How the Navien Heating System Works in My Home




I wanted to take a minute to share some details about my on-demand Navien heating system. The Navien is both my water heater and my boiler. What I love about the system is the space savings. I got rid of my big boiler and I got rid of my water heater. It really opened up my basement and created some additional closet space. The Navien is neatly mounted on the wall and looks really futuristic.

On the other hand, my wife isn't crazy about the Navien, because it takes the water a little bit longer to heat up, as opposed to a traditional water heater that uses the pilot light to constantly heat water. Since installing the Navien, we have seen cost savings; however, it requires being flushed out and cleaned every 1 to 2 years depending on how hard your water is.

 So the cost savings is a wash, but I still recommend the Navien for the space savings, the fact that it runs efficiently, and for the fact that it is still relatively easy to maintain. Then again, I tried flushing out the system myself after watching a YouTube video, and apparently I did not do a very thorough job. According to my plumber, I almost flooded my basement!

 If you're looking to get a similar system, don't do it yourself. Likewise, if you're looking to sell a home, don't do it yourself. Get a professional!

 If you have any real estate questions for me, please let me know. I'd love to work with you.

How Do Hybrid Cars Work?

How do hybrid cars work? I drive a Toyota Camry Hybrid. I’m frequently asked if it uses gas or electricity. It uses both, but it’s not electric in the same way as the plug-in hybrid models. Instead, it has a little battery (the size of a regular car battery) in the trunk. Every time I’m in cruise mode, down-shift, or break, my car recharges itself.


It makes sense to have a hybrid because if you spend fossil fuels to generate motion, why not capture that energy and store it to push the car further along? There is a gas and electric motor. The electric motor powers the car exclusively in EV mode when the car travels extremely slowly. It acts as an auxiliary to the gas motor when I’m driving quickly.

At the end of the day, I average 38 miles per gallon. I only have to fill my car up three times a month, instead of four. It also means less stress and more money saved.

As for the rumors that hybrid cars aren’t great, my car drives powerfully and beautifully. I encourage you to check out the 2016 Toyota Prius!

If you have questions about this topic or more, reach out to me by phone or email. I’d be happy to help you out!
