Video Highlights

  • “Ask This Old House” plumbing and heating expert Richard Trethewey helps a homeowner select and install a heat pump water heater. Note that in this video, the water heater is installed in the garage, which is not typically possible in Massachusetts due to cold winter temperatures. In Massachusetts the installation would be inside the house.
