Eternal Hybrid Hot Water Heater
Fine Construction has been installing hot water heaters on all our current projects this month, this is not unusual, however, what is unusual is that no two have been the same. This week we are installing the Eternal Hybrid Water Heater unit, the cream of the crop of water heaters. With a 2 gallon storage tank, you won’t have to wait long for hot water like other traditional on demand units. The Eternal is 98% efficient, said to be the most efficient hybrid hot water tank on the market.

The next installation was a space ship looking hot water heater, the GE GEOSpring Hot Water Heater, another hybrid that uses electricity and air, typical of the heat pump technology. It stores hot water like the hot water tank that we all grew up with but with the heat pump technology it can save 25% of the cost of heating hot water.
Rinnai On Demand Hot Water Heater
The other hot water tank Fine Construction installed was the on-demand hot water tank. We specified the need for the Rinnai on-Demand Hot Water Heater, because the home has three bathrooms, and requires an up sized gas line due to the amount of gas needed to heat the water for this size home. These units are of great use if you have multiple bathrooms used for bathing and a large family using water all at the same time, especially a house full of girls, or teenagers in general. With the Rinnai on-demand unit, you’ll never run out of hot water.
This is why I decided to install the on demand unit in our home; with 3 ladies in the house I am usually the last one to shower, with the on demand unit I am guaranteed hot water, Yay! However, there is one downfall to this product, there is a wait time until you get the hot water. Once the demand has been made for the hot water, (turning on the hot faucet), the water starts heating and you have to wait for it to come to you. The great part of the product is not running out of hot water.
Finally the classic hot water heater. With all the energy efficient units on the market, I was surprised when one of our client wanted a regular 50 gallon electric hot water heater. There is only two people in this household so the payback would be a long time for a hybrid unit to pay for itself. But that’s why our suppliers offer all the different models. Call Fine Construction today and we can help you choose the right unit for you. (206) 938-2300
