Tankless Units in Bothell Homes
Garage-mounted units are the norm in Bothell. Damp air and spiders in the intake are small things that cause real shutdowns.
What we run into in Bothell
- Garage installs. Here the unit typically lives in the garage, so the inlet filter and the service valves are easy to get at when it needs attention.
