Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prevent my outdoor faucet from freezing in Dillon's cold winters?
We recommend insulating your outdoor faucets with covers and disconnecting hoses before the first hard freeze. For older homes, we can install frost-proof hose bibs, which are designed to prevent freezing by shutting the water off inside your home's warmer wall. As part of our plumbing inspection and maintenance services, we can check all your exterior fixtures and recommend the best solutions to avoid costly burst pipes and water damage common in our mountain climate.
My garbage disposal is jammed or leaking. Can JLR help, or do I need a full replacement?
Absolutely, we can help. Many jams are caused by food scraps like potato peels or fibrous vegetables and can often be cleared safely with our specialized tools. For leaks, we'll diagnose if it's a simple seal issue or a crack in the unit. Our service includes repairing or installing new garbage disposals. We'll always provide an honest assessment—if a repair is the best fix, we'll do it; if a new, more powerful model is more cost-effective, we'll explain your options and handle the installation cleanly and efficiently.
What HVAC maintenance should I schedule to prepare for both summer and winter in Summit County?
For our variable climate, we recommend bi-annual HVAC maintenance. In spring, we'll service your cooling system, checking refrigerant levels and cleaning coils to ensure efficiency for warmer days. In fall, we focus on your furnace or heating system, inspecting heat exchangers, cleaning components, and testing safety controls to ensure reliable heat through our harsh winters. This proactive maintenance from JLR helps prevent breakdowns during peak seasons, improves indoor air quality, and can extend the life of your system, saving you money and discomfort.
