Studies by the Department of Energy show that heating water accounts for around 18% of your home energy consumption. It's worth considering that a higher initial investment in a more expensive water heater that is more efficient will help you save money over the long run by using less energy.

Most older water heaters have a large tank that holds the heated water. Some newer models do not have a tank — they heat the water with coils as it's needed. For that reason, they're also called "instantaneous" or "on-demand" water heaters. The list below highlights the important differences between the two types.

As you shop, you'll find that standard residential tank water heaters vary in size and capacity, generally ranging from 20 gallons to 80 gallons. The tank capacity determines the size of the entire unit, and newer models have more insulation than older models. A new 50-gallon model will probably take up more space in your home than the water heater it's replacing.

Another important number to consider is the FHR (first-hour rating). The FHR indicates how much hot water you can get from the system during its first hour of operation. A good FHR is close to your family's peak usage, such as showering and running the dishwasher and washing machine at the same time.

Whenever you invest in a major home appliance, you want to pay attention to the warranty. When it comes to water heaters, a longer warranty is better. With proper maintenance, a residential water heater can last 20 years or more. Unfortunately, many homeowners do not have proper maintenance performed, so that lifespan averages out to 10 to 15 years.

When you have Indoor Air provide a new water heater, you get the manufacturer's warranty, but you also get our labor warranty. Please ask us for the details!

Installing a water heater is a significant home improvement project. Removing the old one can be difficult, especially when it's full of mineral deposits, or you have to move it up or down a flight of stairs.

Installing a water heater also requires tools and equipment that may not be in every homeowner's garage, like drain pans, water heater blankets, expansion tanks, pipes, fittings, and insulation. Doing the plumbing to properly install a water heater is tricky, particularly if it's a gas water heater (where mistakes can be dangerous).

You can rely on Indoor Air for complete water heater installation services. It's quicker, safer, and far less hassle! Call today for your free estimate.
