Without Hot Water Winters Can Be Cold!

We’ve all had this experience at some point in our lives that you get up in the morning anticipating a relaxing hot bath, only to discover that the water is incredibly cold when you activate the hot water system. The fact that insulation furnaces and water heaters are connected throughout a residential property further emphasizes the significance of high-quality water heaters that produce hot water when necessary.


Without access to warm water, winters can be quite tough. Have you ever wondered how humans managed to survive before water boilers were created? Simple heating of the water in large pots or on a stove was followed by transfer to buckets for use. Now that technology has advanced, we have a water heater system.

Gas Appliance Pipe Lengths

Gas Valves

Gas appliances are a great option for home heating and cooling. They are also cheaper to operate than electric devices. Each gas appliance in your home should have its own service shutoff valve. These are typically located within six feet of the appliance and allow you to turn off the gas without cutting off the supply to the entire house.


The main gas shutoff valve is usually located just outside of the home near the natural gas meter. It should have been installed by the gas company when your home was built or updated over the years. Look for a device with a rectangular handle in the street or sidewalk outside your home. This is called a house-side valve and contact Oak Park Plumbing Services since this should be operated only by a licensed professional.

The installation of gas appliances is a highly technical job, which requires training and expertise. If you don't have the qualifications to do it correctly, you could be putting your home and family at risk. It is recommended that you hire Oak Park Plumbing Services, a licensed plumber, to do your gas appliance installation.

Any property that uses gas for heating, cooking, or water heaters will need to undergo periodic inspections to ensure that everything is working as it should. These inspections will help you diagnose potential problems with the gas lines and prepare for any necessary repairs. This will also keep your property safe and efficient.
