Cooling Service in Hickory, NC
Hickory summers bring long stretches of heat and humidity, and an air conditioner that falls behind turns a comfortable house sticky in a hurry. Roland Black’s NATE-certified technicians repair, maintain, and replace central air conditioners, heat pumps, and ductless systems, and as a Trane Authorized Dealer and American Standard Customer Care Dealer, we have access to dependable equipment when it’s time for something new. Whether you need help today or want to plan an upgrade before next summer, our full range of cooling services has you covered.
AC Repair
When your AC blows warm air, short-cycles, or won’t start at all, our technicians run a full diagnostic to find the point of failure, whether that’s a worn capacitor, a refrigerant leak, or a frozen coil. You get a clear explanation and pricing before the repair begins, and you also get the peace of mind that comes from working with a team that answers calls on a 24/7, 365 basis.
HVAC Repair
Weak airflow, rooms that run hot or cold, and a system that won’t respond to the thermostat can start in the blower, the controls, the ductwork, or the outdoor unit. Our HVAC repair visits cover the whole heating and cooling system, so we can trace the problem back to where it starts and fix it there.
AC Maintenance
A spring tune-up is the cheapest insurance against a mid-summer breakdown. During your maintenance visit, we clean the coils, check refrigerant charge and electrical connections, clear the condensate drain, and flag worn parts before they fail.
HVAC Maintenance
If you’d rather not juggle separate heating and cooling appointments, Our HVAC maintenance service covers the full system on a twice-a-year rhythm, servicing the cooling side in the spring and heating side in the fall. Each visit includes a safety and performance check, filter guidance, and a plain-language rundown of anything worth watching. The best part? Roland Black members get both visits as part of their membership.
AC Installation
A new air conditioner only performs as well as its installation. We size each system to your home’s layout and cooling needs, then set up Trane, American Standard, Goodman, or Mitsubishi Electric equipment to manufacturer specifications. New HVAC installations come with our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee, and qualifying systems carry 5- and 10-year parts and labor warranties, and financing is available.
HVAC Installation
When both the indoor and outdoor equipment are near the end of their service life, replacing the full system together usually beats piecing it together one component at a time. We’ll walk you through matched heating and cooling options, explain efficiency differences in plain terms, and handle the complete changeout, from removal through startup and testing, with the same guarantee and warranty protection as every new installation.
Mini-Split Repair
Ductless systems are dependable, but when an indoor head stops cooling, drips water, or flashes an error code, the room it serves gets uncomfortable quickly. We service ductless mini-splits, including Mitsubishi Electric systems, diagnose the indoor and outdoor units together, and get the zone running again, whether it’s a sunroom, a bonus room over the garage, or a finished basement.
Thermostat Repair
A thermostat that reads the wrong temperature, loses its settings, or stops talking to your equipment can make a healthy system look broken. We test the thermostat, wiring, and control signals to confirm where the problem sits, then repair or replace the control. If you’re ready for an upgrade, we can set you up with a smart thermostat you can adjust from your phone.
Ductless Installation
Ductless mini-splits fit spaces where running ductwork isn’t practical, like additions, garages, sunrooms, and older Hickory houses that were never built for central air. Each indoor unit runs as its own zone, so you can cool the rooms you use without conditioning the ones you don’t. We plan head placement for even coverage and a clean look on the wall.
Ductless Maintenance
Mini-split indoor units pull room air straight across their coils, so filters and blower wheels collect dust faster than many homeowners expect. Regular ductless maintenance keeps airflow strong, helps prevent drain clogs and musty odors, and catches small refrigerant or electrical issues before they shut a zone down.
Heating Service in Hickory, NC
Winters around Hickory swing between mild afternoons and sharp cold snaps, and the nights that dip below freezing are the ones that expose a weak furnace or heat pump. Roland Black repairs, maintains, and replaces furnaces, heat pumps, and complete heating systems, supporting local homeowners with NATE-certified technicians and 24/7 emergency availability every day of the year. Explore our full lineup of heating services, or give us a call. We’ll help you figure out what your system needs.
Furnace Repair
No heat, a furnace that cycles on and off, or a burner that lights and then shuts down are some of the most common cold-weather calls we get. Our technicians check ignition, flame sensors, limit switches, and blower operation to find the true fault, and they inspect the heat exchanger for safe operation along the way.
