Water Heater Installation Ottawa

When homeowners build a new house, they shouldn’t overlook the importance of choosing the best water heater. The right device has optimized energy efficiency and better longevity and rarely runs out of hot water. We specialize in the following models:

  • Electric: Electric water heaters pose no safety risks, boast lower upfront costs, and require less maintenance. However, they take longer to heat your water.
  • Gas-powered: Gas devices rapidly heat water, and the fuel they run on costs less than electricity. However, they require a greater initial investment and come with a couple of safety concerns.
  • Tankless: Though they cost a lot to install, tankless models last longer, never run out of heat, and require significantly less space.

Water Heater Replacement Ottawa

If you already have a device but need a new one, we provide expert water heater replacement. The process requires similar steps to installation, but we have to remove and dispose of the older model. How do homeowners know when they need a new appliance?

The Original Device Has Aged Out

Traditional water heaters last about 15 years, whereas tankless models can operate well for up to two decades. Without regular maintenance, some devices may last less than 10 years.

When an appliance reaches the end of its life, upgrading it will save you money in the long run since you won’t have to pay for frequent repairs and higher bills.

The Device Makes Concerning Noises

A heater should run relatively quietly, to the point you forget it exists until it has a problem. What noises indicate it’s time for a replacement?

  • Rumbling
  • Banging
  • Hissing
  • Sizzling
  • Crackling
  • Humming

A professional plumber can eliminate some of these with simple repairs. Rely on them to make the right call.

Visible Damage to Various Components

Even homeowners who meticulously care for their appliances may eventually see damage to their devices. The most obvious sign includes moisture pooling around the base of your appliance. While the tank drains, it shouldn’t show any condensation other than in the drain pan.

You may also notice rust or corrosion around various components, like the pressure relief valve. If a piece looks loose or broken, especially after recent repairs, call for an upgrade.

Energy Bills Skyrocket Without Explanation

One commonly overlooked sign that homeowners need water heater replacement is rising energy bills. While you could expect to pay more after rate hikes, without a reasonable explanation, assume the device is running less efficiently. A permanent decrease in energy efficiency is one of the primary reasons why upgrading older models is a prudent investment.

Frequent Repairs Don’t Solve Issues for Long

As a device ages, it will require more frequent and expensive repairs. Even the best plumbers can only do so much to stem the effects of old age. While we could continue finding costly solutions, replacing the device will save money over time.
