Highland’s Trusted Experts for Plumbing, High-Efficiency HVAC, and Water Quality

Highland Plumbing Solutions: Hard Water & Pressure Management

Highland homes deal with some of the hardest water in Utah County, alongside complex pressure and drainage issues unique to the area's development. Our expertise is focused on proactive protection and essential repairs.

• Water Pressure Regulating Valve (PRV) Service: Many Highland residents experience unexpected low water pressure, which is often traced back to a failing PRV clogged with mineral scale from hard water. We specialize in diagnosing, repairing, and replacing your PRV to restore correct water flow and protect your entire plumbing system from potential pressure damage.
• Hard Water Damage Mitigation: Highland water contains high levels of mineral hardness, rapidly depositing scale inside pipes, faucets, and water-using appliances. We provide comprehensive solutions, including chemical-free descaling and expert water softener installation, to prevent clogs and extend the life of your fixtures and appliances.
• Sewer & Drain Maintenance (Tree Root Intrusion): Properties in older or established neighborhoods are at risk of sewer line clogs caused by tree root intrusion. We use advanced sewer camera inspection to locate blockages and offer efficient, non-invasive solutions like hydro-jetting to clear lines and prevent costly backups.

High-Efficiency HVAC & Year-Round Comfort

With Highland's chilly winters and hot, dry summers, efficiency is paramount. We focus on maintenance and installation of high-performance systems to keep your utility bills low and your home comfortable.

• High-Efficiency Furnace & AC Installation: Highland’s extreme temperature swings put stress on average HVAC equipment. We specialize in installing high-SEER AC units and high-AFUE furnaces that are properly sized for your specific home, maximizing comfort while minimizing the energy required to heat and cool your large living spaces.
• Precision Seasonal Tune-Ups: Preventative maintenance is non-negotiable for system longevity in this climate. Our semi-annual Heating and Cooling Tune-Ups ensure all components—from the furnace’s heat exchanger to the AC’s coils—are clean, calibrated, and ready to withstand peak demand without failing or consuming excessive energy.
• Zoning & Ductwork Optimization: To ensure even heating and cooling throughout multi-story Highland homes, we offer HVAC zoning systems and expert duct sealing/repair. This prevents costly air loss, eliminates hot and cold spots, and allows you to customize temperatures for different areas of your home.

Water Treatment and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Focus

Investing in water quality and clean air is essential for protecting your home and family's health against Highland's hard water and regional air quality issues.

• Custom Water Softener Installation: Given the region's intense water hardness, a professionally installed and sized water softener is a crucial investment. We assess your water usage and hardness level to recommend the ideal salt-based or salt-free system, ensuring soft water throughout your home for better appliance performance and softer skin/hair.
• Water Heater Protection and Replacement: Hard water sediment is the leading cause of water heater failure in Highland. We provide regular tank flushing and anode rod inspection to prolong your unit's life. When replacement is due, we install durable tanked and tankless water heaters built to handle high mineral content.
• Air Filtration and Humidification: Utah’s dry air, combined with seasonal inversions, makes indoor air quality a priority. Our IAQ services include high-grade HEPA filtration systems, UV air purifiers, and whole-house humidifiers to manage dry air, reduce allergens, and protect your respiratory health.