Heating Repair
Not sure what kind of heating system you have, or whether the problem is the equipment or the controls? Heating repair is our catch-all for any system that isn’t keeping the house warm, from uneven rooms to strange smells or noises at startup. We identify the system type, find what’s failing, and explain your options before any work starts.
Heat Pump Repair
Heat pumps handle both heating and cooling, so one failure can leave you uncomfortable in any season. Typical issues we see out in the field include a stuck reversing valve, a defrost cycle that won’t finish, or a unit that leans on expensive backup heat. We diagnose heat pumps in both modes and service the traditional and hybrid systems found throughout the area.
Furnace Maintenance
A fall furnace tune-up gets your system ready before the first cold night. We clean and inspect the burners, test ignition and safety controls, check the heat exchanger and venting, verify airflow, and address the filter. Regular maintenance keeps efficiency up and helps a furnace reach the end of its expected lifespan instead of failing early.
Heat Pump Maintenance
Since your heat pump works year-round, it’s important to stay up-to-date on its maintenance. Roland Black maintenance visits include cleaning the outdoor coil, checking refrigerant levels, testing the reversing valve and defrost controls, and confirming the backup heat strips engage properly. Our goal for this service is to make it the simplest way to keep a heat pump efficient through both a humid Hickory summer and a cold January.
Heating Maintenance
Our heating maintenance visit checks safety controls, thermostat response, and airflow across your whole system. It works for any setup, from a standard furnace or heat pump to a hybrid system that pairs the two. After it’s complete, you’ll get a full report of what’s working well, and what’s starting to wear.
Furnace Installation
An aging furnace that needs frequent repairs or raises safety concerns is usually ready to be replaced. Furnace replacement typically brings steadier heat and can lower operating costs. We help you choose an efficient model sized to your home, remove the old unit, and complete the installation with proper venting and airflow setup. Like every new HVAC system we put in, it’s backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee, and qualifying models add multi-year parts and labor coverage.
Heat Pump Installation
A new heat pump can take the place of both an aging air conditioner and an electric furnace with one efficient system. When it’s time to install or replace your heat pump, we size the unit for year-round performance in the foothills climate, pair it with the right indoor equipment, and set up the defrost and backup heat controls correctly from day one. Financing is available upon request, and every new HVAC installation is backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Heating Installation
Every heating installation starts with a visit to your home. We look at your current system, ask which rooms give you trouble, and talk through your budget. From there, we’ll tell you whether a repair can buy more time or a replacement makes more sense, then price out a furnace, heat pump, or dual-fuel system from Trane or American Standard.
Drain Service in Hickory, NC
A slow drain is easy to ignore until it turns into a complete drain backup. Roland Black’s plumbers clear clogs in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry lines, and main drains across Hickory, matching the tool to the blockage, from motorized cable machines to high-pressure hydrojetting. We’ll also show you the root cause of repeating or frequent clogs, so you can enjoy the peace that comes with a fix that’s built to last. See our complete list of drain services for additional details.
Drain Clearing
Hair, grease, soap scum, and food scraps are behind most household clogs. We clear sinks, tubs, showers, floor drains, and laundry lines, then run water to confirm everything flows the way it should. When a backed-up drain threatens water damage, our 24/7 emergency line means you can reach us at any hour.
Rooter Service
If you’re dealing with stubborn blockages and roots working into older lines, it’s time to consider rooter service. This type of drain service uses a motorized cable with cutting heads to break up the obstruction and restore flow. It’s often the first step for a main line that backs up into the lowest drains in the house, and it pairs well with a camera inspection when roots keep coming back.
Camera & Sewer Inspection
When you book a camera inspection service, we run a waterproof camera through your drain or sewer line to look for cracks, offsets, sags, root intrusion, and buildup. We also walk you through what the camera finds and give you a straight answer about whether the line needs cleaning, a targeted repair, or replacement. Many of our homeowners consider it to be a smart step before buying an older home in Hickory.
Hydro Jetting
When grease, scale, or sludge coats the inside of a pipe, a cable is only able to punch a hole through the middle; not fix it entirely. Hydrojetting uses high-pressure water to scour the pipe walls clean, restoring full flow and slowing the next buildup. We usually recommend it for kitchen lines and main drains with a history of repeat clogs, once a camera check confirms the pipe can handle it.
