Don’t Touch that Red Tag!

What is a “red tag repair”?  In the world of construction and maintenance it means that the equipment in question is unsafe.  It is also known as a product warning tag. It may be placed on a gas appliance by a licensed technician to indicate that it is no longer safe to operate and either needs to be repaired or replaced.

A red tag means do not touch unless you are trained in these type of repairs.  Warning tags are issued on any appliance or perhaps a piping system that uses natural gas.  This should get your attention…if carbon monoxide is leaking from a cracked heat exchanger, there is a chance of it mixing with the air.

Red tags are no joking matter.  This is NOT a sale at K-Mart!  It is important to have a trained technician repair the problem so that the tag may be removed.  Eric Montoya of E M Plumbing is Albuquerque’s red tag specialist.  Make sure that you call him in just such an emergency.  His phone number is (505) 980-9334.

"If you find yourself traveling to, stuck in, or living in Albuquerque, New Mexico for Thanksgiving, there are fortunately a number of great activities and dining options available during the holiday." 

To Tank or Not to Tank…that is the Question.

That is not exactly how the line from William Shakespeare goes, of course.  In this case it refers to the decision you must make when your water heater fails.  A tankless water heater virtually eliminates energy wasted when hot water cools down in long pipe runs or while it's sitting in the storage tank.

So, why doesn’t every home owner choose tankless over the traditional tank water heater?  Well, the answer (as it usually is) is MONEY!  Yes, the tankless water heater takes up less space, and regulates water temperature better, but it simply costs more to upgrade to tankless.  Is that worth the initial extra expenditure?

I know this…if you want to consult someone who is an expert in our area the answer is the owner of E M Plumbing.  His name is Eric Montoya.  Eric is Albuquerque’s water heater installation and repair professional.  You cannot go wrong whatever decision that you make when you call E M Plumbing for your water heater installation at (505) 980-9334.
