Water Heaters

  • New Install – Replacement – Go Tankless! Or 50+ gallons
  • When considering whether to repair or replace a water heater, there are a few factors to keep in mind. If your current water heater is experiencing issues, the first step is to assess the severity of the problem. For example, if it’s an electric or gas unit and is relatively new, a repair might be more cost-effective. However, if it’s older and has frequent issues, replacement might be the better option.
  • Regarding sizes, a 50-gallon tank is typically sufficient for most households, but if you’re considering a tankless system like the Navien, it can provide on-demand hot water and potentially save space and energy in the long run. Tankless systems often have a higher initial cost but can be more efficient over time.
  • What specific issues are you facing with your current water heater? That might help narrow down whether a repair or replacement is best for you.
  • Water Filtration – Remove contaminants from the water supply making it safe to drink.
  • Water softener – Removes the minerals from water that causes hardness and scale.
