Big B's Plumbing Is Your Vista Water Heater Repair And Installation Company
Most homeowners show very little love to their water heaters, even though their water heater just keeps on giving year after year. If we're lucky we will get 15 years out of them, but in most cases, ten years without much maintenance. It isn't until something goes wrong with them that we realize how much they impact our lives. We depend on it for all our dishwashing, clothes washing, and bathing, just to name a few. When the water heater goes out, we generally run down to our local home improvement store and get advice from a person that knows water heaters. What ends up happening is we buy the cheapest one there and call someone to install it. Think about this for a minute: Your water heater will be with you for the next 10 to 15 years, why not take the few extra minutes to research your purchase and call your plumbing expert?
Why Not Repair Your Hot Water Heater?
Another thing to keep in mind is that most water heaters that are under ten years old don’t need replacing. Most plumbing companies have one thing in mind, and that's to sell you a new water heater. Not so at Big B's Plumbing, we want to provide our customers with options whenever possible.
Possible water heater repairs:
- Anode rods
- Pressure relief valves
- Thermocouple
- Heating elements
- Sediment in your tank
- Drain valves
- Pilot light issues
- Dip tubes
While age alone is not reason enough to replace your water heater, it is an excellent place to start. If your broken water heater has never received regular maintenance and is over ten years old, chances are you should think about replacing it over repairing it. With that said, the option is always up to the customer.
EARLY MODEL WATER HEATER USE TOO MUCH ENERGY
Another good reason for replacing an aged hot water heater is because the latest models are much more energy-efficient. Additionally, those models that have earned the Energy Star label are 8% more energy efficient over the standard models and as much as 20 to 30% over models that are 10 to 15 years old. You also have the option of a tankless water heater. A tankless water heater is also known as an on-demand water heater because it provides hot water almost instantly. They have a life expectancy of 20 years, which is much higher than a storage tank heater. They use much less space, less water, and less energy than a storage-tank hot water heater. The downside is they cost more, but the claim is that they pay for themselves in energy costs over the lifetime of the product. Most homeowners consider them an investment in their homes.