Sewer Line Service in Hickory, NC
Your sewer line carries every gallon of wastewater away from the house, so when it fails, every drain in the home feels it. Roland Black diagnoses sewer problems with a camera inspection first, then explains whether a repair or a full replacement makes the most sense for your property. Between the red clay soil common across the region and mature trees whose roots go looking for water, older lines around Hickory take real wear over the years. Give us a call to learn more about our sewer line services.
Sewer Line Repair
Gurgling drains, sewage odors, soggy patches in the yard, or backups in a basement shower are classic signs of a damaged sewer line. After pinpointing the location and cause with a camera, we repair the damaged section and restore proper flow. Sewer backups are a health hazard, so we treat them as emergencies and answer calls around the clock on a 24/7, 365-day basis.
Sewer Line Installation
Roland Black sewer line installation services cover the whole job: locating the line, removing the old pipe, laying new pipe at the correct slope, and testing the connection. We recommend this service when a line has collapsed, the pipe material is breaking down, or the damage runs too far for a section repair.
Indoor Air Quality in Hickory, NC
Comfort is about more than temperature. Spring pollen, summer humidity, and dry winter heat all shape how the air inside your Hickory home feels and how clean it is. Our indoor air quality services work with your existing HVAC system to filter, humidify, and move air more effectively, and our ductwork services make sure conditioned air actually reaches the rooms you’re paying to heat and cool.
Air Duct Cleaning
Over the years, ducts collect dust, pet dander, construction debris, and pollen that the system recirculates every time it runs. Air duct cleaning removes that buildup from supply and return lines, which can help with dusty rooms and allergy complaints.
Home Humidifier
Winter heating dries out indoor air, which can mean static shocks, scratchy throats, and gaps opening in hardwood floors and trim. A whole-home humidifier connects to your HVAC system and adds moisture evenly throughout the house, so you aren’t carrying portable units from room to room. When you contact Roland Black for home humidifier service, we size the unit, connect it to your system, and set the controls for a comfortable balance.
Air Duct Repair
Leaky, crushed, or disconnected ducts in a crawl space or attic can waste a meaningful share of the air your system produces before it ever reaches a vent. We seal leaks, repair or replace damaged sections, and reconnect loose runs so rooms at the end of the line finally get the airflow they need.
Air Duct Installation
New ductwork makes sense for additions, finished basements, or homes where the original duct design never delivered even comfort. We design runs that match your system’s capacity and your home’s layout, seal every connection, and balance the airflow so each room heats and cools the way it should.
Home Air Filtration
Standard filters catch larger dust particles, but whole-home air filtration goes further against fine dust, pollen, smoke, and dander. We recommend options that fit your system and household, from high-MERV filter upgrades to whole-house air purifiers, and we make sure any upgrade won’t restrict the airflow your equipment depends on.
Plumbing Service in Hickory, NC
From a running toilet to a leak hiding under the slab, plumbing problems tend to show up at inconvenient times. Roland Black’s licensed plumbers handle repairs, new fixtures, water quality systems, and well service for Hickory homes, whether your water comes from the city or a private well. After services are complete, we explain what we find, price the work before we start, and keep your home tidy as we go through each step of your fix. Give us a call to ask about our full range of plumbing services.
Plumbing Repair
Dripping faucets, leaking shutoff valves, noisy pipes, and fixtures that won’t drain or shut off all fall under general plumbing repair. One visit can usually knock out several small problems at once, and we’ll point out anything we notice along the way that deserves attention before it turns into water damage.
Plumbing Installation
Remodeling a bathroom, replacing old fixtures, or adding a utility sink or outdoor spigot? Our plumbing installation team handles faucets, fixtures, supply lines, and valves with code-compliant connections, so new plumbing works right on day one and keeps working.
Toilet Repair
A toilet that runs nonstop, rocks on the floor, leaks at the base, or clogs every week wastes water and can quietly damage the subfloor. We replace worn flappers, fill valves, and wax rings, reset loose toilets, and track down the cause of chronic clogs.
Toilet Installation
A new toilet can cut water use and end the cycle of repeat repairs. We remove the old unit, check the flange and floor for damage, set the new toilet level on a fresh seal, and connect a new supply line so it’s leak-free from the first flush.
