			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When the time comes to install a new water heater, it may at first seem like it’s going to be a simple job for the layperson, but when it comes right down to it, there’s a lot more to installing a water heater than meets the eye. Having been in business for more than 20 years, I can say without hesitation that calling in a professional is critically important to getting the job done right. And although some people believe they are pretty handy when it comes to installing appliances, installing a water heater can be extremely challenging.</p>
<p>What are some of the pitfalls about installing a water heater for someone with little experience? To begin with there is the potential of damaging delicate parts, cross threading gas connections, forgetting to elevate the water heater or failing to remember to use earthquake strapping where necessary. These critical elements are all addressed when a professional installs your water heater. In addition, not only are you given all the right options, but a professional will not sway you in a direction you don’t need to go. Instead, the professional will explain any improved features and higher operating efficiencies in the latest water heaters. Plain and simple, when you hire a professional to install a water heater, you’re assured of the proper handling of your new water heater, in addition to proper installation which covers safety features and compliance to state and federal laws.</p>
<p>A non-professional can overlook many steps when installing a water heater, which is why the following are the top 12 reasons why you should always hire a professional.</p>
<p><span id="more-95148"></span>
<p>1. The first and most important reason for hiring a professional is because he or she knows the different brands and which ones are best for each situation. A professional knows how well water heaters work and the importance of proper installation. There are many dangers involved in bad installations, which is why a professional should only be used to install a water heater.</p>
<p>2. Water heaters must comply with stringent standards regarding Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistance. Beginning in July of 2003, all conventional 30, 40, and 50-gallon residential gas-fired water heaters required specific compliance, which is something the layperson knows little about. When it comes to oil and gas-fired water heaters, the professional has the knowledge of the gas or oil fuel source as well as an understanding of gas connection supply lines and start ups.</p>
<p>3. When adding a new tub or shower or even adding an entire bathroom, your water heater should be able to meet those additional requirements. As a family grows, the demand for hot water increases, so when installing a water heater, a professional knows how to access the types of hot water heaters that are built for change. A professional uses his expertise for proper sizing, which includes calculating the demands of multiple bathrooms, dishwashers, clothes washers and other important points of use.</p>
<p>4. Safety should always come first. A professional installer knows all about safety, as their knowledge, skill and experience ensures that the right water heater is installed with safety. By having a professional plumber install your water heater, you have the peace of mind that your family is safe and secure.</p>
<p>5. The layperson may not be familiar with strange rattling noises, an odd sulfur smell, or even a reduction in available hot water. A professional installer will be there to make sure everything is in working order, plus when a professional installs a water heater, he is there to back up his work. If anything goes wrong, the professional will take on the responsibility by making sure the job is done correctly.</p>
<p>6.The professional installer knows that for a water heater to work properly, it is critical that it be vented according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Improperly venting a water heater may lead to a dangerous build-up of carbon monoxide inside the home.</p>
<p>7. A professional knows about improper installation or how an inadequate valve can cause damage to the water heater or even cause hazardous pressure build-up. When a professional installs a new water heater, you get the most for your money and the satisfaction of knowing the job was completed with expertise and experience you can trust.</p>
<p>8. A professional knows what types of materials and sizes to choose for venting, as well as water inlet and outlet pipes. After several years of good service, a water heater could leak or expel water due to pressure build-up. This could cause damage to floor coverings and other items. A professional will install a drain pan and pipe it properly to a drain to avoid future problems. An understanding of venting as well as draining should be left to a professional.</p>
<p>9. Because water heaters are factory set at a certain temperature, a professional will explain the settings and the dangers of improper use of the water heater’s thermostat. In addition, installation of electric water heaters requires knowledge of the properly rated wiring material as well as the home’s electrical capacity, which means adequate electrical services, is a requirement.</p>
