Water Heater Replacement and Installation Services
According to the Department of Energy, heating water accounts for about 17% of a household’s total energy usage. If a water heater isn’t operating efficiently, this cost can be even higher. Water heaters can fail abruptly for several reasons, such as age (water heaters typically last around 12 years), corrosion in the water system, incorrect water pressure, faulty thermostats, and more. Here in Colorado, we often see water heaters fail at the beginning of the colder months, when hot water usage is increased and because of which, water heaters have to work harder. This can leave residents without hot water, and a replacement is often needed with short notice.
Natural Gas Water Heater Installation and Replacement
Natural gas water heaters are a popular choice for many homeowners and businesses, particularly those with an existing gas line. Natural gas water heaters use natural gas as their fuel source to heat water for homes or businesses. They come in various sizes, typically ranging from 10 to 60 gallons. We typically install 40 or 50-gallon water heaters, ideal for meeting the hot water demands of the average household. However, if you need a different size, our team is happy to help you find the perfect fit for your needs.
Pros of Natural Gas Water Heaters
· Efficiency: Natural gas water heaters heat water faster than electric models, providing a quicker recovery rate. This means you get hot water faster, which is great for busy households.
· Cost-Effective Operation: Although the initial installation cost might be higher, natural gas water heaters are generally cheaper to operate than electric water heaters due to lower fuel costs.
· Reliability: They work even during power outages, ensuring you have hot water when you need it most.
· Environmental Impact: Natural gas is a cleaner-burning fuel compared to other fossil fuels, which means it produces fewer greenhouse gases.
Cons of Natural Gas Water Heaters
· Initial Cost: The upfront cost for natural gas water heaters, including installation, can be higher than for electric models.
· Installation Requirements: They require a connection to a natural gas line, which might not be available in all homes or might require additional installation work.
· Ventilation: Proper ventilation is necessary to safely exhaust combustion gases, which can add to the complexity and cost of installation.
Electric Water Heater Installation and Replacement
At Replumb Specialties Inc., we offer expert installation of electric water heaters, which are an excellent option for many homeowners and businesses in Colorado. Electric water heaters use electricity to heat water for your home or business. They come in various sizes and models to suit different needs and preferences. Our team is here to help you select the best electric water heater for your specific requirements.
Pros of Electric Water Heaters
· Lower Initial Cost: Electric water heaters typically have a lower upfront cost compared to natural gas and tankless water heaters, making them a more affordable option for many households.
· Longevity: Generally, electric water heaters have a longer lifespan compared to their natural gas counterparts.
· Efficiency: Electric water heaters are more efficient than natural gas models since they convert nearly all the electricity into heat, resulting in less energy loss.
· Installation Flexibility: These units do not require a gas line or ventilation system, simplifying the installation process and making them suitable for a wider range of homes and locations.
Cons of Electric Water Heaters
· Operating Costs: The cost of electricity can be higher than natural gas, leading to potentially higher monthly operating costs.
· Recovery Rate: Electric water heaters generally have a slower recovery rate compared to natural gas models, which means it might take longer to heat water after heavy usage.
· Power Dependency: Electric water heaters rely entirely on electricity, so during power outages, there will be no hot water.
Tankless Water Heater Installation
Tankless water heaters are an increasingly popular choice for many homeowners and businesses in Colorado. Tankless water heaters, also known as on-demand water heaters, heat water only when it is needed. Unlike traditional water heaters, they do not store hot water in a tank. Instead, they provide hot water immediately when you turn on the tap. These units are usually wall-mounted, saving valuable floor space.
Pros of Tankless Water Heaters
· Energy Efficiency: Tankless water heaters are highly efficient because they only heat water when it is needed, reducing energy consumption compared to traditional water heaters.
· Space Saving: With their compact, wall-mounted design, tankless water heaters free up space in your home or business.
· Unlimited Hot Water: Since they heat water on demand, you won’t run out of hot water, making them ideal for larger families or businesses with high hot water usage.
· Long-Term Cost Savings: Despite their higher upfront cost, many users find tankless water heaters to be more cost-effective in the long run due to their lower energy consumption and reduced utility bills.
· Longevity: Tankless water heaters typically have a longer lifespan than traditional water heaters, providing reliable service for many years.
Cons of Tankless Water Heaters
· Higher Initial Cost: Tankless water heaters come with a higher upfront cost for the unit and installation compared to traditional water heaters.
· Complex Installation: Installation can be more complex and may require upgrades to your home’s electrical or gas systems, adding to the initial expense.
· Flow Rate Limitations: The flow rate of tankless water heaters may be limited, which means they might struggle to provide hot water simultaneously to multiple outlets in large homes.
