TANKLESS WATER HEATERS
Energy efficiency is becoming more important as every year goes by. When it comes to hot water heaters, a tankless model is about as energy efficient as you can get. However, there are some pitfalls that you need to avoid when considering tankless water heater options.
ARE TANKLESS WATER HEATERS EXPENSIVE?
Some people think that tankless water heaters are expensive to install. Although the initial cost might be higher than a traditional water heater, the long-term savings more than make up for those initial costs. That’s especially true since a tankless water heater can last almost twice as long as a regular tank water heater.
FINDING A REPUTABLE INSTALLER
Because the tankless water heater installation is a complex one (the two types of water heater systems are totally different), switching from one to the other requires a plumbing expert with experience in these potentially hazardous conversion installations.
Plumbing Service Professionals is here to take care of that problem for you. Our journeyman and master plumbers have all of the training necessary to handle any tankless water heater installation. What’s even better than that is that they are familiar with some of the issues that can arise in older Raleigh-area homes. Taking all of that into account, they can easily handle the tankless water heater installation for you.
DON’T FALL FOR SCAM ARTISTS
It might be surprising to you, but there are actually a lot of scam artists out there who claim to have all of the certifications necessary to install tankless water heaters safely and according to code standards. It makes sense, since even scam artists can recognize the potential of this type of home heating technology. There are even plumbers who actually mean well, but simply don’t realize that they don’t have the expertise to install such heating systems properly. In either case, that can lead to poor installations and quite a few potential safety and code violation problems.
Here at Plumbing Service Professionals, we will do everything we can to make your tankless water heater installation as quick and stress-free as possible using the latest plumbing-related technologies. We have experts on staff who have all of the certifications necessary, and they also have the insights and information needed to make every tankless water heater installation a success.
WATER FILTRATION SYSTEMS
Many homes experience water problems that can be vastly improved by a water filtration system.
WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF NEEDING A WATER FILTRATION SYSTEM?
- A filmy haze on your drinking glasses
- Whitish scaly deposits on your faucets, shower doors or tea kettle
- Dry, dull skin and hair
- Whites that turn yellow in the wash, and colors that fade
- Scaly deposits you can’t see, but nevertheless are damaging the inside of your pipes, dishwasher, and other appliances
OTHER COMMON PROBLEMS REQUIRING TREATMENT
Acidic Water – Water with a low pH factor (less than 6.5) can be highly acidic and corrosive. If, for example, you notice a blue-green stain on your laundry, sinks or drains, chances are your water needs to be treated. Acidic water also can leach unhealthy levels of metal ions – such as lead, manganese, and copper – into your fresh water supply.
Excess Iron – How can you tell if there’s too much iron in your water? By the brown stains in your toilet or on your clothes…definitely not a pretty sight.
Chemical Contamination – This is the most serious of all water problems. Excess levels of radon, industrial waste, chlorine, and other chemicals can cause serious health issues…the kind, though, that can readily be avoided.
BENEFITS OF AN EASY WATER SYSTEM
Protects Your Home – All of your appliances and fixtures will be protected against scale build-up, low pH, and iron residue – that means they work a full capacity for longer!
Healthier Living – Hard water problems are removed without removing beneficial minerals or adding sodium to your water
Saves You Money – Compared to other filtration systems, you won’t have to worry about purchasing expensive salts or chemicals on a monthly basis
