Sacramento Hot Water Recirculation Pumps

Experience the freedom instant of hot water.

Do you have to wait for what seems like forever to get hot water in your kitchen or bathroom? Installing a hot water recirculation pump will give you instantaneous hot water when you turn your faucet, tub, or shower valve on. Many people use recirculation pumps along with their tankless water heaters to have on-demand, endless hot water.

Recirculation Pumps and Water Conservation

The average home can waste as much as 12,000 gallons of water a year waiting for the hot water to get to their fixture—not to mention the extra utility costs to heat that water.  Hot water recirculation pumps save water, save money, and boost your home’s water conservation efforts. This can also help you improve your home’s retail value and market appeal. Call the experts at Bonney to learn more about how much you can save by installing a hot water recirculation pump today!

How Much Does It Cost to Install a Water Recirculation Pump in Sacramento?

What are some factors that affect the cost of a water recirculation pump installation?

• Pump Type: The cost of your water recirculation pump installation varies based on the type of pump you choose. Basic models are less expensive than advanced systems with timers and sensors. Bonney will help you select the right pump for your home’s water needs and budget.
• Plumbing Modifications: If your existing plumbing requires significant modifications to accommodate the pump, installation costs will increase. Simple installations are quicker and cheaper. Bonney’s skilled plumbers will assess your system and provide an accurate estimate, free of charge.
• System Size: The size of the recirculation system affects the overall cost. Larger homes may require more extensive systems to ensure efficient water circulation. Bonney will recommend the appropriate system size to maximize efficiency and minimize costs.

A Closer Look at Hot Water Recirculation Pumps

There are two types of hot water recirculation pump systems available for your home, a complete hot water recirculation system and a retrofit system. The complete hot water recirculation system has a dedicated hot water line that runs from your water heater to each fixture then back to a pump at the water heater creating a loop. This is a true hot water recirculation system and the most energy-efficient.

The retrofit system has a pump connected to the hot water outlet side of the water heater and a crossover valve installed at the furthest fixture, sometimes two depending upon the layout of your home. This allows hot water to be pumped into the cold water system which is called stacking. Though not as efficient as the first system, it is a less expensive installation and gives you similar results.
