Is your gas meter properly sized? Possibly the gas company needs to come out and install a larger capacity meter?

Up-front costs are high
The tankless water heaters we tested cost $800 to $1,150, compared with $300 to $480 for the regular storage-tank types. Tankless models need electrical outlets for their fan...

I live here in NW Washington too and I like to be prepared. Having a 50 gallon tank of water can be a good thing. No power = no problem but a tankless water heater can use less energy too.

Yep, seen this many times also. Good point.

Looks like the lone receptical is not a GFCI. More of them woild also be nice. Not to mention tripping over the Roman tub facuet when you get into the tub.

...I've got one of those Whirlpool flamelock's that's 5 yrs. old.:( It's always blowing up inside of it so I wonder if the inner glass shell is busted and could be the problem.?......

This is a great idea.

All homes should have a main line cleanout, not all homes do though. Wait till the sun comes up to look further. Do you have a basement or crawlspace? If so, look for where your main line (sewer...

We get a lot of work thanks to Whirlpool. :) I (installing Bradford-White, Rinnai, Navien & Noritz).

I asked a manufacturers rep the same question a while ago, his explanation is (paraphrase here). electrical conduit is made to not let water in and plumbing pipe is made to not let water out. It's...

You may want to consider having your pipes snaked. Lots of junk can build up over time and (in my opinion) none of the over the shelf "Drain-O" products seem to work, not to mention it's bad for the...

Oops, my bad, thank you I stand corrected (tail between legs):o

Pay for it now or pay for it later.. permits will protect you.

The few times I have worked and helped work on Bosch tankless water heaters I have found them to be way behind the times. You may want to look into a Rinnai unit.

With 60 year old pipes, why not put yourself at ease and repipe DWV system with ABS pipe? One of the Journeymen plumbers I work with likes to say "it's like a bald tire, you may get 1000 miles or 10...

Hey Terry, thanks for the info. I'm a second year apprentice (at age 49) loving the work (when we have it) and wanted to know what other plumbers thought. Our shop is flat rate (with a few...

Maybe but I did not find one.

I read the forums quite regularly and have been enjoying my education here. I'd enjoy hearing the opinions of our more seasoned members on the pros and cons between flate rating jobs or charging by...

Thanks you guys, I have an HVAC company coming out and we'll get to the bottom of this.

I'm a few hours north of Terry, I'll bring the beer! :D

I don't know the age of your stops and supplies but I would replace them all. They're not expensive, you'll have peace of mind but you may need a stop puller tool if your stops are on copper. Good...

Hi all,

I have a Trane natural gas forced air heater for my home (model TDE060A936KZ). It's 12 years old and I am going to schedule it's yearly maintenance soon. I am getting an error code:...
