With a regular tank hot water heater you can buy and install the circulator pump on-line or at home depot. Very easy.

If you have a tankless system, this pump may not work because the tankless needs a certain amount of flow before it will turn On. That's why unless you know what you are doing, best to get a professonal to install it then you can add the wifi switch to control it with Google or Alexa.
