Kenilworth Sump Pumps Repair & Installation:

   Zoeller - Zoeller Sump Pumps are the #1 Sump Pump The Fair Plumber installs. Why do you ask? The Zoeller Sump Pump is the most reliable Sump Pump that money can buy. They have a 3-year manufacturer's warranty, however, many Zoeller Sump Pumps are 10 years old and still running strong. For residential plumbing, the two most popular Sump Pumps are the Zoeller M53 which is the Zoeller 1/3 horsepower Sump Pump, and the Zoeller M98 which is the Zoeller 1/2 horsepower Sump Pump. Sump Pumps have to be sized correctly. Bigger isn't necessarily always better. If you install a Zoeller 1/2 horsepower in a small house with a small sump pump pit, the pump is so powerful it will short cycle, causing the float switch to fail over time. Conversely, if you install a Zoeller M53 which is a 1/3 horsepower sump pump in a very large home or large sump pump pit the sump pump may not be able to pump out all of the water fast enough during heavy rain. Call The Fair Plumber for the correct sizing.

Kenilworth Water Heater Repair & Installation:

   There are several things to consider before choosing a water heater.  First, do you have Well Water or City Water? Well Water is Hard Water and will require a specific anode rod.  City Water is also known as Soft Water and requires a specific anode rod. Aluminum Anode Rod or a Magnesium Anode Rod. So, what is an Anode Rod? An Anode Rod is a sacrificial metal used in water heaters to prevent corrosion from minerals. 

What is an Anode Rod?

   The Anode Rod is designed to attract the corrosive elements and sediments in the water. These minerals attack the anode rod instead of the water tank. You may ask, why does my water smell like rotten eggs? Why do I have sulfur smell in water? Chances are it's time to change your Anode Rod. Aluminum vs Magnesium Anode Rod, which one should you get? If you have Well Water, get an Aluminum Anode Rod. If you have City Water, get a Magnesium Anode Rod.

   The second thing to consider when installing a water heater is how your water heater vent is currently set up. There are two ways to vent a water heater. One way is via a Chimney Vent the other is by using a Power Vent.

    Chimney Vent - The method of venting a water heater through the chimney is very popular and has been used for decades. Usually, there is a brick chimney and a galvanized water heater vent attached to it. Sometimes b Vent is used. b Vent pipe is a double-walled pipe that is installed inside the chimney when the chimney is in need of repair. 

   Power Vent - Power Vent Water Heaters are higher efficiency water heaters, which consist of PVC Vent Piping that can be installed on the side of the house. Which makes it easy to move the water heater to a more suitable location. We like to install water heaters which are reliable. Because if you the customer has a problem with the water heater, then we have a problem with the water heater. We, The Fair Plumber stand behind our work. Therefore, we only install the best water heaters. So which water heaters do we like to install? Bradford White Water Heaters.

   Bradford White - Bradford White Water Heaters are the #1 water heater that The Fair Plumber installs. They are reliable and are made in the USA. The Bradford White Water Heater comes in several different sizes as well as both gas & electric models.

   Bradford White 40 Gallon Water Heater - The Bradford White 40 Gallon Gas Water Heater is ideal for small homes which have limited space and only 2 occupants. The Bradford White 40 Gallon Electric Water Heater is also available.
