Water Heaters
As with most of your appliances, your water heater is used every day and regular usage means you’ll eventually need a new one. The typical lifespan for a hot water heater is 8-12 years so you can expect to deal with water heater replacement once a decade or so. Keep in mind, you can protect your investment with regular maintenance. Professional maintenance checks and upkeep can help your water heater last as long as possible.
If you notice rust or corrosion around the water heater, cold or lukewarm water in your home, or water pooling around the appliance itself, you may need a new water heater.
We install and service all conventional gas or electric water heaters, as well as tankless (on demand) systems. We can provide and install a new heater or install one that you supply.
Conventional Water Heaters
On average, a conventional water heater is expected to last around 11 years, but its lifespan can be reduced by hard water. However, with regular maintenance, the life of a conventional water heater can be extended.
When choosing a conventional water heater for your Florida home, it’s important to consider factors such as your hot water needs, energy efficiency, and installation requirements. You may also want to consider a tankless water heater, which heats water on demand and can be more energy-efficient than conventional models.
Tankless Water Heater Systems
Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters or instantaneous water heaters, are a popular alternative to conventional storage tank water heaters. They work by heating water as it passes through the unit, rather than storing a large amount of hot water in a tank.
Tankless water heaters can be powered by electricity, natural gas, or propane, and are available in a variety of sizes to meet the hot water needs of different households. They are often more energy-efficient than conventional water heaters, as they only heat water when it is needed, rather than constantly maintaining a large tank of hot water. This can result in significant energy savings over time.
In addition to energy savings, tankless water heaters offer other benefits as well. They are typically smaller and more compact than storage tank water heaters, which can save space in your home. They also have a longer lifespan than storage tank water heaters, as they are less prone to rust and corrosion.
Conclusion
It’s also important to note that Florida has strict building codes related to the installation of water heaters, which are designed to ensure that they are installed safely and in compliance with local regulations. It’s a good idea to work with a licensed and experienced plumber or contractor when installing a new water heater in your Florida home.
