Selecting and Maintaining Your Water Heater

Most homeowners don’t give a second thought to their water heater—until the hot water stops flowing. Here’s what you need to know when selecting a new one and maintaining the one you have.

Storage tank water heaters have an insulated tank where water is heated and stored until it's needed. They're available in electric, propane and natural gas models.

• Tank size is an important consideration. Base your decision on household size. One to two people will need a 30-gallon tank. Three to four people will use a 40- to 50-gallon tank.
• Also think about the recovery rate — the number of gallons of water the water heater can heat in an hour. The greater your demand for hot water, the higher recovery rate you need.
• Know the dimensions of the space where your water heater will be stored and ensure that the one you want will fit.

Tankless, or on-demand, heats water as it passes through a series of coils in the unit instead of storing it.

• These units only heat water as you use it, so they are usually more energy-efficient than a traditional storage tank water heater.
• They’re available in electric, LP and natural gas models.
• Most tankless units can provide up to 3.5 gallons of heated water per minute. They are best for homes that demand only one or two areas of water use at one time, say the shower and the dishwasher or the kitchen sink and the washing machine.

Energy-efficiency
Whichever fuel source you use, a water heater can be the third largest energy user in your home, so you’ll want a unit that offers energy and cost savings. Research the energy-efficiency and yearly operating costs of a water heater before you decide which one is right for your needs. You can find this info listed clearly on the Energy Star label.

Maintenance tips
Many new water heaters come with a self-cleaning feature that automatically fights lime and sediment build-up to lengthen tank life and maintain peak efficiency for a longer period of time.

As water is pumped into your water heater tank, sediments settle on the bottom. Depending on the water quality, these materials can rob your water heater's efficiency. If left unchecked, they can not only make your water heater work harder but also allow your tank to rust and slowly be corroded until you need to replace the entire unit.

Help a family member, reduce living expenses, and increase the value of your home

An in-law apartment may allow you to do all that.

How'd you like to help a family member, reduce your living expenses, and increase the value of your home? All at the same time!

All you need is a few hundred feet of space in order to created an in-law apartment. In a footprint as small as 500 feet you can incorporate a bedroom a bathroom, kitchenette and combination living room dining area. and have a couple of closets.

You can share or in some cases separate utilities, have privacy for both parties, increased the value of your home, all while helping a family member to save at the same time. Perhaps it's a son or daughter. that's newlywed and saving money to get on their feet. Or maybe it's an elderly parent that needs to have some help for health reasons and no longer wants to take care of a big home. This a great opportunities to utilize unfinished space in the basement, turning it into living space. maybe its converting the garage into usable living space. You can even build outside the existing envelope of the home by adding a garage with space above so you get protection of expensive vehicles all at the same time. Perhaps you want a stand alone structure in the backyard to act as a guesthouse. All these can be done on a fairly small footprint. I've include a couple of samples layouts for your review and we have more available. If this is something that you'd like some help we ready to help.

We are working on pricing a special fixed package that we'll be introducing within the next few weeks.


This is a great opportunity to be able to reduced the living expense of people that may be struggling, increased the value of your home and bring the family closer together. Even if the in-law apartment is only needed for short time it may be able to produce living space that can generate additional income for you later. If you created the living space for an elderly parent or a handicapped person with ground level entry and exit it may be the type of unit sot after by aging baby boomer. Or it may be the perfect solution for somebody that's apartment hunting that has a disability or mobility issues. Or perhaps it's a second-floor unit for a young couple just getting started that will only be with you for a year or two before they get together the down payment together for their own home.

In any event, there are certain things that need to be considered such as code compliance and available space and its usability. That's were we can help you navigate the process.Why not call us today to see to see how we can help your family and improve your home all at the same time.
