Most people have never heard of a &#8220;Fan in a Can&#8221;.</p>
<p>So here we go.</p>
<p>A fan in a can brings fresh air into utility rooms, or .</p>
<p>Most installations of the Fan in a Can product have utility/ boiler rooms in a home that has no windows, and not enough &#8220;make up air&#8221; within it.  Make up air is needed to provide hot water heaters, boilers, furnaces, ei anything with a burner Air for proper combustion of the units burner.</p>
<p>When you don&#8217;t have enough make up air in a room that has lets say a water heater &amp; boiler in it.  The room will be very warm and the usable air quantity becomes very low over time as the units burners consume the air they need.   When this happens water heaters, boilers, and furnaces become less efficient and consume more gas,oil, and or propane than they normally would use, because the burner has to work harder to con-bust the poor quality of air.</p>
<p>Some people think that the warm utility room is nice, and it is i suppose but it&#8217;s not the idea situation for a home, because you will use more energy, and the chances of carbon monoxide poising is a very real possibility.</p>
<p>This is what a fan in a can looks like.</p>

<h2><a title="Small Changes  Matter" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/learn">Save money, live better, help the earth!</a></h2>
<p>Please visit this link for the full, &#8220;official&#8221; page.  It has the complete story, graphics, pics, all together much better than this post.   <a href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer" target="_blank">http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer</a></p>
<h1>Importance of Residential Energy Use</h1>
<p><strong>$241 billion.</strong> That&#8217;s how much is  spent every consumers spend each year on energy for home use. About 1 in  5 of the nation&#8217;s energy dollars is spent in homes. Energy efficiency  improvements could cut this number by well over half.</p>
<p><strong>90% of your time.</strong> That&#8217;s the  proportion of the average American&#8217;s time spent indoors. The quality of  indoor air is often worse than the air outside. Moisture and gasses from  building materials are some of the many invisible sources of indoor air  pollution. When done right, energy efficiency upgrades will also  improve indoor air quality and make your home safer and more  comfortable.</p>
<p><strong>1.2 billion tons of  greenhouse-gas  emissions.</strong> That&#8217;s what is emitted (as carbon dioxide) into the  atmosphere as a byproduct of making the energy to power U.S. homes.  Every single thing done to save energy at home trims these emissions.</p>
<p>Did you know that the typical U.S. family spends  about $1,900 a year on home utility bills? Unfortunately, a large  portion of that energy is wasted. And each year, electricity generated  by fossil fuels for a single home puts more carbon dioxide into the air  than two average cars.</p>
<p>Right in your own home, you have the power to reduce  energy demand, and when you reduce demand, you cut the amount of  resources, like coal and gas, needed to make energy—that means you  create less greenhouse gas emissions, which keeps air cleaner for all of  us&#8230;and saves on your utility bills! Plus, reducing energy use  increases our energy security.</p>
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-1882" href="http://www.waterheatinginfo.com/tips-and-suggestions/save-money-live-better-help-the-earth-free-energy-audit-calculate-your-usage-and-potential-savings/attachment/engerycarbon_diagram-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1882" title="engerycarbon_diagram" src="http://www.waterheatinginfo.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/engerycarbon_diagram1.JPG" alt="engerycarbon_diagram" width="500" height="265" /></a></p>
<h1>The Hidden Cost of Home Energy Use</h1>
<p>By improving your home&#8217;s energy efficiency, you can  profit in three ways: <a title="Jump to the  Saving Money section" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/learn-triple#money">save  money</a>, <a title="Jump to the  Living Better section" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/learn-triple#live">improve your life</a>, and <a title="Jump to the  Helping the Earth section" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/learn-triple#earth">help the earth</a>, andy making your home  safer and more comfortable.</p>
<p>Many people believe that their car is the largest single source of  air pollution for which they are personally responsible. But in fact,  the average home causes the emission of more than twice as much carbon  dioxide—the principal greenhouse gas—as the average car. This is because  most of the energy consumed in our homes is produced by burning fossil  fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. This pollution is actually a  hidden cost for the energy we use, over and above the dizzying $241  billion Americans spend each year on their home energy bills— that&#8217;s  about $2,100 per house!</p>
<p>Much of this energy use is unnecessary because there  are a variety of proven, widely available products on the market today  (heating, cooling, appliances, windows, lighting, etc.) to drastically  reduce your home&#8217;s energy bills, and accompanying pollution. What&#8217;s  more, many of these products actually improve the comfort and livability  of your home.</p>
<p><strong>The example below is for the national average  home. Begin a  Home Energy Saver session to see an example for your  area.</strong></p>
<p><a name="money"></a></p>
<h2>Saving  Money</h2>
<p>Not only does the environment benefit from using  energy-efficient equipment, <a title="The Profitability  of Energy Efficiency Upgrades" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/profitable">your wallet benefits too.</a> By using  energy-efficient products, such as those with the ENERGY STAR label, you  can avoid energy waste and save money on your utility bills.</p>
<p>Think of it this way—whenever you buy an energy-consuming product, it  really has two price tags. The first price tag is the initial purchase  price. The second price tag isn&#8217;t so obvious—it&#8217;s the cost to operate  the product over its lifetime. Because this second price tag is hidden  in your monthly utility bills, it&#8217;s easy to overlook. But the second  price tag can be large. For some products, it can be even more than the  initial price. So when you are comparing models, remember the second  price tag before you buy. Products with the ENERGY STAR label come with a  smaller second price tag, which means lower utility bills every month  for years to come.</p>
<p>When we spend money on new appliances, heating and  cooling equipment, or a new home, we want to get the most for our  investment. A smart way to make a good investment is to think about  energy efficiency. Energy-efficient products often have a little higher  initial purchase price than their inefficient competitors. But the  higher price is really an investment that will be paid back in utility  bill savings for years to come. In fact, investments in energy-efficient  products can yield returns higher than stocks, bonds, or many other  alternative investments. For instance, buying a high-efficiency  refrigerator instead of a standard model can yield annual &#8220;interest&#8221; of  almost 25% on the initial investment.</p>

