Water Heater Replacement

"Charlie came earlier than the time frame, which was great! He gave me a free estimate and was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Later in the day Adam and Sam came to install the water heater. Adam was very knowledgeable and professional, answering all of my questions and took lots of time with me to explain everything. What a crew! Clean up was perfect, booties were worn, rugs were laid down for floor protection, and they brought a vacuum. I highly recommend this team!"

Signs It's Time For Water Heater Replacement

Insufficient Hot Water – Over time sediment in the tank accumulates, which results in creating a barrier between the water and the heat source.

Cloudy or Bad Smelling – Water mineral particles can travel through the lines, causing cloudiness and carrying with it unpleasant smells.

Defective Temperature and Pressure Release Valve – Proceed with caution! Inspect your valve at least once a year. If the valve were to fail, the tank could have the potential to explode.

Tank is Leaking – If your water heater is leaking, it is time to replace–immediately!

Popping or Banging Noise – You can blame deposits for this! Because of their insulating properties, they cause the burner to run more. This causes the metal to overheat, which in turn expands the metal to expand and contact. Enough of this can cause the metal to fatigue, which could lead to the water heater tank to completely fail; resulting primarily in extensive water damage.

The Importance of Timely Water Heater Replacement

An outdated or malfunctioning water heater can lead to increased energy bills, inconsistent water temperatures, and even potential safety hazards. Recognizing the signs of a faltering heater and acting promptly can save you from larger costs and hassles in the future.

Which Water Heater Is Right for Your Grand Rapids Home?

When your hot water heater breaks down, you could simply replace it with the same type of unit you had before. However, it may be worth investigating the other water heater installation options available to you. You might end up saving money with a high–efficiency system, or finding a system that’s more convenient and long–lasting.

• Gas Tank Water Heaters – These are the most common water heaters found in homes because they are reliable, durable, and use the natural gas supply most homes already have access to. Today’s gas water heaters are more efficient than ever before.
• Electric Tank Water Heaters – The cost of electricity tends to be higher than the cost of gas, but electric water heaters are still a popular and efficient option, especially if you get a heat pump water heater.
• Tankless Water Heaters – Tankless water heaters only run when you need hot water, rather than using energy throughout the day, making them highly cost–effective throughout their long lifespans.
• Indirect Water Heaters – Lots of people in our area have hydronic heating systems, which are boilers that heat water to send radiant heating throughout the home. With an indirect water heater, hot water from the boiler is sent to a heat exchanger in the water heater, for a far more efficient method of hot water heating.
