HVACā€¦
Part 3ļøāƒ£ Designed for Comfort. Built to Blend In.

High velocity systems are designed to deliver efficient heating and cooling while keeping the finished appearance of the home clean and unobtrusive.

One of the features many homeowners appreciate most is the small, discreet outlet design. Unlike large traditional registers, high velocity outlets can blend naturally into floors, walls, and ceilings with minimal visual impact.

This is one of the reasons high velocity systems work well in both older homes and new construction. In older homes, the smaller ductwork allows for installation with less disruption to existing walls, ceilings, and architectural details. In new homes, the compact design offers greater flexibility for cleaner lines and a more discreet finished appearance throughout the space.

We also chose this system for our own home during our rebuild because it offered the balance of comfort, efficiency, and clean design we were looking for throughout the space.

As always, feel free to reach out to Matt if you have any questions about high velocity systems or whether one may be a good fit for your home!

Part 2ļøāƒ£ Behind the Walls

Clean installation work matters just as much as the equipment itself.

Hiring a qualified plumber and HVAC installer like Matt ensures thoughtful planning, proper airflow design, and careful installation to help provide long-term performance, efficiency, and comfort throughout the home.

For this Bosch and SpacePak installation, everything from duct layout and equipment placement to maintaining a clean and organized setup was intentional and thoroughly planned.

Proper airflow design and system layout are critical in high velocity applications. The small details behind the walls can make a big difference in how a system performs and how comfortable a home feels day to day.