<h3>Living Better</h3>
<p>Efficient homes do more than save money and reduce  pollution. They&#8217;re also more comfortable and safer.</p>
<p>The familiar causes of discomfort — humidity, drafts,  cold windows in winter or hot windows in summer — are all lessened by  improvements in energy efficiency. It turns out that many efficient  building components also enhance safety. Insurance companies are even  considering offering reduced premiums for homes with these types of  features.</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<ul>
<li>Compact fluorescent lamps last longer, reducing  the hassle, cost, and risk of injury associated with lamp changes. CFL  fluorescent torchiere light fixtures eliminate a serious fire hazard  posed by the halogen fixtures they replace.</li>
<li>Highly-insulating windows improve thermal  comfort, reduce ultraviolet fading of furnishings, are a deterrent to  burglars, and cut down on exterior noise.</li>
<li>Horizontal-axis clothes washers remove stains  more effectively and trim water and detergent bills.</li>
<li>Efficient duct systems help eliminate pressure  imbalances in homes that can precipitate indoor air quality problems  such as backdrafting of combustion appliances or the entry of radon gas  into the home.</li>
<li>Well-insulated ceilings can prevent the  formation of damaging rooftop ice dams, and the danger of roof damages  or falling icicles.</li>
<li>Well-insulated crawlspaces reduce the likelihood  of frozen water pipes.</li>
<li>A comprehensive effort to make the home&#8217;s walls,  ceiling, floor and windows more efficient pays off in terms of a  smaller (and thus less expensive) furnace and air conditioner.</li>
</ul>
<p>Other examples of these &#8220;non-energy benefits&#8221; are  listed <a title="Non-Energy  Benefits" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/nebs">here.</a></p>

<h3>Helping the Earth</h3>
<p>We all depend on using energy as part of our daily  lives. But when we use products that waste energy, we harm the  environment. This is because most of the energy consumed in our homes  and offices is produced by burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and  natural gas. When these fuels are burned, they release air pollutants  such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particles that contribute  to smog, acid rain, and respiratory disease. Another pollutant, carbon  dioxide, contributes to global climate change.</p>
<p>The <a title="U.S. Global Change Research Program: Key Findings" href="http://www.globalchange.gov/publications/reports/scientific-assessments/us-impacts/key-findings" target="_blank">evidence clearly indicates</a> that we are already  witnessing the effect of human activity on the global climate. Carbon  dioxide emissions from energy use, including the generation of  electricity, are the largest world-wide contributor to global climate  change. Disruptions now linked to climate change include an increase in  the number of severe temperature and rainfall episodes,   stress on  water resources, and the degradation of natural ecosystems. The  consequences span almost every domain of society: our settlements,  health, agriculture, and even energy systems.</p>

