Thinking about getting a new water heater for the house you just shifted to but are unsure which one to pick? Your relative suggests a storage water heater. Your friends, on the other hand, suggests the latest tankless water heater in town. Which one would be the best?

If you go to look at it, tankless water heaters are way beneficial than storage ones. So what really is special about these water heaters?

Lifespan
One of the greatest benefits of tankless water heaters is that they last really long. Once you setup a tankless water heater, you don’t need to worry about anything else. While a typical tank water heater is supposed to last 10 to 13 years, tankless water heaters are estimated to last up to 20 years. The compact size of the tankless water heater takes less space than the conventional takes and is versatile. This means you can fix a tankless water heater anywhere in the house.

Cost Savings
Although you will have to spend money to install the tankless water heater system, in the long-term - you will save. While it’s going to cost you to get the best water heater in town and all its plumbing properly fitted, however your operating costs down the line should make up for it.

Energy Efficient
What you're saving on is in not having to spend money on standby heat, meaning you're not wasting money heating water in a tank that's just sitting idly waiting for someone to need hot water. Tankless systems provide that hot water on demand, instantaneously, when you need it. This way, you don't have to waste energy heating unused water then it cools down, then again heating it when necessary. This will help you lower your utility bill.

Endless Supply of Hot Water
The unit brings into play a certain reliability factor. If you have the right size unit, it can effortlessly deliver a continuous supply of water at preset temperature levels. This could be as much as 5 to 7 gallons of hot water per minute. They simply never run out of water. It will let you take full advantage of your Roman bath or Jacuzzi tub. Also, you could take a shower while your dishwasher and laundry are going on.

No Cold-Shower Mornings Anymore
Finally, the best of them all. Maybe you have a lot of people in your house who use a lot of hot water or you are the first one to get up and you hate waiting for the water to heat. Everyone hates to get into a cold water shower first thing in the morning, especially during a winter morning. A 50-gallon electric water heater can take over an hour to completely recover the hot water. With a tankless water heater, the water is heated as and when you need it. Get up and just jump into that shower!

Get a tankless water heater installed today. The benefits of a tankless water heater are way better compared to a storage water heater, be it in terms of costs or energy, you name it. If you need any help setting up your tankless water heater system, contact Hot Water Tanks Edmonton today.

Hot water tanks are probably one of the most reliable machines in your home. But there are times when even they stop functioning properly and require a water heater repair service. The question is whether you should conduct the hot water tank repair yourself or call for a professional hot water tank repair. Here are the problems you should call a professional repair service and not attempt to fix it yourself.

Problem: Rumbling Sound From Water Heater

If your water heater is making loud rumbling noises, it means that there is a sediment build-up forming inside your hot water tank. This sediment build-up could also cause the overheating and boiling of water inside the tank

Solution
The simplest solution for this problem is flushing the hot water tank with a gallon of water to remove the sediment. If the problem still persists, as is often possible with older water heaters, it is best to call for a professional hot water tank repair as the tank may need to be repaired or replaced completely.

Problem: Rotten Egg Smell from Water Heater

The possible cause of this problem could be bacteria in the tank due to the hydrogen gas released from the anode of the water heater.

Solution
  • Flush the water tank
  • Use hydrogen peroxide solution of 2 pints 3% peroxide to 40 gallons of water and let peroxide solution set in tank and pipes for 2 hours.

If the problem persists, replace it with a zinc alloy anode. For this, it is advisable to hire a professional. If replacing the anode also does not work, consider replacing the tank with a plastic lined one. This is also best done by a professional so consider calling a professional water heater repair service.

Problem: Rust Colored Water
Rusty water from the water heater could be caused due to rust formation in the anode or in the hot water tank itself. If not checked in time, the rust can corrode the hot water tank and require complete replacement of the water tank.

Solution
If the rust is due to a rusty anode, consider replacing the anode. You can easily find the replacement anode at a plumbing supplies store.

