Sacramento’s Curtis Park neighborhood hosts many early 20th-century homes with tight attics and fragile clay roofs. The Martinez family feared an invasive install would compromise their vintage tiles. CountBricks deployed a low-profile rail system and installed a 120-gallon indirect tank in the basement laundry nook—no attic work required. Their first year’s utility statement showed a 68 % drop in water-heating costs, and the roof retained its original charm. View similar success stories at CountBricks.com/portfolio.
