Water Heater Installation and Repair in Perry Hall, MD
Water heaters are the second largest expense of a homeowner. They need to be properly cared for and maintained to ensure your hard-earned money is not going to waste and you are getting the most for your buck. Depending on your needs, you can invest in one of many types of water heaters.
Types of water heaters include:
- Storage water heaters are the most common type of water heater and have a low purchase price.
- Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, can heat water instantly in abundance.
- Solar water heaters are more efficient than gas and electric water heaters and may last as long as 20 years.
- Hybrid or heat pump water heaters are solutions that may help you save money by using 60% less electricity than other options.
Water heaters vary in the type of fuel they use. This could be electric, natural gas, and propane. Choosing the right kind of water heater for you takes into consideration efficiency, cost and size. Additionally, considering possible effects on the environment can help you conserve energy and manage your water heater usage in a way that is eco-friendly.
Water Heater Maintenance
No matter what kind of water heater you have, you will need to maintain it as you would anything else. Storage water heaters require that you flush the water heater and adjust the temperature every three months, and frequently replace the anode rods. Flushing your water heater will reduce chances of buildup and clogged water lines. A solar water heater requires maintenance by a solar contractor every three to five years.
Even if you invest in the periodic maintenance of your water heater, it can still be affected by usage and needed repairs. Water heaters have a life expectancy ranging from 10 to 20 years. Eventually, you will need a new one. Or, you may find one that is more cost effective for you and your needs and choose to replace one sooner rather than later. So, where do you go for all of your water heater installations and repairs? Easy: Ace Plumbing.
