Energy Efficient water heaters Sonora ca

Electric Hybrid Heat Pump water heater for your Sonora Ca home

Most of our customers around Sonora, Ca have heard about tankless water heaters and many are interested in them because of benefits like higher efficiency, longer lifespan, features like recirc pumps, and endless hot water. A less known about technology in energy efficient water heating is the electric hybrid heat pump water heater. They are about 2X as efficient as a conventional electric tank type water heater, and in my opinion are by far the best choice for heating with electricity (a much better option than electric tankless). They come with features that like touchscreen displays that let you easily change temperature, the heating mode and even putting it into vacation mode. Some of the models we have installed can even be controlled with an app on a cell phone letting users turn them on and off from almost anywhere. They are a little bit more expensive up front but come with a longer warranty than the cheaper less efficient models (10 years compared to 6) they currently have pretty good rebate programs they qualify for, and most of the time pay for themselves within 3 years.

Below are a couple of pictures of a hybrid electric water heater installed in Sonora, Ca including the energy sticker and a side view of the heater. The electric water heater we took out had a yearly estimated cost of $452 compared to this one of $151. This is a 65 gallon model so has more storage than the old 50 gallon model and is still less to operate!

Check out a short video we have here: https://youtu.be/MHhdrpBstPc

This is one of the quietest water heaters of this type we have heard!

When to replace old water pipes

Should I replace old water pipes or try to get more usage is a question many homeowners ask. This is because over time water pipes can wear out and require replacement. A sure sign of this is low flow rates (because pipes are full of corrosion). Some other signs include constant pipe repairs, small leaks, high water bills, or rusty water coming from faucets.  Many times valves and hose bibs will not be functioning as well either due to corrosion in the pipe they are attached to.  If you see these signs call Optimized Plumbing & Piping today at 209-3524294. We are a full service plumbing contractor who serves Tuolumne and Calaveras counties.

Water pipes can last twenty five years or more , but sooner or later constant use takes a toll on any piping system requiring you to replace old water pipes.

  • Copper can develop pin hole leaks.
  • Galvanized pipe can look good on the outside and be completely corroded on the inside.
  • Plastic pipe can have any number of problems including : being brittle, splitting, cracking, bursting or being chewed on by rodents.

While deciding when to replace old water pipes in your home you should consider that even though it is a cost you were probably hoping to avoid it will pay off because of savings on costly plumbing repairs, floods that can happen because old pipes start to leak, or high water bills due to pipes leaking underground. Just to remedy one of these problems will probably pay off in the long run. This is because a quality copper re-piping job can last for twenty five years or more.

Another benefit of installing new water pipes in your home is that new pipe, fittings, and valves are lead free to protect your family and the environment. With no corrosion after you have chosen to replace old water pipes you will also notice that water has a cleaner taste, less smell and will require less filtration. You may also notice less staining of plumbing fixtures since rust in old pipes could be causing rust stains.

If you would like to schedule us to give you a quote to replace old water pipes or any other plumbing service give us a call at 209-352-4294. Our Sonora CA based plumbers provide service for all parts of Tuolumne County, and Calaveras County including Angels Camp, San Andreas, Copperopolis, Murphys, Arnold, Twain Harte, Mi Wuk Village, and Groveland.

Water filter options

Optimized Plumbing & Piping is proud to offer many options if you would like a new water filter. These include whole house water filter, point of use water filters, and reverse osmosis water filters.

Below you will find the benefits of each but if you have any questions or would like to schedule an installation please call us today at 209-352-4294.

Whole house water filters

  • Can provide cleaner drinking water.
  • Can provide odorless water (can even eliminate rotten egg smell).
  • Cleaner bathroom and kitchen fixtures due to less mineral deposits
  • Less staining of clothes
  • Less corrosion to pipes, valves, and plumbing fixtures
  • Less damage to faucets due to small particles
  • Less chance of running toilets due to small particles in toilet fill valve

Water filters remove sand, sediment, calcium, magnesium, chlorine, lead, and other elements from water.

Point of use water filters (including carbon filters or reverse osmosis)

Reverse osmosis uses a semipermeable membrane to filter water. They can remove 99% of elements including lead, mercury, copper, pesticides, herbicides, nitrates, tannins, bacteria, and disease causing pathogens. Most RO filters have between 3-5 stages of filtration.

  1. Course pre filter to remove sand, rust, and sediment.
  2. Carbon block which removes chlorine, and taste/odor.
  3. Carbon block further reduces taste and odor.
  4. Reverse osmosis membrane reduces microscopic impurities.
  5. Activated carbon granules finish off the process

RO maintenance

  • Carbon pre filters normally need to be replaced every 6 months.
  • RO membranes normally need to be replaced every 2-5 years.
  • Carbon post filter normally needs to be replaced every 6 months.
  • The whole system should be sanitized every 12 months
  • Always follow manufacturers instructions.

Gas line installation (how to choose a company)

Choosing the right Sonora Ca plumber for a gas line installation is much more important than finding the lowest price. At Optimized Plumbing & Piping our goal is to do a quality gas line installation job at a reasonable price which is what we think our customers expect.  If you are looking into a new gas line installation call us at 209-352-4294. Or continue reading for tips on how to choose the right plumber for the job.

 

Gas line installations are not one of the do it yourself plumbing jobs.  A gas line installer should have served an apprenticeship, and had proper on the job training. This is to ensure the safety, and functionality of the gas line they install. As an end result this will ensure the safety of the people who use the building the gas line is installed in.

Below are 5 tips on how to choose the right plumber for your gas line installation

#1 Find out if they hire trained help.  Optimized Plumbing & Piping only uses Sonora, Ca plumbers who are qualified to install gas lines.  Sometimes in order to keep payroll low contractors will hire unqualified help to do gas line installations.  This is a shortcut that could put you and your family at risk

#2 The ability to size the pipe properly. Gas lines should be sized properly per Uniform plumbing code charts to ensure adequate supply reaches each appliance, or piece of equipment.

#3 Using the right material for the gas line installation, ( not what is cheapest. )For larger gas lines nothing beats welded iron pipe done by a certified pipe welder. For smaller residential installations threaded iron pipe and fittings are best. Plastics can be adequate for underground but can easily be pierced by digging in your yard with a shovel or pick.

#4 Installing the right shutoff valves. Some people cut corners on gas lines by not installing the proper shutoff valves, gas flex lines, and dirt legs at all appliances or equipment. This can lead to problems in case of a gas leak. In the case of dirt legs it can cause problems with your gas appliances by letting small pieces of dirt into the appliance.

#5 The commitment to only do quality gas line installations.  Even when the right materials and sizing are used there is a lot more that goes into a quality gas line installation including the supports, leak testing , and inspection.

Optimized Plumbing & Piping is a full service plumbing contractor who serves all areas of Tuolumne County, and Calaveras County including Sonora, Angels Camp, San Andreas, Copperopolis, Murphys, Arnold, Groveland, and Mi Wuk village. We also have Modesto, CA plumbers who service Stanislaus County including Modesto, Rivverbank,and Oakdale.
