Here are some key considerations for installing a tankless water heater:

An endless supply of hot water. This is great for larger families who may have large hot water needs.

Energy savings. You are only heating the water you use, not continually heating the water in the tank.

Space. Tankless water heaters are smaller than tank water heaters.

The above benefits are dependent upon a quality install of a unit that is specified for your needs.

There are also other considerations if you are thinking of a tankless water heaters.

Endless hot water does not mean instant hot water. For instant hot water, you need a re-circulation system, and possibly a small holding tank. Hmmm.

There are no water savings with a tankless water heater. And you actually may use more water if your habit is to take a hot shower as long as the hot water holds out. This, of course, also bites into energy savings.

More maintenance. Although there isn’t a tank to flush, burn assemblies or heating elements require ongoing maintenance to maintain peak efficiency.

Installation cost for a tankless water heater can be two or three time more than a tank water heater. Not only is the equipment significantly more expensive, but the work required to retrofit a tankless water heater is extensive.

Is a tankless water heater right for you? Only you know. If you have significant hot water usage and want to be green, maybe so. But it will not save you money; the pay back is not there.

Whatever your hot water needs, we will be happy to help you find the solution that is right for you.

Instant Hot Water

How long do you have to wait for the hot water to arrive in your bathroom each morning? One minute? Two? Three? No matter how long, it can be annoying, time consuming and a water waster.

There are two basic solutions to get hot water quicker. You can put the hot water source closer to the need, but that may be expensive. The more common solution is to have a re-circulation system on your hot water lines.

A re-circulation system consists of the periodic pumping of hot water through the hot water line so hot water is available upon demand. The excess water is returned to the heater via a return line. Many re-circulation systems have a timing device, which only runs the system during times of normal usage.

If you are interested in having instant (on demand) hot water, we will be happy to review your needs.

Business cards are definitely the most affordable and most influential promotional material for your business. This is the reason why I encourage you to make the most out of your business card. Do everything to make it a memorable permanent advertisement for your company.

The magnetic business card does just that. It is more than just a card. It is the one marketing piece no one will throw away. I look at my own refrigerator and see the various contractors, lawyers, etc and whenever there is a time I may need someone, there is the card right on my refrigerator.

Magnetic business cards can be a very effective marketing tool. In addition to supplying your potential clients with your contact information, you are also ensuring that they will see your information on a daily basis. A magnetic business card is something that homeowners can and will actually use. They can put them on their refrigerator at home or at work or on their desk. Every time they use your magnetic business card, they will be reminded of your service.

Magnetic business cards are easily accessible and are a lot harder to lose, once you stick them and forget them. The refrigerator is not the only surface that your magnetic business card will stick too. File cabinets, lockers, and even cars can become places of advertisement for your business and its services.

Most business card printers will also be able to supply you with magnetic business cards. These magnetic business cards can appear exactly the same as the paper version, but printed on a magnet. If you would rather have a different design printed, you can do that as well and your Footbridge Media marketing consultant can help you with the design.

Listed below are several companies on where to get magnetic business cards at reasonable prices:
