Moving into a new home in Nocatee or Jacksonville, Florida is exciting, and can be a little hectic, too. The rest of your life does not pause for you to move, so you’re likely juggling the move, work, and other responsibilities all at once.
Additionally, with every new home typically comes an adjustment period. As you and your family familiarize yourselves with your new town and neighborhood, you are also becoming familiar with new appliances that might operate differently than the ones in your old home. This means sitting down and looking through operating manuals, reviewing warranty details, and maintenance requirements, but who has time for that?
One of the exciting things about homes in this area is that they are outfitted with Rheem tankless water heaters. And this is one appliance that you will instantly appreciate. If you‘ve never had the pleasure of having a tankless water heater in your home before, there are a few things you should know that homeowners often overlook.
Rheem Tankless Systems Save Money and Water
Rheem tankless water heaters are more energy efficient than traditional water heaters. Because there is no tank to constantly keep warm, you save money on utilities with this high-efficiency heater. Rheem tankless water heaters also feature fewer parts, which makes it more reliable and less prone to leaks than a water heater with a tank. A tankless system will last you almost twice as long as a traditional water heater.
If your new home doesn’t include this system, you may want to consider performing a Rheem tankless water heater installation. This system provides an endless supply of hot water, meaning you never have to worry about running out of hot water mid-shower ever again. Depending on the model of water heater, you may have to wait a few seconds for hot water to stream from your faucets, but if you have a model equipped with a recirculating pump, you will have instant hot water.
Register Your Water Heater
If your home is newly built or has upgraded to a new Rheem tankless water heater, do not forget to register it. For pre-existing homes, ask the seller if they have previously registered the water heater and request information on the registration. Registering Rheem tankless water heaters right away will help prevent any hassles with your warranty in case there is a problem with your water heater. If you are not sure if your water heater has been registered or is under warranty, you can check by contacting a specialist at Rheem. You will need to have your water heater’s serial number available when you call. This 10-digit number can be found on the right side of your water heater.
Rheem Tankless Water Heater Installation & Maintenance
It is a good idea to review the manual that came with your Rheem tankless water heater. This manual will explain the heater’s features, maintenance procedures and troubleshooting tips. Your water heater requires regular maintenance, including:
- Checking and cleaning of the air intake filter
- Visually inspecting the system for any signs of damage or leaks
- Flushing of the heat exchanger
