  • Size
    Linked to the first question on how many users as well as the space at the location is very important.

ANSWER

Checking your Gas Hot Water System periodically is important however you need to know what to look for. The most common signs that you need to replace your Gas Hot Water System.

  • Luke warm water
  • Brown water from your Hot water taps
  • The pilot light keeps turning off
  • Water pressure is very low
  • The Tank is leaking from the outside
ANSWER

If there is a problem with your Electric Hot Water System we suggest turning on all the safety valves located on the left hand side. Be sure to shut off all the electricity and water until an inspection can be done by our Plumbers.

ANSWER

A tempering valve is used to regulate and manage the temperature of the water using a 3-way valve to mix hot and cold water. The valve sets to achieve a temperature of 50 degrees and can be adjusted. This is to prevent scalding and accidental burns from occurring and in most states is a mandatory requirement when installing your Gas Hot Water System. Our Plumbing experts have had experience with installation and repair of such Gas Hot Water Systems and you can rest assured that our installation will be within compliance with safety regulations.
