<h2>Personalized Water Heater Installation Services</h2>
Our company offers both traditional tank and tankless options for water heater installation. Tank models are generally simpler and cheaper to install. On-demand water heaters can save you money over the life of the equipment. They also provide you with a virtually endless hot water supply when sized appropriately.
Another important consideration is whether you want an electric or fuel-burning system. You can stick with what you currently have, but we perform conversions as well. Typically, electric water heaters are cheaper initially, and gas water heaters save you money long term. An exception to this rule is a heat pump water heater. They’re a type of electric tank water heater that outperforms even tankless models in energy efficiency.
<h2>What Size Water Heater Do You Need?</h2>
Once you’ve made those decisions, our water heater installer will determine the ideal size. A household’s needs can change over the years. It depends on the size of the home, but also the number of people and water-using appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines.
For traditional water heaters, the typical household needs a 40- to 50-gallon tank. There are small units that are ideal for couples and individuals. We also install much larger tanks for big families. Manufacturers make tank water heaters in a wide range of form factors as well. Water heaters for garages, for instance, are often tall and thin to save usable storage space.
With tankless models, we size them based on flow rate. Every fixture and appliance in your home requires a certain flow rate. The flow rate of your system must meet or exceed your household’s peak demand. Our installer will also account for the temperature rise. That’s the difference between the temperature of your groundwater and the desired temperature of your hot water.
If you’re opting for a gas water heater, we recommend considering a condensing model. There are both condensing tank and tankless water heaters. Traditional gas water heaters lose heat energy through the process of ventilating toxic gases. Condensing models significantly reduce that loss through the use of a second heat exchanger. Some models also have modulating burners for even better fuel performance.
