Tankless Water Heaters Take Up Very Little Space, Heat Water On Demand, Are 50% More Efficient

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Ben Franklin Plumbing Denver has a way to help you cut your heating bill significantly. By installing a tankless water heater, that heats water on demand versus heating water all day long when it’s not being used, Steve Jusseaume, owner of Ben Franklin Plumbing Denver, a master plumber for 30 years, has installed hundreds of Rinnai tankless water heaters in homes just like yours.

A tankless water heater provides an endless supply of hot water, and the Rinnai tankless system is able to service three water outlets simultaneously while maintaining a constant hot water temperature. The Rinnai brand water heater supplies hot water at the rate of up to 9.8 gallons PER MINUTE.

This tankless water heater is 30% more efficient than a natural-gas fueled water heater and is 50% more efficient than an electric water heater. The units are compact and wall-mounted. The many models are no bigger than 23 inches tall, no wider than 18.5 inches, and no deeper than 9.8 inches.

Tankless water heaters installed by Ben Franklin Plumbing Denver save on precious fuel costs because they don’t continuously heat water all day long when it’s not being used. Think about it, traditional water heaters heat the water in them while you’re at work and even while you’re sleeping. Using the Rinnai tankless water heater, you only pay to heat water when you need it, and for as long as you want it.

Another benefit of a Rinnai tankless water heater is that it shuts off automatically when the water supply is closed, and they have a life expectancy of 20 years versus the 10 years a traditional water heater is expected to perform.

Conserving energy and water are among the many services Ben Franklin Plumbing Denver performs in households in Arvada, Aurora, Brighton, Broomfield Castle Rock, Centennial, Cherry Hills Village, Commerce City, Denver, Englewood, Glendale, Golden, Greenwood Village, Highlands Ranch, Lakewood, Littleton, Lone Tree, Morrison, Northglenn, Parker, Sedalia, Thornton, Westminster and Wheat Ridge.

Like Americans everywhere, Coloradans and Denverites are naturally concerned what the winter weather will be like. They’re worried about utility bills for this coming fall. They’ve already experienced a tremendous hike this year, and another is expected, since the PUC okayed the increase. For some people, this could be the increase that broke the camel’s back, as they say, or rather the added expense could be the final straw in an already strained budget.

Being informed is always optimum, says Steve Jusseaume. Being proactive is even better, as the customers who do change out their traditional water heating systems won’t suffer nearly the increases in utility bills that homeowners who duck and cover their head will see this coming winter.”

ENDLESS, CONSTANT HOT WATER MEANS YOU CAN FILL A POOL AND STILL SHOWER

Ben Franklin Plumbing’s GoHot™ technology revamps 100-year-old conventional systems

DENVER, CO—If you’ve ever taken a cold shower because you had laundry to do and a dishwasher full of dirty dinner plates to wash, you know what it’s like to chill out. That’s the problem with conventional water heaters, according to Steve Jusseaume, owner of Ben Franklin Plumbing in Denver, Colorado, one of the few plumbing contractors to market goHot™ systems that heat your residential water as needed, allowing you to fill a pool with swim-temp water and still not take a cold shower.

Ben Franklin’s goHot system turns on and off as needed. It reduces your energy use and you’ll begin to see the savings immediately, says Jesseaume, who has installed goHot systems citywide.

Three times more efficient than tank designed conventional systems, the space saving design of the goHot system means you gain 75 square feet of usable space in your basement or utility closet while saving hundreds of dollars a year on your energy bill. That’s because the goHOT unit is 88 percent smaller than a conventional water heater—approximately the size of your briefcase.

This innovative technology allows you to control the temperature of your household water with the touch of a button, dialing in your desired water temperature to increase or decrease the temperature at will, with just the touch of a single button.

Better yet, the goHOT system means you’ll never experience a catastrophic water heater failure again, and it lasts up to three times longer than a conventional water heater. Built tough, the goHOT system features trademarked pop-in parts that mean you also avoid costly repairs.

Our expert installers estimate that you’ll save up to 40 or 50 percent on your water heating bill each year.

Plus Ben Franklin Plumbing’s two-year guarantee means that if you’re dissatisfied, we’ll replace your goHOT system with a new conventional system and refund the difference between the two heating systems any time within the first 24 months following installation.
