Tankless water heaters save energy because there is no large tank storing water, heating it constantly and using energy to keep it hot. When you turn on the hot water faucet, cold water flows into the tankless water heater. An element inside the unit heats the water and delivers it to the faucet. Tankless water heaters do not run out of hot water the way tank systems do, assuming they are sized right for capacity. But it is necessary to flush and clean the filter screen of tankless water heaters yearly as part of a regular maintenance schedule to avoid rust, sediment (sand, gravel), mineral buildup (scale, lime), and to extend the life of the appliance.

If your home has a wet basement, you're not alone. The American Society of Home Inspectors estimates that more than 60 percent of homes have issues with water in the basement. A sump pump can be an effective option for preventing water damage. Installed in a pit in the basement, these units sense when the water from rain or snowmelt is rising in the pit and approaching the floor level. The incoming water is then pumped outside before it can damage the home or its furnishings. Sump pumps are relatively low-maintenance devices, but you can help keep your unit operational by inspecting it regularly.