<h1>Roadmap to Results</h1>
<p>Ease into the process of making your home more  efficient.  If you&#8217;re new to this, or you&#8217;re on a very tight budget,  start with the <a title="The Lowest-Hanging Fruit" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/happen-fruit">lowest-hanging fruit</a> like  double-checking your water heater&#8217;s temperature setting.</p>
<p>The next easy steps are simple things that will fit  into your shopping basket: maybe a few compact fluorescent lamps or a  roll of weatherstripping.</p>
<p>When it&#8217;s time to replace that old fridge, or other  appliances, take time to shop smart.  At a minimum, look for the ENERGY  STAR rating.  There are detailed lists of products that will take you  even farther. Remember: you&#8217;re not simply spending money, you&#8217;re <a title="Investing for  Profit and Comfort" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/happen-investing">investing for profit and comfort</a>.</p>
<p>Redoing your kitchen?  New roof?  Finally adding that  in-law unit? <a title="Creating Successful Projects" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/happen-successful">Creating successful projects</a> can take some work. Take the time to find a home performance specialist  to help you think thru all the options ahead of time, and then <a title="Choosing a  Good Contractor" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/happen-choosing">find the right contractor</a> with the skills to do the  job right.</p>
<p>Not only will these upgrades pay for themselves many  times over, there are all kinds of <a title="Financial  Incentives" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/happen-incentives">financial incentives </a>to help you trim the cost. And many  of the &#8220;<a title="Non-energy  benefits" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/nebs">non-energy benefits</a>&#8221; will be worth more than money can  buy.</p>
<p>And, don&#8217;t forget about saving <a title="Watt About  Water?" href="http://hes.lbl.gov/consumer/happen-water">water</a> (which also saves energy).</p>

I need an affordable drain cleaning company.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-</p>
<p>Wow the prices of drain cleaning services are so expensive are high, and seem to be getting higher.</p>
<p>Last weekend my main line got clogged and I wasted water back up and filled the tub &amp; poured out of my down stairs toilet floor.  Completely gross indeed.<br />
I needed someone to clear the line as fast as possible.<br />
Once the main line is clogged you can&#8217;t use any water in the entire house, or you will just add more water to the mess.<br />

<p>You and I can handle a small sink clog, or toilet ourselves if we try, but not a main stack line.  So I called a few of my buddies that work for Roter Rooter to see if there prices came down, or if they could help me out after hours.   Unbelievably I found out there prices are even higher than they were a couple years ago.  It&#8217;s completely crazy to me that these guys are even in business.  Roter Rooters current prices-  <em>$995 dollars for a jetting machine service, $335 for snaking a main line, $275 for kitchen sinks clogs, $169 for a toilet clog! </em>It&#8217;s hard for me to understand how they are in business, but I guess people don&#8217;t know who to call, so they pick up the yellow pages, (where all the over priced guys have over priced ads)</p>
<p>My plumbing buddies did tell me who to call tho, and he&#8217;s one of the best and lowest priced guys around for drain cleaning.</p>
<p>I gave Freddy a call and he showed up fast, and cleared the line of a huge knot of roots for a price i could afford.<br />
I&#8217;m sure he will do the same for you.</p>

<p>Sewage line repair/ replacements</h3>
<p>Repair or replace water and sewer lines to correct every  problem there could be, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Broken, cracked, misaligned or collapsed pipes. – Damage pipes due  to ground settling, freezing, shifting.</li>
<li>Blockage.  Foreign objects, grease can severely restrict and  prohibit water flow, and when bad enough the pipes should be replaced.</li>
<li>Corrosion.  Cast Iron, clay,  iron pipes, and orange-burg pipes can  deteriorate, and break causing collapses and restricting flow.</li>
<li>Bellied pipes. Sections of pipes can settle if the ground moves over  time, or the pipes weren’t properly back filled in the ground, or  supported properly on the wall, or hung from the ceiling at the time of  installation or repair.</li>
<li>Leaking joints.  Nothing lasts forever, and this is one of those  times you just got to bite the bullet and replace this bad section of  waste pipe.</li>
<li>Roots within pipes.  The roots of nearby trees, or shrubs look for  water, roots can enter threw old cast iron pips especially underground,  and usually due of time, clogging, and restricting the flow of waste  water out of the house.<strong> </strong></li>

