He explained everything about my plumbing problem in an exceedingly kind and understanding demeanour.
The work was finished, and they even cleaned up after!
I called at 10am and they were at my place by 12 pm and cleared the drain and were on there way in less than ten mins.
Tankless Water Heaters - Los Angeles Plumbers Install Hot Water Heaters For Your Home
By Connie Ragen Green
Tankless water heaters are energy efficient because they only heat water as it is needed. You are probably using a traditional storage water heater that keeps forty or fifty gallons of water heated on a regular basis. If you would not leave your home’s heating system running while you are away all day at work or out of town on a vacation, why would you continue to heat a large amount of water that is simply standing idly when you are not there to use it?
The way that a tankless water heater works is that the water is heated directly. When you turn on the hot water tap in your kitchen or bathroom, the cold water travels through a pipe into the tankless unit. If your unit is gas fired, a gas burner heats the water. If it is electric, an electric element heats the water. The result is that you have a constant supply of hot water delivered to you as you need it, typically at a rate of two to five gallons per minute, or 7.6 to 15.2 liters per minute. A gas fired tankless unit will produce a higher flow rate than one powered by electricity.
But this method for heating water in your home is definitely not for everyone. Some of the smaller models of this type of water heater simply cannot supply enough hot water for a large family with simultaneous activities going on. If you are running your dishwasher while someone is trying to take a shower, for example, a tankless heater for your water will be stretched to its limit.
There are some ways to overcome this problem that you may not even know about, because your plumbing company did not take the time to explain it to you fully. One way is to install a double unit, which consists of two tankless water heating units, connected in a parallel configuration for simultaneous hot water demand. Another option is to install a separate heater for your large appliances - dishwashers, washing machines, and other large water usage machines - and another one for your kitchen and bathrooms. That will allow everyone in the family to have access to the hot water they need at exactly the time they need it.
You will want to consult with your plumbers to find out what options make the most sense for you. If you do decide to install a tankless water heating system in your home, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you are being energy efficient while also saving money on your plumbing system.

Signs That You Need Your Water Heater Replaced
By Chad Wiley
The first sign that you need to replace your water heater is its inability to heat the water effectively if at all. If the water is slow to heat or does not get as hot, you may need a new water heater. If outside temperatures are colder, the cooler water may just be the result of the heater having to work harder to heat the water. First try to adjust the heat settings on the heater. If this does not improve the situation, you may need a new heater.
A leaking tank is another sign that you need a new water heater. If the leak is a small drip and it could be fixed with a patch, attempt to fix it yourself but keep an eye on the leak. The patch may come off and the leak could start again. If the leak is large and in need of a welded repair, consult a professional to do the job. The DIY weld could result in further damage.
Corrosion can result from a leak that has been dripping for a long time. This will reduce the efficiency and productivity of a water heater. Corrosion can also make it more difficult to disassemble your water heater to replace one part in hopes of not having to replace the whole unit.
If the age of your water heater is over 10-15 years old, consider replacing the system before it goes bad. The functionality and efficiency of water heaters decline as years of use go by and the poor heating quality could be due to an aged machine. If you are going to replace an old system, replace the pipes that come from the heater as well. This will ensure a high quality heat as the entire system has been replaced.
Newer models are higher efficiency and last longer than older models. Look for the Energy Star label on the appliance’s sticker. Before purchasing a new unit, you need to obtain some information. What type of fuel is needed? Natural gas, electric or propane? Find out what gallon size you will need. Do not buy a water heater that is too big for the space you have and make sure the new unit can fit through the door through which you carry it in the home. Tankless water heaters are a smart upgrade. They are smaller and can fit closer to the bathroom and kitchen where you will need hot water. These heaters last 20 years and are far more efficient than tanked heaters.
