Water Heater Installation Services

Take a look at your water heater and look for signs that tell you what type you have, such as a gas line or a massive water storage tank. If you’re not sure what type of system you have, our team is happy to help determine which system is in your home. 

When you turn on your hot water, the water needs to travel from the water heater to your faucet or shower through your pipes. This can take a minute, which is why you may have to wait for the water to heat up. 

A sizzling noise often comes from condensation during the combustion process. This is normal if your unit is newer or it’s colder outside. However, a puddle of water around your water heater is a red flag that needs professional attention. 

Drain pans are highly recommended in most situations because they can catch water in the event of a leak. This can help prevent drastic water damage throughout your home.

Installing a new water heater is the perfect time to relocate it to a new area of your home. This can help free up space and make sure the unit is carefully tucked away. 

When deciding on the size of a water heater for your home, consider factors such as your hot water usage habits, the size of your home, and the available space. 

Every home is different, and you can choose from a variety of water heaters to find the perfect one for you. Consider the size of your home, your family’s hot water usage, and how long you plan to stay in your current home. 

The Energy Factor of your water heater measures the efficiency of your system. This factor looks at the energy in the hot water used daily compared to the overall energy usage of the system. The higher the EF, the more efficient your system. 

The first-hour rating (FHR) on a water heater measures the amount of water your system can heat in one hour. It’s often measured in gallons stored in the tank as well as how well it can reheat the stored water in an hour. 

An odd smell from your water heater is often harmless and is caused by mineral buildup in the storage tank. A buildup of hydrogen, sulfur, and bacteria can create a rotten egg smell in your water, and replacing the anode rod can often resolve the issue. 

The anode rod in a traditional tank water heater attracts minerals and other deposits in the water, preventing them from corroding the tank. The rod is essentially sacrificed to maintain the overall structural integrity of the water heater.
