What To Consider With Water Heater Installation
If you’re in the market for a new water heater, there are a few factors to take into consideration, including:
- How Much Hot Water You Need: The number of people residing at your home and using your water will impact your hot water needs. Additionally, you should consider the number of appliances you have that require hot water, such as a washing machine or a dishwasher. This information will guide you to the right type and size of water heater.
- What Kind of Water Heater You Want: When it comes to water heaters, you have a choice between tankless water heaters and traditional tank water heaters. At Pioneer, our team can install either in your home with ease. Both tankless and traditional water heaters have their own subtypes and models with different features, such as gas-burning vs. electricity for fuel.
- Desired Amount of Energy Efficiency: Do you prioritize reducing your energy consumption and paying less for your monthly energy bills? In that case, you may be drawn to tankless water heaters instead of traditional tank water heaters. We can help you choose the right type and model to enhance your energy efficiency.
- What Type of Fuel Will Be Used: Since water heaters can be fueled by electricity, gas, propane, and sometimes solar energy, deciding which fuel source you want to rely on is a main consideration. Our team will guide you through this choice for water heater installation in Knoxville, TN.
- How Much Space You Have To Store Your Heater: If you’re choosing a tank water heater, you’ll have to make sure you have enough space in your home to store it due to their large size. Even within traditional water heaters, your water tank can vary between 40 and 60 gallons. Smaller homes and condos may be better suited for a tankless water heater, which takes up much less space.
How To Tell You Need Water Heater Replacement
Owning a water heater includes realizing when it’s time to get it replaced. When, inevitably, you need water heater replacement, our team at Pioneer can help. Read on to learn when you should contact our team to replace your water heater.
Water Temperature Fluctuates
When you’re running your water and the water temperature keeps changing when you haven’t turned the dial, that could be a sign of failing heating elements. When heating elements fail, water heater replacement may be the best option.
Frequent Repairs Needed
Occasional water heater repairs are nothing to worry about, however it’s concerning if you’re needing water repairs frequently. Financially, these repairs can add up and cause your wallet to take a hit. It makes sense at that point to invest in replacing your water heater entirely.
Water Pressure Is Low
Your water heater may have a blockage if your water pressure drops suddenly. Severe blockages may be difficult or impossible to fix, leading to the need for new water heater installation in Knoxville, TN.
Energy Bills Increase
Spiking energy bills when you’re not using more hot water than you normally do can mean your water heater has lost efficiency. Since getting efficiency back can be tricky through repairs, we’ll often recommend replacement under these circumstances.
Strange Sounds Emitted
Popping, snapping, or rumbling indicate the build up of sediment or minerals within your water heater. This is more likely if you have hard water. To help combat hard water and avoid this outcome, you’ll want to invest in a water softener. If it’s too late, our team can replace your water heater when it’s needed.
Water Is Discolored
The color of water coming out of your taps should be clear. Reddish, brownish, or cloudy water means you might have a corroding water tank. If corrosion isn’t addressed, your water tank may end up leaking and causing expensive water damage. A corroded water heater should be replaced as soon as possible.
Heater Is 15-20 Years Old
A traditional tank water heater is expected to last between 10 and 15 years old, whereas a tankless water heater has a projected lifespan of up to 20 years. When your water heater reaches the end of its lifespan, you may be best served by opting for a water heater replacement.
