Having trouble with your water heater?

A water heater is an important feature in any home. It ensures that your water is the right temperature for bathing and other household activities. If you’ve noticed that your water is too hot or too cold, or there are odd sounds coming from your water heater, it may be time to consult a professional.

All of these are warning signs that maintenance or repair is needed in order to avoid additional damage to the unit or your home.

Water Heater Installation

When it’s time to replace your water heater, you’ll have a number of types to choose from. Here are the most popular:

Traditional tank storage water heater

Typically the most affordable and commonly used water heater, this type has a tank where water is heated and held until it is used. If you need more water than what is in the tank, you may end up using it all and have to wait until more hot water is replenished.

Tankless Water Heater

This type of heater is much more efficient, so many homeowners are switching to tankless water heaters. Instead of storing water, the heater heats up water upon demand as it passes through the unit, supplying a never-ending amount of hot water. If you are in Indianapolis and surrounding areas, contact us to help with tankless water heater installation so that you have a system that meets your family’s needs.

Heat Pump Water Heater

This device uses heat in the air to warm the water, so it's more energy-efficient than electric or gas water heaters. Though it uses much less electricity than other heater types, it can be expensive and does not work well in cold basements or chilly climates. The heat pump water heaters work best in warm climates or locations where the surrounding air temperature is moderate. However, it’s also worth noting that many energy companies offer rebates to help offset the cost of installing a heat pump water heater.

Solar power water heater

This device utilizes solar power for heating water. They can save on energy costs and are more environmentally friendly, but of course, can be expensive. The Federal Government even offers tax credits for installing solar water heaters as an incentive.

If you’re considering a new water heater installation, it’s essential to have a professional plumber assess your home’s water usage and size requirements to recommend the best type of water heater. Proper installation is crucial for long-term reliability, whether you’re keeping a traditional tank or upgrading to a tankless or solar system. At Justin Dorsey Plumbing, we offer professional water heater installations throughout Indianapolis so you get a system that is just right for your needs.
