Alber Service Company Before & After Photos

After 20-years it was time to replace this electric water heater. But the homeowner wanted to fix a nagging problem as well: long waits in the kitchen for hot water to reach the sink. The house was built on a concrete slab floor and the water pipes were buried in the concrete. This meant that every time the hot water was turned off, the hot water pipe lost it's heat to the concrete. Getting hot water to the kitchen sink meant draining all the cold water out of the pipe in the slab before the kitchen tap would run hot. Very frustrating!

So when we installed a high efficiency Bradford-White water heater we also installed a Taco Hot-Link recirculation system. This system includes a pump at the water heater and a special valve installed under the kitchen sink. The pump circulates hot water thru the Hot-Link valve under the sink where it returns to the water heater tank via the cold water line. When the valve sensing hot water has arrived, it closes so the hot water does not fill the cold water line. It's a simple solution. The homeowner now gets hot water instantly at the kitchen tap. Frustration is defeated!

This Columbus, NJ homeowner need more space. They did not want to move nor did they want to spend the money to do an addition.  Fortunately, they had a beautiful sunroom on the back of the home begging to be used more often. But it was too hot in the summer and so cold in the winter. They called us to see what heating and cooling options we had so they could stay in their beautiful home. We installed a Fujitsu Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump. This space now can be used in the chilly, early days of spring, to the hottest days of the summer through to the last harsh days of winter. Whether you just want a peaceful place to read the paper and drink your coffee, or you need a second family room for TV viewing and entertaining, turning this sunroom into an all year round space was an economical and relatively quick alternative to a complete room addition or moving.
