Tank Water Heater Installation and Replacement: How to Choose the Right Unit for Your Home

Whether you’re building a new home or replacing an old water heater, professional installation is key to ensuring a safe, reliable, and efficient hot water supply. At Drain Charmer Plumbing and Rooter, Inc., our experienced team specializes in expert water heater installation, handling both gas and electric units with precision and care. We prioritize safety during every installation, making sure all gas, electric, and water components meet stringent safety standards. Choosing our expert plumbers in Norwalk, CA ensures your water heater is installed to last, giving you years of worry-free hot water. Here are some tips to help you choose the right water heater for your home:

Tip 1: Determine the Right Capacity
Consider the size of your household and your daily hot water needs. Tank water heaters come in various sizes, from 30 to 80 gallons. A larger household with high water usage will need a unit with a higher capacity to ensure everyone has access to hot water when needed.

Tip 2: Choose Between Gas or Electric
Decide whether a gas or electric water heater is best for your home. Gas water heaters are typically more energy-efficient for larger households, while electric models may be a better option for smaller homes or areas without gas access. Our team can help you determine which is right for you.

Tip 3: Consider Energy Efficiency Ratings
Look for energy-efficient models that can help lower your utility bills. Many water heaters come with an Energy Factor (EF) rating that indicates how efficiently the unit uses energy. Higher ratings mean better efficiency and long-term savings.

Tip 4: Evaluate Your Budget
Tank water heaters vary in cost depending on size, brand, and features. Set a budget that balances upfront costs with long-term benefits, such as energy savings and reliability. Our technicians can recommend units that offer the best value for your money.

Tip 5: Plan for Maintenance and Longevity
Consider the lifespan and maintenance needs of the water heater. Some units require regular servicing to maintain efficiency, while others come with longer warranties. We can guide you toward a model that aligns with your long-term goals and maintenance preferences.

  • No Hot Water: If your water heater isn’t producing any hot water, it could be due to a failed heating element, thermostat issue, or a gas pilot light that’s gone out. Our technicians will pinpoint the cause and perform the necessary repairs to get your hot water flowing again.
  • Inconsistent Water Temperature: If your water temperature fluctuates, it could be caused by a faulty thermostat or sediment buildup inside the tank. These issues can be resolved with professional cleaning or replacement of damaged components.
  • Low Water Pressure: Low water pressure from your hot water taps may result from sediment buildup or corrosion inside the tank or pipes. Our team can flush your system or replace damaged fittings to restore proper pressure.
  • Rust-Colored or Discolored Water: Rusty or cloudy water indicates corrosion in your tank or pipes. This issue can often be resolved with a tank cleaning or anode rod replacement. If corrosion is severe, a replacement may be necessary.
