Choosing Your New Water Heater
Expert Guidance for the Perfect Fit
Selecting the right water heater is a critical decision for your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. The ideal unit depends on several factors, including the size of your household, your daily hot water consumption, and your available fuel source, such as natural gas or electricity. Our experts at Tapped Out Plumbing and Backflow help you navigate these choices, ensuring you invest in a system that meets your specific needs without overspending on unnecessary capacity or features.
We offer guidance on the two primary types of water heaters: traditional storage tank models and modern tankless, or on-demand, systems. Storage tank heaters are a cost-effective and familiar option, while tankless heaters provide endless hot water and significant long-term energy savings. We will explain the benefits and drawbacks of each, considering your budget and lifestyle to help you make a confident and informed decision for your home.
A Seamless and Safe Installation Experience
A professional water heater installation is a meticulous process that guarantees safety and optimal performance. Our certified technicians begin by safely disconnecting and draining your old unit, then carefully removing it from your property. We then prepare the installation site, ensuring the new unit has a stable, level surface and that all plumbing, gas, or electrical connections are positioned correctly and meet code requirements.
Safety is our top priority. Once the new water heater is in place, we meticulously connect the water lines, double-checking for any potential leaks. For gas models, we ensure the ventilation system is clear and functioning properly to prevent any carbon monoxide hazards. We test the unit, calibrate the thermostat to a safe and efficient temperature, and walk you through its operation before considering the job complete.
Recognizing the Warning Signals
It’s crucial to recognize the warning signs of a failing water heater before it leads to a major leak or a complete loss of hot water. One of the most obvious indicators is inconsistent water temperature or a total lack of hot water. You may also notice strange noises, such as popping, rumbling, or banging, coming from the tank, which often signals a buildup of sediment.
The age of your unit is another significant factor. A standard tank-style water heater typically has a lifespan of 8-12 years. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed this age, it’s wise to consider a proactive replacement to avoid the stress and potential water damage of an emergency failure. Also, be on the lookout for rusty or discolored water coming from your hot water taps, as this can indicate corrosion inside the tank.
A less obvious but equally important sign is a sudden increase in your energy bills. As a water heater ages, its efficiency declines, forcing it to work harder and consume more energy to heat the same amount of water. Upgrading to a new, high-efficiency model can not only restore your comfort but also lead to noticeable savings on your monthly utility costs.
