Can I replace my electric storage hot water unit with an electric instantaneous hot water unit?

| Q. |
Why do my drains gurgle?
|
| A. |
The drains are in the process of blocking and in most cases will need to be cleared by a drain machine as soon as possible, ideally before it blocks completely. The plumber will use a rotating rod machine which cuts and clears out the blockage.
