Tankless Water Heater
Traditional water heaters have huge tanks that take up a lot of space in your home. These tanks hold hot water and have the job of keeping it warm. This causes them to use up a lot of energy as well.
A tankless water heater does not have a giant tank taking up all your space, and it only provides hot water when it is needed. By doing so, they can save you up to 60% on water heating costs and help you in your quest of going green while building your ADU.
Efficiency Kitchen
Your kitchen is a busy area when you are trying to cook. Having room to move around is nice but hard to achieve when you need to fit a bunch of appliances in one small room. Luckily there is a way to fit multiple appliances in one small compact unit to make room in your kitchen for other things.
An efficiency kitchen contains:
- Refrigerator
- Cooktop
- Sink/faucet
- Storage
You can get an efficiency kitchen in any size you need. Some even come with additional countertop space!
Over The Range Microwave
Microwaves are a luxury we often take for granted. It is so easy to pop your leftovers in a microwave for a few minutes and have yourself a meal without having to heat up the stove. However, microwaves do take up quite a bit of countertop space that is quite valuable in a small room.
To solve this problem, many people mount their microwaves on the wall above their countertop to make more space. An even better solution is to buy an over-the-range microwave. This microwave can be mounted over the top of your cooktop because it contains a vent beneath it to aerate out your small kitchen. You get two super helpful appliances in one!
