Is my Hot Water Heater Still Under Warranty?

A good hot water heater used to last about 20 years. Now … not so much. Now warranties typically expire after about five years.

Save Money, Time and Water with a Circulating Pump

Get hot water faster with a circulating pump.Water is getting more precious by the day, but so much of it goes down the drain. Did you know that you can reduce that waste with a hot water circulating pump?

We’re already careful with our water usage and don’t let the water run while brushing our teeth. We buy toilets that use less water to flush. Our showers have flow regulators to use less water. So naturally, it bothers you to turn on the hot tap and let it run…and run…and run before it finally is hot enough to start your dishwasher, fill your sink, or hop in the shower. It’s an unnecessary waste of clean water just going down the drain.
