Using a Tankless
Water Heater:
Gas tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand, plus a whole lot
more. Consider a qualified tankless water heater for your home and enjoy
these benefits:
Save energy and money: You don't use hot water 24-hours a day
yet a standard tank-type water heater consumes energy around the clock
to keep the water in your tank hot.
Continuous hot water: Tankless water heaters provide a continuous
flow of hot water so there is no need to suffer through a cold shower
if you are the last one out of bed.
Space-saving design: A qualified tankless model saves you an
extra closet's worth of space compared to a tank-type water heater. Gas
tankless heaters are small and wall-mounted.
Fewer worries: Tankless water heaters have a life expectancy
of 20 years, much longer than any conventional tank-type heater.

Using a Solar
Water Heater:
A solar heating system saves energy, reduces utility costs and produces
clean energy. According to the Department of Energy: "Solar water
heating systems usually cost more to purchase and install than conventional
water heating systems. However, a solar water heater can usually save
you money in the log run." How much money you save depends on the
following:
~ The amount of hot water you use
~Your system's performance
~ Your geographic location and solar resource
~ The cost of conventional fuels (natural gas, oil and electricity
~ The cost of the fuel you use for your backup water heating system, if
you have one.
On average, if you install a solar water heater, your water heating bills
should drop %50% to 80%. Also, because the sun is free, you are protected
from future fuel shortages and price hikes.

Using a Hybrid
Electric Water Heater:
Rheem air-source heat pump water heaters work much like a refrigerator
in reverse. The heat pump extracts the heat from warm air, intensifies
the heat with a compressor, delivers the heat to the water, and exhausts
the cooler air. Because it uses the warm ambient air temperature to do
most of the work, it is a very efficient way to heat water. The hybrid
electric water heater provides more than Twice the efficiency of standard
electric water heaters.

Using
Manabloc Systems:
Manabloc Systems deliver your
hot water to you faster, in effect saving water. The manabloc systems
are designed to distribute hot water faster than other methods of water
piping, doing so by having a designated line to each fixture from the
manbloc itself. By having the direct line to each fixture, the number
of connections throughout most housing projects versus the manabloc system
are reduced by as much as 60%, whereas conventional piping systems have
many undesired connections throughout the system and increases the possibility
of water leaks.
