Chances are that most heating systems you've seen rely on traditional, convection based methods of heat distribution.

The folks here at Great Lakes Plumbing are pros at all sorts of heating and cooling, and radiant heating is no exception!

Imagine: it's the middle of the summer, a hot day in July. Perhaps not as extreme a season in Michigan as the winter, but it's easy to forget that sometimes. You can practically see the sweltering heat in the air and you're miserable even indoors. Your options for cooling are either drinking water, going for ice cream, or finally getting central air conditioning for your home. With this in mind, it might be time to consider installing central air conditioning. The folks at Great Lakes Plumbing will make sure you have the best system installed for your cooling needs!

According to the US Department of Energy, a water heater represents the second largest utility expense in your home. It's probably not all that surprising, when you think about it. After all, hot water is indispensable to modern standards of living. It's easy to take it for granted, but any large family knows the annoyance that comes with an insufficient water heater. You use hot water every day, and it makes up a significant portion of your energy bill. With that in mind, you probably prefer to get the most mileage out of it possible.

Your sump pump is an important but often overlooked part of keeping your home in good shape. If you have a basement or crawlspace and/or you live in an area with a high water table, you may already be familiar with the concept. If not, you should know that a sump pump is essential for a home in areas like those mentioned above. It helps keep flooding and damage from unwanted water buildup to a minimum by pumping the water out through a discharge pipe. Because of the potentially huge amount of damage a basement can sustain from flooding, you don't want to cut corners with your sump pump.

The field of plumbing, heating, and cooling is a vast one. Many systems and fixtures exist to make the modern building or residence safer and more comfortable and convenient. Of course, this also means that installing, maintaining, and fixing them becomes more and more complicated all the time. Fortunately, Great Lakes Plumbing is up to the task. Our experienced plumbers can take on any job you need in installation and repair. Whatever your current setup, we can get you up and running good as new.

For about as long as humans have transported water from place to place, leaks have been a persistent source of annoyance. Even with well-engineered plumbing, a small and seemingly innocuous leak can wreak havoc. A leak in your home may be a simple issue or it may point to serious damage. But either way, you don't want to allow it to persist unchecked, or serious damage will be the end result. Water Leak Repair is an important service we offer at Great Lakes Plumbing. If you ever notice a leak or the telltale signs of one somewhere in your plumbing, don't hesitate to contact us!

Great Lakes Plumbing does a lot of good work on heating systems like furnaces and boilers. Everyone wants to stay comfortable during those nasty Michigan winters, of course. But as much as you might need to stay warm, are you making sure that your pipes do, too? If you've ever dealt with them, you know that frozen pipes can be a disaster. As the water freezes in your pipes, it will expand - and no matter how strong the material is, expanding ice runs the risk of rupturing the pipe. A burst pipe can then cause all sorts of water damage and incur high costs.

Backflow is the result of undesirable substance such as sewage or gas leaking or being siphoned into a clean water supply. It can be a costly problem if allowed to go unchecked, and even hazardous to your health. As always, the best measures you can take are preventative. Clean water is a necessity that is easy to take for granted in modern life. Unfortunately, your clean/potable water supply can all too easily become contaminated by unsafe backflow. Not many people often consider that clean water requires careful engineering to deliver into the home.

Is your drain not getting rid of water and liquid like it used to? A clogged drain is a very common plumbing issue to have, and also one of the least wanted. Besides being unseemly and messy, a drain that lets fluid build up and stagnate can cause some major sanitation/health issues. All drains develop such issues over time, and so all of them eventually require attention to prevent serious problems. You've probably seen a hundred and one different drain cleaning products on the market that sell themselves as a quick and easy solution to drain congestion.

It's the perennial plumbing problem: a faulty faucet. Among the most likely issues for you to face relate to a faucet's being leaky, dripping, or something similar. Needless to say, this can be a great annoyance. No one likes to hear constant drip, drip, dripping from a bathroom sink all through the night. But it can also inflate your water bill to boot! Of course, there are a host of other situations where you might want to call in a good plumber to take a look at your faucet. At Great Lakes Plumbing, we'd hardly be able to call ourselves "plumbers" if we didn't handle these issues like pros!

Even though Michigan is in a temperate climate, long-time residents are all too aware that this state has some of the most unpredictable weather around. Even mild winters and cool summers can turn unexpectedly extreme. Keeping your home at a comfortable temperature is easy when Great Lakes Plumbing is on the job. Whatever system you have - even if that's "none at all" - we want to work with you and provide the best heating and cooling service you can find. When you give us a call for service on your furnace or air conditioner, all you will be charged for is our diagnostic fee.

Modern heating and cooling technology has made it easier than ever to keep your home comfortable all year round. With that being said, we also appreciate the truth in the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" Boilers have been a reliable way to warm homes for generations, and are still commonly used in heating. Keeping boilers in good condition is important. The possible advantages and benefits offered by a boiler system in your home diminish quickly when it becomes inefficient or breaks down.
