FAQ
1. Should I Convert My Water Heater System to Tankless Technology?
It depends on your home’s hot-water needs, existing plumbing system, available space, and budget.
Tankless water heaters heat water on demand instead of continuously heating and storing water in a tank. They can provide an energy-efficient option and take up less space than traditional tank-style water heaters.
However, tankless systems aren’t necessarily the right choice for every home. Installation costs, the home’s existing gas or electrical capacity, water demand, and the condition of the current system should all be considered.
A professional evaluation can help determine whether a tankless water heater is a good fit for your home.
2. What's Causing Noise in My Water Pipes When Water Is Turned On or Off?
Noisy pipes can have several causes. You may hear banging, knocking, rattling, humming, or vibrating when a faucet or appliance is turned on or off.
One common cause is water hammer, which occurs when flowing water suddenly stops and creates a pressure wave inside the plumbing system. Loose pipes, high water pressure, worn valves, or other plumbing issues can also contribute to unusual noises.
If the noise is frequent or getting worse, it’s a good idea to have the plumbing system inspected. Identifying the source early can help prevent a minor plumbing issue from becoming a larger problem.
3. How Can I Reduce My Home's Energy Costs?
Improving energy efficiency starts with reducing unnecessary energy use throughout your home.
A few simple steps include:
- Choose energy-efficient appliances when replacing older appliances.
- Turn off lights and appliances when they’re not being used.
- Use your thermostat efficiently. For systems with a fan setting, using AUTO rather than ON allows the blower to run only when the heating or cooling system is actively operating.
- Maintain your HVAC system with regular inspections and filter changes.
- Improve insulation and weatherization to reduce heating and cooling losses.
- Have your plumbing and water-heating systems inspected to identify potential sources of energy and water waste.
The amount you can save will vary based on your home’s size, age, appliances, HVAC equipment, insulation, and household usage. Small improvements throughout the home can add up over time.
