Water heater installation

Selecting the right traditional or tankless water heater for your home can be difficult if you do not know what factors to consider. Whether you are interesting in purchasing a new unit or a replacement for your current unit, BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air recommends taking the following factors into consideration:

Quality of Water

The type and quality of the water in your home should affect your choice of water heater. This is because hard water often has excess minerals and calcium that can lead to sediment buildup in traditional tank-based heaters. If you plan on investing in a tank-based unit even if you have hard water, we also recommend installing a water softener system to prevent their harmful effects. If you decide on a tankless heater, however, be sure to provide regular maintenance and other necessary water heater services to ensure its longevity and efficiency.

Power Source

Before purchasing a heater, it’s important to know what power source is needed to run it. Electricity and natural gas are the two most widely used fuels for heating appliances.The kind of heater you choose will also directly impact how much it will cost you to operate the system. Make sure the system fits your budget before calling in the experts for water heater installation

Capacity

Traditional heaters come equipped with large tanks that store the heated water. This means that these need a much bigger space in order to be installed. On the other hand, tankless heaters need very little space, making them ideal for apartments and small homes. If you are unsure of what size you need, feel free to consult an expert provider of water heater repair in Colorado Springs, CO.
