Home Water Heater Repair & Replacement in Albany, NY

Is It Better to Repair or Replace My Water Heater?

There are times when it might be more cost-effective to replace your hot water heater, rather than repair it. We will never recommend a product or service you don’t need, and we won’t suggest installing a new water heater in your home if your old water heater still has life left in it. In general, water heaters can last between 11-20 years before you need to completely replace them. However, certain factors affect the lifespan of your water heater, including:

• Where and how it was installed
• Whether it was installed properly
• Whether it has been carefully maintained over the years
• The make, model, and manufacturer
• The energy efficiency of the model
• Changes to the size of your household

Choosing the Right Hot Water Heater for Your Home

If we determine that you need a new water heater installation, we can help you choose the best new water heater for your home’s needs. We’ll walk you through some factors you should consider, including:

• Your household size
• The availability and cost of water heating fuel like electricity, natural gas, propane, and solar energy
• The daily volume of hot water you’ll need
• How important energy-efficiency and eco-conscious water heaters are to you
• Your budget
• The location where the water heater will be installed

We can make sure that your new hot water heater conforms to all federally mandated energy efficiency standards, so you can get the most out of your water heater while lowering your energy bills and carbon footprint.

Our Water Heater Installation

We can install any make, model, and manufacturer of home hot water heaters. We specialize in installing these types of residential hot water heaters:

• Conventional - A conventional hot water heater stores water in a tank and heats it with electricity or natural gas. If you install a high-efficiency hot water heater, your water heating bills can decrease by as much as 7%.
• Tankless - A tankless water heater only heats water when it is needed, so you have immediate and unlimited hot water on demand. Installing a tankless water heater in your home can save you up to 30% on your home’s water heating costs.
• Hybrid - A hybrid hot water heater is a combination of a conventional water heater tank with a heat pump. It uses existing electrical and water connections. Installing a hybrid water heater in your home can reduce the costs of heating water by up to 60%.
