Water Heater Repair and Installation

Regular water heater maintenance is essential whether you have a standard tank or a tankless unit. Part of the reason is that maintenance can help you avoid expensive repairs. It also significantly affects how efficiently your water heater works and how long it lasts. One of the biggest issues with not having a tank water heater maintained regularly is that the tank often ends up corroding more quickly. Over time, this creates an increased risk of the tank leaking or even completely rupturing.

If your water heater isn’t working properly, it’s also essential that you have a plumber inspect and repair it as soon as possible. If you wait too long, you may suddenly find yourself without hot water. Your water heater will also typically experience more wear and tear at any time when it isn’t functioning effectively.

If you notice any of the following issues, it’s time to bring in plumbing professionals who deal with water heater repair and replacement.

When it comes to water heater installation, it’s important that you choose a sufficiently large unit. For tank units, the main thing to consider is how many gallons of hot water you may need in approximately an hour. If you want to install a tankless unit, you instead need to consider how many total gallons you may need per minute. If a tankless water heater doesn’t have a high enough flow rate, you’ll often experience issues with temperature fluctuations when using multiple fixtures simultaneously.

Deciding whether to install a tank or tankless unit isn’t always straightforward. Tank units cost less, but they also typically use more energy. While you’ll pay more to install a tankless unit, it will work more efficiently and should last quite a bit longer. The tradeoff is that tankless units have a longer lag time since they heat on demand. That means you’ll have to wait a bit longer before the water flowing out of a fixture gets fully hot.
