Signs You Need a Water Heater Replacement

Not sure if it’s time to replace your hot water heater? Here are some common signs that indicate your system may need replacing:

Inconsistent Water Temperature

Does your hot water fluctuate between scorching and lukewarm? This inconsistency could mean your hot water heater is failing to meet your household’s demands.

Frequent Repairs

If you’re constantly calling for hot water heater repairs, it may be more cost-effective to invest in a replacement.

Age of the Water Heater

Most hot water heaters last 8-12 years. If your unit is older, replacing it with a modern, energy-efficient model can save you money in the long run.

Discoloured or Rusty Water

Rusty water is often a sign of corrosion inside the tank, which can lead to leaks and reduced performance.

Leaking Tank

A leaking hot water heater tank is a clear indication that it’s time for a replacement.

High Energy Bills

Older hot water heaters are less energy-efficient, leading to increased utility bills. Upgrading to an energy-efficient model can lower your monthly costs.

Types of Water Heaters We Replace and Install

Tank Water Heaters

Traditional tank water heaters, also known as hot water tanks, are a popular choice for many Ottawa homeowners. These systems store a set amount of hot water and are available in various sizes to fit your household’s needs.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, provide hot water only when needed, offering significant energy savings. They’re compact, efficient, and perfect for modern homes.

Hybrid Water Heaters

Hybrid water heaters combine the benefits of tank and tankless systems, using heat pump technology to improve energy efficiency.

Gas and Electric Water Heaters

We offer both gas and electric water heaters, helping you choose the best option based on your energy preferences and availability.

Choosing the Right Water Heater

Factors to Consider

Selecting the right water heater is crucial for ensuring a consistent supply of hot water and optimizing energy efficiency. Here are some key factors to consider:

Fuel Type

Decide between natural gas, propane, or electricity. Each fuel type has its advantages. Natural gas water heaters are typically more energy-efficient and cost-effective, while electric water heaters are easier to install and maintain.

Water Capacity

Assess your household’s hot water needs. Larger families may require a bigger hot water tank or a tankless water heater system to ensure a steady supply of hot water.

Energy Efficiency

Look for energy-efficient water heaters with high Energy Star ratings. An energy-efficient water heater can help you save money on your energy bills and reduce your environmental impact.

Space Constraints

Consider the available space for installation. Tankless water heaters are compact and can be installed in smaller spaces, while traditional tank water heaters require more room.

Budget

Determine your budget for the water heater and installation costs. While tankless water heaters may have a higher upfront cost, they offer long-term savings on energy bills.

By considering these factors, you can choose a water heater that meets your needs and provides reliable hot water for years to come.

Water Heater Maintenance and Repair

Regular maintenance is essential to extend the lifespan of your water heater and prevent costly repairs. Here are some tips to keep your water heater running efficiently:

  • Check the Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve: Ensure it’s functioning properly to prevent overheating and pressure buildup, which can cause damage to the water heater.
  • Inspect the Anode Rod: The anode rod helps prevent corrosion inside the tank. Replace it every 3-5 years to extend the lifespan of your water heater.
  • Drain the Tank: Regularly drain the tank to remove sediment and debris that can accumulate over time and cause damage to the water heater.
  • Check for Leaks: Inspect the water heater and pipes for signs of leaks or water damage. Addressing leaks promptly can prevent more significant issues down the line.

By performing regular maintenance, you can prevent common issues and ensure your water heater runs efficiently and safely.
