Bathtubs and spas with electronic controls are among some of the latest technology involving bath additions. Spas have been considered a bathtub luxury for quite some time. But now consumers can make additions to that old bathtub or spa with electronic controls for even more customized comfort and luxury in their bathrooms. Electronic bath faucets are great luxury bath additions for households with children. Luxury steam showers and saunas can be very relaxing, as well as add value to your home.


Electronic Bathtubs and Spas

Prices for these luxury electronic bathtubs can vary, depending on desired features and bathtub type and size. Some bathtubs and spas with electronic controls are in the same price range as traditional ones. Yet, some are in a higher price range. The varying styles, features and sizes can contribute to the pricing options. Also, remember to factor in any extra costs associated with making the actual addition. A luxury electronic bathtub is one of several bath additions that can raise the resale value of a home.


Electronic Bath Faucets

Electronic bath faucets are recommended as a great luxury bath addition for families with children. These faucets can be installed to most any bathroom sink. Kids and parents both can benefit from installing electronic faucets. Parents don't have to worry about water being wasted by kids leaving on running water. Kids don't have to get frustrated by faucet handles that are hard to turn. Even those without children will appreciate this small but very useful luxury bath addition.

Steam Showers

Prefer showers instead of baths? That's just fine. Luxury options are available for showers as well. Consider steam showers. Luxury electronic steam showers offer a variety of options including computer control panels, remote control, FM radio, jacuzzi and even underwater lighting. A steam shower as a luxury electronic bath addition could be a great choice for many reasons. Steam is useful for allergies and colds and also can be very relaxing after a long day.

Saunas

Perhaps you prefer your luxury bath addition to come in the form of a sauna. A sauna in itself is luxurious. However, don't stop there if you can help it. Luxury saunas can also come equipped with ceiling lighting, a telephone, a ceiling shower, comfy seating, FM radio, LCD computerized controls, a temperature sensor and much more. Extra time in the sauna can be great for the skin and where better to get that sauna treatment than in the comfort of your own home.

Remember that not everyone can install something like this themselves. If you don't have the proper experience, it's best to hire a licensed professional.

Gas or Electric Water Heater?

Both gas and electric water heaters work well. But, which one is right for you? Are certain water heaters better for certain situations? Does it really matter? Which saves the most money or energy? These are all questions you may have when choosing between gas or electric water heaters.

A natural gas water heater is typically the least expensive to maintain. It takes less time to heat the water with natural gas than it does to heat it with electricity or other gases. It also is typically less expensive to use natural gas, according to 2005 data from the Energy Information Administration. Because rates can vary and change, it still is wise to check your area's rates for both, but natural gas often has the better rate.

Electric water heaters may be more convenient to install in a home not equipped for a gas water heater. For instance, this would be typical in a home where it simply is not possible to install a gas water heater by running a pipe from the water heater to the flue in the roof. Generally, an electric water heater would be a last resort when there is no other option available. A local plumber should know which type of water heater is best for your area.

Some water heaters may run on oil, kerosene, propane, or other such resources. Some may even use wood or solar energy. However, these types of water heaters are used far less than gas or electric water heaters. Gas water heaters are used the most, with electric heaters following suit. The others make up a very small percentage.

Did You Know?
A plumber can help you convert your electric water heater into a gas unit. This can save you from buying a whole new unit.
