11 Nov 08 Atlanta Water Heater Set to 125 Degrees
Q. At what temperature should my Atlanta water heater be set?
A. Your Atlanta water heater shouldn’t be hotter than 125 degrees, which will provide plenty of hot water for normal household activities. However that’s too hot for a child’s bath, which should be no more than 100 degrees. A young child’s skin burns or scalds much more easily than an adult’s.
If the house is brand new, the factory setting on the faucets may be dangerously hot; at 150 degrees, it takes two seconds to get a third-degree burn.
Here’s how to check the temperature: Before anyone uses any hot water in the morning, let the kitchen hot tap run for two minutes and hold an outdoor or candy thermometer in the stream of running water until the temperature stops rising. If the temperature is above 125, turn the water heater’s thermostat down.
Atlanta Gas water heaters have an external thermostat near the bottom. Electric ones have two panels screwed to the top and bottom of the tank or one panel on the side. Set it to ”low” or ”energy efficient.” Wait 24 hours, then test the water temperature again to see if it’s in the safe range. If it isn’t, your water heater needs a service call.

07 Nov 08 Water Heater Dallas Texas Heat Barrier
New Radiant Heat Barrier Installs in a Snap
The energy-saving benefits of radiant heat barriers have been thoroughly proven, but conventional methods of installation are time-consuming, costly and sometimes dangerous. Instead of stapling the foil material to the underside of the rafters from ridge to eave, patented Solar-SNAP(TM) Radiant Heat Barrier from Rhino Hide is simply rolled into place. Greatly reducing the risk of step-throughs and ceiling damage, it doesn’t require installers to crawl out onto insulation or hard-to-reach areas.
Able to be hung in ΒΌ of the time of traditional, staple-in products, Solar-SNAP Radiant Heat Barrier employs unique, built-in spring steel battens every 24″ to secure it in place without harming roofing components. Unlike staples that pull out or tear the material, the innovative battens support the barrier evenly, preventing drooping. Over time, they dig farther into the joist, helping to improve their hold.
Available in 16″ and 24″ widths, the convenient barrier fits effortlessly in between the trusses on the underside of roof decking. It can also be easily removed and reinstalled for inspection, cleaning and repairs. Perforated, the breathable Solar-SNAP Radiant Heat Barrier won’t trap vapor.
Since the heavy-duty barrier doesn’t impede ventilation within the attic, air can flow freely behind it from the eave to the ridge vents. This reduces moisture buildup, as well as potential mold and mildew problems.
In case of leaks, the Solar-SNAP Radiant Heat Barrier directs water toward the eaves to shield the ceiling and insulation from damage. Prior to installation, UltraBAN and/or UltraBAN-PRO from Rhino Hide can also be sprayed to help protect the roof from moisture-related issues.
State-of-the-art Solar-SNAP Radiant Heat Barrier lowers attic heat in the summer and maintains attic temperature in the winter. It blocks up to 97% of the radiant heat, saving homeowners 25-35% of their energy costs. By lowering humidity, the economical barrier increases comfort in both air conditioned and non-conditioned homes. Reclaiming storage space in the attic, it shelters items from excessive heat.
Rhino Hide’s Solar-SNAP Radiant Heat Barrier comes in 500′ rolls and has a suggested price of $299. Rhino Hide also offers a version of Solar-SNAP for garage doors and water heater applications.

07 Nov 08 Attention Atlanta, Dallas: Settlement closing soon on polybutylene pipes
The Plumber Blog reminds consumers whose homes contain a polybutylene pipe system that time is running out to file a claim in a nationwide class-action settlement.
Many homes built in Georgia, Texas and Nevada during the 1980s and early 1990s were constructed using PB plumbing. It’s a somewhat flexible, gray piping with plastic or metal fittings held in place by aluminum or copper bands. It might be used in an attic, crawl space, within walls or a water heater closet, but is often installed beneath insulation materials.
Under the terms of the class-action settlement with the manufacturer, Shell Oil, homeowners who have experienced a polybutylene pipe leak might qualify for a free plumbing replacement if a leak is detected by Jan. 31, 2009, and they file their claims by May 1, 2009.
Polybutylene plumbing was installed in an estimated 6 million homes nationwide between Jan. 1, 1978, and July 31, 1995, the dates covered by the settlement..

07 Nov 08 Las Vegas, Dallas, Atlanta Water Heaters
Tank Water heaters Dallas
In household and commercial usage, most water heaters are of the tank type. These consist of tanks in which a given amount of water is kept continuously hot and ready for use. Typical sizes for household use are 20 to 40 US gallons (75 to 150 L). These may run on electricity, natural gas, propane, fuel oil, or other energy sources. The most popular in the United States is the natural gas type.
Tank-type water heaters can be made more efficient by installation of additional insulation jackets around the tank, flow valve devices at their inlet and outlet, cycle timers, electronic ignition (in the case of fuel-using models), sealed air intake systems (in the case of fuel-using models), and pipe insulation. The sealed air-intake system types are sometimes called “band-joist” intake units. “High efficiency” units can convert up to 98% of the energy in the fuel to heating the water. The exhaust gases of combustion are cool and are mechanically ventilated without the need of a chimney.
In British English, water heaters are known as boilers, or “Geysers” (pronounced “geezers”), feeding a separate hot water tank. Such tanks are often fitted with a backup electrical heater for a quick boost, known as an immersion heater. It is mandatory that these hot water storage vessels are ‘indirect’. That means the water from the boiler circulates via a separate internal exchanger and does not come into contact with the stored hot water. (It is common for first time American users to burn themselves if not warned.)
Tankless Water heaters Atlanta
Tankless water heaters, also called instantaneous, inline or instant-on water heaters, are also available and gaining in popularity. These water heaters heat the water as the water flows through the device, and do not retain any water internally except for what is in the pipe. Tankless heaters may be installed in at faucet or bathroom that is far from the central water heater or larger models can be used to provide hot water for the entire house.
Tankless heaters can be far more efficient than storage water heaters. In both kinds of installation, the absence of a tank saves energy as conventional water heaters have to reheat the water in the tank as it cools off. With a central water heater of any type, water is wasted waiting for water to heat up because of the cold water in the pipes between the faucet and the water heater.
Point of use tankless water heaters are located right where the water is being used, so the water is almost instantly hot, which saves water. They also save even more energy than centrally installed tankless water heaters because there is not any hot water being left in the pipes after the water is shut off. However, point of use tankless water heaters are usually used in combination with a central water heater, as the expense of buying a heater for every kitchen, laundry room, bathroom or sink, often outweighs the money saved in water and energy bills. In addition, point of use water heaters are almost always electrical, and electricity is far more expensive than propane and natural gas.
The most cost effective configuration is usually to use a central tankless water heater for the most of the house, preferably natural gas, and install a point of use tankless water heater at any distant faucets or bathrooms. However, this may vary according to how much electricity, gas and water costs in the area, the layout of the house and how much hot water is used. Only electric tankless water heaters were available at first and they are still used for almost all point of use heaters, but natural gas and propane heaters are now common.
Since the water must be heated instantly, the tankless water heaters use a lot of electricity or fuel while they are on. If a storage water heater is being replaced with a tankless one, the size of the electrical wire or gas pipeline may have to be increased to handle the load.
In some locales, solar water heaters are used. These are installed outside dwellings, typically on the roof or nearby, and consist of a tank and of a panel in which water circulates. The tank and the panel are painted a dark color in order to maximize the reception of solar heat.
