The Home Improvement Show 3-14-26

Tune in here for this 3-14-26 episode of the Home Depot Home Improvement show on WBT with John Gordon and David Dovell. On this edition of the program, John and Dave talk about the pros and cons of modern water heater options while also touching on seasonal home improvement planning as spring approaches. The hosts kick off the show reflecting on the unpredictable late-winter weather swings in the Carolinas and how homeowners are entering that “in-between” time of year—when cold snaps still appear even as warmer temperatures start to arrive. The conversation then shifts to a listener question about whether upgrading to a hybrid water heater or installing a tankless, on-demand system is a smart investment. John explains the potential energy savings of hybrid heat pump water heaters and notes that earlier calculations suggested homeowners could recover the higher upfront cost in just a few years through reduced energy use. Dave adds that tankless systems remain popular, particularly in homes with gas service, because they provide a continuous supply of hot water and free up valuable space. Together, they discuss performance, cost considerations, and when each option makes the most sense for homeowners. Listen Here For More !!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
