Water Heater Installation
Upgrade to an Energy Efficient Tankless Water Heater
Upgrading to a tankless water heater can bring several benefits to your home! When you’re ready to make the switch to a more energy-efficient water heater, get in touch with Aire Serv!
Continuous Hot Water: Tankless water heaters heat water on demand, providing a continuous supply of hot water. This eliminates the need to wait for a tank to refill and reheat, making them ideal for households with high hot water demand.
Energy Efficiency: Tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient than traditional tank heaters. They only heat water when needed, reducing standby heat loss that occurs with traditional tanks. This can lead to lower energy bills over time.
Space-Saving Design: Tankless water heaters are compact and typically mounted on walls, freeing up floor space that would be occupied by a bulky tank-style water heater. This is especially beneficial for smaller homes or apartments.
Longer Lifespan: Tankless water heaters generally have a longer lifespan than tank-style heaters. They can last up to 20 years or more with proper maintenance, compared to the average 10-15 years for tank heaters.
Reduced Risk of Water Damage: Tankless water heaters don’t store large volumes of water, reducing the risk of leaks or catastrophic water damage compared to tank-style heaters that can burst or leak over time.
Customizable Temperature: Many tankless water heaters allow you to set and adjust the water temperature precisely, giving you more control over your hot water needs.
Improved Environmental Impact: Due to their energy efficiency, tankless water heaters have a lower carbon footprint compared to traditional tank-style heaters. They consume less energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Potential Rebates and Incentives: In some areas, upgrading to a tankless water heater may qualify you for rebates or incentives offered by local utility companies or government programs, promoting energy-efficient upgrades.
Despite these benefits, it’s important to consider the upfront cost of installation, which can be higher than traditional tank-style heaters. However, the long-term savings on energy bills and the overall efficiency of tankless water heaters often outweigh the initial investment for many homeowners. It’s also good to remember that many types of water heaters can produce carbon monoxide. Contact us to have a carbon monoxide detector installed in your home!

What to Expect at a Maintenance Appointment

- Flushing the Tank: This process involves draining the tank to remove sediment buildup that accumulates over time.
- Inspecting and Tightening Connections: Our service professionals will inspect all fittings and connections to ensure there are no leaks or potential issues that could develop into leaks over time. They will tighten any loose connections to prevent water leaks.
