What to be on the lookout for with your water heater

If you have a malfunctioning water heater, you may be wondering whether it’s time to get a water heater replacement, or if water heater repair would suffice. While replacement may seem daunting due to its upfront cost, there are scenarios where it’s truly your best option. We’ve put together a guide to help you determine which might be right for you, but, ultimately, you should talk to one of our professionals for help making your final decision.

You should opt for getting your current system repaired if:

• You don’t need frequent repairs.
• You have a water heater that is 10 years old or less.
• You need an easy and affordable repair done.

SIGNS YOU SHOULD GET WATER HEATER REPLACEMENT

You should consider full water heater replacement if:

• Your water heater is more than 10 years old.
• You need a particularly serious or costly repair to fix your water heater.
• You want to install a tankless water heater, instead.

WATER HEATER INSTALLATION PROCESS

When it comes to water heater installation, we’ll provide you with professional service throughout the process. Here are the steps we usually follow when installing a new water heater in a building:

1. We’ll take into account your hot water needs.
2. If there’s a water heater currently installed, we’ll disconnect it.
3. We’ll install the new water heater in its desired location and connect it to the water lines.
4. After installation, we’ll turn on the water to test to make sure the installation was a success.

WATER HEATER TYPES

There are two main types of water heater: those with tanks and those without (tankless). Tankless water heaters work on-demand, so you’ll never run out of water. They may, however, be less ideal for bigger homes or if you need your water heater to heat a larger amount of water at once like what you’d need for a jacuzzi or multi-jetted shower. For those instances ,a traditional water heater with a tank would be a better option. Our professionals at Blaze Heating, Cooling, Electrical & Plumbing will help you determine which kind of water heater will work best in your home.
