Customer: Hi!
Monica: Hello, how are you doing?  I’m Monica. Now, I own Village Plumbing, and Trolyn and Alfredo told me that you needed some work done, and that you were working extra hours to pay for it?
Customer: Yeah.
Monica: Well, what if we did it for free?
Customer: (Surprised)…that would be wonderful.

Customer: That would be wonderful.

Village Discusses Heater Safety on KPRC Houston, Channel 2 News

by

Village Plumbing HVAC Technician Bryan Simpson on KPRC

Simpson discusses heater safety, carbon monoxide detectors and more with *KPRC’s Anousha Rasta.

Many of you may stay indoors and most likely turn your heaters on for the first time since last winter to stay warm. That’s why it’s important to remember how to use those heaters safely, so the equipment doesn’t spark a fire in your home.

Simpson says: “Try not to go to sleep with them on. No kerosene heaters.” Simpson recommends keeping anything that can burn at least 2 to 3 feet away from your heaters or furnaces before you turn them on. “People use their attics for storage. That’s where most of the heaters are. You just want to go up there and make sure that it has clearance,” Simpson says.

Bryan tells us you should also check your furnace’s filter and change it when it’s dirty. For space heaters, don’t plug them into extension cords, but instead, straight into the outlet on the wall. And don’t forget your carbon monoxide detector: “First and foremost you want o check to make sure your detector’s batteries are fresh.”

Village Plumbing also recommends you hire a professional to check your furnace at least once every year. In fact, the Village Partner Plan is on sale for $99 which includes a thorough furnace and AC check every year, and a plumbing visit too. Call (713) 526-1491 for details.

*as reported by KPRC: Colder weather a reminder to check safety of heaters

Racing for a Reason

triathleteTriathlete John Barth is racing for a reason. A victim himself of a debilitating disease called Cervical Dystonia (Spasmodic Torticollis), Barth is thankful for a support team that has helped him  fight back, while raising money for the cause. Barth along with Team BluFrog  has put up a web page dedicated to raise awareness, and garner support for his upcoming September 7 race, where he states:

“During my initial treatment and lifestyle adjustment, at the suggestion of my neurologist and physical therapy team, I began to swim a little and walk a lot. One thing led to another, and the idea of training for triathlons was born as a way to raise money and awareness.”

StreamNPLogoImage-250x95John Barth is also a very dear friend to Village Plumbing & Homer Services, who  has reached out to the VP family in the most loving and unselfish ways. We want to encourage all our friends to root for  him, as he races for a reason, and consider helping him achieve his and his team’s fundraising goal. By clicking the NSTA logo you’ll go to  John’s  TeamBluFrog Races for NSTA page, where you can learn more, and if you feel led to help,  there is a  Sponsor Me button there. We thank you very much for reading this, and for caring.