<p><strong>Main sewer lines</strong> are the  largest drains in a  home. All other household drains lead to the main  sewer line. The main  sewer runs underground from the house and connects  to a city sewer line  or a septic tank. Your main sewer line can become  clogged from the  debris those other household drains wash into it or  by tree roots that  penetrate pipe joints from surrounding soil.If the  main sewer line clogs, toilets and drains  throughout your house will  begin to backup. This is usually a very  stressful situation for anyone  living in the home or building effected, and it can happen at any time  of the  day or night. That’s why  Freddy’s is your 24 hour plumbing  company.A technician using a professional rooter machine will cut   through the clog and clean the main sewer pipe right down to its inner   walls. If the technician has any indication there is a problem with the   main sewer line, he may perform a video camera inspection to determine  if the pipe  is damaged or corroded.  Freddy will share the video with  the  homeowner and present options for sewer line repair or replacement  if necessary.</p>

</p><p>-If you own a plumbing company you need to read this!-</p>
<p>How do I get new plumbing customers?<br />
How do I sell more water heaters?<br />
How can I get my plumbing company more profitable?<br />
How can the internet grow my business?</p>
<p>The answer is to attract new clients. Make more money.</p>
<p>Just as you found this website, (after asking a question at your favorite search engine) you ended up here on this page of this site. You too need to be found when people are looking up questions they need answers to.  For example. Dozens if not hundreds of people are on the internet searching things like this.</p>
<p>-what&#8217;s a good plumbing company in Massachusetts?<br />
-who’s a great plumber in Massachusetts?<br />
-where can I find a water heater installer in Massachusetts?<br />
-tankless water heaters installers in Massachusetts. Etc.</p>
<p>If you owned a plumbing company in Massachusetts you want your company’s name to be as high up on the 1<sup>st</sup> page of Google, or any other search engine obviously.<br />

<p>If You/ your company came up somewhere on the top of the 1st page of a Google search for “a good plumber in _________ (ur town) “ , you will be clicked on, and you will get phone calls, and you will sell more jobs, make more money.</p>
<p>For most people this is quite easy to understand, however this not easy to accomplish without help.</p>
<p>Now this I know for sure &#8211; marketing ideas for industry specific trades like plumbing are hard to come by, and your average plumbing company isn’t prepared to spend thousands of dollars on a great website such as this one, and everyone knows money is tight for marketing in this economy.  And lets say there is money to invest in a great marketing idea, who has marketing ideas specifically targeted for plumbing companies (like we are)?</p>
<p>There are so many BS internet marketing companies in the world I get at least 2 -3 calls every week from these people that want to sell me a website or silly SEO &#8220;search engine optimization&#8221; program.  These people have no idea what they are talking about, and can&#8217;t answer the most basic questions I ask them.   Today finding someone to help you accomplish real internet marketing goals is like finding an oasis while walking threw the Sahara desert with a blind fold on.  &#8220;Website/ internet marketing people are annoying&#8221; (In my real life I don&#8217;t even talk about website, or internet marketing for this reason).</p>
<p>This is why “we” are different.  We didn’t call you like those annoying “internet marketing salesman” constantly do lately! You found us, (like we will make other people find you) and you are reading this little story, just as thousands of other people will this and every month. We aren’t some large big budget internet marketing company that has big expenses to cover, and we don’t use fancy “internet marketing lingo”.  We’re not trying to sell you a website.  What we are is a couple real plumbers, and a couple Internet nerds with an awesome website, which gets dozens of phone calls a day from people in states, were not licensed/ do business in.  That is turn is the problem.</p>
<p>Long story short!   People cross the country call us for plumbers, and we are missing out on tons of money, so we need companies around the Country in our data base and on the site so we can refer them to you. For a small fee of course.</p>
<p>All we want to do is make money like any business, but we accomplish that by helping people, which is pretty awesome and rare these days.  We want many plumbing companies across America get more business either by referring our “over flow” people directly to you, and by creating a page on your behalf on this site.  By getting involved with us, and having a page on this site linked to your company website, you will be on the top of a Google search for a few different search terms.</p>
<p>How can that be true (or what are you talking about!) you’re probably asking???</p>
<p>Check this out.</p>

<p>We got our client Bruce Somers from Connecticut some amazing results.  As you can see in the picture above, Bruce Somers is the best plumber in Connecticut, as far as search engines are concerned.</p>
<p>This website WaterHeatingInfo.com receives over 100 thousand hits every month. Which translates into around 2,500 – 3,000 real life people across America are visiting the site every month, and those people clicking/read more than 50,000 pages of information here ever month.  The rest of the 50K hits are many different search engines of visiting &amp; indexing the site for their own purposes.<br />
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-0176246075195297";

