Water Heater Replacement

You may not want to replace your water heater if it is still in good condition, and that is understandable. But how do you know when it’s time to invest in a new water heating system? The average water heater lasts for around 10 years.

If your water heater is nearing the 10-year mark or past that, it’s time to begin considering an upgrade. Clinging to your old tank water heater can increase the likelihood of water leaks, and reduce your family’s comfort as the water heater becomes less and less efficient.

The Differences Between Tank and Tankless Water Heaters

Monday, October 11th, 2021

Most homeowners in our area have tank water heaters. For over a century, this has been the most common way to heat the water of a home. The water gets funneled into a tank system that sits in a convenient area of your house while it heats up from an electric coil or a gas burner. Then, this water sits on standby ready for use whenever you need it. It’s safe, effective, and tank water heaters are extremely affordable.

That being said, they’re not the only way to heat your home’s water. In fact, there’s a new type of water heater that homeowners are turning to in droves. Tankless water heaters, or “on-demand” water heaters, represent a new way of thinking about water heating technology that takes energy and fuel efficiency into account.

Our team provides water heater services in Meridian, ID, and we can get you set up with either system. Keep reading to discover which water heating unit is right for your home.

What’s Going on With Your Tank Water Heater?

Monday, August 16th, 2021

Well, we’d like to start off by saying that prompt professional service is always necessary when something is wrong with your water heater. Our technicians are available at your convenience, which means we’re more than happy to fix your water heater in the coldest months of the winter. However, that might not be the most convenient time for you, as we’ll explain in this blog post.

The truth is that while hot water is important all year round, it’s less important during these hot summer months. Think about it, taking a cold shower isn’t the worst idea when temperatures are in the 90s and it’s hard to get respite from the harsh light of the sun. Or, if you’re just washing your hands, washing them with cold water in the summer is pretty nice when compared to washing your hands with cold water in the winter.

Here are a few reasons why you might call us for water heater service in Caldwell, ID.
