Dont Like Tankless? Or Cant Install One? You Can Still Have High Efficiency
Nov 11th
In a lot of instances a tankless is unable to be installed due to venting restrictions, or maybe your not interested in a tankless but still want greater efficiency…. does this mean you have to stick with your old style inefficient tank type water heater?
Nope, there is a solutions….. Envirosense.
GSW makes a conventional style tank type system that is 90% efficient.
The Envirosense Power Vent is a 50-gallon, 76,000 BTU gas water heater, equipped with a fully submerged, spiral-shaped condensing heat exchanger. This design provides much greater heat transfer surface than a standard straight flue tube, resulting in 90% thermal efficiency and higher hot water output than standard water heaters. With a 22” diameter, Envirosense Power Vent can be installed in less space than a 75-gallon unit and delivers greater recovery and lower operating costs. The Envirosense Power Vent is so advanced, it can deliver “endless hot water for showers” … a continuous flow of over 3 gallons per minute
If you are not keen on a tankless water heater you can still have unlimited hot water with this GSW high efficiency tank. This qualifies for Government Grants and Rebates

Tankless Warranty Facts
Oct 4th
Tankless systems all seem to have different warranties and information regarding their heat exchangers, parts, and labour on installation. Here is a small break down of what you as a home owner can expect. 
Bosch – 12 year warranty on tankless heat exchanger and 2 years on Parts.
Navian – 15 year warranty on tankless heat exchanger and 5 years on Parts
Noritz - 10 year warranty on tankless heat exchanger and 5 years on Prats.
Rinnai – 12 year warranty on tankless heat exchanger and 5 on Parts, but also comes with 1 year on labour.
Takagi - 10 year warranty on tankless heat exchanger, 5 years on Parts, and 1 year on labour.
It pays to do your research as you can see there is a bit of a difference between the different brands and the warranties that they offer. These tankless systems are designed to last for a number of years, many years longer than your conventional tank water heater.
Also know that the company you hire to do the installation more often than not (if they are reputable) will add additional warranty on to your unit. Make sure to get a few quotes and make the warranty a priority when negotiating the price.
Upgrading your Furnace?
Sep 27th
If your upgrading your furnace why not have the installer put a take off on the gas line. What I mean by that is….
Sometimes on furnace installations the gas piping needs to be replaced or altered in some way. When you negotiate for your deal get them to throw in a natural gas BBQ take off or maybe one for a gas water heater. basically its a T that’s capped but gives you the option to add appliances to your gas line.
Furnace systems are expensive get them to give you a little extra for your hard earned money!
Price out a Rinnai Tankless
Sep 21st

Price out a Rinnai Tankless, the rc98hpi is a condensing tankless with a energy factor of 94%. It is a very stable unit with little to no issues. If your looking for stability and reliability they you will probably want to stick with Rinnai or another brand of 
tankless water heaters. But if you want the highest efficient tankless on the market you will want to go with a Navien unit.
Either way we offer access to all units and can get you an installed price quote for which ever way you end want to persue.