<p>Whether you know anything about website traffic or not, you know that a truly insane amount of people/ hits on any website for a month, and it doesn’t seem realistic. However it is 100% true, we’re actually doing more like 120K hits a month but that’s not the point. There is almost 100 pages of information within the site which has on average 1,000 – 2,000 words per page.  Well over 100,000 words pertaining to water heating and plumbing.  Search engines love, and push us, and anything we publish on this site up to the top every major search engine for that same reason.  We pop up on literally hundreds of searches because we answer hundreds of questions.  High quality information is one thing, and we have a few tricks up our nerd selves helps as well.</p>
<p>The thing is we are based, and only licensed in Connecticut, so we are only able to provide plumbing services for CT residents.   (we are missing out on millions of dollars worth of plumbing very literally)</p>
<p>Now what are we to do with the thousands of people across America ever month that need a new water heater, can’t find an installers, and end up on this website looking for one???</p>
<p>The answer is.</p>
<p>I want to send them to you!!!!   For a fee of course.  (We haven’t spent the last year of our lives building this website to make other people rich and successful, without becoming a little more successful ourselves.)</p>
<p>So lets talk about the money.  You want to get involved, great. It doesn’t cost much, and the return on investment will happen after only one job most likely.</p>
<p>The price you spend with us only depends on how much “coolness” you want us to do.  We don’t  have set lists of different programs, and complicated pricing guides, as we are much to creative for that!</p>
<p>We can get you on your way to better search results and new clients within a 30- 90 days for $250 bucks.  Nothing flashy but very effective.  We will add you to our “Out of State friends” page, and get a few links going your way.<br />
If you wanted to spend 750 or so we would create you a website in our website, in a sense.<br />
We will create you a fully blown out full page with as many pics, videos, and information you want us to publish. Add you to our out of friends’ page, and get a few links in your behalf.</p>
<p>From there we offer other “advanced advertising” options which are paid monthly.<br />
Banner ads, front page links, and special featured stories published on the front page are just a few more things we can do here.</p>
<p>***If you spend 750 or more within the first 3 months we will guarantee in writing that you will make “at least” your money back from the site in the first 6 months.</p>
<p>Who else is doing it?</p>
<p>Bruce Somers, of Bruce Somers Plumbing llc. &amp; Fredy’s Drain Cleaning llc. They are featured plumbers of this website, and you can see their info on the contact us page.</p>
<p>This site right now is making Bruce Somers $2,000 dollars a week on average from leads directly coming from this website.  On average he is installing 2 -3 water heating devices.  Usually one or two tankelss water heaters (or a combination of) oil fired water heaters, indirect storage tankless, or traditional tank type water heaters etc.  After those jobs, all of these people become clients for life.</p>
<p>Freddy’s Drain Cleaning is rolling in it literally.  With our help Freddy landed a huge account in Stamford, which consist of 735 units, which translates into around 1,500 toilets, 2,000 sinks, and 103 main sewage waste lines.  This guy is the only drain cleaning guy in the complex. I don’t know how many kids he has, but I’m sure with our help he will be able to put them all threw college.  Freddy has gotten so busy he bought a jetting machine just for this account. (This is the Gods honest truth.)</p>
<p>You can call either of the two guys mentioned above, and ask for yourself about the power of this website, and the money it is helping them make.</p>
<p>We also offer a 90% money back guarantee you will be found, and you will be called.</p>
<p>You have nothing to lose, and so much to gain.  Give us a try, and I promise you will be telling me about you success soon, and if not you can call us, and we will send you 90% of your money back.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t Franchise, advertise is my message to you fellow plumbers.<br />
You can do it with a little help from waterheatinginfo.com</p>
<p>Before you invest any money for your plumbing company contact us.  We will stretch every dollar and maximize your return on investment like no other company/ website/ internet marking guru ever could.</p>
<p>I was over at a Pittsburgh based water heater installation company’s website for its and jiggles. These guys want 45,000 to 145,000 dollars to start a franchise!  All you need is effective low cost internet marketing, not a logo, or silly jingle.</p>
<p>We can guarantee you in writing that 2 of of 3 search terms you would like to be near the top of a google search, will be at the top of the 1st page within 3 months for as little as 250 dollars.  That is worth literally 100 to 1,000 dollars a day, because that’s what Google charges to be in “sponsored links” areas, which nobody even clicks!.</p>
<p>We look forward to speaking with you.<br />

