From radiant heating to water heating
In Colorado, Eric operated Peak One Plumbing, where his work included radiant floor heating. Designing systems around a household’s comfort gave him an appreciation for the relationship between equipment, piping and the way people use their homes.
He later started DesignerPlumbingOutlet.com, combining his plumbing background with an interest in online businesses. In 2017, he founded Water Heating Experts in Florida with a focused purpose: helping homeowners choose, install and maintain water heating equipment.
Today, that approach means looking beyond a heater’s brand or advertised capacity. Available space, energy supply, household demand and installation requirements all shape the recommendation.
Eric’s role in WHE’s guides
