The hot water heater buzz these days is all about the tankless water heater.  Anytime anyone has a need for a new water heater, the first question is almost always: What if I replaced with tankless?  There are many considerations that go into this decision.  Some of the most important are installation, up-front and long term costs, design, house size, and usage.  Many people never make it past the up-front costs discussion to realize all the advantages a tankless water heater has to offer.  Hopefully this article will provide some insight.

The table above is based on a few assumptions.  We assume that you are using high quality products, not the cheapest on the market.  Also, that you are using a professional, licensed, and insured plumbing company.  Taking these facts into consideration, you can see that the tankless water heater has the clear advantage over the tank water heater.  At Click’s Plumbing we only use high quality products and are licensed and insured for your protection.

One common and major problem is that most homeowners don’t plan or save for the expense of replacing a water heater.  It is usually last minute and an emergency.  People have the out of sight, out of mind mentality and only think about it once the water is coming through the ceiling and flooding the house.  When panic and anxiety kick in, you don’t want to hear about the long term benefits.  Research and budgeting for replacing your hot water heater should be done in advance so that you can make the best choice and not just the instant choice.  Be an informed homeowner.

At Click’s Plumbing, we are trained and certified by multiple tankless water heater manufacturers to both install and maintain their products.  By making a call and answering a few questions, we can determine the best hot water heater for you and give you choices along with the tools you need to do some of your own research with the best manufacturers on the market.  Remember, the more information you have, the more at ease you will be that you are making the best decision for your home and family.

Kitchen sink plumbing is a major component of your plumbing system.  I mean when you think about how much time is spent in the kitchens of most families you see how that could very well be an accurate statement. But that just goes to operation and functionality.  When showing others your new home, where do take them first?  You go into the kitchen to show off the elegance and size, right?  A lot of families take pride in their kitchen.  For these reasons, you should take care to insure that your plumbing is installed correctly and professionally.  Extravagant kitchens don’t stand out with ugly plumbing in them.

Families should spend the proper amount of the budget to get the kitchen right.  The old adage still prevails:  If you don’t spend a little more in the beginning, you will spend a lot more in the end.  Time and money spent repairing or replacing down the road can add up to a lot over time. 

Maintaining your kitchen sink plumbing with a little common sense goes a long way also.  Keep your faucet free of debris.  Dry up the standing water around the faucet after each use.  Use the disposal sparingly.  I mean do you put more food into your mouth than you can chew at one time?  Don’t do that to your disposal either.  Let the water run during and after each use.  Let the disposal run long enough to actually grind through the food you just put in it.  Food not completely flushed out of your disposal creates bacteria buildup causing the bad odor to emanate around the sink.  It also causes it to rust out, corrode from the inside out.  Then you will have a nice surprise of the water pouring onto your feet from the inside of the cabinet.  Basic common sense can save you tons of money.

Don’t allow the area in your home with the most use, by the most people, and the most shown become the most expensive maintenance item of your annual budget.  Always use quality products and professional installation to get the most life time.  Careful planning and proper care will allow you to enjoy your kitchen sink plumbing for years to come.
