WATER HEATER RECIRCULATION PUMP INSTALLATION IN REDLANDS, THE INLAND EMPIRE, & BEYOND

How it works

When you turn your shower on first thing in the morning, the most common result is a blast of freezing cold water. That's because that cold water has been sitting inside those plumbing pipes for hours and hours. You bet it's going to be chilly!

A hot water recirculating pump changes the game by forcing the water inside your pipes to keep moving in a loop. It accomplishes this with the help of a pump that's typically installed near the water heater. The end result is water that hasn't been stagnating in your pipes for hours. In fact, it's warm and ready to go! 

What Are the Benefits of a Hot Water Recirculation Pump?

Having instant hot water on demand is the primary benefit of installing a hot water recirculation pump. But it isn't the only reason that homeowners install them. In fact, there are so many benefits to these systems that we could write an entirely separate blog on the topic.

Let's take a look at some of the most important benefits of a hot water recirculation pump:

• Less water waste: This is a big one. It's been estimated that upwards of 12k gallons of water is wasted every year waiting for hot water to heat up. Residents of California, in particular, understand how precious this resource is. Now more than ever, it's important to consider where our water is going and what we can do to conserve it. 
  
  
• Lower water bills: Because hot water recirculation pumps are on a timer, they use less water. And using less water can shave quite a bit off your water bills each month. 
  
  
• Lower energy bills: The pump will not use electricity when you're not planning to use hot water, which makes them incredibly energy-efficient. In fact, most homes see a net energy bill decrease with a hot water recirculation pump installed.
  
  
• No maintenance required. Unlike most home appliances, recirculation pumps don't require any maintenance. It's a win-win!

Cost

What's the cost of a water heater recirculation pump in Redlands?

We're glad you asked. It's actually less than you might think! A hot water recirculation pump or system can cost between $700 and $1,800. At Burgeson's, our customers tend to pay around $750 on average.

Some of the main cost factors that go into pricing a water heater recirculation pump or system include:

• Water heater location: Hot water recirculation pumps are typically installed near the water heater. However, you could see a higher installation cost if your existing water heater is installed (A) in an area that does not allow the space needed to install the recirculation pump or (B) outside, where it could get wet. Additional plumbing/wiring could be needed, or an under-the-sink pump could be required.
  
  
• Existing electrical system: A recirculating pump needs a direct connection to the home's electrical system. If changes need to be made to the home's electrical system, it can add to the project's overall cost. The good news is, if you choose Burgeson's, you won't have to worry about hiring another contractor to get this job done. We offer both plumbing and electrical work.
  
  
• The number of pumps required: Larger homes often need a second water heater to provide enough hot water for the entire house. The number of recirculation pumps you will need will be determined by the number of water heaters your home has, as each water heater needs its own dedicated recirculation pump. Additional pumps will add to the cost of the installation (due to extra time, labor, and parts such as shut-off valves).
