Water Heater

Servicing Both Tank and Tankless Water Heaters

When homeowners have a problem with their water heater, the first question they ask us is whether it should be repaired or replaced. The best solution depends on the problem with the water heater and its age. A tank water heater usually lasts about 10 years and a tankless water heater up to 20 years. So if your water heater is at the end of its expected life, replacement is recommended.

Other reasons to replace a water heater include:

• Leaks – A leak from a pipe or other connection to the water heater can be repaired. However, the water heater will need to be replaced when the tank is leaking.
• Noise – If you notice loud rumbling or banging noises from an older water heater, it can indicate sediment buildup inside the tank. Sediment buildup can wear down the tank and cause failure.
• Rust-colored hot water – Seeing rust in the hot water can be a sign that the water heater is corroding and needs to be replaced.
• Tank size – Are you constantly running out of hot water? The tank may not be large enough to supply enough hot water to meet your family’s demand. Upgrading to a larger tank or a tankless water heater is the best way to solve this problem.
• Lack of maintenance – A hot water heater that has not received regular maintenance, such as flushing the tank, won’t last as long.

Our licensed plumbers can inspect your water heater and offer honest, real solutions. If it is time for an upgrade, the options are a tank or tankless water heater. A standard tank water heater is less expensive to install. Tanks are available in a variety of sizes to accommodate the hot water needs of homes of different sizes.

Understanding Hot Water Heaters
Water heaters are an essential component of any household, providing the hot water needed for bathing, cleaning, and cooking. Whether you’re upgrading your existing system or installing a new one, understanding the options available is key to making an informed decision.

Tank Water Heaters
Traditional tank hot water heaters store and heat water in a large tank, ensuring a ready supply when needed. These units are known for their reliability and simplicity. However, they can be less energy-efficient than their tankless counterparts due to the continuous heating of water, and their size requires considerable space.

Tankless Hot Water Heaters
Tankless hot water heaters, on the other hand, heat water on demand using high-powered burners, providing hot water instantly without the need for a storage tank. This not only saves on energy costs but also frees up space in your home. While the initial investment may be higher, the long-term savings and convenience can be significant.

Choosing the Right Option for Your Home
Deciding between a tank and tankless hot water heater involves considering your household’s water usage, space availability, and budget. Tank heaters may suit those with higher water usage and a lower upfront budget, while tankless models are ideal for smaller households prioritizing energy efficiency and space-saving.
