Why You Need a Tankless Water Heater Before Winter

Cold weather is approaching quickly, and chances are you’ll be spending a ton of money heating your home. But wouldn't it be great if you could save that money or even use it towards your holiday gifts? Switching to a tankless water heater can change all of that.

So before you find yourself knee deep in holiday preparation, here are three reasons why you should invest in a tankless water heater:

Save energy - Your current hot water tank uses a lot of energy and is considered to be the biggest consumer of energy in your home. When you switch to a tankless heater, you can lower your energy bill significantly, which means you can save up!

Save space - While a standard tank takes up nearly 9 square feet of space, a tankless water heater doesn’t take up any space on your floor - that’s because it’s attached to your wall instead. So especially if you're short on space in your home, a tankless water heater is a smart option.   

Save money - Another drawback of a hot water tank is that it’s constantly running all day long to heat up water. But when you make the switch, your new tankless water heater will only run when you need it to, saving you money on your gas bill. Plus, it lasts much longer and more efficiently than a traditional heater, which will save you money on costly repairs and installations as well!

There are many perks to buying a tankless water heater from saving money to creating more space at home. At New York Plumbing and Sewer Rooter, we offer efficient water heaters and can install or repair before the first cold day! We work around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to ensure your safety and comfort. For more information about our services, call us today at 877.713.8136 or visit our website.

Energy-Efficient Fixtures for Your Home

Whether it be for financial reasons or just to reduce your personal carbon footprint, there are plenty of fixtures out there that can help make your home an Eco-friendly one.

Make the upgrades today or pin it for later! Either way, turn to these few great ones below:

Energy-Efficient Lighting Fixtures: Unscrewing an old-fashioned light bulb can take just seconds and make a huge difference in energy required. Replace them with compact fluorescent or light-emitting diode light bulbs instead.

Insulated Windows & Doors: If cool air or heat is constantly escaping your home, you're certainly paying for more than truly required. Upgrade to windows and doors approved by the Energy Star program as a way to significantly reduce air leakage and energy loss.

Low-Flow Toilets: You don't need to sacrifice color and style for a toilet that conserves water. Manufactures are making low-flow models in the same decorative elements you loved before.

New Air Conditioners and Furnaces: An outdated or overworked HVAC system is likely cranking up your energy bill. Have a technician replace it with a new one that abides by the federal government regulations put in place to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels.

Replace Bathroom Showerheads: Upgrading your showerhead to water-efficient technology, like the ones with a WaterSense label, can decrease your water use greatly. Especially since a great deal of our overall water use comes from shower time, this is a simple way to see big savings.
