Chapel Hill Water Heater Notes
Orange County water runs slightly harder than Durham supply, making annual descaling more critical for tankless installations. Historic homes near UNC campus on hard clay lots have slab-mounted water heaters that require code-compliant seismic strapping. We service all Chapel Hill zip codes including 27514, 27516, and 27517.
