It's easy to overlook the thermostats in your home. They are designed to be inconspicuous, and today's models are rarely much larger than a cell phone. However, these small units are an essential part of comfort in a home, since they are your connection point to the HVAC system. A malfunctioning thermostat can mean severe problems in your home, and even an outdated one can lead to nuisances and inflated utility bills. Without a working thermostat, you don't have a working heating and cooling system.

Flooding is not an uncommon occurrence here in North Carolina. If you have ever had a basement or crawl space flood before, you know what an absolute nightmare it is to repair the water damage. The trouble is doubled if you have to replace any appliances that might have been in the area, like water heaters. Fortunately, you don't have to hope that your basement or crawl space won't flood next time a massive storm rolls in. You can protect your home from flooding using a device called a "sump pump."

Cold water can come as a shock when you've hopped into what you expect to be a nice hot shower! While water heaters are highly effective at helping us stay warm when we need it, they may need repairs from time to time-and ignoring a repair can be quite uncomfortable to deal with! Repairs to hot water hearts can help fix leaks, prevent damage, and improve the overall efficiency of your system. We believe that you shouldn't have to face the same problem again in a few months. That is why we stand by our repairs, so you can stand by us.

The standard way homes receive heating and cooling during the year is with a combination of a central air conditioner and furnace in a cabinet that uses a single blower fan. But there is a way that homes can enjoy heating and cooling using only a single system. It's called a heat pump, and it offers a number of advantages beyond providing the convenience of year-round comfort. Bud Matthews Services has worked with heat pumps for many years, so no matter if you are considering having a heat pump installed for the first time in your home or you are looking for repairs for an older heat pump, you can turn to us to get the job done.

Any time you turn your stove, oven, furnace, or possibly even your fireplace on, you're probably using natural gas. Natural gas appliances are quite popular across the country for several reasons. Natural gas generates quite a bit of heat relative to the amount of fuel consumed and happens to be cheap as well. You can find natural gas lines in most cities, and all you need is a line from your home to the gas main. If you need gas line services of any kind, we can help you. Bud Matthews Services provides gas line services near Chapel Hill and the surrounding areas.

The floors in your home need to serve two essential purposes: first, they give you a place to walk that isn't dirt or plywood, and second, they add ambiance and character to your home.

Our experts can help you choose and install brand new flooring, repair existing flooring, replace damaged flooring, or even add some beautiful custom carpentry work to make your floors stand out.

A heat pump water heater uses a different means of warming your household water than the traditional methods. Heat pumps function like refrigerators only in reverse: using refrigerant to warm the water in the heater before distributing it to your home. It's quite efficient, using much less energy than traditional water heaters and saving you a great deal of money in the process. But it also means that specific knowledge is needed to install, repair, and maintain them properly. Contact Bud Matthews Services with any issues surrounding your heat pump water heater in Chapel Hill, NC.

We often see several different types of water heaters, but for most people, the traditional model is still the best. Tank water heaters provide a no-fuss reliable service and usually do their jobs without complaint. But just because your water heater is low-stress doesn't mean you can ignore its periodic requirements. That usually means a regular maintenance session to keep it running at its peak, but it can also mean repair sessions called in quickly when it breaks down, and installation or replacement when the time comes to put in a new one.

Have you ever noticed water coming up from under the first floor of your house? What about a wet spot on the carpet that never seems to go away? If so, you may have a slab leak.

That's why we offer comprehensive slab leak services throughout Chapel Hill, NC. If you need a slab leak detected or repaired, call us right away and schedule an appointment.

When looking for alternatives to the classical tank water heater model, many people look to tankless water heaters to meet their needs. As the name suggests, tankless water heaters do their jobs without the cylindrical tanks most of us associate with water heaters in general. They offer several advantages over tank models, but their systems include some unique features, which can baffle unqualified technical services sent to install, repair, or maintain them. That's why you can trust us to do the job right.

You use your plumbing system to supply potable water throughout your home. This allows you many incredible conveniences, such as showering quickly in the morning to washing veggies for dinner without any hassle. On the other end of matters, though, is the drain and sewer side of your plumbing system.

Many heartfelt thanks to the people I talked with on the phone late this afternoon who were concerned enough to send Pat over to check on our frozen pipes and dripping shower. Pat was so kind and professional and fixed. Bud Mathew responded to our call even though it was made during the weekend. Plumber came to the house, identified the problem, gave us a temporary fix and suggested we wait until Monday to fix it. That saved us some. Repair people were punctual and cordial. They troubleshot a problem, trying different approaches when the first try didn't work to clear the line.

Furnaces are the most common heaters in the U.S. for one important reason: they work! When you walk into a heated home, chances are that the appliance responsible for keeping it warm is a furnace. Furnaces are generally reliable and prompt, and the cost of installation tends to be lower than that of installing a similarly sized alternative whole-home heating system. Our specialists know that furnace installation involves a lot of time and thought. You don't want to simply look for the best deal without considering the brand of the system, the efficiency rating, and its size.

We all know the saying that "good fences make good neighbors." We can't attest to that, but what our experts can tell you is that the right fence on your property can make a massive difference in both look and function. There are a lot of options available for homeowners to choose a new fence, but not every option is going to be a good fit for your home. This is where our experts come in. We can recommend the right type of fencing and the right kind of fencing material to make your yard the showcase it should be.

We depend on our household appliances to make life easier for us, especially in the kitchen where food is prepared and appliances like dishwashers and ovens turn arduous tasks into simple ones. But when things go wrong with them, their ease of use can become a giant pain. Replacing them means considerable expense, but repairing them requires a handyman's service, and you can't always be sure that the company you're contacting as the skills or experience to do the job. You need a company that can do it all: installing new appliances, repairing them when needed, keeping them well-maintained and replacing them when the time comes.

Modern residential air conditioning technology is remarkable, and if installed and maintained correctly should protect a family's comfort for many years. However, only professionals are qualified to handle working with air conditioners. If your home needs a new AC, or if the current air conditioner requires repair work, you cannot rely on amateurs or DIY work. Pick up the phone and call for licensed HVAC technicians to take on the job. You can always rely on the experienced team at Bud Matthews Services for all your air conditioning needs.

Water heaters have a very basic, yet fundamental purpose in our households. Hot water allows for cooking, cleaning and bathing: the foundations of civilization, all brought to you by a cylindrical tube located in your basement or garage. Water heaters have branched out and now utilize different systems for performing the same task, but old-fashioned tank models still remain in wide use. And no matter what type of water heater you have, you need a service that can install, repair and maintain it to keep it running at its best.

Many heartfelt thanks to the people I talked with on the phone late this afternoon who were concerned enough to send Pat over to check on our frozen pipes and dripping shower. Pat was so kind and professional and fixed our issues right away. He gave us excellent advice on how to prevent this during such cold weather in the future. Bud Matthews Services has earned our business. Thanks so much again! He went out and got different parts and went the extra mile to make everything work perfectly. They were professional, honest, and cleaned-up after their work, and even took the shop-vacuum around the living room for good measure (we have a GSD - say no more)!
