Water Heaters

Don’t get left out in the cold! Water heaters are an important part of every home or businesses plumbing system. We have the tools and knowledge to work on all heating systems including tankless water heaters.

A water heater impacts your life in more ways than you think. Imagine being in the middle of a relaxing and warm shower, your hair covered in shampoo, and suddenly the water turns freezing cold. And if you have several roommates or a large family living under one roof, you may find yourself having to schedule your showers around the valuable hot water supply.

Since water heaters can be an expensive investment for homeowners, it is important to know when it’s time to replace your old water heater or change the type of model you use. You should consider the efficiency, cost, and longevity of a new water heater. Although traditional storage tank water heaters are still the most common type, tankless water heaters are becoming more popular.

Traditional Water Heaters

Pros of Traditional Water Heaters

• A storage tank water heater operates more simply compared to a tankless water heater.
• Installation and repair costs are often less than that of a tankless heater.

Cons of Traditional Water Heaters

• Traditional water heaters are bigger, bulkier, and harder to place than their tankless counterparts.
• These heaters often have a shorter useful life compared to tankless ones. They typically last for 8-12 years. As a result, they may have to be replaced nearly twice as often as tankless heaters.
• With a traditional heater, the capacity is limited and, as a result, you run the risk of having hot water run out while you’re using it.
• Storage tank heaters repeatedly heat and reheat water at a pre-defined temperature regardless of your water usage. This can increase your utility bill—particularly during the winter.
