"RightNow Plumbing reliably provides competent, scrupulous, trustworthy service. Recently I engaged Andy to service our well-water acid neutralizer tank, because I questioned the reliability of service by another company 13 months earlier. Andy tested our water and found that its pH value was 6.97, which was consistent with previous readings over the past six months when he did other work for us. Because our well-water pH is essentially neutral, Andy explained the acid neutralizer tank is not necessary. He offered two options: 1) remove the tank (thus leaving us with only the water softener tank) or 2) empty it, which option I selected. He also reduced the cost of the service call. Andy’s approach starkly contrasts with the other company that for years took advantage of an unsuspecting customer by charging almost $300 to “service” the tank and unnecessarily adding expensive calcite. For competent, scrupulous, trustworthy service, call RightNow Plumbing. Posted May 14, 2025"

The AES Team has 15 employees with 8 trucks to provide quality Heating/Cooling & Plumbing services 24/7. The AES team is committed to hiring and retaining some of the most qualified technicians in the area, with a minimum of 10 years experience. We make training a priority for our technicians and their helpers. We keep the vans stocked with many replacement parts to get you back up and running during our first visit.
"Needed to replace a 25+ year old HVAC system in the coldest months of the year, so I contacted Advanced Environment Solutions for a bid. I worked with Tammy at AES to schedule the inspection, follow-up, etc. - a fantastic employee. Courteous, professional, and really knows her stuff when it comes to HVAC. Unfortunately, I live in a condo with a tricky indoor/outdoor HVAC set-up that ended up requiring a fairly specific indoor unit that AES did not offer, so I had to go with another company. Still I felt compelled to leave a review for AES and Tammy to highlight their professionalism and service-oriented approach. WiIll absolutely consider AES for future projects."

Water heater repair or services FAQs
Flushing your water heater helps prevent mineral deposits from building up. It removes sediment that would otherwise insulate the heating element and slow heat transfer. Proactive maintenance ensures that your water heater maintains a consistent temperature while operating efficiently and extends its lifespan so you have a long-term, dependable hot water source.
Plan on flushing your water heater once a year. If you have hard water with high calcium levels, consider flushing it twice a year to keep it running smoothly. Regular flushing helps prevent sediment buildup, ensures that reliable hot water is readily available, and extends the life of your water heater.
If you notice unusual noises from your water heater, inconsistent water temperatures, rusty or cloudy water, leaks near the drain valve, or higher utility bills, it's time to flush your water heater. These signs indicate that sediment buildup is affecting your heater’s performance. Professional flushing service can help restore your water heater’s efficiency and prevent further issues.
