7 Different Water Heater Models

Water Heater Installation, Repair & Maintenance in Mason, OH

If you know anything about health and nature, you know that water is essentially life. And, in our modern lives, the water in our home is such an essential part of our lives that we need to make sure it’s pure, clean, fresh and, when needed, that it’s heated.

For all the above, most homeowners have water softeners, or water treatment systems, in addition to having water heaters. Water softeners reduce calcium and limescale buildup inside pipes and on other plumbing fixtures. Because water softeners reduce the sediment buildup inside a water heater, they usually extend the life of the water heater. Water softeners also reduce the usage of detergents and provide other intangible quality of life benefits. Working together, water heaters and water softeners improve our lives in many ways.

At Mason Plumbing & Drain, we believe Ohio homeowners deserve the highest quality of water in their homes!

How Do I Choose the Best Water Heater?

When the time comes to replace your water heater, it’s natural you want to find the best replacement water heater possible. When choosing the best type and model of water heater for your home, you should consider the unit’s fuel type, fuel availability and cost, the size and space available and the unit’s total energy efficiency and cost.

Whether you decide to get a traditional water heater with a storage tank or you get one that’s tankless or on-demand, water heaters have a tremendous impact on your home’s comfort levels in addition to your overall monthly energy costs.

Energy costs are essential to consider because about 20% of the average household’s annual energy consumption comes from heating water. Typically, the average water heater that uses a tank runs for three to five hours each day.

Conventional Tank Water Heaters vs. Tankless Water Heaters

Nowadays, there are a wide range of types and models of water heaters you can choose from. Homeowners can choose anything from heat pumps and solar-powered water heaters to traditional water heaters. In any case, the most common types of water heaters available on the market are gas water heaters, electric water heaters, and tankless water heaters.

The older, tank water heaters are easily recognized because of their large metal cylinder storage tanks. These tanks store hot water and keep it heated on reserve for whenever it’s needed. Since these water heaters typically range in size from 40 to 60 gallons and are usually around 60″ tall by 24″ wide, traditional water heaters are often installed in a laundry room, storage room or basement. Tankless water heaters, however, only heat water when hot water is needed. Because they don’t require the large storage tank, these water heaters are not only more compact and convenient — they’re also much more efficient because they don’t constantly heat water. Traditional water heaters are usually less expensive and easier to install than tankless water heaters. Tankless water heaters also last longer. Traditional water heaters usually last anywhere from 10 years to 13 years. Tankless water heaters last up to 25 years or more.

Why Choose Mason Plumbing & Drain?

A reliable plumbing contractor will never offer expert services at extremely-cheap prices (or cutthroat rates). Potential customers should always be suspicious of anyone who does this. Because reputable plumbers who are established know the value of their work and the amount of money that goes into sustaining a reputable business that offers reliable plumbing solutions, they are usually fairly firm on their prices. Reputable companies have all sorts of overhead costs. Some of these costs are put in place for the customer’s sake.

These cheap plumbers are called fly-by-night contractors for a reason! We are merely looking out for your own good!
