Being energy efficient isn’t just a trend, it is the smart way to go when you are thinking about updates in your home. Energy efficiency saves on resources, money out of your pocket, plus it is better for the world around you. That’s why when you are thinking about replacing your hot water heater, you should think about going with a tankless hot water heater.

  • Saves you space. No more big, bulky tank taking up room in your basement. A tankless water heater will take up much less space than a conventional water heater. If you are trying to live simply, that will be a big advantage. You can even store certain tankless units outside, if you live in the right climate.
  • Longer warranty. The tankless hot water heaters can have three times longer warranty than a traditional water heater. This will also likely mean that it will last a lot longer, saving you the headache of replacing it.
  • Less landfill waste. The traditional hot water tank, needs to be replaced more often and gets put in the landfill to sit and rust away for many years. Some of the tankless hot water heaters have recyclable components and parts, which makes this decision even easier!

Do your own research to find out if going with a tankless hot water heater is the way you want to head towards energy effieciency in your home. Then make sure you call a professional plumber to get it hooked up correctly. Getting your tankless hot water heater set up so it will vent correctly, will be key.

Four Common Items That Cause Drain Clogs

Comments Off on Four Common Items That Cause Drain Clogs

What goes in, must come out, can be a key phrase to many things in life, including your drain plumbing. That is why you need to be careful what goes in your drain, because it many not make it out so easily! Here are four regularly disposed of items that should NOT go down your drains:

  1. Grease. Grease may slide down your drain quite well, especially when it’s warm. The problem is that it can cool quickly and make a mess in your pipes, making it much easier for clogs to begin.
  2. If you have anyone with long hair in your home, you may know about hair clogs. Sure hair can make it down the drain, but it won’t get too far before catching on something. Then it will accumulate quickly, as will your draining problems.
  3. It may be tempting just to scrape those last little crumbs from dinner down your sink drain, but you will soon find out that it is a big no-no. Food can get caught in your drains, cause a clog, or start to rot. That would stink!
  4. Cotton. Many people believe that if they use it in the bathroom and its a cotton disposable, it can be flushed. Not much is meant to fit down your toilet drain. Most packaging will let you know whether or not something can be flushed.

Have you made the mistake of flushing one of these common items down your drain? Don’t be embarrassed! We all learn from our mistakes. In the meantime, you can rely on a professional plumber to get your drains and plumbing clog free, so that you can be worry free.

Comments Off on How to Choose a Reputable Plumber

When it comes to having someone work on your home, you want to choose someone who cares as much as you do about your investment. Using someone that has the cheapest prices or that is your best friend’s uncle can turn out to be a big mistake. That’s why when you have plumbing issues you are going to want to find someone who you can trust, but who is also good at what they do. Here are a few key qualities you might look for in a reputable plumber:

  • Yes, of course you’ll want to ask your friends who they suggest, because you trust them. Just make sure that person has actually done some good work for them and isn’t a new face that they are trying to publicize.
  • Quality Workmanship. Talk to the plumber and make sure he stands by his work. He should be willing to take his time to do a job well and use quality parts to make the fix last a long time.
  • Fair Pricing. In this line of work, you might get what you pay for. Don’t go the cheap route to save a few pennies. Be willing to go with a professional plumber for an extra few bucks, because it will likely save you money down the road.

Looking at just one of these characteristics, will not get you the plumber you want for the job. Combining all three and thinking through a few more like, honesty and availability, will help you find the best man, or woman, for the job. You don’t want just any Joe Plumber working on your home; pick someone who will care for it like you do.
