Save Water, Install a Comfort System!

With mandatory water conservation in effect and drought conditions not improving any time soon, people are searching for more ways to save every last drop. And one of the biggest water wastes can be, not appliance or long showers, but all of those minutes spent waiting for water to get hot for showers and at the kitchen sink.

At Bill Howe, we often receive calls inquiring about comfort systems. Gaining in popularity, especially in light of new water-conservation efforts, our plumbers in San Diego highly recommend this solution for many homeowners who find themselves letting cold water run down the drain waiting for a hot shower or for the kitchen tap to reach the perfect temperature.

One great solution we recommend is the installation of a Comfort System. But, what is a comfort system?

Traditionally, cold water sits in pipes and when you turn your shower on, or kitchen faucet hot tap, the cold water runs while the water heater heats the water. Depending on the location of the taps from the water heater, this can take up to several minutes and wastes quite a bit of water.

The comfort system re-circulates that cold water back to the water heater while heating water and delivering it fast to the locations needed.

A recirculation/comfort system operates by heating up the water, but instead of sending cold water fist, it routes the cold water back to the heater and sends you hot water faster eliminating thousands of gallons of water waste each year.

Comfort systems can be installed at the water heater, and then a connection is also made at each location where hot water is needed fast (usually near the kitchen or shower). They work in conjunction with your current water heater, traditional or tankless, and even have remote systems to turn them on when you need it.

Only activated when you need it, the comfort system can be installed to use with a timer system or a button that allows you to manually turn it on when you will be calling for hot water, and by remote so you can turn it on, from anywhere in the house!

Comfort systems deliver instant hot water, eliminate waste and will save you in both water and energy bills. They have a life expectancy of 15-20 years so you know that they will continue to deliver comfort and savings for many years.

Bill Howe’s expert San Diego plumbers are in high demand when it comes to installing comfort systems so don’t wait, call 1-800 Bill Howe (245-5469) for your free estimate today!

What David says about us

Service for new garbage disposal. My ancient garbage disposal quit working, went online to get Bill Howe’s number, immediately received and accepted chat to describe my needs. Prompt call back to schedule an appointment, service tech Allen was out same morning, which was important to fit my work schedule. Job estimate was clear, work done fully to my expectations, area left clean, and price was very fair.
I was not surprised — I have used Bill Howe plumbers for several other tasks in the past. I have always found their staff to be helpful, attentive, and the plumbers very courteous and capable.

What Mira says about us

Bill Howe never fails us! We had a drain overflow, and Scott came (on a Saturday) to look at it and offer solution. He was punctual, professional, and extremely helpful. I should also praise the main office for always being helpful and always finding solutions. Very grateful to have you in San Diego!

What Ed Gohlich says about us

Cory was our technician on this job. We had a time sensitive repair issue and Bill Howe understood and assisted with getting the job done quickly.
Cory was on time to start the job and finished it quickly. Upon his leaving our home he’s was courteous, very knowledgeable, explaining what the problem was and how he fixed it. Very good communication and this is the way it’s has always been when we use Bill Howe plumbing.
Great company to work with.
Thanks Cory.

What Bridgett says about us

I am extremely happy with the service we received from Bill Howe Plumbing. We were given an incorrect diagnosis of our main sewer line from another vendor, but Bill Howe’s servicemen came out for a second opinion, correctly diagnosed our problem and resolved our back up issues. We will continue to use Bill Howe for all our future plumbing needs!

Thank you Bill Howe Plumbing.
