Choosing the Right Water Heater for Your Northford Home

If you’re looking for a new water heater, it can be confusing to know if electric, gas, tank, or tankless versions will work for your space. Both tank and tankless units come in gas and electric models. Typically, you will choose gas or electric based on which system you already have for your home, as installing a gas line can have a significant upfront cost.

 Consider these specifications for tank and tankless water heaters:

Tank heaters are often a low-cost option because they’re easier to install, maintain, and repair compared to tankless heaters. However, they cost more to operate and take up a significant amount of space you could use for storage or another purpose. A tank water heater may last about ten years, but it can take minutes to heat water because it reheats gallons of water at a time.

In contrast, you could choose a tankless or on-demand water heater that can provide hot water in less than 25 seconds. This cost-effective operation heats water as it moves through your pipes instead of heating gallons of water all at once, so you can save money and energy without running out of hot water. This system also lasts longer than tank heaters because it can last up to 30 years with regular maintenance.

What Are the Most Common Water Heater Issues?

Like other plumbing fixtures, your water heater may need repairs over time, especially if it isn’t maintained. 

Common water heater repairs include:

• No hot water: If you have an electric heater, check for a tripped breaker and try resetting your heater. A gas heater may need to be relit occasionally. If this isn’t the case, you may have a faulty heating element that needs to be replaced.
• Water is too hot: Initially, try lowering the thermostat. For every ten degrees you lower the temperature, you can decrease energy usage by 5%. If your water is still too hot, your temperature pressure valve may have malfunctioned.
• Leaks: You can troubleshoot a leak by tightening loose connections around the unit. However, if your heater is over ten years old, it may have corroded and needs to be replaced. We can help you find a new unit perfect for your home with our top-quality water heaters in Northford.

The best way to prevent repairs like these is with regular maintenance. Your water heater should be maintained annually to tighten any connections or flush your unit to remove mineral build-up. Without this maintenance, your heater may need to be replaced faster than a well-maintained unit.
