Water Heaters

There are several types of water heaters, including storage tank water heaters, tankless
water heaters, heat pump water heaters, and solar water heaters.

A storage tank water heater heats and stores water in a tank until it is needed. When hot
water is used, cold water enters the tank to be heated by a heating element or gas burner.

A tankless water heater heats water on demand, rather than storing it in a tank. Cold water
flows through a heat exchanger, which rapidly heats the water as it is needed.

Tankless water heaters are more energy-efficient than storage tank water heaters, as they
only heat water when it is needed. They also save space, as they do not require a large storage
tank.

The lifespan of a water heater depends on the type of water heater and how well it is
maintained. A storage tank water heater typically lasts 10-15 years, while a tankless water
heater can last up to 20 years.

It is recommended that you have your water heater serviced annually to ensure it is working
properly and to prevent any potential problems.

If you notice that your water heater is leaking, you should turn off the power supply and the
water supply to the unit, and contact a professional plumber immediately.

Depending on the extent of the damage, a water heater can often be repaired. However, if
the water heater is old or experiencing frequent problems, it may be more cost-effective to
replace it with a new unit.

The size of the water heater you need depends on several factors, such as the size of your
household and your hot water usage. A professional plumber can help you determine the
appropriate size for your needs.

Water heaters should be installed in a location that meets safety and code requirements. A
professional plumber can assess your home and
