Electric Water Heaters

The lifespan of an electric water heater is usually between 7 and 12 years, depending on maintenance and the type of water in the area. There will come a time when you when you may have to decide between repair and replacement, and which may be more practical. Regular maintenance can help extend the life of your water heater, this includes "flushing" the tank to remove sediment that is left behind by "hard water". Water heater failure can be a serious and costly event, that can lead to severe damage to your home or business. Water heaters hold a lot of water, and many times they are located either in attics, or on the upper levels of homes and businesses, which can lead to an even more urgent situation. If you are experiencing any issues with your water heater, do not hesitate to reach out to VB Plumbing of Del Valle.

Gas Water Heaters

Like electric water heaters, gas water heaters will need the same attention and maintenance to make sure that you get the maximum lifespan out of them. The use of hot water, is something that we may not think about much on a daily basis, but when we don't have it, we suddenly realize its importance. United States households typically use between 60 and 140 gallons of hot water each day, and this may come in many forms, including cleaning of clothes and dishes, or baths and showers. Many times gas hot water heaters are attractive to homeowners and businesses due to their reasonable cost, and their ability to hold between 20 and 80 gallons of water, but you will also want to look at other factors as well, including size/rating, energy expenses, and the fuel type. You will want to inspect and maintain your gas hot water heater on a regular basis, which may include checking the temperature-release valve, insulating pipes, flushing the tank of sediment, insulating the heater, or even checking the anode rod.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless hot water heaters are newer than the more traditional gas and electric hot water heaters that we are accustomed to, but depending on the situation, they can provide benefits that other water heaters may not, including taking up less space, and being more energy efficient. The tankless hot water heater has been gaining in popularity ever since it was introduced to us in the mid 1990's, and is sometimes called an "on-demand" hot water heater due to the fact that it has no storage tank. The tankless hot water heater can be very efficient due to the fact that it does not have to keep a tank of water heated at all times, as the more conventional hot water heaters with tanks do. Another advantage to a tankless hot water heater may be that they can last up to 20 years or so, if they are maintained properly. If you are looking to purchase a "tankless hot water heater", you will just want to look at the different variables, such as cost of maintaining the unit and the cost of the unit itself.
