Water heaters are complex systems that supply hot water for various daily activities and needs.

We can seamlessly replace your water heater with a new, high-quality unit that fits your home's demands and energy efficiency goals. 

When Should Water Heaters Be Replaced?

Knowing when to replace your water heater can help avoid unexpected breakdowns and maintain efficiency. While most water heaters last 8-12 years, certain situations require proactive replacement.

Watch out for these signs:

• Your system is over ten years old, which is the typical lifespan of most units
• Rust-colored water from your hot water taps suggests internal tank corrosion
• Water leakage around the base of the heater indicates tank failure 
• Insufficient hot water or the water doesn't get as hot as it used to
• Unusual noises, such as rumbling or banging from the water heater as sediment builds up
• Frequent repairs signal that it is more cost-effective to replace rather than repair
• Water temperature fluctuations without any changes to settings
• Cloudy water with an odd smell, indicating mineral deposits affecting the water quality
• Rising energy bills due to the inefficiency of an aging water heater

Choosing the Best Water Heater for Your Home

Selecting the best new water heater for your home requires careful consideration of several factors. The first step is to decide between a traditional tank water heater and a tankless (on-demand) system. Tank water heaters are more common and can be less expensive to install. However, they can be less energy efficient than tankless models, which provide hot water only as needed and can reduce energy consumption.

Evaluate the fuel type that aligns best with your preferences and availability. This includes electricity, natural gas, propane, and solar energy. Natural gas units generally offer lower operational costs than electric heaters but may require more upfront investment. If you're interested in sustainable living, solar-powered water heaters or models with high Energy Star ratings can be ideal. 

Consider the size and capacity of the water heater. A general rule of thumb for tank models is to allow for 10-15 gallons of capacity per person in the household. Tankless water heaters are sized based on the flow rate required at peak usage. It's crucial to accurately assess your home's hot water needs to avoid under-sizing, which can be unnecessarily costly and inefficient.

Our team takes the time to understand your household's needs and preferences to make the optimal recommendation.
