It’s interesting to see how much the plumbing world is evolving! I know some plumbers who are all for tankless systems, but I wonder if the upfront cost is the real dealbreaker for many clients. What’s everyone’s take on long-term savings versus initial investments?
I find it fascinating how even plumbing has its trends! With tankless heaters, the energy savings can really add up, but if the installation costs are a hurdle, might it be worth looking into lease options? A wise plumber once told me, ‘Don’t chase trends; chase efficiency.’ What do you think?
I agree that tankless systems can save energy, but those upfront costs really hold some clients back… Have you seen much client interest in greywater systems?
When discussing tankless heaters, I always highlight the need to educate clients about the long-term savings on energy bills; it might just swing their decision. Have you noticed how some customers are really intrigued by energy efficiency? @anna_jon22.