<p>10. With new industry-wide design changes, today’s water heaters are more complicated than ever. Proper installation and service require that water heater manufacturers provide training and education. This type of valuable knowledge is only available to a professional installer.</p>
<p>11. The layperson might not be aware of whether his system is an open or closed water system. Closed systems are subject to thermal expansion and pressure build up. Open systems can become closed when check valves, water softeners or water meters are added. Even if your water heater tank doesn’t rupture from thermal expansion, pressure inside the tank can cause a constriction of the flue tube, causing a back up of combustion gases and carbon monoxide inside the home. Only a professional will know how to address an open or closed water system.</p>
<p>12. Oftentimes special water heaters aren’t sold to consumers. For example, one of the finest systems made is Bradford White’s Defender Safety System, but the public cannot purchase it. In fact, there are thousands of models with important variations and safety features that the layperson will never know about unless a professional is on hand.</p>
<p>In Closing<br />
If your water heater appears to be fine but it just won&#8217;t make hot water, a professional can diagnose what may be a simple problem. You may just need an inexpensive replacement part. But even if your water heater is functioning adequately, maybe you&#8217;re not getting as much hot water as you need, which means it may be time to upgrade. When it comes to making a decision about a water heater, it’s tough for a retailer or non-professional to advise you, but a professional can give you guidance and explain your options. And because professionals often attend trade association meetings, events sponsored by water heater manufacturers and also subscribe to trade magazines, he or she is the first to know when more efficient models or technology changes are available. In brief, a professional has the education and experience it takes to hone in on his craft. Installing a water heater is one of the things he or she does for a living, so when a professional plumber comes into your home, he knows exactly what to do. Furthermore, in many parts of the country, state agencies and local municipalities have laws and codes governing the installation of water heaters, often stating that a water heater must be installed by a licensed professional. Never take chances when installing a water heater. Do it right the first time by being sure a professional handles the job.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You don&#8217;t need an expensive professional landscaping company for every landscaping job, there are many jobs you can perfectly do yourself. Any homeowner with a few helpful tips can get started with garden hedging and get them looking just the way they want them. With the right tools, and some great tips on garden hedging you will be able to do just about any job. Read about it, buy good tools, pick a nice day and enjoy yourself. And remember garden hedging is not hard at all.</p>
<p>Privacy or just because they look nice?</p>
<p>It is first important to determine what the function of the hedges are or will be. For most homes the garden hedges serve as a form of privacy so that areas are hidden from the neighbors and those walking by on the street. However there are many other instances in which the hedges serve as more of a physical function because they look nice and add a special something to the home. They are one of the main aspects of any landscaping job and so they are very important.</p>
<p>There are a few popular types of hedges that are typically used and one is the formal hedges which require about two shearings a year. This can vary of course from one situation to the next but this is the average requirement. The evergreen hedges are one of the most popular types because they require very little maintenance and look beautiful. The garden hedging that a person will have to complete will absolutely depend on the type of garden hedges that they are working with. But most hedges do not need more shearing a year at all.</p>
<p><span id="more-95149"></span>
<p>What do you need for garden hedging</p>
<p>Going out and picking up the right tools for the job will also be important. Without the right tools, there is no way that this job is going to get done right and there are some very affordable options out there so don&#8217;t worry about breaking the bank. Trimming the shrubs is really a personal choice in terms of the way that they should end up looking. The basic guideline however should be to keep everything balanced and flowing well together and so you don&#8217;t want one huge shrub towering over another that is very small.</p>
<p>Try it, it&#8217;s not hard at all.</p>
<p>Garden hedging is a great activity for homeowners to take on. Just as with hair, it is better to cut too little and then gradually go along when you are garden hedging and trimming the hedges rather than cutting off way too much at once and having no way to go back.</p>
<p>Garden hedging is a great job for homeowners to take on. It is a fun activity, you see direct results and there is no need to pay for a landscaping company to come in and do the work. It is really not hard to learn, and not physically hard to do also. Just make sure you use the right tools and go for it!</p>
