Tankless Water Heaters For Sarasota Residents


Tankless water heaters are just one of the many products that Professional Plumbing & Design offers our clients throughout Sarasota and the surrounding communities of Bradenton, Palmetto, and Venice.

Tankless water heaters offer an endless supply of hot water, so you never have to take a cold shower and, by instantly heating only the water you need, when you need it, these suitcase-sized units save more than just space; they save energy, which means you save money!

In the past, installation of these units was complicated and costly, but recent improvements in their design have made it easier than ever to switch from a conventional, tanked water heater to an energy-saving tankless model. Many of the top manufacturers have even started offering tankless units that will work with existing 1/2-inch gas lines; this makes retrofit installations faster and less expensive than before.

If it’s time to replace your water heater, consider switching to an energy-saving tankless water heater; the recent changes in technology and design have made them a great option!

For more information about tankless water heaters, or any other plumbing product or concern, feel free to contact Professional Plumbing & Design at 941-355-5400 or visit our website at www.proplumbingdesign.com.

Sarasota Plumbing Energy Savings

With a GeoSpring Water Heater an average household of 3 to 4 people can save between $370 and $490, while an average household of 5 to 6 people can save between $620 and $740.

The GeoSpring water heater combines energy-saving heat-pump technology with traditional electric elements using a fraction of the energy.

The integrated compressor and evaporator use a fan to draw in ambient heat from surrounding air to heat refrigerant. Then the heated refrigerant runs through coils that wrap the tank all the way to the bottom, transferring heat into the water tank. This innovative process creates the same amount of hot water as a traditional electric water heater.

2015 Water Heater Efficiency Standards

Enacted in 1975, the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act (NAECA) creates uniform efficiency standards for household appliances, including refrigerators, dishwashers, clothes washers, clothes dryers and water heaters.

Residential water heaters manufactured after April 16, 2015 must meet the minimum efficiency standards mandated by NAECA. This will result in $63 billion in energy savings over the next 30 years and a reduction in CO2 emissions of 172.5 million metric tons – that’s equal to taking 33.8 million automobiles off our streets!

In order to achieve these new higher standards, manufacturers must increase the amount of insulation in the water heater. This means that newer models are much larger and substantially more expensive. They are also more expensive to ship and, in some cases, additional installers may be required.

In some cases, manufacturers have reduced the number of gallons, in order to accommodate replacement applications where the consumer does not have the additional space required by a larger unit.

Electric water heater larger than 55 gallons must now be of the Hybrid Electric heat pump water heater type design and, which are also much larger, and they will require a condensation drain. This eliminates the 65, 80, and 120 gallon models.

If you need a new water heater, you can count on Professional Plumbing & Design for knowledgeable advice and expert installation and service.
