Water Heater Installation & Repair

Water heater installation is extremely important for your daily household tasks. So when something goes wrong and it’s time to get a new one, you want to ensure you get a product that will meet your household’s needs; as well as serving you for as many years as possible. With so many options available, however, it can be hard to figure out which model is the best for you.

The first thing that has to be decided when you’re looking at hot water heaters is what fuel source type you want to use. The three main fuel sources are oil, gas, or electricity. We will tell you the availability of these in your area, as well as the ball park price for each so that you can make an informed decision.

After you decide what source you want to use for your water heater installation, you will then have to decide if you’re better off with a tankless water heater or tank water heater.

While a tank water heater is older and used throughout the world, tankless water heaters are new to the market. Although tankless water heaters are new to the market, they work well and are a great idea for many homeowners.

Unlike a traditional tank water heater that keeps hot water handy and ready for use whenever you need it, tankless water heaters only heat water when you turn on an appliance that needs hot water or your tap. This water takes a few moments to get hot.

This is done by running the water across a series of heating elements and then directly to your faucet. This allows for you to have hot water whenever you need it, without having to pay for a tank full of hot water 24 hours a day.

If hot water is in high demand in your home from multiple family members or for any reason, you may need to get either a few tankless water heaters or stick with a traditional tank model.

Water Heater Efficiency

Once you’ve decided on the type of water heater that will suit your needs best, you must also determine how big it needs to be to fit your household needs. In order to do this, you’ll want to figure out approximately how much hot water your household uses at peak time, then purchase a water heater that’s slightly larger than that. A professional like the ones at Hardenburgh Plumbing can calculate this amount for you in a way that makes it clear which systems are options for each individual situation.

You don’t want to get the biggest water heater that you can find, because this may be more than you need which means you’re paying more to keep the tank hot at all times. On the other hand, you don’t’ want to get a tank that’s too small that you will always run out of water when you need it most. That’s why we help you calculate the amount of water you typically use to ensure we choose the right size.

Another important aspect to consider is the energy-efficient rating of each model that you’re considering. If you choose a model that has a large tank, your energy bill can climb drastically if you don’t get an energy-efficient tank. Even though a high rating model may cost a bit more money upfront, it saves you a lot of money in the long run.
