About Merz Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning in Leo, IN

In many of Leo's established neighborhoods, we frequently address issues with aging galvanized steel or cast iron pipes, which can corrode and lead to leaks or reduced water pressure. Our approach is to assess the entire system, often recommending targeted repairs or, if needed, a full repipe with durable materials like copper or PEX to prevent future problems. We're also familiar with the sediment buildup that can affect local water heaters and the wear on sump pumps from our region's soil conditions. For us, a repair isn't just a quick fix; it's about providing a reliable, long-term solution for your home.

Yes, we provide comprehensive maintenance services for both systems because proactive care is key to preventing major breakdowns and improving efficiency. Our HVAC maintenance includes seasonal tune-ups for your furnace and air conditioner, checking components, cleaning systems, and assessing indoor air quality. For plumbing, we recommend annual inspections to check for leaks, test water pressure, and ensure fixtures like water heaters and sump pumps are functioning properly. These planned visits help extend the life of your equipment, improve performance, and can often identify small issues before they become expensive emergencies.

Absolutely. A jammed disposal is a frequent call we get from Leo homeowners. The humming sound usually means the motor is running but the impellers are stuck, often by a piece of silverware, a fruit pit, or accumulated grease. For safety, always turn off the power to the unit at the circuit breaker before attempting to look inside. Our technicians are equipped with specialized tools to safely clear the jam and manually rotate the impellers to free them. We'll also inspect the unit for any damage to the blades or motor and advise you on whether a repair or replacement is the most practical solution to get your kitchen back in working order.
