Water Heater Installation & Replacement in Bronxville: what to know
Many Bronxville homes still get hot water from a tankless coil in the boiler. Moving to an indirect tank is often the single biggest hot water and efficiency improvement for these houses.
The local housing stock
Bronxville's one square mile is full of 1890s-1930s Tudor, Arts & Crafts and stucco homes, many on hillside lots in Lawrence Park, plus prewar co-op apartment buildings near the train station. Original steam systems and cast iron radiators are the norm here.
Co-op, condo and apartment buildings
In apartment buildings around Bronxville, domestic hot water often comes from a central boiler or commercial water heaters. We troubleshoot hot water complaints, mixing valves and recirculation pumps, and replace in-unit heaters where buildings have them.
Steep, hillside lots
Hillside homes in Bronxville sometimes have high static water pressure on lower streets, which shortens water heater life and stresses fixtures. A pressure-reducing valve and a thermal expansion tank protect the system.
