If you live in a rapidly changing climate (the midwest) like I do, you most likely will need a whole house humidifier (humidistat) installed onto your furnace.
They require PERFECT relative humidity 45-50%, and a constant temperature (can’t EVER shut off your HVAC) to not incur problems. Like many other buyers, I got “bamboozled” into believing that I was helping the planet, choosing a water resistant, pet friendly floor, without being told in their slick marketing literature the REAL limitations of their fossilized, engineered floors! The negative features that Cali purposely hides are the following: 1) Bamboo, Eucalyptus are in the exotic category of hardwoods. I purchased 1400 sq ft of Cali‘s natural wide click and lock Eucalyptus in 2017 and have experienced EPIC Failure! So has many others whom have joined the “Cali Bamboo Class Action Participants” group on Facebook. One will be in the attic and the other will mounted on the exterior end of the house.and I'm not looking forward to wrestling that beast of a tank heater down out of the attic, believe me.
One for the main bath, outside shower and laundry area and a smaller unit for the kitchen at the other end of the house. In my own house remodel, I'll be going with 2 tankless units, both gas fired. If space is a premium go with the best tankless system you can buy and size it slightly larger than you think you'll need. I have had the argument with more plumbing subs than I can remember.I don't care if it is in protected spaces or under slabs.insulate them.and guess what, I won every argument.being the GC has it's advantages. As far as hot water pipe insulation.every install should have pipes insulated regardless of the system.that's just common sense. Yes, the utility consultants were correct, tankless system (hot water on demand) do consume more energy at the demand event.what they didn't tell you was that in between demand events, they don't use any energy keeping water hot in the tank, unlike the standard hot water heater does during the day when you're not home.so I'm betting that the energy usage is just about even in the long run. Depending on the water quality, I've seen standard units that required a filter system in front of the supply point. There are pro's and con's to both systems.the cold hard facts are that both systems require maintenance (something which most home owners simply ignore).if you check your warranty fine print on your standard hot water heater (tank type) you'll find that regular draining and flushing of the system is recommended to achieve the advertised years of service.(how many of you actually drain and flush your systems.?).
