"We hired Mike's crew to do a fairly good sized bit of work on our house that began in Dec of 2017 and was completed in May of 2018. -- SCOPE OF JOB -- - Building out an entirely new Full bathroom (with a large walk-in shower) - removing 3 dilapidated balconies, walling over (1) that was internal wall only (yes, it was a balcony INSIDE the house), walling over (1) that was an external wall, and replacing (1) with a large, new pair of double-hung windows - a complete and total renovation of the kitchen, installing all new cabinets and countertops, all new plumbing and electrical, all new tile floor and tile backsplash, new over-range hood vent, and new lighting, etc. - part of the kitchen reno included opening up a load-bearing wall to expand footprint of kitchen a bit, which, naturally, involved working with a structural engineer and dealing with requisite permitting - full demo and removal of an awkwardly installed fireplace and flue (not original to the house), which required patching of the roof above and the wood floor below - running plumbing and electrical necessary to place washer/dryer in the Den - nearly full renovation of 2 full and 1 half bathrooms: the 2 full bathtubs were left, but all had new vanity, sink, floor tiling, toilet, lighting - correcting water damage due to badly installed plumbing and exterior walls by previous owners - patching and completely reshingling part of the roof - putting up new cedar shingling along front and back of house where balconies were removed - fixing/patching damaged parque flooring by using extra "squares" picked up from area to be used for new bathroom - running new electrical circuits, as-needed - dealing with buliding, electrical, and plumbing permits and inspections with the town - a bunch of interior painting: all the bathrooms, all ceilings in the entire house, and a few of the larger rooms - installing 2 new ceiling fans, including one from a 16' ceiling - and probably a few other things I've missed. This was not a small job. -- QUALITY OF WORK -- Let's start with the end. The final product was GOOD QUALITY WORK. There's not a person who's walked into the house who hasn't said, "Wow, they did a great job!" -- and they did. The entire time I felt like they cared about how everything came out as if it was their own house. -- COST -- They charged a fair price. I never felt like they were nickel-and-dime-ing me. I'm sure you could probably find someone to do it a little cheaper, but they provide a really good bang for your buck. - THE INTANGIBLES - I live 250 miles away from the house, which presented a whole host of challenges on this project. I can't imagine having done this with anyone other than Mike's crew. For example, when crap hit the fan after a storm, they were on-site and taking care of things before I even had a chance to really freak out about it. They helped me with receiving items being shipped to the house -- appliances, materials, etc ... and not just taking the thing inside, but actually inspecting the item in question to make sure it wasn't damaged. More than once they caught a damaged item and saved my skin. It was like having someone I trusted on-site all the time. And you can't put a price tag on that. -- WHAT THEY ARE NOT -- They are not designers, so come with plans for what you want to do. I also get the sense that this project was on the larger end of projects that they deal with and, as such, I had to keep on top of the project, the progress, and the incoming invoices. I'm sure if you're just doing a bathroom or just a kitchen reno, or just putting in a new set of windows ... then this doesn't even pop up as an issue. -- AT THE END OF THE DAY -- I would use them again. In fact, I'll probably be reaching out to them soon for a quote on some roofing work ... because it's never done."

Yes, although they have a higher upfront cost compared to traditional units, tankless water heaters can be worth the investment for many homeowners. They heat water on demand, eliminating standby energy losses and leading to 24% to 34% greater energy efficiency for homes using up to 41 gallons of hot water daily. Tankless units last longer—around 20 years with proper maintenance—and require less space than traditional units. They also reduce the risk of leaks and water damage since there's no tank to corrode and fail.
Tankless water heaters, including gas-powered models, do require electricity to operate components like the ignition and control systems. This means they won't function during a power outage. If you live in an area prone to outages and want to ensure a continuous hot water supply, consider installing a battery backup system or generator to keep your tankless water heater running when the power goes out.
You should set your tankless water heater to 120 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal safety and efficiency, as recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. Setting the temperature at 120 degrees prevents scalding accidents, particularly for children and the elderly, and reduces energy consumption. Temperatures above 140 degrees increase the risk of burns and promote mineral buildup, which can decrease the system's efficiency.
A 20-minute shower uses 50 to 60 gallons of water, assuming a flow rate of 2.5 to 3 gallons per minute. A typical whole-house tankless water heater can produce 4 to 8 gallons of hot water per minute, providing continuous hot water for long showers. By installing low-flow showerheads and reducing shower time, you decrease water consumption and energy costs, maximizing the efficiency of your tankless system.
With proper maintenance, a tankless water heater lasts around 20 years, significantly longer than conventional tank water heaters, which last between 8 and 12 years. Regular inspections and timely repairs can further extend its lifespan. To keep your tankless system operating efficiently, have it inspected or serviced annually and address any minor issues promptly by contacting a local tankless water heater repair service.
