Tankless Water heaters Vs. Tank
Tankless Water Heater benefits:
No end to hot water supply during long showers, and back to back use
Lower energy bills. Since tankless water heaters heat your water on demand, there are no more large tanks of water to keep hot while not in use.
Longer Lifespan: A quality tankless such as Rinnai, lasts 15-20 years. Most tank heaters last 8-10 years.
Saves Space: Tankless unites mount on the wall, and take up less space
Reduces risk of tank leaks: Tankless heaters are safer because they do not store 40-60 gallons of water. There is also no risk of the tank itself rupturing and causing a flood.
Pex vs. Copper Pipes, which should you choose?
Pex has a lower installation cost
Pex can usually be installed at a faster pace
Pex is freeze resistant. It is more flexible, less likely to burst. Copper can split if it freezes.
Unlike Copper, Pex does not corrode
Copper pipe is UV resistant, Pex needs to be protected from the sunlight.
Pex is easy to repair and modify, Copper tends to be more labour intensive.
Pex lasts for 40-50 plus years. Copper lasts 50 plus years with the right weather conditions.
10 signs it’s time to call a plumber
You have no hot water
You have low water pressure: This can be caused by a hidden leak, mineral buildup, a faulty valve, problem with your municipal water supply.
You have slow or frequently clogged drains. This can be a small problem or a more serious issue in your homes drainage system.
Water leaks, big or small. Did you know even a small drip can cost you thousands of dollars over time? Repairing any leak early is usually less expensive than repairing damage that the leaks may cause.
Running toilets. A toilet that is running constantly NEEDS attention! This will cost you hundreds of dollars in water if not fixed properly.
Burst or frozen pipes.
Sewer Odours. Reasons very when it comes to sewer odour. These can include a dry drain trap, a damaged sewer pipe, a blocked vent, a sewer line issue and more.
Water Stains. Water stains on ceiling or walls often indicate a hidden leak. Early detection can help prevent structural repairs which tend to be more expensive.
Sump Pump Problems. If our sump pump runs constantly, make unusual noises, or will not turn on definitely do call a plumber! Your sump pump may not be protecting your house from heavy rain and ground water.
You’re renovating your home. Installing a new bathroom, kitchen, laundry room/sink, should always be done by a qualified plumber. Hiring a professional helps ensure the work meets local plumbing codes, and is completed safely.
