Your Water Heater Options

Which water heater works best for your household? That’s what our Havertown, PA professional plumbers are here to help you decide. There are a number of factors to consider. For instance, for those homeowners who have access to a gas line, a gas water heater may make more sense than an electric water heater due to its cost effectiveness. Once you decide between a gas water heater and an electric water heater, there are still more choices to make. Each type of water heater has its pros and cons, and it’s compatibility to your home will depend on how big your household is. We can help you make an informed decision.

  • Tank Water Heaters: The tank model hot water heater is still the most common found in homes nationwide, and for good reason. They provide homes with plenty of hot water, plus today’s models are increasingly energy efficient. They do, however, experience standby energy loss as some heat transfers to the air surrounding the tank.
  • Tankless Water Heaters: These systems are gaining momentum as viable alternatives to the storage tank water heater. They heat water “on-demand” rather than storing it, eliminating standby energy loss. This makes them very efficient, but that doesn’t mean they’re the best choice for all homes.
  • Heat Pump Water Heaters: Just like a heat pump system to heat and cool the air in your home, a heat pump water heater utilizes electrical power to absorb thermal energy from the air outside, and uses that energy to raise the temperature of the water. It doesn’t burn a fuel source to create heat, but rather transfers heat from one area to another. These systems are highly energy efficient and becoming an increasingly popular choice.

No two homes or families are exactly alike. While a tankless or heat pump water heater may be a great choice for one household, yours may benefit more from a storage tank model. Our plumbers are quite skilled at water heater replacements and knowledgeable about your options—reach out to learn more!

Does Your Water Heater Need Service?

Storage tank water heaters are typically the most susceptible to wear and tear, due to the constant contact between metal and water. They need yearly maintenance and care to ensure they don’t start corroding and causing quality issues for your drinking and bathing water.

Tankless and heat pump water heaters aren’t immune to problems either. If you notice any signs of malfunction, such as a rattling noise that can indicate the buildup of sediment such as hard water minerals, the best thing you can do is give our team of expert service professionals a call.