</script>Do you ever get frustrated while searching for quality information about different things, and end up roaming the internet for hours just to come up empty handed???    Sadly the plumbing industry, and 90% of the websites that talk about/ sell tankless water heaters are mostly junk.</p>
<p>Someone recently Google searched -How to find a plumber to fix a water heater-  and WaterHeatingInfo.com came up number 8 on the first page.  Not bad considering we don&#8217;t spend any money on advertising, and up until yesterday made zero effort to be on the top of a search for that search term.</p>
<p>However when I looked at all the other &#8220;websites&#8221; i saw that they were all web directories, and non of which had anything to do with plumbing, or water heating information.  Anything of substance at least in my unbiased opinion.   <img src='http://www.waterheatinginfo.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>It seems like there are million of websites out there just out for a quick buck for their owners, which is the mission of most sites and that&#8217;s fine, however these &#8220;plumbing/ water heater websites&#8221; are selling referrals, and water heaters, and not one person that works for the company has ever installed one water heater.  That&#8217;s just not right to me!</p>
<p>Not to pat my self on the back to much, and I&#8217;m not saying I, or any other writers on this site are the best plumbers in the world, but just for the sake argument.  I have personally installed more than 2,500 water heaters, 30 tankless water heaters, 40 oil fired water heaters, 1 heat pump water heater, dozens of storage tanks, etc&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;</p>
<p>I know my business.  I know water heaters.  I know plumbers, and how to find good ones, how to avoid bad ones.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to put some major amount of time and resources to get a list of ten great plumbers from every state across America.  It&#8217;s not going to cover everyone, but it&#8217;s going to provide about 80% of America with a name/ number/ and all the info you will need.</p>
<p>If you need a plumber in your town, just tell us what it is that you need.<br />
We will find a great company, and in many cases we can even negotiate a great price on your behalf!</p>
<p>***(If you are a great plumber, or know plumbing company that would like to get involved with the greatness here give me a call 203-556-6449, or shoot me an email at  amnindustries@yahoo.com)</p>
<p>We know what materials cost, how long it takes to do the job, problems that could arise, and what&#8217;s a fair price or rip off status. We can normally get you a price over the phone, from a qualified plumber in your area, but if we can&#8217;t we will arm you with tons of info so you can be better educated/  better prepared.</p>
<p>Need a good plumber in your town?   If it&#8217;s not  total emergency let us find a plumber for you.  If we can&#8217;t find one for you, will let you know within the hour.  You have nothing to lose, and so much to gain.   (Ps. call anyone from the Contact Us page, and ask them how the site is working for them so far)<br />

</p><p>Let us installer your next honeywell steam humidifier. Were proud installers of about a dozen Honey Well True Steam humidifiers this year already.  I never took any picture of our past installations, so this post is about the installation of the true steam with a few nice pictures, we talk about what is done during the installation process, and the problems/ issues there could  be with installing them properly.</p>
<p>First thing to know is that the true steam is one of the best humidifiers on the market today.  The true steam is supplied with cold water, and the unit creates steam within it&#8217;s self, and is injected right into your hot air ducts.</p>
<p>Most humidifiers on the market are Cold water humidifiers, which are not as good as true steam humidifiers.   Cold water humidifiers inject cold water &#8220;steam&#8221;, which isn&#8217;t really steam at all, and this can cause mildew to grow in your duct work, if it&#8217;s not perfectly wrapped.<script type="text/javascript"><!--

</script></p>
<p>True steam humidifiers, like the Honeywell True Steam inject hot steam into the duct work, which will not promote mildew growth!  Which is extremely important.</p>
<p>Another great benefit of going with a true steam humidifier is they are much cleaner, and require much less maintenance (once per year)  than a cold water humidifier which needs regular maintenance (once per month)</p>

