Gas Hot water heaters, Tankless water heaters, Electric water heaters
BENEFITS OF EACH TYPE OF WATER HEATER
Storage Tank Water Heater
Storage tanks are the most common type of water heater. As the name suggests, these consist of an insulated tank in which water is heated and stored until needed, then emerges from a pipe on top of the water heater. There is also a temperature and pressure-relief valve, which opens if either exceeds a preset level. Natural gas water heaters typically use less energy and cost less to run (by about half) than electric water heaters, although you should note that gas models cost more at the time of purchase.
Tankless (On-Demand) Water Heater
Rather than storing water, tankless water heaters use heating coils to heat the water as you need it. They’re more energy-efficient than a storage tank, but provide only a limited flow of hot water per minute—about 3.5 gallons. They’re best for people who typically aren’t drawing water for more than one use at a time—running a shower and dishwasher simultaneously. Tankless models are best for homes that use natural gas to heat the water; electric models might require an expensive upgrade of the home's electrical capacity.
Heat Pump (Hybrid) Water Heater
These capture heat from the air and transfer it to the water. They use about 60 percent less energy than standard electric water heaters. And while they cost more than electric-only models, installation is similar and payback time is short. But they don’t work well in very cold spaces and need to be placed in an area that stays 40 to 90 degrees. And because the heat pump is on top, a hybrid water heater needs as much as 7-feet clearance from floor to ceiling. You'll also need up to 1,000 cubic feet of uncooled space to capture enough heat from the air as well as a nearby drain to discharge the condensate.
WHAT IS HYDRO JETTING?
BENEFITS OF HYDRO JETTING
Hydro-jetting is a sewer cleaning process that uses large volumes of water under very high pressure to scour the walls of the drain and sewer lines. Hydro-jetting is different from mechanical rodding, augers or using a rooter machine that just cuts a hole in the drain blockage, hydro-jetting cuts tree roots, removes grease and debris all the way around the walls of the sewer pipe. The sewer clog is then washed away to leave your sewer or drain lines as clean as the day they were installed. Rotor rooters are good for cleaning or clearing certain types of drain clogs or problems, however, there are many circumstances where hydro-jetting is the best solution for the problem. When considering hydro-jetting in your home, always consult with a Blue Star plumbing professional to help determine the best solution for you. BENEFITS OF HYDRO JETTING Unlike a plumbing snake, hydro-jetting does more than just break up clogs. The spray of water also removes debris built up on pipe walls, such as grease or minerals. Consequently, routine hydro-jetting services can help maintain the health of pipes. Furthermore, when we use a hydro jet, we do not need to use harsh chemicals to help break up debris trapped in a pipe.
