Traditional Water Heaters
Traditional water heaters come with a tank that stores hot water, ensuring it’s available when you need it, be it for a shower, doing the dishes, or any other need. These can be:
Gas Water Heaters: These use gas to heat the water. They typically have a pilot light that stays ignited, ensuring water remains hot. Gas water heaters can be connected directly to your home’s gas line, offering a consistent hot water supply.
Electric Water Heaters: Using electricity as a source, electric water heaters are generally easy to install. They’re a common choice for many households, particularly where a gas line isn’t available.
Keep Your Water Heater Running Smoothly
With both hot water heater types, maintenance is key. Regular check-ups can prevent leaks, ensuring your unit functions properly and efficiently. Over time if your old system becomes inefficient over time, you may need a replacement water heater.
Tankless Water Heaters
A more modern option, tankless water heaters provide hot water on demand, heating water directly without needing a storage tank. Whether it’s a gas water heater or electric water heater model, they offer the benefit of:
- Space-saving: With no tank, these are perfect for homes with limited space.
- Efficiency: Since they only heat water when required, they can save money on energy bills.
- Longevity: With fewer parts that can wear out, tankless systems often last longer than traditional models.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install, repair, or otherwise service my water heater myself?
Handy homeowners can handle some water heater maintenance and repairs. We advise against installing a new water heater yourself, especially if it’s a different system from the previous one, because you may unintentionally make a mistake, void your warranty, not install it to the building code, or otherwise set yourself up for a future visit by your plumber anyway.
How do I know if my water heater is failing?
The obvious sign of a failing water heater is only getting cold water, but it’s not the only sign. Here are some other symptoms to look out for:
- The water temperature is wildly inconsistent or never above lukewarm.
- Your water heater is leaking.
- Your water pressure is low.
- Water is coming from your tap discolored or with a metallic scent.
- Your water heater is making weird noises.
- You’re making repairs that will cost more in the long run than buying a brand-new water heater would cost.
- You get hot water, but it runs out quickly.
- Your utility bills are higher than usual, but your usage hasn’t changed.
If your water heater has water dripping or pooling around the base of the tank, you need a plumber as soon as possible. This is a sign of an irreparable internal issue, and if it’s not handled, it can become a much more serious problem than replacing your water heater
How often should I have my water heater serviced?
Generally, how often you should service your water heater depends on what kind you have, how hard your water is, what the local weather conditions are on average, and more. As a rule of thumb, having your unit serviced once a year is ideal; more often, it is better to have hard water to prevent too much sediment build-up.
