Need a New Water Heater?

Before you decide to spend several hundred dollars for a storage-tank heater or even thousands for a tankless or solar model, find out if your old water heater can be fixed. A corroded storage-tank model is beyond repair, but a leaky drain or pressure-relief valve or perhaps a burned-out heating element can often be fixed. Here is a simple rule of thumb: Consider a repair if the labor cost (which warranties often exclude) averages less than $50 per year over the years left in the warranty. Otherwise, buy a new one, especially if the warranty has run out.

Once you have done your homework and determined the proper course of action make sure that you contact JO-MI Plumbing in West Los Angeles.  They will help you with your decision to repair or replace your water heater.  Beyond that, if replacement is the correct option for you they will help you with the most efficient choice.

When Shopping For New Bathroom Fixtures Find Out What Is Best For You

If you are thinking about remodeling your bathroom, but don't have a lot of money to spend, think about the improvements that make an impact on a budget. New fixtures can improve the aesthetics of the bathroom as well as the functionality. The amount of wear and tear put on fixtures is pretty high. Think about it. Every time someone goes in the restroom you can expect a minimum of one fixture to be used, if not all. So, over the years the pressure and leverage applied to the fixtures eventually weaken their integrity. This is not only aesthetically disparaging, but it can cause plumbing difficulties as well.

When shopping for new fixtures, do a bit of research and find out what is best for you. Consider the size and shape of your sink and bathtub. Do you prefer a knob or a lever?

When you do decide on fixtures, give us a call. We will install them with excellence and care. Our professional plumbers will maximize the life of your new fixtures, improving your home's aesthetic and functional quality. Contact Los Angeles area JO-MI Plumbing today at 310-473-8111 for more information on replacing your home’s currant fixtures with modern and efficient ones.

Save Money And The Environment By Switching To A Tankless Water Heater

With Fall in full swing and the holidays around the corner, you'll likely be spending money on presents and holiday preparations. Below are 5 reasons to install a tankless water heater before the holidays.

• A standard water heater uses a lot more energy then a tankless water heater. While your initial investment may be more, you will be saving more money in the long run with a tankless water heater. Tankless water heaters can pay for themselves in the savings you'll incur in as little as four years. 

• If you're tired of losing precious space that could be better used storing holiday ornaments, a tankless water heater is the way to go. Tankless heaters take up no floor space because they are affixed to a wall. 

• Standard water heaters are constantly running to keep the water hot, compared to a tankless water heater which only runs when hot water is needed. By switching you're saving money and helping the environment. 

• A tankless water heater can outlive a standard water heater by 5 to 10 years. 

• Imagine piping hot showers for the whole family each morning without being blasted by ice cold water. You won't run out of hot water with a tankless water heater, unlike a standard water heater.