However, if the rust is due to corrosion of the hot water tank itself, it is time to replace the tank and this is best handled by a professional hot water tank repair service.

These are only a few of the problems that your hot water tank could be facing. Before you realize that your water heater is not working on a chilly winter morning, it is best to contact a professional water heater repair service and get the minor problems fixed.

Saving Power With Your Water Heater

Does your energy bill drive you crazy at the end of every month? Do you feel like you’re wasting a lot of water and don’t know how to reduce it? We have the solution.

Short showers and no baths
Depending on your family’s habits, you can save a lot of water and as a result, end up reducing your energy bill. Warm bath uses a lot of water compared to a short shower. As a warm bath is a nice luxury, but taking short showers will help you reduce the energy bill by minimizing your usage of water.

Reduce your time in the shower

Everyone does this - we spend too much time in the shower when it is cold outside. You don’t feel like stepping out in the cold. Make sure you avoid this and spend only as much time as is necessary in the shower. You can also try and turn off the shower while soaping up, shampooing or shaving. Start today!

Avoid the running water wastage

Are you guilty of leaving the water on while you brush your teeth? Or when you step away to grab dirty dishes, or find the soap? All of those extra minutes can add up to a lot of wasted water. It only takes a second to shut it off. If you know it, do it. All this wasted water adds up to your energy bill due at the end of the month.

Fix leaks
A leak can cost you as much as a dollar per month. This may not seem much, but when you use a drip calculator to put things into perspective, at 60 drips per minute(one drop per second), you waste 8.64 gallons per day, 259 gallons per month, and just over 3,153 gallons per year. That is a LOT of good, clean water just going to waste. This is one of the simplest ways to save water with your water heater.

A timer for your water

Consider installing a timer that turns off your water heater when it’s not in use, especially during the night time. This way you can reduce the units on your energy bill. You could also use it to turn off the water heater during your utility's peak demand times.

You can contact a professional plumbing agency if you need to get any of your leaks or faucets fixed for leaks. Start saving water today. Water conservation is an important issue and each one of us needs to take it seriously.

5 Reasons Why You Want A Storage Water Heater

Picture
You want to buy a storage water heater before the winter sets in,however you don’t know whether opting for a storage water heater would be a good idea or not. Read on to clear that cloud of confusion.

These are the few reasons why you would want to buy storage water heater
  • Immediate hot water
Who doesn’t like a long and lasting flow of hot water during those chilly winter mornings? Because storage water heaters have a supply of heated water standing by for use, you won’t have to wait long for the water to reach the taps. Just turn on the tap and voila! There you go.
  • Installation costs
Wondering what the installation costs are? Compared to tankless water heater systems, the installation cost for a storage water heater is quite less. Tankless water heaters cost three times the cost of storage water heaters to setup. Although this might seem like a good option to go for considering the long term, setting up a storage water heater will not hit your immediate budget and plans.

  • No alterations to natural gas line changes
Storage water heater can immediately connect to the current gas supply. Natural gas is the best option for a tankless system, but the current natural gas piping in your home may be insufficient for the needs of the new tankless water heater. This can mean higher costs for installation. Avoid all the unnecessary hassle and go for a storage water heater.
  • No need for any changes to the circuit
Storage water heaters comfortably go with your current electric power load. You should not have to make any changes to your current electric circuit.
  • No need of high flow rate
"Flow rate" is the amount of water that needs to be heated at one given point of time. If you do not have a household that places a large demand at one time on the water heater, the flow rate may be too low to activate a tankless water heater. Storage water heaters have no minimum flow rate, however.
  • Storage capacity
When it comes to water storage, a conventional tank-type heater wins hands down. A big tank water heater can store up to 150 litres of hot water and it can fulfil all your kitchen, bathroom, laundry needs. On the other hand, a tankless water heater is able to supply only a few litres of hot water at a time.
Now that you are aware of the benefits of a storage water heater, you can go and buy a storage water heater today. And if you need any help you can always consult professionals like Hot Water tanks Edmonton who will help you in your time of need.
