Mr. Rooter’s Ronkonkoma Water Heater Installation Services

Have you seen the signs that your current system is failing fast? Even with routine water heater repair services, your unit won't last forever. Most systems only last eight to ten years before they start developing problems you can't fix with repairs. Once that happens, water heater installation becomes much more cost-effective than trying to keep a failing unit running with frequent, costly appointments for plumbing repair in Ronkonkoma.

Of course, if your home doesn't already have a heating system, that's the most obvious reason to book an appointment for service. However, if you do already have a unit, as is the case with most homes in Suffolk County, Nassau County, and surrounding areas, then there are several warning signs that you should know about. If you notice any of those signs in your system, you could be overdue for professional water heater installation.

Ronkonkoma, NY technicians at Mr. Rooter offer the following:

Safe Installation

All types of water heaters are complicated systems that require service from trained, licensed professionals. Improper installation could result in serious damage to your home and harm to the people living inside it. With our trusted Ronkonkoma water heater installers, you will get the peace of mind of knowing that your new system is installed correctly and won't immediately fail or break.

Our professional plumbers have plenty of experience and training with water heater installation. They know all the correct processes and procedures and know how to avoid all the mistakes that occur during amateur installation. All that knowledge ensures that they complete the job correctly, but it also helps them get the job done faster. Attempting your own water heater installation in Ronkonkoma, NY or hiring an amateur—will take much longer than installation completed by an experienced professional plumber.

Correct Sizing, Installation Requirement Compliance, and Warranty Compliance

There are specific requirements for Ronkonkoma water heater installation that must be followed. In addition to those local restrictions, manufacturer warranties often require professional installation as well. When you hire a licensed plumber, you can rest easy knowing that they meet all those requirements—and that your warranty has not been voided.

Getting service from licensed professionals will also ensure that you choose a unit that's the right size for your home. The size of a water heater refers to the tank capacity for traditional equipment and gallons heated per minute for tankless heaters. Each home in Suffolk County and Nassau County has different size requirements based on the number of people living inside and the size of the home in general. Some homes even benefit from having multiple units. When you choose us for Ronkonkoma water heater installation, we'll help you select the perfect system for meeting your needs.

Ronkonkoma Water Heater Installation FAQs:

My Conventional Unit Is Over a Decade Old? Do I Need A Replacement?

If your existing water heater installation in Ronkonkoma, NY has been around since well before you moved to your current Ronkonkoma home, or you can't remember when you had it installed, that's a good sign that it may be time to call a professional. While tankless systems typically last longer than a decade, conventional units with a tank should generally be replaced around the ten-year mark.

While your unit may last longer than ten years, eventually, that older equipment will fail—and the cost of keeping it running could be much higher than the cost of replacing it. Those higher costs don't just come from frequent repairs either. New equipment with a higher energy efficiency rating will cost less to power and run throughout the day than an old, less efficient system with worn components. That means keeping your old system longer than ten years could still cost you more—even if it seems to be running well.

Do I Need A New Ronkonkoma Water Heater Installation If the Heating Process Takes Too Long?

If you find yourself wondering whether your current system should take as long as it does to work, or it fails to work at all, then it could be time to replace it. The exact time that it takes to get what you need will vary based on the type of equipment you have, but if it starts to take longer than it did before, that's a sign that it's time to make an appointment for replacement and installation.

Of course, if it fails to work at all, then you'll definitely need an appointment with a Ronkonkoma plumber. That problem could be caused by a repairable issue like a failing heating element, but it could also be a sign that you need to replace your older unit.

Help! My Water Tank Is Leaking, What Do I Do?

A leak is never a good sign. It's possible for leaks to develop in multiple areas near a conventional unit or tankless unit. If you see leaks near the areas where pipes connect or near valves like your pressure relief or drain valve, the issue may lie with those specific connections. However, it's also possible that the inner tank is damaged. If that's the case, replacement is the only option.

Leaks that come from the bottom of traditional water heaters are a serious sign that the inner tank has been damaged too. Likewise, any major damage to the sides or top of the tank is also irreparable. When it comes to tank damage and leaks, the most cost-effective solution is almost always a replacement water heater.

Additional Warning Signs:

• Frequent repairs
• Hot water discoloration
• Strange noises
• Unusual odors and tastes
• Lower temperature levels

Should I Get a Traditional or Tankless Water Heater Installation?

Ronkonkoma, NY homeowners who consider making the switch from a traditional unit to a tankless water heater need to evaluate some pros and cons. Many people in Suffolk County and Nassau County are initially wary because of the higher installation costs of tankless systems—but, over time, the lower operating costs will outweigh those higher prices.

Both types of hot water heaters have benefits and drawbacks. Tankless systems generally last much longer, require less maintenance, and cost less to operate—although your operating costs will also depend on your fuel source. Traditional systems may not be quite as energy efficient, but they also do a much better job of supplying what you need right when you need it.

Having a constantly heated tank means that you always have access to what you need—as opposed to how tankless systems only supply hot water on demand. Unfortunately, that tank could still run out—or leak—causing additional problems that don't come with tankless units. The decision between tank and tankless truly comes down to your individual needs, preferences, and energy-saving goals.

Do I Choose A Gas or Electric Water Heater Installation?

Ronkonkoma, NY plumbers get this question a lot! Choosing a fuel source relates to two key factors: efficiency and energy cost. In general, an electric heater is more energy efficient than a gas water heater, whether tankless or not. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that an electric heater will cost less to operate.

Natural gas is generally cheaper than electricity, but the systems that use natural gas have waste that results from their lower efficiency, meaning that they don't actually make effective use of all the gas they require. Simply put, if your primary concern is efficiency, you may want an electric unit. However, if you're more concerned with baseline energy costs than overall efficiency, you may want a gas-powered unit.

Can I Complete the Installation Process Myself?

Technically, you can complete your own installation if you have the right tools, skills, training, and permits. An installation completed without those requirements could result in building code violations, a warranty void, costly property damage, and even carbon monoxide poisoning from improperly ventilated gas water heaters. For all those reasons, it's much better to get installation from a licensed, knowledgeable plumber.

How Much Does Ronkonkoma Water Heater Installation Cost?

Your costs will depend on many factors, such as the size of your Ronkonkoma property, the condition, and size of its existing plumbing connections, your electrical system—in the case of electric units—and ultimately the particular unit you choose to install.

While it's not possible to provide an estimate without first inspecting your home and speaking to you directly, our Ronkonkoma plumbers will always provide an upfront, accurate quote before installation begins. This way, you know exactly what your specific installation costs will be.
