What's the best choice in water heaters for conserving energy?
Other than your furnace, water heating is often the single largest cause of your home’s gas or electric bill. Improvements here often pay for themselves quickly and reap huge rewards for your small investment.
When it comes to choosing from the various options for water heating, each person’s situation is unique. We are able to install a wide range of top-brand electric water heaters, Rinnai tankless gas water heaters, and instant hot water heaters. What works best for you is determined by reviewing your household and its water use.
How many people live in your house?
Do they all need to shower at about the same time?
Do you have more than one bath?
Do you have several appliances that use hot water simultaneously?
How long are the lines from the water heater to an outlet?
Do you frequently need short, quick supplies of hot water at a sink?
Is your home all-electric?
There are other questions, too, to consider. Each can have a significant effect on your water heater's cost, efficiency, and usefulness. Since every situation is different, it’s impossible to say which option is best without a review of your personal situation. The good news is that there ARE many great options, today, for significantly reducing water-heating costs. We’re available to discuss the options with you – just give us a call (316) 799-3212.
Are there any good new toilets available that flush really well?
Most of the brands have improved greatly from the early days of the low-flow toilets (using only 1.6 gallons per flush). Most major brands that we carry have solved this early problem, with new designs. At the top of the list is Toto, the world’s largest manufacturer of plumbing fixtures. Toto’s global reputation is excellent, and their designs lead the industry. We stock some of their most popular products, and can order many other Toto products (and other leading brands, too) at your request.
We're limited to using one plumbing fixture at a time because the pressure is too low. How do we fix this?
This problem is typically an issue with the water service, or with the pipes in the house. It’s too often assumed that the water pressure is inadequate. Actually, the pressure may be OK, with simply a limit on the volume of water able to pass through the system. Many homes built before 1975 have galvanized water service lines, and many homes built before 1965 have galvanized piping throughout the house. Galvanized pipe rusts over time. Eventually the pipe fills with rust, choking the flow of water. Many homes see a major benefit by replacing the water service line, thus allowing them to run multiple fixtures — simultaneously — without the water volume dropping. If you would like to have this done – give us a call. We’ll be happy check your home and give you a quote.
I’ve heard bad things about polybutylene (“P.B.”) pipe. How can I tell whether I have it in my home?
Polybutylene pipe (also known as “P.B.” or “Poly”) is common in homes built between the early 1980’s and the mid/late 1990’s. Primarily, it was used just for water service lines (the water supply lines entering houses from public water mains). In some cases, though, it was also used for the piping inside homes. A few years ago, there was a federal class-action lawsuit against plastic fittings used in P.B. piping systems. Because of the lawsuit, P.B. piping is no longer installed in residential or commercial properties. Flexible Pex plastic piping (white, red or blue) has generally replaced P.B. piping, and has been determined to be safe and reliable. If you have P.B. piping– whether throughout your home, or only in your water service line –and the fittings are gray plastic, you have reason to be concerned. If the fittings are copper or brass, you may be safe. To determine if you have P.B. pipe inside your house, the easiest place to look is on the top of your water heater, where the water pipes connect. If you see plastic pipe that looks gray or light blue, then it’s probably P.B. — and it was probably used throughout your house. If you’re not sure about the P.B. piping situation in your home, and want a professional opinion, give us a call!

"Their service was excellent!"
I would recommend Bowers Plumbing. They scheduled us for repair right away. The technician wears booties over shoes, so there was no tracking on the floor. They repaired my toilet and left the area cleaned up. Plus we have a one-year warranty!
- Pamela S.
"Will get plumbing needs done by them!"
We had a Bosch dishwasher that we bought from Costco and they said they would install and they didn’t. We contacted Bower’s Plumbing and showed up on time and prepared. David the plumber was super nice and knowledgeable.
- Tony C.
"Great service!"
Tylor replaced a sewage lift in my basement. He was quick, courteous, and organized with his work. I’m very satisfied with Bowers and recommend them to anyone needing plumbing repair work.
- Chris K.
"Very impressed!"
They assessed the problem and gave me an estimate with two choices. They began fixing it, had a bit of a change, and let me know of that change right away. I was so impressed with their manners, professionalism, and ability to fix the problem right away.
- Valeria W.
"Couldn’t express my gratefulness enough!"
My outside cooling system went out and I called and was scheduled for the next day after calling other companies. Even on my scheduled appointment day, I was pushed up and Robert was sent to me and he is a GOD SEND!!
- Kierra W.
"We would choose them again and again!"
Andrew and Wyatt were wonderful!! Very polite and took the time to work with us and explain what to expect. This was an extremely dirty job and they worked very hard to make sure the dirt and dust did not enter the rest of the house.
- Diana S.
"Well done!"
Bowers and their repair technician provided excellent service communication, and punctuality, were knowledgeable, and were responsibly efficient. I do not hesitate to recommend Bowers Plumbing for peace of mind of a competitively-priced job.
- Debbie D.
"Robert was an awesome technician."
He took the time to discuss everything with my elderly father to ensure he understood it. Did a great job of keeping his work areas clean and dry while it was raining and even hauled off the old AC filter... much appreciated! I would recommend them!
