Different Water Heater Types<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a variety of water heaters that can be installed in your home, and each type functions in different ways and has different benefits. The most common type of water heater is an electric heater. This type of water heater doesn\u2019t require gas and instead is powered by electric energy, which makes it a sustainable option. Electric heaters can also be easier to operate than gas heaters.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gas heaters can often be less expensive than electric heaters, but it\u2019s important to compare specific models against one another as efficiency can vary even between the same type of heater. Electric heaters can require new elements and thermostats too over time. Both gas and electric heaters should be flushed as part of regular maintenance.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these types of heaters are two common options, there are other varieties as well. Tankless heaters and hybrid heaters could also be a good fit for your home!
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tankless heaters will heat water on demand and can be more compact than other heater varieties. Rather than warming gallons of water at a time, they only heat up the water you need at the moment, making them an efficient option.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hybrid heaters can use multiple methods to heat water, including electricity and heat pump. This makes them an efficient, energy-saving choice. Hybrid heaters are both more efficient and better for the environment. Municipalities and manufacturers also grant rebates on hybrid heaters as an extra incentive.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Heater Maintenance<\/strong>
Depending on the type of water heater you\u2019re using, regular maintenance tasks can vary. However, for all water heater types, we recommend regular maintenance to ensure efficiency and longevity. This will help you maximize the life of your heater. With both electric and gas heaters, call a professional if you aren\u2019t comfortable with handling these sources of heat. At Mr.Drain Plumbing<\/a><\/strong>, we can provide you with annual water heater check-ins and scheduled maintenance.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Heater Rebuilding<\/strong>
When you encounter issues with your water heater, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you need to completely replace it. Rebuilding the problematic parts of your water heater can save you time and money! This will also help extend the life of your water heater.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, in gas heaters<\/a><\/strong>, a control valve or thermal ignitor may give out while the rest of the heater remains undamaged. Replacing these parts can return your heater to working condition without requiring a larger replacement project. In electric heaters, the temperature or pressure release valve might need to be replaced but not the entire heater.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Replacing Your Water Heater<\/strong>
In some cases, you may need to replace your entire heater rather than rebuilding it. This can be a necessity with older heaters or a voluntary replacement if you want to upgrade to a different type of heater. There are also some telltale signs that your water heater might need to be replaced. Some of these signs can be solved by replacing parts rather than replacing your heater entirely, but it\u2019s best to consult a professional.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs that you need to replace your heater can include leaks at the top or bottom of the heater, strange noises being emitted, a lack of hot water, and rusty water from taps.
