Customized Water Heater Installation Solutions
Installing a new water heater is an opportunity to reassess your home’s needs. The typical household requires a 40 to 55-gallon tank, but you may need a larger or smaller capacity. The main factor is how many people live in the home. Your expert installer will also adjust the estimate based on the number of bathrooms and applicable major appliances you have.
Regardless of tank size, you have the option of either an electric or fuel-burning water heater. Electric water heaters are usually cheaper to purchase and install but more expensive to run. An exception to this rule is a heat pump water heater. These models primarily heat water with a heat pump rather than traditional heating elements.
Among fuel-fired models, natural gas is the most prevalent option but requires that your property have access to a gas line. Alternatives include fuel oil and liquid propane. In both cases, you’d store the fuel in a tank on your property and get deliveries as needed.
With all fuel-burning models, you have the option of a condensing water heater. Through their flues, traditional fuel-based water heaters can lose 20% or more of the heat they generate. Condensing models have a second heat exchanger to reclaim the heat that they’d otherwise lose. We can help you find the best type based on your available fuel source and budget.
To compare one water heater to another within the same class of water heaters, use the uniform energy factor (UEF). The higher the UEF, the less energy the system uses. A high enough UEF may earn a water heater the ENERGY STAR label. That certification may allow you to claim a rebate and other energy incentives.
Another option is a new tankless model that produces hot water on demand. The initial installation is a little more expensive, but the device will save you money on monthly bills for many years.
A new water heater can be beneficial in many ways.
- Faster recovery
- Quieter operation
- Smaller carbon footprint