Sink Repair
Slow drains, leaks under the cabinet, weak water flow, and worn-out faucets are the sink complaints we hear most. We repair or replace faucets, drain assemblies, P-traps, and supply lines in kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms, and we check the cabinet for water damage while we’re there.
Sink Installation
Whether you’re putting in a new kitchen sink during a countertop upgrade or adding a vanity to a remodeled bath, we handle the plumbing side of the project: including drain and trap configuration, supply connections, shutoff valves, and faucet mounting. We also provide you with a full leak test before we leave.
Shower Repair
Low pressure, a valve that won’t hold temperature, a shower head that drips all night, or water leaking behind the wall are all problems worth fixing quickly. We repair and replace shower valves, cartridges, and heads, and we can trace leaks behind tile before they damage the framing.
Garbage Disposal Repair
A disposal that hums but won’t spin, leaks from underneath, or keeps tripping its reset button usually has a jam, a loose connection, or an electrical fault. We clear the jam, fix the leak, and test the wiring. If the unit is worn out, we’ll recommend a new one instead of another repair.
Garbage Disposal Installation
We fit new disposals sized to how your household cooks, connect them to the sink drain and dishwasher line, and make sure the electrical connection is safe. It’s a quick upgrade that makes kitchen cleanup noticeably easier.
Leak Detection & Repair
If your water meter keeps moving with every faucet off, your bill jumps for no reason, or a damp spot on a wall or floor won’t dry, you likely have a hidden leak. We test the supply lines to narrow down where it is, then open the wall or floor right at that spot to make the repair.
Slab Leak Repair
Warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when nothing is on, or moisture along the baseboards can point to a leak in a line beneath your concrete slab. We confirm the leak’s location before any concrete is touched, then recommend the most practical fix, whether that’s a direct spot repair or rerouting the line around the slab.
Water Line Repair
The main water line between the meter and your house works under constant pressure, so a leak there can soften the yard, drop your water pressure, and drive up your bill. We locate the break, fix the failed stretch of pipe, and get full service back. If a line bursts and water is pouring into the yard or the house, call us any time, day or night.
Water Line Installation
Older service lines made from galvanized steel or early plastic can corrode, crack, or restrict flow. When patching no longer makes sense, we run a new service line from the meter to the house in modern piping, bringing back strong pressure and reliable water to the whole house.
Whole-Home Repiping
Frequent pinhole leaks, discolored water, or pressure that keeps dropping can mean your home’s supply pipes are reaching the end of their life, something we see often in older houses with original galvanized plumbing. Whole-home repiping replaces those lines with new piping throughout the house, and we plan the route to limit wall openings and patchwork.
Water Pressure Services
Pressure that’s too low makes showers frustrating, and pressure that’s too high strains fixtures, appliances, and pipe joints. We test your home’s pressure, repair or replace pressure regulators, clear restrictions, and fix whatever is driving the problem so water flows at a safe, comfortable level.
Sump Pump Repair
Heavy rain in the foothills can push groundwater toward basements and crawl spaces quickly, and a sump pump that fails mid-storm leaves your home exposed. We repair stuck float switches, failed motors, and clogged discharge lines, and we test the pump under load so you know it will run when the water rises.
Sump Pump Installation
Water in the basement or crawl space after every heavy rain means you need a sump pump, or a better one. We set the pump, adjust the float so it kicks on at the right water level, and run the discharge line far enough from the house that the water doesn’t drain back toward the foundation.
Water Softener Repair
When a water softener stops regenerating, burns through salt too fast, or lets spotting and scale creep back, it’s no longer protecting your plumbing. We service control valves, resin tanks, and brine systems to get softening back on track, then test your water to confirm the system is doing its job.
Water Softener Installation
Every water softener installation starts with a water test, since hardness varies between city water and private wells. We use the results and your household size to choose the right unit, then connect it with a bypass valve so you can still run water while it’s being serviced.
Water Filtration Repair
A filtration system that’s leaking, losing pressure, or letting tastes and odors return usually needs new cartridges, membranes, or valve service. We repair whole-home and point-of-use systems, replace worn components, and confirm your water quality is back where it should be.
