• Increased efficiency: Newer hot water heaters consume less energy and heat water more efficiently. Energy Factor ratings, which measure the amount of hot water produced per unit of fuel, are improved as well.
• Reduced space: We can install a more compact electric water heater. Tankless water heaters save the most space; they are small enough to mount on a wall and can be tucked away in a closet. This leaves room for additional storage in your home.
• Better hot water replenishment: Old water heaters lose efficiency and may leave you with a cold shower, not to mention reduced water quality. We can eliminate the need for tanks, so your hot water is continuously refreshed and provided when needed.

Stepping into the shower to discover you’re not getting hot water is not a pleasant experience. This can be an obvious sign that something’s wrong with your water heater but there are other, less obvious signs to look out for. It’s easy to forget about your water heater, but simple inspections and preventative maintenance can keep it in good working condition for a long time. The following are common signs that you require water heater repair or replacement:

• Water Temperature – Having no hot water at all is a sure sign that you have a problem. You might also experience your water being too hot or too cold. These problems can be the result of a buildup of sediment or a thermostat issue.
• Rusting – If you have brown or rusty colored water, there’s a significant chance of corrosion with your water heater. Corrosion always leads to leaks, but repair or replacement will solve the problem.
• Leaking – If your water heater is leaking water from the top, you likely have a loose pipe or a failed T&P valve.
• Foul Smelling Water – If the water coming out of your tank smells unpleasant, you probably have a high level of bacteria present. 

Understandably, many homeowners would rather pay less to have their water heater repaired than having it replaced. However, that isn’t always the best option in the long run. If your water heater is near the end of its lifespan, it makes sense to have it replaced. 

You should also consider water heater replacement if you’ve noticed your energy bills going up. Newer models are more energy-efficient, especially tankless water heaters. Sure, you might save a little money today by not having your water heater replaced, but you’ll likely need more repairs in the future and won’t be able to enjoy the benefits of reduced water bills. When this is the case, new water heater installation is your best option.

Take care of your home’s appliances, and they’ll take care of you. Proper maintenance of your water heater is key to maximizing its performance and extending its lifespan. Annual inspections and tune-ups allow our team to catch small issues before they turn into costly problems.

Our comprehensive water heater maintenance services include clearing mineral buildup, flushing the system, inspecting and adjusting electrical connections, cleaning air intake filters, and more. These simple yet effective services can help lower your energy bills and prolong the life of your water heater.
