My wife and I purchased this home that is over 30 years old. It had the original Furnace, a rented Hot Water Tank, and an old A/C unit that was quite loud.
We saw a display for Reliance, at our local Mall. We signed up for an assessment.
When they were done, we realized that the cost was very reasonable and that the saving would be outstanding.
So we had our A/C, Thermostate and Furnace replace with up to date new units that are over all updated and better overall for the house.
The real gem in this story is the hot water tank. The agent explained the difference between tankless and our present system. It was a no brainer. By installing the tankless hot water system, we don't waste gas on heating water that we are not using.
Old hot water tanks heat the water every few hours, whether you use it or not, so you are wasting your money burning gas.
The Tankless hot water system ONLY heats the water when you turn on the hot water tap to fill your tub, sink or dishwasher or what ever you need the hot water for.
We have saving in our gas bills that were outstanding. I could not believe how much money we wasted all these years.
In my personal opinion, this is a must for every home.
Some may ask does it not take more time to heat the water. The answer is yes, but only by seconds (5 at the most) but worth the cost saving in the end.
The Tankless hot water systems are big in Europe, now I know why.
Thank you Reliance
