Norfolk HVAC & Plumbing Contractors

Norfolk homes frequently experience drain clogs, leaking fixtures, water heater troubles, running toilets, and low water pressure. Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles can also cause pipe damage. Catching these issues early through regular maintenance saves money. If your drains are slow or you hear odd sounds from pipes, contact G&C before minor problems become major repairs.

Schedule heating maintenance before winter (ideally in September or October) and cooling maintenance before summer (April or May). This proactive approach prevents breakdowns during peak seasons, maintains efficiency, protects manufacturer warranties, and reduces operating costs. Our Priority Plan includes automatic scheduling so you never miss maintenance.

Tankless water heaters cost more upfront but deliver significant benefits: unlimited hot water supply, energy savings around 34% compared to tank models, extended lifespan exceeding 20 years, space efficiency, and lower flood risk. Most Norfolk homeowners recoup the additional cost through energy savings within several years.

Consider replacement if your system exceeds 15 years old, requires repairs multiple times per season, causes noticeable spikes in utility bills, or fails to maintain comfortable temperatures. New high-efficiency equipment can reduce Norfolk heating and cooling costs by 40% while providing better comfort and reliability.

Ductless systems provide room-by-room temperature control, operate efficiently without ductwork energy losses, install without major home modifications, run exceptionally quietly, and include built-in air filtration. They’re ideal for home additions, properties without existing ducts, or rooms with specific temperature requirements.

Effective solutions include whole-home air purification systems, professional duct cleaning to remove accumulated contaminants, maintaining humidity between 30-50%, changing filters monthly, and installing UV light systems when appropriate. We’ll evaluate your home’s air quality and suggest targeted improvements.

Immediately shut off water supply to the affected area using the nearest shutoff valve, or turn off your home’s main water supply if needed. Then call G&C for emergency service. Add our number to your phone contacts now for quick access during emergencies. Fast action minimizes water damage.

Warning signs include recurring leaks in multiple locations, brownish or rust-colored water, fluctuating water pressure, visible rust or corrosion on exposed pipes, or original plumbing in homes built before 1990. Galvanized and polybutylene pipes commonly fail and warrant replacement. Our inspection will determine if repiping is necessary.
