McKenna Plumbing

I had McKenna at my house to add a heat zone some years ago. That went well.

While he was there, he suggested that I get an electric water heater. He explained that my on-demand oil system could then be turned off in the summer, saving money. I stupidly trusted that advice rather than research it.

First, it makes no sense for a weekend house to heat water all the time when we are almost never there. Second, electric at the time was the only source of energy that was more expensive than oil. And that was when oil cost a lot more. So there is no way for a more expensive energy source that is always on to save money over a cheaper source that is on-demand.

To matters worse, he plumbed it after the on-demand oil heater. So I can't even turn off the electric and go back to the oil since it would have to fill the entire electric tank! He should have put it before the oil heater, or run a bypass pipe with valves.

I blame myself for agreeing to it, but he should know better. But he got his up-sell I guess. I feel burned. I am still upset every time I have to go to the circuit breaker to turn it on and off when we arrive and leave.

Needed a water line from the street to the house replaced. Kevin came to my call, next day had the excavating company in followed by dig safe and repaired soon after. Never pushed me for payment. Good job by all
