FAQ

Common questions

Are the pros licensed?

We connect you with independent licensed, insured contractors. New Mexico requires CID licensing for plumbing and mechanical work — we recommend verifying any license at rld.nm.gov; see our guide.

Tank or tankless for Rio Rancho?

It depends on your usage, gas service and water hardness. Cold winter inlet water and altitude both affect sizing here — a licensed pro can run the numbers for your home before you decide.

How do I protect my water heater and lines in a Rio Rancho winter?

Insulate lines in unconditioned spaces, keep the heater's area above freezing, and winterize any property that sits empty. Zone 5B cold snaps find every unprotected run.
