Top-Rated Water Heater Services
South West offers comprehensive water heater services to keep your system in top-notch condition. This includes water heater installation, replacement, and repair. Our skilled technicians can work on all kinds of water heaters, including gas, electric, traditional, and tankless water heaters.
Gas Water Heaters
Traditional water heaters that run on natural gas are available in sizes of up to 75 gallons and have improved in efficiency over the years. Benefits of these systems include fast heating, lower operating costs than electric alternatives, and large size availability for bigger families.
Electric Water Heaters
An electric water heater uses electrical resistance coils to heat water and store it in an insulated tank. These units offer great benefits, including simple installation, no potential for dangerous gas leaks, and greater energy efficiency than gas models.
Tankless Water Heaters
Compared to a traditional unit, a tankless water heater is superior as it offers on-demand hot water with an electrical system that heats water only when you need it. Without a large storage tank, these systems take up far less space in your garage or basement.
Other great benefits include a longer lifespan of 15 to 20 years, an endless supply of hot water, and the highest level of energy efficiency.Â
When Should I Replace My Water Heater? 4 Signs
If your water heater is no longer operating at peak performance, it may be at the end of its lifespan. Call our expert plumbers for superior water heater repairs if you’re having any of these issues:
- Age of the unit: If your water heater is 10 years or older and requires frequent repairs, replacing it may be a better financial decision.
- Rusty water: Rusty water coming from your hot water taps is a sign that there’s corrosion in your pipes or tank.
- Strange noises: Rumbling, gurgling, knocking, or other odd noises can indicate a buildup of sediment, which may require system replacement.
- Leaks: Your water heater could be leaking for many reasons, including sediment buildup, corrosion, loose drain valves, and more.
How to Select The Right Water Heater Replacement
When choosing a water heater replacement for your home, it’s important to assess three key factors:
- Space: A tankless system can be wall-mounted and takes up to 60% less space than a traditional system.
- Efficiency: The most efficient system available is a tankless heater. However, these systems may not be large enough for a large home.
- Capacity: Understanding how much water your family uses will help you choose the right water heater size for the best efficiency.