</p><div class="sticky_post"><p align="center"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The ultimate water heater pricing guide. </span></strong></p>
<p>Yesterday <a href="http://waterheatinginfo.com/" target="_blank">Waterheatinginfo.com</a> scouts went to the three major department stores that sell and offer installation on new hot water heaters.</p>
<p>The three stores we visited were <a href="http://www.lowes.com/pc_Water+Heaters_4294859101_4294937087_?masthead=false&amp;selectedLocalStoreBeanArray=[com.lowes.commerce.storelocator.beans.LocatorStoreBean%406b5c02c2%2C+com.lowes.commerce.storelocator.beans.LocatorStoreBean%406b9702c2%2C+com.lowes.commerce.storelocator.beans.LocatorStoreBean%406bb482c2%2C+com.lowes.commerce.storelocator.beans.LocatorStoreBean%406bf142c2%2C+com.lowes.commerce.storelocator.beans.LocatorStoreBean%406a2dc2c2]&amp;langId=-1&amp;langId=-1&amp;Ntt=&amp;URL=TopCategoriesDisplayView&amp;firstReferURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lowes.com%2Fpc_Water%2BHeaters_4294859101_4294937087_%3FnewSearch%3Dtrue%26ddkey%3Dhttp%3ASearchCatalogDisplay&amp;zipCode=06460&amp;isQvSearch=&amp;mastheadURL=SuperCategoryProductFocusView&amp;newSearch=true&amp;findStoreErrorURL=StoreLocatorDisplayView&amp;ddkey=http%3ASearchCatalogDisplay&amp;storeSearchZipLayoutButton.y=0&amp;storeSearchZipLayoutButton.x=0&amp;catalogId=10051&amp;catalogId=10051&amp;NttParam=&amp;storeId=10151&amp;storeId=10151&amp;qvRedirect=" target="_blank">Lowes</a>, <a href="http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Navigation?storeId=10051&amp;categoryID=527050&amp;langId=-1&amp;catalogId=10053&amp;navFlow=3&amp;searchRedirect=water%20heaters&amp;cm_sp=searchredirect-_-water_heater_lp-_-x-_-x&amp;locStoreNum=6202&amp;marketID=10" target="_blank">Home Depot</a>, and <a href="http://www.sears.com/shc/s/search_10153_12605?vName=Appliances&amp;cName=Water%20Heaters&amp;keyword=water%20heater" target="_blank">Sears</a>.  There prices were similar for the most part but there’s more to think about, other than just the “price”.  (<em>click on their links above to go straight that companies water heater pages</em>)</p>
<p>All three stores offer many combination&#8217;s with different size tanks, length and of warranties you may want on it.  You can get a 30, 40,  or 50 gallon tanks, in either natural gas, electric, or propane, in tall or short models, then you have 3 warranty options, either 6 year, 9 year, or 12 year plans.   The combinations are nearly endless and confusing.  Purely for comparisons shake I will compare the most popular (almost the cheapest) water heater tanks they offer.</p>
<p>The two models we will compare are the:<br />
40 gallon, natural gas, standard height (tall), 6 year warranted hot water heater and,</p>
<p>50 gallon, electric, standard height, (short), 6 year warranted hot water heater. (This info is up date as of today, 3/16/10 from Milford and Orange Connecticut, with 6% tax)<br />
This price chart information is the cost of the tank, installation fee, and tax.</p>
<p>(Note: There are “other” possible charges which we will also talk about)<br />
Measuring Charge-  (if you need someone to come out and tell you what kind of heater you need)<br />
Stair Charge &#8211; (if you have more than one set of stairs to deal with)<br />
Trip Charge – (if for any reason the installer needs to go back to the store)<br />
New Water Shut Off Valve &#8211; (if you need one)  Priced at the installers digression<br />
New Gas Shut Off Valve – (if you need one) Priced at the installers digression<br />
Ventilation piping  &#8211;  (if you need new piping) Priced at the installers digression</p>
<p>Electrical services can also be necessary in case there are wiring problems. This can be a problem with some electric hot water heater installations, but not very often.</p>
<p><strong>Lowes:   Whirlpool hot water heaters</strong> (IMO- whirlpool makes a decent dish washer, but not water heaters.)<br />
<em>Just look at their water heaters, they even look like they&#8217;re cheaply made.</em><br />
40 gallon, natural gas, 6 year heater -  price $792.54<br />
50 gallon, electric, 6 year heater   -       price $688.66<br />
(Other possible charges you may encounter)<br />
Measuring charge &#8211; $50<br />
Stairs fee &#8211; $40<br />
Trip charge &#8211; $50<br />
New shut off valve  - $100<br />
New gas valve &#8211; $65<br />
Venting pipe -  $80 – $125</p>
<p><strong>Home Depot:  GE hot water heaters</strong> (They are made in Mexico and travel thousands of miles, get handled by hundreds of people, get banged along with the shipments of grills, patio furniture, etc)  They are decent water heaters, but due to minimum wage  stock boys working the night shift, they are Not handled with care, and the result is about 90% of them will have dents and or dings in them.<br />
40 gallon, natural gas, 6 year heater- price $689.68<br />
50 gallon, electric, 6 year heater-        price $636.68<br />
(Other possible charges you may encounter)<br />
Measuring charge &#8211; $50<br />
Stairs fee &#8211; $40<br />
Trip charge &#8211; $50<br />
New shut off valve  &#8211; $100<br />
New gas valve &#8211; $65<br />
venting pipe -  $80 – $125</p>
<p><strong>Sears:  Kenmore hot water heaters </strong>(Decent water heater,  low instillation prices.)  I don&#8217;t have enough personal experience with Sears, or Kenmore water heaters to say anything negative about them.  In fact I will tell ya that I don&#8217;t get many repair or replacement calls about their water heaters being problematic, like I do about the other two companies mentioned above.  However I have heard quite a few negative stories about their customer service department, and warranties not being covered.<br />
40 gallon, natural gas, 6 year heater -  price $641.13<br />
50 gallon, electric, 6 year heater   -       price $619.93<br />
(Other possible charges you may encounter)<br />
measuring charge &#8211; $50<br />
stairs fee &#8211; $40<br />
trip charge &#8211; $50<br />
New shut off valve  &#8211; $100<br />
gas valve &#8211; $65<br />
venting pipe -  $80 – $125</p>
<p>As you can see the department stores prices are quite low.   However you need to realize these are the 6 year models. (THE CHEAPEST) heaters they sell.   The “good” department stores heaters are called the 12 year warranted water heaters, and they cost  150 – 200 dollars more than the 6 years!!!  In most cases the extended warranties are no more than a fee for the warranty. Nothing is different in the water heater from the 6,9,or 12 warranted heater besides a slight thickness in the foam insulation. And don’t forget about the “other possible charge you may encounter” because you will almost certainly need one item off the list.   (I know what I’m talking about because I worked for a plumbing company that was the only subcontractor/ installer for 13 Home Depots, where I installed well over 2,000 water heaters during that time)  Which leads me to say this, More than majority of the water heaters sold at these places are damaged in some way.  I know that sounds crazy but trust me, I installed OVER 2,000 of them and I like I said maybe, MAYBE  25 – 50 per 100 (and that may be generous) of them were totally free of all dents and dings.  (dents lead to cracks) cracks lead to per-mature tank failure.</p>
<p>The Installation-    You get a &#8220;3 hour window&#8221; when the installer will get there.  Don&#8217;t forget to read page 8 of your home depot installation contract (not sure about which page for the other companies) where it states the laundry list of fees you could &#8220;possibly encounter&#8221;.  as mentioned above.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>

