Eco-Friendly Options in Water Heaters From The Sunny Plumber

PHOENIX - Nov. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- The Sunny Plumber Las Vegas often find homeowners are looking for eco-friendly options when choosing a new water heater. The typical home water heater runs 24/7 to keep up to 100 gallons of water hot and ready for use. For a more “green” experience, opt for alternatives that offer the same hot water usage without the constant energy use.

Tankless Water Heater - A tankless water heater heats only the water you use. Cold water enters at the bottom, where an efficient gas heater rapidly brings the water to a boiling temperature.  When the hot water is turned off, the tankless heater shuts off. The heater can be located close to the kitchen or bath so the water doesn’t need to travel far. Tankless water heaters do cost nearly twice as much as standard water heaters, but the energy and water savings will pay for the heater within one to five years.

Recirculate Hot Water - A hot water recirculation system uses a pump to rush hot water where needed, saving homeowners money on both energy and water bills. Activated by the push of a button, a thermostat, timer, or motion sensor, the pump starts recirculating cooled water that’s been sitting in the hot water line and sends it back to the water heater through the cold water line. Instead of allowing the cold water to go down the drain, it simply goes back to the water heater.

Recover Heat - A drain-water heat recovery system is a $300 fixture that The Sunny Plumbers can install under the drain in your bathtub or shower. The system recovers the heat out of the water that goes down the drain and circulates the heat — not the water — back to the showerhead or water heater.
