Selecting A Replacement Hot Water Heater

Selecting A Replacement Hot Water Heater


by Carol Richardson


To continue having access to hot water, replace your water heater once it stops operating smoothly. You can look at different types of unit out in the market to know which heater will suit your hot water needs. Ensure proper installation by hiring a specialist to avoid voiding your unit's warranty.

Shut down the circuit breaker or the gas supply valve before carrying out repairs. This is important since dealing with water heaters can be dangerous if not handled properly. Prevent water from entering the tank by closing the cold water supply valve beforehand.

Tankless water heaters are now taking the scene since these units don't consume much energy and last longer than traditional tank-style heaters. These units only heat water when necessary without having to insulate water at all times. Tankless units are usually gas-fired with electronic ignition and power exhaust.

Storage tanks are the most common type of heaters available in the market. These units store hot water in the tank and keep it insulated any time of the day. Storage tanks can either be powered by electricity, gas or oil. However, these units are much prone to corrode due to the sediments that accumulate inside the tank. Proper care and maintenance are needed to keep the unit running smoothly.

There are solar water heaters out in the market that help homeowners cut back on their electric bill. These heating systems come with pumps and controls that move heated water to the storage tank. It is said the solar heaters can supply up to 50 percent of the energy needed to heat water.

On the other hand, heat pump water heaters use electricity that heats water from the surrounding air to be transferred to an enclosed tank. Do not hesitate to ask your local specialist before buying a heat pump heater to avoid inconvenience.

To have more time to look for different types of heating systems, consider buying a replacement right before your heater completely breaks down. Avoid encountering water heater issues in the future by not buying a unit haphazardly.

Once you think your heater is reaching the end of its lifespan, consider looking for a new unit that will suit your hot water needs. Always have it installed by a professional to avoid violating water heater city codes.
