Endless Hot Water

Ameri Built Homes, Myrtle Beach’s Premier Custom Green Home Builder has partnered with Rinnai to provide tankless water heaters in its communities and custom homes.  Tankless water heaters only heat the water you need, when you need it. Turning any water source into hot water on demand. You are not limited to the amount a storage tank heater can hold. Whether you are washing the dishes, washing your clothes, or drawing a hot bath, Rinnai’s tankless water heater technology will supply endless hot water to your lifestyle demands-even if it demands you do them all at once.

Reduced Energy Costs

With Rinnai tankless water heaters, you will enjoy up to 40% energy savings. That’s because our units are designed to be highly efficient and only heat water when it is needed. When the demand for hot water ceases, the unit shuts down and uses almost no energy, a revolutionary advantage over inefficient tank-style heaters.

Longevity

Rinnai tankless water heaters have a typical life of up to 20 years, when installed in residential applications. This can be twice as long as a tank style unit.

Clean, Fresh Water

Traditional tank-style water heaters can build up rust and scale inside their tank, where the hot water you use for bathing and drinking is stored. With Rinnai tankless water heaters you will always experience fresh, clean water that is heated on demand, as it passes through the unit.

Space Savings

Traditional tank water heaters can take up to 16 square feet of valuable floor space. However, Rinnai tankless water heaters are about the size of a carry-on suitcase and can be installed on virtually any wall inside or outside of your home.  Ameri Built Homes chooses to install most of the units on the exterior of the home to save valuable garage space.

Greater Capacity

Meeting increased hot water demands can be a challenge for traditional tank-style heaters, however, with Rinnai’s innovative technology you’ll never run out of hot water.

Peace of Mind

With Rinnai tankless water heaters, there’s no tank to leak or break.

Gas tankless water heaters are the way to go if you are building a new home in the Myrtle Beach area.  Contact Ameri Built Homes for more information.

Most homeowners who have heat pumps use them to heat and cool their homes. But a heat pump also can be used to heat water—either as stand-alone water heating system, or as combination water heating and space conditioning system. 

How They Work

Heat pump water heaters use electricity to move heat from one place to another instead of generating heat directly. Therefore, they can be two to three times more energy efficient than conventional electric resistance water heaters. To move the heat, heat pumps work like a refrigerator in reverse.

While a refrigerator pulls heat from inside a box and dumps it into the surrounding room, a stand-alone air-source heat pump water heater pulls heat from the surrounding air and dumps it—at a higher temperature—into a tank to heat water. You can purchase a stand-alone heat pump water heating system as an integrated unit with a built-in water storage tank and back-up resistance heating elements. You can also retrofit a heat pump to work with an existing conventional storage water heater.

Heat pump water heaters require installation in locations that remain in the 40º–90ºF (4.4º–32.2ºC) range year-round and provide at least 1,000 cubic feet (28.3 cubic meters) of air space around the water heater. Cool exhaust air can be exhausted to the room  or outdoors. Install them in a space with excess heat, such as a garage. Heat pump water heaters will not operate efficiently in a cold space. They tend to cool the spaces they are in. You can also install an air-source heat pump system that combines heating, cooling, and water heating. These combination systems pull their heat indoors from the outdoor air in the winter and from the indoor air in the summer. Because they remove heat from the air, any type of air-source heat pump system works more efficiently in a warm climate such as Myrtle Beach.

Good Real Estate News: Home Equity Is Rising Again

With all the bad news about underwater home owners and strategic walkaways, you might think that American home owners’ equity holdings are in the tank. But the least-publicized recent statistic on real estate is that, despite these scary reports, home equity is again on the rise. According to the Federal Reserve’s most recent “flow of funds” survey, home owners’ net equity grew by nearly $1 trillion from the recession’s nadir in the first quarter of 2009 through the third quarter. From June 30 to Sept. 30, net equity rose by $418 billion. That’s not all that impressive compared with the quarterly increases during the hyperinflationary housing boom years, but it could signal something important. After three years of unprecedented shrinkage in home equity — and three years of rapid expansions in the number of underwater borrowers with negative equity — there are signs that the down cycle may be shifting.

The end of round one of the first-time homebuyer tax credit ended November 30 and there was some fear that housing sales would flatten back to the levels of the summer of 2009. Instead in December not only did housing sales maintain their momentum, recording a solid increase of 17.1% over December 2008, but for the first time in three years the average price of homes sold went up – that’s right, actually increased by 0.6%.  With lot prices in the Myrtle Beach area at an all time low and construction costs down, now is the time to build your New Custom Home in Myrtle Beach.

Most markets have signs they’ve hit the bottom; Florida and Southwest’s plight continues

Jim Haughey, Chief Economist, Reed Construction Data
September 29, 2009
HousingZone

The Case-Shiller home price index for major housing markets increased more than 1 percent in July from June, the third consecutive small improvement. Unfortunately the data is two months old. Other, more recent, housing market measures suggest that prices have continued to rise through September, although the pace of gain may have slowed. The cumulative rise in home prices through September is probably about 2 percent. This leaves home prices still about 30 percent below the previous peak level. Nonetheless, the change in trend is significant.

Financially able prospective home buyers as well as speculators have been waiting several years for a clear sign that the price bottom has been passed. Now they have it, at least in most housing markets. There is no sign of the price bottom yet in the most troubled housing markets in the Southwest and Florida. Home prices remain too high in these regions relative to income and rates for available rental housing. Since these regions also have too many homes relative to their now lower population, the slide in home prices will continue for many months. But elsewhere those who have been waiting can now buy without fear that they are leaving money on the table.

The result of the turn in housing prices will be rising home sales later this year. Home sales are reported when the final paperwork transferring the deed is completed. Typically, this is two or more months after the buyers offer was accepted. Reed Construction Data projects existing home sales to increase 7 percent and new home sales 11 percent by the end of winter with the growth rate accelerating beyond winter.

Depressed home prices will continue to constrain home sales for several more years. More than a third of mortgaged homeowners will still be “underwater,” having home priced less than mortgage principal at the beginning of 2010. A few of these homeowners will default but most will simply wait for their rising home value top catch up with their falling mortgage principal before they are ready to move.

Now is the time to build a new home in Myrtle Beach.  Don’t miss this perfect opportunity to buy.  Ameri Built Homes is now offering full lot/construction financing for clients.  The only thing you do is get final permanent financing.  You pick the lot, we buy it, build your new home and sell it to you as a package.  It is that easy.  Call TODAY for more information.