<p>Everyone knows the old saying, you get what you pay for.   So be careful, those clueless Wall Street funded companies can sell you a piece of junk for an unbelievable price, but you need to ask yourself, &#8220;is it to good to be true?&#8221;   Would spending another 50 bucks be worth going with a company that specializes in water heaters?  We hope so.</p>
<p>I did a few Google searches about the &#8220;big boys&#8221; in regards to water heaters.<br />
Home Depot GE water heater complaints. (or) Lowes water heater complaints. etc.   You’ll find some sites like this if you do the same.</p>

I’m sure there are about 50 or more websites all about people complaining about these Wall Street bloated companies, because they are clueless about  how to handle, store, deliver, and install hot water heaters. They will replace them usually no questions asked, but in order to do that you must first drain the water heater cut it out and bring it into the store. Them they will determine if it is due a replacement after which time they will give you a new one. You bring it back home and now you must reinstall it yourself or find someone to do it for you.</p>
<p>With Waterheatinginfo.com we will handle all the bs for you. Measuring, sizing, picking up the heater, and removing the old one, with NO surprises. We stand behind our installations 100%. So why call the least when you can call the best.</p>

<p><em>DSIRE SOLAR</em> is a comprehensive source of information on state,  local, utility, and federal incentives and policies that promote the  adoption of solar technologies.  Funded by the U.S. Department of  Energy’s Solar Energy Technology Program, <em>DSIRE SOLAR</em> is a new  component of the DSIRE project that provides solar-specific policy  information to consumers, policy makers, program administrators, the  solar industry and other stakeholders</p>
