Water heaters come in various makes and models, with several features to fit practically any household and commercial use requirements. When it’s time to purchase a new water heater for your home or commercial property, choose from some of the most popular options, like:

1. Storage Tank (Conventional) Water Heaters: Conventional storage tank units have an insulated tank that stores and heats water, and come in either electric or gas models.  

• Gas Hot Water Tanks: Gas water heaters usually cost less that electric heaters and have a faster recovery rate making them ideal for larger families. Fuel by gas, they can produce hot water during power outages

• Electric Hot Water Tanks: Electric water heaters usually cost more that gas heaters and have a slower recovery rate. However, they are easier to install and boost better efficiency.

2. Tankless (On-Demand, Inline) Water Heaters: Water is heated only as needed rather that using a tank to store and heat water. Available in gas and electric models, tankless water heaters are energy-efficient, and offer an endless supply of hot water.

3. Heat Pump (Hybrid) Water Heaters: Combines the conventional storage tank with a heat pump and uses heat from the air to produce hot water. While hybrid water heaters are energy efficient and can provide plenty of hot water on demand, they are not considered the best option in colder areas.

To select the most appropriate water heater for your home, factors such as the following need to be considered:

• The current plumbing system in your home
• How many bathrooms and family members use how water in your home
• Water heater size and capacity

Choosing the right water heater is important for efficiency and performance. If your unsure about the best water heater for your home or commercial property, we can provide helpful information, answer any questions, and help you compare your options for conventional gas or electric storage tank water heaters, tankless, and hybrid water heaters.

A broken water heater can go undetected for awhile before you even realize there is a issue. It some cases, it is not until you have no access to hot water before you realize a problem exists. Before a water heater completely breaks down there are usually some warning signs that occur to indicate that it’s about to fail.

Being aware of various warning signs can help you prevent the inconvenience of having no access to hot water, and get a broken hot water heater either repaired or replaced before it breaks down completely. The warning signs to be aware of include the following: 

• Water Leaks: A water leak is a common precursor to a water heater emergency. They generally start small, around valves at the top of your unit or at the base, and in no time, they can leak out gallons of water, resulting in water damage and in some instances even mold growth.

• Tank is Over Ten Years Old: If your water heater is over 10 years old, you may want to consider replacing it rather than spending the money on repairs. While some repairs may be a quick fix, others may require more troubleshooting or new parts. At that point it may be smarter to just go ahead and get a newer and probably more energy efficient water heater.

• High Energy Bills: Increases in your utility bill can be the result of a faulty hot water heater.

• Little To No Hot Water: If you find you are consistently running out of hot water without an increase in consumption there may be an issue with the temperature controls inside your unit.

• Low Water Pressure: While low water pressure in indicative to several plumbing issues, like clogged pipes, if low water pressure only happens when you attempt to use hot water then more than likely your water heater may be the source of the problem.

• Rust: Hot water tanks are made of metal, and when metal comes in to contact consistently with water eventually rust will form. The last thing any homeowner wants is for rust colored water to come pouring out of your fixtures, or for your tank to completely rust out and crack open
