Is the Tank Water Heater Obsolete?

Monday, January 11th, 2016

Some homeowners mistakenly believe that new technologies mean that those preceding them are automatically obsolete. This could not be further from the truth, though.

To learn more about available options, give the water heater professionals here at HB Energy Solutions a call.
