Boiler 101.

There may be far more interesting topics, but you need to know the signs when the boiler in your home is about to go out.  What is the average lifespan of a boiler.  For most homeowners it is between 10 and 15 years.  It has such a wide variable because of the amount of use it gets.  In the Coeur D’Alene and Spokane lean toward 10 years because of our climate.

Here are some signs that your boiler is about to fail –

1.  The most obvious sign is that there is NO hot water.
2.  Maybe the water is hot, but the water pressure is lower.
3.  Strange banging noises are coming from your boiler.
4.  The pilot light keeps going out.

Sometimes, a DIY move is the right one.  When you need a professional to keep your boiler boiling or to replace it entirely call on A River City Plumbing serving Southeast Washington and Northwest Idaho.  For all of your plumbing needs here are the numbers to call (509) 954-6567 in Spokane or (208) 659-6565 in Coeur D’Alene.

Installing a Commercial Plumbing System.

This can be a big project and you want to make sure that you have chosen the right company to do the job and guarantee the work.  That means a local company that keeps its employees up-to-the-minute with the latest innovations in the world of plumbing.  The assignment should NOT be beyond their normal reach.

Here are some points to follow when vetting the right company –


1.  Get a free estimate
2.  Ask specifically on a ballpark time when the job will be completed
3.  What are their parts and labor guarantees
4.  Get it in writing

When the time comes (and 2019 may be just the year) you would do well in considering A River City Plumbing for that commercial plumbing installation project.  The task ahead needs the touch of a pro.  That professional team is A River City Plumbing.  They have been taking care of commercial and residential plumbing needs for years.  Call them at (509) 954-6567 in Spokane or (208) 659-6565 in Coeur D’Alene.

If you are Dreaming of a White Christmas…You may be in Luck!

Historically, Spokane is one of the more likely cities to enjoy a White Christmas.  So, what is the probability of having a white blanket on the ground around here on December 25th.  It turns out to be 57% likely.  The key to our success in this area is that we live well inland in the Evergreen State.

So, what about our neighbor to the east Coeur D’Alene?  The Idaho side of this scenario is a straight up 50/50.  Technically speaking, if there is at least one inch of snow on the ground on Christmas Day it is considered a “White Christmas”.  Not so long ago in 2008 there was 20 inches of snow on the ground in Spokane on Christmas Day!

Whatever the weatherman has in store for us this holiday season, we at A River City Plumbing will be here to service your needs during the holidays in 2019 and beyond.  When you need us, we will be there to service your plumbing needs.  Please visit our website at www.arivercityplumbingservice.com.  From all of us Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
