Sarasota Florida Hybrid Gas & Electric Water Heaters:

Hybrid Gas and Electric Water Heaters represent the newest water heating technology and they offer huge energy savings. It seems hard to believe but, even though water heaters are the second largest energy consumer in most homes, Energy Star did not start regulating their efficiency until 2008. This action prompted a movement to design higher efficiency water heaters like the new hybrid systems.

Sarasota Water Conservation Tips for your Home and Garden

These easy-to-follow tips will help you save you money and protect the environment.

Home

•    Flushing: A single flush can down several gallons of water. Keep a wastebasket in the bathroom so you are not tempted to flush a single tissue and don’t ever flush sanitary products, diapers, cotton balls, cotton swabs, or anything other than toilet paper down the toilet, it’s bad for the plumbing and it wastes water.

•    Brushing: Don’t leave the water running while you brush. You only need it on while you rinse and maybe for a second if you like to wet the toothpaste before brushing.

•    Showering: Keep a bucket handy so you can collect the water that is not warm enough to shower in. You can use the collected water for gardening, cleaning, or even to flush the toilet. Shutting the water off while you lather up will save a lot of water too.

•     ashing Dishes: Use a tub for dishes that need soaking and keep the water off while scrubbing, you only need it for rinsing.

•    Boiling Water: Save the water used for boiling eggs or steaming vegetables to water plants.

•    Installing Regulators: Faucet regulators will keep the water from shooting out at full strength and prevent waste.

Garden

•    Watering: Watering in the mornings, when it is not as hot out, means that the water will not evaporate as quickly, so the roots stay healthy throughout the day, and don’t just shoot a stream of water across the yard, aim the water at base of the plants, where it’s needed most.

•    Irrigating: Drip irrigation systems are easily installed and they can help you conserve water.

Why replace your Sarasota water heater when you can repair it for a fraction of the cost?

The answer is simple; your old water heater may be costing you more than think.

From baths and showers to dishwashing and laundry, we depend on our water heaters more than we might realize. In a typical home, the electric water heater accounts for approximately 14% of the total energy bill.

Water Heaters are not a one-size-fits-all appliance. There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing a new water heater and that is why it is important to have a knowledgeable and trustworthy professional to guide you through the selection process.

Water heaters are also available in the traditional tank style and tankless. Tankless models offer increased efficiency because you are only heating the water that you consume and they offer an endless supply of hot water in a much smaller package. Tankless water heaters also last twice as long as the tank style water heaters and the warranties range from 3 to 12 years.

Sarasota Solar Water Heating Systems

Did you know that a conventional electric water heater uses as much energy as an automobile?

On average, a family of four uses about 80 gallons of hot water per day. The energy required to heat that water is equivalent to the 11.4 barrels of oil required to power a vehicle that gets 22 mpg for a year (12,000 miles). In other words, installing a Solar Water Heating System has the same environmental impact as removing an average car from the road.

Professional Plumbing and Design is based in Sarasota Florida. We offer residential and commercial plumbing services for Sarasota and the surrounding areas including Bradenton, Palmetto, and Venice.

Sarasota Tankless Gas and Electric Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters offer an endless supply of hot water in a much smaller package than conventional water heaters and, with a typical lifespan of 20 years or more, Tankless systems last twice as long as conventional tank-style water heaters.

The small size of the Tankless units and their concentric venting system allow you to strategically place them on virtually any wall for maximum performance and energy efficiency. You can seamlessly connect multiple units for use in larger homes and exterior units can even be painted and textured to match your home’s exterior!

Should you replace your water heater - even if you can repair it for a fraction of the cost?

The answer is simple - YES!  Your old water heater may be costing you much more than think.

From baths and showers to dish washing and laundry, we depend on our water heaters more than we might realize. In a typical home, the electric water heater accounts for approximately 14% of the total energy bill. That Water Heater is the second largest energy consumer in a typical home – second only to the home heating and cooling system.

Just like in the HVAC industry, the plumbing industry has been trending towards more environmentally friendly designs with significantly improved energy efficiency ratings. The GeoSpring Water Heater by GE, for example, uses 62% less energy than a standard 50-gallon water heater. With that kind of savings, it’s easy to see how a new water heater can pay for itself in no time.

Water Heaters are not a one-size-fits-all appliance. There are a variety of factors to consider when choosing a new water heater and that is why it is important to have a knowledgeable and trustworthy professional to guide you through the selection process. The right water heater will add value to your home, reduce your energy bills, and add convenience for years to come, but you have to choose right...

If your water heater is more than 15 years old, replacing it could significantly reduce your electric bill and add value to your home. If you're not sure when your water heater was built, check the first 4 digits of the serial number for the month and year of manufacture

How to clear a clogged drain.

Drains can clog over time. If you think about all of the types of things we flush down our drains, it’s a wonder they don’t clog more often. 

Drains run slower as greases, hair, toothpaste, soap and other debris build up inside the pipes and eventually cause blockage.

If you have clogged drains, there are a few things you can do yourself to try and clear them.

•              Use a plunger. A very handy tool, and no house should be without one. If your drain doesn't unclog right away move on to another method because too much pressure from a plunger may damage your drain or pipes.

•              Use a chemical drain opener. This is not environmentally friendly, and a bit hazardous if you are not careful. Chemical drain opener is not recommended for septic tanks, because it will kill the beneficial bacteria.

•            Use a snake. You can buy or rent a manual or mechanical snake to clear your drain.  However, if you are not careful, and do not use the tool properly you can cause much damage to your pipes.

The DIY approach is always great to try at first as you can save a lot of money.  But there is a point where you have to decide when it’s time to bring in a professional plumber because you could end up causing more damage that results in costly repairs down the road.

Professsional Plumbing & Design will be able to clear your clogged drain without damaging your plumbing or fixtures.  Please call us  at (941) 355-5400 if you have a clogged drain, we’d be glad to help.  Or visit our website at http://www.proplumbingdesign.com

Sarasota Water Use and Plumbing News - City Commissioners Propose a Water Rate Hike

Last month, Sarasota City Commissioners proposed a 6% increase, each year for the next two years.

If approved, this will amount to 4 straight years of rate hikes for Sarasota. Utility officials say the hikes are needed to keep up with maintenance on infrastructure, which is 60 to 70 years old in some parts, and to keep the department from going deeper in debt.

While we certainly understand their needs, we thought you would appreciate a few water conservation tips for your home and garden that will keep the hikes from affecting your bottom line and, as a bonus, help you protect the environment.

Keep a wastebasket in the bathroom so you are not tempted to flush a single tissue and don’t ever flush sanitary products, diapers, cotton balls, cotton swabs, or anything other than toilet paper down the toilet, it’s bad for the plumbing and it wastes water.

Little leaks can lead to big problems.

You should always be aware of things that could signal a potential plumbing problem. Things like leaking faucets, damp carpet or cabinets, rocking toilets or dripping refrigerators can all lead to larger problems down the road.


A leaking faucet isn't just annoying; not only are you wasting water but the moisture it releases puts wear on sink fixtures and can encourage the growth of mold and mildew.
