Different Types of Water Heaters
When it comes to replacing a water heater, there are three main types of water heaters you can choose from: conventional, hybrid, and tankless. Here’s a little information about each one:
Conventional water heaters: These water heaters (which have tanks) are the most common, traditional choice for people shopping for water heaters. They’re often large and cylindrical, and they store hot water in the tank for when it’s needed. They have a thermostat that controls the temperature of the water, which can be lowered manually to save energy.
Hybrid water heaters: These water heaters combine the best of tank volume and innovative water heating systems. Hybrid water heaters do not put out continuous hot water and the output of the hot water is not much more than a standard tank type of heater. However, the efficiency of the hybrid is an energy-saving machine. You’ll also be able to use a smart thermostat with a hybrid water heater, resulting in increased energy efficiency and savings.
Tankless water heaters: These water heaters are the most energy and space efficient. Instead of keeping water hot continually, tankless water heaters use gas or electricity to heat the water only when it’s needed. They’re also much smaller in size than conventional and hybrid water heaters since they don’t have a tank.
Water Heater Replacement in VA: Benefits
You’ll get a wide range of benefits by choosing Robinson’s Plumbing to upgrade or replace your water heater:
Worry-free for at least a decade: Older water heaters can suddenly spring a leak when you least expect it. You’d be surprised how quickly a room or basement can flood.
Replacing your old water heater now will provide you with 8 to 15 years of worry-free living—no need to second guess when your existing water heater might go out.
Accommodate a growing family: If your family is growing or you expect it to grow over the next decade, a higher output water heater will better accommodate the hot water needs of more people living under your roof.
Longer showers: Replacing your existing water heater with a higher output water heater will allow you to take longer showers, and you’ll be able to enjoy that comfort year-round.
Save money: If you currently have an older model water heater, upgrading could result in increased energy and water savings, especially if you go with a tankless water heater installation. Your new water heater will directly translate into lower bills at the end of the month.
Improved noise levels: Some older water heater models tend to be a bit on the noisy side. Generally speaking, the older your water heater gets, the more noise it can make. Investing in a new water heater can help reduce that noise.
