There are multiple factors to consider with water heater repair or placement including the following:
1. Tank Size & Water Supply Needs
- The most common water tank sizes for single-family homes range from 40 to 50 gallons, though larger and specialty-sized tanks are available.
- Tankless water heater installation is an excellent option for on-demand hot water, increased efficiency, and reduced energy costs.
2. Fuel Type: Gas vs. Electric
- Natural gas water heaters typically have lower energy costs over time but require a proper gas line and ventilation.
- Electric water heaters are often cheaper to buy and install but may cost more to operate.
- Our technicians will help you determine the best option based on your home’s existing setup and long-term cost savings.
3. Energy Efficiency & Operating Costs
- A higher Energy Factor (EF) rating means greater efficiency, which can save money on utilities.
- Installation costs may be higher for energy-efficient models, but they reduce long-term energy expenses.
4. Installation Requirements & Code Compliance
- Existing water heater removal and upgrades may be required, including updating cold water lines, gas lines, and discharge pipes.
- A thermostatic mixing valve can be installed to control water temperature, improving safety and efficiency.
- Pulling permits and code upgrades may be necessary, and we’ll handle these requirements for an additional cost.
5. Safety Components & System Longevity
- A properly installed relief valve and drain valve prevent excess pressure, ensuring safe operation.
- We ensure your system is installed to manufacturer specifications for maximum performance and longevity.
