Water Heater Installation

There’s nothing more stressful than realizing that your water heater has died.

Benefits Of Water Heater Installation

There are many advantages of using a tankless water heater over a traditional one. Using a tankless system instead of a traditional one reduces energy waste, removes issues with leaking and clogging, and ensures that water temperature is where it should be. It’s a great way to have on-demand hot water while reducing costs and saving energy.

Lower Water Icon

Lower Water Energy Bills

You only heat water as necessary instead of continually heating the water in your tank. This reduces energy waste and keeps your bills low.

Maintenance Icon

Reduced Maintance

Traditional water heaters have the potential for multiple issues, including getting clogged with sediment that reduces energy efficiency and increases the probability of leaks.

Risk Icon

Fewer Risks

Water and heat are brought through the system only when they are ready to be used. This prevents water contamination and helps ensure the water is free and clear.

Space Icon

Less Space

This is a considerable benefit as water heaters with tanks can be massive and use precious space in a home or garage. Using a tankless system, you won't have to worry about that.

If you’re currently wondering whether or not it’s time to get a new water heater, let’s discuss some signs that it’s time.

  • Noises- If your water heater makes strange noises, such as pops, bangs, or rumbling noises, you might need to install a new one.
  • No Hot Water – If your water heater has difficulty producing hot water, it isn’t functioning correctly, so you must replace it.
  • Leaks – If you’re experiencing leaks with your current water heater, it probably isn’t functional, and it’s time to find a new one.
  • Water Too Hot – Another thing you might not expect signals a faulty water heater is overly hot water. If your water heater is abnormally hot, there’s likely something wrong with your water heater.
  • Rust – If you notice that your tank is starting to rust or sediment is building up on the tank, those are more signs that it’s time to install a new water heater.
  • Age – Water heater replacement is likely needed if your unit needs repairs often or is over 10 years old.

If you’re unsure if you need a new water heater installed, call Water Heater Wiz.

Tankless Water Heater Installation

Installing a tankless water heater is a great way to save energy and money. Tankless water heaters are more efficient than traditional tank-style models because they only heat and deliver hot water when it’s needed. This means you won’t be wasting energy by keeping a large amount of hot water stored in a tank all the time. To get the most benefit from your tankless water heater, it’s important to install it correctly. Here are the steps for tankless water heater installation:

1. Locate the best spot for your tankless water heater. To make sure your unit is as efficient as possible, you’ll need to install it in a location that has good access to natural gas or propane and an adequate supply of cold water. If you’re using an electric tankless water heater, you’ll need to make sure it’s close to an electrical outlet.

2. Install the necessary components for your water heater. This will depend on the type of unit you’re installing, so read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. You might need to install a gas line, venting system, or a dedicated circuit for an electric model.

3. Connect your water heater to the cold water supply. This typically involves adding a shut-off valve and connecting the cold water line to the inlet on your tankless unit.

4. Connect the hot water outlet of the tankless water heater to your plumbing system. If you’re replacing an existing tank-style model, you’ll need to disconnect it first and then connect the new tankless unit to the existing hot water piping.

5. Turn on the power or gas to your tankless water heater and adjust the temperature setting as needed. It’s important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for adjusting the temperature setting, as this will help ensure you get the most efficient performance from your unit.

6. Test your tankless water heater by running some hot water through it. Make sure everything is working properly and that the water is hot enough.

While installing a tankless water heater may seem like a piece of cake, it’s always best to let a professional handle the job to ensure all safety measures are taken, and the water heater is installed properly.

Water Heater Installation Cost

When it comes time to invest in a new water heater, it can be anxiety-inducing because water heaters can get expensive. However, you might not realize that maintaining an old water heater can also cost a lot of money. If you currently have a water heater that isn’t working as it should be, purchasing a new one might actually save you money in the long run.

The price of a new water heater will vary greatly depending on your lifestyle and your budget. With the many types of water heaters available, there are plenty of options to find one that works for you. It’s important to purchase your new water heater from a reputable source because if you don’t, there’s always the chance of receiving a faulty product that will cause you more over time.

Water Heater Installation Code Requirements

When installing a new water heater, it’s vital that you stay safe and in alignment with all of the rules and regulations set in your area. For example, you can’t install a water heater in some counties in an enclosed space. You want to avoid running into any problems with codes and regulations that you’re unaware of because you can put your insurance at risk.

You might think that you’ve successfully fixed your water heater or installed a new one correctly, but mistakes will often appear days later when you realize you have a leak. Even worse, if you install your water heater incorrectly, you might run into a water heater explosion.

While water heater explosions are rare, they can occur if the pressure relief valve is not correctly set up. Water heater explosions can be deadly, so you want to avoid them a all costs.