Water Filtration Installation
Whether your concern is chlorine taste from city water or sediment and iron in well water, the right filtration system depends on what’s actually in your water. We start with testing, recommend a whole-home or point-of-use system that targets those issues, and set it up so it’s easy to maintain.
Well Repair
Plenty of homes on the rural edges of the Hickory area depend on private wells, and when the water stops, so does everything else. We troubleshoot pressure tanks, pressure switches, control boxes, and wiring to find out why your well isn’t delivering, then make the repair and restore service.
Well Pump Installation
A well pump that’s worn out, short-cycling, or unable to keep up with demand leaves the whole house with sputtering faucets, and a replacement restores steady pressure. We size the new pump to your well and household, pair it with the correct controls and pressure tank setup, and test the full system before we leave.
Water Heater Service in Hickory, NC
Searching for hot water services near you? Our plumbers repair, service, and replace both traditional tank water heaters and tankless systems in Hickory homes, and a heater that’s leaking or completely out of hot water qualifies for our 24/7 emergency service. Browse our water heater services, or give us a call and tell us what you’re seeing. We’ll set you up with a free inspection so that we can help you take your next right step.
Water Heater Repair
Lukewarm showers, rusty water, popping noises, or water pooling around the tank all point to a water heater that needs attention. We test heating elements, thermostats, gas controls, and valves. If a leaking tank can’t be saved, we’ll walk you through replacement options right away.
Water Heater Maintenance
Sediment settles at the bottom of every tank and makes the burner or elements work harder over time. Annual maintenance includes flushing the tank, testing the temperature and pressure relief valve, inspecting the anode rod, and checking connections, which helps the heater last longer and run more efficiently.
Tankless Water Heater Repair
Tankless units are efficient, but error codes, fluctuating temperatures, or a unit that shuts off mid-shower call for a technician who knows these systems. We diagnose ignition, flow sensor, and venting issues and get continuous hot water flowing again.
Tankless Water Heater Installation
Going tankless frees up floor space and heats water only when you need it. We evaluate your household’s hot water demand, gas or electrical capacity, and venting requirements before recommending a unit, so the system you choose can keep up with simultaneous showers and appliances.
Water Heater Installation
When a tank water heater reaches the end of its service life or starts leaking, replacement is the safest call. We help you choose the right capacity and fuel type, remove the old unit, and connect the new heater with proper venting, valves, and fittings to current code.
Tankless Water Heater Tune-Up
Mineral scale builds up inside a tankless heat exchanger over time, cutting efficiency and triggering error codes. A tankless tune-up includes descaling the heat exchanger, cleaning the inlet filter, and checking burner and venting performance, so the unit keeps delivering steady hot water.
Electrical & Generator Service in Hickory, NC
Summer thunderstorms and winter ice can knock out power across the Catawba Valley, and an aging electrical system can make everyday life harder even when the grid is fine. Roland Black sells and services Generac and Kohler standby generators and handles a wide range of residential electrical work, from panel upgrades and surge protection to lighting, outlets, and EV chargers. Our electrical and generator services keep your Hickory home powered and protected.
Generator Repair
If your standby generator shows a fault code, won’t finish its scheduled exercise cycle, or didn’t start during the last outage, it won’t be ready for the next one. We check the battery, engine, transfer switch, and controls, find the failed part, and fix it. We take generator calls 24/7, including during outages.
Generator Installation
A whole-home standby generator keeps heating or cooling, refrigeration, well pumps, and medical equipment running when the grid goes down. We handle Generac and Kohler generator installation from start to finish, sizing the unit to your essential loads, setting the automatic transfer switch, and coordinating the fuel connection so backup power comes on by itself.
Electrical Repair
Flickering lights, warm outlets, breakers that trip repeatedly, or a burning smell from a switch plate are warning signs that shouldn’t wait. We trace electrical faults safely, repair damaged wiring and connections, and correct the underlying cause so the problem doesn’t keep coming back.
Electrical Installation
From new circuits for a kitchen remodel to dedicated lines for appliances, a workshop, or a hot tub, electrical installation adds capacity where your home needs it. We plan each circuit for the load it will carry and wire it to code, so new equipment runs safely without overloading the rest of the house.
