Water Heater Repair
Is your water heater working properly? Do you have the proper water pressure and temperature at all times? If not, you might need to replace the water heater with a newer unit, maybe one of those modern Rheem or Bosch water heaters, if not a classic Whirlpool or Kenmore. Those are still around, but the latter is owned by the former, so don’t get confused when you need to buy parts. While you’re shopping, you might also want to check out Eemax. It’s not a generic brand. They are the real deal in the water heater industry and their products are top quality.
If your water heater is over ten years old, it might be a good idea to replace it even if you think its working properly. The water heaters manufactured in recent years are far more energy efficient than those made in the old days. As awareness about water conservation has spread, the companies that make water heaters have started to pay more attention to the issue of heating more for less. This is done by utilizing new technology and also thinking outside the box. The traditional storage tank water heater isn’t the only option available to a homeowner now.
Tank-less water heaters, not a new innovation but definitely an up and comer in the US market, are slowly gaining ground in North America. The heater doesn’t require a tank. Water is heated close to the spigot or shower head by a heating element which uses less electricity than the standard heaters in a basement. They take up less space and don’t require a constant flow of electricity to heat up a tank. There are only operating when you’re actually using the water.
Solar water heaters have also increased in popularity in recent years, though they’re still not practical in areas of the country that see colder temperatures and multiple days in a row without sunlight. If you have questions about solar water heaters, tank-less water heaters, or traditional storage tank water heaters, give us a call and we’ll be happy to answer them for you. If you need one installed or repaired, we’re happy to do that too.
