Home Depot sells them as GE Smart Water units, but they are manufactured and serviced by Rheem Manufacturing.

Will the 30% off doors, window, water heaters and insulation help stimulate the economy?

I have been having hot water issues for years and I finally got rid of my old tank. The plumber that is replacing my tank realized that the previous set-up was wrong and the hot & cold pipes were hooked up incorrectly. I am just wondering if anyone would know how this would impact my [...]
