Water Heater Installation, Repair, & Replacement Magnolia TX

A standard water heater uses electricity, natural gas, or propane to heat water for use throughout your home. Most heaters heat a tank of water, though many homes use tankless water heaters. Here are the signs that it’s time to call our team at Heartland Plumbing to inspect your water heater:

When it’s time to replace or upgrade your water heater, there are two options. The first is the traditional tank storage unit. The second is a tankless unit. Both have their pros and cons. For homes with two people, a tank-storage unit usually works just fine. But if you have six or seven people showering every morning, you may need a tankless to ensure access to hot water. No matter which option you choose, Heartland Plumbing can help you install it properly, with a 100% guarantee on the service.

Tank storage units usually range from 30 to 80 gallons. These tanks work by heating the water stored inside the tank. They come in gas and electric models. Both are relatively easy to install and are less expensive than their tankless counterparts.

One major drawback to tank-storage units is that once the tank is depleted of hot water, you must wait for the tank to reheat the water inside it. For smaller households, this may not be a problem. But for larger households, it may mean you have to wait to take a hot shower.

Tankless water heaters offer several advantages over tank-storage water heaters. Mainly, they give you hot water on demand. Tankless units use a heat exchanger to quickly heat the water, providing you instant hot water as you need it.

Tankless water heaters have a lifespan of up to 20 years, which is longer than traditional water heaters. They are also much more energy efficient and take up less space. With a tankless water heater, you can claim back the space that traditional water heaters usually take up in the garage, laundry room, or closet.

Drawbacks of a tankless water heater include higher upfront costs and longer installation time. However, the benefits of a longer lifespan and lower energy bill should more than offset the upfront cost.

Both tank-storage and tankless water heaters should be flushed annually. Water heaters must also be installed according to code, for your safety. And the must be vented properly with enough air to breathe.

Heartland Plumbing offers a Club Membership for only $14.95/month, which guarantees all members one professional water heater flush per year. If you have more than one tankless water heater, every additional will be flushed at a discounted rate. Annual flushing extends the life of your water heaters and reduces the chance of water heater emergencies. Additionally, Club Members get a 15% discount on all our services.

If you think your water heater may be installed incorrectly, give us a call.

You can feel confident that Heartland Plumbing is installing top quality equipment in your home. We typically install Rinnai water heaters. They come with a 12-year warranty on the heat exchanger. And if you maintain it properly, you can usually get more life out of it.