Electrical Panel Upgrade
Older homes often have panels that were never designed for today’s air conditioners, appliances, and EV chargers. If your panel is undersized, out of space for new breakers, or an outdated model, an upgrade adds capacity and modern protection. We handle the full replacement, including coordination with the power company when the work requires it.
Electrical Panel Services
Not every panel needs replacing. Panel services cover inspections, tightening loose connections, replacing damaged breakers, labeling circuits, and correcting overheating or corrosion, so the panel you have stays safe and reliable. If an upgrade turns out to be the better long-term choice, we’ll explain why.
Circuit Breaker Installation
A breaker that won’t reset, trips under normal use, or feels warm to the touch may be failing. We replace faulty breakers, add breakers for new circuits, and put AFCI and GFCI protection in place where it improves safety, all matched to your panel’s make and rating.
Surge Protection
Lightning and utility switching can send voltage spikes through your wiring that damage HVAC controls, appliances, and electronics in an instant. A whole-home surge protector mounted at the panel limits surges where power enters the house, adding a layer of protection that plug-in strips can’t provide on their own.
EV Charger Installation
A Level 2 home charger can recharge most electric vehicles overnight, far faster than a standard outlet. We confirm your panel can handle the added load, run a dedicated circuit, and mount the charger in your garage or by the driveway so it’s ready when you plug in.
Lighting Installation
New lighting changes how a room looks and works. We handle recessed lights, pendants, under-cabinet fixtures, and exterior and security lighting, including the wiring, switches, and dimmers that make everything work together cleanly.
Lighting Repair
Fixtures that flicker, buzz, or stay dark despite a new bulb usually point to a wiring, switch, or fixture problem. We troubleshoot indoor and outdoor lighting circuits, repair or replace faulty components, and get your lights working reliably again.
Ceiling Fan Installation
A ceiling fan lets you feel cooler at a higher thermostat setting in summer and helps circulate warm air in winter. We mount fans on properly rated boxes, add wall controls or remotes, and can swap an existing light fixture for a fan-and-light combination.

Hickory HVAC, Plumbing & Electrical FAQs
Do you offer emergency service in Hickory?
Yes. Roland Black answers calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for urgent problems like no heat, no cooling, burst pipes, sewer backups, and generators that fail during an outage. Emergencies move to the front of the line, and we can often fit routine visits in the same day or on a weekend when the schedule has room. Call (980) 206-3523 to request service any time.
Are your technicians licensed and certified?
Yes. Roland Black is licensed and insured, with technicians working throughout North and South Carolina. Our HVAC technicians hold NATE certification and take part in ongoing training, and we’re a Trane Authorized Dealer and American Standard Customer Care Dealer. Members of our team also speak Spanish, so you can talk through repairs and options in the language you’re most comfortable with.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my heating or cooling system?
It depends on the system’s age, repair history, efficiency, and how well it keeps your home comfortable. If a system is more than a decade old, needs repairs frequently, or struggles during the hottest and coldest weeks, replacement is often worth comparing. Our technicians lay out both paths with honest pricing estimates you can trust.
What warranties come with a new HVAC system?
Every new HVAC installation from Roland Black includes our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee. You’re also covered by a 5- or 10-year parts and labor warranty on qualifying equipment. We review the specific coverage for your system during the proposal so you know exactly what’s protected before you decide.
Do you offer financing?
Yes. Financing is available for many larger projects, including HVAC system replacements, and we run promotions at different times of the year. Our team can explain the available plans so you can choose a payment approach that fits your household.
Do you work on private wells around Hickory?
Yes. We repair wells and replace well pumps for homes that rely on private water, including troubleshooting pressure tanks, pressure switches, and control boxes. We can also test your water and recommend filtration or softening if the results show sediment, iron, or hardness that’s affecting your plumbing or the taste of your water.
What generator brands do you work with?
We sell and service Generac and Kohler standby generators. Every generator project starts with sizing the unit to the circuits you want covered during an outage, such as heating or cooling, refrigeration, and well pumps, and includes an automatic transfer switch so the system starts on its own when the power goes out.
Can you replace a damaged sewer line at my Hickory home?
Yes. We start with a camera inspection to confirm the condition of the line and where the damage is. If a section repair will solve the problem, we’ll recommend that. If the line has collapsed or failed along its length, we’ll replace it with new pipe and test the connection before we finish.
