Frequently Asked Questions
How does a recirculating pump work?
A recirculating pump is an electric device that functions like any pump that moves water. Unlike traditional systems that waste cold water, demand systems use a pump to return cooled water to the water heater, saving both energy usage and water. In this particular case, the pump sends the cooled down water (furthest away from the water heater) in your hot water pipe back to the water heater, instead of sending it down the drain.
What are the main benefits of having a recirculating pump?
Benefits include:
- Reduced Wait Time: Eliminates the wait for hot water at distant fixtures and prevents cold water waste.
- Water and Energy Savings: System recycles cooled water back to the heater, reducing water waste and lowering energy costs.
- Control Features: Activate the system via buttons, timers, or motion sensors as needed.
Will a pump work in any home?
Yes, in most cases. There needs to be a water heater in the home and electricity for the pump to be able to run. The pump itself takes up little space, and some kind of switch to turn on the pump must be mounted somewhere. Most installations are simple, and pumps can compactly fit inside a small cabinet or closet.
Will one pump work for all fixtures in the same bathroom?
In most cases, yes. There are rare applications where a bathroom might not allow for it to be plumbed, but most of the time, one pump in one bathroom will work for all water outlets in that particular bathroom.
Is this pump only available for bathrooms?
No, these can be used in a variety of applications, but bathrooms are the most common place you’ll need a recirculating pump. A utility room with hot water fixture, outdoor sink or outdoor shower are some other potential areas of use around the home.
Can anyone successfully install a recirculating pump?
Yes, but we recommend this work be performed by licensed plumbers and electricians. Done incorrectly, water damage and even fire and electrical damage can occur. Homeowner policies and insurance companies may take a dim view of claim damage when the work is a result of improper pump installation.
What does a hot water recirculating pump cost?
Every installation is unique, but most homes with easy electricity access can outfit one bathroom with a hot water recirculating pump for around $800. Location of the bathroom, extended electrical work, physical access to areas in and around the bathroom and the pump can impact the total cost.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“What a great experience having ABC Home and Commercial Services replacing our AC/Heating System that went out during the last big cold spell. Mario and Troy were here on time today they were both very professional and respectful of our home. They did a great job of replacing both our outside condensing unit and the air handler/heating unit in the attic crawl space. They also replaced our old thermostat with a new WI/FI unit. I highly recommend ABC for all your AC needs.”

“HVAC went out and they came by same day. They put in a call to order the part that was still under warranty. They were able to get it in much faster than expected. They installed the new part and also anchored down the unit, which our previous installer failed to do. I plan to keep doing business with this company! Thanks, Jorge!”
