How Do I Know If I Need Water Heater Replacement?
While most hot water heaters can last between 11-20 years, eventually you will need hot water heater replacement. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Greater Baltimore, we will never recommend a customer purchase a product or service they don’t need, so we will do a full evaluation of your hot water heater to determine how to proceed. If we determine it would be more cost-effective to install a new water heater, we will let you know. We consider several factors when considering whether you need water heater repair or water heater replacement:
- Your hot water heater is over 15 years old
- Your water heater has undergone frequent repairs
- Your water heater has never gotten routine maintenance
- Your household’s hot water needs have changed
- Your tap water has a metallic smell or taste
- The water looks cloudy, sandy, or rusty
- Your water heating bill has increased but you still aren’t getting enough hot water
New Water Heater Installation
When installing a new water heater, you can choose from a conventional water heater, a tankless water heater, or a hybrid water heater. We install these common types of home hot water heaters:
- Conventional Water Heater - A conventional hot water heater stores hot water in a large tank until you’re ready to use it. Conventional water heaters can use electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, or propane as fuel. An energy-efficient water heater can lower your water heating costs by as much as 7%.
- Tankless Water Heater - A tankless water heater, or on-demand water heater, heats water as it passes through the unit, using a heat exchanger to bring water up to temperature almost instantaneously. Tankless water heaters can use electricity, natural gas, or propane as fuel. A tankless water heater can reduce the cost of heating water by up to 30%.
- Hybrid Water Heater - A hybrid water heater uses a holding tank like a conventional water heater, but it also uses a heat pump to capture warm air and transmits it to the water. It operates like a refrigerator in reverse. A hybrid water heater can lower your water heating costs by up to 60%.
