Water Heaters Are No Longer Luxuries, They Are Necessities

Nearly every home in the U.S. comes equipped with a hot water heater, although the type of hot water heaters may vary depending upon the age and location of the home. The type of water heater that’s installed will also depend on whether the homeowner has replaced an existing appliance and when. A home could have a gas, electric, or tankless water heater. Each of these will heat water for the residents when needed, but some types provide advantages that the others do not.

Types of Hot Water Heaters

Homes in areas that have natural gas infrastructures and supplies are more likely to have gas hot water heaters. Geographic areas that rely more on electricity for heating and cooling needs are more likely to have homes and residences equipped with electric hot water heaters. Tankless hot water heaters are making their way into newly built homes and in homes where the owners have decided to upgrade to a more energy-efficient option.

Advantages of Tankless Hot Water Heaters

Tankless hot water heaters provide several advantages over tanked or traditional versions. First, a tankless version takes up less space in the home or residence and can be mounted on a wall. Most homes with a tankless water heater have them mounted in a utility room or closet. They use less energy since tankless heaters do not store heated water and only turn on once the hot water supply is turned on by a resident. 

A homeowner or resident can experience reduced energy costs of up to thirty percent by installing a tankless water heater. In addition, the life expectancy of a tankless heater is between fifteen and twenty years, compared with ten to fifteen years for a traditional, tanked version. However, the home or residence could require large gas lines, a different type of venting system, and additional electrical circuits. This is why upgrading from a tanked to a tankless version in an established home may involve additional installation costs. 

Installation, Repair, and Warranty Considerations

When making the decision to upgrade, replace, or repair a hot water heater, hiring a licensed plumber or contractor like Air & Energy is beneficial. First, a contractor can easily diagnose problems related to back-drafting and other malfunctions that can present dangers to the residents. Second, when replacing or upgrading an existing hot water heater, a licensed plumber can evaluate the home’s existing infrastructure and make recommendations that will provide the homeowner with several options. Third, a contractor will be aware of any permits or local code requirements that need to be met for installation. 

If your existing hot water heater is near the end of its life expectancy, don’t get caught without hot water. Be sure to know your repair or replacement options a year or two before your hot water heater goes out. Visit https://www.airandenergy.biz/contact-us for a quote for a replacement or upgrade.
