These units are the most common in the area due to their simplicity and lack of venting requirements. Our licensed plumbers focus on high-Efficiency (EF) rated models that minimize the electrical draw required to maintain your water temperature in our year-round warm climate. We also connect the system to a circuit breaker and safely configure the electrical wiring, allowing installation in closets, utility spaces, or interior areas.
We provide hybrid water heater installations, which represent the pinnacle of energy efficiency for the warm South Florida climate.
