Professional carpoolers and dog walkers have the last two chores covered, but for many homeowners the notion of home maintenance is dismaying. They grew up watching their parents spend weekends with honey-do lists, and they are not going to follow in their footsteps.

Read the entire aricle here.

Union Row is developed by 16th & Union, LLC, which is managed by Belgravia Group, Ltd., one of Chicago’s most experienced and respected homebuilders. @properties is the #1real estate brokerage firm in Chicago as well as the city’s #1 seller of new-construction and condominium-conversion developments. The marketing alliance was announced by Belgravia president and CEO Alan D. Lev and @properties’ co-founders Michael Golden and Thaddeus Wong. The two companies recently joined forces on another Belgravia-managed development, 565 W. Quincy in the West Loop, where buyers have snapped up almost 70 condominiums in the past eight weeks.

“Major price reductions, the Federal Homebuyer Tax Credit, sub-5-percent interest rates and the availability of FHA financing have created incredible buzz and momentum,” said Lev. “We saw it at 565 W. Quincy, and we’re seeing it at Union Row. The sense of urgency is real because the value is real. Since we dropped the prices, 12 homes have gone under contract.”

“The fact that you can buy a new townhome for between $400,000 and $500,000, just five minutes from the Loop and built by one of Chicago’s premier homebuilders is unbelievable,” said Wong.

“We expect Union Row to sell out prior to the April 30 tax credit deadline as opportunistic buyers take advantage of below-market prices,” added Golden.

The demands of our house didn’t match up with the ability of the tankless systems to provide water to the whole house from a central location.  In a four-story townhouse with baths and appliances on each level, the recommended installation calls for medium capacity tankless heaters installed in a few different locations.  And each unit, installed, could cost up to $2,000.  We’d need 2.  Maybe 3.  Ouch!

On Monday, we had our new, “old fashioned” water heater installed in the same place as the old one.

Our unit retailed for $458, and we paid $300 for installation.  Of course, comparing the price of this installation to multiple tankless water heaters makes choosing a no-brainer.

We chose the same size – 50 gallon – and went with the “standard” brand from Menards – Richmond Water Heaters.  Richmond offers a “good/better/best” range of models in various sizes.  We settled on the “better” – or mid-quality – version.  No reason other than it seemed to make sense to move up from the lowest version. 

 Choosing the best water heater for your needs brochure

Our installer suggested moving up to the “best” and we took his advice.  Upon opening the carton the water heater came packaged in, we were immediately surprised how large this water heater is.  It’s ENORMOUS.  Which we found strange since it’s the same capacity as the old one.

But after further inspection we were pleasantly surprised to find out that the large size is due to extra insulation and a few other energy saving features.  Our model should operate at about a 25% savings over the old model.  And it’s is efficient enough to get an “Energy Star” rating.  Nice!  We can apply for a couple of tax breaks and rebates with this model.  Definitely worth the $40 bump over the price of the next lower model.

Your guide has seen new houses with multiple water heaters in separate locations.  Normally these installations are in upscale homes with 4 or even more bathrooms, plus ultra-luxury bath features such as body sprays, rain showers, and multiple-person Jacuzzi tubs.  It might make sense to switch out a tank-style water heater for a new tankless water heater.  But in traditional installations throughout Chicago where one water heater provides hot water to a whole house from a utility room, replacement with the same type of technology seems to make the most sense.  It’s nice to know that “green” or energy conscious choices are available.
