5 Facts About Tankless Water Heaters

Monday, March 2nd, 2020

Picture a water heater in your head. You probably are imagining a big tank with pipes and lines coming out of it right? Now take away the tank.

Perhaps you are confused by that idea or perhaps the room you pictured in your mind is actively flooding, depending on your imagination. However, we wanted to bring this idea up because you don’t actually require a tank to get hot water. This is due to the advent of tankless water heaters.

This type of water heater is just about what it sounds like it is: a hot water heater that doesn’t require the use of a tank holding multiple gallons of water. Not only is this a pretty great piece of technology but it has multiple benefits too. If you are on the hunt for a new, energy-efficient hot water heater, take some time to learn more about the tankless option.

Why Work with a Professional HVAC Technician?

Monday, February 3rd, 2020

When your heater or air conditioner is on the fritz it can be tempting to try to fix the issue yourself, or maybe consider calling an amateur to get the job done on the cheap. We want you to know that neither of these options is a good idea. While you may feel like you will be saving money, going this route will cost you more in the long run.

There is a big difference between amateur work and the service that is provided by a professional technician. What’s more, there is a big difference when you schedule your services with our Memphis HVAC company.

How to Tell Its Time For a New Boiler

Monday, December 23rd, 2019

Your boiler is a unique and powerful heating source for your home. Unlike a forced-air type of heater, such as a furnace, a boiler is a radiant heating system. Through the use of heated water cycled through a series of pipes and, in some cases radiators, your boiler keeps your home exceptionally comfortable and warm throughout even the coldest of winters.

With that said, something that your boiler has in common with other types of heaters is that it will eventually reach the end of its lifespan. Yes, even this wonderful radiant heating system will eventually require boiler replacement in Memphis.

Obviously, deciding to replace your boiler is a big event. And it isn’t one you want to go into without knowing that it is the best option for your home. After all, if your boiler can still be used for another several years, you shouldn’t be replacing it early.

In order to be sure that you need to opt for a full heater replacement, you need to know what signs to look for.

When you have a good boiler, your home should stay nice and optimally cozy throughout the cool months that Memphis sees each year.
