Residential and Commercial Water Heater Experts

Hot water is essential to any good home or business, and Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Winston Salem will ensure that your hot water is up to temperature.

Hot water is essential for safety and hygiene at home and in the workplace. It provides sanitation for hands, dishes, and utensils and is a legal requirement for workplaces in the medical industry or food service. If your water heater is out, you may be at risk for spreading illness and bacteria.

Hot water provides comfort and relaxation in homes, beauty parlors, and spas. In colder months, using cold water only for bathing and showering can be particularly unhealthy. Most homes and businesses rely on easy access to hot water year-round.

Hot water is also a necessity for many appliances. Dishwashers, washing machines, and many workplace appliances require hot water to operate correctly. By caring for your hot water heater, we can help ensure your appliances run safely and function well.

Repair and Service Specialists

Have you noticed an inconsistency in your hot water? If your water is not consistently reaching and maintaining your set temperature, your water heater may need repair. Sometimes, inconsistent temperatures accompany other signs of disrepair, such as strange noises. You may also notice that the tank runs out of water quicker than usual. These are all indications of a problem with your hot water heater.

If you let it remain inconsistent, worse problems will develop. Hot water heaters can fill with sediment over time, and issues with heat and pressure can also cause leaks, which can flood the area and damage your home or workplace. If you notice any irregularities with your hot water heater, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing for help and get your hot water flowing again.

Installation and Replacement Team

If your hot water heater has significant issues, consider replacing it. Here are a few guidelines to help you decide if it is time for a new hot water heater.

If your hot water is 10-12 years old, it is likely time to replace it. The repairs required after that long add up quickly, and it will become a less cost-effective unit.
Minor issues are usually repairable quickly and inexpensively. For example, we can easily fix broken valves on hot water heaters. However, it is best to consider repairing the unit if you have more extensive damage, such as leaks or too much built-up corrosion.
In general, if the repair costs exceed 50% of the price of a new hot water heater, replacing the broken unit is wiser than repairing it. Mr. Rooter can assist you in determining the best course of action with your hot water heater. Our prices are always upfront, so you have all the information you need to make the best decision for your hot water needs.

Traditional Tank vs. Tankless Water Heaters

Water heaters are essential for any property, whether residential or commercial, from providing hot water for showers to washing dishes. There are two main types of water heaters: tank and tankless. Each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

Tank Water Heaters

Pros:

Lower Initial Cost: Traditional tank water heaters generally cost less to purchase and install compared to tankless water heaters.
Simplicity and Reliability: Their straightforward design, which has been used for decades, makes them relatively easy to install and maintain.
Immediate Hot Water Reserve: Tank water heaters store a large volume of hot water ready for immediate use, which can be convenient for households with high simultaneous hot water needs.

Cons:

Higher Utility Bills: Tank water heaters continuously heat water to maintain the temperature in the tank, leading to higher energy consumption and utility bills, especially during periods of non-use.
Bulkier Size: Due to the large tank, they require more space, which can be an issue in smaller homes or apartments.
Limited Hot Water Supply: Once the hot water stored in the tank is used up, it can take time to heat a new tankful of water, which can be inconvenient during high demand.

Tankless Water Heaters

Pros:

Energy Efficiency: Tankless water heaters heat water on demand rather than storing heated water, leading to less energy waste and lower energy bills.
Continuous Hot Water: They can provide a continuous supply of hot water, which is ideal for families or situations where hot water is needed for extended periods.
Space Saving: Tankless water heaters are much smaller and can be mounted on a wall, saving valuable floor space in your home.

Cons:

Higher Initial Cost: The upfront cost of purchasing and installing a tankless water heater is typically higher than that of a traditional tank water heater.
Complex Installation and Maintenance: They may require additional setups, such as upgrading gas lines and ventilation, and maintenance can be more complex and costly.
Inconsistent Water Temperature: In some cases, tankless water heaters can struggle to supply consistent hot water, especially when multiple outlets are used simultaneously.

Choosing between a tank and tankless water heater will depend on your property's specific needs, budget, and space constraints.
