The normal hot water electric power source for your system could come in many different methods and types. There are solar, tankless, point of use, and conventional water heaters.

The electric tankless water heater is an energy efficient means to supply your needs. Because of this there is a $1500 federal tax deduction on the purchase and installation on one of these units. These units can supply 2 to 5 gallons of hot water every minute. The brands that are available from John C. Flood, Inc are Renai, Takagi, Bosch, and Noritz.

Another type of hot water heater that qualifies for the federal tax deduction is the solar hot water heater. These energy efficient units harness the power of the sun that supply you with a clean, energy efficient means to have your hot water supplied without any additional cost to your energy bill. The manufacturers of these units available from John C. Flood, Inc are Bradford White, A. O. Smith, Ruud, Rheem, and State.

If your need for hot water is in an isolated area of your house or garage, then a point of use hot water heater may fit your needs. These little electrical units can supply a continuous flow of hot water where you need it. These units can be placed inside a shower stall or next to the washing machine. They only come on when turned on. There is no waste and the outlet is directly linked to the dispensing head or inlet to your unit that needs hot water. John C. Flood, Inc stocks and installs these units from several manufacturers including ISE, Powerstar, Ariston, Rheem, and Ruud.

Discounts that are available are from $50 off on any water heater replacement, and a $100 discount for the installation of any new tankless water heater. Both of these discounts are valid until December 30, 2010.

Everyone uses hot water; electric power is an efficient means for supplying the energy needs in many different fashions to fit your particular needs.

For many years the choice you had for water heaters was to decide on how large of a holding tank you would need.  Now you have another choice and when you select this method of water heating you will save money and qualify for a federal tax credit.

Plumbing and heating technology have advanced and we now have Tankless Water Heaters.  No more will you be heating a large volume of water each time the heating cycle kicks in.

When you think of it with the old style of hot water tank, you would be heating up a large reserve that would be available for the next time a batch of hot water was needed for a bath or laundry.

That large tank of water would sit there all day and slowly it would cool off.  When it got down to the point that the thermostat would kick in it would heat the tank back up to your high temp setting and then the cycle would start all over again.

So why use energy to heat up water that you do not use?  A tankless heater is so efficient it only uses power or fuel on demand.  When you turn on a hot water faucet the heating method kicks right in so fast that you have a nice supply of perfect temperature water for as long as you need it.

Shut off the faucet and the heater shuts off.  No longer are you paying the natural gas company or the power company to heat up a big tank of hot water to only have it sit there and cool off and heat up again.

It just makes perfect sense to use only the energy you need, and not to be wasteful.  The brands of tankless systems that the John C. Flood, Inc. company carry are; Renai, Takagi, Bosch and Noritz.  Contact a Flood team member now to see how you can get $200 off from one of these new installations until December 31, 2009.  Ask them about how to apply for the tax credit also.
