Our professionals work on both residential and commercial water heaters, including electric water heaters, gas water heaters, and tankless water heaters.

Electric water heaters should last between 8and 12 years, so many times it may be more practical to replace your electric water heater, rather than repair it, depending on its age. Many times it is possible to extend the life of your electric water heater by performing regular maintenance. Depending on the area that you live in, the water may be “hard”, leaving sediment in the bottom of your tank. Flushing the tank at least once a year can help prolong the life of your electric water heater. Electric water heater failure can be a catastrophic event inside a home or business, due to the amount of water that they hold, and the possibility of a continuing water leak. Many electric hot water heaters are also in the attic of homes, and this can be a particularly disastrous situation for homeowners. If you are experiencing any issues with your electric hot water heater, do not hesitate to
contact HB Plumbing in Argyle.

Gas hot water heaters will also needmaintenance, repair, or replacement depending on the situation. Gas hot water heaters should last a minimum of 7 years if properly maintained. We use hot water on a daily basis, many of us, without even giving it a second thought. Most United States households will use between70-130 gallons of hot water per day. We use it for our showering/bathing needs, but we also use it to clean our clothing and our dishes, and household surfaces. Gas hot water heaters usually hold anywhere from 20-80 gallons of hot water. Gas hot water heaters can be less expensive than some type of hot water heaters, but it is also important to look at other variables as well, including the fuel type, energy costs, and the size and rating. Gas hot water heaters need to be maintained regularly, just as electric hot water heaters need maintaining. Some of the maintenance that can be performed on your gas hot water heater are to 1) Drain sediment from the hot water heater tank, 2) Check the anode rod, 3) Check the temperaturepressure-release valve, 4) Insulate the pipes, and 5) Insulate the heater.

In addition to the electric and gas hot waterheaters, we also have the relatively newer “TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATERS”. These hot water heaters are small, compact, and energy efficient. The tankless hot water heater did not come about until the 1990’s, and has been slowly becoming more popular ever since. Tankless hot water heaters are also called “on-demand” hot water heaters, since there is no tank that is storing water. A tankless hot water heater does not take up near as much space as the traditional electric/gas hot water heaters, and are much more efficient due to the fact that they do not need to keep a large tank of water hot on a continual basis. It is possible for tankless hot water heaters to last over 19 or 20 years if properly maintained. If you are considering purchasing a “tankless hot water heater”, you will also want to consider the cost, which can vary widely, as well as the cost of maintenance on the unit.

No matter what your hot water heater needs are,HB Plumbing of Argyle can provide the professional services that our clients expect.
