Hot Water Heater Repair and Installation
Hot water makes our lives so much better. Hot water helps clean dishes, makes showers so much more pleasant and makes mop water more effective. Think of all the uses around the house in the kitchen, laundry and bath. Most water heaters are powered by gas or electricity however, increasingly, solar power is being used to assist in heating water, and in some cases, completely heat the water. Each design has advantages that “best fit” your needs.
Many large buildings use very large water heaters, referred to as “boilers”, to provide hot water to many users from a single or a few points. Most, if not all, of these boilers are gas “fired” and have capacities much larger than what most of us are familiar with. We are fully qualified to maintain and repair this type of water heater for those who have it.
Common Features of Water Heaters:
- A water supply to the heater.
- A means of providing heat to the water.
- A way to control the temperature the water is heated to.
- An outlet to the user.
- A storage tank (in most cases)
A residential user in a townhouse or home, or a commercial user in an office complex or smaller building will usually use a water heater with a capacity from zero to 80 gallons. These are normally powered by electricity or “gas” (natural or propane).
“Zero gallons?” you ask. Sure! There is a type of water heater that provides “instant” hot water, heating the water, as it is needed. This “demand” based heater must heat a smaller amount of water much quicker than larger, more conventional storage style water heaters, and there are advantages for these in certain cases.
Tank Water Heaters
These are the most common type of water heaters. They can store and heat large amounts of water at a time and are suitable for steady, high-use demands. Tank water heater solutions offer a lower initial purchase price, often simpler installation, and the convenience of still having hot water even in electrical outages for gas-powered heaters.
Tankless Water Heaters
With tankless water heaters, you get heat-on-demand technology and an endless supply of hot water whenever and wherever it’s needed – even for simultaneous uses at multiple fixtures.
Benefits of Going Tankless
- Designed for efficiency
Tankless technology uses copper heat exchangers to provide maximum efficiency and uses far less energy than a traditional tank. - Save energy
By operating only when hot water is needed, and no storage tank to heat and reheat water, tankless technology helps save on energy and utility costs. - A smart investment
Increase your home’s value with premium technology and increased energy efficiency. Energy efficiency rebates and tax credits also offer the opportunity to help make your purchases more affordable. - Maximum output, minimum space
About the size of a small suitcase, wall-mounted models can be installed on interior or exterior walls and in compact spaces to free up valuable space. - Flexible installation
Small size allows for installation in non-traditional spaces such as crawl spaces and attics, making it perfect for use in any size home, including manufactured and modular homes.
