⚡️A water softener is recommended, especially in areas with hard water, to prevent damage to the water heater and other household appliances.
⚡️Tankless water heaters offer efficiency and are worth considering if a switch from electric to gas is feasible.
⚡️Mixing valves are a cost-effective solution for increasing hot water without replacing the entire water heater.
⚡️Heat pump water heaters represent the cutting edge in water heater technology, offering significant energy savings and sophisticated monitoring capabilities through smartphone apps.
Quotes:
"Usually we flush that water heater because you get a lot of sediment at the bottom of the water heaters."
"Everybody should have a water softener on their home, especially here in Indiana because we have some pretty hard water."
"If you're thinking about doing tankless, I would do a gas one for sure."
"Maintenance is very important for both plumbing and heating and cooling because it's the inconvenient part, too."
"It's best just to get the things maintenance and looked at."
